I like them man, professional.the bassline like is a blanket, drum and melodies punch through and vocal effects are just right. Mixing is very good. The songwriting and Vocals can be more exciting though, I think lol. but very good. I like it.
talking about New Roots btw. Boum is very good as well and changes up often enough to keep good attention. I like that one a lot too.

Thank you man
Your reggae beats are really good bro i like what i hear. How long have you been producing? Can't really think of any specific suggestions right now - just keep doing what you do and try to put out some more beats.
Feel free to check my thread as well btw and let me know what you think: Feedback on my new Hip Hop Reggae Beat?

I am producing since 3 years. I listened to your beats on soundcloud too. They are great. Maybe it will give me some inspiration for my future ones.
How long are you producing? May I ask you which VST (or samples?) you used for your skanks?
Nice to hear some proper dubby reggae! I think overall these sound pretty good - the drums could be a bit more hard-hitting, though. I'd personally prefer a bit more grit to the mixes as these are squeaky-clean and a bit sterile to my taste. But to each his own, and that's obviously just a preference thing.

Thank you for your feedback, I will try to take it into account for my future beats

When we are arguing about whether or not the "inequality" narrative is misleading, it detracts from us talking about the real heart of the issue, writes Professor Kristy Muir.
Almost 18 months ago I had a detached retina that required some fairly invasive surgery and lots of follow-up appointments. Every time I go to see my very talented surgeon, I join tens of people waiting to see the eye specialists in the retina clinic. When I walk into the room, I usually bring the average age down by almost half. Sometimes another younger person is also in the room. We could have a long conversation about the age differential in the room and how that changes over time and why, but if we spend too much time talking about this, we're distracted from the real story – people's sight and how we save, maximise and/or improve it.
I feel a little bit the same about the argument on inequality in Australia and whether it is going up or down. While we spend a lot of time talking about how to interpret whether rates are rising or stable, we're distracted from dealing with the elephant in the room and the heart of the issue – entrenched disadvantage.
Recently the Guardian published a piece about the Australian Bureau of Statistics not wanting to "draw attention" to the wealth inequality results, but rather focused on developing a "good media story" about income inequality.
The ABS headline that "inequality is stable" was, at best, lacking an important descriptive word - "income" - and, at worst, misleading. The ABS was only reporting on income; not the other important measure of inequality: wealth.
As Sheil and Stilwell covered in The Conversation, ABS wealth data is "not a picture of stable inequality" but rather growing wealth inequality. In 2003-04 the top 20% held 59% of the nation's wealth. By 2013-14 they held 62.1% and by 2017-18, it was 63.4%. Over the same time period, "The wealth share of every other quintile fell."
The ABS admits that "there is greater inequality in the distribution of wealth than income." The net worth of the top 20% of households is a staggering 93 times that of the lowest 20%. In dollars, that's a mean net worth of $3.2m per household for the top 20% (up from $2.9 million in 2015-16) compared to just $35,200 for the bottom 20%. This leaves the top 20% controlling more than 60% of all household wealth.
Income inequality has remained largely stagnant because of the lack of wage growth across the country over the past five years. This does not take away the fact that the top 20% of households' mean income is nearly five times more than the lowest income households and Australia ranking 22nd on the OECD's income inequality indicator.
But, let me stop with the income and wealth inequality statistics for a moment.
While we are arguing about whether wealth inequality or income inequality has gone up or down, we are taking our eyes off the bigger issue: entrenched disadvantage.
Approximately three million people in Australia (13.2%) live below the relative poverty line (50% of median household disposable income), including 739,000 children (17.3% of all children). That's around 1 in 8 adults and over 1 in 6 of our children (Poverty in Australia 2018).
Over the past two decades, while we have had unprecedented consecutive years of annual economic growth, these poverty rates have affected at least 1 in 10 adults and at least 1 in 7 of our children (since 1999 poverty rates have fluctuated between 11.5%-14.4% for adults and 14.3% and 18.6% for children).
We have failed to address entrenched disadvantage. Our freezing of social security rates, such as Newstart, have not helped. For many people living in poverty (53%), social security is their main source of income (compared to 7% of people whose main source of income is wages). It is important to note though that 38% of all people in poverty live in wage-earning households. Therefore entrenched disadvantage is a problem for people living in households with and without jobs.
As we enter October and get closer to anti-poverty week, we need to take a close look at what entrenched disadvantage means for people experiencing it and our society more broadly. We also need to look beyond the economic indicators to understand quality of life and how we're progressing as a society. To do this, the Centre for Social Impact has teamed up with the Social Progress Imperative and will be launching the Australian Social Progress Index in November as part of Amplify Social Impact.
Irrespective of arguments about inequality rising or falling, the reality is that life is supremely tough for those at the bottom. We need to see clearly what that looks like from an individual, family, community and society perspective and stay focused on working together to address it.

Last Sunday me and M decided to give some Halloween make up a go.
You might have seen us talk about our actual Halloween plans on twitter, if not, then we're saving our costumes for another post as we've been looking forward to this for months!
We got together and spent a few hours playing around with make up.
As we didn't have any halloween make up and only normal stuff we were limited but it was definitely a lot of fun!
Here's M's look:
I was looking at YouTube videos for inspiration and went with one for the Black Dahlia. This is a great look for Halloween if you want to look good. It can be easily recreated with make up you own and most likely clothes you have. Black lace top/dress and black tights. It would look great finished with a black piece of lace for a veil. For this I used a pale foundation and dusted white powder over my face. I still contoured my cheeks as usual so that the face has shape.
For the eyes, darken the eyebrows. I used black eyeshadow for the brows. It looked very scouse brow and was so strange looking at myself with dark brows! I then piled on dark purples around the eyes, using a set from Boots Xmas range and one of L's Mac eyeshadows. I then used black eyeshadow in the crease of the eye and blended.
I lined the eyes in black and extended the purple under my lashes a little. I loaded on mascara but false lashes would be best for a night out. The tears. This was tricky. On the video it said to use glycerine (available from supermarkets in the baking aisle) As L and I were just testing out looks I tried loading my bottom lashes and making myself cry watching sad YouTube videos. Much to L's amusement. Surprisingly it didn't work. Soldiers coming home usually has me in floods much to my other halfs amusement. After trying a few other things L dropped some lense solution in my eyes to create tear stains.
For the lips I used a bright red and then lined the edges with shadow to darken it. The New Matte Kate Moss for Rimmel Lipstick in 107 would be amazing for this look. I also accentuated my cupids bow for a more defined lip.
Here's L's look:
I decided to go for a scary dead person.
It went against everything I know about make up to make my face look like this but it was a lot of fun and I look so scary!
First of all I applied the white shimmery Barry M dazzle dust all over my face.
This came out a weird and deathly grey colour on my skin which was perfect.
I then used a matt grey eyeshadow from an unknown brand to hollow my cheeks and eyes and temples, pretty much the same way that you would if you were to contour in the style of Kim Kardashian.
I also applied concealer to my lips to whiten them out a bit, and applied the white dazzle dust on top to blend them in a bit better.
I then did the same with my eyebrows as they're so dark that they stood out and didn't look right.
You can see the hollow of my eyes has been made darker with the grey matte shadow, and then I applied black very heavily around my whole eye, even thickly underneath which is normally a no no!
I definitely think the contouring helps to make your face look more defined.
Here are our final looks!
What do you think? We both love playing around with make up. Are you dressing up for Halloween? We can't wait!
Love L and M

Korean title: 무극 (Moo-geuk)
What's popping:
It's hilarious…in all the wrong places. A supposedly emo moment got me tickled pink and the fantastical elements here border on the ridiculous.
Star-studded as it is, Nicholas Tse, Cecilia Cheung, Hiroyuki Sanada and Jang Dong-gun (장동건) could not prevent this epic flick from being the epic flop that it is.
The plot:
Lots of men, one chick. The men all fall for the woman, but she is forbidden to love. Jang Dong-gun plays a slave named Kunlun. He is such a swift runner, he can run back into time. As my fav hero would say, WHOA.
Watch it:
Please don't.

Business Development
The Business Development District is a special financing incentive program created to encourage the development of new business in targeted areas of Washington:
U.S. 24/Cummings/Cruger District
The City of Washington has identified the North Cummings Lane corridor and the Cruger Road Corridor in the vicinity of U.S. Route 24 as a commercial and industrial Business Development District. The district boundaries are indicated on the attached map. To enable and encourage new growth and development, the City of Washington has initiated, participated in, or facilitated a number of recent infrastructure improvements in this area, including:
- Reconstruction of North Cummings Lane from Washington Road to U.S. Route 24 in 1992;
- Completion of the U.S. Route 24 bypass north of Washington in 1994;
- Extension of water, sanitary sewer, and natural gas mains along North Cummings Lane in 1994;
- Extension of a water main along Cruger Road to Independence Court in 2001;
- Reconstruction of Cruger Road from North Cummings Lane to Nofsinger Road in 2003; and
- Extension of a sanitary sewer main along Cruger Road to North Cummings Lane in 2004.
Local Objective
The City wishes to actively encourage new commercial and industrial business development in this district by offering this special financing incentive program to developers. This program will enable attractive development on vacant properties and redevelopment of existing properties at a primary entrance to the community. This new business development will increase local services and amenities, increase employment opportunities, and increase sales and property tax revenues to the City and other taxing bodies.
Type of Assistance
In addition to other development incentives such as the Enterprise Zone program, the City Council may consider the establishment of a Special Assessment or Special Service Area to finance all or a portion of the cost to construct public improvements, including and limited to:
- Roadways and streets
- Street lights, traffic controls and signage
- Water mains and components
- Sidewalks and pedestrian ways
- Sanitary sewer mains and componenets
- Storm water detention facilities
- Storm sewer mains and components
- Surface restoration and landscaping
Qualification Standards
For a proposed development to qualify, the following standards must be met:
1. The property must be located within the identified Business Development District;
2. The property must be commercially or industrially zoned, or planned for such land uses;
3. The development project must meet all City code requirements and the Comprehensive Plan; and
4. The development project must result in one or more of the following:
- Existing jobs retained or new jobs created;
- New or increased real estate and sales taxes;
- High-technology, "clean" industries or businesses;
- Potential for subsequent, ancillary development;
- Fill an existing, local business void or lack of sufficient capacity; or
- Diversification of the local business economy.
Program Limitations and Provisions
1. There shall be no expectation of "public benefit" on any eligible project.
2. The sum of all City financing for all eligible projects within the district shall not exceed $1.5 million.
3. The City will assume no out-of-pocket costs directly related to the bond issuance (i.e. legal fees, printing fees, etc.).
4. The City will assume no responsibility for the placement of the bonds.
5. Project financing shall be limited to commercial or industrial projects only. In the event of a mixed-use development that includes residential housing or other non-eligible uses, the maximum amount of City bond financing shall be based on the pro rata portion of the total developable area planned for commercial and industrial use.
6. In the event that any property previously benefited by this program will be used or rezoned for a non-commercial or non-industrial use, the full outstanding assessment on the affected parcel(s) shall be due and payable to the City prior to zoning approval or building permit issuance.
7. The City reserves the right to approve or deny its participation in any project.
8. The City will consider financing requests in the order of which they are received.
9. Any project that receives the tentative approval of the Washington City Council shall have one year in which to conclude the financing. If financing is not obtained within a year, the tentative approval shall immediately expire.
Project qualification and financing options will be considered by the City Council on an individual case basis.
If you have questions about this special program or would like to submit a written request,

This last week was a good week for Democrats, the first they've had in a long time. Republicans lost their supermajority in the Virginia House of Delegates, and there's a slim possibility they might lose their majority altogether. Chris Christie's political career has completed it's long, drawn-out slide into humiliation and disgrace, and his chosen successor got annihilated in New Jersey. Maine rebuked its governor and voted to expand Medicaid.
This gives Democrats cause for optimism going forward. No doubt I'm not alone in feeling as though everything has been turned upside-down since last year. But believe it or not, there are some rules that still apply. And one of those rules is that unpopular Presidents are bad news for the incumbent party. Indeed, the blatant idiocy and incompetence on display in the White House was apparently the deciding factor for many Virginia voters.
So what should Democrats focus on doing going into the midterms? Admittedly, I'm just a humble guy with a blog, and not a political strategist. That said, there's three things I'd argue Democrats should do for next year.
1. Focus on the base, not on peeling off "moderate" Republicans
I don't want to dismiss anti-Trump conservatives out of hand here. Lord knows we need more principled voices on the right. That said, making overtures to these voters was Hillary Clinton's gambit, and Hillary Clinton lost. It's obviously been a catastrophic failure of a strategy.
Why did it fail? It failed for the simple reason that anti-Trumpers are, at best, a completely marginal force in American politics. Trump is more popular among Republicans voters than most other Republicans, and they're sticking with him. Praying that Republicans see the light and come around is not a winning strategy. Partisanship is just too strong for this to work. Republicans by and large hate liberals. No matter how awful their guy is, the vast majority of them will never, ever vote for Democrats. Appealing to the small fraction who aren't like the rest means fewer resources to spend on appealing to larger groups of voters.
Instead, what Democrats need to do is go all out in turning out the vote. Forget trying to woo disaffected Republicans. The Democratic base is disaffected enough already. A septuagenarian socialist was able to seriously give Hillary Clinton a run for her money, and she suffered from a consistent lack of enthusiasm all throughout the campaign.
When asked what Democrats should take away from the 2016 election, Keith Ellison put it perfectly:
We learned that voter turnout is absolutely essential, and turnout is driven by three things: a great message, some credible evidence that you're going to do it, and a delivery system. You have to knock doors, make calls, and build a relationship with voters long before Election Day. A year before. Two years before. That lesson was painfully learned.
All other things being equal, higher turnout is better for Democrats than for Republicans. And that means getting people to the polls should be the party's top priority. That means energizing the base with a powerful message. It means keeping people registered and combating Republican efforts to suppress turnout. What it does not mean is endorsing establishment Republican positions in an attempt to claim "the center." Even if you win some disaffected, Trump-hating Republicans over, you trade off enthusiasm among your own base. The Democrats made this mistake once. They cannot afford to make it again.
2. This is politics—be willing to suffer fools
OK, look. I'm a college educated New Yorker. My parents were lab scientists. I went back to school for history because I enjoy history. I'm practically a textbook example of the smug, latte-sipping liberal elite Trump is always yammering on about. And I'll be the first to admit that an awful lot of voters believe some really whacky, stupid, and totally unjustifiable things. Things that I read or hear, and immediately want to start smashing my head against the desk again and again, they're just that stupid.
But dismissing peoples' beliefs out of hand, no matter how insane, no matter how much you know they're insane, is simply terrible politics. Besides coming across as condescending, it looks like you're not even willing to engage what people think. Which is a problem. Because if you look like you're not listening, you're going to have a hard time winning votes.
Don't get me wrong, I know it's hard. Democrats are up against brazen liars who are so obviously a bunch of brazen liars, it's truly a wonder that everyone else doesn't see what brazen liars they are. Unfortunately, Democrats have to work with the electorate they have, not the electorate they should have. If the electorate doesn't dismiss Republicans as a bunch of brazen liars out of hand, then Democrats can't afford to either.
Recall back to the 2012 election for a minute. The consensus after the first debate was that Romney cleaned Obama's clock. This wasn't because of anything of substance on Romney's part. Romney was wildly gish galloping, jumping from half-truth to half-truth with a few true statements and a great many false ones thrown in for good measure.
No, the reason why it was because Obama didn't seem remotely engaged. He really looked like he thought the debate was a waste of his time, and it showed. It was as if Obama was thinking to himself, "Oh my God, I actually have to debate this schmuck? What the hell? He's not even making sense, he just skips from half-assed point to half-assed point. There's no way people buy this, is there?"
Fortunately, Obama got better, and in the next two debates didn't come across as so aloof. Democrats need to do the same between now and next November. No more using "Have you seen the other guys?" as a campaign slogan. Guys, we already know that people voted in an unqualified moron once. They'll do it again. Don't shake your heads in disbelief, craft a message that gives them something else to vote for.
3. For God's sake, dump Hillary Clinton already
I voted for Clinton last year. I have no regrets about doing so. Furthermore, I think she gets unfairly maligned more often than not. Clinton strikes me a technocratic, wonkish politician, clearly more comfortable with policy than with campaigning. Fact checking bears this out. Despite her reputation for duplicity, when it comes to honesty about policy, Clinton scores about the same as Bernie Sanders and Barack Obama, and beats out almost the entire Republican field. And yes, she's had lots of accusations of scandal leveled against her. But most of them—Whitewater, Vince Foster, Filegate, Benghazi, the Foundation—turned out to be utter bunk.
Having said that, Hillary Clinton is deeply unpopular. And it really doesn't matter whether this is all her fault or due to being unfairly maligned. An unpopular face is the last thing the Democratic Party needs. She needs to go away, and liberals need to shut up about whatever it is she's up to nowadays. Obviously, they can't control what Fox and the rest of the Republican propaganda machine talk about, but they can at least make their jobs a bit more difficult.
If Democrats really care about stopping Trump, being tied to Hillary Clinton is likely to hamper them. They need to clearly show that they're distancing themselves from her—she is, after all, one of the few people less popular than Trump is. Clinton doesn't inspire much enthusiasm even among the Democratic base. And the Democratic Party needs to energize the base, something that will never happen if it looks like it's continuing to ignore it. Whatever you think of Clinton, whether you think it's fair or unfair to her does't matter one whit. This is a matter of political necessity.

- Notes:
- Significance: The Old Marin County Courthouse, built in 1872-1873, housed all of the county offices, courts and jail, until 1969 when the last offices were moved to the new county civic center. The two story and basement brick building was designed by the pioneer San Francisco architects, Henry Kenitzer and Edward T. Raun, who had arrived in California during the Gold Rush. The courthouse was one of the last public buildings to be built in California during the late Greek Revival period, employing the Corinthian order. With the longest recorded history of any California county, dating from Cabrillo's visit in 1542 and that of Captain Francis Drake in 1579, Marin's historic sites and structures have suffered more through the ravages of time, fire and destruction than those of any other section of the State. The old County Courthouse in San Rafael remains one of the few existing buildings linking the present with the County's heritage of the past. In 1817 Mission San Rafael Arcangel was founded in a sheltered and secluded spot fifteen miles north of the Golden Gate. It was established as an asistencia of Mission San Francisco Asis (Mission Dolores) to car for victims of a pestilence that had broken out among the converts of that Mission. With the secularization of the missions in 1834, San Rafael Arcangel became the property of the Mexican government and was sold at public auction in 1845. Marin County was incorporated on February 18, 1850, at a time when a bitter fight was being waged in Congress over a bill to admit California as a state, President Taylor and a majority of the Democratic Party favoring retention of the territorial status. The bill was finally passed at a third reading but by no means unanimously; there being 150 ayes to 56 noes. President Taylor died on July 9th and the then Vice-President, Millard Fillmore, succeeded to the Presidency. Fortunately, Fillmore favored the inclusion of California and when the bill went to him, he approved and signed it on September 9, 1850; California becoming the 31st State with Marin one of the original 27 Counties, and San Rafael the County Seat. The first reference to it as such is in Meret's Chronolgoy where, in 1851, San Rafael is referred to as the "County Seat." As the County has grown in population and development, Marin, in common with many of the other California Counties, has undergone various changes in political subdivisions, townships, school districts etc. but San Rafael has always remained the seat of County government. The need for a County Building and lock-up had been met in 1851 by converting one of the old mission buildings into a "juzgado" (Hoose-gow) for this purpose, and so it was used until 1853. In that latter year the courts were transferred to an adobe, built and formerly owned by Timothy Murphy, a pioneer settler in the county, and there they were held for the next twenty years.

Please use the following steps to determine whether you need to fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room to view the original item(s). In some cases, a surrogate (substitute image) is available, often in the form of a digital image, a copy print, or microfilm.
Is the item digitized? (A thumbnail (small) image will
be visible on the left.)
Yes, the item is digitized. Please use the digital image in preference to requesting the original. All images can be viewed at a large size when you are in any reading room at the Library of Congress. In some cases, only thumbnail (small) images are available when you are outside the Library of Congress because the item is rights restricted or has not been evaluated for rights restrictions.
As a preservation measure, we generally do not serve an original item when a digital image is available. If you have a compelling reason to see the original, consult with a reference librarian. (Sometimes, the original is simply too fragile to serve. For example, glass and film photographic negatives are particularly subject to damage. They are also easier to see online where they are presented as positive images.)
No, the item is not digitized. Please go to #2.
Do the Access Advisory or Call Number fields above indicate that
a non-digital surrogate exists, such as microfilm or copy prints?
Yes, another surrogate exists. Reference staff can direct you to this surrogate.
No, another surrogate does not exist. Please go to #3.
If you do not see a thumbnail image or a reference to another surrogate, please fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room. In many cases, the originals can be served in a few minutes. Other materials require appointments for later the same day or in the future. Reference staff can advise you in both how to fill out a call slip and when the item can be served.

Intermediated Quantities and Returns
Intermediated Quantities and Returns
Date Written: February 16, 2009
The difference between average borrowing and lending rates in the United States is over 2 percent. In spite of this large difference, there is over 1.7 times GNP in 2007 of intermediated borrowing and lending between households. In this paper a model is developed consistent with these facts. The only difference within an age cohort is preferences for bequests. Individuals with little or no bequest motive are lenders, while individuals with strong bequest motive are borrowers and owners of productive capital. Given no aggregate uncertainty, the return on equity is the same as the household borrowing rate. The government can borrow at the household lending rate, so there is a 2 percent equity premium in our world with no aggregate uncertainty. We examine the distribution and life cycle patterns of asset holding and consumption and find there is large dispersion in asset holdings and little in consumption.

Distraught players of the Ghana Black Stars have arrived in the country following a disappointing run at the ongoing African Cup of Nations.
Perhaps to evade the prying eyes of the media and disappointed supporters, the players who arrived Wednesday dawn together with GFA officials were received by few family members and friends.

The team travelled without Andy Yiadom and Caleb Ekuban who have already left

Friend, would you recognize a "good client" if you saw one?
A pulse and a checkbook should not be the only requirements.
Do you frequently accept a client you THOUGHT was going to be right for you…only to discover down the road that they're costing you time, frustration and maybe even money?
Just like in dating, there has to be compatibility in your client relationships.
This is why it's CRUCIAL for you to figure out early on, whether your potential client is someone who you can do your best work with—someone who energizes and inspires you.
What's going on here?
To answer, I want to point out, first and foremost, we are all human beings… just know that the less-than-ideal client for us will be ideal for someone else.
The key is to RECOGNIZE an ideal client when you meet one, so you don't waste time (theirs or your) forming a client relationship that will be a struggle.
Why is this important?
If you can tell early on that a potential lead is RIGHT for you, you won't waste weeks, months or years trying to "change" them or you into something neither of you are.
There are 3 profound truths about client relationships:
- The client you CHOOSE is the one you GET.
- YOU are ultimately responsible for your desperation or inspiration — because you selected the client.
- You can't change a client or "make" them ideal. The client has their own way, based on their own internal and external needs, desires, motivations and goals.
Take a moment right now and ask yourself: "What qualities would "my ideal client" absolutely need to possess in order for me to do my best work with them?"
Be honest and don't worry about excluding people, yet remember that qualities are not circumstances… Circumstances change, qualities rarely do.
Have a great day whatever your adventure
To Success! To Life!

Sheppartonian makes teddy bears for neighbourhoodBy Spencer Fowler Steen
Shepparton's Ros Burgess has been keeping busy during isolation, making little teddy bears for kids in the Boulevard Estate neighbourhood.
Ms Burgess' daughter, Amy Barclay, said the little bears had been a massive hit so far.
"She gave me 50 of them to put in a box out the front of my house, and in less than two days, all of them were gone," she said.
The idea originated when Ms Barclay told her mum about a new phenomenon going on in the neighbourhood, where people were putting teddy bears in their front windows for kids to go on 'bear hunts' for.
"When I told her kids were doing bear hunts, she decided to make some," Ms Barclay said.
"Mum usually babysits my two-year-old son, but we've made arrangements so Mum isn't minding him, so she's got a lot of spare time and a lot of scrap material lying around."
Ms Barclay said her mum loved to sew, knit and crochet, normally donating her hand-crafted goods to her local church in Tatura or school fetes.
"She's been sewing most of her life," she said.
"She's always done clothing alterations and amendments, but she hates getting recognition for it."
Ms Barclay said she had received a lot of positive feedback and photos of kids with the teddy bears on Facebook.
One resident commented her appreciation for the bears on Facebook.
"Thank you so much Amy," she said.
"We've collected ours today and the kids love them. They have played with them all afternoon and now they're taking them to bed with their every-night snuggle toys."
Another said he was glad to have moved to Shepparton.
"Great neighbourhood to live in, so glad we moved up from Melbourne to be a part of such a great community spirit."
Ms Barclay said her Mum, armed with her sewing and embroidery machines, might be cooking up something else very soon.

Kim Davis, the Rowan County clerk who is locked in a legal battle over issuing same-sex marriage licenses is back in the headlines. State law requires county clerks to issue marriage licenses to all 'legally qualified' couples, and that now includes same-sex couples.
Davis refused saying it is against her religious beliefs to issue a marriage license to a same-sex couple. After she refused to do so, a federal judge threw her in jail for five days in September. She now wants to be able to keep her name off of marriage licenses.
The governor-elect in Kentucky – a conservative Republican who stunningly rallied from behind to defeat a powerful Democrat candidate, the state's attorney general – says one of his first acts will be to formalize an accommodation for county clerks whose religious beliefs are being violated by demands they issue "same-sex marriage" licenses.
Matt Bevin on Friday confirmed he will work on a solution in a situation that came to a head for Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis when she refused an order from U.S. District Judge David Bunning to violate her faith and issue "same-sex marriage" licenses and he sent her to jail.
At Kentucky.com, AP reported Bevin "vowed to remove the names of county clerks from marriage licenses."
Officials with Liberty Counsel, who have been representing Davis, and continue to fight her appeals at the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, said it is a clear victory for Davis.
Liberty Counsel said in a statement, "The people of Kentucky have overwhelmingly spoken in support of Kim Davis and others who believe our nation should be a place where all people can live out their faith without fear of being put in prison. This is a day that our constitutional principles are being used as intended to protect innocent people from undue harm. This promise is a clear, simple path to resolving all the legal efforts on behalf of Davis."
Mat Staver, founder of Liberty Counsel, added, "Kim Davis and Liberty Counsel applaud Governor Elect Matt Bevin for his leadership in protecting the rights of conscience of all county clerks."
"It is refreshing to have someone with the integrity, character, and concern of Matt Bevin leading the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Gov. Steve Beshear could have resolved this marriage license issue a long time ago, but he chose to ignore the plea for help. Gov. Elect Bevin's impending executive order is a welcome relief for Kim Davis and should be for everyone who cherishes religious freedom."
When Bunning ordered Davis jailed, Bevin said in a statement campaign that such draconian actions were "utterly unnecessary."
"There is a simple solution that would respect the rights of every Kentuckian. I first put this solution forward many weeks ago," he said.
"Why the cowardly silence from our attorney general, Jack Conway? Jack Conway violated his oath of office as attorney general when he refused to defend our state in court. Where was our governor then demanding his resignation? The double standard applied in this case is reprehensible. Jack Conway refused to defend our state constitution, and now he is refusing to stand up for the religious liberties of our county clerks. This is unconscionable and, as governor, I will stand up for all Kentuckians, not just the ones who agree with me."
In his plan announced weeks earlier, Bevin said Beshear should have immediately provided an accommodation for people of faith.
"When the Supreme Court changed Kentucky's definition of marriage, it also changed the job description of our county clerks and other officials currently involved in the state sanctioning of marriage," he said at the time.
"It is understood that Kentucky must uphold the new law and find a way to process and recognize same-sex marriage. However, that does not mean we must do so at the expense of the constitutionally afforded religious liberties of other Kentucky citizens. It is not a matter of one or the other, but rather of both. Equal protection under the law means exactly that."
He continued: "It is incumbent upon the governor and the Kentucky legislature to represent all of the Commonwealth's citizens, and uphold their individual liberties. To the extent those liberties come into conflict, such as in the case here, we should look for the least restrictive means to providing necessary government services. "
Bevin pointed out that the Supreme Court's creation of same-sex marriage left many laws and standards in doubt, and he would want to work with lawmakers to clear that up.

Japan hailed as 'an example for all teams' after leaving dressing room spotlessly clean with a note of thanks in Russian after dramatic World Cup defeat by Belgium
After the agonising nature of their last-16 defeat by Belgium, Japan's World Cup squad and their thousands of fans would have been forgiven for leaving the Rostov Arena as swiftly as possible.
A number of Japan players were in tears after being knocked out of the tournament when a late, late goal from Nacer Chadli sealed a 3-2 comeback victory for Belgium.
But, as revealed by FIFA general coordinator Priscilla Janssens on Twitter, Japan's squad went to extra lengths to thank their hosts in Russia as they bowed out.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Now THAT is a class act!

Super Bowl Brands Failing to Build Buzz
The thrill is (apparently) gone
You've already seen at least a couple of the ads set to run during Sunday's Big Game, but something has changed: according to research firm iSpot and others, the thrill is gone.
Claire Atkinson of The New York Post reported on the phenomenon earlier this week: ads and their teasers just aren't attracting as much attention this year as in years past.
So far, Bud Light's Pac Man ad, created by Energy BBDO of Chicago, has more views than any other but doesn't match the number of "social actions" and online activity of its sexier peers. The biggest ad in every other sense of the word is this one for Carl's Jr. by creative agency 72andSunny. The borderline-offensive spot has more than five million views on YouTube so far, but the "will it attract customers?" question remains unanswered.
A new T-Mobile spot starring one Kim Kardashian also scored plenty of mentions on gossip blogs this morning — but multiple research firms report that all relevant KPIs are down this year. Google searches for related brands dropped by nearly a third from 2014, and five million views barely qualifies as "viral" in our current media landscape.
You also won't be seeing Matthew McConaughey in the second quarter of Super Bowl XLIX: many car brands like Lincoln and Volkswagen, long known as the Big Game's big spenders, chose to sit on the sidelines in 2015.
Last week, Jim Joseph of Cohn&Wolfe told us that he thinks the big winner of next week's game may be a total surprise. We feel like he could be right…though we hope this year's champion isn't as dull as last year's game.
Will any brand match 2014's Budweiser dog-and-pony ad? And will traditional TV advertising struggle to prove its worth in a content-drenched market?
(This is where PR comes in…)

The more you think about grace, the more amazing it becomes. Your mind cannot truly conceive it. It is something that must be taken in through the heart.
Grace is better than "the benefit of the doubt." When someone gives you the benefit of the doubt, they are choosing to turn a blind eye and allow for excuses why you act a certain way. A person giving you the benefit of the doubt is overlooking something you have said or done because they want to believe you're really a good person down deep in there somewhere. Grace, on the other hand, knows exactly the reasons you said something or behaved a certain way...and makes a covenant to love you and cover you anyway.
That's what Jesus did. That's who Jesus is.
Years ago, I used to drive down to Waco every Monday night during the school year with friends so we could attend Choice, a night of worship and teaching with Louie Giglio. Choice was the place I first learned what it meant to be a worshipper. It is where I first abandoned myself in worship to my Lord, so I have very fond memories of that place and that time in my life. One of the songs that came out of Choice was "Grace Flows Down." I haven't been able to find the original recording, but here's a version of Christy Nockels singing it in one of the Passion conferences: Grace Flows Down.
Amazing Grace - how sweet the sound
Amazing Love now flowing down
From hands and feet that were nailed to the tree
His grace flows down and covers me
And covers me
And covers me
And covers me
And covers me
I love that! It covers me...and covers me...and covers me. It never stops. I could spend hours and days thinking about that fact.
But, that brings me back to reality...and how grace works in my life. The concept and the experience are so moving, so powerful - but if I just receive grace, I have not fully grasped it. Once you have been freed by grace, you have a mandate to then free others by grace. "What do you mean?" you might be thinking. Well, I'm glad you asked.
Now that Tim and I have been married for several years, we know each other pretty well. I know that he leaves his clothes on the floor in our room, and he knows that I leave all my shoes in the front living room. He knows that cleaning is not my favorite thing, and I know that changing diapers is not his favorite thing. He knows that I spend too much time on the computer and I know that he does, too, sometimes. There are many other worse things, but you catch my drift. In marriage, there are so many little, piddly things that can eat at you. The clothes on the floor, the mess left behind, the way he says something to you repeatedly, the little STUFF. Then, when something big comes against you - financial trouble, an affair, a loss of a child, a death in the family - something really big, you have no reserves to deal with the situation. This is why GRACE is so absolutely important in your marriage and in your family relationships. It covers...and covers...and covers...and covers...and doesn't stop.
In case you didn't know, we're all really messed up! We have quirks, flaws and serious issues that we're not free from yet. But grace can cover over those things - and can actually transform us and set us free. When Jesus let His blood flow out of His mortal body, He saw every nasty sin from every person from all of time. He grabbed on to that burden of sin from all of humanity, carried it in His body and did away with it - so He could extend grace to us. He knew the reality and loved us anyway. He loved us enough to let it kill Him...so that we could be transformed through His grace.
When your husband is irking you by the same old pattern of behavior, grace can transform him. When you find yourself cursing under your breath that you have to pick up dirty laundry off the floor for the thousandth time, grace can transform you. When you feel like verbally lashing out at your husband for something stupid he just did, grace can transform the situation. When you respond out of grace, the atmosphere changes.
Grace knows what the reality is - that your husband leaves his underwear on the floor two feet in front of the hamper. But grace says, "I love you anyway," and picks it up for him. It covers him. And it keeps covering him.
Grace is not something you can muster up or clench your jaw tight enough to create. Grace is received - and then grace can be extended. Grace must dwell in you for grace to flow out of you. If you have given your life to Jesus, then Grace does dwell in you! Now you have the choice to let that grace flow or not. Nobody else on earth has been given the role of covering your husband like you. You have a precious and valuable role to play: grace-giver. The next time you feel your blood start to boil or your eye start to twitch like a crazy person, ask the Holy Spirit to stir up grace in you and let it flow out. Be the grace-giver the Lord designed you to be - and watch the amazing transformation.
...and grace flows down and covers me...

"He had a face that was so handsome that it didn't look real. He could have been a composite man created by God … or the devil!" - George Abbott, director of the musical Damn Yankees.How sad. One of the sexiest stars to come out [excuse the phrase - he eventually did; but not until he published his memoirs in 2005] of the Henry Willson stable in the 50s [alongside the likes of Rock Hudson, Rory Calhoun, Troy Donahue and Robert Wagner], the lovely Tab Hunter has died, a few days short of his 87th birthday.
After the flurry of "dreamboat" roles that made his name, his star declined until the 1980s - when a certain John Waters secured him a role starring opposite none other than Divine in Polyester. After that, his "camp cult icon" status was assured... His aforementioned autobiography Tab Hunter Confidential [its title itself a reference to the Hollywood gossip-rag that attempted to expose his sexuality at the height of his career; a libel lawsuit later, he survived the scandal - all the while maintaining a real-life relationship with Antony Perkins] was even made into a film in its own right by his own long-term partner (and director of Tab's other Divine collaboration, Lust in the Dust) Allan Glaser.
By all accounts a genuinely lovely man, he will be missed for all that - but by heavens, he truly was gorgeous!
RIP Tab Hunter (born Arthur Gelien, 11th July 1931 - 9th July 2018).

When it comes to Cajun food, you can't miss out on this flavorful delicacy. Shrimp plays a staple part of Cajun cuisine. For those who have never had this dish before, coconut shrimp is basically shrimp rolled in coconut crumbs, deep fried to a crispy coating and served immediately. And believe us, after the first bite, you know you can't just have one for the rest of the night! Dishes like these are what make cajun catering an exciting part of the catering community.
Yield: 1 LB, 6 Servings
Time: 1 Hr
What you need:
For cooking supplies:
3 medium bowls
2 big plates or sheet pans
parchment paper
Deep fryer
1 pound raw large shrimp, head removed, peeled and deveined with tails attached
2 large eggs
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
3/4 cup Panko bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
vegetable oil or coconut oil for frying
(To make it even more coconuty, highly recommend to use coconut oil for frying the shrimp!)
Chives, fine diced for garnish
Add enough oil to cover the bottom of the deep fryer and Heat up to 375°F while you're preparing for the shrimp.
Start with 3 medium bowls:
In the first bowl: finely combine the flour, salt, and all 3 kinds of pepper.
In the second bowl: Beat the eggs (egg wash).
In the third bowl: finely combine Panko bread crumbs and sweetened shredded coconut.
Grab the shrimp by the tail and dip it individually into the flour, then the egg wash, and then pressing gently to make sure the shrimp is well-coated into the coconut breading mix.
Layer a parchment paper on a plate or a sheet pan before you set the coated shrimp on top of it.
Repeat the coating process for the remaining shrimp.
When the fryer is ready, fry the coconut shrimp in small batches which means don't overlapping them or crowd them together in the fryer. Fry like 6 at one time.
Lift up the frying basket after 2 minutes and wait 30 seconds to let it cool down a little, then dip it back into the fryer again for another 2 minutes or until the shrimp turned golden brown. (If you prefer your coconut shrimp a bit more crispy, fry them 3 minutes each time until the color is a little darker than golden brown.)
Prepare another sheet pan lined with paper towels. Place the finished coconut shrimp as you fry the rest.
After frying all the shrimp, plate them the way you prefer.
Serve with your favorite sweet chili sauce (optional).
Garnish with a sprinkle chopped chives (optional).
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Cooking Notes:
If you have some leftover coconut shrimp, keeps it well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

IEA: 100 years on from the Russian Revolution
Kate Andrews
Original Broadcast:
IEA show
The 8th of November marks the centenary of the October Revolution, which transformed Russia and reshaped the course of history. 100 years on, the IEA's Kristian Niemietz and Madeline Grant discuss what lessons, if any, we've learnt from socialism's history of around the world; from the Soviet Union, to Cuba, to Venezuela. Kristian also traces the complicated relationship left-wing Western intellectuals have had with socialist regimes – and examines whether the right has also been, historically, guilty of similar revisionism.

Arsenal transfer news: Kylian Mbappe was once visited by a desperate Arsene Wenger at his house in a bid to tempt the Monaco striker to the Emirates
Arsenal boss revealed he made a personal plea to the hot property to try and convince him to join the Gunners
ARSENE WENGER has revealed that he paid a home visit to Kylian Mbappe to try and persuade him to join Arsenal.
The Gunners boss wanted the Monaco hot property to switch to the Emirates before he signed a new contract in March 2016.
And in an interview with BeIN Sports, Wenger said he almost secured Mbappe's signature.
"The player would tell you that I was at his home last year to try to get him here," Wenger said.
Keep up to date with all the latest news, gossip, rumours and done deals in SunSport's live transfer blog
"Because he was at the end of his contract but Monaco managed to keep him and the decision was very, very tight.
"But I could understand it as well because he was educated there and at the end decided to stay there."
Mbappe has all the big European clubs trailing his signature this summer after bursting onto the scene at Monaco.
Man City and Real Madrid are the only clubs who have lodged an official interest in the 18-year-old striker as of yet.
And Monaco's asking price will eclipse the £89m Manchester United paid Juventus for Paul Pogba last summer.
United and Paris Saint-Germain are eyeing the situation too.
The two big-spending clubs have kicked off the race for the most sought-after teenager in the game which will hot up in the run-up to the end of the season.

Are you satisfied with your job? If you are anything like those recently surveyed by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), then the answer is probably no.
The figures tell us that the big squeeze on UK workers following the 2008 crash continues unabated and might even be getting worse. Job satisfaction has reached a two-year low, according to the survey.
Most of us do a rough job satisfaction calculation every day. We ask ourselves, typically on that long and dreary commute to the office: is our job giving us more than it takes?
If the answer is yes, then we are generally satisfied. But the CIPD survey shows that more are saying no. In fact, one in four UK employees are looking to leave their jobs.
What might be causing this malaise? Why has work become so bad for so many?
One basic driver is money. The way in which wages and salaries have flatlined over the last 20 years is deeply shocking. But things got really bad after the 2008 crisis. Between 2009 and 2014 real wages fell every year, something that hasn't happened since the Victorian era.
We decide whether our pay is fair or not in absolute and relative terms. If our wages are barely covering the basic cost of living – rent, energy, food – then we feel under-rewarded in absolute terms.
But then we compare what we get to others. From this perspective a bitter sense of injustice can grow. For example, even those lucky enough to get a whopping 5% pay increase this year (great in absolute terms) will still feel dissatisfied when they see BP CEO Bob Dudley's sickening £14m pay package. Unless you're one of those Panamanian-based one-percenters, feeling ripped off becomes a basic attitude and that takes its toll on workforce morale.
This is why inequality is bad for everyone, not just the poor.
The CIPD survey also cites bad management as a cause of job dissatisfaction. We have all seen one of these individuals weaving their witchcraft in the office. Workers I have spoken with over the years express amazement not only at the damage one superior can cause over a short period, but that senior management ever thought it a good idea to hire them.
Look what recently happened to New Zealand's leading media firm MediaWorks – a drama that has gripped the nation for the last year. Mark Weldon was as hired as CEO in August 2014, with no background in media. He was a high-flier, charismatic, a mover and a shaker in the banking world.
However, his management style soon began to bite: namely, a mass exodus of talented news readers, producers and writers. Strangely enough, the senior board supported him up to the last moment, even as the human wreckage was plain to see.
An exit sounds lovely but is unrealistic for most. For those unable to quit their jobs there are hundreds of online forums and coaching sites designed to help you cope with a difficult boss, or even an office psychopath. This is no doubt a better option than a growing (and worrying) trend in the US. The National Bureau of Statistics found that one in every 10 managers who die are killed.
The next cause of job dissatisfaction picked up in the CIPD survey is lack of training and development. For many workers there is no way to get gain better skills, get ahead or promoted. UK businesses are notorious for under-investment in capital and staff training. For large multinational firms, this is because they adhere to a "stretch and extract" business model, otherwise known as asset sweating. Just look at our national rail services, for example.
The deep flaw with shareholder capitalism as it is religiously practised in the UK is that long-term investment is counted as a "loss" on the quarterly report for some offshore investor looking for quick returns. It encourages a short-term squeeze of employees, equipment and customers, and the government ( ie taxpayer) is usually left with the bill for investment.
This is one of the major reasons the UK economy is suffering a dire skills deficit and ultra-low productivity levels compared with other EU counties. Workers are not able to better themselves on the job. Human beings thrive on mastery and self-development. But if most of our day is spent somewhere that explicitly forbids that, then of course we will be unhappy, stuck in a rut.
The situation is exacerbated in the new workplaces that celebrate flat hierarchies, no job titles and informal structures, like Zappos. According to the CIPD, instead of motivating workers, these environments can actually enhance a sense of disempowerment because there are no formal channels for promotion. And favouritism will inevitable flourish in such informal work conditions.
But I think the problem goes deeper. We are constantly reminded that we live in a vibrant democracy. As rational adults we have control over our destinies. But none of this seems to apply to the 92,120 hours we spend in paid employment over a lifetime. That disconnect between democratic self-determination and the realities of work appears to be widening.
One only wonders whether a refreshing democratic spring breeze might someday blow into the offices and firms of the UK, transforming work into something worthwhile again.
