At Sony's press conference at Paris Games Week, the company revealed two new titles for its upcoming virtual reality technology PlayStation VR. The technology is expected to launch sometime in 2016 in a wave of virtual reality devices that include the much anticipated Oculus Rift from Google and the Vive from PC developer and distributor Valve.
The first title is a spin off of the recent PlayStation 4 exclusive adventure game Until Dawn, titled Until Dawn: Rush of Blood. The games, both developed by Supermassive Games, seem to bear little similarity to each other beyond brand and in game assets.
While Until Dawn was an excellent cinematic horror game with gameplay in the vein of Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls and the more recent output of developer Telltale Games, Until Dawn: Rush of Blood appears to be a literal rollercoaster: an on rails experience with no player controlled navigation (albeit one with a few first person shooter elements thrown in). It remains to be seen how much of a story will be included in the spin off, but given the fact that Until Dawn's entire point was its narrative, it'd be disappointing if this game suffered from a threadbare story.
In a post on the PlayStation Blog, the game's executive producer Simon Harris described the title. "Until Dawn: Rush of Blood is a descent into madness, taking you on a terrifying rollercoaster ride of thrills and scares in a fast-paced, arcade-style shooter."
"We're incredibly excited to be developing for PlayStation VR as this allows us to bring games to PS4 with a level of immersion and involvement never before experienced by players."
"When we first started working on Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, we were still in the middle of development on Until Dawn, but it was clear to us that the world and characters we were creating would be perfect to expand into new experiences. As we established compelling gameplay for VR, we were able to combine that with a journey through many familiar aspects of Blackwood Pines, but from a horrifying new perspective!"
The second title is from Crysis developer Crytek. Titled Robinson: The Journey, the game is a science fiction take on the sort of deserted island survival story popularized by Daniel Defoe's 1719 classic Robinson Crusoe. It also takes inspiration from a pair of VR demos Crytek created to test the technology titled Back to Dinosaur Island.
According to Elijah Freeman, the game's executive producer, in a post on the PlayStation Blog accompanying the announcement, "In Robinson, you assume the role of a young boy who has crash-landed on a mysterious planet, and must become a pioneer of sorts as you explore your surroundings, interact with the world around you, and discover amazing secrets at every turn. I can't go into too many specifics right now, but that's the (very) high level overview!"
"As a studio, we're really excited to be creating Robinson for PlayStation VR, and believe it's the perfect platform for what we're striving to achieve with the game. But what exactly are we striving to achieve? Good question."
"A lot of the reaction we received to the Back to Dinosaur Island demos was about how authentic the environments felt — the foliage, the lighting, the dinos, etc. People really seemed to respond positively to the level of visual fidelity, and we do believe that this can set a VR experience out from the crowd and take the feeling of being present to a whole new level."
"So, to return to my own question, what are we striving to achieve with Robinson: The Journey? You could say it's about recreating that level of authenticity on a much, much grander scale. That means not just making something visually stunning, but also telling a story that is emotionally engaging and which resonates with players beyond the game world."
"It's a bold ambition, we know. But just as PlayStation VR will invite players to enjoy gaming in an entirely new way, I think it should also inspire us as developers to create ambitious experiences worthy of this amazing new technology."
Neither of the two games have been given a release window.

In our society, $2 can buy a cup of coffee or two candy bars. It can also be used to go to a cheap movie - the town I live in has a dollar theater, where it is only $2 to see an evening show. $2 bills are no longer being printed, but they used to be a form of currency in America.
Every twenty-seconds a child dies from water related diseases. Unsanitary conditions kill 1.8 million people each year and more than 1.5 million of those deaths are children under the age of 5.
I don't know about you, but that breaks my heart. There's an answer to this problem and it doesn't cost more than $2 a month. Drilling wells.
A well can cost thousands of dollars, but the Clean Water Movement can make a good well for $500 and saves lives. If 250 people donate $2 a month, we can dig a clean well a month. I personally know the President of this movement and he doesn't make a dime from this. Dustin is all about giving to others and providing clean water. I don't want to preach to you, but you should really check out the website:
Here's a little clip from the local news:
Anyone can give $2 a month - I do and I hope that you can too. :)

Beautiful Classical music in a friendly and relaxed space
(made in Bristol)
We're determined to make what we do as inclusive as possible, and that's the main reason for organising a festival with a format that lets you experience excellent Classical music in an environment relaxed enough to allow anyone who's interested in our music to feel welcome.
Furthermore, under the name
Really Classical
we have been pursuing additional outreach and education work in Bristol and London for the last three years with the organisations listed below.
We are extremely grateful to our sponsors who have given so generously to fund these projects.
If you are able to help in any way with funding these, please get in contact by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
Over 2014 and 2015 we have raised almost £4000 for
The Camden Society's Great Escape
camping week for people with disabilities.
This year we are doing an extended project when some Really Classical musicians will team up with Camden Society musicians and singer-guitarist Andy Walpole to share each other's music. We will also have an art and music session making artwork inspired by Classical pieces. More details on our performance of what we've made coming soon!
Last May we gave a concert for
The Gate
, the arts centre attached to
Yarrow Housing
, a west London organisation looking after people with learning disabilities.
We are also planning a large project for January 2017 which will involve Really Classical musicians making some songs with musicians from The Gate, as well as a session making art inspired by Classical music. We will record what we have made in a Hackney studio to make a music video.
Click here
to see a clip from a trial session at The Gate early in 2016.
This May we gave a workshop for GCSE music students from
olingbroke Academy
, a school in Wandsworth.
We'll played a selection of Classical pieces, discussed different types of composition (concertos, sonatas, symphonies), talked about Classical harmony, and put all the music firmly in the historical context of a time marked by the French revolution and Napoleonic wars.
Details are currently being finalised for additional projects and new partnerships 2017. These will be announced very soon.

Institution Quraysh
Institution Quraysh ("iQ"), sits as the overreaching canopy establishing the common elements within a holding company structure that allows for efficient multi-lateral connectivity between different highly specialised legal, research and policy businesses. It is the central hub to which everything connects.
iQ oversees all aspects of the business, ensuring full connectivity between distinct professional services and a wide spectrum of separate geographical locations.
The legal entities of falling under the ambit of iQ are Institution Quraysh WLL, Quraysh Ltd and Ilaf Quraysh with Quraysh WLL being the central structural point between the three separate businesses.
iQ also works with MBR Legal a separately established and managed law firm. Click here to find out more about MBR Legal.
The nexus of dynamics around the Rule of Law, economics and open, accountable politics needs particular study and concretization by the younger generations hoping to understand, and contribute to, policy change. Unprecedented legal, political and economic changes (and failures) around the world have had an impact on many aspects of global life. In Arab countries, the 2011 youth-led popular uprisings, removal of leaders, new constitutional arrangements and ambitious development initiatives have become global focal points of contestation and pivotal roles for law and policy. It is now our conviction that there is much at stake for global societies and future generations.
"Innovation Platform for Global Change ("iPlatform") is an independent initiative set up by iQ in the aftermath of the generational revolutions of the so called "Arab Spring" with a surgical aim of innovating generational dialogue, fostering sound laws and incubating policy-for-impact. Philosophically, iPlatform seeks to establish the epistemological foundation for a new emerging social contract, The Generational Social Contract. iPlatform's overarching mission is to engage young leadership capacity in both understanding and harnessing generational transitions by finding practical solutions and political economic openings to pressing Rule of Law and governance challenges through transnational and collaborative policy impact.
The initiative seeks to engage specifically with students, mainly graduate, and young thinkers, by utilizing technology and building on an existing network of top international reformers and leading scholars including lawyers, policy thinkers, governments and industry, from universities, think-tanks, government bodies, and international institutions who can empower and inspire thought leadership in students to address access to justice issues in the Middle East and other developing countries.
The iPlatform embraces the following key objectives:

What's the word?
Monthly spoken word event features open mic and poets
Say Word returned for their sixth installment on Nov. 10 at 80th and Ivy to bring together people from all walks to celebrate and educate the poetic art form that is spoken word.
Say Word takes place on the first Tuesday of every month at the bar on 17th Avenue.
The event was open to everyone and included 10 open mic spots with a finishing headliner, who this week was Calgarian Priscille Bukasa.
This week was full of raw emotion, talent, humour, and passion.
Many of the artists spoke about their family and friends, and how they have influenced their lives.
Bukasa had many pieces about her African roots and how they have moulded her into the woman she has become today.
Talking with attendees following the event, many mentioned that this was their first spoken-word event, and they would highly recommend coming out to a Say Word event to gain a friendly and educational spoken-word experience.
Beni Johnson and Julian Smith with Three Piece Productions, along with DJ C-SIK, helped to present the show.
Johnson said he was excited to have Bukas perform because she was "definitely someone I've been waiting for to push their passion for poetry to the next step. I have been happy to help facilitate this growth in people." The next Say Word event will be held on Dec. 1. Tickets and tables can be reserved via contact with the venue hosts, 80th and Ivy Modern Kitchen on 17th Ave.

There's trouble brewing in the land of "Mad Max" — and it has nothing to do with Tina Turner and the notorious Thunderdome.
Environmental activists in Namibia are accusing the cast and crew of "Mad Max: Fury Road," the latest film in the franchise starring Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy, of destroying parts of the ancient Namib Desert in southern Africa. Filmmakers spent six months last year shooting in an area of the Namib recently declared the Dorob National Park. What they left behind, activists claim, is a previously pristine landscape irrevocably changed by humans.
Local activists say the habitats of lizards, geckos and chameleons were also heavily damaged.
In response to the allegations, Namibian Coast Conservation and Management hired ecological scientist Joh Henschel to compile a report on the impacted regions. He tells the AFP, "NACOMA contracted me as consultant about the tracks left by the 'Mad Max' film crew and yes — some areas in the Namib Desert were destroyed. In one area a ploughing device was used." Henschel also told the Guardian that there was little oversight prior to filming as to what the full impact of the shoot would be on the sensitive region.
"It all happened without an environmental impact assessment," he said, "so it's difficult to assess the extent of the impact without a baseline."
The Namibian government decried the media reports, with the Ministry of Environment's permanent secretary Simeon Negumbo saying that all cleanup efforts by the film crew were to his group's satisfaction.
"The experienced, dedicated team used tried and tested methods like vehicle and hand-dragged fishing nets, tyres, brooms, chains, ropes and leaf blowers, which worked perfectly in the area," he said.
With Namibia protective of its lucrative film industry, it's unlikely that the "Mad Max" production will be fined for the destruction. However, future productions looking to shoot in the region will likely face a bit more scrutiny.
"Mad Max: Fury Road" is expected to hit theaters in 2014.

Abduct is a sci-fi horror movie from director Ilyas Kaduji starring Sienna Guillory, William B. Davis, Mhairi Calvey and more.
Crystal blacks out again and awakens to find Malvin dead. She flees in his truck down the highway, but a strange Man in
Black pursues her.
Panicking, Crystal calls the only person around who seems to know anything about the paranormal…the voice talking on the
radio Ridley Kay. At first, Ridley doesn't believe her story, but she shows up on his doorstep with a Man in Black on her heels.
Ridley calls upon three of his friends for help; the rancher Zane, Alien abduction researcher Laura and the Cherokee scientist
White Path. The Man in Black taunts the men over the phone and warns them that helping Crystal will be a death sentence.
His name is Alistair Cruel.
Unfazed, the three men resolve to help Crystal, but strange occurrences harass them. Electronic gear malfunctions. Ridley
begins suffering night terrors. They lose whole blocks of time; their memories wiped of any activities that might have
occurred. Alistair Cruel enjoys tormenting them with his unexplainable abilities. He teases them that no one truly
understands the paranormal, nor can they fight it.
Finally, the Man in Black lures Crystal to a far-away cave, teasing her with the possibility of saving Malvin. The men pursue
Crystal determined to defeat Alistair Cruel. Whether he's an alien, an entity or even a government agent, they don't know…
…but they're going to stake their lives to find out the Truth.

In rebuttal, intellectual property expert Michael Carroll stressed that the NIH proposed policy is "completely consistent with the scope of NIH's license and mission," and labeled the APS analysis a "fatally flawed house of cards."
Serving as adviser to the Alliance for Taxpayer Access, Carroll is an expert on intellectual property and Internet law, and teaches on the law faculty at Villanova University School of Law.
According to Professor Carroll, "The publishers acknowledge that NIH has always had license to reproduce, publish and archive the research results that it has paid for. It is explicit; there is no question about that."
"Their analysis is built on the false premise that NIH is making a change to copyright law. The fact is, in all cases, NIH grantees must give NIH a royalty-free, nonexclusive, and irrevocable license for the Federal government to 'reproduce, publish, or otherwise use' the material and to authorize others to do so for Federal purpose. Nothing in this proposal alters the terms of NIH's license and consequently, copyright law is not an obstacle for the NIH to move forward. Most of the APS counsel's other arguments rely on this misunderstanding of copyright law, and therefore, are inapplicable."
"Nothing could be more consistent with the federal purpose of NIH than collecting this research in an archive and allowing taxpayers and follow-on researchers to have access to the fruits of their NIH investment."
Rick Johnson, director of the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition added, "These 11th hour comments appear to have one intention. That is to throw seeds of confusion and legal doubt, where, in fact, there is none. The NIH proposal builds on current practice and it advances NIH's aim to use today's information technologies to fulfill its public mission. This is about special interests rising up to contravene NIH's efforts to serve and be accountable to the public."
Johnson cited the NIH mission as well as its commitment to public access to underscore the true purpose and legitimate scope of the NIH Enhanced Public Access directive, as shown below:
NIH Mission
The mission of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is to uncover new knowledge that will lead to better health for everyone. The sharing of ideas, data, and research findings is encouraged by NIH as a primary mechanism for accomplishing this important public mission.
Public Access
Advanced computing technologies and a networked environment are creating an infrastructure that supports new research capabilities, expands the ability to build upon and connect the work of many scientists, and facilitates exploration of new scientific frontiers. These technological advances are providing new opportunities to enhance access to and archive the scientific literature.

Pakistan Fashion Week London – Destination Lancaster
Lancaster house in London was taken over by 36 Pakistani Fashion Designers on 20th and 21st of May under the umbrella of Pakistan Fashion Week London. A show organized in collaboration of High Commission for Pakistan London and Riwayat. The event was not only participated by local fashion giants like Sana Safinaz and Maria B but also included a lineup of strong upcoming talented designers as well. Here is a glimpse of all that happened in this two day event and of course our favorites!
Day 1
The first day's first act kicked off with Shamaeel Ansari whose collection dominated the floor with rust, beige, orange and golden designs.
Agha Noor and Maria B's collection were also a part of the first act for day 1. Again a lot of beige and gold could be spotted here. Maria B's collection however had a different touch that night (2nd and 3rd image after this paragraph) as she tried to bring something new to the floor at Pakistan Fashion Week London, as opposed to her longstanding standard pieces.
The second part of the first day of Pakistan Fashion Week London comprised of six designers with the finale of the day by Sana Safinaz. One collection that we absolutely loved in this was by Sadaf Amir.
With sleek cuts, contemporary designs and absolutely amazing and trendsetting collection here is what Sana Safinaz had to bring to the floor (P.S Sana Safinaz was our best pick for Day 1):
Day 2
The second day of Pakistan Fashion Week London was divided into two parts with an official matinee of two acts with 12 designers and the grand finale of two acts with 12 designers. Let's start with the matinee first. So the matinee consisted of 12 designers including jewelry designs. We personally loved Sana Farooq's jewlry collection. Here is a glimpse of that:
P.S. We double checked – That is not rogue from X-Men.
Grand Finale of Pakistan Fashion Week London
The grand finale is where things started going even more exciting. With Cheena Chapra's vivid collection (Image 1) to Gogi by Hassan Riaz (Image 2), the night was filled with excitement. Personally loved what Hassan had to bring to the floor.
And of course, the final part of the grand finale was made even more exciting when Umar Saeed brought his "An Oud To Zainab Market" on the floor. The collection which was previously also showcased at QHShowcase earlier this year in Karachi, was taken to the international level on this fashion show in Lancaster. Long-story short it was nothing less of an excitement for the audience there. Here are some pictures from his showcase. Enjoy!!
We love Pakistani fashion, and its such an honor to see our designers showcasing their talent in front of an international audience. We hope that more events like these are arranged in the future so that our country can get the recognition it deserves in the world of fashion.

Laydon v. Mizuho Bank, Ltd. et al., No. 12-cv-03419 (S.D.N.Y.) involves allegations that numerous financial institutions conspired to manipulate the Yen London Interbank Offered Rate ("Yen-LIBOR") and the Euroyen Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate ("TIBOR") to financially benefit their derivatives positions. Multiple Defendants have pleaded guilty to criminal charges of price-fixing and paid billions in fines to regulators for this misconduct. Further, Defendant UBS AG was granted conditional leniency from the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") under the Antitrust Criminal Penalty Enhancement and Reform Act ("ACPERA") for admitting to anticompetitive conduct in the Euroyen market. The case is currently pending before Judge Daniels.
Sullivan et al. v. Barclays PLC et al., No. 13-cv-2811 (S.D.N.Y.) alleges that banks responsible for setting the Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("Euribor") conspired to fix Euribor-based derivatives prices to financially benefit their own trading positions. Defendants named in the lawsuit have paid billions in fines, including to the DOJ, European Commission ("EC"), and U.K. Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA"). They have also received conditional leniency under ACPERA and the equivalent EC programs for their admitted anticompetitive conduct in the Euribor market. The case is currently pending before Judge Castel.
Sonterra Capital Master Fund Ltd. et al. v. Credit Suisse Group AG et al., No. 15-cv-0871 (S.D.N.Y.) alleges that numerous global financial institutions conspired to fix the prices of financial derivatives priced based on the London Interbank Offered Rate for the Swiss Franc ("Swiss Franc LIBOR"). Defendants named in the lawsuit have settled with global regulators, paid billions in fines, and been granted leniency by the EC for engaging in anticompetitive conduct in the Swiss Franc LIBOR derivatives market. This includes an unlawful agreement to fix artificially wider bid-ask spreads in the over-the-counter market. Lowey Dannenberg was appointed sole interim class counsel in May 2015. The case is currently pending before Judge Stein.
Sonterra Capital Master Fund Ltd., et al. v.

Well, I finally tried making this loaf because my grandma was always telling me how great it was and I kept thinking, "but it's date loaf, how could it be?"
Date Nut Bread
It has since changed every notion I ever had about date nut bread. In fact, it is the best date nut bread I have ever had! Although, I have to admit that I've tweaked the recipe ever so slightly because, well, I just can't help myself.
Date Loaf
6 generations later…
I used pecans because I think they give it a nice flavour, but walnuts can be substituted. But it's the fresh lemon juice that really makes this loaf sing! And butter of course- butter always makes everything better. The point is that this loaf is made with real ingredients – the same ingredients that were around 6 generations ago. It is so comforting to know that my own grandma's great grandma was cooking the very same recipe over a century ago- it's such a special connection to the past.
So simple, but beyond delicious…testimony to the fact that this easy date loaf recipe has lived on for 6 generations! And you don't even have to love dates to love this light and fluffy old fashioned date nut bread.
And if you still want to take carrot loaf to the party as well, here is a fantastic Healthy Carrot Loaf Recipe:
Why not try another delicious bread recipe?

What is wood Veneer?
Veneer is a thin panel of wood that normally has a thickness of 5-6mm, while some can be as thin as paper. These Veneer panels are applied to chip board, MDF, and solid wood.
Many of us have the idea that only furniture from solid wood is superior quality as compared to that made with veneered panels. This is definitely not the case all the time as some very expensive and high grade furniture pieces are also made from MDF with a veneer applied as a top layer, while solid wood furniture can also be cheap.
Veneered MDF finds application primarily in interiors for homes, offices, and businesses. MDF will hold its form in any way it is used provided you keep it away from moisture. Carpenters must sand and smoothen the edges that gain a roughness after cutting. Doing this facilitates the easy application of paint or varnish or stains. Any stray fibers that can be released from the boards are also sanded away, and any secondary problems that may cause are taken care of.
Environmental Considerations
MDF is created from sawdust, wood chippings, recyclable wood offcuts and trees that are not suitable for other purposes. Usually, manufacturers will list the amount of recycled material has been used in the making of their products. As it is made from mostly recycled wood, MDF is a green product and is environmentally friendly.
Just like working with any wood material, correct protective gear should always be used when using MDF as its harmful fibers are known to cause health issues.

April 6, 2020 - Latest: What has happened to markets this year? by Darius McDermott
23rd November 2015
Compass Group delivers its full-year results on Tuesday and pre-tax profit is forecast to have edged higher with the firm's North American business likely to be the main contributor.
Keith Bowman, equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown Stockbrokers highlights that profits at the FTSE 100 listed contract catering giant are expected to have climbed by 1.6% to £1.77bn.
Looking ahead to this week's update, he anticipates that management outlook comments, particularly in relation to its 'Fast Growing & Emerging' business, are likely to head the agenda.
In July the firm said third quarter trading had been in line with expectations with good growth in North America, Europe and Japan offset by weakness in some emerging markets.
Graham Spooner, investment research analyst at The Share Centre, who has Compass on his 'buy' list says: "The market will be interested to hear if those trends have continued in the final quarter.
"A reshuffle amongst some of the executive team in September has resulted in a new finance director coming in so investors will be interested to see if there is any change in approach as a result. Future prospects for the order book and dividends will also be high up on the list of priorities for many following the company."
Compass's share price has gone sideways over the past year, moving up by 1% over the period and falling by 7% over six months. As such, Bowman notes: "Ahead of the results, analyst consensus opinion currently signifies a 'hold'."
B&Q and Screwfix owner Kingfisher, up 16% over the past 12 months, reports its third quarter results on Tuesday.
Investors will be expecting to hear that trading at the two chains in the UK has remained strong but Spooner says shareholders will perhaps be focusing more on the performance of the continental European operations, especially those in France, which he notes have been struggling of late.
Spooner, who has the stock down as a 'hold', says: "Any news on progress with the new CEO's strategy will also be of interest to the market as will any comments on how the company sees trading into the new year.
"Given the strength of the house-building sector there is an assumption that Kingfisher should benefit but competition and a strong pound may provide headwinds."
Bowman points out that French same store sales are expected to prove broadly flat, "having gained by 1.3% in the second quarter".
He adds: "UK same store sales could prove similar to Q2, up 5.5%, again led by its Screwfix business and continued consumer demand for using tradesman and not DIY. Adverse currency movements may have dragged further on profits, whilst an additional update on the DIY retailer's 'One Kingfisher' strategic plan could be forthcoming."
Ahead of the market report and with exposure to the still challenged French economy pitted against current management initiatives, Bowman says the analyst consensus opinion currently indicates that the firm's shares are a 'hold'.
Thursday sees FTSE 250 pub group Marston's post its full-year results. The firm, which owns among others the Pitcher & Piano bar chain, has enjoyed a 13% share price rise over the past 12 months.
"Investors will be looking to hear how trading has been since the last update in October when the company said its destination and premium pubs were performing in line with expectations," says Spooner.
With an above-average dividend yield of 4.6% shareholders will also be interested in where the final dividend is set and any comments about expected future dividend growth.
Spooner is upbeat on its prospects and has Marston's stock down as a 'buy', broadly echoing the consensus.
He says: "Marston's has announced plans to continue expanding its pub estate but investors will also note any plans to exploit the growth in sales of craft and premium beer in recent times."

Sister act has the Cavs competing for state title
By Gary R. Rasberry
The Coldwater girls' cross country team will have three pairs of sisters running
. . .
COLDWATER - It's not uncommon to see siblings compete together on an athletic team.
But for the Coldwater girls' cross country team, family is taken to a whole different level.
Among the 29 runners on the Cavaliers' roster this season, are seven pairs of sisters.
Three pairs of sisters, representing the Kanney, Seas and Brunswick families, will be part of the seven that run at the state cross country meet this week at National Trail Raceway in Hebron. Joining the sisters as part of the state team will be freshman Ashley Schoenherr.
"It's not a common thing, I'm sure," said Coldwater's coach Dan Pohlman. "It just so happens we have more sisters than (those going to state). It's a great thing.
"We always talk about that team bond, but you have some of that already covered with some of them because they live together."
For senior twins Leah and Alyssa Brunswick, everything has been going right.
"It's a great experience going with the whole team," said Alyssa Brunswick, who is making her fourth trip to the state meet. "Winning the MAC (Midwest Athletic Conference) title, beating Minster, then winning district and regional and maybe going for the gold."
"It's interesting," said Leah Brunswick, making her third trip to the state meet. "Even though we have family on the team, we all come together as one big family. It's quite nice."
Freshman Sarah Kanney is happy to have older sister Jill help her in her first varsity season.
"She's been there before," said Sarah, who finished second at the Tiffin regional on Saturday. "She can help me with stuff. It's great to have an older sister to be there for you. She has more experience."
Junior Jill Kanney will be making her second trip to state after getting a late start in cross country.
"Until my freshman year, I was playing volleyball. I got into it because of my sisters," said Jill. "... It's nice to have Sarah finally on the high school team because we can always push each other in practice and talk about stuff going on."
For Christina and Lauren Seas, family running is nothing new. Both parents were prolific runners in high school and college. Older brother Mike is a key runner for the Coldwater boys' team that also will head to state, and younger brother Dan won the MAC junior high race this year.
"It's always fun having your family members out there with you," said Christina, a sophomore. "It makes it more fun."
Lauren, in her first year on the varsity as a freshman, is glad to make the trip to state and run with her older sister.
"It's really fun being a part of the varsity team," said Lauren. "We've all worked really hard to get to this point."
The goal for this team is a state title.
And why not?
The Lady Cavaliers ended Minster's hold on the conference title this season and then went on to win the Spencerville District and Tiffin Regional championships.
For the Brunswick twins, there is a bit of a battle between the two in who can finish first.
"Sometimes, we'll be going back and forth, trying to beat one another," said Alyssa Brunswick. "But it's nice having us close, sometimes running next to each other and helping each other get through the pain."
Leah is glad that her sister will be right beside her at the start of the race on Saturday.
"We always said, at the beginning of the year, we wanted to run together in our last year," said Leah.

It is not true, there is no random without your decision. You need to decide how to develop the city, where, when and with whom to be friends and who is your enemies. It directly affects how successful you are, how fast you pass the trials, etc. If you have gotten far enough in the game and then decide to replay, you'll notice that the obtained experience gives you the opportunity to more competent development.
It seems to me that I do not affect the gameplay, everything is decided for me randomly.

Taos Trophy- bur disappointed
The shoe is not wide enough for the Velcro to cross securely across the ankle and shorter than usual. The next size up was too sloppy. I am a little disappointed in the shoe. Customer online service was prompt and efficient
Taos sandals
I have been wearing these sandals for years. They are sublimely comfortable and stand up to constant use.
Taos Trophy sandal
I already had a pair of these sandals and decided to try to find another pair because they are so comfortable and look good. Very glad I could find them online and the service from Green's was first class.

G.R. Wilson here!
One thing I've realized since writing Right Behind You is that I can't succeed in my writing career alone: there's much more to the long process of getting a book together for publication than just writing it. For instance, a book needs art, and, so does a website!
So today I'd like to focus on thanking one individual who's provided me with the snazzy banner for my site.
Her name is ZaraWalker, and you can find her excellent website logo design service (among other helpful services!) here on Fiverr.com. Just browse through her gallery and reviews of completed orders for her logo/banner design gig, and you'll get the idea. She's provided quality website banners for many dozens of Fiverr buyers. And guess what? You get true professional quality work from her for only $5!
I needed some minor alterations to the original product Zara sent me, and she made my modifications within twenty-four hours. I really can't recommend her service enough, if you need a logo for your company, product, or website. She's not paying me anything to say any of this, by the way, and neither is Fiverr.
(I offer my own writing services through Fiverr, by the way!)
In future blog posts I'll talk more about other people who have helped me in putting together my books and my author platform. But for today: thank you to ZaraWalker, for the awesome logo!
Till next time,
-G.R. Wilson

Family Carers Ireland presented their Pre-Budget 2017 Submission, titled 'Achieving Fairness for Family Carers' to Government this morning at 10.30 am in Buswell's Hotel, Dublin 2.
Family Carers Ireland received a written commitment from each political party during Election 2016, that if elected, they would publish a refreshed National Carers' Strategy, backed by dedicated funding to support its implementation. Today Family Carers Ireland are urging Government to stand by those promises to publishing a renewed National Carers' Strategy setting out a clear action plan for 2017-2021, backed with ring-fenced funding and to prioritise key issues facing Ireland's 200,000 family carers in Budget 2017.
Family carers are Ireland's unseen workforce, contributing 6.2 million hours of unpaid care each week; saving the State €4 billion each year. Respite care is universally regarded as one of the key support interventions to support the health and wellbeing of carers and is critical to the sustainability of caregiving efforts. Despite its importance, funding cuts, staff shortages and bed closures as a result of inspections have greatly reduced respite availability and denied many carers this vital support. Respite must be demand rather than resource led.
Today's presentation heard from family carer Mary McDonnell from Cork. Mary (78) has provided full-time care for her daughter Sinead for over 50 years. Sinead is a person with serious physical disabilities – she has profound Cerebral Palsy (diagnosed at just 10 months), has Scoliosis and is a wheel-chair user. Sinead's care is now the definition of 'round-the-clock'. Increased medication has meant a special diet and constant feeding supervision. She is in constant pain. Mary, as an older carer, finds her caring role challenging and bureaucracy very tough trying to access vital supports and services in particular respite.
The submission titled 'Achieving Fairness for Family Carers' calls on Government to ensure that family carers are not financially burdened as a result of caring for their loved ones and that the resources, services and supports necessary are in place for them to care with confidence and safety in the home. It also asks that the estimated 56,118* young carers (under 18) are recognised as a vulnerable group with a need for cross-departmental support.
Family Carers Ireland presented a number of recommendations to Government that will make the best use of allocated budgets for family carers. The Government will be asked to make five key commitments for family carers in Budget 2017:
- Publish, fund and implement Phase Two of the National Carers' Strategy.
- Ensure family carers are not financially burdened as a result of their caring role. Family carers have been adversely affected by cuts in health and social care spending during recent years of austerity. Family Carers are asking Government to increase carers' Carers Allowance, Carers Benefit and Disability Allowance and reduce prescription charges.
- Create a more 'carer friendly' health service, eliminating red tape and delays and introduce flexible and appropriate respite options with equality of access.
- Recognise the home as a centre of care and the role of family carers as 'care partners' who provide over 6 million hours of unpaid care each week.
- Invest in the future of young carers, many of whom miss out on education and remain hidden from services due to fear, family loyalty, stigma, and not knowing where to get help.
Despite the enormity of their contribution, family carers are struggling. Each year vital respite, home, day and residential care services are reduced as a result of a €2.7 billion cut in health and social care spending since 2009. While efforts have been made to reverse some of these cuts imposed during the economic crisis, with Ireland's economy now in recovery Family Carers Ireland are calling on the Government to prioritise family carers.
Family Carers Ireland will hold Government to account in Budget 2017 and expect that the promises made in the run up to Election 2016 and committed to in the Programme for Government will be delivered.

Family Carers Ireland is the new, merged organisation of The Carers Association with Caring for Carers launched in January.
A written commitment was given to Family Carers Ireland that if elected they would publish a refreshed National Carers' Strategy by Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil, Labour, Sinn Fein, People Before Profit Alliance and the Social Democrats.

Breaking News: Diahann Carroll Withdraws from Upcoming Broadway Revival of A RAISIN IN THE SUN, LaTanya Richardson Jackson Steps in
BroadwayWorld has confirmed that acclaimed actress Diahann Carroll has withdrawn from the upcoming Broadway revival of Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun, directed by Kenny Leon, and also starring Denzel Washington. LaTanya Richardson Jackson will assume the role of Lena Younger in the production, currently in rehearsals.
A RAISIN IN THE SUN will begin performances Saturday evening, March 8 at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre (247 West 47 Street). Opening night is Thursday, April 3. The 14-week limited engagement run is scheduled through Sunday, June 15.
The production will also star Academy Award-nominee Sophie Okonedo (Hotel Rwanda) making her Broadway debut as Ruth Younger, Tony Award-winner Anika Noni Rose (Caroline, or Change) as Beneatha Younger, David Cromer as Karl Lindner, Sean Patrick Thomas as Joseph Asagai, Jason Dirden (Fences) as George Murchison as and Tony Award-nominee Stephen McKinley Henderson (Fences) as Bobo.
Originally produced in 1959, Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun was the first play written by an African American woman to be produced on Broadway, where it won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play.
Set on Chicago's South Side, A Raisin in the Sun revolves around the divergent dreams and conflicts within three generations of the Younger family: son Walter Lee ( Washington), his wife Ruth (Okonedo), his sister Beneatha (Rose), his son Travis (Jenkins) and matriarch Lena, called Mama (Jackson). When her deceased husband's money comes through, Mama dreams of moving to a new home and a better neighborhood in Chicago. Walter Lee, a chauffeur, has other plans: buying a liquor store and being his own man. Beneatha dreams of medical school. The tensions and prejudice they face form this seminal American drama.

Here are a few questions and answers from a transcript of an interview I did for an online directory.
Don McCarron.
What do you think makes a good skin clinic?
Apart from the obvious things like scrupulous professionalism a good skin clinic should always put the client first. It sounds like a throwaway phrase but it's true. If you consider the clients' needs and wishes above all else then everything else will be in place.
Of course it helps if, rather than having to decide on this ethos and work out how to implement it, that's just the sort of person you are. And, luckily, that's just the sort of person Allison has always been throughout her medical career.
What's your clinic's USP?
Without a doubt it's Allison.
I don't think "Unique selling point" is really an appropriate phrase for our clinic. We don't really "sell" in a marketing sense. Our clients come to us largely by recommendation. And that's entirely because of Allison.
People just love her. She's so professional and yet so gentle and personal. She's really interested in each person as an individual and the results speak for themselves.
Any plans for expansion?
Yes. In June we're opening a new clinic within Bent's House of Beauty in Huddersfield. There will be a small family of services all under one roof including The Vinery Hair Salon. It's a beautiful building and the emphasis is very much on quality.
We'll be splitting our week between Barnsley and Huddersfield. My daughter will be joining us to take care of receiving clients updating records etc. We can only expand so far as we're limited by Allison's available time and we won't allow our service to be compromised.
Do you have any new treatments on offer?
We introduced Dermapen microneedling to Barnsley and are still the only clinic offering this service.
We have two exciting treatments involving microneedling in the pipeline one of which is a hair restoration programme that's backed up by some very conclusive trial results. We'll be running a pilot programme soon with very limited places at a special low price that will continue as long as the client stays with us.
What about the failures of clinical cosmetic procedures that we see in the media?
I've actually covered this subject in an article on our website. Bad results are down to one (or a combination) of five things.
The first is plastic surgery which has nothing to do with us. All of our treatments are non-surgical.
The second is pioneering treatments, again nothing to do with us. Our treatments only involve tried, tested and safe procedures.
The third is permanent treatments. Unfortunately celebrities like Mickey Rourke, Pete Burns, and Lesley Ash are stuck with the results of their treatments because they're permanent. We only offer treatments with temporary results. This gives our clients the opportunity to adjust their look according to their wishes.
The fourth is bad aestheticians. It's an unfortunate fact that there are bad aestheticians out there performing the wrong procedures in the wrong ways.
And finally there are bad client choices. What you may think is a failure of a cosmetic procedure may actually be what the client requested. If Allison doesn't think something is right for a client she won't do it.
What's your position on Botox parties?
I think we have to determine what the words "botox party" mean before making that judgement. If it's a sensible group presentation followed by detailed individual consultations then it may be ok.
If alcohol is to be present during the decision making or procedures or the prescriber is administering botox on the spot then I would say stay well away.
Proper consultation is an essential part of any medical cosmetic procedure and it should be taken seriously. You're going to be walking around with the results of your treatment for at least a few months. You owe it to yourself to get professional, one-to-one consultation in the proper environment.
What's your favourite treatment?
Microneedling. It's just so powerful and versatile.
We want our skin to be how it should be, not how it is, and that's how microneedling works its magic. If your skin is keeping out the elements and protecting you then your body assumes it's doing its job and is satisfied. Microneedling triggers the body's wound response and tricks it into producing fresh collagen and elastin. This makes the skin younger, firmer and smoother by a completely natural process.
Microneedling is great for reducing the appearance of scars and can also trigger hair to start growing again.
Originally microneedling was performed using rollers such as Dermaroller but it has moved on considerably. We now use powered devices that deliver the needles vertically causing practically no damage to the epidermis. These devices also have the advantage of variable needle depths and delivery speeds that can be adjusted to suit the area of the face.
We chose Dermapen as the best microneedling device.
