Global Alliance launched for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics
On 22 September, the Director-General of UNESCO, Irina Bokova, took part in the International Launch of the Global Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Alliance, with which UNESCO partners.
The Global STEM Alliance launch was co-hosted by the NY Academy of Sciences, UNESCO and the International Telecommunication Union, and held at the United Nations, led by Ellis Rubinstein, President the NY Academy of Sciences and Amir Dossal, head of the Global Partnership Forum, bringing together Governments at the highest level from across the world, along with the private sector, civil society organisations and academic institutions. His Excellency Dato' Sri Mohd Najib Bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak, Prime Minister of Malaysia, and the First Lady of Malaysia, participated in the event, as well as Andrew O'Brian, Special Representative for Partnerships at the US Department of State.
A prominent role during the event was played by young students as well as teachers, including 35 girls and boys from Malaysia.
"The Global STEM Alliance embodies the 'soft power' the world needs today," said the Director-General, "connecting the dots between government, the United Nations, the private sector and academia, on an issue at heart of all efforts to build a sustainable future."
In response to the global STEM crisis, Irina Bokova proposed four core areas of action – Attracting girls and boys into STEM, providing support countries at every level, to integrate STEM into development frameworks, to support curriculum development and teachers in every way, a new focus on girls and women – to attract them into STEM, to nurture new role models.
The President of Malaysia said "it is important there is a new generation of young people who are passionate about STEM -- we have to make this happen, to attract children into these studies, to make it fun and cool."
Ms Cathy Novelli, Undersecretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy & the Environment, United States Department of State, spoke at the launch, reminding all of the urgent need for STEM skills and knowledge for growth and development.
"The country needs STEM workers," said Ms Novelli, "as do all countries."
The Director-General placed the launch in the context of the post-2015 development agenda.
"Every country today is seeking new sources of dynamism, new levers for sustainable development – this is why STEM is so important," said the Director-General.

Fortaleza, Brazil, September 24, 2007 -
After playing with two-time Olympic silver medal winner Adriana Behar in Finland and Russia with fourth- and fifth-places, respectively, Ana Paula was again looking for a partner for this week's US$400,000 Banco do Brasil Open starting here Monday with the Brazilian country quota playoff matches.
With Shelda Bede returning to competition with Adriana Behar after missing the two European stops with her long-time partner due to injuries, Ana Paula found another legendary Brazilian to play with this week as two-time Olympic medal winner Sandra Pires accepted the invitation to compete with her Athens 2004 Summer Games partner.
Playing in their 17th SWATCH-FIVB World Tour event together, but their first since September 2004, Ana Paula and Sandra scored a 26-24 and 21-14 win in 44 minutes over Izabel Bezerra and Taiana Lima to advance to Tuesday's Qualification Tournament where the final eight berths for the women's 32-team will be decided on the Praia de Iracema.
"It was fun," said the 35-year old Ana Paula, who teamed with Sandra to place fifth in the Athens Games before ending their partnership a month later on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro by capturing the gold medal at the 2004 SWATCH-FIVB World Tour season finale.
"Leila is still a long way from recovering from her left hamstring problems," Ana Paula added. "I was hoping she would be ready to play this week, but her injury is really serious. I talked with my coach about reuniting with Sandra for this event. We gave her a call and the next thing we were training together. It will be tough since we still have to qualify for the Main Draw, but we like our chances."
Sandra, who won her 1,000th career Beach Volleyball match Monday, including domestic and international competition, won an Olympic gold medal with Jackie Silva at the Atlanta 1996 Games in an All-Brazilian finale against Monica Rodrigues and Adriana Samuel.
Four years later, Sandra and Adriana Samuel captured the bronze medal at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games after losing to eventual gold medal winners Natalie Cook and Kerri Pottharst of Australia in the semi-finals. At the Athens 2004 Summer Games Sandra and Ana Paula were eliminated in three sets by Adriana Behar and Shelda in the quarter-finals.
"I am still playing," said the 34-year old Sandra, "but more domestically now. Ana Paula and I had some very good results together, and hopefully, we can duplicate our last start together three years ago in Rio. We both have played a lot of matches. As for 1,000 career wins, I am glad to achieve the mark here in Brazil."
Tuesday's first qualifying match for Ana Paula and Sandra will be No. 100 together internationally as the pair has now posted 82-17 FIVB match mark. In their previous 16 events together during the 2003 and 2004 seasons, Ana Paula and Sandra competed in nine gold medal matches with five titles and $294,500 in earnings to rank 25th on the all-time SWATCH list.
Also winning Brazilian country quota matches Monday were the Salgado sisters (Carolina and Maria Clara) and Shaylyn Bede/Agatha Bednarczuk. Brazil has already placed four teams in the women's Main Draw, including Juliana Felisberta Silva/Larissa Franca, Talita Antunes/Renata Ribeiro, Adriana Behar/Shelda Bede and Maria Antonelli/Leão Vanilda.
The last of 13 double gender events on the 2007 SWATCH-FIVB World Tour calendar, the Banco do Brasil Open will have the men's country quota playoffs Tuesday followed by the qualifier Wednesday. Play continues through the weekend as teams from 34 countries will be seeking the $32,000 first-place prizes. Following the women's first- and third-place matches Saturday, the medal matches Sunday will conclude the men's 2007 SWATCH-FIVB World Tour schedule. The women's season-ending event will be played Oct. 31-November 5 in Phuket, Thailand.

text: Hostos Repertory Company To Premiere Play, "Young Hostos" Date: November 12, 2014 Time: 9:36 AM The Hostos Repertory Company is pleased to announce the fall theatrical production of the new play, Young Hostos, written by Hostos alumnus, Michael Gabriel Torres '11 and directed by Hostos Professor Angel Morales. The play represents a special highlight to the yearlong schedule of Hostos175 events, which celebrate Eugenio María de Hostos, the man the College is named after. The performance is also special because it will officially open the new Black Box Theater in Room C-151. Young Hostos presents scenes from Hostos' youth in Puerto Rico and New York City from 1858 to 1870. While Hostos is considered one of the greatest intellectuals of the Americas, and his contributions as an educator, writer and activist are well known, his early life is somewhat of a mystery. Young Hostos represents one of the only vehicles to take audiences into this period of the man's life. Professor Morales, current Artistic Director of the Repertory Company, said he is thrilled to work on a play written by a Hostos graduate. Professor Morales was introduced to Torres three years ago by Professor Ana María Flores when Torres was a senior at the Hostos Lincoln Academy. Professor Morales contacted Torres last fall and asked him to write the one-act play, and the rest is "Hostos history," so to speak. "I wanted our students to see a character onstage that they could relate to in an intimate way. Eugenio María de Hostos was a visionary and great teacher, but he was also a human being who fell in love, was passionate about his ideals from a very young age, and went through financial hardship in New York City," Professor Morales said. "I think that our audiences need to see that as well. This play goes beyond the iconic figure that we know." Torres, who is now majoring in Dramatic Writing at New York University, said although Hostos died in 1903, the issues he dealt with as a young man still resonate today. "This play was a great pleasure to work on and a true challenge to write, not only because I wanted to portray Hostos, the people in his life, and the world they lived in with honesty, but also because their story has so much to do with issues that myself and other young adults are dealing with," Torres said. "I hope that this play can entertain as well as inspire." For Professor Morales, the play is the perfect combination of entertainment and education. "With the help of scholars like (Hostos) Professor Orlando Hernández, we were able to collect important letters written by Hostos to his father, and journal entries from the time that Hostos was in New York which inspired Michael to write the play," Professor Morales said, "Michael is a new and young voice in playwriting, and the fact that he graduated from Hostos is also an asset to this production." Three Hostos students will make their acting debut in Young Hostos: Darío Peralta in the role of Eugenio María de Hostos; Karen Báez in the role of Hostos' first love, Cara; and Zaira Ramos as Hostos' sister, Lola. With them, the veteran actor Carlos Molina, Vice President of the Division of Continuing Education and Workforce Development will be playing the role of Hostos' father, Don Hostos. The play will be presented in the Black Box Theater (Room C151) of Hostos Community College on: November 20, 21, and December 5 at 7:00 p.m. November 26 and December 4 at 12:30 p.m. December 3 at 2:00 p.m. For more information, please call the box office 718-518-4455.

As weaponlights get smaller and smaller, yet retain the power of their much larger brethren, ever-greater options become possible. More and more holster manufacturers are designing holsters to accommodate weapon-mounted lights/lasers, too, so it becomes easier and easier to equip your daily carry with these devices.
Streamlight's TLR-4 offers a 125-lumen light and a red laser in one small package (2.8 ounces), with a green laser variant also available. The light has a 1.5 hour run time, while the laser has 11 hours on. A toggle switch at the bottom of the unit can be set for laser-only (left), light-only (middle) or light and laser (right).
Activation is accomplished one of two ways. Turning the lever counterclockwise for momentary activation, while turning it clockwise to a click engages the light/laser for constant-on. Activation of the TLR-4, for a right-handed shooter, is best accomplished with the thumb of the support hand (assuming a thumbs-forward grip), either for momentary or constant-on.
MSRP: $228.16 (red laser), $406.98 (green laser).

text: Alex Brown / 09 February 2019 / Categories: News 'Top Three Artefacts' 2019 Classics Final Anna from Year 8 was the youngest of four finalists for this national competition for students aged 11-19 years old. The competition is run by the Lytham St Anne's Classical Association and open to pupils from all schools and is hosted by AKS. For their submissions, students were invited to research, produce and deliver a 15-minute presentation to answer the question 'What are your three favourite artefacts from the Ancient World?'. Anna was first on stage and spoke very clearly and confidentially about her three favourite objects (The Rosetta Stone, The Lapith & Centaur Carving and The Code of Hammurbai). She gave a highly entertaining account of her rationale for choosing them, demonstrating her extensive knowledge and superb understanding of the ancient world. She used humour effectively, related them to modern times, as well as discussing her personal connection with each of them. Thomas from KGS went on stage next and he spoke about the boss (metal centre) of a Roman shield found near Kirkham which made it feel very close to home; the Portland Vase, which was so detailed it took two years to make, and a 'relief' (sculpture) showing the Emperor Claudius and Britannia celebrating the Roman Invasion of Britain. He explained that it's Britannia who is featured on our 50p coins, but that the first visual representation of her was through this sculpture. Archie from Bath followed Thomas. He'd come a long way for the competition, showing the significance and draw of the event. Archie showed pictures of the Gonzaga Cameo, the Bust of Dynamis and photo of a marble carving of Laocoon and his Sons. The marble carving was particularly impressive as it was so life-like. Apparently both Darwin and Charles Dickens have referenced Laocoon's facial expressions – which has reinforced the statue's kudos. Alice from Runshaw College went on last. Her talk focused on the themes of war, peace and unity and started by showing recent newspaper headlines which made her presentation feel very up-to-date. She explained that her favourite artefacts were The Narmer Palette, The Delphi Serpentine Column and the sculpture of Eirene and Ploutos. She also explained that her grandfather always told her that "obscure is interesting" which seemed like a fitting description for the whole competition. After the judges had deliberated, Thomas was named as both the winner of the People's Vote and of the competition overall, with Archie in second place. Both Anna and Alice were commended for their performances. Professor Scott commented that he couldn't have spoken "even a quarter as well as the finalists when he was their age". He noted that this event was the "epicentre of the outreach work" of the Classical Association and about how it's important for all students to develop a "global competency" to prepare them for current times. He gave positive feedback about all the participants and commented on how he loved Anna's enthusiasm, personal connection and how she shared how her perspective had changed as she thought about the artefacts. Well done Anna and thank you to Mr. Wainwright who coached Anna on her presentation. Public Speaking Scrummy Subway Print 1998

Implications of marijuana legalization for the CNU community
Canada has just legalized marijuana for recreational use. This again raises the issue of legalization in the U.S. According to the Pew Research center, 62 percent of Americans now support weed legalization and that number has only been rising in recent years. That alone is not a reason it should be legal. Marijuana should be legal when used responsibly as it does not affect anyone but those who choose to use it. In other words, one should be allowed to swing one's hand until it hits another mans face.
There are risks to others when the drug is used irresponsibly and those should be handled the same way we handle the misuse of alcohol now. DUIs should still be punished severely and we should not sell mind altering substances to those under the age of 18 because they are incapable of making their own decisions. Weed would simply become another vice that may be harmful to users, but one that users choose to use anyway.
Christopher Newport University would be put in an interesting position if weed were to be legalized. The school would most likely not want it in the dorms for the same reasons they don't want alcohol in the dorms. That assumes that CNU bans alcohol from the dorms because it feels the need to interfere in the legal life choices of its students.
It could be that CNU's ban on alcohol comes from noise complaints and the theoretical weed ban could be because of smoke issues. I suspect it is mostly the former with a tinge of the latter in both cases.
However, at the end of the day, whatever policy CNU decides on will probably be enforced by the RAs and FDAs, who tend to only enforce the current alcohol policy when they have no other choice. This makes whatever decision CNU makes irrelevant in the grand scheme because weed would become allowed de facto in most cases, as alcohol is now.

It has been a while since I had a chance to cook, or play on the internet with any real conviction, what with having a baby and all the madness that comes with the first 8 weeks of parenting (we have managed to keep him alive and fatten him to a healthy +6kgs, so all good so far). Now that my time and priorities have shifted, a quick meal has become not only essential, but the only kind of meal that will have the hope of happening, so please excuse me if the next few posts are all about haste. Most of them will probably be pasta as I try and quell the insatiable hunger from breastfeeding. Like seriously, I have a healthy appetite normally, but I have not been able to eat four filled croissants and still be hungry since I was a kid (when I, most memorably, ate 9 slices of toast with Nutella that German relatives had sent, in one sitting).
But back to the meal before the dude sleeping on my chest wakes up…
- 3 tomatoes
- 1 clove garlic (or more if you want)
- Leftover pesto (or make some fresh)
- Danish feta
- Wholewheat pasta screws
- Almonds
This dish came about when trying to make the most of a relatively bare fridge, leftover pesto, and some not-so-great-looking tomatoes. Pour boiling water over the tomatoes to loosen the skin. Peel and chop. Finely chop some garlic and fry. Add the tomatoes. Scoop out the leftover pesto and add. While the sauce is cooking, put the pasta on to boil, and toast the almonds.
When the pasta is ready, crumb the feta through the sauce. Mix in the pasta and add the almonds. Eat really quickly while you have a gap…

Luxury belongs to those ephemeral terms such as happiness, beauty, style, which are quite difficult to explain and even more difficult to define…
So many times reading design books and magazines we noticed expressions "luxury lifestyle", "luxury living" and "luxury homes". But what exactly do they mean? What are the indispensable attributes of luxury today? Several years ago these were golden taps and wall-to-wall marble. Those days are gone. Analyzing how perception of luxury has changed over the past few years, you can noticed the following changes:
If earlier people tended to buy tangible "status" things to demonstrate their wealth, today they prefer to buy unique experiences. These can can be anything: from diving in Galapagos Islands to space traveling. How did it affect Interior Design? Well, in the most direct way: people want to have luxury experiences in their houses, whether it is a spa-center in their bathroom or a home cinema system. The design process has also changed according to this trend as clients would expect it to become an experience as well. They don't want only to see samples of wallpaper and paint, they want to see their future house, to feel it and to experience it. That is the reason why 3D visualisation has become a compulsory element of design presentation nowadays.
People are shifting from "Big Brands" to local artisans and small boutiques. The reason is that they want to have in their houses one-of-a-kind objects, that no one else has. If you go to the luxury shops you will find the same assortment of goods no matter where you are – in Paris or in New York. How the thing can be considered luxurious (doesn't matter how much it costs), if it is not original and rare? No wonder that vintage pieces have become so popular…
Responsibility for environment is embracing the world as never before. Architect build unique eco-friendly buildings and even entire eco-cities using energy absolutely independent from external resources. Sustainable no longer means cheap. Furniture producers make stunning furniture from the reclaimed wood which adds unique character and history to the item. Designers no longer debate about possibility of merging luxury and sustainability: luxury is already becoming environmentally conscious.
Another change on luxury market today is that people become less effected by fashion and trends. They will not buy thing just because it is super popular, if they don't like it. They want their house to be built and decorated according to their needs and taste. In this sense luxury means custom-anything: from custom furniture to custom lampshades. The space has become more functional: nobody makes huge reception rooms if they are not really needed, or wine cellars if owners are not big fans of wine, or tennis courts if they don't play tennis.
Today there is no certain definition of luxury: everybody has his own understanding of it. In other words luxury is freedom to live the life you want. You have to answer the question: What luxury means to you?188.8.131.52www.kwiatkowskidesign.pl

By Jeffrey H. Brochin, J.D.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts lacked standing to sue HHS over two interim final rules (IFRs) which expanded the religious exemption to the contraceptive mandate of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) (P. L. 111-148), a federal district court in Massachusetts has ruled. Because the Commonwealth failed to set forth specific facts establishing that it would likely suffer future injury from HHS' conduct, it lacked standing to prosecute the action and therefore their motion for summary judgment was denied, while that of HHS was granted (Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. HHS, March 12, 2018, Gorton, N.).
Background. The ACA generally requires that employer-sponsored healthcare plans include a range of preventive care services on a no-cost basis. That requirement also mandates no-cost coverage with respect to women as provided for in comprehensive guidelines supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), an agency within HHS. HRSA enlisted the Institute of Medicine (IOM), which recommended that the services include all FDA-approved contraceptive methods, sterilization procedures, and patient education and counseling for women with reproductive capacity. Therefore, when the HRSA promulgated its Women's Preventive Services Guidelines in August 2011, non-exempt employers were required to provide coverage, without cost sharing, for all FDA-approved contraceptive methods.
The 'Church Exemption.' In 2011 and 2012, HHS issued regulations automatically exempting churches from the contraceptive mandate under what became known as the "Church Exemption". And, in 2013, they issued regulations providing an accommodation for objecting religious, non-profit organizations and institutions of higher education. That process was expanded to cover closely held, for-profit companies in response to Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., 134 S. Ct. 2751 (2014), in which the Supreme Court held that the contraceptive mandate violated the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) for certain for-profit employers.
Executive order regarding new regulations. On May 4, 2017, the President issued an "Executive Order Promoting Free Speech and Religious Liberty," that instructed agencies to consider issuing amended regulations to address conscience-based objections to the preventive-care mandate promulgated under section 300gg-13(a)(4). In accordance with the executive order, on October 6, 2017, HHS issued the two IFRs (see Contraception coverage exemptions extended for objecting employers on religious, moral grounds, October 11, 2017).
Expanded religious exemption. The IFRs created an expanded religious exemption, exempting objecting entities "from any guidelines' requirements that relate to the provision of contraceptive services" (Final rule, 82 FR 82 FR 47792, October 13, 2017, and Final rule, 82 FR 47838, October 13, 2017). The Religious Exemption Rule expanded objecting entities to include any non-governmental plan sponsor that objects to establishing, maintaining, providing, offering, or arranging (as applicable) coverage, payments, or a plan that provides coverage or payments for some or all contraceptive services, based on its sincerely held religious beliefs. The religious exemption also applied to institutions of higher education in their arrangement of student health insurance coverage to the extent of that institution's sincerely held religious beliefs.
The Moral Exemption Rule provided an exemption for nonprofit organizations and for-profit entities with no publicly traded ownership interests that object to establishing, maintaining, providing, offering, or arranging coverage or payments for some or all contraceptive services, or for a plan, issuer, or third party administrator that provides or arranges such coverage or payments, based on its sincerely held moral convictions.
Impact on MassHealth. In Massachusetts, almost two million residents are enrolled in their MassHealth program, and in addition, MassHealth serves as a secondary payer for approximately 150,000 residents who have commercial coverage, including employer-sponsored insurance and student health insurance, i.e. the MassHealth 'wrap-around' coverage for certain services not provided by the resident's commercial insurance.
States are 'not normal litigants.' The court noted that the standing inquiry at issue was affected by the fact that the plaintiff was the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and that "States are not normal litigants for the purposes of invoking federal jurisdiction." (Massachusetts v. E.P.A., 549 U.S. 497, 518 (2007)). The U.S. Supreme Court previously articulated a variety of theories by which a state may attempt to invoke federal jurisdiction, such as to vindicate its sovereign interests, its quasi-sovereign interests or its non-sovereign interests. Sovereign interests and certain non-sovereign interests, such as proprietary interests, reflect a direct injury to the state itself. Massachusetts proffered three injuries to establish standing: an injury to the state fiscal interests, an injury to the health and well-being of its residents and a procedural injury under the Administrative Procedures Act (APA).
Proportional theory. Massachusetts asserted that in the short and long term, the IFRs would inflict significant financial harm on the Commonwealth, which would be legally obligated to assume the costs of contraceptive, prenatal and postnatal care for many women who would lose coverage. Specifically, the IFRs would result in thousands of Massachusetts women losing coverage for contraceptive care and services. HHS on the other hand argued that such a "proportional theory" must fail as a matter of law because a state cannot establish standing based on a claim of injury from such alleged indirect effects. The court noted that even assuming that the Commonwealth's theory were to succeed as a matter of law, they had not made the requisite demonstration of specific facts: general and hypothetical allegations of injury cannot succeed at the summary judgment stage where the Commonwealth needed to do more than merely allege legal injury.
Intervening 'ACCESS Act.' The court further found the Commonwealth's assumption that it would be proportionally affected by the IFRs to be tenuous. The Commonwealth did not address the "ACCESS Act," which was enacted after the filing of their lawsuit. That state statute was reported one month after the IFRs were promulgated and was signed into law two weeks later, and the court noted that enactment of the ACCESS Act rendered suspect the Commonwealth's assumption that the IFRs would affect women proportionally throughout the country. Furthermore, the Commonwealth failed to establish that it was likely that any Massachusetts employers would avail themselves of the IFRs' expanded exemptions.
No injury to quasi-sovereign interests. Massachusetts also argued that the IFRs would inflict an injury to its quasi-sovereign interests in the health and wellbeing of its residents and in securing its residents from the harmful effects of discrimination. However, the court found that they also failed to set forth facts demonstrating such a claim. Quasi-sovereign interests are distinct from sovereign, proprietary and sovereign interests, and consist of a set of interests that a state has in the well-being of its populace.
Based on the foregoing reasons, the court found that the Commonwealth failed to demonstrate that it was likely to suffer an injury due to the IFRs, and that they therefore lacked standing to sue. HHS' motion for summary judgment was granted.
The case is No. 1:17-cv-11930-NMG.

A soggy start to our Bank Holiday camping adventure. A little bit of rain when we were setting up camp, and then quite a lot more rain when we cycled up to Great Malvern to have a bit of an explore. In the end, we just explored Caffè Nero to warm up and wait for the rain to stop.
We got back to the camp site, dried off a bit and then made our way over to get fish'n'chips *from a van*. This is a long running joke when camping. In fact, the van was a converted horsebox, not the first one that we've come across either. On a soggy Friday night, they were doing a roaring trade, with plenty of captive campers taking the easy option for Friday night dinner.
We chose fish'n'chips and mini fish'n'chips. They were both good but the mini fish'n'chips was a bit of a rip off, as they just chopped up a bigger bit of fish and gave you a much smaller portion of chips. If it was half the price for half the food, you might understand. At 75% of the price for about 33% of the food, it feels like a massive con. A child's portion at an adult price.
This weekend I have also come up with a new Camping and Caravanning Club motto. "You can't spell leisure without rules."

Dear Diary,
Neil and I had time off so we thought, why not visit the iconic Yosemite and see what it's all about? I went with pretty high expectations and wow were they surpassed!
We spent three days and learned a lot about this beautiful place.
My only warning is, don't forget be bug spray! I was literally chomped alive the first day. I learned my lesson and got the strongest repellent I could find and I was sorted for the rest of our trip. No bugs could ruin this amazing getaway!
I loved spending time in nature with the love of my life. It made us appreciate what life has to offer. Definitely the best way to spend our anniversary (4 years!) ♥
It was romantic and lovely! The sun was shining bright and we definitely spent every moment of light out exploring. We stayed in a small town just outside Yosemite where we got to enjoy the deer in the evenings and beautiful quiet sunrises in the morning. (I won't forget the delicious s'mores we had after a long day of hiking every night! That was my reward I gave myself for those 20k+ steps!)
We saw a variety of views ranging from Yosemite Falls, Brida Veil Waterfall, Taft Point, Glacier Point, El Capitan Meadow and Tunnel View. Those areas are must sees and are all photographed here.
It was for all ranges of difficulty and I liked that I didn't have to be at my prime to enjoy. Combine walking trails and driving and you can see most of the beautiful landscapes!
It was one of my favorite trips and I will definitely be back for more Yosemite!!

It's notoriously difficult to get the entire Sydney Opera House concert hall up and dancing. Yet, making his Opera House debut following an appearance at Falls Festival, Simon Green (aka Bonobo) made it seem effortless, as he toyed with the flexibility of electronic music performance in what's typically a rather inflexible venue.
It was only a few months ago that the 37-year-old Briton asserted via Twitter that, "There is no such thing as a 'live DJ set'," only to be questioned by confused fans. Does he just press play and let the computers do the work for him then? Is he really just faking it? Guiding his roster of supporting musicians like some kind of electro-conductor, Green showed the almost over-excited Sydney crowd just what he meant, and just how much he truly values his art.
Drawing mainly from 2013's runaway success The North Borders, as well as 2010's stunning release Black Sands, Bonobo took tracks like Cirrus, El Toro, Emkay and Sapphire, and welded them together into a rewarding multi-hybrid of dance-club, jazz lounge and downtempo crypt. Unexpected drops, a ridiculously impressive drum solo from Jack Baker and some perfectly extended grooves gave rise to multiple well-deserved standing ovations.
At times the stage was crowded with a string quartet, small horn and woodwind sections, multiple stray synthesisers, a guitarist, a percussionist and, of course, Green himself and the stunning vocal talents of Szjerdene. The sound was immense and cohesive, yet when Green found himself momentarily alone, hitting sample pads and twisting knobs, the effect was equally captivating.
Bonobo's performances aren't 'live DJ sets' per se. They rely heavily on banks of samples and computer-based triggers. Green and his talented friends know this, yet the fact that his sound is equally as invigorating and dynamic when it's solely him on stage is a reminder that he could probably just being playing everything himself.
As someone who has come to understand electronic music so well, Green commands his band in order to give his music that contagious communal liveness. And his solitary time on stage proved that he is the central mastermind, moulding and reshaping the sounds he has already created, giving them a renewed focus, cohesion and potency.

On Thursday, December 21, 2017 Savannah, Georgia lost a legend. Billy Lee was a respected and beloved Savannah native. Lee began his career as a United States Marine; proudly serving his country during the Korean Conflict. After attending Armstrong University, Lee entered the insurance business but realizing insurance sales was not his passion he became a well-known publican in the Savannah community owning local bars such as Rascals, Fosters, and Chuckles.
Knowing his community clung to its Irish history and heritage, Lee decided to open another pub on St. Patrick's Day 1987! Just a few squares off the beaten path, or just a few "to-go" drinks away, from the hustle and bustle of tourist traps in downtown Savannah, Lee opened McDonough's. Lee and his best friend, Robbie Davis (or "Snake") had a long running joke about who actually named the bar or even why. But, no matter who actually named the popular pub, and no matter the reason, McDonough's quickly became a local favorite among the Irish community, Savannah School of Art and Design students, local military, first responders, and tourists.
Jason Kerr, 25-year veteran of the Jacksonville Fire Department, remembers meeting Billy Lee for the first time in 2011. Kerr and his fellow firefighter, Dave Ellsworth, were in Savannah ready to march in their first St. Patrick's Day Parade. Kerr recalls feeling "thirsty" as he walked by Savannah Firehouse #1 and asking one of his "brothers" where he could find a drink. Kerr was told to "Walk 2 blocks down and you will see McDonough's." Kerr thanked his "brother" and he and Ellsworth headed straight to the pub. Walking in, in his full-dress uniform, Kerr recalls a "ruff but regal man" approaching him and thanking he and Ellsworth for their service and dedication to their communities. Kerr said thank you and extended his hand when this man introduced himself, Billy Lee. Since 2011 Kerr has brought the Jacksonville Firefighters to Savannah for St. Patrick's, and every year, Billy Lee, has welcomed the Jacksonville firefighters, as well as other first responders from near and far to McDonough's and Billy's Place.
Always giving back to his community, Billy Lee, always remembered to give back by supporting local charities such as 2nd Harvest and Kiss a Pig among dozens of others. Lee welcomed everyone into his pub no matter who you were, where you were from, and no matter your politics. Lee was known to never turn away anyone hungry or cold and was even known to have opened his pub up on cold nights to the less fortunate that had no where to sleep.
McDonough's has always been known as Savannah's favorite community pub with the best karaoke! Almost a "Cheer's" like atmosphere where everyone knows your name. Not only will you find Hibernians, Parade Committee members, and the Knights of Columbus enjoying a pint of Guinness, you see local college kids, military, and tourists singing karaoke at the top of their lungs. You see tour groups walking in the pub absorbing the history while savouring the taste of spirts such as Jameson Irish Whiskey.
In the late 1990's, Lee decided to open Billy's Place above McDonough's for a more refined and older crowd. You won't find Karaoke, but you will find a pianist. You won't be able to order the best buffalo wings in town upstairs, you will order the local Crab Cakes (but, don't forget to order the buffalo wings, downstairs, on the way home!).
The night of Lee's 75th birthday in 2007, McDonough's and Billy's Place caught fire destroying a majority of the 150-year-old building. Luckily, no one was injured but sadly McDonough's and Billy's Place would close for the next 8 months while the local favourite was being restored. As "they" say; from the ashes a Phoenix will rise! And, again, on St. Patrick's Day 2008 McDonough's and Billy's Place reopened!
While Savannah still mourns for one of its favourite publicans, Lee's children have now joined forces to ensure that McDonough's and Billy's Place remain a staple in the Savannah community as well as carrying on Lee's legacy of donating to various charities and welcoming in all who pass through the doors of Savannah's favourite pub.
St. Patrick's Day 2018, before the parade, Firefighter Kerr brought his brothers from Jacksonville back to McDonough's. Kerr, dressed in his uniform, took to the karaoke stage and commanded everyone's attention… Kerr asked everyone there to take a moment then raised a glass to the memory of Bill Lee.

I discovered that many people have been hotlinking images from my site, basically stealing my bandwidth. For some reason, this picture of a beer keg from my homebrewing page is very popular. .
I only just noticed this, because the hotlinkers were buried way down in my referrer log, under an avalanche of referrer-spam. For some reason, the referrer spammers appear to have given up, I don't see nearly so many referrals from online poker shitheads anymore.
I just turned on the "hotlink protection" feature of my web hosting service, which will immediately result in broken images for all the people who have linked my keg. It will be interesting to see how much my bandwidth drops off after this.

2015 Bourbon County Brand Stout by Goose Island Beer Co.
2015 Bourbon County Brand Stout by Goose Island Beer Co. is a 14.2% ABV Imperial Stout aged in bourbon barrels.
Intense Aromas of charred oak, oak, vanilla, caramel & smoke
"I really wanted to do something special for our 1000th batch at the original brewpub. Goose Island could have thrown a party. But we did something better. We brewed a beer. A really big batch of stout-so big the malt was coming out of the top of the mash tun. After fermentation we brought in some bourbon barrels to age the stout. One hundred and fifty days later, Bourbon County Stout was born-A liquid as dark and dense as a black hole with a thick foam the color of bourbon barrels. The nose is a mix of charred oak, vanilla, caramel and smoke. One sip has more flavor than your average case of beer. It overpowers anything in the room. People have even said that it's a great cigar beer, but I haven't yet tried a cigar that would stand up to it." Brewmaster Greg Hall;
IBU's 60-High Color – Midnight
I received this one as a gift by my new friend Joseph Taitano whom I was introduced by my friend Augie Escobedo, both of BeerBumz on Facebook. After making the impression with my homebrews at the beer session, I was humbled with this gift and I gracefully accepted. I haven't tried Bourbon County in a while and this being the 2015 version, I decided to bring it to the site for old time sakes and since I had it on hand. One of the beers along with others that started the trend of being able to barrel age brews to raise them into new flavor experiences. A level up if you will. Definitely something that has been well and consistent over the years despite being owned by InBev, Goose Island makes some very coveted brews. Cheers!
Vanilla, oak, toasted coconut, bourbon, dulce de leche caramel, rocky road ice cream, bananas, flan, Milk chocolate, dark chocolate, German Chocolate, Bakers chocolate, fudge chocolate, dark fruit currants, raisins, blackberries, raspberries, dark cherries, marshmallow smores, pecan pie, almond milk, molasses, anise, tobacco, coffee cake and crème brulee.
Milk chocolate, dark chocolate, German Chocolate, Bakers chocolate, fudge chocolate, vanilla, dulce de leche caramel, oak, bourbon, dark fruit currants, raisins, blackberries, raspberries, dark cherries, plums, chocolate cake, brownie batter, molasses, anise, tobacco, leather hints, flan, Sweetened condensed milk, bananas, clove spice, rocky road ice cream, almond joys, Khalua coffee liqueur, crème brulee, marshmallow smores, rum hints, mocha chocolate, chocolate mousse, Pancho pantera chocolate milk shake, port wine hints, pecan pie, almond milk and fondue.
Finishing with a lot of lingering flavors of bourbon, oak, vanilla, toasted coconut, rocky road ice cream, dark chocolate, dark fruit, crème brulee, flan, tobacco and earthy notes. No alcohol in the taste despite ABV, Dark supreme full body, smooth, creamy, velvety and syrupy mouthfeel and sipping drinkability.
There's a reason why this is one of the original brews that started using bourbon barrels to age their beers. Essentially, a staple in the bourbon barrel aged beer scene. A supremely exceptional brew that ranges with the most balanced and best examples of what makes the Bourbon Barrel Aged Beers I love so damn great. With the release of several to more markets, it is nice knowing that some of the brews that inspired the great barrel aging process can now let people be part of history and something special. A must have beer!
Anime Corner:
Franco il Nero from Tre Donne Crudelli "Outlaw Django" is used in this pairing since I had used her in the 2008 Bourbon County pairing to show this one will get you nice a buzzed but also warm you up inside. Also, the whole them of Cowboys and Cowgirls I used in this pairing with the beer because whenever I think of Bourbon and County, I think of the Old west. This beer should have won the west. Since it was the original Bourbon County pairing, it stuck. Also, this year, I added a more of a "County Fair" aspect to it (Yes, since County is in the name). You can see this as "Lily Salvatanna" helps out that girl and you see Franco above the tent with some Ruffians up to no good. Trying to steal some county fair ground goods I'm sure!
Cherry Rye Bourbon County Brand Stout by Goose Island Beer Co.
Cherry Rye Bourbon County Brand Stout by Goose Island Beer Co. is a 13.7% ABV Imperial Stout aged in rye whiskey barrels with whole cherries
Our brewers love experimenting with their beer almost as much as they love drinking it. This unique blend, aged in rye whiskey barrels with loads of whole Michigan cherries, is the one they are proud to finally let you share with your friends at home – or not. After your first sip, you'll agree, this beer has some real stones.
I once did a review under the Original 2008 Bourbon County Stout (https://brewerianimelogs.wordpress.com/2012/10/31/bourbon-county-brand-stout-vintage-2008-by-goose-island/) and I found it to be freaking amazing. So in 2012 they decided to release this variant which was super hard to find. I already know this is gonna be good and I highly recommended it you find it. Now on to the Review. The aroma of this amazing beer is of coconut, vanilla, whiskey, oak, flan, dulce de leche caramel, walnuts, rich dark and milk chocolate, cherry, cranberries, coffee, mocha, . The flavors are like a cherry pie or tart cherry cobbler with caramel made with chocolate dipped cherries, cinnamon, rich dark, milk and sweet chocolate syrup, pecans, raisins, coconut, vanilla, flan, oak, bourbon, coffee, whipped cream, Mexican vanilla crème filled sweet bread with vanilla cherry and chocolate pudding. The aftertaste leaves a sweet chocolate cherry trail with coconut, bourbon, vanilla and leche nestle (Mexican Sweetened Condensed Milk). No alcohol trace and no Boozy burn off of this one. I almost wanted to chew this beer as it truly is a dessert in a bottle. It is an extremely delicious world class beer. I know that Goose Island is an AB-InBev bought craft brewery but politics about beer aside, this is a new guy that stepped into the ranks of best beers in the world. I think I just liked this beer so much because it was so close to Grey Monday and Chocolate Rain it was not even funny. Just like the pictures above with Haruko, It will blow your mind!!!

This is perfect for going to a winery, night relaxing by the fire, or even just sipping on wine at home! This will forever be a must have for me!
We've been searching for a wine cooler that keeps our wine chilled for more than 30 minutes with out ice, this works perfectly and we don't have to worry about water drips! Will be giving as gifts from now on!
I love the flutes. I have several colors. They keep your drink nicely chilled for a long time. I like to make up a pitcher of Mimosas and just keep refilling the flute!! Give it a try!
These are wonderful flutes! I bought thes as gifts for a girls trip! Everyone loved them and each had a different color! 🍾🥂❣
How many times have you had someone spill their champagne flute? What a mess! With these, it's a lot less likely to happen! There's also a lid, so this helps with messes as well (and keeps the bubbles from hitting you in the face!). These also make great 'try me' glasses if you're making a cocktail and friends aren't sure they want a large glass, but want to try a little first. I wish they had the rubber bottoms to keep them more in-place though. I would definitely buy them again though!

LA CRETE, A.B. — Officials with Alberta's Mackenzie County say that the situation is improving as the county responds to a shortage of natural gas that occurred during extremely cold temperatures last week.
In a release this morning, officials said that pressure in the natural gas system continued to slowly improve last night, as roughly half of the supply is being provided by injection trucks. Officials said that it is anticipated to take several more days for the entire system to recover normal operating pressure and that the system will be in a fragile state until that time.
Residents and businesses are continuing to be asked to reduce natural gas consumption during the shortage.

(By Contributor Saad Ali): Going on vacation is an exciting time. You have worked hard to earn your vacation and you should enjoy this time as much as possible. That means doing whatever it takes to prevent problems from spoiling your vacation. Read this article for some good ideas on how you can minimize problems on your trip.
There is nothing worse than forgetting to bring your tickets or identification. Therefore, before you leave for your trip, make sure that you have all of your travel documents with you. Put them in a clearly visible place at home where you will not forget.
Make a list of the things that you want to pack. If you are bringing something that you will not need until the trip, pack those things early, and check them off your list. Packing early will allow you enough time to carefully think about what you really need, and it will give you a chance to buy the things that you do not have that you do need. Then, before you leave, check what you have packed again to make sure that you did not leave behind anything on your list.
Avoid packing things that you will probably not need. For instance, if there is very little chance of rain, do not pack any rain gear. This will only take up precious space in your suitcase. For bulky toiletry items, keep in mind that you can probably get most of them at your destination. As for clothes, pack clothes that are easy to care for and wrinkle resistant. Bring items that you can mix and match with each other to create different ensembles. You only need to bring two pairs of shoes: one pair of walking shoes and another pair of dressier casual shoes in a neutral color for those fancy dinners.
Air travel has a lot of restrictions these days. There are many types of items that you are not allowed to bring on board. Check the TSA regulations on their website for the latest updates to avoid any hassle at the security check point.
Avoid traveling alone. It is always safer to travel with a companion. It is also more entertaining.
Plan for your trip early so you can take advantage of good airfare and hotel deals. Try to stay a little flexible in your departure and arrival dates to get the best deal possible. Sometimes by altering those dates by a day can make a big difference in cost.
Remember that your vacation is a time for fun. Even though you may think that there is a ton of things to do to prepare for it, at the end, you will see that it is well worth it. Although there is always a chance that something will throw a wrench into your plans, like flight delays and cancellations, try to go with the flow. Remind yourself that things will work out at the end. Keep a positive outlook, and you will be able to have the time of your life.

Hey there,…..welcome back to TRB.com
Guys, I know the title of this post may seem deep and not fashion related…..but not to worry, you'll come across one or two style tips as you read and I'll try to keep my writing as concise as I can.
The good and bad things that life throws at us actually makes life beautiful and worth living. The title of this post focuses on the bad shits life throws at you(us) some times. When these bad things happen and doesn't kill you,how do you tackle it?
The saying,"what doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger" is attributed to the German philosopher Fredrick Nietzsche who said it more eloquently-'That which does not kill us, makes us stronger" . I decided to add a little twist to it by icluding WEAKER .
I decided to add that because I've noticed that when life throws bad shits on people, they let it negatively take over them, thus, making them WEAKER. Now guys, when you let yourself succumb to the devil's plan i.e becoming WEAKER, it only gets worse and finds its way to MAR you. I want you to know that bad shits do not just happen for no reason…Guys, God allowed it happen. let me give you a quick example with myself: the day I had this shoot,i put on this dress and to my greatest surprise,i had outgrown it(the bust area). To be honest,my mood went from 100-0 real quick,i was sad at the same time and almost cancelled the shoot but on a second thought,i said to myself that the shoot must hold regardless..shortly after i sat down thinking of an alternative,i spotted this white sleevless top in my wardrobe and decided to try something new which was wearing the dress over the top.
with regards to the example i just gave, i almost let that little challenge make me weaker but hey, I shamed the devil by getting stronger (adding a little twist that became an unpalnned vibe). So you see guys, every disappointment is indeed a blessing.
When life throws bad shit to you, remember these;
Tip of the day!
I really hope you find this post useful and motivational enough guys…
When life throws bad shit to you,what does it make you?….stronger or weaker.
Please kindly leave a reply in the comment section or send a direct message via any of my social media platform if you want it confidential..let's connect ! m

Cubs from Oxford Spires met together at Horspath Athletics Track on a very hot and sunny Sunday, for the third Oxford Spires District Cub Sports Day. More than 80 Cubs from ten different Packs took part in the event (11 from Jacala) which earned them all their Athletics badge.
The Cubs were given a worksheet to complete in advance, to make sure that they understood how to stay safe during athletics events and knew the right sort of clothing to wear. As they arrived at Horspath they were split into eight teams (with a mix of Packs in each) and given a number to wear.
We began the day with a warm up, before making a start on the eight different athletics events: all of the Cubs completed the following bases:
50m races: sprinting* and skipping*
25m fun races: egg and spoon, three-legged, sack race, bean bag balance
High jump*
Long jump*
Shuttle runs*
1,000m run* and Sergeant jump*
Team Assault Course
Throwing: cricket ball*, football, javelin and discus
As well as earning their Athletics badge by participating in the day, they were also earning points from the starred events, which went towards their Athletics plus badge. These scores were recorded throughout the day and gold, silver and bronze medals were awarded for each event. In addition medals were awarded for the best team in the team assault course.
The day ended with a presentation ceremony, celebrating the achievements of all of the Cubs and taking the chance to say a huge thank you to all of the adults who gave up their time to make the event a success. We were proud to see individual medals going to Joe Campbell and Jack Stone. A special mention also went to Joe Campbell who scored 23 points, just one point off the maximum available.
We're looking forward to returning to Horspath in two years for a repeat of this very enjoyable day.

By now, likely everyone reading this already knows that is the 30th Anniversary of the Air Jordan 3. Jordan Brand's running shoe, the Zoom Tenacity 88, resembles the Air Jordan 3 to a greater extent, even having borrowed its signature elephant print overlays. Hence, it was not surprising that Jordan Brand to drop the Zoom Tenacity 88 back in mid-March in two very popular OG colorways of the Air Jordan 3, the "Black/Cement" and "True Blue." The Jordan Zoom Tenacity 88 is set to join upcoming Air Jordan releases 2018 too, in an OG colorway of another sneaker that was designed by Tinker Hatfield back in 1987.
In case you have not figured it out already, the "88" is a reference to the year in which the Air Jordan 3 debuted. Both the Jordan Zoom Tenacity 88 "Black/Cement" and "True Blue" became available at Nike.com on March 14th, 2018 at a price of $125. During Justin Timberlake's "Legends Of The Summer" tour back in 2013, he received three special Air Jordan PE iterations from Jordan Brand, all of which were dressed up completely in Red. During his more recent, "Man Of The Woods" tour, when Justin Timberlake performed in Chicago, he was spotted laced up in an all-Red colorway of the Jordan Zoom Tenacity 88.
Instead of a previous Air Jordan 3 colorway, the Jordan Zoom Tenacity 88 featured here has actually borrowed the original colorway of the Nike Air Safari. In fact, it could almost be mistaken for the Air Safari, considering that the elephant print on the overlays has been replaced with the signature safari print. It is also dressed up in the same Black, Clay Orange and White color scheme. The "Jumpman" logo can be spotted on both the heels and the tongues, while the "AIR" branding usually seen on the heels seems to have been replaced with "RUN," signifying that it is a running shoe.
Currently, there is not much confirmed and/or official release information available about this sneaker, other than the fact that it will be joining upcoming Air Jordan releases 2018 very soon. It is being reported though that this Jordan Zoom Tenacity 88 "Clay Orange/Clay Orange-Black-Tan/Beige" will make its retail debut on Nike.com and at specific overseas retailers.

Heather Locklear's former Melrose Place co-stars Josie Bissett and Jack Wagner are really worried about her. As fans probably remember, the three of them starred together in the TV show back in the 1990s but also in the reboot in 2009.
But Heather's relationship with one of her fellow actors, Wagner, was not just professional as the two were even engaged for a bit in 2011.
'[It's] just sad. You know, it's just heartbreaking. We just pray for her and hope she gets through this time,' Bissett told ET.
Wagner seems to feel the exact same way: 'I just will stand by what I have said for a while, and that is that we all have our struggles. We all do, and some of us handle them in different ways. We either really work at getting well, you know, and it's just about when you make that decision to do it.'
Heather Locklear, who has struggled with addiction problems quite a lot and has been in and out of rehabs for years finally seemed to sober up.
However, it looks like it was just the calm before the storm because not too long ago, she ended up in the hospital after threatening to 'kill herself' and acting 'erratically' in a way that scared her loved ones she might actually hurt herself or someone around her.
'I love Heather, and I know Josie feels the same way, so nothing but loving thoughts and prayers for her and her family and her daughter, Ava,' Wagner mentioned before adding that only 'time will tell' if she'll manage to get through this tough time.

F Eladrin, Former Prisoner of the Drow Freed by Roqfurt and Kane
Average height for an elf and lithe of build Serranas has long platinum blond hair down her back with long pointy ears that occasionally quiver in response to her environment. She has dark blue eyes that seem to sparkle with their own blue glow. Her skin is palely beautiful and she has a soft face like many elves she seems inhumanely graceful.
She was found wearing a gold and midnight blue almost purple raiment made of stylized gold plates and a formfitting undersuit. The outfit seems more appropriate for court but seems to function for field craft.
Roqfurt found the Eladrin woman encased in quintessence a timeless substance effective for preserving or immobilizing objects from the ravages of time and had helping rescuing her with Kane's Dispel Magic invocation. They lead the woman out of the castle by showing her the window then she made the leap sixty feet to the ground brazenly and nailing the landing without injury.
She traveled with the group of survivors from the airship crash out of the Underdark but slipped away from the party in the night after the events of the of the Orc attack two nights later on the surface.
Roqfurt seemed to recognize from her childhood but she seemed uneasy around the artifact in Malachai's possession.

MARK Muller takes a second peek inside the diaries of Evelyn Brass.
At the end of last week's piece, we heard how Evelyn's husband John made it to Greece after being 'hounded out of Romania by the Nazis'.
At that time, Greece was experiencing a catastrophic invasion by the Germans and Italians, which resulted in another crisis evacuation of fifty thousand British and Commonwealth troops in April 1941, similar to Dunkirk.
At the last minute the staff of the 'Greek Legation' commandeered a yacht named Calanthe, and with Commander Brass in command headed for Crete.
Also on board, Evelyn tells us, was Peter Fleming, adventurer, writer and brother of Ian Fleming.
Not far out, they were caught by two German Messerschmitts which attacked, strafed and blew up the yacht killing nine of those on board. Wounded and badly shell shocked, Commander Brass was rescued and initially taken to Crete.
When that island fell too, he was evacuated from there to Egypt and eventually shipped back to the UK.
"He came home a wreck," says Evelyn, "and it was touch and go whether he would be able to hold down even a shore job."
At this point, with a husband on the point of being invalided out of the services and two young children, Evelyn tells us that she decided to enlist into the ATS (Auxiliary Training Service for women).
This was partly to ensure an income for the family (women were paid two thirds of male salaries - considered by many (men) at the time to be scandalous... but not for the same reason as we might consider it scandalous today) and partly because she describes herself as having been, "useless 'til then".
With the children having been sent to a nursery school in Brighton "to be near their grandmother", Evelyn immersed herself in taking courses and training, and within five months was an officer and part of the War Office.
Commander Brass had meanwhile recovered sufficiently to have been given a post as Training Commander at Malvern before being posted to the Admiralty as an assistant to the Director of Naval Personnel.
Evelyn was selected for a staff appointment and, "after many stringent courses had to rub brows with men and women of brain".
And then came the end of the war.
It is at this point that Commander Brass resumed his pre war position as a Fisheries Inspector, was posted to west Wales and the couple and their family came to Haroldston House in 1948.
"We have found an old house by an estuary in Haverfordwest," writes Evelyn, and accompanies the statement with photographs of views from the house captioned with the almost incredulous comment, "we see this from our windows".
There followed what seems to have been a happy series of years in Pembrokeshire where Evelyn and her husband were accepted into the social scene.
There is a photograph of her dancing at a fancy dress ball with Viscount St Davids in 1950.
She tells us in the diary that she learned to fly and began trying her hand at becoming an author.
Evelyn doesn't hesitate to reveal that her early work was rejected forthwith and even pastes rejection slips into the diary which she says seemed to come, "ad infinitum".
One from the BBC states, 'The British Broadcasting Company regrets that it is unable to make use of this work...' but in May 1951, Evelyn also proudly displays an acceptance slip from the BBC for a work of hers entitled Quite The Lady, which was broadcast on Morning Story in August of that year.
Early in the diary, Evelyn states that at the age of five, Anne, her daughter had been described by a friend as destined to become either a church worker, or a Duchess.
Anne Brass went to a finishing school in Belgium called the English Convent, in Bruges and in 1954 fulfilled her destiny by marrying Baron Holmpatrick, (a title that is part of the Irish peerage), a descendant of the Duke of Wellington.
Jacqui Lloyd Philipps, formerly of Llangwarren, currently resident in Bristol, was able to tell me that her first kiss aged about four, was with the son, named Hans, of Anne and the Baron.
Anne died in 1999.
And Evelyn? The diary suddenly ends at about the time that she and her husband John left Haroldston. Perhaps she continued in another volume. Evelyn died in 1991, and Commander Brass in April 1976.
I am grateful to Theo Whalley (and to Evelyn Brass/Roche) for loaning me the amazing document.
A friend of Theo's, Tina Webb, has traced the descendants of Evelyn and Anne, and Theo has offered to send them the diary.

CLI – If you have a file you want to compress, you have options as to how you will do it. The bzip2 command is one of the options that is open to you on a macOS system. Likewise, if you come across a previously compressed file with the .bz2 extension, you will want to use bzip2 to decompress it.
The description of bzip2 in the macOS man page is:
bzip2 compresses files using the Burrows-Wheeler block sorting text compression algorithm, and Huffman coding. Compression is generally considerably better than that achieved by more conventional LZ77/LZ78-based compressors, and approaches the performance of the PPM family of statistical compressors.
To learn a lot more about how to use bzip2, take a look at "Linux bzip2 Command Tutorial for Beginners (6 Examples)". Yes, this is a Linux article, but the bzip2 command as implemented on macOS is fundamentally the same. Check the macOS man page for bzip2 for all of the available options.

Сугестопедия: как да разкрием резерви в процеса на чуждоезиковото обучение
Suggestopedia: How to Reveal the Potential of Learners in the Process of Foreign Language Teaching
Subject(s): Social Sciences, Language and Literature Studies, Education, Foreign languages learning, Applied Linguistics, Language acquisition, School education, Vocational Education, Adult Education, Higher Education , Educational Psychology, Philology, Inclusive Education / Inclusion
Published by: Национално издателство за образование и наука "Аз-буки"
Keywords: suggestopedia; holistic education; love; freedom; prestige; suggestopedic methods of teaching; communicative teaching; suggestopedic reserve complex
Summary/Abstract: In a previous publication we discussed the basic concepts and principles of suggestopedia from the point of view of a holistic approach to personality and the process of foreign language teaching and learning. The present article enriches the theoretical review by adding the three fundamental pillars formulated by Lozanov, namely love, freedom and prestige, and by interpreting them in a linguistic-pedagogical context. It also introduces the three groups of methods used in suggestopedia and the way they are closely related to the main principles. The interrelation of methods and principles results in the accelerated development of communicatively oriented language knowledge and skills which are manifested in the "suggestopedic reserve complex". Finally, the article discusses how the specific communicative and linguistic reserves in suggestopedia are complemented by the revealed psychological, psychological-physiological and social potential of learners which guarantees the unity of learning and personality development.

"They've been here before so they are kind of used to the routine," says Dave Schiller, field operations manager from London. "The city has had recreation going on here, indoor and outdoor, so that has been great for the kids. Also, for the adults we've had the store open every day, a couple of times a day, to meet any needs they have for food and supplies, et cetera.".
A further problem with travel writing is that the descriptive portions of the texts are often only pieces of a larger whole. Our modern habit of excerpting, or taking out the "loveliest" portions of text leaves out the less than palatable portions. But they are also accounts which contain worrying narrations of relations between local women and foreign men visiting the island..
Annual fairs in Orange County, Los Angeles, and San Diego are drawing the crowds in with karaoke contests. These contests can give people a taste of what it's like to be on Star Search or American Idol, without being hounded by the paparazzi or ending up in the tabloids. A lot of today's popular music artists got their start singing karaoke..
Doctors David Tyler and Kurt Grady explore this further in their book, "Deceptive Diagnosis: When Sin is Called Sickness." Dr. Dr. Ed Bulkley comments from the forward of the book are most appropriate: "The church has a growing tendency to pathologize every form of spiritual discomfort.
Tom who? Fans who fear Blink will suck without singer guitarist Tom DeLonge might be surprised how seamlessly Alkaline Trio Matt Skiba slips into his Vans and into these pop punk firecrackers and arena rock anthems. But those hoping for some old school toilet humour may be bummed by their odes to sanity, sobriety and their SoCal homeland. An eye opener either way..
"That's when we're at our best when we're free flowing, when we're shooting early and often. That's when we see success," Paradine said last May. "The biggest transition is for us as coaches, to give that control up. A. Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission was brought by a baker who refused to make a cake for a same sex wedding on the grounds that same sex marriage is at odds with his religious beliefs.
The first Stetson hat looked a little like an oversized Indiana Jones hat with a seven inch brim and a six inch high crown. After moving back to his native Philadelphia, John began manufacturing these great hats. The Western Stetson quickly caught on and now the name is synonymous with quality and rugged individualism..
