For major public media junkies, here's the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) President Pat Harrison appearing before the House Appropriations Committee - Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Subcommittee. Scroll to the end to learn a lot about public broadcasting.
CPB President Pat Harrison defended the corporation's 2020 budget request before a House subcommittee Tuesday, answering several pointed questions from the panel that oversees public broadcasting's federal outlay. The appearance was Harrison's first before the subcommittee in 10 years as CPB's future federal appropriations, including $445 million for fiscal year 2020, appear to be in the budget-cutting bullseye.

Fontwell Park Racecourse Guide
The small, West Sussex based village of Fontwell is undoubtedly best known for its racecourse. Sitting on the southern edge of the South Downs National Park, Fontwell Racecourse treats spectators to live racing in a peaceful and picturesque surrounding.
It's a place that marked the first win ever for Queen Elizabeth II (then Princess Elizabeth) as an owner when her horse, Monaveen, was crowned champion of the Chichester Handicap Chase in 1949. It was the first and only horse to be jointly owned by the Queen and the Queen Mother. Fontwell may not host too many meetings worthy of royalty but it certainly makes a for a great, relaxed day of racing.
Jump to: Course | Races | Useful Info | History
The Course
The layout at Fontwell Park is rather unusual and there are many that believe that the extra attention required to navigate the course suits some horses a lot more than others. The chase course, which includes relatively easy fences, is a figure of eight circuit, whilst the hurdles course is oval in shape. With tracks crossing over, you do sometimes see some idling horses take their chance to pull into the paddock area halfway down the run-in.
The obstacles at Fontwell Park may not pose the biggest challenge but the nature of the course most certainly does. The corners are sharp and the finish is stiff, often posing a real challenge to those looking to make up ground on the leader. It's no stranger to testing conditions either and on such occasions jockeys will tend to stray from the inside rail, especially during hurdles races.
It's always good to check course form coming into a race at Fontwell as it often counts for a lot. Many course specialists have been seen over the years, including the likes of Certain Justice who registered 14 of his 25 career victories here. More recently, St Athans Lad won 11 times at Fontwell in just a 14 month period between 1992 and 1993.
Major Races
Fontwell's big occasion each year is the National Spirit Hurdle that runs in late February / early March. At Grade 2, it's a very high quality affair that has been able to attract some top quality horses on occasions, most notably Baracouda, who won the race in 2001. The race is named after 1940s Champion Hurdle winner National Spirit who also racked up five wins at Fontwell during a highly successful hurdles career.
Arguably the major chase event at Fontwell Park is the Southern National, one of many long-distance Nationals to take place across the UK each year. It's the feature race of the meet in November and regularly sees a well-sized field test their stamina across three miles, three furlongs and 45 yards. There is a generous prize pool of around £25,000, making it one of Fontwell's most lucrative races.
Fontwell Park has been voted the Best Small Racecourse in the South East 19 years in a row and it's not hard to see why it's won the accolade so consistently.
Useful Info
Dress Code
For general admission, racegoers will not be required to adhere to any special dress code, although smart casual wear is encouraged. In the hospitality areas, certain standards are kept and this means ripped jeans, trainers and sports shirts are not permitted.
Ticket Prices
If purchased in advance, admission to the Paddock Enclosure will usually set you back between £14-19 depending on the fixture and tickets on the gate will cost an extra £5. Premier Enclosure tickets tend to vary between £19 and £24, and again will cost an extra £5 if purchased on the day rather than in advance.
Advanced tickets, purchased either online or via phone carry a £1.50 booking fee on the total order. Students and over 60s can get a £3 off tickets bought on the gate. For those looking for a filling meal with the racing, a spot in the Premier Lounge Restaurant with a three course set menu starts at £79 for adults and £20 for children under 12.
£279 is the price of a year's membership at Fontwell Park and with that you get access to all other ARC (Arena Racing Company) owned courses plus over 30 reciprocal fixtures.
Members can bring a friend along for two fixtures in the year, as well and will also be given four complimentary tickets for any ARC course (exclusions apply). You'll also have the option to go on the annual walk of the course and visit a nearby training yard.
Getting There
Although located in a small village, you won't have much difficulty getting to Fontwell Park, even if you are without car access. Nearby Barnham train station has links from the likes of Portsmouth, Brighton and London Victoria.
From there, a free shuttle bus will collect racegoers on all meets, starting two hours before the first race and leaving immediately after the last.
A parking place inside the centre of the course can be purchased for £5 or you can choose to opt for the free parking just outside.
By 1924, Alfred Day had saved up sufficient money that he could buy enough land for a racecourse in Fontwell. With the support of the local gentry, Day collected his licence from the Jockey Club and on 21st May, the first meeting took place. The inaugural race was won by the favourite Gem, who was ridden by champion jockey Fred Rees. A big crowd was in attendance who were able to enjoy the racing and also the gardens that Day had been maintaining for years prior.
In its opening year, Fontwell Park hosted four days of racing but this gradually increased with additional meets which tended to take place in the spring or autumn. The track was becoming ever popular and in 1949 it was fit for a royal visit. It proved to be a very enjoyable visit for Queen Elizabeth II, whose winning horse, Monaveen, can be seen in the form of a commemorative statue in the main enclosure.
On Film
Fontwell Park was used during the racing-based film, released in 1974, Dead Cert starring Judi Dench. The drama, which was based on a book by Dick Francis, needed a shot of a horse falling over the fences. Despite picking a known unreliable jumper for the take, the chosen horse decided to jump fluently whenever the camera was rolling.
The course has changed hands a few times since the end of the war. In 1970, it was rumoured Goodwood were keen to takeover but eventually it was bought by London solicitor and then, Plumpton racecourse owner, Isidore Kerman. His son Andy became the chairman in 1998 but only for four years as then Northern Racing took control (a company that would later merge to form ARC).
With the latest takeover came lots of investment into the facilities at Fontwell. A stable yard, big enough to hold 90 horses was added and the parade ring, winners' enclosure and saddling boxes were all refurbished in 2007. This is in addition to all the extra facilities such as the hotel and restaurant which help Fontwell to host weddings, concerts and conferences.
Further Reading
To read more about the past of the racecourse, you may be interested in a book called The History of Fontwell Park written by historian and racing fan, Jim Beavis. Then and again, you may just want to visit the track and have some fun!

Movie Mistakes
Christopher Mintz-Plasse the Quintessential Dork in
Published August 17, 2007 in
Movie Interviews
By Fred Topel | Image property of
Columbia Pictures
In his feature film debut, Christopher Mintz Plasse steales
from every comedian around him. As Fogle, the third wheel who gets a fake ID labeling him McLovin, his adventure with the cops who seem to believe he is McLovin remains a selling point in the trailer, and a crowd pleaser in the film itself. Mintz Plasse was completely plucked from obscurity for the role.
Christopher Mintz-Plasse on
"This was my first audition," he said. "I'd been doing drama in school since I was eight. I was on an improv comedy team at my high school, so that helped. They didn't call me back for two weeks so I didn't think I got it at all. Because I was 17, there were legal issues. When they finally called me…"
A character like McLovin needs little explanation. The name says it all. But we asked Mintz Plasse for his take anyway. "He's kind of a nerdy character. He thinks he's a lot cooler than he is. He has a confidence about himself that you see in the movie. Later on, when he gets taken away by the cops, he thinks he's more badass. It's like McLovin unleashed, and he becomes cooler as the movie goes on."
The part required some physical training too. When McLovin shoots off guns with his new cop buddies, the actor had to know what he was doing. "We went to the gun range and got to shoot shotguns and machine guns. The shotgun pushed me back because I'm a small guy."
Don't try this at home though, kids. McLovin is a fantasy. Most fake IDs don't work that well. "I could never pull that off. I look like I'm 15."
Mintz Plasse has already experienced fame. After early screenings of
, he has received his share of fanfare. "A woman asked me to sign her breast. I felt weird. I said, 'I'm not signing your boob with your fiancé behind you.' [So I signed] her ticket."
With an auspicious debut, there is certainly more work in Mintz Plasse's future. He hopes to catch up on school too. "When I get back from Europe [on the press tour] I'm going to go to junior college because I missed a couple of classes that I need to retake. But I'm going to try and get another acting job. I can be pickier. I don't want to do something not awesome. I want to take my time."
opens to theaters today.

On its second album, 2012's Coexist, the xx doubled down on the minimalist aesthetic that made its debut an instant classic. Coexist found new ways to work with the spaces between Romy Madley Croft's clear-toned guitar lines, Oliver Sim's melodic bass and Jamie Smith's restrained beats and gauzy keyboards, and new ways to throw Croft and Sim's introspective vocals into sharp relief.
The danger of minimalism, however, is that it eventually becomes more difficult to create something fresh through subtraction rather than addition. The blare of horns that opens I See You announces a retooled, vibrant xx. I See You startles with its extroverted touches: the forceful vocals on "Say Something Loving," the R&B hooks to "Lips," the "I Can't Go For That" Hall & Oates sample on "Hold On." While "Performance" might fit on Coexist, almost every other song includes at least one disruptor, even if it's as subtle as the increased BPM of "I Dare You" or the unison vocals of "Test Me."
Smith's 2015 album In Colour (credited to his DJ moniker, Jamie xx) is the obvious template: Both Croft and Sim contributed vocals to their partner's club-happy debut. But what makes this xx album work so well is that the British trio hasn't lost sight of what has made them special from their start as teenagers on their 2009 debut: their use of space and silence; the interplay between voices, Croft's alto often in dialogue with Sim's baritone; the earnest, self-aware, sometimes self-lacerating lyrics; the sense that this is a young band that grew up on hip hop and U.K. club music but whose DNA includes New Order, Young Marble Giants and the Cure without being self-conscious about any of them. It continues to add up to something special.

Oh, Lord!
An encounter such as this is more than capable of introducing a compulsive humility and more.
So I had to head into Lagos on Friday morning for what proposed to be a busy day with a seemingly impossible set of tasks. Knowing that I had to be in 3 locations within an awfully short timeframe, I woke up very early, did the morning rituals and picked an outfit for the day.
On other days such as this, I would have just worn some jean and shirt, but then, my "Wanna look good side" decided to speak.
Considering it was a Friday, I decided to put on native (technically, native pants and jean shirt). I headed out feeling so self-love and all. If only I knew what the day had in stock for me.
So I took some time to try put my day in the best order that would benefit me; time-wise, and things were falling perfectly into place.
Until the driver said he wasn't going to stop at Berger (which is the location for my 1st task).
At this, I dropped at Opic; 2 stops from Berger, hoping to take a bus that goes there. Then it hit me that there was still 1 more stop in between, so I asked the driver to drop me there instead.
He agreed and then I attempted re-entry. Then it happened.
With phobia and lack of belief of the gravity of damage, I told myself it didn't happen and moved on. My alight at the new stop came with all reality flooding my mind and person.
If I were to be a lady, the concept would have been, "My bride Price just got slashed thanks to Jumia Black Friday", but in my case, I just had to figure out the next step to ensure the day went on fine even with the humility that suddenly engulfed me and found expression in the way I walked and communicated with people.
The 1st task had me drenched in the rain, cost me my phone (causing this story to be delayed) and soonest birthed the 4th task for the day.
The 2nd thought me patience with Lagos drivers and life itself cause all could be lost in a split of a second,
and the 3rd; well the 3rd put some smile on my face, showing the appropriate prediction for progress.
The fourth task was for me to return to where it all started; home and await the call of a driver that is on a return trip from Ibadan as the document I was to go acquire in the first place was already given to him.
This life ehn!
Well, on the long run; despite all the damage I incurred, all that seemed impossible has actually been leveled with the grounds and almost everyone is happy.
Have you had a rough experience on Lagos road before? Would you like to share your experience?
I would like to hear from you in the comment section, as would all other readers.

Epic - the good kind
Generally I think Epics are to be avoided, but having just threw down the deposit on the new generation of cameras from Red, I have to say that I cant wait to experience this kind of EPIC.
5K raw recording with 13.5 stops of dynamic range, and up to 225 frames per second makes this a perfect art machine.
On a climbing note, I'm headed to Rifle this weekend to see what's dry and get on some limestone. Cant wait to get on Zulu and Living in Fear, two routes that I've been on before but have never even come close to trying to redpoint.
Have a great weekend,

I use Garritan libraries in both Finale 2010 and sonar. I don't want a keyboard MIDI controller with weighted keys. How important is it to have one with
(a) Velocity Sensitive Keys and
(b) Aftertouch?
Keyboards I've been looking at within my budget such as the M-Audio Oxygen 61 V3 does not have weighted keys but neither does it have Velocity Sensitive Keys or Aftertouch?. Instead it includes an array of assignable sliders and swithes which, personally, I would have no use for.
Edit: The above does have velocity sensitive keys. With apologies.
For a little less money there is the M-Audio Keystation 61es which does have velocity sensitive keys but not aftertouch and minimum sliders and switches. However, this does have semi-weighted keys. I don't want weighted keys so I'm unsure about the semi-weighted keys on this.
It seems that I would have to pay almost double for a keyboard such as the Edirol PCR 800 which has both Velocity Sensitive unweighted Keys and Aftertouch. This also has loads of switches, sliders and pads; things I don't need nor would use.
So my choices seem to be:
Choice 1. (Edited - Velocity Sensitive keys Correction)
For: Within my budget, has unweighted keys. Does have velocity sensitive keys.
Against: No Aftertouch, unwanted sliders and switches.
Choice 2
For: Within my budget, has Velocity Sensitive Keys, minimum sliders and switches.
Against: Without Aftertouch, has semi-weighted keys (not sure if this is really an 'against' or not).
Choice 3
For: Has Velocity Sensitive Keys and Aftertouch, unweighted keys.
Against: Presently outside my budget, has unwanted sliders and switches.
So how important is the aftertouch feature on a keyboard and without it on a keyboard is this easily managed separately within a sequencer?
Can anyone suggest any other options or offer any other advice or suggestions?

Maa shaa allah books are the best companion for everyone. When it's a companion for a toddler then that's the best thing to happen in toddler's life! We are gifted in that way alhamdulilah 💕 we read a lot of books since her birth. But it's on and off! Buying books was a tough task in India but still we had preloved group where we could buy them! But after moving to US it's a lot more easy here! Library library and library! It's a key for reading a lot of book! We read a lot alhamdulilah for that!
It's a daily activity in our home. My friends and family used to make fun of me like your daughter walks with book, sleeps with book, etc.,
When I had a unplanned surgery in this land I was not supposed to nurse my doll and that's when we weaned naturally alhamdulilah for that but only because we had that read aloud a daily I was able to connect more with her. I was advised not to carry her so this reading helped us to connect with each other. If you would like to hear more about that please do click here!
On the eve of World book day tomorrow I would like to share with you our to-go list in my family! These are picture books for sure and it's a mixture of both Muslim and non-Muslim books!
Carry-me Farm Animals
This book is written by Claire Page and it's a simple book with a touch and feel experience. The author has introduced the farm animals one by one in a sensorial way. This is one of our favourite books in this 2 years of parenting.
Qunatum Physics
Quantum Physics for Babies is a colorfully simple introduction to the principle that gives quantum physics its name. Babies (and grownups!) will discover that the wild world of atoms never comes to a standstill. Many asked me if is it not too early to introduce this? My answer is Nothing is too early and they will understand when the right age comes. This is perfect for the young scientists After all, it's never too early to become a quantum physicist!
Good Night
This is from the Priddybooks and its a bed time story where the baby bear is the protagonist. It is a cute story of a bear family who does things from morning to sleep time. This is a board book and kids will enjoy these books for sure.
ABC Animals
This is a wonderful books for the kids to get introduced to animals. I got to know few animals in the list in this age. This is from the Anerican Museum of Natural History. This museum was established on 1869. Wow!!
What's your Favorite Animal
Everybody has a favorite animal. Some like little white dogs or big black cats or hoppy brown bunnies best. Others prefer squishy snails or tall giraffes or sleek black panthers. With beautiful illustrations and charming personal stories, 14 children's book artists share their favorite animals and why they love them.
5 Pillars of Islam
This is a wonderful book for the toddlers where the author introduces each pillar with the illustrations so the kids will understand. It's written in simple language and the illustrations speak a lot in it.
The Little Ice Cream Truck
This is one of our favorite books. The illustrations are so inviting where the author introduces zoo, parks, parties and whereever the ice cream truck is! BabyA matches the ice creams on the first and last pages of the book. She counts them too. It's a sort of interactive book.
Count to 10 with a Mouse
This is an interactive picture book where a mouse stays inside the book. The mouse wants to learn to count as he wants to know how many fingers he has. As he has spotted a hole he travels through each page and learns to count page by page. Kids will enjoy this book for sure.
It's Ramadan, Curious George
This is one of our favorite books and as Ramadan is too around the corner I wanted to mention about this book. It travels around George where he is planning to celebrate Ramadan with his friend kareem and together they learn about Fasting, Eid and the sighting of
Moon. Really loved this book.
So there you have it, my list of the best books for babies/toddlers/preschoolers. Have you read any of these? Which are your favourite?

Italian verbs: GIOCARE – TOP 10 MISTAKES IN ITALIAN
Today we look at the verb GIOCARE, which means TO PLAY.
First of all, GIOCARE is always followed by the preposition A, that is, we say:
GIOCARE A CALCIO (to play soccer)
GIOCARE A CARTE (to play cards)
GIOCARE A MONOPOLI (to play Monopoli)
(we "play at" something).
The Italian verb GIOCARE is only used to talk about GAMES and SOME SPORTS, when they are GAMES, that is, MATCHES.
GIOCARE A BINGO (to play bingo)
GIOCARE A SUPER MARIO BROS (to play Super Mario Bros)
GIOCARE A TENNIS (to play tennis)
GIOCARE A GOLF (to play golf)
We cannot use it for other sports. We cannot say:
* giocare a yoga
* giocare a rock climbing
GIOCARE is also NOT used for instruments.
The verb in that case is SUONARE (to play instruments).
SUONARE LA CHITARRA (to play the guitar)
SUONARE IL PIANOFORTE (to play the piano)
You cannot use GIOCARE or SUONARE to say "to play music".
You need to use ASCOLTARE (to listen).
ASCOLTARE LA MUSICA (to play/listen to music)
ASCOLTO LA MUSICA SUL MIO TELEFONO (I play music on my phone)
Another tricky translation of the English verb TO PLAY can be RECITARE, when you are "playing as an actor", that is, "playing a role", or simply "acting", or more often, "RECITARE IL RUOLE" or "FARE IL RUOLO".

Talent News
Succession Planning - Part 3
Thursday 18th January 2018
How can we invest in our existing talent?
Investing in our existing talent often requires a cultural change - it can mean altering ingrained attitudes from long-standing members of senior staff. Keeping people in stalemate job situations because they have the monopoly of skills and knowledge to fulfil that role effectively is not acceptable. Having an individual who can fulfil a specific skill is an asset to a manager but keeping them in that role because the prospect of re-training someone to do something which no one else appears to be able to do or want to do - is not the answer. Give that individual a time frame i.e. three months to re-train the prospective candidate and write a standard SOP, upon completion they can be promoted or undergo training to begin a new job role or this can happen in parallel during the transitional period.
A high flyer can be talent spotted for one-step progression and or a two / three-step progression move within a few months and should be internally promoted because they have proven their capabilities time and time again.
Apprenticeships - age is but a number:
A sensible way to do succession planning is utilising the Apprenticeship Levy, all UK employers who have a total employee pay bill above £3m a year will pay the Levy. This includes public and private sector, charities and educational providers such as academy groups and universities. The Levy rate was set at 0.5% of your pay bill in the November 2015 Comprehensive Spending Review.
Your 'pay bill' is your total employee earnings subject to Class 1 secondary NICs.
Employers get a £15,000 fixed annual allowance to offset against the Levy payment. Employers who operate multiple payrolls are able to claim one allowance for the Levy.
An example: if you have a £3m pay bill, you have a Levy bill of £15,000 (at 0.5% of employer pay bill). The allowance is offset against this so your Levy payment is £0.00.
An apprenticeship was traditionally associated with young people but this is no longer the case it is a journey - from being a novice in a role to becoming an expert.
"Apprenticeships should be expansive, and focus on developing the whole person for a job, a career (and other careers), and for life. Going beyond that, an apprenticeship will instil a sense of curiosity, lifelong learning, discovery and improvement in all apprentices."
For the apprentice, paid employment with a higher chance of securing a job at the end of the apprenticeship with qualifications and experience to enable them to fulfil procurement roles in:
• assistant buyers
• assistant contract officers
• contracts analysts
• stock/inventory controller/planner
"I passionately believe that Apprenticeships are a real option for everyone post 16." Chris Starling, Head of Apprenticeships, Virgin Media.

The game was close most of the night and very physical. At one point in the 3rd, Bryce was fouled hard and didn't get the call. He started in at the ref and Sam moved quickly to get between them and push Bryce away from what would have been a technical foul. It was the fast thinking and maturity that Sam showed that made the night. They should have a couple more years together on this team and leadership will be an important ingredient for success.
The picture below is the two of them after a big win in Pennsylvania earlier in the month. A little happier than last night.

from the past—
We are putting all the back issues of Jump Cut online as fast as we can. We hope new readers will discover these classic essays. And we hope that they will be useful for readers who followed Jump Cut from the start and whose old issues have yellowed with age. This contribution to film studies lets teachers can have easy access to a collection of thoughtful critical essays for their classes. It is also our contribution to left, feminist, and gay/lesbian cultural criticism for lovers of cinema throughout the world. We began Jump Cut in 1974 and hope to bring all thirty years of film criticism to you online in about a year.
Right now we have numbers 1-30 online, comprising over 260 essays. It is too much to read all at once but we hope you will dip into this archive over and over to read about favorite films and TV shows and also to see how the field of film criticism has developed over the last quarter century. In retrospect, it is clear that Jump Cut has taken the lead in many of the most important areas of film and television criticism, especially in terms of the journal's social orientation.
If you read some of these essays and find them useful, we would like to ask a favor. We need help at this point with proofreading. The process of transferring essays online involves scanning the text into a "picture-like" image, then turning that image into text through a optical character recognition (OCR) software program, then proofing the text in Word, and then putting the text into the program used to construct the web site, Dreamweaver. The OCR process is quite imprecise and a few typographical errors may remain in these essays. If you find any, please contact us and let us know. The editor in charge of layout is Julia Lesage, email@example.com

Five Things You Must Include In Your LinkedIn profile
Tuesday, March 6, 2018
Five Must Haves For A Stand Out LinkedIn Profile
The search for a job is more competitive than ever these days and, with qualifications perhaps not quite as worthy as they once were, it's important to make sure you stand out from the crowd.
Everybody has their own ideas on what way it is best to do that but, for us, having an excellent LinkedIn profile is the best way for you to get noticed in the extremely busy marketplace that is job hunting.
Recruiters, just like us, live on LinkedIn these days, hunting out the very best talent for the roles they have available. Have the best profile that they come across, and hey presto, you're well on the way to landing yourself an interview and nailing down that dream job.
So, what do we think are the five must-haves in any LinkedIn profile?
- Get a Custom URL
We all have custom names on Twitter and Instagram these days and LinkedIn should be no different. It's much better to publicise your profile with a custom URL (like linkedin.com/yourname) rather than using the confusing set of numbers that LinkedIn will automatically give to you when you sign up.
It goes without saying, but just remember that this is a professional profile you are publicising, so try and avoid names like MUFCTom or SassySal123. Going with your actual name is probably best.
- Get a Proper Profile Picture
This in LinkedIn, it's a professional platform, so choose your profile picture accordingly. Your night-out snaps are better saved for somewhere else. Pick a clear, friendly image that portrays you in the right light to any future employers.
If you're struggling with what to choose, then take a look at what people in your target company or industry are wearing in their profile pictures and match that. You know what they say, "Dress for the job you want, not the job you've got."
- Showcase Your Achievements
If you've got it, flaunt it. Don't be scared to get all of your achievements onto your LinkedIn profile, it's exactly what us recruiters spend hours looking at in our search for the very highest performers.
It's important to market yourself as exactly that as well. Get those action words into your summary and experience section, and don't forget your accomplishments or the times you've been promoted or hand-picked to work on particular projects.
As Take That once sang, "just let it shine".
- Request One LinkedIn Recommendation a Month
It always good to get praise for our efforts at work, but now it's time for you to start noting them down and getting them on to your LinkedIn profile.
When someone says, "You did a great job on that project!" get them to write you a recommendation on LinkedIn. Something specific, like "Chris's contributions on the project helped us to raise profits by 5%" will really showcase your strengths.
- Update Your Status
Just like we all regularly do on Facebook and Twitter, LinkedIn gives you the chance to update your status as often as you wish. So, keep active on there.
Update it professionally and strategically with the work or blogs you have been doing, ideally once a week. Your entire network will see your updates, both in their news feeds and in the weekly LinkedIn network updates emails, they receive.
You'll soon see that the more you post, the more interaction you'll start getting about possible job opportunities.
Don't forget, First Achieve is always here to help you in your job search as well. We advertise all our roles on social media, but if you can't find what you are looking for then visit our jobs page today to see the roles we have available.

Anarchitect-designed hotel in Sri Lanka is inspired by tropical modernism
Dubai-based architecture studio Anarchitect's first hotel project in the southern province of Sri Lanka has broken ground, and will outcome in a six-suite luxury boutique property inspired by the country's prominent tropical modernist movement.
The Harding Boutique Hotel in Ahangama, Sri Lanka is a new venture by Sri Lankan-Australian entrepreneur Paul Harding, and is set to welcome guests in the autum of 2019.
Anarchitect has led the design on both architecture and interiors, taking cues from Sri Lanka's vernacular modernist style movement, with a strong focus on materiality and context.
"The new property lies amongst dense coconut groves to the East and West, ocean and beach frontage to the South and a dynamic local community to the North. It was important for us that the boutique hotel's design responded on all four elevations in equal measure through a clean, contemporary and modern aesthetic," said director, Jonathan Ashmore.
"It is visually calm amongst the organic and wild nature that surrounds it and contextual and environmentally responsive through its materiality and natural openness and permeability.," he added.
The project is the first property in Anarchitect's series of projects planned for Sri Lanka.

Sen Monorom is the capital city of Mondulkiri province in Eastern Cambodia.
Sen Monorom lies at an altitude of 800 meters which makes it a little bit cooler than Phnom Penh especially during the night.
The city is rapidly developing and so is the tourist industry. You will not find untouched or unspoiled nature or ethnic groups. But even though you might not be the first tourist to lay your eyes on Sen Monorom it is probably one of the least touristic areas in Cambodia and many of the ethic groups still lives pretty much like they always have, but this may soon end if the tourist industry keeps growing in the area.

...and have fun!


text: Michael Brantley did anything and everything for the Indians last season. His versatility and consistency has been rewarded. Brantley has agreed to long-term contract with the Indians, a person familiar with the deal told the AP on Tuesday. Clevelands most consistent player in 2013, Brantley will sign a four-year, $25 million deal once he passes a physical, says the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the contract cant be finalized until he undergoes the medical examination. The Indians are reporting to spring training in Goodyear, Ariz., this week, and it appears theyll open camp by announcing their commitment to Brantley. The deal was first reported by Northeast Ohio Media Group. Brantley moved from centre field to left last spring when the Indians signed free agent Michael Bourn. The switch didnt rattle Brantley, who batted .284 with 10 homers and 73 RBIs in 151 games. Manager Terry Francona used Brantley throughout his lineup -- he batted everywhere but ninth -- and he excelled in the field by not making an error and recording 11 assists. The Indians were scheduled to go to an arbitration hearing with Brantley on Feb. 17. Brantleys new deal locks him up through the 2017 season and the club has an $11 million option for 2018. He was at his best late last season, batting .345 with 14 RBIs in September to lead the Indians push toward a wild-card playoff spot. Brantley began his career with Cleveland as "the player to be named" in the blockbuster deal that sent pitcher CC Sabathia to Milwaukee in 2008. While first baseman Matt LaPorta didnt pan out for the Indians, Brantley has developed into one of their core players. Jordan Whitehead Jersey .

Josh Willingham drove in the lone run for the Nationals, who had just four hits. LONDON -- For 2 1/2 hours, Venus Williams traded big serves and hard groundstrokes with Petra Kvitova on Centre Court. Williams was playing with some of the power and pace that had brought her five Wimbledon titles. But when it was over, she was left with a sense of disappointment. "The battle is always a little more enjoyable when you win," Williams said Friday after coming within two points of victory but losing 5-7, 7-6 (2), 7-5 to Kvitova, the 2011 champion. All four of their previous meetings went to three sets and this one was no different, with plenty of suspense, intensity, and only a few break points. Williams looked stronger early in the match and was up 5-4, 15-30 on Kvitovas serve, in the second set. But the Czech came up with some big serves, held and won the second set tiebreaker. The players then held serve for the first 11 games of the third set before Kvitova broke No. 30 Williams for the first time in the last game. "Its a shame there had to be a loser in this match and more of a shame that it had to be me," Williams said. Despite the loss, Williams had reasons to feel positive about her week in London. At the age of 34, she has been playing well this season, winning a title in Dubai and reachiing the final in Auckland and Miami.dddddddddddd This week, she got to the third round at a Grand Slam tournament for only the second time in her past 10 appearances. After her battle with Kvitova, she reiterated that retirement is not in her plans. More than that, Williams still believes in her ability to add to her total of seven Grand Slams. "People have been trying to retire me since I was like 25. For some reason in tennis we always do that to our players. Its weird," said Williams, who disclosed three years ago that she was diagnosed with an energy-sapping autoimmune disease. "We dont encourage them to stick around," she added. "Its like, Get out of here. So Im not getting out of here. I think this year has been a great year for me. Ive had some tough losses, but Ive learned a lot from them. Im finding my way back on my feet. Im proud of myself for what Im achieving on the court." The former No. 1 is next scheduled to play in Cincinnati and Montreal. She said she might add more tournaments to her summer schedule to keep improving her game. "So that way Ill just have a chance, when its really time to play good tennis, I would have had those matches under my belt," she said.

As the Eagles beat the Bears, week 2of the regular season is in the books and boy was this week a dozy in terms of injuries. So which injury is the most devastating both to the team and the fans?
If you look at ESPN's report on the biggest injuries of week two the list goes on and on from guys like Jimmy Garoppolo, Arian Foster, Adrian Peterson, Danny Woodhead, and most recently tonight Jay Cutler.
So out of those and the many more players injured, which team should be the most concerned. No Bears fans, it is not the Bears, Cutler's injury might either prove to be the kick in the metaphorical butt the team needs to play better or give the next guy up an opportunity to sign. It might also help to prove that maybe Cutler has some talent in the QB position, but we'll wait and see if he ends up missing some time or not.
No there are two teams that need to worry the most about their holes that come from injuries: The Minnesota Vikings and the San Diego Chargers.
Let's start with the San Diego Chargers. First tragedy struck the Chargers in Week 1 when WR Keenan Allen went down with an ACL injury. So now to then lose Danny Woodhead to the same injury proves to be a large obstacle for the team to fill. Sure, RB and WR aren't the same position, these guys were pivotal to the Chargers offense working. So fans and the Chargers themselves better hope that the next guy up not only stays healthy but can fill the void left by these two play makers.
The Minnesota Vikings are also on this list because while Adrian Peterson hasn't been prime Peterson since his suspension, he still was a key piece to this offense. It doesn't help that the offense was already suffering by the loss of quarterback Teddy Bridgewater so to see Peterson go down on Sunday night and be helped off the field deflated Vikings fans sails faster than a New England Patriots game ball.
As each of these teams and the rest of the league gears up for week 3 action set to begin on Thursday when the New England Patriots taken on the Houston Texans, here's hoping that teams don't suffer the devastating injury losses of week 2.

Strategic Imaginations
Women and the Gender of Sovereignty in European Culture
Edited by Anke Gilleir and Aude Defurne
Regular price

Edited volume - paperbackVIEW Edited volume - free ebook - ePUB VIEW Edited volume - free ebook - PDF
of female rule and the imaginative strategies of women rulers
What is the gender of political power? Since the beginning of political thought, rule has been a male prerogative in European imagination. This is of course not to say that there never were women sovereigns. In-depth studies of women sovereigns have grown considerably in number in the past three decades and have added substantially to our understanding of the complexities of their rule of power.
Yet what is often obscured by such in-depth analyses
is the fact that all women rulers throughout the entirety of European cultural
history have had to operate in a context that could not think of power as
female – except in grotesque terms. This continuity, as this book demonstrates,
can only be brought out by studying women's political rule comparatively and in
the longue durée.
This collection of essays brings together studies of female sovereignty from the Polish-Lithuanian to the British Commonwealth, and from the Middle Ages to the dawn of modern democracy. It demonstrates how the strategies and imagination women rulers adopted against the backdrop of an all-pervasive scepticism toward female rule are comparable across regions and periods. To illustrate its point, this book not only addresses historical figures and queens, but also takes stock of the rich yet unsettling imagination of female rule in philosophy, literature and art history.

Meet Google's New Logo

The transformation of Google over the last decade as been nothing short of miraculous, this has included a myriad of services which have combined into one huge conglomerate. Now, Google have also changed their logo, which looks only slightly different to all of their previous logos.
Below is an image of the new design which has been unveiled by the search engines blog, so, why have Google opted for a new design? This is what the company have said.
"Today we're introducing a new logo and identity family that reflects this reality and shows you when the Google magic is working for you, even on the tiniest screens. As you'll see, we've taken the Google logo and branding, which were originally built for a single desktop browser page, and updated them for a world of seamless computing"
Not sure about "Google Magic" but ok whatever, other changes include the re-imagining of the small blue "G" icon which will now be divided into four colours, below is an image to convey this. Google aims to offer "Seamless Computing" which integrates across the plethora of devices, whether it be Tablets, Mobiles, laptops and traditional Desktops. The world of computing has changed and therefore what once used to be a single desktop browser page is now a never-ending conveyor belt of tech. Google state that they will complete the rollout out of this design change in the near future. But as of writing, it looks to be very much happening considering the colour scheme of both the logo and "G" have changed to the new design. It may make a difference depending on your point of view, only time will tell for consumers.
If you land on Google's front page you might see this quirky animation which below is in GIF form, this is a subtle way of unveiling a new design.

"Self-compassion and self-esteem both involve positive emotions toward the self. But self-esteem is about judging yourself positively: I am good. Or, unfortunately, if you can't keep up that self-definition: I am bad. Self-compassion does not involve judgment or evaluation. It's not about, "What type of person am I?" It's just about: I'm suffering—can I respond to my suffering with kindness, understanding, caring, and concern?" from The Power of Self-Compassion

Current Projects
Rebels and Revenants
September 18, 2018
Behold! My second short story has been published in an anthology! Rebels & Revenants has launched and is available at all major retailers in ebook and print formats!! I hope you enjoy my nightmare tale, "The Nowhere House," as much as I enjoyed writing it!
"REBELS AND REVENANTS features the dead and the undead, ghosts both figurative and literal, Elder Gods and Egyptian queens, and, funny enough, more than a little rebellion. Most of all, these eleven stories have heart, with a strong sense of family threading through them, either the one you're born to or the one you make.
REBELS AND REVENANTS will teach you that when you find your place, you better stake a claim and stand by it."

There were plenty of bad songs in 2015, so a "Top 10" list would be easy enough to compile. However, it seems that there is something far more evil lurking just below the surface. This year didn't produce any abominations on the level of "Accidental Racist" or "Anaconda", but there was definitely a subtle sense that something was very, very wrong.
Instead, what seemed to emerge was a set of trends that spread like a top-secret strain of ebola, poisoning us at a cellular level. Any review of the musical landscape in 2015 must include an exploration of the trends that made "Marvin Gaye" possible.
Of course, there were some pretty awful individual efforts this year, such as Walk the Moon's "Shut Up and Dance", which sounds like a U2 B-side. Most of the songs like this, however, didn't come as surprises. You don't even have to hear Owl City and Hanson's "Unbelievable" to know it was going to be dumb. Your grandmother could see that coming. The travesty of Fall Out Boy's "Uma Thurman" isn't shocking – the song is precisely as bad as you'd expect.
Certainly there are some that rise above in their unique horribleness. One has to mention "Dooo It!", Miley Cyrus' last-ditch effort to gross herself out. It's cute (at best) to hear her talk about smoking pot, which isn't even illegal in certain places anymore. If that was the only silliness involved, we could cut her some slack, but it's the complete absence of singing that makes her seem burned out. Probably one of 2015's lowest points is "Movin' Up", the depressingly desperate attention-grab by Alana Thompson, AKA Honey Boo-Boo (or, to be more precise, by Honey Boo-Boo's mom). Yet, even this isn't as fundamentally evil as the pervasive bad practices that modern musicians are just accepting as the norm these days.
Overall, the worst things about this year's music have been spread out in various directions, making it hard to isolate specific offenders. Therefore it is worthwhile to focus on the trends that are ruining music so we can start the new year clean and promise to never, ever do them again. These were the five worst musical trends in 2015.
Rap Without Rap:
Fetty Wap is just one example of the kind of dumb, rambling, rap-less rappers that have gained popularity recently, and "679" is just as bad as the rest. He often sounds like he has a mouth full of marshmallows, especially when he tries to rhyme "Rari" with "Rari" (because "Ferrari" is just one syllable too many). In case you're willing to let this go as an outlier, take a listen to "My Way", which is Biz Markee without the sense of irony. At least he's trying, which is more than can be said for Soulja Boy, whose "Hurricane" is basically three words: "whip (x45) / diamonds / hurricane." Repetition is fine if the music is good, but many of these songs seem to believe that you will like something if it is just repeated often enough. Travis Scott's "Antidote" is a fine example of running the lines over and over again, until they enter a swirling vortex of sleepy nonsense!
Unfortunately, these aren't just a few pitiful exceptions. For all the great dance videos Beyonce has had, "7/11" looks like a collection of rejected outtakes. There is a lyric video for this song, which is pointless because there are no lyrics. In the realm of hip-hop dance videos, Silento stands out this year with the silly "Watch Me (Whip / Nae Nae)." It is incredibly stupid, but so was "U Can't Touch This" and "The Humpty Dance". Somehow Silento's take is worse because neither of those tried so hard to force a trend. This misplaced effort to take itself seriously ends up having roughly the gravitas of a dance like "The Carlton." The greater failure is "Hit the Quan" by iLoveMemphis, which is what happens when a bunch of upper middle class suburban rich kids get funding for a rap album.
This new generation of lazy rap via repetition is a sad chapter in the genre that gave us NWA and WuTang. Nothing seems to happen in any of these songs and they express a worldview that could be achieved by still living at home with Mom. "Lazy" rhymes with "lazy" and that's most of what we're getting now.
Emo Country:
Contemporary country music seems bent on being anything but. While artists like Luke Bryan and Florida Georgia Line have spent the past few years plundering rap music, the next move seems to be to steal from something even more incompatible – the overly-sentimental drivel that is Emo. "Run Away With You" by Big & Rich could be a Jimmy Eat World cover. They've replaced girls and trucks with moonlight rides and dorky romance. Chris Young's "Think of You" is like Dashboard Confessional sung with a mouthful of Skoal.
Without being quite as obviously derivative, Jason Aldean, who has made a career of cliché, threw out "Gonna Know We Were Here", a song that basically plays on the dreams of every high school jock that high school football will matter in the future. Spoiler alert: it will not. Perhaps the most nauseatingly sappy of these is Kid Rock's 'take-me-seriously' ballad "First Kiss", an attempt to revitalize the summer of '69 that really just makes us wish he'd just go back to guzzling High Life and manicuring his wispy goatee.
Sassy < Crazy:
Now that positive-body-image advocate Meghan Trainor has lost a bunch of weight, it seems that she has gone from sassy role model to irrationally demanding sociopath with "Dear Future Husband." It's worthwhile to note that the only thing she doesn't demand from her future spineless prat is that he listen to her music. Next in line on the highly suspicious sassy-empowerment-ballad list is "Pretty Girls" by the 'remember when I shaved my head?' Britney Spears and the contractually obligated Iggy Azalea. "… Baby One More Time" was a hit eight years ago and things have been increasingly psychotic ever since. She is worn out and this seems like a pitiful grab for attention, kind of like your stepmom going back to college. Stop raising your hand, Britney.
A few steps past this brings us to "worst of" alum Nicki Minaj, who once again is (sort of) trying to bail out Madonna's career with "B*tch, I'm Madonna." Madonna is the original shock-trendsetter, but she appears to be unraveling here, and dubstep is not doing her any favors. The sadness of her vocals makes us wonder how many times the songwriters had to explain the lyrics to her. Although the song was clearly written for someone else, Nicki Minaj's almost unintelligible contribution makes it commercially viable for almost any artist desperate enough to hitch their wagon to her star. There is a level of invented street slang Minaj has adopted that is no longer intelligible to the human mind without the aid of bath salts. Finally, diving right off the end, is Rihanna with "B*tch Better Have My Money", which is basically the anthem for all those angry tin can-collecting bag ladies who haunt Walmart storefronts. They are all mumbling, "b*tch better have my money."
Nursing Home Soundtracks:
There was a lot of painfully boring music this year. For example, "I'm Gonna Lose You" by Meghan Trainor, shows that without the bubbly quips and 12-year-old girl logic, she really has nothing to offer. Her co-conspirator on the abominably bad "Marvin Gaye" is the equally vacuous Charlie Puth. Puth's attempt at seriousness is more or less coma muzak. "One Call Away" is a dork ballad, and his claim that "Superman got nothin' on me" is undercut by the premise of the song – if you jump in after the other guy drops the ball, you may get to be the meaningless rebound (which in Puth's case would be a step up). Gwen Stefani added to the snooze-a-thon with "Used to Love You", a feeble attempt at an unconvincing Miley Cyrus impersonation in which literally nothing happens for nearly four minutes. Try to hold your breath for four minutes. It's an eternity.
Chris Brown:
Nicki Minaj has been the queen of mindless cameos for the past several years, but in 2015 she only had seven guest vocal credits. Normally that's a large enough number, considering that there surely can't be much more to scrape out of the bottom of that barrel. However, by comparison, Chris Brown had a whopping 23. In case you need a reminder – and apparently he has millions of fans that do – this is a guy who punched his girlfriend in the face over 20 times. Anything he has to share lyrically is only slightly less inappropriate than 1971's "Bill Cosby Talks to Kids About Drugs." The sheer fact that this guy still has a music career is a sad commentary on what we will tolerate as a society. Apparently Michael Vick could write a song called "Dog Trainer" without any trouble.
Perhaps the worst of his contributions this year is "Only", a sort of swingers party between Nicki Minaj, Drake, Lil' Wayne, and a psycho-eyed Chris Brown. Besides being filmed in Christian Grey's basement, this droning, hookless, demon hymn is frenetically dull. Of course, a song about hooking up with Nicki Minaj is destined to be creepy, disturbing, and self-loathing. As if there were any question about Brown's solo exploits, "Back to Sleep" (specifically, "let me f— you back to sleep, girl") is further evidence of Brown's proclivity for situations where consent is questionable at best.
So what do we have to look forward to in 2016? Food Network star Guy Fieri is working on an album. Not really, but what if?

SpaceX's SES-9 Launch Campaign Captured by UrtheCast's Deimos-2 Satellite
Flight of the Falcon
On March 4, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifted off and successfully placed communications satellite SES-9 in orbit — the first stage of the rocket travelled back to Earth, attempting to land on a barge ~645 kms east of Cape Canaveral. It was a hard landing, tweeted Elon Musk, SpaceX CEO and Co-founder.
The Falcon 9 dropped the SES-9 satellite in a geostationary orbit, at an altitude of ~36, 000 km. To reach those heights, the rocket requires a lot of propellant in the first stage, which means that the remaining combustible required to attempt a return to the drone ship is limited, making that task all the more challenging.
Try, try again
Initially set for Feb. 24, multiple launch attempts followed on Feb. 25, 26, 28, 29, and March 1. Sharp changes in upper-level winds and a boat entering the restricted maritime zone were some of the circumstances that led to the multiple launch attempts.
Thanks to its high revisit rate, Deimos-2 — an extremely high-resolution satellite with a Ground Sampling Distance of 0.75m — eyed each of the SES-9 launch attempts, beginning with pre-launch operations in early February (Fig.1), then capturing the Falcon 9 at the Launch Pad in Cape Canaveral on Feb. 23, 27, 28 (Fig. 2, 3 and 4), and spotting the drone ship 'Of course I still love you', which is shown ready to recover the first stage in the Atlantic Ocean on March 4 (Fig. 6 and 7).
The SES-9 satellite is the ninth SES telecommunications satellite in the SES family, and the second one launched by SpaceX.
When every hour counts
This image series highlights not only Deimos-2's tasking reliability, but also its speed of delivery. The three-hour tasking-to-delivery capabilities of the Deimos-2 sensor allowed us to acquire and publish the barge images only a couple of hours before the launch. This drone ship image went on to collect widespread impressions across social media, and was featured by SpaceNews, Spaceflight Now, and the Planetary Society, among others.

WASHINGTON: The World Bank has forecast a growth rate of 7.3 per cent for India this year and 7.5 per cent for the next two years, making it the fastest growing country among major emerging economies.
A top World Bank official said India's economy is robust, resilient and has potential to deliver sustained growth.
Growth in India is projected to advance 7.3 per cent in fiscal year 2018-19 and 7.5 per cent in FY 2019-20, reflecting robust private consumption and strengthening investment, the bank said in its June 2018 edition of the Global Economic Prospect report. The report, released on Tuesday, is the global lender's flagship publication on the state of the world economy.
It said that growth in South Asia is projected to strengthen to 6.9 per cent in 2018 and to 7.1 per cent in 2019, mainly as factors holding back growth in India fade. India retains the tag of the fastest growing country among the world's major emerging economies, Ayhan Kose, director of the development prospects group at the World Bank, said. "India's economy (today) is robust, resilient and has potential to deliver sustained growth," Kose said. India's growth projections remain unchanged since its January 2018 forecast.
China is expected to slow down slightly from 6.9 per cent in 2017 to 6.5 per cent in 2018, 6.3 per cent in 2019 and 6.2 per cent in 2020, it said. India's growth potential is about 7 per cent, and it is currently growing at a pace above its potential, he said, attributing it to the major economic reforms and fiscal measures undertaken by the NDA government. agencies

Aussie gambling group a leader in "sustainable gaming"
The major Australian online and land gambling group Tabcorp has for the tenth time been ranked as the global gambling industry leader in the annual Dow Jones Sustainability Index for 2014.
The company received a 100 percent rating in the 'Promoting Responsible Gaming' category, a maximum rating it has received in this category for eight successive years.
Tabcorp managing director and CEO, David Attenborough said Friday that the group is committed to operating sustainably.
"Tabcorp's continued global leadership in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index is a testament to our commitment to a high standard of governance," Attenborough said, adding that the company operates with integrity and to the benefit of a wide range of stakeholders that includes investors, the racing industry and hotel and club partners.
Of the criterion on which 23 companies from across the globe in the casino and gaming sector were assessed, Tabcorp received the top score in 11 of the 19 measures.
Dow Jones assessed Tabcorp across economic, environmental and social dimensions. In addition to promoting responsible gambling, Tabcorp's other leading measures in its sustainability ranking include stakeholder engagement, anti-crime policy/measures, brand management, corporate governance and talent attraction and retention.
In the 2014 financial year, Tabcorp's businesses generated more than $500 million in taxes on gambling and income taxes paid and payable. The group is additionally the single largest supporter of the Australian racing industry, returning A$735 million last financial year.

The "ball" might be a smoky fire, with a strong wind blowing the plume of smoke downstream.
David Mulder
You think it has nothing to do with the plane thing below it? (or above it)
David, I think you are right. The "ball and plume" seems to be parallel to the plane and its condensation trail, just horizontally displaced.I bet it's an artifact of the imaging process. Perhaps a reflection of the plane and its contrail in the camera optics (the plane does seem unusually white in this image), or perhaps an effect of the way pixels are shifted out of the camera image sensor (sometimes a bright image does leave an "after-image"), or perhaps even the way that different aerial photos are combined into one large composite image.Here's the Google Maps link (with black top-bar goodness), which shows that the ball's trail fades away at the same distance as the plane's trail: maps.google.fi/maps?q=Peuram%C ...

England similar to Spain's 2010 World Cup winners – Garcia
England's team in Russia are showing similarities to Spain's World Cup winners of 2010, according to Luis Garcia.
Gareth Southgate's men overcame Colombia in the last 16 to move into a quarter-final clash against Sweden Saturday.
Garcia, who played 20 games for Spain, feels there are similarities between England and his nation's successful 2010 outfit.
"At least they are here. They are continuing in this World Cup which is something many people probably wouldn't say at the beginning of this competition," he said.
"What I see different, and I can compare them to the Spanish team of 2010, they are young, they are young players in that team, they want to do something big for their country.
"They showed [against Colombia] that in the end, even though they couldn't get the result in 90 minutes, they went through and that is what matters in these kinds of moments."
England – aiming to add to their only World Cup crown won in 1966 – meet Sweden in Samara Saturday, with the winner to face either Russia or Croatia.
