Don't look up when having your photograph taken, it looks unnatural.When it comes to portraits, editorial portraits (and more recently with business portraits and headshots) there's a growing preference for looking away from the lens.The whole point of this is to make pictures look more natural and honest, candid photography is suddenly en-vogue with the corporate world as well as the editorial portrait environment.It's a load of old codswallop though right because it might look natural but it isn't. It's as staged as any of the shoots looking at the lens. Less natural if you think about it. At least when a person is looking at the lens they're not pretending to do the opposite of what they are doing – posing.Any pictures you see of people looking away from the photographer are posed, staged setup. They might look like a natural moment that's been captured but they're taken in a studio or at a shoot location for goodness sake, of course they aren't natural.More often than not there is an element of 'natural moment' about it because when people are looking away from the lens they can be less self aware and self critical but let's be honest about this, it's just another pose. And if you are going to pose for a portrait, headshot or whatever kind of photograph, do it right.We all know how naff the middle distance stare can be. Nobody wants to look like they're about to appear in a littlewoods catalogue. The reason this looks false is when it's done without the relevant reaction. If someone is looking towards the middle distance they'll be looking at something so probably squinting a little or possibly gesturing.That's the trick get into character with your natural poses, which is why I don't think that looking up works. Looking down is so much more real. People don't often look up, looking down is a much more human posture so stick with it.Having said all this I do think that the picture above looking up is a nice shot but the one below where she's looking down is more natural.

You're now well versed on the basic concepts and terminologies of Forex, you know how important it is to think about your trading profile in order to create your trading plan, and you know how to better control your risk and enhance your profits.
Success in Forex trading is like success in any other kind of job or activity: it requires preparation, skills and an in-depth education. You need to remain motivated, dedicated and committed to keep learning in order to meet your goals.
As currency trading is mostly done via leveraged products, it is of vital importance that proper risk management and position size allocation processes are built into your trading strategy.
Most beginners don't really know the correct level of leverage they should use, so what invariably happens is that they often trade with too much, because they underestimate the associated risks. Over-leveraging very often leads to losing part of your trading capital, if not all of it.

Here are some sample snippets helpful for tweaking the functionality of the WooCommerce Memberships plugin.
If you're looking for more details on modifying Memberships or "For Developers" samples, please view our developer documentation.
Member Area ↑ Back to top
Remove Cancel action from My Memberships table ↑ Back to top
The actions in the "My Memberships" table can be removed if you don't want to allow your members to manage their own memberships. This snippet removes the "Cancel" action from the "My Memberships" table in the account area.
Note: Memberships automatically does this for you if a membership is tied to a subscription, forcing cancellation via the billing instead.
Remove End Date Column from My Memberships ↑ Back to top
Removes the "End Date" column from being displayed for all user memberships.
Remove Type Column from My Content Area ↑ Back to top
The "My Content" section of the Member Area will show the content type (Post, Page, Project, Forum, etc) as this paginated section shows all accessible content (posts, pages, custom post types) on the site. This snippet removes the "Type" column if its display isn't needed.
Remove Description Column from My Products Area ↑ Back to top
The paginated "My Products" section of the Member Area will show all accessible products for the member (those the plan grants viewing / purchasing for). This snippet removes the "Description" / Excerpt column if its display isn't needed.
Blog & Posts ↑ Back to top
Show Lock Icon on Restricted Posts ↑ Back to top
This snippet requires your site to have loaded FontAwesome already, as it uses the FontAwesome lock icon. It will show a lock next to the title of any post the member does not have access to yet, or any restricted posts for non-members.
Shop Pages ↑ Back to top
Remove Member Discount Badges ↑ Back to top
The member discount badge's HTML is filterable, and therefore it can be removed completely using this snippet:
add_filter( 'wc_memberships_member_discount_badge', '__return_empty_string' );
Disable Discount Stacking ↑ Back to top
By default, Memberships will assume that members should always have all benefits of a membership plan. However, this could potentially result in a member receiving 2 discounts or more on a product if the member has multiple plans with discounts.
If you want to disable this behavior, Memberships can instead choose the best discount only instead of stacking discounts — add this snippet to do so:
add_filter( 'wc_memberships_allow_cumulative_member_discounts', '__return_false' );
Integrations ↑ Back to top
Add Social Login Buttons to Restriction Messages ↑ Back to top
You can add WooCommerce Social Login buttons into the "content restricted" notices to make it easier for members with a linked account to log in.
We do have this on our Memberships / Social Login roadmaps to add support for. Until this happens within the plugins themselves, you could add this code snippet to show login buttons in content restriction notices.
Other Snippets ↑ Back to top
Grant Access only from Completed Orders ↑ Back to top
By default, Memberships grants access to customers for any processing or completed order on your site since these represent paid orders. If you'd like access to only be granted when an order is 'completed', but not while it's 'processing', you can use this snippet:
If you want to add statuses (such as custom statuses) that grant access, our developer documentation can help.
Create My Memberships Shortcode ↑ Back to top
If you want to output the "My Memberships" table outside of the "My Account" area, you can create a shortcode to do so. Please have a look at this snippet.
More Snippets ↑ Back to top
We keep a collection of team snippets for our plugins in this repository. However, the same policy applies — we cannot support these snippets, assist with implementation, or assist with further customizations.

The Franciscan order was born in 1209; it was confirmed by the Pope Onorio 3rd in 1223. In a few decades it spread prodigiously all over Europe and all over the districts of Italy.
In 1230, in the general Chapter, the Franciscan Abruzzo became a self-governing province, taking on the name of Province of Penne. The Friars arrived in Lanciano in the 1240s 1250s and they were liking welcome. They were guests of the archpriest. They were living in a precarious way and cooperated humbly with the clergy of the town.
They wanted to settle in Lanciano and they made a proposal to the archpriest: they would like to build a church by their own. Their purpose was to devote it to Saint Francesco and to set up a chapel, in order to keep the very precious Eucharist Treasure of the Holy Relics. They wanted to pay omage to the instructions of the church, contained in a letter written by Saint Francesco and addressed to every clergyman: "Wherever the Holy Body of our Lord Jesus Christ will be left without decorum or dignity, it will be removed, placed and kept in a precious place".
The archpriest was in favour of the new election of the bishop of Chieti, whose name was Landolfo Caracciolo, a great esteemer of the Minor Conventual Friars. He was writing a letter of concession of St. Legonzianos church, from Perugina. It was addressed to the friars of the poor man from Assisi, on the third of April, in 1252.
Later, in order not to revoke the gift, he asked and obtained the ratification by the Pope Innocenzo IV. The Pope, while giving his grateful approval to all that the bishop Landolfo had carefully granted, confirmed, "with the apostolic authority, the perpetual grant to the Minor Friars (on the 20th April 1252), by St. Legonzianos church".
Started in 1252 and finished in 1258, in a Gothic style, this church was built in a "higher, adjacent area" to the one of St. Legonziano. The church is one of the first convents born in Abruzzo. The rectangular façade has got some square stones and its a wonderful example of the simple and solemn architecture, typical of the French Borgogna origins.
The upper part of the façade has been rebuilt, owing to a bad earthquake, in the first half of the eighteenth century. They used some stones coming from different countries and some materials taken from St. Angelos chapel (it was said of the Lombardis), which was inside the church.
The works, carried out in order to adapt the sanctuary to the aesthetic canons of the baroque style, were finished in the period between 1730 and 1745. They have given us the present appearance, as a big, tall single room. Nowadays, you can just see two altars of the six lateral ones, which there were in the past, near the presbytery.
In the second half of the eighteenth century, the decoration of the vaults was entrusted to a painter, Teodoro Donato. The choir organ and a wonderful wooden pulpit , are inspired by the precious arts and by the scenes, them too. They were given by the Pope Clemente XIV to the Sanctuary. They were made by Modesto Salvini, from Orsogna.
Through the works of restoration carried out for the great Jubilee in 2000, the old appearance of the church, typical of the eighteenth century, was given back to it.
By keeping their sight on the left side, people who enter can meet the ca nvas devoted to the Virgin Mary of Graces, to St. Antonio from Padova and to the Virgin Mary of the Rosary.
On the vault of the aisle, you can admire some chromium-plated scenes, devoted to some biblical heroines, such as Judith, Esther and Rachel. They were painted by Donato Teodoro from Chieti. A venerable big wooden Crucifix of the eighteenth century is also well known.
The marble monument, which surrounds the very precious Relics, gripping them just like in a soft hug, was inaugurated on the 4th of October, in 1902. The masterpiece, carried out by Angelo Rocca from Carrara, made on commission of the engineer Filippo Sergiacomo, was reconstructed, lightened and lowered, in order to allow an easier entry to the Eucharist Miracle. The two statues, on the two sides, depicting the faith and the charity, have been made by Giovanni Scrivo from Naples (1904).
The two reliquaries are a goblet (it dates back to the seventeenth century) and an artistic silver monstrance, made by some artists from Naples (1713).
The monstrance, subsidized by Domenico Coli from Norcia, is a true jewel in its genre. Two angels are depicted on it: they are kneeling, as in a devout prayer. Each angel has got a flying about ribbon on his hand, where you can read the following Latin words:: Tantum ergo sacramentum veremur cernui.
If you enter by the central portal, in the middle of the nave, towards your left, you can find the Chapel of the Reconciliation. It was built, adapted, turned into that, thanks to the restorations of the Jubilee, from the old rooms of the Chapel of the Rosary.
If you look at it carefully, you can discover some essential signs as a recall to celebrate, with faith and devotion, the sacrament of penance.
The horizontal beam, which crosses the space and penetrates into the four confessionals, represents the wood to which we have to hang up our crosses, that is our pains.
The superior way has got the shape of a gallery and it indicates the way to penitents towards the cross. The stairs are an ascetic invitation to get on the peak of the Christian perfection.
The ambo is the place where the Words of God are proclaimed and it recalls penitents to conversion. The confessionals are the places where people can free themselves from their sins, entrusting in Lord, by means of the sacrament of Confession, administered by a priest.
The blue vault invites us to lift our sight towards the infinite. It refers to eternity, the reign of God that each penitent, after his / her reconciliation, wants to reach. The place is peaceful; furniture and colours are well attuned and it invites people to repenting, to the contemplation and prayer.
At the bottom of the Chapel of Reconciliation, on the top, there is the Custody of the Eucharist and Adoration, where the true Holy Sacrament is exhibited, on Advent time, during the Lent and in lots of other circumstances.
This place has got a very great importance as the Miracle has been kept here until 1636. When the Minor Conventual Friars arrived (1252), they wanted to build a new temple on the parish youth club of St. Legonziano (where the Miracle occurred). The Relics were carried and kept in the new church, in a chapel whose showy single of those times is still visible nowadays.
The place, corresponding to the base of the bell tower, was perhaps chosen for obtaining protection. In fact, as if we were in a fortress, the purpose was to save the Miracle from the raids of the Turks, who bossed around on the beaches of the Adriatic Sea. Therefore, the Miracle was walled in this chapel for a while.
By observing carefully the ancient Custody of the Miracle (1636)), already put into the Chapel of Valsecca, in the seventeenth century, you can notice the importance of the Miracle. In its simplicity and austerity, expressed through the grating, you can appreciate the church which is very attentive to protect the precious Eucharist Treasure.
The Custody, that is a Tabernacle at the present time, and which keeps the Holy Sacrament in its small architecture and with its nice colours, has woken up admiration and a deep worship among the faithful visitors, with the passing of time.
The excavations, made under the area of the church of St. Francesco, have allowed to locate the plant of the original church of the Miracle just in this area. Close to a Roman wall, a very precious apse of Lacerta was found (sixth and seventh centuries). It was recognized as the original system of the church of St. Legonziano.
The total plant of the holy building presented an opposite guidance to the present one and should be about seventeen metres long, nine metres wide and probably articulating in three naves.
By the mysterious depths of the time, some modest (but precious for us) ruins of the high Medieval church, of the Saints Legonziano and Domiziano, have resurfaced. They testified and confirmed an uninterrupted oral tradition: in that place an event occurred, in the eighth century. It had left some signs. It is still admired with emotion and worshipped with ecstatic fervor. On those apse stones, we could write down, with the joy of an unexpected discovery: Here the faith suffered a failure and the Mystery was revealed (by Enzio DAntonio, an archbishop).
The discovery of a fresco, depicting the Crucifixion, also deserves mention. It dates back to the end of the thirteenth century and the beginning of the fourteenth century. It is a not well kept fresco, but it is one of the most evocative testimonies of this Medieval Sanctuary.
In order to have a whole sight of the Sanctuary, its better to give you some hints at the Bell Tower, the oldest tower of the town.
If you watch it carefully, you can realize that the construction took place in three different times.
Certainly the first part dates back to the period before 1204, that is before the coming of the Franciscans. When the church of St. Francesco was built (1252 1258) it was carried up to the second floor. When in the eighteenth century, there was the passage of the church from the Gothic style to the Baroque one, the bell tower overlooked with a dome and a lantern, covered with majolica tiles.
Thanks to its position in the Curtis anteana, near the palace of the Governor, the Bell Tower has also had the function of a civic tower.
It is thirty one metres high.
Between 1730 1745, the church of St. Francesco was rebuilt and changed into the baroque style, owing to a strong earthquake. Next to the church the present Convent was built with a cloister. It became a centre of spirituality and philosophical, theological studies. All that explains why this construction is so majestic and wide. In fact, after two suppressions (in 1809 and in 1866), it was officially given back to the Minor Conventual Friars, in 1953.In the
cloister you can still see the well and a part of the floor made by some fragments of cocciopesto, a material of the Roman epoch. You can also watch some remains of some ancient frescos.

Master Ivor (pronounced EYE-vohr) is a Mithran priest who teaches mathematics to the pages at the royal palace.
Ivor seemed to like Keladry of Mindelan, the first openly girl page, as he did not humiliate her as other teachers would have when she had really messed up her mathematics classwork. He simply left a note for her to redo it with the next assignment, and that he could not believe it was her work.[1]

Will you guys leave The Dung Beetle alone, so he can make that video of the phone conversations he had with other T U chapters who want him in their chapter. From the sounds of his popularity streamside, he must have had the phone ringing off the hook. I'll bet those other membership chairmen are fighting in line to get him signed up. What an ass. I mean asset.

Re: Access to this site. Banned???
Now if I were having that conversation(that is if I actually talked to someone on the river while fishing) I woulda tried to be light on the specifics.
" Are you catching any fish today?"
That'd usually end it right there.
But if I'd a momentary lapse and actually said:
"Why yes, I have gotten a couple.."
And he followed with:
Oh, what did you get them on?
I woulda countered with:
"THIS" and just showed him.
BUT if I had another lapse and said:
"This great fly I saw on a web-site.."
and he countered with:
"What web-site?"
I woulda hit him with:
"I forget" (OR Garden State Trout(because no serious fly guys go there anyway- and that woulda thrown him off)).
Of course, there is another way to go, and that is to pull a Manson.
The second he opened with "Are you catching any fish today?", I'd hit 'im with:
" I DON'T talk about MY FLY FISHIN'"
It's a tough one to pull off... wild eyes, scruffy beard, don't change your clothes for a few days, etc., but the "Manson" technique has been used successfully for years on the Beaverkill...
In SHORT, do whatever possible to NOT bring up N.E.F.F... (sorry, Debacle, nothin' personal)

text: The PRWIRE Press Releases https:// 2018-07-19T02:04:45Z Add a Teaspoon of Diversity and Stir 2018-07-19T02:04:45Z add-a-teaspoon-of-diversity-and-stir-1 It's thought-provoking that cultural diversity is a hot topic in board meetings and that there are teams within companies whose job it is to increase the workplace numbers of women, people with indigenous backgrounds or those from other cultures. It may seem to some that we celebrate cultural diversity, but is this just a political agenda? Or are we a society that really believes in and embraces equality in the workplace? Why do some companies need diversity KPI's? Is it a performance issue and companies struggle to find people of colour or women with the same skill sets as men? The diversity issue can't be solved with anecdotal solutions that tend to increase awareness from time to time, like a hit of caffeine. For managers, leaders and HR professionals, it should always be at the forefront of one's mind and it starts with changing company culture with a top-down approach. But don't get me wrong, it makes little sense to "get the diversity balance right" just to satisfy the numbers. You need to get it right because there is value in having a diverse workforce. To appoint a person to a position (or promote them) simply because they balance the demographic books by virtue of race or gender or any other criterion is a false value system that is condescending and bordering on being insulting. Use the person best suited to the job – for their sake as much as the company's. Give the contract to the person who best matches the job description. Better still: create opportunities where natural motivation and inclination (diversity) can flourish. From my own experience, I can tell you that being a company's pin-up girl showed me the other side of diversity. Being promoted, beyond my capability at the time, had a detrimental effect not only on my career but also on my personal growth. A toxic work environment coupled with unrealistic work pressures quickly led to burnout and attempted suicide. In a recent survey of conference attendants, 47% confirmed they had experienced some sort of harassment during the course for their career; 13 % said yes but didn't report it, and 19% of the audience said maybe, but I am not sure. Creating a diverse workplace is a noble act but unless we tackle the ugly side of it and really delve deep into the issues that create a contaminated workplace, it will all have been in vain and will have had the reverse effect. With the current infrastructure boom and the influx of new people joining the rail and construction industry, you need to make sure your onboarding systems are aligned and you have a framework in place that will set them up for success. The alternative will be a diverse workforce with a poor mental state, which ultimately leads to a high attrition rate. Diversity is not a numbers game and while we support the notion that we should treat people like humans and not 'Key Performance Indicators', a formal education and mentorship framework is what's missing, so what are organisations going to do to improve diversity and sustainability in their workforce? If you are considering a career change or genuinely interested in the opportunity to train as a safety professional, or work in the rail and infrastructure industry, then Alium Works would love to hear from you. Alium Works provides specialised training and mentoring for mothers returning to work. We work with major industry and leading companies day to day, enabling us to promote an equal opportunity for those who have a desire to develop their career. Visit us at aliumworks.com.au

Email from a friend:
"Dear friends,
...to share with you the message from Reality of Being that I mentioned... which beautifully expresses what I've sometimes tried to communicate about body consciousness.
"We can know God only through sensation. Pure sensation is the name of God—pure, burning sensation. The body is the instrument for experiencing this." (p. 226.)
Love to all,"
My own notes:
I agree to some extent... but we can know God through more than sensation, within context.
We know God according to the level of our inner development, which proceeds according to the law of octaves. This has been well-known to esoteric science for many centuries: take a look at the passages below from Ibn al Arabi ( who specifically refers to all the subordinate octaves if you understand his passage) and Swedenborg.
The six Realms, or stages of regeneration, referred to here are the notes re, mi, fa, sol, la, si, which all belong to the "realm" of the multiplications – which gives birth to the "realms within realms" referred to by Ibn al Arabi. That is, in essence, Eckhart's world of creation. (Eckhart is another matter entirely because he brought an intuitive Christianity which seeks to leap past everything in a complete abandonment — which requires a kind of spiritual genius not really available to us.)
The six notes have specific lawful meanings—not all of which relate to the receiving of sensation, although that is indeed essential. Sensation, as mme. describes it is actually an initial stage. (While some may not be particularly interested in the iterations of "powers" that Ibn al Arabi describes in Journey to the Lord of Power, the book is quite extraordinary and well worth reading, brief as it is.)
In any event, we are "infused," according to the note that currently predominates in us (we change constantly), by re- materiality, mi- desire (emotion) fa- power, sol- Being, la- purification, or si- wisdom. Salzmann would have call these the "influences" which affect us; an essential part of the Gurdjieff practice is learning how to identify inner and outer influences and properly discriminate between them. Emmanuel Swedenborg would have completely understood why this is necessary; a solid reading of his Secrets of Heaven will explain much of the reason for it. Where Gurdjieff gave us the how, Swedenborg gave the why.
These six realms exist in a hierarchy but blend according to the multiplications. Sensation is but one of the six properties necessary to fully experience Being in its multiple aspects. ( Having said that, I need to advise readers that it is actually at the same time both much more complicated—and more simple, by exactly half—but we will start there and you can think about it for yourself.)
Sensation is what gives birth to Being; but after that, suffering (the higher level of feeling, which exists as desire on the right-hand side of the enneagram at the note mi) and wisdom, which is higher intellect at the note si, are also absolutely necessary... so we need to know God not just through sensation, but also through suffering and wisdom. There is a great danger in subsuming oneself in the annihilation of God as described in the above from the Reality of Being, and al Arabi explains it in Journey to the Lords of Power. It's entirely possible that Jeanne Salzmann knew this; but if she did, it's not explained in the context of this quote, which amply reveals one pitfall of cherry picking people's personal journals and publishing them as spiritual instruction.
There are two separate three-centered "knowings of God" of this kind: on both the natural (right-hand) and spiritual (left-hand) side of the enneagram.
The third three centered knowing of God — the reconciling three centered knowing — belongs to the law of three, not the right or left hand side of the diagram.
These divisions do not exactly correspond to Swedenborg's description of spiritual and heavenly man, which are two different things. But we could roughly say that for those on the path, the spiritual side actually relates to the right hand side of the diagram, and the heavenly one to the left-hand side. Arabi would have described it differently, because when all the religions separated ( at the time the Tower of Babel was collapsed) the religions lost the ability to speak each other's languages. You and I live in that realm; but all the religions are one and all the practices are actually the same.
Note that the shocks and the absolute (the places occupied by the law of three on the diagram) all belong to God and cannot be "used" by human beings — they come from a higher level, and we can only express them.
There is an important correlation between Buddhist practice and Swedenborg's explanation that all motive force and action actually comes from God and that freedom actually means freedom from our perception of self (Buddhism's death of the ego) which opens us so that only the action of God alone flows through us, and we abandon all false perceptions of our own agency.
Of course the subject is much more complicated than that, but if you read Sufi Islam, Eckhart, Gurdjieff, Swedenborg, and Buddhism and understand the way that they connect with one another, you'll see that they are all actually a single practice and that the enneagram illustrates all of them perfectly — illustrates, that is, the underlying principle. Each one of the practices contains an important fragment of the complete understanding, and none of them contradict one another.
I must first make clear to you the knowledge of the matrices of Realms, and what those Realms imply in this place. The.Realms (mowotin) is a term for the substrata of the moments in
which things come to exist and experience actually occurs. It is necessary that you know what the Truth wants from you in any Realm, so that you hasten to it without hesitation and
without resistance.'
The Realms, although they are many, are all derived from six.
The first Realm is [the pre-existence in which we were asked the question] "Am I not your Lord?" Our physical existence has removed us from this Realm. The second Realm
is the world we are now in.
The third Realm is the Interval through which we travel after the lesser and greater deaths.
The fourth Realm is the Resurrection on the awakening earth and the return to the original condition.
The fifth Realm is the Garden and the Fire.
The sixth Realm is the Sand Dune outside the Garden.
And in each of these Realms are places which are Realms within Realms, and the realization of them in their multiplicity is not within human power.
—Ibn al Arabi, Journey to the Lords of Power
The periods and stages of our regeneration—both the whole process and individual cycles within it—divide into six, and these six are called our days of creation. Step by step we advance from being nonhuman to being somewhat human, though only a little, then more and more so up to the sixth day, when we become [God's] image…All the while the Lord is constantly fighting on our behalf against evil and falsity and through these battles strengthens us in truth and goodness.
The time of conflict is when the Lord is at work, and he does not rest until love takes the lead. Then the conflict ends. When the work progresses so far that faith is united with love, it is called very good, since the Lord now makes us likenesses of himself. At the end of the sixth day, evil spirits retreat and good ones take their place. We are led into heaven, or the Paradise of heaven…
—Emmanuel Swedenborg, Secrets of Heaven

Elliott Melvin Brown and Charlie Walker Jr. are headed into an April 17 runoff to represent District 7 on the Richmond County Board of Education after neither garnered the majority needed to win Tuesday night.
According to results not yet certified by the Richmond County Board of Elections, Walker was the top finisher with 366 votes, or 36.4 percent, to Brown's 274 votes, or 27.2 percent.
Walker, a furnishings sales manager, said he anticipated a runoff but was pleased with the results Tuesday.
"I'm glad to see that the folks who were willing to come out and vote did, and hope those folks will come back and vote again," he said. "It appears that both myself and Melvin will be the ones that shoot for it in the runoff, and I wish him well."
Brown, a postal trainer and combat veteran, was disappointed with voter turnout, which was less than 7 percent, but pleased to head into a runoff.
"I'm blown away, but I'm proud to still have the opportunity to serve District 7," Brown said.
Coming in third was Annette Turabi, who garnered 25 percent of the vote, while Sarah Bobrow Williams placed fourth with 12 percent.
The runoff winner will serve what will be just eight months of former board member Frank Dolan's term, and will appear on the Nov. 6 general election ballot as the incumbent if he chooses to run for a full, four-year term.
The 10-member board continues to grapple with declining state revenues and how to address several schools eligible for state intervention because of low test scores.
At one of the mostly empty polling places, voter Danielle Perdue said she knew little about the candidates ahead of Tuesday's special election but had received information from Brown in the mail, so she voted for him. Perdue said she will return to the polls April 17 for the runoff.
"I want what's good for the community because Augusta is growing," Perdue said. "I would definitely vote (again) and in the meantime, I can do some research on the candidates and see how they come out on the issues."
Voter Jaime Sutton, a mother of five in public schools, connected with Turabi, a mother of six educated in the same system.
"We've had so many issues with the schools," Sutton said after casting a ballot with two young daughters in tow. "They've all got good drive, but Annette would see it all the way to the end and not let any of the politics get to her."
A theme of Walker's campaign was listening, not talking. It's a motto he's patterned his sales career on and would apply as a school board trustee, he said.
"One of the great things I've learned is if you don't listen to somebody and go in thinking you know what needs to be done, you stand a very good chance of losing out – on a sale, or on connecting with that individual – and not having another chance," he said.
Blythe elects Stewart mayor
A political newcomer has been elected mayor of Blythe.
In Tuesday's special election to replace former Mayor Tom Cobb, mechanic Phillip Stewart bested former Blythe Councilwoman Cindy Parham with 51.7 percent of votes to Parham's 48.3 percent.
Turnout was a healthy 27.8 percent in the small municipality, with 118 of Blythe's 425 registered voters casting ballots, according to results from the Richmond County Board of Elections.

The ABC's Rebecca Heap to look for new challenges
Rebecca Heap.
As the ABC's head of distribution, entertainment and specialist, Rebecca Heap is a key player in the broadcaster's revamped management structure – so why is she leaving?
The highly-regarded executive insists she is not moving immediately to a new role but has decided it's time to move on after four years with the ABC.
Heap leaves at the end of this week but will be available for the rest of her notice period. The ABC will appoint someone to act in her position and is expected to soon start the process to find a successor.
"I have loved my time at the ABC but it's time to look for new things," she tells IF. "There are a few things bubbling but I am not jumping into something straight away."
Formerly the head of head of programming and digital, responsible for TV channels ABC, ABC Kids, ABC ME and ABC Comedy plus ABC iview and children's digital products, her remit expanded when she took her current role in February.
She has overseen the distribution of all TV and radio networks except local, iview, ABC Listen and third-party platforms, and has been instrumental in effecting the ABC's transition to a more digitally-focused future.
She has championed numerous digital-first projects and says she is most proud of You Can't Ask That, an in-house created show which asks misunderstood or marginalised Australians awkward, inappropriate or uncomfortable questions.
ABC director of entertainment and specialist David Anderson said: "Bec has been a strong advocate for expanding our digital rights and for digital first commissioning as a mechanism to drive new audiences and develop fresh Australian stories and talent. Working closely with the content teams, this has delivered outstanding results in iview original programs such as You Can't Ask That and The Katering Show.
"Most importantly Bec is a passionate leader who has fostered a highly talented and engaged team, focused on delivering the best audience experience for ABC content across platforms."
In turn, Heap thanked Anderson and her content team colleagues for the "amazing opportunity" to manage ABC's programming and digital products.

Let the Bubbles Free with Soda Stream
Did you know that Americans drink over 40 gallons of fizzy drinks per capita each year, and we spend about $40B annually on packaged soda (stat from Soda Stream)? Since our love affair with fizz isn't going away anytime soon, we are excited to embrace it by enjoying a more convenient and environmentally friendly way by making your own seltzer and soda water at home with Soda Stream (check out our past review).
How the device works is really simple. You simply fill an attached carbonating bottle with water and then attach it to the Soda Stream and press what type of carbonation that you want via its 3-level LED carbonation indicator. The kids really love this part as they hear the water start to bubble and finish within minutes. I tested out the Source model, a really cool and sleek model that was designed by Yves Béhar. Available in white, red, black and blue, this model includes an easy-to-use snap-lock bottle mechanism, a sodamix taste sampler and a lifetime warranty should anything happen. Other models in the Soda Stream line include the Fountain Jet, Genesis, Dynamo Deluxe and much more for fast and easy soda-making fun!
Another bonus of the Soda Stream is that it helps to promote less water since you aren't buying those plastic bottles (check out the demo below on exactly how they do that). It also allows you to get creative by adding your own flavors to your drinks with their SodaStream sodamix. This includes varieties like Root Bear, Apple, Lemonade, Green Tea and much more. This can also be a great idea for entertaining for both non-alcoholic and alcoholic drink options.

The Xbox One version of the game was the lowest selling.
The Witcher series, now ten years old, has sold 33 million units worldwide, CD Projekt RED confirmed in its financial report for 2017. Given that the franchise started as a niche, PC exclusive low budget RPG, this end result is staggering.
Most of the sales obviously come from the seminal The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which launched on PS4, Xbox One, and PC in 2015. We got a breakdown of sales for that game as well, with CD Projekt RED confirming that the PC version of the game is the highest selling one, followed by the PS4 version, and finally, the Xbox One version having sold the least (which is interesting, because Microsoft had the marketing rights for the game). Interestingly enough, the PS4 version actually outsold the PC version of the game in 2015, though the PC version more than made up for that in the next two years.
Given just how fantastic a game it is, The Witcher 3 has had a long tail, and will probably continue selling for a long time to come.

Manly Brothers 2019 Under 8
- ANGELO Marley
- GLASS Ned
- HURLEY Ryan
- MORELLO Darcy
- NABLE Owen
- RAINEY Blake
- SWANSON Mitchell
- WEST Callan
- WILLIAMS Xavier
2018 Under 7 Coach's Report
The new season saw the return of our core group of seasoned graduates from the 6s and the welcome addition of Blake and Ryan. The big question for coaching staff and players was how big a leap it would be to the 7s. Mark and I got caught by surprise early in the season with the strict enforcement of the no chance rule. In the first two rounds the boys defended grimly on the back of lost balls, off loads going astray and forward passes.
We quickly realised that we would have to ramp up the technical intensity at training focusing on core skill development and simulated game day drills. The rate of improvement reflects how hard we worked at training. Scoring points was never an issue as we cashed in on blinding speed, footwork, powerful running and off loads. The boys have gained a lot of confidence with their defensive skills.
Our team
Marley Angelo (The Evader) continued his passion for the fend from the 6s with some serious don't argues this year. His defensive workload and technique really improved by the end of the season
Johnny Ellis (Geoff Toovey) took us back to the 90s with his zip and footwork, blonde locks and courageous defence. Sadly, moving up end at the end of the year. Best of luck with your future football career Johnny
Ned Glass (The Rover) a keen student of the game he would pop up anywhere to scoop up a loose ball, cover up in defence and break up the defensive line with his speed and evasion
Owen Nable ( Brave Heart) our most fearless defender who inspired the crowd and his team mates in putting his body on the line and his attacking confidence grew on the back of his defensive efforts
Mitchell Swanson (The Dancing Man) easily our top metre eater for the season with his passion for swerving, stepping and covering more ground than the early explorers. A prolific try scorer by season's end
Callan West (Usain Bolt) as they say you can't coach speed and boy does this young fella have plenty of that. Saved his best performances for our toughest opponents and kept the scorers busy including six tries in one game
Xavier Williams (The Incredible Hulk) became more aware of his leg drive and power culminating in his Green Haired man of the match performance to round out the season
Blake Rainey (The Smiling Assassin) a debutant and very quick learner. Introduced us to the Blake side step steamrolling his way to numerous tries and a cut down the opposition like an axe with his D
Ryan Hurley (The Enforcer) – another debutant and keen learner, realised by year end what a colossus he is with several barn storming tries and big hits in defence
Coaching the 7s was made easy with the help of parents willing to help at training and on game day. Thanks, to our manager Mark West for the thankless task of managing the team and doubling up by consistently and proactively assisting me with coaching and training drills. Thanks to Pete, Jay, Brook, Nathan and Adam for providing extra support at training and to Tom West for all his awesome photography. A big thankyou also to Greg, Joyce, Mal, Jaq and Foxy for all your help during the season.
Next year we step up to 8 a side and assuming our players return we will have the bare minimum with Johnny moving on. We are looking for at least 3 to 4 more players to field at least one side so please spread the word. Looking forward to the 2019 season.

Q&A With Scott Gibson Of Teneo: SD-WAN Is Taking Off
Submitted by Rick Saia on
Do the best opportunities for the channel today lie in endpoint security, cloud and governance risk and compliance?
GIBSON: Absolutely, for a couple of different reasons. On the endpoint front, that landscape is shifting pretty dramatically to different types of solutions on how to secure the endpoint. So, we're seeing a lot of activity around that. Frankly, organizations need help and education and guidance around that, which is where we can step in to help them.
On the cloud front, clearly cloud adoption is accelerating. … A utility that we talked to a year ago staunchly indicated that there was no way that they would ever move to the cloud. I met with them [in late March] and lo and behold, they [have] a cloud-first strategy within the organization. They're moving key applications into the cloud. They're still being cautious about it and maintaining a hybrid environment, but because of the complexities around that, the information relative to performance and security, that area is a huge area for the channel and sophisticated partners to be able to guide and mentor customers and companies in that direction.

In any form of learning people require a structure. If you wish to live an original life and fulfill your own, individual potential follow these principles.
- Strive to lead a balanced life and avoid excess.
- Enter into the mainstream of your community. Strive to become an 'ordinary' citizen within the society you find yourself.
- Seek to help others.
- Say the prayer of submission each morning and evening. Prayer is intended as a joy not a burden.
- Follow the religion of your birth and fully embrace it. This is a starting point for more advanced study. If you are not able to follow the religion of your birth then say the prayer of submission.
- Abstain from mind altering drugs and stimulants. Rarely use alcohol.
- Follow your heart wherever it may lead you. You have a Life Plan and must learn to follow it.
- Spiritual learning is part of life. It is intended as a center from which to come forward. Lead a complete life.
- Avoid people who are obsessional. Be someone who is not "weird" and is normal. Try to be someone whom you would trust.
- Remember to trust yourself. You have everything you need inside of you for the journey. Listen to your higher self -it knows your Life Plan.
- Make your way to the teacher.
- Remember people are different and there are many paths. Find your own path, embrace and follow it.
An original life is a life that is lived in accord with the Higher Design and your own individual Life Plan. It implies the traveler strives to use their many abilities in the world and has reached a level of personal maturity.
A Life Plan is an inner 'blueprint' for the course of your life and includes those things you wish to accomplish and identifies factors necessary for accomplishing goals. To enact your Life Plan you bring with you the skills, talents and temperament necessary to accomplish what you have come here to accomplish. Aspects of your Life Plan remain unknown to you and are the province of the Unseen Forces.
This way does not require that you do something dramatic. It requires that you do something purposeful and become someone who is useful. The servant seeks to serve and be of use. Fulfill your potential by traveling to all the parts of yourself and remembering daily that you are the son or daughter of a King. Seek to make your life a song and prayer to the Highest.

About Lexi
Hi, my name is Lexi and I live in Los Angeles. I played Division I soccer in college but after having knee surgery my life drastically changed. Staying active didn't come as easy and although during this time I continued to think I was "doing everything" to be healthy and active, the truth is the number on the scale kept increasing. I continued to be unhappy with how I looked and I would make excuses on why I couldn't lose weight.
After seeing photos of Dana W. and watching her change her lifestyle, I was blown away and came to the realization that I didn't have the answers and needed to change my thinking about food and fitness. After starting ALL IN I instantly felt better. Of course the weight loss felt amazing but eating clean and exercising everyday really changed my life for the better. I am happier, healthier and stronger (emotionally and physically). It has been a life-changing experience, one that I didn't even realize I needed. I am able to look at food differently and crave my work outs each day. I was so nervous to turn 30 this past August (2018) but after completing this program I was truly excited and confident for this next decade because I was starting my 30's as the best version of me. My husband, Rhys, thinks he is the funniest guy and keeps making jokes to me about my new appearance: "Don't tell my wife we met."
The encouragement and support I felt through the program helped me succeed and I am excited to become a coach to provide others with that same feeling. This truly is a lifestyle and one that I am proud to be living and sharing with others.

The 1940's silhouette followed on closely from the 1930's, but the influence of the war, with shorter straighter skirts to save on rationed material was a major one, that continued at least in Britain for most of the decade.
With women increasingly being economically active, as well as being in uniform, fashion also took on a more masculine look. This was the era of the shoulder pad, in its first incarnation before the 1980's! However it was often softened by a puffed or gathered sleeve,
Necklines varied but the buttoned or shirt waist top was a standout. What was not on show was any cleavage....certainly not in day wear.
Evening wear was a different story, especially post war, with sleek skirts and spaghetti straps featuring strongly at the end of the decade.....with the influence of Hollywood.
With hindsight the 1940's look was a very feminine one, emphasising the waist and the shoulders, but in a subtle way......

Just right in the "junk" area and suitable. My girlfriend is crazy about them. She got really excited when she first saw them. It's a mixture of classy and sexy at the same time. I will have to buy a second pair for myself and they feel great, very breathable and definitely worth every penny.

As New Jersey's cannabis legalization talks continue behind closed doors — and some speculate they may fall apart — people in the Garden State are still lighting up joints. According to federal government estimates, 22.2 million Americans have used marijuana in the past month. And depending on where you live and buy, the cost can be considerable.
The Oxford Treatment Center, a drug-addiction center based in Mississippi, this month used a crowd-sourced national price directory to compile the average price of high- and medium-quality marijuana for each state. They broke down prices for two amounts: one ounce and one "joint" (as defined by a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services study at 0.66 grams). The directory does not differentiate between prices for medical cannabis, legal cannabis, and illegal cannabis. When self-reporting prices, there is no place to clarify where or how the marijuana was purchased.
The national average price of one ounce of high-quality marijuana is reported at $326. In New Jersey, one ounce can set you back $344. The District of Columbia — where marijuana use is legal — is the most expensive by a significant margin, at $597.88. Two other high-price locations are North Dakota ($383.60) and Virginia ($364.89). These are places, the report authors note, where marijuana use is somewhat restricted: In D.C., although use is legal, it is illegal to purchase; in North Dakota it's only legal for medical use; and in Virginia it's not legal at any level. The three least expensive states for marijuana all allow legal recreational use: Oregon ($210.75), Washington State ($232.90), and Colorado ($241.74).
The national average cost for one ounce of medium-quality marijuana is $265.58. In New Jersey, an ounce would cost $299 on average.
For those looking to light up less than an ounce, one joint of high-quality weed costs $7.59 on average across the country. In New Jersey, a joint would set you back $8. The most expensive places for a high-quality joint are Washington, D.C. ($13.92), North Dakota ($8.93), and Virginia ($8.49).
For a joint of lesser quality, the national average price is $6.18; in New Jersey, it's $6.95.

Aquila is the exclusive Training Partner of the Florida Caribbean Cruise Association. Pictured is Derek Newbold, Sr. Manager of Business Development (1st Left) during Aquila's Product Development & Packaging Workshop in November 2017. Also pictured is Beth Hatt (3rd Left) Founder of Aquila Tours and Melanie Colpitts, Aquila Lead Coach & Trainer. Wednesday, 17th April, 2019 – Freeport, Bahamas – Over the coming months, Freeport will witness a new era of development that is both transformational and unprecedented. With this, residents can expect to see population growth, significant economic injection, job creation, and entrepreneurial opportunities for Bahamians. Carnival's formal announcement of its new cruise port on Grand Bahama, complemented by Royal Caribbean's proposed redevelopment of the Lucayan Harbour announced in early April, made this year's Seatrade Cruise Global Conference the perfect platform from which to network, gather ideas, and research industry trends to support sector related investments, ongoing training, and capacity building undertakings. It is said that, between the two industry giants, Freeport will see an overall investment of nearly $300M, bringing about a wealth of entrepreneurial opportunities for Bahamians. "The Seatrade Cruise Global Conference is the largest and most important industry event of the year. Industry leaders rely on insights shared for future direction on what we can expect for the upcoming maritime season from the major players," commented Derek Newbold, Sr. Manager of Business Development for The Grand Bahama Port Authority, Limited (GBPA) and Invest Grand Bahama. "Considering the major announcements made regarding Grand Bahama this year, in addition to investment promotion efforts, we focused on canvasing opportunities that would benefit Licensees, especially small businesses and aspiring entrepreneurs. This way, we could empower them to take advantage of future opportunities created by either of the new developments." he continued. The 4-Day annual event is host to over 11,000 attendees, exhibitors and C-Level executives, spanning every sector of the cruise, maritime and tourism industries. "Grand Bahama is the Logistics and Maritime capital of The Bahamas, therefore, STCG is an important event on our annual investment promotion calendar." Explained GBPA President, Ian Rolle. "The maritime sector continues to be a very competitive industry, across all sectors. As a destination, Grand Bahama must keep pace with all aspects of the industry and consumer demands regardless of the nature, be it tourism, industrial, trade, information, etc. Competing ports and destinations continuously refine the narrative on how to service these customers. Grand Bahama must as well, and I believe we can do it just as good or better than any jurisdiction," cited Rolle. "STCG has literally become a global marketplace for the Maritime industry. And whilst we did not exhibit through our usual partnership with the Ministry of Tourism; we hosted a series of meetings with industry stakeholders, vendors and investment prospects. As a result of a key meeting, we are proud to announce our upcoming Aquila Cruise Excellence Training set for May 8th. Many of the new ideas and contacts made during the conference will prove beneficial for new product development and packaging of tours, not only for existing businesses but new entrants into the tourism market as well." Rolle concluded. ### Comments Tags: Post navigation Previous Previous post: GBPA Hosts Successful Capital Arena and Prepares to Announce Cohort II WinnersNext Next post: PRESS STATEMENT Related Posts VIDEO: GBPA Hurricane Dorian Relief By GBPA Public Relations September 18, 2019 Building & Development Services hosts College-Bound Students By GBPA Public Relations May 14, 2015 Grand Bahama Utility Company Limited outlines its COVID-19 Contingency Plan By GBPA Public Relations March 18, 2020

Publication details
March Meeting: Active Forms
Exhibition booklet
16.5 x 11.5 cm
English and Arabic
262 pages, 51 visuals
Published by Sharjah Art Foundation, 2018
This publication accompanies the annual March Meeting sessions organised by Sharjah Art Foundation. It presents a programme of events and activities for March Meeting 2018 (17–19 March) that coincide with the opening of the foundation's spring exhibitions. March Meeting provides an opportunity to collectively examine practices in art, writing, film, music, performance and architecture. The 2018 edition explores issues of resistance through consideration of organising as a primary act and condition for artistic and cultural production. The aim is to examine practices that extend and intensify engagement with present and past knowledges of resistance. The programme also seeks to investigate the relationship between recognisable forms, such as projects, exhibitions and conferences, and the surrounding informality from which these events emerge.
Parallel to March Meeting 2018, the exhibition Active Forms features works from the Sharjah Art Foundation Collection by artists John Akomfrah, Basma Alsharif, Halil Altındere, Bahar Behbahani, Simone Fattal, Hazem Harb, Gulnara Kasmalieva and Muratbek Djumaliev, Maha Maamoun, Almagul Menlibayeva, Naeem Mohaiemen, Magdi Mostafa, Raeda Saadeh, Sharif Waked and Abdul Hay Mosallam Zarara.

My New Blog
As many of you know, in addition to being a yoga teacher and spirituality enthusiast I am also a elementry/junior high school' librarian. I serve a clientele ranging from age 5 to 60 (including teachers and staff). While I help students and staff find appropriate reading materials, primary sources and troubleshoot technology for their school work; the number one conversational question I am asked (outside the school work bit) is: What is your favourite book? Even parents will ask for recommendations for books as gifts for their children!
It is a question I can't definitively answer. I have too many favourite books. So I started putting together a little blog to list my (our) favourites. So, if you are a teacher (looking for picture book classroom connections), librarian (looking especially for quick reads, programming) or a parent (looking for a special gift), check out my new blog: http://MrsPsPicks.weebly.com.
There is a tab at the top of this page that will take you there as well.

Relaxation and the Natural State
Yoga will help you to approach life in a less stressed manner and in doing so you will get more out of life. You will be able to achieve more each day and still feel more energized at the end of the day.
One of the most important factors that you will learn from yoga is correct breathing techniques. It is with correct breathing that you will teach your mind and your body to gravitate towards the more natural state of relaxation. You will be able to bring about a peaceful and relaxed state more easily and that in turn will help you to cope with stressful situations. The deep breathing techniques that are taught in yoga can bring about calm in your life while at the same time energizing you.
Many people feel that they need some form of stimulation to get energized but yoga will show you that this can be far from the truth. Yoga gives you a long term energy that is not influenced by hyper activity or nervousness.
You can practice basic yoga breathing techniques anywhere you like. Even while sitting at your office desk it is as easy as following a few simple techniques… Sit up straight in your chair with your feet flat on the floor. Rest your hands on top of your thighs and begin to relax, slowly closing your eyes.
Now begin to think about the various parts of your body. Starting from your feet, relax each body part one at a time. As you feel them become soft and relaxed tension begins to release. Feel your lungs filling with air, expanding and contracting in a relaxed manner. Don't 'push' your breathing. Just maintain a relaxed breath in and out. With each exhale, the tension that is being held in your body is released. Set it free and breathe in the next breath of relaxed energy.
This will come more naturally the more often you do it and you will find that you can get into a relaxed state faster each time. The energy that you get will carry over into each day of your life until you are constantly in a more relaxed state in your everyday life. Try it now and see how easy it is to change your mindset. When thoughts come into your mind while doing this, let them float on by and don't hold onto them.
Giving (and giving generously) is one of the five tenants of a happy life. But, that doesn't necessarily mean doling out money. Take a look at this Random Acts of Kindness calendar and see if there is a way you can give something of yourself each day.

No Scheduled Wednesday Classes
There is so much going on in life at the moment. I am thankful for all the wonderful opportunities that come my way! Sometimes, though, something has to 'give.' I am taking Wednesday yoga off the schedule until further notice to allow me to focus on my day-job; prepare for the upcoming performance (with the East Hants Choral Society) at Carnegie Hall, NYC; spend some time with Joyful Noise; and to do some research into developing a special "Signature' Women's Empowerment Workshop. I'm not sure that relinquishing one night will result in all the time I need but it is a start. Wish me Luck!

How to Get Healthy!
Wellness is the goal of many. And many have discovered that it isn't easy to achieve. We want to lose weight, we want to be stronger, more flexible, faster, happier. I'm sorry to say that there is no quick fix or fast track. It requires a determined effort at lifestyle change. Fad diets, punishing workouts, expensive vacations seem to be the way or fast track but these efforts tend to be short-lived and unsustainable.
So how do you even start a wellness journey? You start with baby steps. Create an action plan Choose one or two things that you can incorporate into your life this week that are doable and sustainable.

Caring For Your Eye Pillow Cover
I hope you enjoyed receiving your eye pillow covers last evening. I took great pleasure in crafting them and giving them to you. They are 100% cotton and so can be put in the washer and dryer and can take the iron. They are yours to keep, just remember to bring them with you to class. Namaste.

Getting Crafty
I'd forgotten how much I like to sew! I decided recently to craft some eye pillows for use at our yoga classes and was quite surprised to find that my 35 year-old sewing machine still worked! And I still remembered how to use it. I made my own uniforms when I was nursing but I kind of let that hobby slip to the sidelines when I started exploring other career paths.
Here are a few pictures of the process of individually crafting these eye pillow additions to our class.

Culver City Firefighters sent to Assist with Woolsey Fire
The Culver City Fire Department has been sent to assist first strike teams working on the Woolsey Fire. The Culver City Fire Department was originally sent to assist with the Hill Fire in Ventura County but was moved to the Woolsey Fire as the blaze grew.
Culver City engines 41 and 42 were deployed on November 8 to Ventura County and joined strike team XLA-1075A. This strike team was comprised of firefighters from Culver City, Santa Monica, and Beverly Hills. After an hour on the Hill Fire XLA-1075A was one of many teams sent to help with Woolsey.
Martin Feinberg, Realtor, notes that the Culver City firefighters' main duties in assisting with the Woolsey fire were to clear brush and protect structures in Bell Canyon.
As most people are aware, the Woolsey Fire ignited last Thursday and has burned over 100,000 acres in southern California. As of this Tuesday, the Woolsey Fire continued to burn in Thousand Oaks and the northwest side of Malibu, though firefighters were making gains. The entire city of Malibu had been evacuated by Tuesday morning, along with Bell Canyon, Oak Park, Topanga, Monte Nido, and a few others.
Martin Feinberg, Culver City Realtor was impressed to learn that Culver City Firefighters were spending as much as 48 hours at a time working to control the blaze, with high winds making the fire more volatile for most of the time.
Earlier in the week there was some fear among Culver City Real Estate area residents that the fire might reach the city but so far it has escaped any real danger. Culver City Fire Department officials have also assured citizens that the Woolsey Fire is not a threat. Some Culver City firefighters remain in the area and were able to combat a small brush fire early Monday morning. Protecting Culver City still remains the main priority of the Culver City Fire Department.

The Tories and bosses tried to spin new inflation figures released on Tuesday as good news for workers.
The Consumer Prices Index (CPI) rate of inflation—the bosses' favourite measure—was 2.6 percent this month, apparently lower than expected.
Tories and bankers claimed this means there'll be less pressure on ordinary people's budgets. But the figures still mean that prices are going up fast.
The cost of almost all products that people rely on—including food, transport and housing—have shot up in the last year.
And rail fares will go up by much more next January because they're linked to the Retail Price Index (RPI) that rose 3.6 percent.
This older measure of inflation gives a much closer picture of how ordinary people's living standards are being affected.
CPI was brought in by the European Union (EU) to enforce "fiscal responsibility".
It's deliberately lower than RPI to pressure governments into keeping spending on public services down.
Working class people's living standards are being squeezed between low pay and higher living costs.
New wage figures set to be released on Wednesday were expected to show average weekly earnings have only risen by around 1.8 percent—lower than either inflation measure.
Pay in "real terms"—accounting for inflation—has fallen since the 2008 global capitalist crash and bosses are determined to keep wages low.
