Volume 1
Chapter 7.3[Last Discussion: Part 3]
"So, Prez, it looks like you are really curious about how we met . "
I turned and glanced toward the president . For some reason, she sat in her seat, with her back rigid and with a nervous look .
"My meeting with Prez was in the school corridors . "
"The corridors? You don't mean we just passed by each other, do you?"
"That's not it . We even had a proper conversation . "
"Eeh? …… I can't remember a thing . "
"I thought so . Because Prez, at that time, you couldn't see my face . "
"…? We met in the corridor, even had a conversation, yet I couldn't see your face?"
The president tilted her head . When I looked, the other members who didn't know about the meeting between the president and me leaned in to listen to my story with great interest……Yeah, looks like the atmosphere went back to normal . That's a good sign .
I took a sip of tea and began to explain in detail from the beginning .
"In the first place, at that time, you see the circumstances during middle school had happened, and I had lost my temper a bit…… though I say that, it's not like I had done anything violent . I exuded a lone wolf aura, or maybe a 'don't come near me,' aura . "
"Thinking back about the previous topic… that didn't really tell me anything, did it?"
"Asuka left for her hometown, my sister was restricted from seeing any visitors, and I too was pretty much in breakdown . (1) When I had lost both things precious to me at once, I, as a human, quickly fell into despair .
"So, I was living a completely ruined life, but…… at that time, that's when I met you . That's right……"
"Oh, so my appearance!"
"The book monster . "
"You, Prez . Because this is the story of how you and I met . "
"I'm not a 'book monster'!"
The president denied it with all her might . However…… she definitely was the book monster .
I continued .
"To be specific, I met a tiny senpai holding a lot of books that hid her upper half . After school, at the end of the corridor, something like that walked over . Of course, I was startled and thought it was a book monster . "
"Ooh…… now that you mention it, last year, it seemed like I often had to do those sorts of odd jobs as the vice president……"
"So, even though I had completely lost interest in people and had gone rogue, even I couldn't overlook this . I involuntarily called out, 'A, are you alright?' and that's how we met . "
"Th, that's how it happened…… huh? But, in that case, why can't I remember it?"
"In the end, even though I helped out and took half the books, since Prez was really small and due to her stack of books, it seemed like she couldn't see my face at all . Also, after we finished carrying the books, I left immediately . In the end, you didn't get to see my face . "
She seemed to be hurt at my pointing out that she was small . The president moaned and held her chest .
I leaned back in my chair, and with a sigh of exasperation, I looked back on those days .
"At any rate Prez, if you were in the middle of carrying materials from the third floor library to the student council room on the same floor, why were you wandering around the first floor?"
"Normally your stride is so small . And due to being careful where you walked, you only managed to get to the stairs, and that took you ten minutes . "
"Because of that, when I saw you and couldn't help but call out, 'Should I carry it all for you?' you said something stubborn like, 'D, don't underestimate the vice president!' Thanks to that, a ton of my own time was also wasted . "
"When we climbed the stairs, my arms and legs were all shaky and hurt . "
"Ah, last year I……"
The president dejectedly hung her head…… That's not it Prez . The Prez now hasn't evolved much from that time .
Since teasing her any more would be pitiful, I continued the story .
"So then, unexpectedly, I ended up accompanying her for a long time . Even though I was upset, I unintentionally loosened up and ended up telling Prez various things . I wasn't too casual though, just grumbled some things like…… how I two-timed and hurt two girls, and what I should do . And then Prez……"
"What's wrong?"
The president tilted her head…… Like I thought, she didn't remember . Haah…
"Prez, you said this: 'Go play love simulation games! You don't act enough like a protagonist!'"
Not just the president, but everyone in the student council looked utterly shocked . (2)
The president hastily objected with, "Th, there's no way I'd say that!" but it didn't matter because it was the truth .
"Prez, it seemed like right at that time, you played a love simulation game, and afterwards was deeply moved by it . It was recommended to you by a friend, who said he pathetically cried when he played it, but……"
"Ah . "
It seemed that finally rang a bell…… but well, that's since this person gets caught up in the flow… . . After that, more obsessions came and she probably just forgot .
"Of course, I was hooked . Back then, I wasn't interested in that type of game at all, so I didn't think I would hear those words from someone like Prez . "
"But, Prez had said it very seriously . She said, 'Ah, look at the game's protagonist! Even though he's popular, in the end, didn't he make everyone happy? You should use it as a reference! That much should be enough!'"
"L, last year I……"
The president grew more and more depressed…… I felt bad about it, but I followed it up anyway .
"That wild idea unexpectedly stuck deeply in my mind . From then on I've immersed myself into galge and eroge . " (3)
"It was my fault the whole time!"
The president was unbearably shocked to learn that she was the reason for my current character . She looked down, as if the world had ended . Chizuru-san and the Shiina sisters also gave awkward, sarcastic laughs .
In that situation, I also laughed sarcastically…… But I decided I would tie everything together with a single sentence .
"But…… but due to that, I was saved . Thank you so much, Prez . "
"In those days, I really didn't do anything . But…… Prez gave me guidance . "
"…… It was galge though . "
It seems like the president became depressed again . I smiled bitterly .
"You did say that, but the me from back then was shaken up pretty well . The…… development of a harem especially was a culture shock . I thought, 'Ah, this sort of thing happens too . ' I thought, 'It's absurd, but a future where everyone is smiling can actually exist . '"
"In particular, for one reason or another, the galge's protagonists had a lot of situations that were similar to my own . There was a step-sister and a childhood friend . It became a love triangle . Things got slightly troublesome . "
"However…… it was frustrating . But with the protagonists, eight or nine times out of ten they would just grasp happiness in the end . Really…… how many times did I cry? 'Ah, why couldn't I be like that?' I thought . 'Why can't I…… properly make those two happy? I'm so pathetic,' I thought . That's why I made my decision . I…… would become a protagonist . I would join the ranks of those who could make many girls happy with a composed face . "
I instinctively clenched my fist . However…… I saw everyone staring me down, and went back to my usual self with a laugh .
"I'm not the me from a year ago anymore . I met Prez in the spring and got a chance . I was given life by Minatsu in the summer, I was healed by Chizuru-san in autumn, and I was encouraged by Mafuyu in the winter . (4) I put all my effort to my job, studies, and galge . I continued to improve myself that way for a year…… I wasn't the old me anymore . When I came to this student council, I was able to say it with confidence . "
I took a brief pause . Once again, I told them those words .
"I love you all . I love you all very much . All of you, go out with me . Because I will absolutely make you happy . "
I looked around at everyone's faces .
The president crossed her arms and said, "Good grief," with a soft smile .
Chizuru-san seemed to wholeheartedly enjoy it as she mischievously laughed and narrowed her eyes .
Minatsu laughed sarcastically and said, "Even though I feel like your idea of an ideal guy is totally off . "
Mafayu said, "In a way, senpai is really sincere…… maybe?" with a laugh .
Seeing how everyone was, I was convinced again .
Ah, I really do love this student council .
Since it sounds weaker to say it aloud, I whispered in my heart .
(To me, everyone is also…… already as precious to me as my family . )
…… I wonder why today felt strangely embarrassing .
(1) The word used was "kekkou," which can be really hard to translate . Generally it means something like "satisfactory," "pretty good," or "sufficient . " In this case, Sugisaki says something along the lines of he's in a state of "I've had enough . "
(2) Sugisaki used a very different phrase . He said "Everyone's eyes became dots . " In short, everyone probably had had this kind of face -> . _ .
(3) Galge is short for "Gal games," also known as Bishoujo games (pretty girl games) . Eroge is short for "erotic game . " The content of each should be pretty clear .
(4) Each of the girls' names happens to relate to the season they met Sugisaki . Sakurano Kurimu has the kanji for "sakura" (cherry blossoms) which bloom in the spring . Minatsu has the kanji for "natsu" (summer) . Akaba Chizuru has the kanji for "akaba" (red leaves) that fall in autumn . Mafuyu has the kanji for "fuyu" (winter) .

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars, Genre: Historical Fiction, Pages: 384, Reading Level: Easy
Book Description:
"Some said she was an elegant seductress. Others swore she was an incestuous murderess. It didn't matter what they called her. She was the most dangerous and sought-after woman in all of Rome. She was Lucrezia Borgia.
Born into Rome's notorious Borgia family, young Lucrezia led a life colored by violence and betrayal. Now, married for the second time at just eighteen, she hopes for happiness with her handsome husband, Alfonso. But faced with brutal murder, she's soon torn between her love for her husband and her devotion to her brother Cesare… And in the days when the Borgias ruled Italy, no one was safe from the long arm of their power. Even Lucrezia.
In this compelling story of a beautiful woman caught up in a tortuous web of fear and love, Jean Plaidy sheds light on the much maligned Lucrezia and vividly brings her to life."
Light on Lucrezia continues the story of Lucrezia Borgia from the first in the series, Madonna of the Seven Hills by Jean Plaidy. Dubbed 'the original crime family,' the Borgias were quite the interesting family and the myths that follow them are certainly intriguing.
Jean Plaidy is a phenomenal writer and her story is captivating. I was surprised that she portrayed Lucrezia as the innocent pawn since that seems to be a rare occurrence. While unexpected, it was not an unwelcome point of view. And I will not comment on the notorious relationship between brother and sister; I'll let you discover how Plaidy handles that for yourself.
In addition, even though Cesare is portrayed as a vicious monster, I actually found myself feeling for him when he was down. What a testament to Plaidy's writing skills. Or maybe it's just me.
Anyway, I recommend this series to those who enjoy historical fiction. It is a fairly quick read, the writing is superb and the Borgias definitely make for good drama.

Is there a way to cross-reference sibling glossary entries?
For example, we have 2 related terms in our documentation, and they mean quite different things, but are still related. I would like to have something like "See [url]event[/url]" after the definition, and have it link to the Event entry, and vice versa. I was looking into something like <MadCap:variable name="variablesetname.variablename" /> from the Single Source training, but not sure what the code would be to try this.
Or maybe MadCap can take this as another suggestion for future releases.

Most likely many have seen, and might even have, a 100 litas banknote issued in 1928. It features the buildings of the Bank of Lithuania in Kaunas, the construction of which had just been completed, while on the front of the banknote — a woman in national costume, holding a cornucopia. This woman is an allegory of Lithuania as a modern country, with growing industry and developed agriculture.
It is interesting that this woman is not the fruit of the fantasy of the artist Adomas Galdikas, but a real person!
She is Elena Turauskienė — wife of Edvardas Turauskas, a Lithuanian diplomat, public figure, press employee. She posed for the artist Adomas Galdikas in 1927. Elena Turauskienė was born on 15 March 1906 in Paris; she was the elder daughter of Jurgis and Elena (Jurgelionytė) Jankauskas. Elena met Edvardas when he arrived in Paris to study law at the Sorbonne. They got engaged, Edvardas returned to Lithuania and organised their wedding ceremony, while Elena alone returned to Telšiai, where her family was waiting for her. The couple got married on 8 August 1926.
Edvardas Jankauskas worked as a senior editor with the Rytas daily newspaper, director of ELTA, was an Envoy Extraordinary and Diplomatic Agent to Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Romania, and resided in Prague. During the war the couple retreated to the West.
This romantic story about her aunt was told and family pictures were kindly shared by Karolina Masiulytė-Paliulienė — a Paris-born actress, granddaughter of the book smuggler Juozas Masiulis. Elena Turauskienė was her mother's sister. Currently Karolina and Arūnas Paliulis live in Vilnius.

Walnut Trees
Walnut trees produce a well known nut which is eaten fresh, (not too many at a time, as they are very rich), they keep flavour well when cooked and are used in ice-cream, cakes, breads, and sweets – maybe the most famous of which is the Greek Baklava. Walnut trees provide an essential ingredient in the very fine Waldorf salad.

Howard walnutHoward walnut (grafted) with large smooth nuts, howard contains excellent kernal quality great for backyards with the tree only growing small to medium size
Tulare walnut
Out of stockOffered as a grafted tree, the Tulare walnut is a nearly round nut with very high quality kernels. Harvested mid-season, the Tulare walnut variety requires no pollenizer due to a good coincidence of pistillate bloom and pollen shedding. The upright, moderately vigorous Tulare tree presents high production potential especially in hedgerow and other high-density planting systems
Franquette walnut
Out of stockAnother grafted tree, the Franquette walnut is also very popular for backyard growing, not making quite as large a tree as standard varieties, but larger than Chandler, good quality nut with sweet flavour
Cisco walnut
Out of stockThe Cisco walnut is a grafted walnut tree, Nut and kernel similar to Franquette trees, Cisco is an extremely late leafing, laterally fruitful walnut. In growth habit, the tree is semi-upright and relatively small. The Cisco nut and kernel are similar to Franquette, but slightly larger. Handy pollenizer for Chandler and Howard
Chandler walnutThe Chandler walnut is a grafted walnut tree, new cultivar from the univeristy of California, smaller, semi dwarfed tree capable of bearing heavy crops as it is a lateral bearer, kernels of excellent sweet quality, trees remains compact so is more suitable for home garden situations, we had nuts in year three on one of our young grafted trees - significantly earlier than any other variety we have seen - often other varieties can take 6-8 years
English Seedling walnut (juglans regia)
Out of stockThe English Seedling walnut (juglans regia) usually sports a large nut, with medium sized kernel, same culinary uses as mentioned above. One fellow told me this year of an English Seedling walnut that he planted, with plenty of space around it, which has now reached its full bearing potential, and last season he collected a whopping 200 kilograms (!!!) of walnuts off the one tree. (Also, not sure about the science of it, but anecdotal evidence suggests that cows like to give birth under walnut trees)
Black walnut
Out of stockThe Black walnut is a native American nut, widely grown for the high quality of its hardwood for craftsmen, makes a prized specimen timber -the wood is used to make flooring, furniture and rifle stocks, but also carries a very highly flavoured nut. Oil is pressed from the seeds, they are so rich that usually only a few are eaten at a time. The Black walnut are harder to shell than other varieties -maybe a help in thwarting the birds!

survivor (Post #1) Hello, It Happened 29 Yrs Ago
MeTooo posted a topic in Public: Welcome!Hello, I am new to this group. This is my first post. I was raped 29 years ago at the age of 18. I delt with it by blaming myself for getting drunk. (Now, I know that's not true, he is the one who took from me what I did not give. He is to blame.) I never reported it, never told my parents. For reasons I can't explain, it's coming up and out now. I am feeling the pain, fear, and panic of my 18 year old self, NOW. The nice people at rape call centers didn't know what to do to help me. I am having trouble finding people like me. Who understand how and why I was able to keep all these painful feelings hidden away for so long, because they did the same thing. I'm sure there are other people like me. I hope to get help here. The help that comes from listening to other people's experiences and stories. The help that comes from hearing how someone was able to move out of the darkness into the light. I don't know how to change myself from victim to survivor. Thank you for reading this. one more thing. I am old, and I am having trouble navigating this site. If anyone has suggestions of where to look, how to look, and what to look for, I'd appreciate it. I don't even know if I am posting this in the right place...
This Week, My Father The Enabler, My Brother The Monster
AWolf74075 posted a blog entry in AWolf74075's BlogThis week was a bad, the worst one I have had since the memories started to return. I survived it with few new scars, but only because AS was here, I made a post about my father and his blog, and what he published about me. A full page of fictional material created to sublimate my life into something more comfortable for him I guess. Either way, it hurt more that he refused to validate my existence, my story, my trauma, and turned it into something that vilified me and made HIM the victim. I had such an outpouring of love and support from my brothers and sisters here on AS that I was able to turn the blow to my already wounded psyche, and today I am in such a better and stronger place for it. Hugs to everyone on the house! ((((((AS))))) Friday I had my first discernable panic attack. We were on the freeway, luckily I wasn't the one driving when it happened. It was raining a little bit, nothing out of the ordinary for Washington, and traffic was a little thick but not too bad. Out of no where I became convinced we were about to crash into another vehicle. We weren't even close to the other cars on the road, but that didn't seem to make a difference. We were going to hit them, and I couldn't breath right. I started to sweat, and my heart started to pound, and my mind went fuzzy, and my vision started to blur around the edges. For the rest of the afternoon, when we were in the car I was absolutely certain we were going to crash into something, another car, an overpass post, a curb, a tree it didn't matter, if I could see it, we were going to smash into it. The feeling lasted long after I had gotten home, ready for work, and had in fact driven myself to work... sweaty palmed and hyper alert. It was the most concrete evidence I have to date that I am ultimately vulnerable to these memories of "ancient" history, at least emotionally. Like I said, a very bad week. But after my wife came to me, woke me up, angry and upset having just read an entry on my fathers public blog condemning me as a sl*t and a w**re, and a manipulator, and a monster, I woke up feeling ashamed, angry, weak, pathetic, loathsome, and dirty. As soon as my wife left for work, I went into the kitchen and picked up a bottle of rum. I looked at it for a very long minute... then put it back in the fridge. I am not that person any more, I will never conquer my demons if I am not 100% in control of myself. I would rather be a slave to my demons, I didn't create them. Acknowledging what happened to me, and joining the After Silence site, has by far been the hardest and most rewarding thing that I have done in recent history, and I hope that I can contribute as much to the others here as they have already contributed to me. Thank you for validating my existence as a viable human being, giving me strength, understanding, and hope. God Bless us, every one.

The subject of this Essay is not the so-called Liberty of the Will, so unfortunately opposed to the misnamed doctrine of Philosophical Necessity; but Civil, or Social Liberty: the nature and limits of the power which can be legitimately exercised by society over the individual. A question seldom stated, and hardly ever discussed, in general terms, but which profoundly influences the practical controversies of the age by its latent presence, and is likely soon to make itself recognised as the vital question of the future. It is so far from being new, that, in a certain sense, it has divided mankind, almost from the remotest ages; but in the stage of progress into which the more civilized portions of the species have now entered, it presents itself under new conditions, and requires a different and more fundamental treatment.

As we embark upon a new year, many families across the globe will be discussing the opportunity of an overseas assignment and as we know, many will decide to decline the opportunity. The question posed by this Harvard Business Review article is how this decision will be received by your organisations leadership?
Is refusal seen as a weakness, strength or with indifference? As you start 2018, challenge yourself to determine if you can better support your own talent management team with pre-assignment tools and candidate assistance.
Check out some of our resources that could help you plan a successful assignment.
Turning down an international posting can have negative consequences, especially early in one's career, when family considerations are assumed to be less of an issue. Many companies expect their aspiring leaders to work abroad. It's how their executives develop the skills to lead across cultures and learn the inner workings of a global business; it's how rising leaders advance into the senior ranks. Those who decline may be perceived to lack ambition and drive, and they may pay a price for that. While we are just beginning to collect hard data on career outcomes, research shows that employees often feel pressured into saying yes. They worry that refusing to be sent overseas will prevent them from getting ahead, or at least slow their careers considerably.

Frank cracks a new whip at the Moat
Story courtesy of Burton Mail
Gresley Rovers boss Frank Northwood is cracking the whip in an effort to bring success to the Moat Ground.By the standards of most clubs, last season when Gresley finished fourth in the Banks's League, reached the League Cup final and enjoyed their beat-ever run in the FA Vase, was by no means a failure.
But it did not live up to Northwood's expectations and his response has been to adopt a much tougher outlook.
Northwood explains: "I'm placing a lot more emphasis on discipline this season both on and off the field. This game is much to do with the right attitude as it is with ability and I want my boys to show pride in playing for Gresley Rovers.
"For instance everyone is expecting to report for games smartly dressed and wearing a club sweater. Anyone who breaks that rule will be fined Ł5."
Northwood's harsher regime has certainly paid dividends in the opening week of the campaign with two wins and eight goals to their credit.
The 4-0 demolition of Tividale was impressive enough, but it was the 4-1 success at Hinckley on Tuesday night that set the pulses racing at the Moat Ground.
After conceding an early goal, Rovers seemed to be heading for their annual capitulation at Middlefield Road but, pleasingly for Northwood, they showed real character and resolve in the face of provocative tactics from the home side.
Gresley kept their cool while Hinckley pressed the self-destruct button by involving themselves in a whole host of heated exchanges, many with the referee.
Northwood's assistant Glenn West described Rovers' display as "the most determined I've seen from a Gresley side."
He said: "We played with real character and fire and if we can keep playing with that sort of attitude we've got nothing to fear."

Harris Interactive
Seven in ten Americans say women often do not receive the same pay as men for doing exactly the same job
New York, N.Y. - August 16, 2010 - In 1920, 144 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, women in the United States achieved the right to vote. Ninety years later gender equality is still discussed and debated. When it comes to whether things are fine between men and women, the nation is split - just over half of Americans (52%) disagree that things are fine between the genders while 43% say things are fine. But men and women have a different take on the situation with over half of men (55%) believing things are fine compared to just one-third (32%) of women who say the same.
Even more Americans (63%) agree that the U.S. still has a long way to go to reach complete gender quality. While three-quarters of women (74%) agree with this, so do just over half of men (52%).
These are some of the results of The Harris Poll of 2,227 adults surveyed online between June 14 and 21, 2010 by Harris Interactive.
Whether the issue of gender equality should be addressed is another question in these times with so many other pressing issues. Three-quarters of U.S. adults (74%) agree that they do not think gender equality is perfect, but there are more pressing issues to fix first. And men and women are in agreement on this (74% of men agree as do 75% of women).
Women and Work
One of the discrepancies the Equal Rights Amendment was hoping to correct was inequality in the workplace among men and women. But seven in ten Americans (69%) say that women often do not receive the same pay as men for doing exactly the same job. Three in five U.S. adults (62%) agree that women are often discriminated against in being promoted for supervisory and executive jobs. Women are much more likely than men to agree with this but almost half of men also agree with both sentiments. Four in five women (80%) agree that women often do not receive the same pay for the same job compared to 58% of men, and 75% of women agree women are discriminated against in their promotions compared to 48% of men.
Half of Americans (50%) say women often receive lower pensions or pay more on annuities than men doing the same work while 23% disagree with this and 27% are not at all sure. And it's not just with pay that there are issues. More Americans believe women often have much more trouble than men in getting credit, bank loans and mortgages (42% agree with this while 36% disagree) and that women are often discriminated in the insurance rates they pay (38% agree; 33% disagree).
But it isn't all bad. Over half of Americans (52%) say most employers are willing make the conditions of work flexible enough to help women with families who want to go to work. Again, there is a gender difference here as three in five men (60%) agree with this compared to less than half of women (46%).
So What?
In ninety years many things have changed for women in this country. And some may argue things are better, but there is still the undercurrent that there are issues, especially when it comes to pay and employment, where things have not yet approached an equal footing with men. Women are sitting in more boardrooms and at the helms of more companies today, but there is a sense they are not yet getting paid the same as men in those positions. There is also a sense that something else may have been lost. Four in five Americans (81%) and four in five men and women (81% for both) say women today are treated with less chivalry than in the past. Can women have both equal pay and chivalry? Or can it be only or the other?

Some believe that the use of some types of drugs enhances sexual ability and fuels the intimacy between the two parties, and this is true according to a study conducted by a number of researchers at Concordia University in Canada in 2010, but this study confirmed that this effect is very short-term, and the user becomes infected for any kind of Drugs with sexual problems, including erectile dysfunction, difficulties and premature ejaculation in men, vaginal dryness and reluctance to have sex in women.

Plant-based drugs (e.g. hashish and bango) cause erectile dysfunction over time.
Heroin and cocaine cause a marked weakness in the degree of euphoria at the end of the sexual process.
Cocaine and speed abuse has a negative impact on sexual pleasure as well as on the desire for sex.
The sexual performance of those who use or have been using drugs has been markedly weaker than those who have never used them.

MY WIFE HAS a problem finding decent music for her dance class at Northridge High School.
It's not that there's not some great music out there. In fact, we may not have had this much good dance music out since the Bee Gees were big.
The problem isn't the beats. The problem is finding anything that's decent. Decent as in something that won't make the Church Lady think we all love music produced by Satan.
Kate loves Usher's "Yeah," and it is hypnotic, but a rap by Ludacris in its middle is barely PG-13. D12's "My Band" is cute and funny, unless, of course, you hear what the groupies in the song want to do to Enimem. Popular songs by Twista, Petey Pablo and Outkast all feature naughty language or explicit, rather rude descriptions of sex.
This seems to be most prevalent in hip-hop, where an Explicit Lyrics sticker is a badge of honor. The only problem with that is hip-hop also continues to be the hottest form of pop music out there. It's what the kiddies are listening to the most.
There's a good reason for that and a bad reason. The good reason is hip-hop continues to be the most groundbreaking, innovative music out there right now. It's rare these days when something truly original and exciting comes from rock's playground.
Recommended Stories For You
Yet Outkast's double album was packed with some of the greatest music I've heard in years. Beyonce's music is almost as beautiful as she is. And past albums by the Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, Dr. Dre, Run-DMC and Snoop Dogg did for today's current scene what Led Zeppelin did for pop music back in the '70s.
However, the bad reason for hip-hop's popularity, I believe, comes from the fact that it is shocking. Or, at least, it tries to be shocking by firing off a bunch of f-bombs. In other words, it upsets adults.
Hey, that's always been part of pop music's appeal, right?
Except, these days, the filthy language is just too common in our favorite songs. Now it's unusual when a popular hip-hop song doesn't push it. And I'm a little tired of it.
I'm simply worried about the future of hip-hop.
I'm beginning to wonder if hip-hop is in a rut. The beats are still there, but the lyrics are all about sex, all the time, most of it graphic and crude. They're hardly the socially conscious poems that Public Enemy and other hip-hop artists of the 1980s and '90s pushed.
No, it's not just because I'm getting older. I'm a huge fan of "The Sopranos," and that show would make Mickey Mouse cry.
Maybe the hip-hop artists will start to listen to Marvin Gaye, one of the greatest artists of the last 50 years.
Maybe they'll listen to "Let's Get It On," one of the steamiest, love quakers ever recorded, and it will hit them that not once does Gaye curse, or even talk about sex the way these young guys do.
It's what isn't spelled out that makes the song erotic. Gaye treats his women with respect. That's kind of nice.
Marvin kept it behind closed doors and left the rest to our imaginations. Now THAT'S getting it on.

SRQ Magazine | November 2019
By Phil Lederer
In Visual Arts
Cloistered away in her home studio in Lakewood Ranch, with paint-speckled wooden floors and natural light from the big squarish window overlooking the lush greens of the neighboring Robinson Preserve, Victoria Gomez Mayol revels in a newfound freedom. From the family home and street galleries of Argentina to the boulevards of Sarasota—complete with a pit stop in Little Rock, AR, and (narrowly avoided) pitfall in New York City—her artist's path has proved a long and winding one, but she's finally arrived exactly where she needs to be, painting what she wants, when she wants. Even the faint traces of pigment padded in from the studio and onto the white carpet of the adjoining living room can't bother her now.
Growing up in Argentina, the daughter of a notary and a calligrapher, Mayol discovered early the push-and-pull tension between needing to create and simply needing to eat. The family was creative—her sister sang, her brother wrote—but economics superseded arts and her father's brush made local signage, not portraits. And while her sister still sings, her brother swapped pens and now makes a living as a notary, like his mother. Mayol didn't paint until she was 14 years old, when she visited her aunt in the Argentinian countryside, stumbling across a room full of oil paints and not emerging until the sun had set and her first painting was complete.
Painting lessons with her mother followed, with the older Mayol taking the younger to an after-school class for adults, exposing the self-taught sketcher to advanced techniques and the world of art beyond pure representation, where life experience and expression enter the mix and recreation becomes art. "It's building an image from ideas," says Mayol. "That's the difference." What followed was a period of artistic freedom and unfettered creation for the young artist, inspired by friends, family and coming of age amidst the vivid world of the famous Argentinian wilds of the Misiones province. Without an agent or a gallery, she found success in street festivals and freewheeling happenstance. But greater rewards beckoned, and she packed up for the US, landing in Little Rock.
At first, the Land of Opportunity seemed as advertised. Mayol quickly found representation in two galleries in Little Rock and, with a bit of travel and entrepreneurial spirit, caught the eye of New York City's Praxis Gallery, a gallery started by a fellow Argentine and dedicated to celebrating Latin American artists. But auspicious beginnings belied a coming drought and a trap about to be sprung—her work failed to resonate with the Arkansan milieu and Praxis began to look more like a gilded cage, offering little in the way of exhibition yet demanding sole rights to show Mayol's work anywhere in the country. Mayol and her young family fled to Sarasota. Again, she found representation quickly in a local gallery; again, the experience proved stifling. At an artistic low, Mayol was no longer exploring and expressing herself, so much as cranking out canvases that satisfied market demands.
"I was not painting," she says. "I needed a change." And this time the change wouldn't be geographical. Cutting the ties that bind, she left the gallery and reentered her studio, taking a year to replenish and reengage with the artist she discovered all those years ago in Argentina. With no pressure to sell, to satisfy any audience—or even to produce—it would be a year of self-creation. The work would follow. "This is art, not product," Mayol says. "I needed to go deep and do something real." Easier said than done.
Alone in her studio, without the clutter and clatter of commissions and gallery demands forcing her mind and hand this way and that, rushing from one project to the next like an automaton approximating artistic expression, Mayol faced the vast stillness of the soul, digging deep to the painful bedrock of an artist adrift. She missed her home in Argentina. She missed her family there, the people who laughed the way she knew
how to laugh. She uncovered dark holes with deep-buried hurts and memories. "And the melancholy started," she says. But this time she didn't turn away.
"I was so lost at first," she says, not knowing who the real Mayol was. The one who painted solely from nature, as she had for years? Or the one who specialized in figures and scenes, as she had also embraced? The painter who embraced the vivid noise of a busy canvas, or the daughter of a calligrapher who learned the power of silence while studying Eastern art? She stopped painting Florida birds and beach scenes, letting images of her childhood flow through her and onto any of the many canvases arranged around her cramped studio. The Hill of Seven Colors in Northern Argentina. The great ombu trees spreading their umbrellalike canopy over the Misiones jungle. Her brother, reclining under those broad leaves and reading a book as colorful toucans roost overhead. Mayol is all these things. Expressionism and control. Light and dark. Silence and the great whooping cheer that rallies life to its sound.
Stepping into her studio today, Mayol turns on some jazz, some tango or música folklórica from the rural villages of Argentina—anything to help her out of her rational brain and into something more instinctive and intuitive. She paints without expectation, without demands external or internal. She doesn't know if it will be her best work, she says, "but I'm allowing myself to do it." The answer will come with time. "Painting is about questions, not answers," she says. "Put them on the canvas and people will find different answers."

Ginting defeated Denmark's Anders Antonsen 17-21, 21-15, 21-9 in the final clash. Despite losing the first game Ginting had the momentum in the match and outclassed his world number three opponent in 71 minutes.
Earlier, Thailand's Ratchanok Intanon lifted the Indonesia Masters 2020 women's singles title after defeating Carolina Marin in the summit clash.
Intanon defeated Marin 21-19, 11-21, 21-18 in a one-hour-twenty-minute long match. The clash went into three-games and both the shuttlers tried their 100 per cent to turn things in their favour.
Despite losing the first game, the Spanish shuttler made a comeback in the second game and claimed the game by 21-11. Intanon won the match by claiming the third game by 21-18.
On the other hand, Indian shuttlers crashed out of the tournament after losing their first-round matches. World Champion PV Sindhu was the only shuttler who proceeded to the second round of the tournament but failed to advance from there. (ANI)

Is this sighting of UN forces videotaped by an American in Northern Pennsylvania a sign that Barack Obama and his gun control agenda are preparing to disarm the American People?
All News Pipeline Reports:
"Criminals Prefer Unarmed Victims and Dictators Prefer Unarmed Citizens"
With Barack Obama and some in Washington DC and across America continually pushing 'gun control' in our faces despite the fact that Americans may soon need all the help we can get against all of the ISIS terrorists that he's allowing into the country, we see in the 1st video below a sign that all may not be as it appears to be in America as a UN Multinational Force Observer is observed and videotaped by a wide awake American in northeastern Pennsylvania.
As YouTube videographer Professor Doom1 shows us in the 2nd video below, the fact that this UN observer was recently seen in Pennsylvania should send out a very special alert to anyone at all paying attention to what is going on in our country: Why is a United Nations Multinational Force Observer in America? What 'multinational force' is here on US soil at this time that the American people don't know about that the UN needs to observe? Does this UN sighting hold special significance?
As Doom explains quite clearly, there is great significance to this and if recent UN job postings for America are any indication of where this is going, this may be more proof we're heading in a direction that nobody except tyrants and psychopathic, mass-murdering global government criminals want to go. Is this another sign they've brought in a 'multinational force' to disarm the American people? Remember, disarmament leads to genocide and possibly BILLIONS dead! Before you say that could never happen here, we need to go back in time and take a little look at recent history:
Back in June of 2014, Mac Slavo at SHTFPlan put out a story in which he told us about the United Nations plan to hire 'US-based Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration Specialists'. You can actually check out the UN's job offering here if you're interested. You can also check out this document describing the role of the UN 'disarmament, demobilization and reintegration specialists'. Let's check out what Mac had to say about this back in 2014.:
It's no secret that the United Nations, with assistance from members of the Executive and Legislative branches in the United States, has been actively working to reduce Americans' accessibility to firearms. In 2012 President Obama, along with then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, spearheaded a backdoor move that would have imposed gun control on the United States through foreign means by signing a global disarmament initiative known as the Small Arms Treaty. Though that attempt failed, mass shooting incidents at Sandy Hook and elsewhere have kept the pressure on gun owners with the President having made repeated suggestions that he would mandate gun restrictions through Executive Order should state and federal legislatures fail to act.
Given the rocky history between America's gun owners and the United Nations, chances are that the push for disarmament will continue with more ferver than ever before. In fact, a recent job posting at the United Nations website suggests that the organization is not only working to get guns out of the hands of American citizens, they are actively preparing personnel to assist in what they call "disarmament, demobilization and reintegration" activities. And if that's not bad enough, the duty station for this key U.N. Peacekeeping Operations department is New York city, suggesting that the organization believes such operations may be commencing in the United States at some point in the future.
We also know that recently, there has been a drive in America towards a global police force set up by Obama and the UN to fight extremism in the US. As Susan Duclos told us back in April, the Obama administration has also made a point of attempting to 'redefine the enemy', pushing acceptance of Islam (which is a tyrannical political system, NOT a religion!) while labeling Christians, supporters of the 2nd Amendment and US Constitution and US Veterans as 'extremists'.
Have we now reached that point in the time in the future that Mac Slavo warned about? Even more important, is Barack Obama preparing to disarm Americans so that the Islamic State can take over the country on their push to take over the world? More and more evidence is emerging daily that Mr. Obama is supportive of an Islamic State. Is that what the UN is now pushing for as well in preparing to disarm the American people?
We also know that Hillary Clinton recently said if Americans arm themselves, it helps ISIS. Is this PROOF Hillary wants MILLIONS OF AMERICANS DEAD by pushing for us to disarm so that ISIS can just come in for the slaughter? As Donald Trump recently correctly stated, Hillary is ALREADY responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, due to her DISASTROUS foreign policy decisions. If #HITLERY wants Americans disarmed, we strongly advise her to disarm herself 1st to send the 'right message' to the American people. That obviously goes for Mr. Obama as well. Do you think either will give up their hired guns? Of course not!
REMEMBER! According to Deagel.com, more than 250 MILLION Americans who are living here now in 2015 will no longer be living in America by 2025 when Deagel forecasts our population to be at 65 million. How do we get from 319 million now to 65 million in less than 10 years?
If Clinton, Obama and the United Nations are successful in disarming the American people, we expect that would enable them to accomplish their goals of depopulating the country as disarming the American people would allow ISIS to swoop into the country and kill hundreds of millions of innocent Americans with no way to defend ourselves against the terrorists. Also, as has clearly been pointed out previously, the process alone of attempting to disarm the American people, hundreds of millions of law-abiding gun owners, would likely lead to the deaths of millions as well. A Texas police chief recently warned Obama that attempting to disarm Americans would lead to revolution as heard in the final video below.
As pointed out in the 2nd video, back in February of 2014, Off Grid Survival told us about a fake US city that was built for 'future combat scenarios'. They asked if the training was for a future martial law scenario and as Doom points out in his video, there are no mosques in this 'fake city,' but there is a church as YouTube videographer justinwoolee also points out in a video called "US Marines, DHS & UN Practicing For Gun Confiscation". You can see that video 3rd video below.
While we are unable to verify that the UN employee seen in the 1st video below is here to watch over the disarmament of the American people, as Professor Doom proves to us in the 2nd video below, there is every reason to believe they may now be preparing to disarm Americans as the globalists continue to push their 'end game,' the death of liberty and America.
For those who would like to try to obtain more information on why this UN Multinational Force Observer may be in the US, and in Pennsyvania particularly, you can reach them at 1-212-963-4475 or 1-212-963-1234. While they have refused to return a phone call from All News Pipeline requesting information as to why this multinational force observer is in America, if enough people pressure them on this, the UN will know they're being watched by the American people.

Have you been hurt because another has been reckless? Are the bills racking up because you're not able to work? If this happened to you, you should pursue an injury case. The following article has some great advice as to how you can win a personal injury lawsuit.
You may have a pre-existing condition; however, you are still eligible to receive compensation for accidents you might have had. Tell your lawyers specifically what injuries you had before the accident and be honest. You don't want him to be blindsided in court.
You should meet with more than one lawyer before you decide which one you want to hire. Take advantage of free consultations to help you choose the right lawyer. This free meeting will allow you to have any questions answered and learn about their fees and policies upfront.
Be certain to keep documentation of your injury with photos prior to filing suit. If your injuries prevent you from taking the photos yourself, have someone take them for you. Don't wait until later. The sooner you get photos taken of the accident the better, because they can be used as evidence.
If you sustain an injury, it's important to keep detailed records. You should include any care instructions or other notes from your physician, receipts for any payments you make and receipts for any prescriptions or medical supplies you purchase. Be sure and save all emails about your injury from your doctor.
Don't be shy about asking questions when you meet with your attorney. This include questions on what to expect, how much time it will take, what may be a surprise, and anything else. You need to be comfortable, and asking questions is a smart way to make you feel better and more informed.
Make sure you get a lawyer who has experience with personal injury cases. There are lots of people who believe all lawyers are the same. It is important to find an attorney who knows that aspect of the law inside and out. No doing your research can really effect the outcome of your personal injury case.
You need bring all pertinent documentation when interviewing different personal injury attorneys. Pertinent paperwork includes medical expenses and how much time you have missed from work. Also, take any photos you have of your accident. These documents can help a lawyer get a better feel for your case immediately.
A lot of people suffer from back pain. Use an item like a warm towel or hot water bottle to ease the pain and allow it to relax. You can worsen the injury by straining it. Medicines such as ibuprofen may also help ease the pain.
Be sure and find out whether the personal injury lawyer you are meeting with has dealt with cases similar to yours before. This will give you a good idea if they suit your case or not. If the lawyer works on cases like yours regularly, you have a much better chance of winning your case.
Now it should be clear that you don't have to just accept your circumstance. If you are harmed and it's someone else's fault, you should take action. Utilize the excellent suggestions provided here in order to receive the settlement you deserve.

99 Slapback
Developed in collaboration with percussionist/drummer Matt Kilmer and influenced by a lap-position playing style taught by Jamey Haddad, the Cooperman 99 Slapback series of drums provides the defined punch of a frame drum embellished with a caxixi-like shaker sound when tapped from the top or when rocked on the thigh. For a dramatic accent, a slap-strike throws the enclosed shot and then ricochets it back to the playing surface; a quieter "ocean" effect can be achieved by simply rolling the shot around the playing surface.
The selection of 12″ vs 16″ depends a lot on the piece being performed but some things to keep in mind are:
- -The 16″ Slapback has a solid tuning range from about D3-A3. It works very well both as a solo lead drum and an accompanying drum. It is single headed with a mesh back to keep the steel shot in and let the drum breathe.
- -The 12″ Slapback has a tuning range from about G3-D4. Additionally, since It is double headed, a center dot can be applied to further focus the pitch of the drum and also lower the pitch. I've been experimenting with various thickness vinyl stickers on the dead-center of the rear (cloth) head and have achieved some really nice results.
- The 12″ Slapback is very well suited to be a solo drum. Almost in the same tonal space as a riq, but with more body to the sound.
The 16″ version was designed as an all-around drum that could be tuned high if you want it to cut more, or tuned lower to get more bass tone. Matt Kilmer usually plays it with a djembe or dumbek in front of him to hit a bass tone as needed. The drum has a solid tuning range from about D3-A3. It has all the punch of an open-back tar drum, but accessorized with shaker beads. The steel shot is captured between the REMO Weatherking playing head and the drum's removable mesh back, which features a splash zone of highly responsive REMO Renaissance material. The mesh back can be removed to change or supplement the media. The drum is tuneable using Cooperman's standard tuning system.
The 12" version shares the same general specification as the 16″ (above) but is design more as a soloist's drum, though it holds it own cutting through in a big mix . A hefty load of steel shot powers-up our 12″ 99 Slapback tar drum with a wide range of possible effects. It has a tuning range from about G3-D4.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has approved a $1 billion deal to convert a stretch of land along New York City's Hudson waterfront into a sprawling development.
MTA spokesman Kevin Ortiz said Thursday that developer Related Cos. will be required to pay $20 million when the contract is signed and another $21.7 million in the next 12 months.
The Wednesday agreement allows Related to delay closing until office vacancy rates drop to 11% and co-op and condo prices hit $1,200 per square feet.
The MTA owns the land known as Hudson Yards for Long Island Rail Road operations.
In December, the City Council approved a rezoning plan for half of the 26-acres for apartments, cultural space and a new public school. The other half was rezoned in 2005. It allows for office, hotel and retail space and public open areas.

Volunteering at Cats Protection centres across England, Scotland and Wales is being supported this year by players of People's Postcode Lottery who have enabled the charity to employ Volunteer Team Leaders who unite, support and nurture volunteers at the centres.
For Volunteers' Week (1-7 June) we asked just some of our volunteers (and Volunteer Team Leaders) what a typical day in their roles is like and what they enjoy most about being part of the UK's biggest community of cat lovers.
Meet some of our Cats Protection heroes
Jess Gibson – Volunteer Team Leader at Tyneside Adoption Centre
|Jess (left) with volunteer Gabrielle and one of the kittens at the centre
"Gabrielle arrives just in time for the morning break. Gabrielle is one of our lovely volunteers who enjoys that extra bit of support from me. We make the teas and coffees ready for the staff and volunteers to sit down and enjoy a cuppa and a cheeky biscuit together and chat about the cats."
Jenny Gill – Cat Care Assistant at Eastbourne Adoption Centre
|Jenny with chatty cat Alfie
John Porter – Cat Care, Driving and Gardening Volunteer at Eastbourne Adoption Centre
|John taking a break from his green-fingered volunteering
"It's important for the garden to look good for outdoor events such as our Summer Fayre (on 7 July – do come along between midday and 3pm). In fact it was a fayre that first got me thinking about volunteering. I'd been retired from my job as a motor mechanic for two years when I came to one of the fayres and they mentioned needing volunteers – that was three years ago and I've never looked back!"
Kathryn Graves – Secretary for Chiltern Branch
|Kathryn (left) with DofE volunteers Abbie and Daisy and Eddie the cat
Adrienne Girvan – Volunteer Kitten Socialiser at Glasgow Adoption Centre
|Adrienne with Ingrid the kitten who she has helped to socialise
Susan Anthony – Paws to Listen Volunteer
|Susan and her 'Personal Assistant' Tabitha the cat
"A typical shift involves calls from, or call backs to, often distraught people who have suffered or are anticipating the loss of a much-loved cat. This can involve a natural death or euthanasia, an accident, the need to rehome or a missing cat. Every call is different and the emotions felt by each caller are individual, but almost all of them express gratitude for the opportunity to discuss their feelings and to be listened to by someone who understands their distress and will never judge. It can sometimes be an emotionally draining role but it is always hugely rewarding knowing that I have helped someone in pain even just a little bit."
Tina – Shop Volunteer for Worcester Branch
|Tina helps sort the stock in the Worchester shop
"I work in many aspects of the running of the shop, from sorting donations, taking cash and card payments on the till to completing displays in window and around the store. If you're thinking about becoming a volunteer or are new to the area, please do pop in to see the manager. You get plenty of tea and coffee while working… always a bonus! And you will make new friends at the same time."

Stellar Lumens [XLM] has finally seen a boost of over 5% due to speculations ahead of Coinbase listing. Unlike other cryptocurrencies, Stellar Lumens [XLM] has been affected by massive volatility in the forever-lasting bear market.
The prices of XLM were going haywire during press time, with the 24-hour change going up to 5% and falling back to normal and further down. XLM is now the fourth most-traded asset on Binance, just after Bitcoin [BTC], Bitcoin Cash [BCH] and Ethereum [ETH].
The price of XLM in a one-day time frame had a very bumpy ride, with its price standing steadily at $0.2691 and a market cap of $5.09 billion on November 11. XLM, on the same day, faced a mild bump and the market cap got a push up to $5.14 billion and the price also rose up to $0.2715.
The price and the market cap remained the same more-or-less for a few more hours before changing further. Later the same day, the price and the market cap both took a hit and went down to $0.2633 and $4.98 billion respectively. The 24-hour trade volume rose up by 25.8% during this time period.
The price corrected itself at this point and moved up $0.2749, and market cap followed the same path and reached $5.2 billion. The prices, after this point, continued on a slow journey with less volatility and reached $0.2840, with market cap tracing a new high at $5.37 billion. The prices have started plunging since this new high.
The market cap of the asset is currently at $5.26 billion and the 24-hour trading volume is at $113.64 million. The supply for the asset comes mostly from Binance's platform, which contributes to a total of 32.6% [approx] with pairs XLM/BTC and XLM/USDT. The next contributor to the asset is Upbit exchange which contributes to 9% [approx] of the total volume.

Trip Recap Continued: Day 5
Posted on August 2, 2007 by Ching under Travel.
This was supposed to be the day we did the resort excursions: snorkelling, glass-bottom boat tour, catamaran cruise. Two out of three isn't bad. Who knew that the waves would make him sea sick? He never had any problems before. =P
Anyway, we started our day with breakfast at the patio. I think this was the day they brought the mangos. I know there was one day I just had mangos and bacon for breakfast. It's a weird combination, I know. I've never had mangos as fresh or delicious as these, though. It was all you can eat mangos to boot. I was in heaven!
Our first activity was the glass-bottom boat tour. Brian didn't really get to enjoy much of the scenery because he started getting sea sick less than five minutes into the tour. No worries though because I took pictures of almost everything so he can always just go back and look at the photos. LOL.
Brian pretty much just ignored me and focused on the horizon. He says this keeps him from being so sick that he has to vomit. I guess it was working because he didn't have to vomit at all. I struck up a conversation with the couple sitting next to us. They're honeymooners from Los Angeles. I asked her why she chose COR and she explained that out of all of the different all-inclusive resorts they looked at COR had the most excursions included in the package. I told her she made a good choice. I found out that this was their first trip to Jamaica also so I told her about the $200 passport credit. I figured someone was nice enough to tell us this so we could share the goodwill. They're actually the second couple we told. We told another young honeymooning couple we went on the Dunns excursion with about it. They used the credit for salon services. She ended up getting her hair braided and he got a haircut, among other things.
Then we were going to do the snorkelling thing at 11:00 AM. They use the same boat, they just put wood planks so that you don't step on the glass bottom. However, Brian wasn't feeling well from the glass-bottom boat tour and wanted time to recover. We went back to our room where he rested of a bit before the 12:30 PM lunch buffet. I didn't have anything to do so I decided to do some exploring. I checked out the hidden jacuzzi tubs, the aviary, the grounds. It's not as fun exploring on your own because everyone you run into is with their partner. I was lonely for mine. Anyway just to tell you how nice all the resort employees are, one of the workers saw me taking pictures of my favorite garden swing and asked me if I wanted my picture taken in it. I was too embarrassed to say yes so I just smiled and said no. I figured I probably looked pathetic being by myself and all. I had flashbacks of Brian being dehydrated during the night of the fancy, dress up buffet night on our cruise five years ago when I ended up sleeping in my dress. I figured I had enough exploring and went to the computer station to upload some pics to Flickr (that's why you saw our Dunns pictures halfway through our trip). It was a good way to kill time, being partner-less and all. Then I went back to the room to fetch Brian for the lunch buffet.
After lunch we just hung out at the beach while waiting for the catamaran cruise. I was surprised Brian still wanted to go considering his sea sickness earlier that day. I guess he didn't end up vomitting so no harm, no foul. Several of the TI folks were in this excursion with us: Vicky and Michael (who we sat next to), Marc and Seija, Darcy and Colin, Kent and Dawn, Bob and Mary.. We joked that no one was going to moon us because we were all on the cat cruise. the islanders did not disappoint, though. Kent even got video footage of it. The cat cruise was fun but quite not as much fun as the cat cruise we did in Cozumel on our honeymoon. That was a half-day excursion, though. It involved some snorkelling, beach party where Brian and I got to kayak and I got to play beach volleyball while he lay in a hammock, and limbo and drunken line dancing on the catamaran. (Sorry I couldn't help compare.) It was still a lot of fun though.
That night we had dinner with John and Wilma and Vicky and Michael at Verandah. I liked dining in the restaurants rather than doing the dinner buffet. I guess because breakfast and lunch are both buffet style so it's refreshing to end the day with a nice, sit-down dinner. They are so formal there, too. I noticed they kept calling me "my lady" during our first two days. Then they switched to "madame" for the rest of the trip. Anyway, they would take the food orders of all the women first before taking the men's orders. I noticed this particularly because we were sitting boy-girl-boy-girl in our table of six. They also set the women's food down before any of the men's food at the table. And then they would take unused utensils after each course, until gradually only your dessert fork or spoon (depending on what you ordered for dessert) was left. We were actually the last ones to leave Verandah that night. We finally had to leave because we were keeping them from setting up for casino night.
We sat through Showtime for a bit and then went back into Verandah for casino night. They gave you fake money and you got to choose from three different types of games: horse racing, black jack, and some dice game. Brian and I chose black jack. We didn't lose all of our money but we didn't win much either. Louise was the big winner, hitting like four or five black jacks in a row. It was her day. She and Mike were married on the beach that same afternoon. Their wedding took place as we were getting our cat cruise orientation.
So anyway, at the end of the casino thing couples got to pool their money together to bid on blind auction items. Lou and Mike won the first one because she had won so much at black jack. I think the other people cheated and started pooling their fake winnings because some of the bids were just outrageous. There was no way any two people could've won that much in the short period that we were playing. Then again, maybe Brian and I were just sore that we didn't win any of the auctions. LOL. We had fun, though, and we met some more people.
Here are some of the pictures we took during the glass-bottom boat tour and cat cruise..

ST. LOUIS – The Sugarhill Gangs song Rappers Delight helped kick off the hip hop movement 40-years ago, but what are the best hip hop songs of all time?
BBC Music polled over 100 critics in 15 countries and another classic made it in the top five.
Coming in at number 4 is 1982 hit The Message from Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five.
The rest of the list is dominated by the so-called Golden Age of hip-hop between the mid-80s and mid-90s.
Coming in at number #1 is Juicy by Notorious B.I.G., number 2 Fight The Power by Public Enemy, number 3 Shook Ones Part Two by Mobb Deep and "Nuthin` But a `G` Thang" by Dr. Dre and Snoop Doggy Dogg rounds out the top 5.

For those of you not familiar with "mattress runs," they're not as dirty as they sound. A mattress run is when you stay in a hotel for the sole purpose of collecting hotel points and/or accumulating hotel status. It's the hotel equivalent of a mileage run, whereby you fly for the sole purpose of accumulating airline miles and/or airline status.
I live in hotels full time, so I shouldn't really have a need to do a mattress run as such. In other words, I need somewhere to stay anyway, and therefore shouldn't be making hotel stays solely for the purpose of earning points.
Except I'm doing exactly that tonight. I booked a hotel I don't plan on spending the night at… because it's worth it for the points.
As many of you may be aware, Starwood has some extremely generous stackable promotions at the moment:
- 9,000 bonus Starpoints if you stay at nine Starwood brands in 2015
- 2,500 bonus Starpoints when you use SPG Keyless and pay with an Amex
- 2,015 bonus Starpoints when you stay at any SPG property in December
- Starwood's global "Stay For More" promotion
I'm staying at the Royal Palm South Beach tomorrow night, which is Starwood's first Tribute Portfolio hotel. With that stay, I'll have stayed at eight Starwood brands this year.
But with just a week left in the year I'm realizing I won't have the opportunity to stay at a ninth Starwood brand this year. I'm leaving the country over the weekend for the rest of the year, and the place I'm going to doesn't have any Element, Four Points, or Design Hotels properties (which are the brands I need to stay at to earn the 9,000 bonus Starpoints).
So I got a bit creative. I booked the Element Miami Airport for tonight, which was ~$136 including tax.
As luck would have it, this is also an SPG Keyless property, so for that stay I'll earn 11,500 bonus Starpoints (9,000 bonus Starpoints for having stayed at nine brands this year, plus 2,500 bonus Starpoints for using SPG Keyless). Altogether I'll be earning over 12,000 Starpoints, which is about one cent per Starpoint — that's a deal.
The catch is that I can't actually make it to Miami tonight (after all, I want to spend Christmas with my family). But thanks to SPG Keyless I can already check-in and get my room assigned, and then tomorrow when I get to Miami I can go to the hotel so I will have technically used the room.
Since I have guaranteed 4PM check-out, I can just head there in the early afternoon. No "tricks" needed, as I'll be within all the rules of the program, so it won't be a phantom stay (hotels don't issue you points for phantom stays, meaning if you make a booking and don't actually check-in you can't earn points).
Bottom line
As much as it kills me to book a hotel room and not actually use it, I couldn't turn down ~12,000 Starpoints for ~$136, given that I won't be anywhere for the rest of the year which has a property that would make me eligible for the bonus.
Anyone else doing a mattress run to maximize this year's SPG bonuses? Am I crazy for what I'm doing?

The history of the object, which is the largest building complex of profane architecture in Banská Štiavnica, is bounded with mining history. The Kammerhof house was a residence of state mining,smelting, minting and steel industry in the territory of recent Slovakia and partly Hungary for several centuries
The exhibition Mining in Slovakia presents the history of mineral extraction, techniques and technology, processing, development of other mining sciences as well as ventilation, lighting and mine surveying from the earliest days till the present. The inseparable part of the history is the folk art of miners and mining education.
The treasury of the Austrian Monarchy was visited also by the members of the Habsburg´s dynasty. Interest in natural science,mineralogy, mining and alchemy was one of the reasons for the most significant visitation - Franz Joseph of Lothringen, the Roman and German Emperor, the co-ruler and husband of the Austrian Empress Maria Theresa, Joseph II. in 1751, a throne successor, his brother Leopold, and the Saxon duke Albert, prince´s brother–in-law visited Banská Štiavnica in 1764.

Little Stars and Galloping Steeds:
Kingston Shakespeare Seminar in Theory Conference
June 22, 2018, Rose Theatre, London.
10am – 6:30pm.
Call for Papers:
There is a lot of sex in Shakespeare. Some characters have sex, some brag about having it, and some do everything in their power to shun it. Some of the sex is consensual, much of it is rapacious. There is sexuality between men and women, men and men, women and women, people and animals, and people and gods. The very definition of comedy, as a genre, hinges on the sexual act.
Sex is also about political power. It is used to enforce gender, class, and ethnic categories through disavowal, demonisation, and displacement. However, as Jonathan Dollimore observes in Sexual Dissidence, sex can also be a form of dissident knowledge. For deviance is disobedience. As the cross-dressing Rosalind says in As You Like It, "the wiser the waywarder"! Through what Dollimore calls "the perverse dynamic", the sexual dissident can discover the displaced Other at the very heart of the authority that attempts to disavow it.
For this conference, we are calling for an investigation of the role of sex and sexuality, in its political, figurative, and theatrical sense, in Shakespeare's plays. Papers could unblushingly peer into Shakespeare's plays and poems and perform a close-viewing of their sexuality. We welcome papers that set the sexuality in the plays' historical period as well as papers that read the sexuality as a means to critique our present moment. We welcome papers that read the sexuality through a preferred theoretical lens; Feminism, Psychoanalysis and Queer Theory are good fits, but what about Marxism, Eco-criticism, and, well, the animal turn.
Confirmed Plenary speaker: Jonathan Dollimore and Jerzy Limon
Possible topics:
- What is the role of sexual desire and pleasure in Shakespeare's plays and poems?
- What can be said about Shakespeare's ambiguity as to whether certain characters actually have sex (Bottom and Titania, for example)?
- How have directors staged sex in Shakespeare performances?
- What is the role of sexual refusal in the plays and poems?
- How is sex weaponised or used in power moves such as rape (Lavinia, Lucrece), or through manipulation (Richard and Anne, Henry V and Katherine)?
- What is the relationship between sex and court or state power?
- What is the role of sexual deviance and perversion in the plays and poems?
- How does the sex act of the bed trick work hermeneutically?
- How can we read Shakespeare's allusions to varies types of sex acts – intercourse, oral sex, anal sex – and different parts of the sex act – wooing, orgasm, post-coitus?
- What qualities of sex are found in Shakespeare – phallic-centred, female-centered, rapacious, BDSM, polymorphous perverse?
- What role does sexuality play in the plays' queer relations, in their rainbow of forms – open, mistaken, ambiguous, closeted, sublimated?
- What role is sexual allusion playing when it is deployed by Shakespeare in violence – Samson's and Gregory's opening dialogue in Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth's dagger speech (2.1.33-64)?
- What role do the sexual acts of prostitutes play in the plays?
- How can incest be read in, say, Pericles and Hamlet?
- How does it change the reading of a play if it is assumed that certain characters – say, Hamlet and Ophelia, Demetrius and Helena, the poet and the fair youth – have already had sex before the opening of the play/poem?
- What role does sex play in Classical allusions – Ovid, Homer, Apuleius – in the plays and poems?
Please send paper proposals/abstracts to the conference organisers:
Christian Smith and Paul Hamilton by May 31, 2018.

Progressive Care Inc. Subsidiaries PharmCo and Family Physicians Ranked in the Top 25% in the Nation by Humana
/EIN News/ -- MIAMI, Sept. 12, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Progressive Care Inc. (OTCQB: RXMD), a personalized healthcare services and technology company, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiaries PharmCo, LLC and Family Physicians Rx (FPRX) have met all four of the performance measures and is in the top 25% of the nation evaluated by Humana Inc., a leading health and well-being company, as part of its Rx Quality Network program.
Provided by Humana Pharmacy Solutions, a division of Humana Inc., the Rx Quality Network focuses on the health outcomes of patient care related to medication adherence, in addition to rewarding pharmacies for adherence performance. The program aims to partner with participating pharmacies to improve member adherence in targeted drug classes, which may result in higher-quality care. The quality-based network rewards pharmacies on performance and establishes their pharmacy in-network/preferred for PDP/MAPD plans.
Scores are based on the pharmacy's ability to ensure that patients are adherent with prescribed therapies for chronic conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol. For example, if 95% of the pharmacy's patients have taken their recommended dose of a statin therapy, that pharmacy would be ranked in the top 25% and thus be eligible for maximum performance payout for that metric.
PharmCo (Miami) received the following performance scores for the months of January 2019 - June 2019 (The percentages in green denote the percentage of adherent Humana patients using the pharmacy. The percentile denotes the ranking of the pharmacy in the Humana network):
Family Physicians Rx received the following performance scores for the months of January 2019 - June 2019:
PharmCo Rx 1002 (Palm Beach) did not meet 3 out of the 4 measures for the period January – June 2019. This location was negatively impacted by an influx of new patients switching to the pharmacy in May and June 2019 who had been non-adherent with medication regimens during the year. Many of the patients came to PharmCo at the recommendation of their physician as result of the Company's reputation for improving patient health outcomes and adherence. The Company believes that improving the medication therapies of these patients through the remainder of the year will help improve scores overall for the annual measurement period.
"We are very proud that we have hit all of our performance metrics for the first measurement period of 2019 and that PharmCo and FPRX has ranked in the top 25% of the nation in back to back Humana evaluations," said S. Parikh Mars, Chief Executive Officer of Progressive Care Inc. "These latest performance metrics are a direct reflection of our efforts to provide quality customer service and position our pharmacies as a physician's first choice when it comes to choosing a pharmacy provider for their patients."

"Training this morning was phenomenal."
The Agency Systems' training this morning was phenomenal. I must say Melaine really took us to another level. She offered to do one on one for about 30 minutes once a week to help in clearing up dashboards and getting the data in our systems accurate and up to date. I believe one of the biggest takeaways from the training today is working our dashboards, keeping a flow in the diary using the timestamp and keeping it open until it is completely resolved. I know she appreciate the team coming together this morning utilizing all that knowledge she has to make our agency even better.
Thanks Melaine!!!!
