Wine is bottled poetry!
Get the wine, we need to talk about feelings!
A bottle of wine contains more philosophy than any non-fiction book.
Trust me, you can dance! -wine.
Too bad you can't stroke a wine.
Wine + Dinner = Winner.
Tell me the three magic words! You, me, wine?
Of all the drinks, wine is certainly the one that stimulates the most witty conversations. What is not all discussed over a good glass of wine? And how often has wine inspired great writers? Tucholsky wished to caress wine, Robert Louis Stevenson called it "poetry in bottles" and Goethe even thought a glass of wine was the "saviour in need".
LinkupDesign has created several wine labels with different sayings from famous or unknown Authors.
We understand "Gesprächsstoff / conversation material" as a trigger for communicative situations, which can be the initial spark for interesting conversations. Wine has always been a means of communication and so our focus of this label design was precisely this communication.
The wine was bottled and labelled exclusively by the Reuther winery. It was sold very successfully within four weeks in Jacques' Weindepot and online.

The Fudan MBA iLab is a 3-credit course given within the Fudan IMBA curriculum. Established in 2005, this unique program is designed to create an academic and social atmosphere which cultivates experiential and dynamic learning. Under the guidance of school faculty, the iLab teams work on real problems partner companies want to fix and help companies to grow their businesses in China and other global markets. The mission of the iLab is two-fold: to provide exceptional learning value to Fudan MBA students and to offer innovative, strategic plans which add value to clients.
Global iLab
Initiated by MIT Sloan School of Management in 2008, each Fudan China Lab team composed of 2 MIT Sloan MBA students and 2 Fudan IMBA students works on what is essentially a 3-month, mini-consulting project. With entrepreneurship and innovation as its themes, China Lab offers professional advice for companies on subjects including but not limited to: Initial Setup and Development, Internationalization, Marketing Development, Capital-raising Strategies, Organizational Structure Plans, Commercialization Strategies, and Landscape Competing Strategies.
Launched in 2013, the Fudan-Business Finland iLab is a joint program with Business Finland, the Finnish Innovation Funding Agency. The Fudan-Business Finland iLab team composed of 4 Fudan IMBA students and 1 part-time MBA student consults with a Finnish company interested in entering or expanding its position in the Chinese market. The purpose of the Fudan-Business Finland iLab is to provide students with an enriching educational experience that will increase their understanding of current issues and further their career aspirations, while on the other hand, to assist companies from Finland with their international expansion efforts.
Launched in 2011, the Portugal-China Lab provides students with a breadth of academic curriculum and a unique learning experience in an overseas environment. Each year, a company in Portugal selects a business project to be developed by MBA students and sponsors the initiative. The project team is composed of 3 Fudan MBA students and 3 Lisbon MBA students who are to work together in summer for 7 or 8 weeks (the first two weeks in China, next three or four weeks of virtual work, and the final two weeks in Portugal). They are mentored by the faculty both from Lisbon MBA and Fudan School of Management.
Launched in 2014, the Australia – China Lab offers the MBA students access to a global experience that involves approaching an actual business problem. Five IMBA students from Fudan School of Management and five MBA students from University of Queensland Business School work together in order to develop a strategic plan for an Australian company looking to enter or consolidate in the Chinese market. The project will be conducted under the guidance of faculty mentors from Fudan School of Management and UQ Business School
In the year of 2018, we initiated the collaboration on the Thailand – China Lab between Sasin School and Fudan School of Management. In 2019, Sasin School selected 4 Thai companies expecting to expand their business in the Chinese market. The project team is composed of 3 Fudan MBA students and 3 Sasin MBA students who are to work together in spring for 7 or 8 weeks. They are mentored by the faculty both from Sasin and Fudan School of Management.
Launched in 2005, the Wharton-Fudan Global Consulting Practicum (GCP) is designed to bridge the academic and international business worlds as teams execute marketing and strategy consulting engagements for fee-paying clients. The project cycle is 8 months (Oct.- May). Teams comprising 5 Fudan MBA students and 5 Wharton MBA students consult with client companies (either profit making or non-profit social impact) interested in entering or expanding its position in the U.S. market or in the Chinese markets.
Local iLab
The goal of the local iLab projects is to engage students with senior management of successful companies and to challenge them to develop an understanding of the kinds of strategic and business objectives that are involved in solving a variety of business problems. The students will learn to apply the concepts, methods and paradigms from their classes to a specific business circumstance, as they do in the global iLab, but in this case the clients are local or multinational companies based in Shanghai and the iLab teams are consisted of only Fudan IMBA students. The partner companies we've worked with include Bosch, IBM, Intel, Chia Tai Group, ExxonMobil, YHD, Shanghai Real Estate Group, Michelin China, MSD China, McDonald's China, Pfizer, LG, DNV GL, PPG, CICC, SEPHORA, Symrise, Wyeth Nutrition and Beijing Superstar Group etc. The range of topics covers internationalization strategies, sales and marketing strategies, new market entry analysis, digital marketing, innovative relationship mode, organizational structure plans, distribution & service model, risk management recommendations and new e-commerce business model, etc.

Facebook is planning to team up with Spotify to create a music service that will allow users to listen to the same music as their friends are listening to simutaneously, at least that's what a story over at Forbes says.
However, Spotify told the finance rag that it had no knowledge of any sort of joint application with Facebook.
The yarn has it that a streaming music service is currently in testing, and Facebook users will soon notice a Spotify icon on the left of their News Feed, sources reckon.
"We have Facebook integration," a Spotify spokesperson said. "We're continuously working with them to make that as good as it can be. But that's the extent of our relationship."
Facebook did not respond for comment.
Apparently, before Mark Zuckerberg began working on Facebook, he had also been working on a music streaming service. He created Wirehog in 2004, a peer-to-peer application that was designed to work through Facebook, but Napster co-founder (and former Facebook president) Sean Parker killed it.
If it exists, the music service will be available to countries where Spotify is available, which is almost everywhere but the United States.

If you have some old hardware you wish to donate, please read the below FAQ and then contact me via email to confirm it is something I can use.
Keep in mind this is my regular email address. Please be sure to say somewhere in the message title or in the body that this is a donation offer. I get hundreds of emails per day. Some people just email me pictures of some stuff they found. I often don't know if they are wanting to donate to me, or if they are just wanting to talk about the items, or ask how to fix them, or whatever. I don't want to be presumptuous and assume it is a donation offer if it doesn't say so.
Donation F.A.Q.
First and foremost, I am out of space to accept most donations at this point. Any unsolicited donations will likely go in the trash. If they are something I think somebody else can use, I will take them to the DF/W Retro computer meetup and place them on the free table for somebody else to have. This isn't how I want to do things, but I simply have no choice. An analogy I've been using lately is to imagine your refrigerator is completely full. You can't fit a single new thing in there. But your neighbors love making you food and deserts. You've told them you don't have any more space in the fridge, but they keep leaving stuff on your doorstep and ringing your doorbell. You bring in the food, but what do you do with it? Well, you have to throw it out or find somebody else to give it to. That is the place I'm at right now. Every new piece of equipment I accept winds up on the living room floor or the kitchen table until I can find some place to put it or somebody to give it to. So please, do not send me anything without checking with me. This happens far too often, and there is no elegant way of dealing with it. So consider yourself warned.
Ebay listings – Every day I receive numerous emails from people with a link to an ebay item they think I might want to bid on. Be warned – these emails are sent straight to the trash without even opening the link. It really wouldn't matter what the item is, I am not going to bid on it. I simply have nowhere else to store any new purchases. So, please don't send these to me, even if the item is something that is on my wanted list. That list exists for people who want to donate something. The way I look at it, if I'm actively looking for some item I need for an episode, I will be searching ebay already on my own. However, if there is an item I know I will need in the future but I'm not in a hurry for it, I'll put it on the donation list in case somebody has one they want to donate. So, just because it is on the list doesn't mean I'm currently shopping for the item, hence I don't need to see your ebay links.
Broken Products – I am offered a lot of broken items. Sometimes, I actually want such items to do restorations on. But, quite often I do not. My "repair pile" is huge and I'll probably never finish repairing all of the items in the pile. So, I am reluctant to take any broken items unless it is something I actually want to do a repair video on, or I need a part from that item. You can certainly ask, but there is a 99% chance I won't want it.
Here is a list of items I'm currently looking for:
- Commodore 64GS (games system)
- Atari 1450XLD
Of course, many of the donations I receive are items I hadn't even thought of before. So if you have something you think might be of use, just send me an email and let me know! Generally I will be showing these items on the show at some point and mentioning your name and the geographical region (usually city/state) that it came from. If you do not want me to mention this, please be sure to specify that!
I also accept monetary donations on Patreon. For those that don't like Patreon, you can donate directly via paypal to my email address firstname.lastname@example.com. If you do send a paypal donation, please say so in the description or email me about it. Otherwise I will see the payment and have to contact you to ask what it is for. I often have various things going on with buying and selling stuff, so if it doesn't say it is a donation, I won't know for sure.
Assuming you've read the FAQ, then send me an email to email@example.com

HODL may be a night-time prayer for some, but for Matt Liston – the founder of Augur – blockchain is now literally a religion.
On the back of legal disputes with Augur, Liston has now unveiled 0xΩ -a decentralized religion in which all reports, donations, and consensus will be carried out on a blockchain and through smart contract technology.
During a launch party (or religious ceremony, depending which you prefer), Liston took to the stage in an event that was part of an exhibition hosted by the Rhizome arts group at the New Museum in New York.
Speaking at the event, Liston described 0xΩ as "a religious framework that could allow for belief sets to update much more quickly and also to democratize the relationship between membership and convergence on what everyone believes in this religion".
Essentially the Decentralized Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, the new religion was baptized in a ritual that saw historically hyperinflated currencies (such as the Reichsmark) marked with public and private Ethereum keys.

— Ryan John King (@frothcity) May 19, 2018
During the event, Liston handed out several copies of a so-called "flame-paper" (a holy white paper) outlining 0xΩ's governance model. Specifically, the religion will see participants identify, approve, and evolve "sacred texts" through a smart contract in a system not dissimilar to the manner in which a stockbroker might use a proxy vote to update laws in an organization.
0xΩ would supposedly enable parties to appoint leaders and fund symbolic projects – and those offering tithes could also fund religious artworks and temples using smart contracts.
It remains to be seen whether Liston himself will step into the limelight to champion the endeavor, or if 0xΩ will be led by a congregation of its own. Liston's crisis of faith comes after the cryptocurrency-pundit launched a $152 million USD lawsuit against Augur following his removal from the project.

If you're one of the cutting-edge employers using pre-employment tests to screen potential hires, have you stopped to consider whether those tests are accessible to all applicants? It's an important question that speaks to both equal employment opportunity, and your capacity to cast the widest net possible when fishing for talent.
When buying a piece of eRecruiting technology, employers and human resources professionals can often feel like they're at the mercy of the vendors who are selling or building the technology. This tip sheet explores techniques for communicating about accessibility—clearly, directly, and throughout the technology development lifecycle.
In today's business world, eRecruiting tools are everywhere. As these tools become more and more commonplace, employers are asking important questions about the legal responsibilities they may have to make those tools accessible to all users, including job seekers with disabilities.
This tip sheet describes some common accessibility issues faced by people with several types of disabilities—including those affecting vision, hearing, physical, and cognitive skills. It highlights tips and exemplary practices that HR professionals can share with the technology designers and developers who are purchasing, building, modifying, and improving their eRecruiting tools, websites, and mobile applications.
Despite all of the advances in technology, employers are still having trouble filling positions. Of course, there are a number of reasons why finding talent is so difficult. But what if one of those boiled down to a fundamental problem with the technology tools employers are using? What if top talent is falling through the cracks due to accessibility issues, rather than a lack of qualifications?

By David RobieAUCKLAND — When French Polynesia's 41-seat Territorial Assembly met on April 5 to decide the South Pacific territory's new president for five years, the choice marked a remarkable political comeback.
Gaston Flosse, the part-Tahitian who, as France's controversial pacific affairs secretary, fell from grace in Polynesia in the wake of corruption allegations and rioting in Papeete during 1987, had the numbers to regain office.
Two previous parliamentary sessions since the March 17 election failed to resolve the leadership issue, but this time a challenge by the pro-independence campaigner Oscar Temaru was unable to stave off the inevitable.
Present Tahitian politics are very fluid, if not volatile, and the governing coalition could collapse even quicker than the last one headed by the 57-year-old Flosse.
Although Flosse's party, Tahoeraa Huiraatira (People's Rally), won 18 seats after a high-spending election campaign, it was not enough to govern outright. Flosse has been negotiating to form a coalition government with the centrist party Aia Api (New Country), led by maverick part-Tahitian Emile Vernaudon, which won five seats.
The conservative Tahoeraa is affiliated to the French Gaullist Rally for the Republic party led by former prime minister Jacques Chirac.
Flosse won the presidency with 25 votes, 18 from his own party and seven representing Aia Api and two independents. Twelve opposition Polynesian Union members walked out before the vote.
"Our priority is to sort out the territory's finances, which are in a mess", said Flosse. He promised to introduce a balanced budget early in May, adding that it was difficult to forecast his strategy until he knew the true financial state of the territory.
But the success of Flosse is far from the "triumph" proclaimed by the French press. The news media have generally interpreted the election result as demonstrating the Polynesian people are strongly in favour of French rule and nuclear bomb tests at Moruroa and Fangataufa atolls.
In fact, Tahoeraa Huiraatira gained less than 27,000 votes, or barely 31 per cent of the ballots cast, to win its 18 seats. The losing Polynesian Union, headed by outgoing president Alexandre Leontieff and popular Papeete Mayor Jean Juvetin, gained the same percentage but won only 10 seats.
The Polynesian Union had headed the coalition government since the collapse the collapse of the Flosse administration after the riots by jobless youth in November 1987, but had suffered from lack of credibility and unity since then. In 1986, Flosse's party had won 22 seats outright, and three independent assemblymen joined his majority until Leontieff led a breakaway by 10 rebels. Another factor in Flosse's electoral recovery was that about half of those who voted for his party were French civilian experts, government officials, soldiers, sailors and bomb technicians living in Tahiti, who are allowed to participate in local elections.
Ironically, the day after the election, the Appeals Court in Paris partially cleared Flosse on corruption charges. It declared there was insufficient evidence to uphold charges filed in September 1989 that Flosse had used public funds to build a road to his private property at Erima-Arue.
Flosse had already been cleared of two other corruption charges on 26 November 1990. However, Judge Albert Moatty ruled that Flosse must face fraud charges over another property he owns in Paea. He is alleged to have used public funds to upgrade the property in 1986.
A feature of the election was the success of Temaru's Tavini Huiraatira in doubling its vote and winning four seats. But the rival pro-independence party, Ia Mana Te Nunaa (Power to the People), was dealt a bitter blow, losing all three seats it held in the outgoing assembly.
After leading a dramatic swing among pro-independence and anti-nuclear Tahitians in the and early 1980s, Ia Mana faltered after it joined the government. Thousands of supporters, apparently considering Ia Mana had sold out, defected to Tavini Huiraatira, which proclaims a "no-compromise" independence policy.
"Ia Mana lost its popularity because it formed an alliance with Leontieff, who is in favour of the existing colonial system and has never criticised the nuclear tests", said Tahiti commentator and historian Bengt Danielsson, co-author of Poisoned Reign, a noted book about French nuclear colonialism.

In Sunday School the last couple weeks we have been talking about greed, and the many ways it can show up in our lives.
One of the questions asked today was whether more money will make us happier. I think most of know that being happier isn't usually as simple as just having more money. At the same time it's easy to think that surely it would have to help.
But there was one point made in the lesson that I found really interesting and it was this - nearly all the studies done recently on money and happiness show that only when it relieves abject poverty does money make a measurable difference in a person's level of happiness. Somehow this really stuck with me.
All too have often I have a tendency to think that I really don't need to be rich but just a little more money would make me so much happier. But apparently that isn't the case. I am not experiencing abject poverty. I have plenty of food, clothing, a sound home that keeps me warm in winter and cool in summer.
So I guess that "little bit more" probably wouldn't do a whole lot for my happiness. What I really need to learn is found in these two verses . . .
And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 1 Timothy 6:8
. . . for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. Philippians 4:11

On our recent trip to the beach, we fed the seagulls. I think Jesse, my son, had the best time. The seagulls did a great job at entertaining him.
"If you smile when no one else is around, you really mean it." – Andy Rooney
The gulls were treated to some cookies and a muffin; after looking at the pictures, I'm reminded of the If You Give a …..series of books by Laura Numeroff.

With all of the recent events that have taken place in my life none of which have been good, seem to be over. And the recovery road has been difficult to say the least. During that time I did no crafting, I had no drive, or creative sparks to work with. And again, that seems to have passed. Thank the Lord. Anyway, I am not going to go into all the hardship, as I just don't want to re- live it right now. But I am going to thank everyone for their support and prayers. It really does mean alot to me. And your prayers were heard and answered, so thank you all very much. So onto the next chapter of life.....
I am going to be making some changes to the blog, the store and in general the way I do things. I have realized many things while on my hiatus. So be sure to check back often, for some new and exciting things to come.

Whilst simplistic in design, the M148 Micro Chorus does a fantastic job of re-creating the classic 80's chorus tone as found on countless hit records over the past few decades. A single-knob 'Rate' control allows you to scan a wide range of different tonal responses very quickly, without overcluttering your pedal board when inspiration strikes.
The Micro Chorus features an old-school bucket-brigade system, so you get fat analog tones and the sort of sound quality you've come to expect from MXR.
A rock-solid chassis, metal footswitch and true bypass ensure the integrity of your dry signal when not in use.

The horse glances at us, its mane, represented by a smooth, rough-edged plane of bronze, caught by the wind. although one cannot see the body of the animal, the subtle detail incorporated by the artist: the bulge of the shoulder muscle and the folds in its neck, allow the viewer to feel the power of the full form of the living horse in the fleeting moment of a confident, brisk stride that Fraser has frozen in bronze. BIOGRAPHY Mel Fraser Mel Fraser MRSS is a contemporary sculptor specialising in stone, working since the mid 1990s. She is equally at home working on abstract or figurative pieces and her work has been shown at numerous art fairs around Europe and New York, The Chelsea Flower Show, Marks Hall, Doddington and at On Form, the UK's most prestigious sculpture exhibition devoted solely to stone. Mel has worked in Carrara and Pietrasanta in Italy, at the quarries and stone yards in Kilkenny, Ireland and has a long collaboration with members of the Shona tribe from Zimbabwe. Her work is held by collectors all over the world and a recent commission saw her work installed in Frank Gehry's Opus Building in Hong Kong. In December 2015 she finished working on a larger than life-sized piece of 3 figures in Kilkenny limestone for one of the UK's largest trade unions, the GMB. Mel is happy to consider commissions.

Currently have three lipsticks from this brand and in this particular kind. It's all the rave I really do enjoy it and I am going to get more when I am out. The pigmentation is very true to the color on the outside as shown, probably the best features about the lipstick and what had me drawn to it to begin with.
I love, love, love, this lipstick! It was one of the first liptsticks that I ever bought, and it's still one of my favorites.
I am not much of a Covergirl fan in general but I decided to buy these on a whim because my local store was having a buy one get one 50% off sale. These are now some of my favorite lipsticks! I am extremely picky about lip products and I am somewhat of a lipstick junky. These are wonderful, they go on smooth and creamy without emphasizing lines or bleeding everywhere. They last a pretty decent amount of time while not drying out your lips. They also come in a TON of different colors and all the ones that I have tried are extremely vibrant and pigmented. Definitely recommend.
I love this lipstick so creamy and love the color I have a nude one looks great love their cosmetics I would want to buy other colors.
This is a very good brand. I had never tried their lipsticks before but I was pleasantly surprised. This product moisturizes and delivers beautiful color.
This CoverGirl formula is amazing. The colors are luxurious and the texture is smooth. The color selection offers something for everyone. I have a wide variety of lipsticks from all different brands and Covergirl gives me everything I want and expect from a lipstick. The price is affordable and the product is fantastic.
i usually buy MAC but not anymore, this is amazing quality and an amazing price, SO WORTH IT!
I recently bought this lipstick for the first time. I usually buy Lancome. I loved cover girl lipstick it went on smoothly and lasted all day. It also was half the price. I will now only buy cover girl lipstick.
I also received this from BzzAgent to try. I received 2 tubes, Hypnotic and Rich. My favorite was the Hypnotic lipstick, I LOVE it! It?s such a pretty color, and it goes on smoothly. It leaves my lips feeling soft and last a long time. I will buy this product again!
I recently received Covergirl Lip Perfection from BZZ Agent to try. I received 2 tubes and my favorite is fervour. It gives your lips just enough color to brighten your face up it is a perfect wear everyday. I thought this product was great and i would definitly buy it again.

Happy Jele cherishes his 200th Bucs game
Orlando Pirates captain Happy Jele is on his 200th Absa Premiership game. Jele speaks to Tiyani wa ka Mabasa about his journey with the Buccaneers from 2006 and his comeback after a career-threating knee injury against Bidvest Wits in 2011
Congratulations on your milestone. It must be a big deal for you just as it was when you joined Pirates from amateur side Walter Stars from Middelburg?
Yeah, I remember it well and coming from Mpumalanga to go play for Orlando Pirates was a big thing for me. So my debut was very nice against Maritzburg United [on September 20 2006] though we lost 1-0 [at Chatsworth Stadium]. I was about 19 years old at the time.
Of those who started for Pirates with you, it's only Paulus Masehe of Free State Stars who's also still playing in the PSL, while the likes of Lucky Lekgwathi, Lucas Thwala and Benedict Vilakazi are not.
What did you learn from those guys?
I learnt a lot from them and they kept pushing me to work harder. They taught me to be disciplined and to be dedicated. My purpose was to learn from them.
You could have actually passed 200 sometime back had it not been for that terrible injury?
Eish, that moment was hard for me when I got injured, and I must thank the Mighty God for giving me another chance to play again. I'm grateful for that and after that, I wanted to do more because Orlando Pirates did a lot of things for me. I had a lot of support from the club, my family, friends and manager. I saw that there were a lot of people that care about me. It made me stronger and motivated me to come back.
Your first coach at Pirates was Micho Sredojevic, in his first stint. Has he changed?
He was a good coach and he is still a good coach. I learnt a lot from him, Rulani [Mokwena] and Benson [Mhlongo]. Football changes every day and you have to learn every day. We have a good technical team overall.
What has been your best moment at Pirates?
It's a lot, obviously. Being a part of the club, participating in major CAF tournaments was a dream for me and winning a double treble with the team.
Do you believe you can win the league?
It's not the end and you can't predict the future. We are taking one game as it comes, that's all I can say.
How long do you see yourself playing?
I don't know. I will see with my legs, but I love this game and I'm passionate about it.
Is it disappointing that you only have three Bafana Bafana caps?
All I can say is that it's very good to play for your country and you need to push harder to get there.
Your message to aspiring footballers?
You must have passion for the game, be disciplined and dedicated; have a good attitude and don't be around people who can get you into situations where you end up using things like drugs. Get away from negative people and be positive about what you want to do. It's about perseverance and your time will come. You never know who's watching.

Keith Richards is on the phone talking about one of his favorite subjects.
"The rhythm section … I love rhythm sections, it all starts there," says the Rolling Stones guitarist as if describing the Book of Genesis. At his most eloquent, as in the passages from his 2010 memoir, "Life," when he reminisced about the days when he'd press his ear to a phonograph speaker to better hear the interplay of the Jimmy Reed or Muddy Waters band, the back-line figured mightily in his understanding of how music moved the soul.
Now he was thinking about his Stones compatriot, drummer Charlie Watts, possibly for a number of reasons. There's no doubt that the ebb-and-flow between Watts and Richards gives the best Stones music its eternal elasticity, and puts some jump in the band's hits-dominated stadium tours. But in an interview earlier this year with the Guardian, Watts cast some doubt on his desire to keep the road show rolling. "It wouldn't bother me if the Rolling Stones said that's it … enough," the 77-year-old drummer said.
The comment was made several months before the Stones announced a 2019 tour of America. Richards wanted to make it clear that one of the biggest reasons the Stones aren't calling it a career just yet is because of their drummer's ability to keep swinging.
During the Stones' European tour earlier this year, "Charlie Watts' playing was so incredible, the band couldn't go wrong," Richards says. "He is inspiring to everybody, and I want more of it. A great rhythm section – Charlie and (bassist) Darryl Jones – opens up everything" for Richards and his guitar-playing side-kick, Ronnie Wood.
In a cut-to-the-chase interview this week, Richards opened up about a few things that have been on his mind recently, including the ongoing work on the first Stones album of original material since 2005. Here's an edited portion of that conversation:
Tribune: There's always the speculation around every Stones tour that it could be the last one. When you finished the European tour this year, did you always anticipate that you'd be playing more shows in 2019?
Richards: You're always optimistic. The band was in such good shape, and it felt like we were still peaking so that we all kind of looked around after the last show in Warsaw and were like, "That's it?" That's when the idea germinated to do this one. Besides, what else would I be doing?
Q: You've suggested in recent interviews that you feel like you have more stamina at age 74 than you did a decade before. Why is that?
A: I don't attribute it to anything. You hope for the best (laughs). When you play in a band that's playing well, the energy starts to increase in between tours, and you're itching to get back out there. I did give up the booze this year, like I've given up a lot of other things. The experiment is over (laughs). I'm enjoying it, though. After I quit, I didn't find things much different, which is why I stopped.
Q: Last winter, you said the Stones would have a new studio album out by the end of the year. How's that going?
A: Mick (Jagger) and I got together the last few months with (producer) Don Was in the studio, and we've been knocking up some ideas. We want to do some more sessions, but not sure when. We might do something in February and March. It's progressing. All I can say, there are a couple of nice things happening, with the promise of a lot more, and we're having fun doing it. We get together, and it's always, 'Got anything new?' 'Did anything else occur?' And a couple of songs always pop up.
Q: Is it still clicking quickly for you and Jagger when you get together to write songs?
A: You jump into this familiar spot, even if we've been away for months. It's comfortable kicking around ideas. We've been doing this for a while, so it's not difficult to start up again. Mick is a great rhythm guitar player – I always enjoyed playing guitar with him because we're both rhythm guys really. We're writing with two guitars, and I might throw piano or bass on here and there.
Q: Was it a surprise to you that the band was able to knock out the blues album (the 2016 release of blues covers, "Blue & Lonesome") so quickly?
A: In a way it was a surprise, all of it. When we got back together, we just had the feeling the Stones had to make this album, bring it full circle from where we came, which was to do an entire album of the kind we would've recorded when we first played the clubs in London. We would've played these same songs back then.

Could Pesticides and Food Allergies Be the reason your sick?
If you are exposed to higher amounts of chemicals used to kill crop pests you are also more likely to suffer from food allergies.
Anything that kills pest might have the potential to raise Food allergy risks. People who are exposed to higher amounts of chemicals like those in chlorinated water to pesticides used to kill crop pests are also more likely to suffer from food allergies. It's possible that chemicals used to kill insects can influencing the immune system's reaction to food triggers. Both environmental pollution and the prevalence of food allergies are increasing in the United States, the results are that these two phenomena might be linked.In the United States, food allergies effect between 1-3% of adults and between 6-8 % of children. And bad reactions to foods have grown more common in recent years, with as much as a 20% increase in kids in the last decade.
Do you suffer from frequent headaches? Maybe you've felt tired or nervous or irritable for no particular reason. Or are you experiencing pain somewhere in your body, but you just can't put your finger on why or where? Well your not crazy, you could be being poisoned, by pesticides that is. You may be a victim of pesticide poisoning if you've experienced any of these symptoms: fatigue, aching bones, headache, indeterminate body pains, chronic tiredness, mental confusion, fever or other "cold-like" and "flu-like" symptoms.
Many times you may be poisoned by pesticide residues in or on your food and just not realize it. Pesticide poisoning goes virtually undetected by doctors because they rarely recognize the symptoms for what they are. Since you may not have become immediately sick after eating pesticide-contaminated food, you may not connect your negative feelings with the poisons you just ate. As many as five thousand people die each year as a direct result of pesticides. And a staggering 5 million people or more are victims of pesticide poisonings and go unreported or undiagnosed each year.
Everybody in the world, no matter where you live or what you eat, have pesticide residues throughout your body. Pesticides are especially damaging to the liver and spleen. Blood disorders such as leukemia and anemia have increased with the use of pesticides. More leukemia cases are reported in primary farm states that have the highest amounts of pesticide use. Liver disorders such as hepatitis, jaundice and other ailments have skyrocketed with pesticide use. It is now believed that the greater number of hepatitis cases may be caused by DDT on the leaves of green vegetables. Although we can't blame all our nation's ills on pesticide use, pesticide poisoning is real. Stillbirths, miscarriages and deformed babies occur most where pesticide use has increased the quickest.
The government is doing a miserable job of keeping pesticides out of our environment. Agribusiness aggressively promotes the use of these poisons for profit, even when they know they are killing people! Although DBCP is now banned in the United States of America because it is believed to cause cancer and sterility, there are no restrictions on selling this pesticide to foreign countries. Banana plantations in Costa Rica, Honduras and Ecuador buy DBCP from us. They use it to kill soil-dwelling worms that attack the bananas. Then they ship the sprayed bananas back to the United States where you eat them. Imported produce is more likely to be highly poisoned than food grown in our country. The reason? Americans eat with their eyes, we won't buy any fruits or vegetables with any insect marks or blemishes, so they are sprayed heavily. About four times as much spray as we use on our domestic crops. No insects ever touch that food, and you should never touch it either.
Is the situation hopeless? Do we have to sit back and allow ourselves to be poisoned for someone else's bank account? NO!! You can take actions today that may save the lives and health of all the people and wildlife on this planet. As much as possible, boycott the giant agricultural businesses who are chiefly responsible for pesticide production and use. Buy local and organic produce as much as possible. Support the small, independent farmers. Tell your local grocery store that you want more homegrown and unsprayed produce. Spend your dollars wisely so as to give little support to the food industries that use poison for profits.
You can consume less pesticides by growing your own fruits and vegetables. If you have extra room, grow additional poison-free food for friends and relatives. However, realize that pesticides are now throughout the environment. Rains carry deadly poisons from around the world and deposit them in your garden. Even homegrown and organically grown food is now being pesticide contaminated due to our polluted waterways. You can't run away anymore from the problem, it's being brought home to you, like it or not. If you can't garden or raise your own food, grow sprouts. These are virtually poison tree food and may be had fresh all year round. Sprouting dried seeds and grains can help you consume less supermarket poisoned foods.
Yes, you can eat certain foods and avoid others to reduce your pesticide poisoning. By wisely choosing your foods, you can consume considerably less poisons than the average person. If you follow a good diet, you can be protected from most of the harmful effects of pesticides. For instance, uncooked foods present less of a problem to the body as it tries to separate the poisons from the food. If you cook your food, you're creating chemical bonds with the poisons that may present difficulty. A little poison on your fresh fruits and vegetables won't hurt you as much as the high amount of poisons most people get in the typical high-fat, high-meat American diet.

Fair Play Virgin Galactic is inspiring young scientists and engineers through its new spaceflights. Share SpaceShipTwo on its third test flight. WhiteKnightTwo on the ground. One tried-and-true way to get kids excited about STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields: spaceflight. From the Apollo program to the space shuttles to, now, privatized space travel and tourism, it's shiny-penny inspiration amid algorithms and equations. This year, as Virgin Galactic reaches up, it's also reaching out to future astronauts, employees, and possible competitors. The spaceline continues rocket-powered flight tests of SpaceShipTwo (its third test dropped from mother ship WhiteKnightTwo and blasted to 71,000 feet) and is sponsoring this year's Google Science Fair—an annual global competition designed to nurture the next generation of scientists and engineers, which drew entries from more than 120 countries last year. Virgin Galactic sweetened a grand prize that includes a Galápagos cruise and a $50,000 scholarship with a private behind-the-scenes tour of its Spaceport America terminal, but perhaps more important, it offered the 13- to 18-year-old contestants a chance to pick some of its top employees' brains during online video Q&As. Test pilot Michael "Sooch" Masucci, payload integration engineer Kyle Stephens, and liquid propulsion design engineer (aka rocket scientist) Kimberly Betker joined one recent session, where questions ranged from "What's the 'to-do list' to get your job?" to "Why the new hybrid motor design for the spaceship?" to "What's the exact chemical makeup of liquid rocket fuel?" From the looks of these and other queries streaming in, at this fair, the old baking-soda volcano isn't going to cut it.

Foreign Affairs of America
Many critics are opposed to global intervention and think the money spent could be much better spent in America. They think isolation is the ideal foreign policy because foreign affairs don?t concern us. They have also told us we have done more harm than good, and it is time to concentrate on our own people. People who believe in isolation are clearly ignorant to what the United States of America accomplishes. By helping and rebuilding other nations we gain protection from them attacking us and they become our allies. It also is our moral responsibility to help people in need as the only superpower. Another thing is it protects American citizens and industries that are in those foreign countries. Intervention should be the United States foreign policy because it increases our protection, has worked in the past, and in proven to be the best plan for the future.
The first reason intervention should be the roue we take is it adds to our own defense. By helping other countries that are in trouble economically, politically, or militarily, we become allies with them and are less susceptible to attack from them or anyone else that is allied to them. Peter Shraeder stated ? It contributes to the broad cooperative relations which permit the presence of U.S. facilities or access by U.S. forces to host country facilities in time of threat to mutual interests thereby reducing the cost of U.S. defense? (100). Also as our allies they will then support us if we need their help with something later. William Schneider Jr. says ?Economic and Military aid programs are effective and enhance our national security? (97). He also said, ?Foreign assistance is one of the most cost effective means at our disposal for enhancing our national security? (98). Ignorant people just see the billions of dollars being spend on foreign aid assume we are doing the wrong thing, however; foreign aid actually lowers our defense spending. President Reagan said that foreign aid improves our own defense. ?In his 1985 State of the Union Address Reagan said ?dollar for dollar, our security assistance contributes as much to global security as our own defense budget,?? (6). Shreider concurred that foreign aid also helped the United States. He added, ?Security assistance contributes to the security of the U.S. and at the same time lowers defense costs? (100). The experts have all said that increasing the United States? global involvement lowers defense costs and increases our defense, so there is no down side.

By making foreign countries in turmoil a secure place again we also protect the United States citizens living there. One of the major concerns during the crisis at Grenada was ?There were 1000 U.S. citizens living on Grenada? (143). If there is a strong economy, stable government, and peace they will have a much better chance of surviving. Also helping these countries protects industries of the United States over there. This allows the business to prosper and increase the United States? economy. Shraeder said ?It provides to the U.S. and foreign buyer the benefits of consolidated planning and economics of scale? (100). Also by creating peace trade increases with the country which increases the United States? economy. Kennith Thompson said ?We moved to formulate a coherent, consistent foreign policy in which the entire range of assistance programs,…, are used effectively to further U.S. political, economic, and humanitarian interests, and used to enhance our security and the security of our friends around the world,?(64). Foreign aid not only protects and rebuilds foreign nations, but protects United States citizens, industries, and greatly benefits the United States economy.
The only way to predict the future is to study the past, and by looking at the United States? past it is easy to see there has been a lot of switching back and forth between intervention and isolation. As a country the United States has been at its best during the times of intervention. A particularly strong time was during the Reagan administration. Charles Krauthammer noted ?President Reagan?s 1985 State of the Union Address has become known as the Reagan Doctrine? (63). The Reagan Doctrine set a standard and made a strong statement about the United States. Charles Krauthammer added ?The president pledged American support to those who are risking their lives on every continent from Afghanistan to Nicaragua to defy Soviet supported aggression and secure rights which have been ours from birth? (63). After this America couldn?t back down from any communist movements. ?This policy makes strategic sense, since it is a relatively risk free way for the U.S. to challenge the newest, most vulnerable soviet acquisitions? (63) stated Charles Krauthammer. There were a few problems with creating a democracy in foreign areas like Iran and Nicaragua, but for the most part this was a sound strategy. Charles Krauthammer added, ?The reason there were problems with this strategy in Iran and Nicaragua was for a transition to democracy the material condition must be there; it must work with what exists on the ground? (65). With the Reagan Doctrine in place the United States helped many countries avoid communism, but it neglected the countries that needed aid for other reasons. Reagan recognized this and a new document was created to help nations for whatever reason they might have. At this point ?the Reagan Doctrine has a companion, the Third Force Strategy. Together they amount to be a broad and consistent American commitment to freedom in both communist and noncommunist worlds? (141). With this we could now aid any foreign country that was in trouble which gave us an extra edge. Charles Krauthammer says, ? This doctrine too makes strategic sense because democracies are the most reliable allies of the west and likely to remain so? (65). He noted ? Chile is an example of a successful third Force strategy? (65). Chile was becoming communist, but they also had many other problems with the citizens of the nation. They didn?t understand what was going on and were being taken advantage of. John Spanier related ?In the case of Chile, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger was reported to have said ?I don?t see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its own people,?? (32). We intervened and helped Chile form a strong government and fix their economy. The success that first showed that intervention worked was in El Salvador. ?During the first three years of the Reagan administration, El Salvador was the key Central American Issue in Washington? (12). They saw this as a test to see if they could fix a nation in turmoil and create a democracy. They saw the problems and devised a way to help them. First they had to clearly prove there was a need for the United States to intervene. ?There was an atmosphere of violent uncertainty: of the Prime Minister of the country put under house arrest then freed by demonstrators who were attacked,? and ?Leading figures and cabinet members were being executed? (143). With this going on they felt immediate action was absolutely necessary. ?The United States needed to give military aid as a ?shield? against gorilla attack? (12). This way while they were holding off the fighting they could concentrate on helping to set up a new government and get it back on track. They could force the opposition back, and ? at the same time, the United states would quietly encourage economic and political reforms that would improve the stability and legitimacy of the government? (12). This was a complete success and led to the Reagan Doctrine because now they knew they had the power to step in and rebuild. ? In 1984, El Salvador held its first free election in 50 years? (13). With the two doctrines of intervention in place America began to once again strive. James Cooney stated ?The rebuilding of the U.S. military power and the recovery of the American economy took place during the Reagan years? (108). It is obvious that with intervention being Reagan?s chief issue this was directly responsible for the turn around of America. Cooney related that ?He [Reagan] said his policy was successful because the people became proud of their country and there was a consensus that the United States should play an active role in the world? (108). So looking back at the past we see one of the great times in our history came at a peak of global intervention, and this is a trend that followed every period of intervention.
Throughout all of our American history great leaders have become recognized for their efforts in promoting intervention. It has always been the best policy to advance and improve our nation and by having intervention as our policy for foreign affairs we gained many allies. ?From the first stirrings of nationhood in the middle of the eighteenth century, Americans fixed their gaze outward? (24) stated John Spanier. Many Presidents that are well respected today were strong supporters of intervention. Wodrow Wilson spent his time after World War I going across the country and trying to get the United States to join the League of Nations so we could have an even stronger influence on the world. James Cooney stated ?Wilson believed the country should also be more active in international relations, and he insisted that the Monroe Doctrine be officially recognized in the League of Nations Treaty? (52). After each period of intervention people got tired of taking care of the world and receded into an isolation movement. This always resulted in a slump and ended when we returned to intervention. Spencer tells, ?After the traumatic experience of the experiment in self containment during the early New Deal years, U.S. policy makers vowed never to return to isolationism? (33). This is a great example of where we try to concentrate on our selves but our economy and power suffers until we revert back to intervention. Glenn Hastedt stated:
?Washington?s Farewell address urged Americans to ?steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world? and asserted that ?Europe has a set of primary interests which to us have none or very remote interests. The global depression of the 1930?s, Hitler?s rise to power, the outbreak of WWII, and the constant outward thrust of post WWII communism are proof that Washington?s advice is no longer relevant.? 52
At the beginning of our nation we needed to concentrate on holding ourselves together with a strong central government, but now we must focus outward. We create a safer environment for the entire world by having intervention as our foreign policy. President Truman was also a strong supporter of intervention to increase our strength and to protect the less fortunate. Spanier noted, ?Truman said it ?must? be U.S. policy to support all nations seeking to resist ?attempted subjugation by all armed minorities or by outside pressures? (27). It was very important to stop the soviets and prevent communism and still is today. We needed to rescue any nation being invaded by a communistic country to prevent it from spreading. ?Blocking soviet expansionist thrusts was crucial, but U.S. leaders also undertook to restructure the capitalist system on stronger foundations? (33) added Spanier. It is clear that are greatest moments in history were under leader who believed in intervention, and when we attempted isolation we all suffered.

Looking at the policies presently in effect the future course of action can be determined by their success. Many of the policies used today are working a do provide a safer environment for the entire world. First there are a number of programs the United States has installed to benefit less fortunate nations. John Lovell states, ?These programs enable eligible countries to purchase U.S. equipment, spare parts, and training? (64). This helps rebuild the other nations and increases our economy at the same time. By increasing these programs both the other nations and us benefit. Kennith Thompson adds, ? Because the Administration and Congress, working together, have been able to increase the levels of security assistance during the past few years, we now have ongoing effective programs that are beginning to show clear signs of success? (99). These programs are proven to be working everywhere they have been implemented. John Lovell confirmed, ?The programs we have implemented are effective? (64-65). It would be ridiculously stupid for us not to continue to not only use but increase these programs. William Schneider Jr. states, ?Foreign assistance?assists us in the effective implementation of our foreign policy objectives, promotes global economic and political freedom, and reflects the humanitarian concerns of the American people? (98). We make ourselves stronger and gain support by helping others. We are making a huge difference in the lives of so many people and improving our own self-image by having an interventionist mind set. Cooney says, ?The emphasis in American foreign policy is on ?trouble avoidance,?? (104). Contrary to popular belief the majority of what we do is not to go bomb some radical group trying to invade a vulnerable nation. We concentrate on making those nations stronger and more solid, and working peace treaty out with hostile nations. This way we don?t have to worry about wars and will indirectly cut back on defense spending. Peter Shraeder adds, ?It [intervention] furnishes tangible evidence of our support for the independence and territorial integrity of our friends and allies thus deterring possible aggression and promoting stability? (100). Everything we have been doing in the problem areas of the world has been working to slow down and stop fighting. John Spanier states, ?there is a definite and sustained progress in Central America and throughout the hemisphere? (98). Kennith Thompson adds, ?There have also been modest positive developments in our quest for peace in the Middle East? (98). If the current policies are successful there is no reason to change, and actually there is cause to increase the involvement.
With looking at the past?s problems and successes and observing our current success the only logical procedure would be to continue a strong foreign policy of intervention. Glenn Hastedt has observed that, ?Each movement toward isolation is less complete than the one before it, and each movement toward intervention is deeper than the one before it? (26). This shows that although Americans do eventually get tired of a foreign policy of intervention and fall into isolation they are recognizing it doesn?t work quicker and are happy with intervention longer. Our current Secretary of State Madeline Albright recently gave a speech on foreign affairs. ?First she warned against a retreat to protectionism? (3). She also said, ?Developing countries must be helped to build the institutional capacity they need to manage transparent capital flow and to assist their populations with coping with change. I see here a particular role for the state department? (3-4). It is our responsibility as the only nation capable of helping to do whatever we can to support nations in need. Henry Kissinger stated, ?In the post cold war, The U.S. is the only super power with the capacity to intervene in every part of the world? (1). With this power we would be very selfish not to use it. Kissinger added, ?The attitude of the U.S. is crucial, for it alone has the capacity to function in much the same way that Great Britain once did in maintaining the European balance of power? (8). Not only is it our duty it is the American way. Americans are brought up with a lot of pride that we are the most superior nation in the world, and because of us many nations are able to survive. ?America would not be true to itself if it did not insist on the universal applicability of the idea of liberty? (3) finished Kissinger. All our lives we have been told freedom is an unalienable right and should be had from birth, so as the dominant nation of the world it is our responsibility to do everything in our power to make that dream that we have achieved a reality for the entire world. Glenn Hastedt states, ?Today the need to create a stable world order lies at the heart of the challenges facing U.S. foreign policy? (22). Intervention is also a key to protecting ourselves because it creates allies and stops fighting. Hastedt says, ?Protecting and promoting American interests requires an activist foreign policy? (84). Intervention can stop potential crisis before they get a chance to grow. By getting to the root of the problem and extinguishing it you can prevent the Iraqs and the Kosovos. ?Peter Shraeder states, ?It helps us alleviate the economic and social distress that breeds domestic violence and invites external subversion- particularly important for countries whose necessary military expenditures would otherwise impose severe strains on their economies? (100). He also said, ?It enables our friends and allies to obtain military equipment and training to defend their independence and territorial integrity, permitting them to undertake responsibilities which we would have had to assume? (109). The most important reason isolation could never work is because anything that happens in the rest of the world directly affects us. Glenn Hastedt states, ?Events abroad inevitably impinge the denial of their relevance is self defeating? (83). The only policy for our future for us to remain a prominent nation is one of intervention.
Intervention is the only logical foreign policy for us to have. It increases our defense, and it protects our people and industries in other countries. In the past during times of intervention our country has prospered and during times of isolation we have struggled. Our policies and programs are a great success everywhere they are used, and everything points to a future of continued use. It is our responsibility as the only superpower to provide liberty to the nations in need. Also everything elsewhere effects America, so without intervention as our foreign policy we are just hurting ourselves. It is easy to see that intervention is the only possible choice as a foreign policy.

Will I experience the Polar Night and the Northern Lights?
The end of the polar night is during the time when the conference is held. While the sun cannot be seen, the sky is still lit up to some extent for a few hours a day.
The northern lights are a frequent sight in Tromsø during this time of year. If the weather is good with clear skies, you will most likely get to see green and purple light dancing over the starry sky.
For the best view of the Aurora Borealis, we recommend to travel outside of the city centre.
For more information on the northern lights in Tromsø, check out Visit Tromsø or Visit Norway.

Marty Singer, retired cop and occasional private detective, is invited down to Virginia's horse and wine country, along with his girlfriend Julie Atwater, by her friend Ruth Colvin, who runs a boarding stable. They're expecting a relaxing vacation. But Ruth has a reason for asking them. Her farm is in trouble. Someone has been sabotaging her operation – knocking down fences so the horses can get loose. In the competitive world of horse people, only a little doubt about the safety of her facilities could ruin her. That's how The Bitter Fields begins.
Then murder intervenes. One of Ruth's employees, a charming polo player named Freddie Farrar, is shot to death. Marty can't help but suspect there's a connection between the crimes. Who could hate Ruth so much? There are suspects – a bigoted old lady who wants some of her land for a burial plot, a rich young woman who'd been having an affair with Freddie, and that woman's husband – who has been arrested, but whose guilt Marty doubts.
All this is played out against the backdrop of the changing south, where history is a living presence, opinions are in transition, and people often cover up their real thoughts. One thing I liked about this book was that although it seemed at first to involve a lot of tired southern stereotypes, those characters were treated sympathetically and allowed to have their say – and to change. It all got kind of heart-warming in the end. Except for the killing, of course.
