The decision to include Crusaders winger Sevu Reece in the All Blacks squad was, on the face of it, completely unsurprising. The 22 year old has scored 15 tries in 14 appearances for the Crusaders and was in electric form throughout Super Rugby, eventually being named Rookie of the Year.
Yet, the decision made by Steve Hansen to include Reece comes just a year after he was charged with "male assaults female", the legal term for spousal abuse in New Zealand. Ultimately, Reece, having pleaded guilty, was fined but discharged without conviction after the judge declared the potential damage to his rugby career to be a mitigating circumstance.
On the night in question, Reece returned home drunk and was heard yelling expletives at his partner, before being seen by neighbours chasing her down the street and dragging her to the ground. As a result, she suffered bruising to the side of her face and waist, and bleeding to her knee.
Reece himself has since stated, "that's all in the past," and "we're all here to learn and become better people," but, given the brutal details, is that really enough? Can this be a man New Zealanders would be proud to see pull on the national jersey?
Whilst All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has condemned Reece's actions, he has controversially defended the decision to include him in the squad for the coming Rugby Championship.
"You have got to remove him out of it and say, look there's been a domestic violence incident," Hansen, a former police officer, began, "do we agree with it? No, we don't. Does the New Zealand Rugby Union? No, they don't. Do the Crusaders? No, they don't."
According to Hansen, however, domestic violence is, "a big part of our society unfortunately… so rugby is going to have people within its community that are involved in this."
"And having been a policeman, I've seen plenty of it. And I know it's not just restricted to males assaulting women, women assault males too. It's not a gender thing, it's a New Zealand problem."
It is for this particular claim, that domestic violence is 'not a gender thing' that Hansen has been lambasted. Hansen's decision to even make such a claim is, in and of itself, bizarre, and completely unrelated to the case in hand. In particular, Ang Jury, the chief executive of the New Zealand Women's Refuge, hit out hard at Hansen's comments.
"He's referring to ideas that are old, debunked, based on his experience as a police officer some 20-odd years ago… it's a gendered problem that New Zealand has. There is no statistic available that demonstrates anything other than that," she argued.
New Zealand has one of the developed world's highest rates of domestic violence, according to a UN report the country has one of the worst records of family violence in the world.
Furthermore, between the years 2009 and 2015, there were 92 intimate partner deaths. In 98 per cent of these deaths where there was a long term, recorded history of abuse, women were the victim, abused by their male partner.
Therefore, it is simply inaccurate for Hansen to suggest that domestic abuse a gendered issue. Likewise, for him to portray domestic abuse as simply an unfortunate fact of life in New Zealand, rather than an endemic problem that the country's national team should be involved in fighting, is tasteless and misguided.
Sending a clear message that the All Blacks are committed to fighting domestic violence, such a huge issue in New Zealand, would surely have been the correct course of action, rather than appearing resigned to its presence and willing to defend its perpetrators.
Fundamentally, Sevu Reece should not be playing for the All Blacks so soon after committing such a crime.

Is your aquarium water at the correct temperature?
Blog post written by Gary | 18 November 2015 | Category: Aquarium and pond equipment
(2020 views)
As winter is nearly upon us, the room in which your aquarium is situated may get colder therefore making your aquarium heater work harder. If the temperature drops too low the fish will be more susceptible to diseases such as Whitespot or bacterial infections.
To make sure your aquarium is kept at the correct temperature it is wise to invest in a thermometer to monitor the aquarium temperature, which should ideally be between 24c and 27c for most common tropical fish. Thermometers are available either as a stick-on unit which attaches to the glass outside of the aquarium, or a standard glass thermometer which attaches to the glass inside the aquarium. Also now available are precision digital thermometers giving greater accuracy, some of which are fitted with an alarm to let you know the temperature has dropped to a dangerous level.
It is good idea to check your heater is working correctly. This can be done by looking for the red neon indicator light which is fitted to most heaters. This will be lit when the heater is on and heating the water in the aquarium.
If you are finding the heater is struggling to keep the aquarium water within the normal tropical temperature range, you may need to increase the temperature at which the heater has been set. Most heaters have a dial which has been set to the required temperature; however as the heater becomes older the temperature can sometimes drift down, at which point the temperature dial may have to be increased by a degree or two to compensate for the drift in temperature.
The heater should never be taken out of the aquarium unless the power to the heater has been turned off for at least 30 minutes this will allow the heater to cool down. Should the heater be taken out of the aquarium while it is still hot there is a risk the heater glass will crack damaging the heater.
UV Filtration for aquariums and ponds
Blog post written by Gary | 14 November 2013 | Category: Aquarium and pond equipment
(3503 views)
It has been known for a long time that UV light of a certain wavelength has germicidal properties. The wavelength between 200nm (nanometers) and 280nm is UVC radiation and the wavelength of 254nm (or if you want to be exact 253.7nm) is the most efficient at destroying or severely disrupting most micro-organisms.
We have two types of products which use UV lamps: an aquarium sterilizer and a pond clarifier. Both have the same UV lamps but are used to solve different problems.
The aquarium sterilizer is set up to destroy many organisms including fungal spores, some bacteria, protozoans, viruses, Oodiniun and Cryptocaryonin found in marine aquariums. A UV sterilizer is usually installed in the return pipe back to the aquarium from an external filter as any dirty water or discolouration of the water will interfere with the treatment of the water.
There are many benefits in fitting a UV sterilizer to an aquarium especially a marine aquarium:
- It reduces bacteria and pathogen levels and helps to keep Whitespot in check.
- It helps the introduction of new fish.
- It improves water quality.
- It reduces the risk of any disease spreading.
A pond clarifier works in the same way as the aquarium sterilizer in using a UV lamp, however it is set up to primarily to destroy waterborne algae giving a crystal clear pond. The pond UV unit can be installed before or after the filter or in some installations just the UV unit without a filter system, with the pond water being pumped through and back into the pond.
UV lamps should normally be replaced every 6 months (4000 hours) in an aquarium sterilizer and 12 months (8000 hours) in a pond clarifier. When changing lamps the quartz glass which protects the UV lamp should be cleaned to maintain optimum performance of the unit.
UV radiation is dangerous; never look directly at an illuminated UV lamp.

- Paperback
- 288 pages
- Published February 13th, 2018 by First Second
- Original Title The Prince and the Dressmaker
- Edition Language English
- Harvey Awards for Best Children or Young Adult Book AND nominated for Book of the Year (2018)

From the publisher, "Paris, at the dawn of the modern age:
Prince Sebastian is looking for a bride―or rather, his parents are looking for one for him. Sebastian is too busy hiding his secret life from everyone. At night he puts on daring dresses and takes Paris by storm as the fabulous Lady Crystallia―the hottest fashion icon in the world capital of fashion!
Sebastian's secret weapon (and best friend) is the brilliant dressmaker Frances―one of only two people who know the truth: sometimes this boy wears dresses. But Frances dreams of greatness, and being someone's secret weapon means being a secret. Forever. How long can Frances defer her dreams to protect a friend? Jen Wang weaves an exuberantly romantic tale of identity, young love, art, and family. A fairy tale for any age, The Prince and the Dressmaker will steal your heart"
My Thoughts
This book follows the story of two main characters, The Prince Sebastian as he comes to terms with who he is and what he enjoys doing. Sebastian enjoys dressing up in beautiful woman's clothing. Francis is a talented dressmaker and Sebastian's best friend that creates works of art for him to wear. Together they explore friendship and navigate what it means to love someone unconditionally.
I fervently wish that books like this existed when I was a preteen/teenager. I think that if I have had access to literature of this quality and subject content, maybe the world would have not seemed so strange and foreign when I left my protective bubble as a child and became an adult. Not only is this book well written and beautifully executed, but it is also an important subject because people are people, no matter how small… how they want to dress, or how they see themselves.
"My whole life is other people deciding what's acceptable. When I put on a dress, I get to decide what's silly."
This book primarily deals with being different and how people will love you an except you given half the chance. The prince is a crossdresser, he likes big and beautiful dresses, specifically those of a seamstress that he has befriended. Together they form a partnership based on friendship and eventually love. This story is the perfect blend of sweetness, authenticity, joy, sadness and ultimately love overlayed with Jen Wang's gorgeous illustrations.
Even though this book is marketed to teenagers and young adults, I whole heartedly recommend this book to anyone. It is beautifully done, and a short read. You won't be disappointed in it's content.

A lighting and events group created quite a holiday destination for Seattlites: Enchant. The venue was at capacity with people interested to wander and explore.
Enchant involves many levels of Seattle's Safeco Stadium, where the Seattle Mariners baseball team play during their season. Enchant is a great use of the facility in their off-season. Enchant takes over the perimeter levels with food, drink, music, and vendor markets, and most importantly takes over the entire main field with a huge maze light show and meandering ice skating path through lit Christmas trees.
The sensory overload is fun, and the kids like the treasure hunt of finding all of the reindeer throughout the maze. There are light displays at gardens and other facilities around the area, though this one differentiates itself by being under roof and compact with lots of support activities plus ice skating.

Bromley-by-Bow teacher features in national TV advert
PUBLISHED: 11:41 02 October 2018 | UPDATED: 12:06 02 October 2018
A Bromley-by-Bow teacher is one of the stars of a national TV advert encouraging people to take up the profession.
Jack Finnerty – an English teacher at East London Arts and Music School in Maltings Close, Bromley-by-Bow – makes his television debut in ad breaks during shows including shows Gogglebox and Coronation Street on Friday.
The 24-year-old, who has notched up three years in the classroom, said: "The filming was a unique experience and I feel proud to be part of the recruitment campaign.
"This film truly captures the impact we as teachers can have in shaping the lives of young people and setting them on the right path for adult life." The ad follows schoolgirl Abi from her first day at school as a wide-eyed four-year-old through to leaving as a confident 18-year-old.
Jack appears among a cast of practising teachers with the aim of highlighting that teaching isn't only about what youngsters become but who they develop into.
"Like many careers, teaching comes with its challenges, but the reward of being a positive influence and seeing young people succeed inside and outside the classroom is what motivates us every day," Jack said.
The ad's launch coincides with World Teachers' Day celebrating the differnce teachers make in young people's lives.
Roger Pope from recruitment campaign group Get Into Teaching said: "We hope our advert will convey the many rewards a career in teaching can bring.
"As well as emotional rewards, teaching is a profession that has fantastic prospects."
The latest government numbers show that in 2015 within the inner London boroughs, which includes Tower Hamlets, 14 per cent of primaries reported teacher shortages with 22pc of secondaries facing the same issue.
Schools in the capital and nationwide have struggled to fill vacancies in recent years with more than half of London's headteachers reporting shortages, according to London mayor Sadiq Khan's annual 'Education Report'.
Higher living costs and a thriving jobs market make it harder for the capital's schools to find teachers, the report adds.
In a national recruitment drive, a £26,000 tax-free bursary to train in subjects including science, computing and languages is on offer.

Aug 14, 2019This means that the program configuration folder has disappeared in its entirety. The program itself cannot do something like this (because it simply doesn't not how to do that), so the cause is external. With nearly 100% certainty this was done by an antivirus or other software of "security" nature, most likely due to seeing an update package being saved there.
You can try and check the "quarantine" log for such software, see where it might've stashed the data. Alternatively, you can search for a file called bvckup2.log, which will be in the root of the config folder.
Once you found the copy of the config folder, exit the program, put the config folder back in its place (see below) and then start the program. If you switched bvckup2 to run in service mode, you will also need to stop "bvckup2" service before restoring the config folder.
In desktop mode all configuration data lives in %LocalAppData%\Bvckup2 folder.
In service mode, the user interface data lives in %LocalAppData%\Bvckup2 and the engine (service) data is in %ProgramData%\Bvckup2. All backup jobs are stored in the engine configuration.
See https://bvckup2.com/support/forum/topic/480 for complete details on what's stored where.

It was a full house on Thursday when I saw the School of Rock Musical at the Pantages. The show is ending on May 27 and next will be heading to Denver, Colorado at the Buell Theater from May 29 – June 10. Check out School of Rock for dates near you!
Wow I had a blast! It was such fun talking to the kids about the national tour, singing and dancing, and their life on tour. I didn't realize how much work they truly put in to the show till I saw it. The kids are actually playing their instruments on stage! They are all so talented and hardworking.
From the opening moment when Dewey comes out hamming it on the stage I was rolling laughing over the crazy song 'I'm too sexy for you' to when they go to the school and show everyone conforming to society to "Stick it to the Man". This cast turned a classic 2000s movie into a broadway hit that surpasses all expectations. The strong display of talent was outstanding!
After being kicked out of No Vacancy, Dewey finds himself bandless, penniless, and friendless. Desperate for a change, he scams Rosalie Mullins and the Horace Green Prep School into thinking he is Ned, a real substitute teacher. He turns these uptight kids into rockstars, and help them realize they are talented individuals. While "Sticking it to the Man", they secretly practice during class instead of receiving a standard education. Ned leaves a lasting impact on his students, Rosalie Mullins and the other Horace Green staff members, and the parents.
I had a blast watching them sing and dance! This is definitely a kid-centric musical that all ages would love.The show is high energy, catchy, upbeat, maybe even inspirational, and you will leave with a smile. School of Rock the Musical is definitely a favorite of mine.
You can still buy tickets to see the show at the Pantages here for School of Rock and the rest of the season. The next musical is going to be 'The Color Purple'.
The upcoming season will feature these musicals checkout the box office for tickets.

What You Need To Know Regarding Making Website The…
There are numerous things you require into consideration whenever you are into the website creation industry. You will, first of all, want to know web design code, for which you should do some kind of course. Below, however , we all will cover basic principles of what you need to remember as you look into building your primary web site. Firstly, you will need the graphics, you could then need the structure and then you must think of the fonts you will use.
Graphics In terms of the web style graphics www.grtaxservice.com available for you website, this always assists if you think little. We are certainly not talking about tiny web design graphics, we are talking about small size images or perhaps videos. Everyone hates webpages that load up too little by little, so you have to use your potential client at heart at all times. The best sizes for the purpose of images will probably be around 10 kb to about 12 kb. And remember that you want appealing images, or images that go with the other parts of your content. So if you present an article regarding boxing you will need to use an photograph that fits into that category, like a boxing bag, or simply boxing gloves. As for the net design show images, which look great upon some websites, there has been a report that demonstrates they are extremely annoying to a lot of people. It is advised to not use these kinds of, and if you have to keep them to a minimum. These kinds of too have long to load and therefore will certainly force individuals to not want to load your web page a second time.
Design When it comes to styles you will want to follow easy layouts, you should keep in mind that the more challenging layouts also, like the much larger images, slow up the loading method for your customers. So you will be better off sticking with standard usual layouts. There are some web design styles that will simply annoy your readers and will get them to be not want to become on your web-site. Like the one web-site that I stumbled on that you had to scroll side by side, which show that you do not scroll down. This makes it very difficult, mainly because some mice do not allow you to scroll sideways with the tyre, so you will have to use the scroll bar, and never many persons like using those. And I also came upon a website that has 8 unique boxes using one page, which in turn mean that you will need to activate each box if you want to visit something inside of that container, which is very annoying. The simple layouts do the job, you will even be better off using readymade styles that you could purchase, these are designed using the simple structure and look good, you are also able to find very beautiful hi-tech pre built internet site that you could decide on.
Fonts When it comes to baptistère for website creation you do not really want to use too many on one page. When you look at a magazine you do not see too many web site on a page, the same is true of colors pertaining to web design, the editor uses the same typeface for all news bullitains and the same font for a lot of other text message, and with color, you will need to use the same color throughout your page, you might change the font and color on different pages, yet doing it in different ways on the same site will be very entertaining.

There's a completely new Ram pickup truck in the works. According to the newest reports, the car manufacturer started developing its mid-size truck in order to fill the hole made when the Dodge Dakota disappeared from the map. The successor of the amazing pickup truck will reportedly be introduced in two years, most likely wearing a familiar nameplate. Well, this time, the name it's not going to be under Dodge jurisdiction. Instead, FCA will most probably introduce the mid-size pickup truck named the 2022 Ram Dakota.
Allegedly, the all-new Dakota will be nothing alike its predecessor. Unlike the model that went off the scene in 2011 and provided respectable abilities that were supported by a V8 engine, the future model will be a significantly softer vehicle. More precisely, the automaker is reconsidering possibility to build the mid-size pickup truck which will share underpinning with the next-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee. This way, the unibody-based next-generation Dakota will be able to provide an exceptional riding quality, as well as a high-level of comfort inside of the cabin and fuel-efficient powertrains. The architecture made for crossover SUVs opens up new possibilities under the hood, so the 2022 Ram Dakota might have some electrification in mind.
Still, neither of the rumors has been officially confirmed so far, so we only know that the Dakota successor is underway and that it's going to be produced abroad. To be more precise, FCA plans to move its heavy-duty truck from Mexico to the United States. Meaning, the Saltillo, Mexico, assembly plant will be in charge of the 2022 Ram Dakota.

2021 Latin America Forecast
2.5 hours of analysis, data and insights
September 24 | 12:30 PM ET
With more than 600 LatAm consumer and retail market studies completed, we'll expand your understanding of your customers in ways that can improve both your sales and margins.
The end of the commodity supercycle in 2014 robbed Latin America of 20% of its dollar measured GDP. Since then, LatAm households and companies have steadily paid down debt levels, restructured and again began to grow in 2017, adding $500 billion USD back to the economy.
In 2018, Latin America will complete its comeback, adding $600 billion USD to the economy. The 200 million middle class consumers (out of a total of 600 million) are ready to spend again as consumer credit flows once more.
At the beginning of another up-cycle in Latin America, market intelligence enjoys only a short shelf life, obliging consumer brands to continuously upgrade their knowledge of customer preferences and the competitive landscape.
for LAC consumer insights.
However, even companies with experience in LAC are unaware of how challenging consumer research in the region can be. Quite often, the standard tactics of focus groups, phone surveys and online panels that deliver a wealth of information in other markets don't work as well in Latin America. Or what works well in one country may not work well in another.
That's where Americas Market Intelligence's 25+ years of experience in the region comes into play. We know what works to get you the insights you need for the market you need. Instead of a rough sketch, you'll have a detailed portrait of your customers so you can tailor your marketing, pricing and product development accordingly.

Personally Financing of USD 200 Million: True or False?
The non-executive chairman and angel investor of Luckin Coffee, LU Zhengyao is seeking a loan of at least USD 200 million from banks including Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.
On Mar 12, 2019, Reuters reported that the non-executive chairman and angel investor of Luckin Coffee, LU Zhengyao (陆正耀), is seeking a loan of at least USD 200 million from banks including Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. Reuters said that according to people with knowledge of the matter, LU would award them with the rights to join the Luckin's IPO in U.S. EqualOcean contacted with Luckin Coffee to confirm the truth of this information but received no reply.
According to the earlier reports of Reuters, Luckin Coffee has already mandated Credit Suisse to lead its IPO in the U.S. and is estimated to be finished in May 2019. Besides Credit Suisse, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are also helped Luckin to prepare of IPO issues.
Introduced in last year, Luckin Coffee is expanding rapidly and completed 2 rounds of financing with USD 400 million. Luckin opened more than 2,000 stores within 1 year and plans to open more than 4,500 stores by the end of 2019, which aims to overtake Starbucks in China.
After the B round financing of Luckin Coffee in Dec 2018, the company was evaluated around USD 2.2 billion. EqualOcean used to analysis the possible valuation range of Luckin Coffee in 2021, and we believe that the valuation range of Luckin may between USD 3 billion to USD 8.1 billion. However, according to Reuters's last month's report, the IPO of Luckin would be given a valuation of about USD 3 billion. Although we did not get the reply from Luckin Coffee, we suspect that the information of the loan of USD 200 million might be true, for the valuation seek.
People who have knowledge about that told that LU told Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley that Credit Suisse has agreed to provide USD $200 million as a loan for him, reported by Reuters. However, these two investment banks are still negotiating on that. The Reuters also reported the loan collateral would be the share of Luckin Coffee. However, if Luckin fails in IPO, the loan collateral would be replaced by LU's share in Shenzhou Cars Rental Company, which is listed in Hong Kong.
Reuters says that LU, as the chairman of Shenzhou Cars Rental Company, owns about 33% of the company's share. However, EqualOcean can only find 15.1% of the Shenzhou's share has a relationship with LU, according to public information.
The CEO of Luckin Coffee, QIAN Zhiya (钱治亚), is also the former COO of Shenzhou Cars Rental Company. EqualOcean found that the Credit Suisse and Morgan Stanley are the two investment banks which help with the IPO of Shenzhou in Hong Kong. Whether LU asks for a loan from these two banks, EqualOcean believes that Luckin coffee may have some cooperation with them.

Flying J in Albuquerque, New Mexico, is conveniently located on the south side of Interstate 40. Unfortunately they are in the middle of a remodel that seems to be taking precedence over customer service. I was there on the evening of September 22, 2010, and witnessed a Keystone Kops re-enactment. Apparently they are not only doing major interior work on the main building, they've chosen to undertake diesel pump work at the same time. Except they didn't bother putting up any traffic-control devices, thus allowing the big-rig refueling lanes to become a tangled nightmare of drivers jockeying for the few pump lanes that remained operational. Several gave up and left.

Visiting Cottesloe, Again
While on our way to the airport, heading home, to Puchong, we dropped by Cottesloe Beach once more.
It has that powerful attraction, one longs for.
Again, it is just 15-20mins drive from where we were staying.
When we arrived, the wind was not as strong as few days before. It has mellowed down, like the wind is giving us a gentle warmness farewell, and I could feel the place is calling us back, again.
And we will be back, some day.
Our prayers, may the Lord bring us here again, Amen.

Art was an outlet and an income for Eidelberg
Beth Eidelberg had two passions: art and San Antonio.
A painter for most of her life and professionally for half a century, Eidelberg was known for her watercolors of nostalgic scenes in an around San Antonio from flower markets to Jefferson High School to the historic homes in the King William Historic District.
Eidelberg died from complications with diabetes on Feb. 14. She was 84.
"She was born with the talent share," her brother Jay Weidenfeld said. "Beth was, before she was four or five, drawing with quite a bit of skill."
Weidenfeld said her parents made sure she was in classes and schools that fostered her talent all the way through college, but the college format didn't sit right with her. She graduated and did some commercial work, and she was able to do it, but "it was a more work for her. It was hard for her."
"She was more specifically oriented toward fine art — toward her own individual paintings," Weidenfeld said. "When she came back to San Antonio, she resolved to be a fine artist with her own studio. She was much more in tune to work from her own inspiration."
Eidelberg first gained recognition for bringing the colors in the flower markets to light.
"She was drawn to and skilled with bringing color to things that attracted and appealed to people," Weidenfeld said. "She was almost magnetically drawn to South Texas."
Her artwork — which is on display in the homes of three generations — is laden with buildings and structures dripping in flowers but also includes the state capitol building and the first Luby's Cafeteria on Broadway.
"Like most artists, she only wanted absolute perfection," Weidenfeld said. "She was not an art factory and rarely duplicated a painting."
An active member of the San Antonio Art League, she was named the league's Artist of the Year in 1990.
Arty Bentch said she was like a second mom to him since she was more like a sister than a cousin to his mom. He is handling her estate and putting together an art show to celebrate her life and benefit the San Antonio Art League. The bulk of her work has been donated to charity and Bentch said he also has much more than they will display.
"We are going to be displaying 17 pieces of her work," Bentch said. "They are the best representations of her life and her work."
More Information
Beth W. Eidelberg
Born: Sept. 26, 1933, San Antonio
Died: Feb. 14, 2018, San Antonio
Preceded by: Parents Anna and Amnon Weidenfeld; first husband, Jack Eidelberg; second husband Leonard Stern; children Linda and Mark Eidelberg
Survived by: Brother Jay Weidenfeld; stepson Michael Stern; stepdaughter Carla Yegher, and three grandchildren
Service: 3 p.m Friday, Franklin Park Alamo Heights, 230 West Sunset Road.
The art show was Eidelberg's idea nearly a year ago as just another show, so she hired June Hays and Associates to handle the art and plan the show.
"She had expressed an interest in doing a show in April," Bentch said. "By the time we decided to do the show, her health had deteriorated to a point that she would be able to be involved."
The celebration of life will start with a cocktail hour on March 22 at Los Patios and will be hosted an indefinite number of days until all 17 pieces are sold.
"She outlived two husbands and two children. She was happiest in the art world," Bentch said. "She cared so much for other people and the craft and she was all about San Antonio."

This week we loaded up for yet another state park to mark off of our list. It ended up being possibly my favorite park yet! James H "Sloppy" Floyd State Park (named after a gangly Georgia State Representative, hence the "sloppy") was like a little diamond in the rough- a small park tucked right in the middle of true country residential roads.
My love for this 561 acre park began with the drive to it. Once we turned off of I-75, we drove through some genuine small-town country roads, and got to enjoy the views of the beautiful Chattahoochee National Forest. The lime green spring trees surrounded us and gave a real sense of mountain living. It had my imagination running about what it would be like to move from big-ol metro Atlanta into the quiet country.
Once we arrived into the park, the stillness and beauty continued. The park surrounds a small lake with trees, which have hiking trails and backcountry campsites tucked away in them. We saw very few people while at the park (perks of heading up on a Tuesday afternoon), and the ones we did see were quiet older men enjoying fishing and watching ducks swim. Upon stopping at the visitors center, we found that it was only $5 a person to rent a pedal boat. This seemed like the perfect activity for us and our 3 year old son to enjoy. We suited up in provided life jackets and headed out on the pedal boats, which were very nice and kept us covered from the sun while on the lake. Our son loved steering the boat while we did all the leg work!
We decided to give our leg muscles a break before heading out on a hike, so we took a while and fed the friendly ducks with food we purchased for $1. We got to enjoy seeing some tiny goslings which in the words of our son were "sooooo cute!" Once we regained some energy, we started on the 1.7 mile Marble Mine trail, which turned out to be a little more brutal than we expected. It was actually a bit of a challenging hike for a little kid, because it maintained a slightly steep incline for a majority of the time. He did fine with some encouragement but I could tell we were pushing the limits. There was a compost toilet on the trail, which is a part of the much larger Pinhoti trail, so that was a plus for someone bringing children.
When it already felt like we had been hiking for a while, we were staring up the steepest part of the trail yet, and I was thinking our son's good attitude was going to crack soon. We kept pushing though and as soon as we reached the peak of the trail, we heard a waterfall and felt cool, refreshing air surround us. A few more steps and we saw the reward of the trail: the Marble Mine waterfall. The old mine has a small boardwalk that takes you into the cave-like area and behind the stream of water pouring down. You can sit on a wooden bench behind the falls and peer into the beautiful pool of blue water, admire the mossy rock walls surrounding you, or try to see into the deep caverns behind you.
The Marble Mine Trail provided an experience for me that I don't often have in Georgia's mild nature. The feeling of a challenge opening up into a surprisingly beautiful part of earth, leaving you with a sense of true awe. I really recommend this hike for anyone, because albeit being moderately challenging for little kids or inexperienced hikers, the end reward is worth it. James H "Sloppy" Floyd Park was the perfect place to get away into nature and enjoy some peace. To me, this is the kind of place that keeps people coming back out to explore wildlife. It definitely gave me the boost I needed to keep going, with 48 State Parks to go!
Until next week-

Mary Wells
Mary has been called Motown's first superstar, even as she owed her popularity to Smokey Robinson, the alchemist who wrote and produced 'Two Lovers,' 'You Beat Me To The Punch,' 'The One Who Really Loves You' and 'My Guy' all her classic recordings showcased in The Mary Wells Collection.
"I liked writing for her voice," Robinson declared in his autobiography, Inside My Life. "Liked experimenting with her sound. In fact, I took my love for Harry Belafonte's calypso and gave an island flavour bongo bop to 'The One Who Really Loves You.' It hit big."
For her part, Mary told Goldmine's Wayne Jancik in 1987, "I didn't know how special it was at the time, but Smokey would just call. 'We've got a rehearsal,' he would say. 'I've got some tunes.' I'd go down to the studio and Smokey and I would get on the piano. He'd play. We'd get the right key. And we'd go over and over the song. I'd learn the basic melody. He'd let me get myself into it. It was so simple once you had the right people."
Smokey's tunes and that bongo bop was magic to early followers of Motown, not least the Beatles, whose subsequent endorsement of Mary (as well as Marvin Gaye and the Miracles) gave the company a boost of self-confidence. John, Paul, George and Ringo went further, inviting Mary to join the bill of their one and only UK tour of '64. To that point, no Motown artist had ever reached so many people in concert abroad.
To be sure, it had taken four years to get there. Born on May 13, 1943 in Detroit to a single mother, Mary suffered ill health as a child. Yet in church, she could sing her heart out and as a teenager, had the gumption to pitch one of her songs to a man she figured could help reach its intended target, Jackie Wilson. This was Berry Gordy, author of a number of Wilson's hits and the owner/operator of a new record company in the Motor City. Mary famously buttonholed him with the song ('Bye Baby Baby') at a Detroit nightclub; he told her to sing it on the spot. Deal!
'Bye Bye Baby' was one of the very first 45s issued on the Motown label, in September 1960, but it was curtain-up on a run of twelve – count them, twelve – consecutive Top Ten hits for Mary on Billboard's R&B countdown. What's more, three reached the Top Ten of the pop charts, and the tenth, 'My Guy,' blew all the way to No. 1. Her hits aside, the allure is evident on Something New: Motown Lost & Found, including a number of standards ('I've Grown Accustomed To His Face,' 'I Remember You') featuring the Four Tops on background vocals.
Nonetheless, at age 21, Mary was tempted to leave Berry Gordy's domain, in the year of her greatest success. At other record companies, she made worthy music, but lived at the edge of the pop charts, never again at their peak, until her premature death at age 49 on July 26, 1992.
The brilliance of her Motown legacy is undimmed at home and abroad. Those four musicians from Liverpool knew a good thing when they heard it.
Now that you are a Motown expert, test your knowledge and earn your degree at the Classic Motown University!

Presidential Power Rankings- #1
January 3, 2007
Welcome to a new weekly feature at CG Politics.
This is the inaugural edition of the 2008 Presidential Power Rankings.
Once a week (typically on Wednesdays), I will rank the top contenders in both parties by the likelihood of their managing to capture their party's Presidential nomination *as of the present time*. From week to week, I will make note of any changes in the standings.
As events warrant and as candidates drop out of the sweepstakes, the list will be narrowed to a smaller amount of candidates, but as of now, I want to be as inclusive as possible for both parties.
For now, we will start off with a lucky 13 in both parties. Is there anybody who you think I should include in the rankings?
As always, I welcome your comments on these rankings and how the Presidential campaign is shaping up, particularly as it related to the previous week's developments.
First, (and because I like to save the best for last), the Democrats:
1. Hillary Rodham Clinton
2. Barack Obama
3. John Edwards
4. Al Gore
5. Bill Richardson
6. Tom Vilsack
7. Joe Biden
8. Chris Dodd
9. John Kerry
10. Dennis Kucinich
11. Wes Clark
12. Mark Warner
13. Mike Gravel
The Grand Old Party:
1. John McCain
2. Mitt Romney
3. Rudy Giuliani
4. Mike Huckabee
5. Sam Brownback
6. Newt Gingrich
7. Tommy Thompson
8. Frank Keating
9. George Pataki
10. Jim Gilmore
11. Chuck Hagel
12. Duncan Hunter
13. John Cox

Nicotine and Neon is a track that draws together the echoing rock of The Velvet Underground with the tremendous vocal range of Heart or Fleetwood Mac. With chugging guitar lines, on-point drums, and a thick, ropy bass line, Nicotine and Neon recalls 1960s and 1970s rock perfectly. Heather O'Neill's vocals are unmatched during this single, both telling a story and contributing to the overall harmony of the cut. The track's instrumentation and vocals combine to make something that will stick with listeners long after the last notes of Nicotine and Neon play.
The last time we checked out O'Neill was concerning her 2011 album, A Feminist Manifesto .

Related Post: 5 Things to Do Everyday to be a Better You
Learn how to tell a story
Everyone enjoys an intriguing and captivating story. Armed with the ability to tell stories, your opportunities are endless.
Learn how to write
Writing doesn't always mean a pen and paper. Figure out how you prefer to share information with the world, and take that medium by storm. It can be through video, podcast, or a feathered pen on papyrus.
Learn how to edit
"There are no great writers, only great editors."
Learn how to ask the questions no one else is asking
"If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have told me a faster horse" – Henry Ford. There are many questions asked every day, but it takes creativity to ask the ones that no one else has yet asked.
Learn how to command an intelligent conversation
Storytelling is one component of this, but more than that is the ability to interact on a level that transcends day-to-day menial conversation.
Learn how to access your emotions
Humans, by nature, are emotional. Seek meaning to your life and dedicate your remaining hours, days, and years to that meaning. Your career will thrive like you've never imagined.
Learn how to plan your day
"Being busy" is not equivalent to a life of success and passion. Create a plan that makes sense for your life.
Learn how to observe
Teach yourself how to pick up trends and see what and how people act and interact. Better yet, apply what you learn to your own life to give yourself a stronger voice.
Learn how to be strategic
You'll be the idol of your industry if you can do this. To learn the best practices, look towards your current idols, for they would not have found success without proper strategy.
Learn how to dance, sing, and laugh
In the end, your career should not be the focus of your life. Your focus and your legacy shouldn't come from what you did from 8-5 each day, but how you spent your hours outside the office. Find your passion, follow it, and share it.

When students come to learn English at Oxford English Academy, they often book accommodation as well. I believe that this is one of the most important aspects of learning English abroad as accommodation can make or break a study abroad programme. And it's for this reason that we offer homestay or host family accommodation.
Host family accommodation is a wonderful form of accommodation for a number of reasons. First and foremost, it offers students a safe, caring environment in a foreign country, which can greatly ease the shock of going abroad for the first time. This is especially true for young learners as we see more and more parents sending their children abroad to experience other cultures and learn other languages. This brings me to the second reason why homestays are such a great form of accommodation.
Students get the opportunity to truly and authentically experience the culture, traditions, foods and genuine native language of the country they are staying in. We encourage all our homestay families to include students actively in their everyday life so that they can get a feel for how British and South African people live. I have found that this does wonders for erasing negative preconceived notions about countries that people might bring with them. We are all humans after all!
Lastly, I have found that students who stay in a homestay often learn English much faster than those who stay in a student residence, for example. Students get the full benefit of an immersion programme by being forced to speak English outside of the classroom. And where better to do this than in a safe, comfortable environment such as a host family? Once again we encourage our homestay families to actively engage with our students staying with them so that they can hear authentic English spoken and so that they have the opportunity to pick up colloquial and idiomatic language. And this is after all why they chose the learn English abroad!

'Conte the cream of super-managers' – Guardiola and Mourinho unable to match Chelsea boss: Collymore
Chelsea's title-winning boss Antonio Conte has upstaged Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho to become "the cream of the super-managers", says Stan Collymore.
The Italian ensured that his debut campaign in the Premier League will end with the top-flight crown on Friday as his side edged out West Brom to collect the three points needed to get them over the line.
Conte could yet to complete a league and cup double, with an FA Cup final date with Arsenal to come, his exploits casting an ever-lengthening shadow over his fellow high-profile arrivals from the summer of 2016.
Chelsea's summer transfer plans
Guardiola is guaranteed to end the campaign without a trophy at Manchester City, while Jose Mourinho requires Europa League success to get Manchester United back among the Champions League elite.
"Chelsea's coronation as Premier League champions on Friday confirmed what most of us have known for a while now," Collymore wrote in the Daily Mirror. "That Antonio Conte has been the cream of the crop of the super-managers who arrived in the top flight or were reintroduced to it last summer.
"Conte has won the title with a fairly modest spend, compared to Jose Mourinho at Manchester United and Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.
"And the fact he has been able to motivate players, who showed last season what moody devils they can be, is further proof of just what a great manager he is."
Former Liverpool striker Collymore added: "After six Premier League games, the rumour mill suggested he might be sacked, but he made a decisive change to a back three.
Courtois: People laughed at Chelsea
"He helped David Luiz prove me wrong in that back three, because I did not rate him as a defender in a two, but have to take my cap off to the way he has played this season.
"And, as for Victor Moses and Marcos Alonso, would Mourinho, Guardiola or Jurgen Klopp have turned them into wing-backs with the kind of success they have had?
"Doubtful, I'd say."

What is your dream destination vacation spot?
I'd really like to go to one of those sort of old school hot springs resorts in Japan. Traditional, with really good food.
If you could have lunch with any four authors who ever lived, who would be at your table?
I'd probably pick Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett because I love them, and then Earnest Hemmingway and Hunter S. Thompson, just to see what would happen.
What is your most precious time of the day?
I really like driving to pick up my son from school because it's quiet, alone time. Just me and a podcast, or my own thoughts, for a half hour.
How much research do you do for your novels?
Some? The idea of not getting things right makes me a little squirmy, so I tend to shy away from genres that require a lot of solid research, like historical fiction, and am more comfortable when I can create something that's completely my own.
That being said, my urban fantasy novels are set in the city where I used to live, and the other thing I've published is a horror novelette taking place in the 1950's.
Have you written any other novels in collaboration with other writers?
No, not yet. My husband and I have a project we're starting work on, but I've never collaborated much.
When did you decide to become a writer?
I think that's been a long time coming. Like, when I was little I went through the phase where I wanted to be a fireman, or a ballerina, or a painter, but then I hit writer and it just sort of stuck.
Why do you write?
See, that's actually a really tough question? I guess I do it because I really like it. Plus, stories kind of mean a lot to me, as books, movies, comics, whatever. I feel like that's how we really communicate to each other, even if we don't always get the messages on a conscious level.
Where do the your ideas come from?
Everywhere. And they tend to stew for a while. My horror novelette was inspired by a series of paintings of women from the necks down, wearing party dresses and holding sledge hammers and chainsaws.
Most often though, I get ideas from other people's work. If the well is running on empty, often seeing a really good movie can fill it again, or reading a great book.
Where can you see yourself in 5 years time?
Hopefully, I'll still be doing this, only a bit more successfully, with a decent-sized back catalogue and money to spend on better covers and going to conventions.
What is your favourite quote?
"If breathing weren't a reflex, that boy would be dead." – One of my distant female relatives
How long on average does it take you to write a book?
About a month. My first book, I gave myself three months, starting in July. It was kind of Lovecraft-related, so I watched a documentary on him and found out that his birthday was August 20th. I thought, wouldn't it be cool to get it out on his birthday? So rather than releasing in July, I decided to release in August. The second book I wrote (it's only a novelette though) I finished over a weekend and then took a few days to edit. Right now, I'm scheduling about a month per book, give or take. I'm hoping to have nine out by this time next year.

The Japanese language uses some 5,000 kanji, all originally Chinese characters with the exception of a few created specifically for Japanese. Reading an average newspaper or magazine requires an understanding of about 1,945 of them. Students of Japanese master the kanji characters in stages over the course of nine years of education. In comparison, the effort required of adults learning Japanese is much more intense. It is for these adult students that this guide was designed. Two indexes, organized by number of pen strokes and by readings, make this text easy to consult.

We saw Crazy Rich Asians a week before its official opening because we're, well, crazy like that. So this is our hot take in Crazy Rich Asians, before it's #GoldOpen 35 million dollar opening weekend. This is part one of two, since there's so much to cover, from hot abs to why #representationmatters.
Emily Yoshida's Vulture Review
Almost ten years have passed since The Cove was released; the documentary about Japanese fishermen hunting dolphins and small whales became a international phenomenon. The Cove created a one-sided narrative. Japanese filmmaker Megumi Sasaki saw this disparity in narratives and decided to embark on her own documentary A Whale Of A Tale. Her film is a counter-narrative to that of The Cove. Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1960505270/a-whale-of-a-tale-a-documentary-film
We are one week away from the premiere of Crazy Rich Asians! Writer/content creator Nathan Ramos (Club Mickey Mouse) guested this week to talk to about Crazy Rich Asians and all the controversies surrounding it from Henry Golding to the "Asian Black Panther."

You say that you are broken and lost?
You say that you have nothing left in cost?
You say that no one understands you?
That no one can comprehend your view?
Well, listen to me if you will please,
A moment that might put you at ease.
With pain and despair that burns inside
Living each day with a sighed,
I truly understand your reason
Why you feel like you live in treason.
I, too, had feel like you today
For many of my days were too, grey.
But know that the world will not change
For we are always, in its eyes, strange.
But despite our very own ignorance,
We can still always find tolerance.
Like the sun that shines through the dark rain,
You will make it through without a strain.
The pain is only for a moment,
For time will never become frozen.
The ache in your chest is temporary,
Giving you strength and honorary.
You will make it through these cold, dark days.
I know very well your heart will blaze.
The end is near right before your eyes.
I know, for you, there's a waiting prize.
Once the pain is all over and gone,
Soon you will smile without a yawn.
Why do I know, you may wonder so?
Because I understand your sad woes.
I know because I have been there too.
And I'm on the edge of making it through.

What would be a more appropriate way to celebrate than with a cup or cone of some better-for-you ice cream?! These days there are numerous options that you can buy in the freezer aisle at your local supermarket or make yourself at home.
Many of the lower calorie ice creams you'll find at the grocery store are made with non-fat milk instead of cream and sugar alcohols and no- and low-calorie sweeteners like sucralose instead of cane sugar. These ingredient substitutions reduce the calories, fat and sugar – but not the flavor – leaving you with options that range from 60 to 150 calories per half-cup scoop of ice cream. Compare that to the 240 calories in an average half-cup serving of regular ice cream and it's clear why these products are lining freezer shelves and gaining in popularity.
While you can easily go out to the store to buy a pint of your favorite flavor or a box of low-calorie, low-sugar ice cream bars, you can also make your own at home. Making homemade ice cream is fun and also allows you to control the ingredients you use, leaving you with endless flavor possibilities.
Nice cream is a popular option because you simply make it by blending frozen bananas. Want to jazz it up? Add other ingredients like chocolate, fruit, nuts and nut butter, or herbs like mint. Some delicious combos to try: Peanut butter swirl, mint chocolate chip, cherry chocolate and mango.
Making ice cream at home also allows you to boost healthy nutrients like protein. Using Greek yogurt as a base for ice cream is a great way to do this. Adding fruit plus a no- or low-calorie sweetener will add the sweetness you enjoy.
You can also make homemade ice cream to suit any dietary preferences or needs like vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free. Coconut milk, soy milk and almond milk are popular bases for dairy-free and vegan ice creams, but you can also mix things up by using raw soaked cashews and avocados.
Want to try your hand at some of the homemade options to celebrate National Ice Cream Month? Here are some recipes to try:

Greetings! Is it hot enough for you yet? Looks like we skipped real spring weather this year.
This week, I wanted to cover one of my favorite spices – fenugreek, but thought that I would take you to the wonderful Irvington kitchens of Chef Navjot Arora, to talk about his culinary style as well as fenugreek. Navjot Arora, Executive Chef andv co-owner of Chutney Masala Indian Bistro, grew up in Jalandhar Punjab, India, and graduated from one of the country's most prestigious culinary schools, the Institute of Hotel Management in New Delhi.
. In 2008, Navjot realized his dream of having his own restaurant when he opened Chutney Masala Indian Bistro to critical acclaim in Irvington, NY
I asked him some questions to help us understand his cooking style and how he uses and balances spices in his cooking.
Tell me a little bit about yourself and your cooking style?
I have been a chef for over 20 years. I love to cook, eat and share good food with friends, having a restaurant lets me do all that. I take every opportunity to spread awareness about healthy Indian food, demystifying curry and breaking a lot of myths associated with Indian food.
My cooking style is all about keeping it simple and staying true to your roots.
How do you use spices in your cooking?
The use of spices is all about maintaining a balance and ensuring that spices do not overpower the main ingredients of a dish. That isv why when cooking vegetable dishes I do not use garam masala or any other heavy spice or spice blend, only light spices that just complement and enhance the flavors of the main ingredients.
Do you have a favorite spice or spice blend?
I think Fenugreek is on top of my list.
Fenugreek has three culinary uses: as a herb (dried or fresh leaves), as a spice (seeds), and as a vegetable (fresh leaves, sprouts, and micro greens).The distinctive cuboid-shaped, yellow-to-amber colored fenugreek seeds are frequently are used in the preparation of pickles, vegetable dishes, daals, and spice mixes, such as panch phoron and sambar powder. Fenugreek is also used as a vegetable. Fresh fenugreek leaves are an
ingredient in some Indian curries. The sprouted seeds and micro greens are used in salads and are an excellent way
for diabetic patients to keep their blood sugar level in control
What are some of your tips about working with spices?
Learning about the spices along with their properties can help achieve the perfect harmonious balance in any dish. Use restraint while using spices till you find the right balance. For example fenugreek seeds need to be tempered to bring out its flavor and remove the bitterness. If the right method is used a little bit can go a long way.
A wonderful recipe from Navjot's kitchen showcasing the use of spices is Ambi Jheenga or Indian Mango Shrimp.
2 pounds jumbo shrimp
Marinade for Shrimp
1 teaspoon dried fenugreek leaves (Kasuri Methi)
1 teaspoon ginger garlic paste
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garam masala
Juice of ½ lemon
Ingredients for the Sauce
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 cups chopped onions
1 teaspoon ginger garlic paste
1 cup chopped tomatoes
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon turmeric
¼ teaspoon red chili powder
11/2 teaspoon coriander powder
¼ garam masala powder
½ teaspoon mango chutney paste
Method of Preparation
1. Shell and devein shrimps, combine ingredients 11 to 15 apply to the shrimps and
refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
2. For the sauce saute the chopped onions, till they are translucent (about 5 minutes).
3. Add ginger garlic paste and sauté for a couple of minutes.
4. Add the tomatoes and the ingredients 5 to 10 continue to stir on medium heat till tomatoes become limp and the spices blend in.
5. Add the mango chutney paste, turn off the heat and keep this sauce aside(it should be almost like a chunky salsa in consistency)
6. Sauté the shrimps in a pre heated skillet till they change color, add the sauce and mix well while continuing to sauté on high heat for another minute.
7. Serve over rice

New Developments in the Miramonte Scandal
In case you are following the Miramonte/Berndt case as closely as we are, here are a few updates from the past week. All headlines, articles, and quotes are from the Los Angeles Times.
- Officials examining 1980s case alleging abuse by Miramonte teacher – "Sources familiar with the investigation stressed that the case is not related to the arrests last week of two Miramonte teachers charged with lewd acts against students. Officials are looking at the old incident to get a better understanding of the culture and history of complaints at the school."
- Union accepts district assurance that teachers can return to Miramonte – "The Los Angeles teachers union has backed off from its claim that teachers transferred from Miramonte Elementary School won't be allowed to return upon completion of an investigation into alleged child abuse."
- Teacher in Miramonte scandal was paid $40,000 to end fight over firing – "The payout consisted of four months of back salary plus reimbursement for the cost of health benefits. Berndt was fired by the Board of Education in February 2011 after officials learned that the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department was investigating him for alleged lewd acts against students."
- L.A. teacher accused of abuse released from jail – "A judge on Tuesday set bond at $300,000 and directed that [Martin] Springer wear the monitor on his ankle. He must also stay 100 yards from the alleged victim and witnesses, and 250 feet from schools and parks, and may not be in the company of minors without a supervising adult."
- New Miramonte principal wants to help school return to normalcy – "I really want to help the school get back into a semblance of normalcy," said new Principal Dolores Palacio, who came out of retirement to head Miramonte. "There are teachers here who are anxious to be here. We know what we are here for. We know it's about the children and the parents and it's not about us."
- Attorney calls for protection of parents in school abuse case – "The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles asked for the sheriff to assure the parents that their immigration status will not be affected if they go to authorities with claims of abuse. "Families are not speaking up because they are scared of being deported," attorney Jessica Dominguez said at a news conference Thursday morning."
