SA artist making waves in Sweden
by Stella Sigcau
20 March 2019
Sisanda Nilsson who is making waves in Sweden has made a name for herself as a songwriter and performing artist, building a career on a global scale. She has performed in some of South Africa's and Europe's biggest events such as the Ugu Jazz Festival, Durban Jazz Festival, Frizon, Storsjoran, MylthSylth, KlusFestivalen and many more. Her hit single, "If this is love" won Swedish competition called p4Nasta in Jamtland province in 2017.
She has worked with both local and international well known producers like Markus Gorasson, Johan Arveli and Mondli Ngcobo. In 2018 she embarked on a successful tour with her band in Sweden and released her first acoustic album. In celebrating Africa day she'll be joining other well known artists including Daniel Ess, Tobbe P Danjelisa Kojo perfoming on 29 May 2019 during the Vikings Island Roots Reggae Festival in Storsjoteatern, Sweden.
In June 2019 she'll be recording her next album in South Africa. She is currently shooting a documentary in Sweden where she is currently living with her husband and son which will be featured on Netflix and Swedish television stations.
A Princess by birth from the Faku clan, Sisanda Nilsson was born in the Eastern Cape in Mfundisweni, Flagstaff (ESiphaqeni). Singing has always been part of her roots and upbringing as she came from a family that loved to sing including her grandmother who is her inspiration. Her music career officially kicked off when she entered, "The championships of the performing arts competition" which took her to Los Angeles to represent South Africa. She put her music on hold to pursue her studies. On completion of her studies, Sisanda Nilsson ventured into the world of volunteer work and traveled Africa until she decided to take up her singing and songwriting career in 2011.
In 2015 she released her first hit song indlela yam with Touch Africa Records. Her hit singles "Indlela yam, if this is love, intombi yosapho and Gone crazy" are currently on high rotation both in South Africa and Sweden. As a philanthropist who is committed to ploughing back through empowering youth both in South Africa and Sweden, she established a nonprofit organisation called Life Runners.
She is currently working on launching an International Festival called IIngcambu Zomculo later on in the year in Flagstaff her home town bringing along international artists to perform and share her culture whilst contributing to community development and South Africa broader heritage.
As a young culture ambassador who has made her mark as a songstress and songwriter, a philanthropist who is flying South African flag high making waves abroad, she has been nominated for the Princess Stella Sigcau II Award which will be handed over during the annual Mpondo Culture and Heritage Festival taking place every third weekend of September in Ntabankulu, Eastern Cape, South Africa.

Overlander, I owe you an apology...
I got the compressor mounted and wired but it didnt work. After some time troubleshooting I put a volt/Ohm
meter directly to the compressor leads and it read as open... no resistance. I started calling you some choice names thinking you sold me a burnt out compressor.
After some cussing I removed It from the Jeep and jumped the leads straight to the battery... nothing.
I decided to disassemble the motor and found this
Brand new motor and brushes but one of the brushes was latched away from the stator, not sure if they missed it at the factory or what but was a simple fix.
Anyways sorry for calling you a dirty MF, and youre welcome for saving you the same headache if you would have tried to run it.

Nagpur (Maharashtra), Jan 22 (IANS): Raising great expectations ahead of the Union Budget, a 31-member parliamentary panel will visit Maharashtra from Thursday for two days to study the farmers' issues, official sources said here on Wednesday.
It will be led by Parvatagouda C. Gaddigoudar, Chairperson, Standing Committee on Agriculture, and comprise 10 Rajya Sabha MPs and 21 Lok Sabha MPs.
As per available details, the MPs are likely to be put up at the five-star Radisson Blu Hotel in Nagpur where they will conduct meetings with various stakeholders and farming experts.
In the past, even visiting Presidents, Prime Ministers, Central ministers or top officials avoided conducting meetings pertaining to farmers from five-star hotels, but preferred other convenient and low-profile venues in the city which is Maharashtra's second capital, said sources.
The move has raised eyebrows in political circles, coming days after several top leaders in the Bharatiya Janata Party and government have advised MPs from avoiding "five-star" comforts and be closer to the people.
Since 2019, the government has even stopped the practice of accommodating newly-elected MPs in starred hotels while they waited to be allotted their official quarters in New Delhi.
Since the stay could range from a fortnight to a quarter (3 months), it imposed a huge financial burden on the government, but now the newly-elected lawmakers must either live at their respective state guest houses or the Western Court.
Though some farmers have been invited for tomorrow's meeting, the panel will tour around certain high-level government-run institutions such as Indian Council for Agriculture Research, Central Institute of Cotton Research, National Citrus Institute, National Bureau of Soil Survey and Land Use Planning and others in the region and discuss agro-related issues with their heads and experts.
However, several of the Shiv Sena MPs on the panel are likely to skip the programmes as they will be busy with the 94th birth anniversary celebrations of the party's founder, the late Bal Thackeray in Mumbai.
When contacted, Vasantrao Naik Sheti Swavlamban Mission (VNSSM) President Kishore Tiwari -- one of the experts invited by the MPs panel -- said the time for all "study trips" is over and now it is time for "real ground action" to mitigate the sufferings of the farmers in the state and country.
"We have already sent a memorandum to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to tackle the farmland distress on top priority and allocate Rs 3 lakh crore under a 'Special National Agrarian Bailout Package' in the Union Budget 2020-2021, similar to the aid granted to banking, power, automobiles and FMCG sectors," Tiwari told IANS.
He has also urged the Central government to immediately set up a 'National Farmers' Rights Commission' on the lines of National Human Rights Commission followed by State Human Rights Commissions.
"These two measures alone, if implemented by the government, can end the scourge of farmers' suicides in the country between three-to-five years. Besides the Indian agriculture sector will take great strides and become world-class with the infusion of new technology in all aspects," Tiwari added.
Though government and hotel officials remained tight-lipped on the itinerary of the MP's panel, hectic preparations are currently underway to make their trip comfortable and fruitful.
The Maharashtra MPs on the panel include: Amol R. Kolhe, (Mrs) Navneet R. Rana, Vinayak B. Raut and Narayan Rane.
Besides, other prominent names from other parts of the country are Vaiko, Chandrapal Singh Yadav, R. Vaithilingam, Muhammad Sadiq, Sardar Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa, Partap Singh Bajwa, Mulayam Singh Yadav, Ram Kirpal Yadav, Virendra Singh, Mohan Mandavi, Afzal Ansari, etc.

UK general election: light at the end of the tunnel?
The 8 June snap election in the UK resulted in a hung parliament, with no single party gaining an absolute majority. For markets, this was the bleakest and least expected outcome. It heralds a period of political instability, just when the countdown to Brexit is commencing. Sterling suffered in the immediate aftermath, dropping as much as 2.5% against the dollar in trading on 9 June. Prime Minister Theresa May had called the early election with the specific aim of bolstering her parliamentary majority. At the time, opinion polls were suggesting that her Conservative party would win an overwhelming victory and could add at least a hundred seats to her existing majority. May's plan for a "hard-but-smooth" Brexit – quitting the single market and the customs union then transitioning to a tailored free-trade agreement – would arguably have had a greater chance of succeeding because it was less likely to be thwarted by the opposition or the extreme Eurosceptic wing of her own party. Even though the polls of voting intentions showed that the Conservatives' lead over Labour was narrowing in the run-up to the election, most pollsters (with the exception of YouGov) were still predicting a win and a bigger majority for May on the eve of the voting.
In the end, the Conservatives did win, taking 42.4% of the vote versus 40% for Labour, but they forfeited their majority in parliament, losing 13 seats compared with the 2015 election. They took 318 seats, eight short of the number needed for an outright majority. The reasons for the defeat include a lacklustre campaign by May, refusal of her ideas on the terms ofBrexit, and her U-turn on the proposed reform of the social care funding system, which undermined her image as a leader. The situation was compounded by two terror attacks, for which she was held partly responsible for having cut thousands of police jobs when serving as Home Secretary in the previous government. By contrast, Labour was buoyed by the surprisingly successful campaign of its leader, Jeremy Corbyn. The party raised its 2015 election tally by 30 seats on Corbyn's proposals to boost public investment, raise taxes for the wealthy and scrap university enrolment fees, as well as plans to nationalise utilities and transform the social security system. The high turnout rate of 68.7%, up 2.6 points on 2015 thanks to the mobilisation of young voters, vindicated Corbyn's policy choices. Labour now has 262 MPs in the House of Commons. The Liberal Democrats made a slight gain of four seats and ended up with a total of 12 MPs. The Scottish National Party lost 21 seats as the Conservative vote surged.
What happens now? The Conservatives are striving to remain in power by forging an alliance with the Democratic Unionist Party of Northern Ireland, which has ten seats at Westminster. Both parties are on the centre-right and the DUP is an ardent Brexit supporter (even though Northern Ireland voted to remain in the EU). Nonetheless, under pressure from both her own party and the opposition, Theresa May could be forced to step down. If the Conservatives fail to form a government, it will be up to Labour to try and put together a coalition of parties on the left: the LibDems, the SNP and the Greens. That will be a tough task, thus increasing the likelihood of a fresh election.
The general election outcome has led to a sharp increase in political uncertainty, both at home and abroad. No scenario is off the cards. In the short term, May's botched campaign has seriously weakened her premiership and she will very probably be forced to resign in the coming months. Media reports suggest her likely successor would be either Boris Johnson, the foreign secretary and a hard-Brexit supporter, or Philip Hammond, the finance minister, who campaigned to remain in the EU and now supports a soft Brexit. These alternatives illustrate the binary nature of the future scenarios. A fresh general election cannot be ruled out; neither can the possibly of a second referendum. The resulting uncertainty will weigh on the economic outlook going forward, and it will very probably prompt us to lower our forecasts for the UK for this year and the next. The unsettled political environment is highly unconducive to investment. Moreover, a further decline in the value of sterling will produce a steeper than expected fall in real household incomes and hurt consumption, while the effect on net exports will not be enough to prevent a sharp economic slowdown.
As far as Brexit is concerned, the coming days and weeks will be vital for assessing any changes the government might make to its strategy. One certainty, however, is that the election result shows – at least to some extent – that the British people have spurned Theresa May's Brexit plan. Britons want to leave the EU but they don't want a hard Brexit. The business community is broadly critical of the prime minister's plan to leave the single market and the customs union, as well as her harsh, anti-liberal stance on immigration, with a proposed cap of 100,000 net immigrants annually. In consequence, the government will have to rework its plan in favour of a softer Brexit, one that would be more acceptable to businesses and probably mean remaining in the single market and the customs union.
That reorientation is particularly necessary because a minority government, or a coalition with a slim majority, is inherently unstable and could be blocked by the opposition when voting on important issues. Significantly, all the left-wing parties – Labour, the LibDems, the SNP, the Greens and Plaid Cymru – are categorically opposed to Theresa May's hard-Brexit plan. The arithmetic of the Conservative's own parliamentary seats will also play a key part in determining future events: will it be the pro-EU ranks, backed by Scottish Conservatives, that take the lead in negotiating with the EU-27? Or will it be the extreme Eurosceptic wing of the party, which wants to leave without an agreement? The Tory-DUP alliance nevertheless raises hopes of a soft Brexit because of the issue of Northern Ireland's border with the Irish Republic.
The task facing Mrs May – or possibly her successor – is a doubly complicated one: if Brexit is seen as too soft, her own party might defy her, whereas a hard Brexit is likely to be blocked by the opposition. Major disagreements within the Conservative party and in Westminster, as well as the absence of a clear roadmap, could waste valuable time in an already-tight schedule and, come 29 March 2019, could leave the UK without a free-trade agreement with the EU, its biggest trading partner. As a result, there is a greater likelihood that one of two extreme scenarios would prevail: on the one hand, a soft Brexit (the so-called Norway model); on the other hand, no agreement (hence the World Trade Organization rules would apply). So where does the happy medium lie? If no agreement is reached, it would be very costly for the UK and the economies most exposed to it. A "bare bones" agreement would have to be reached – probably at the eleventh hour – in order to avoid a bumpy exit, with a default solution consisting of membership of the European Economic Area.

The covers for this series look fantastic. I will have to find out if the book is as good as good as it looks!
Mage Strike, by R. K. Thorne.
The hard part should have been over. Former slave Miara and Crown Prince Aven have escaped with their freedom and their lives. From kidnapper and captive, they've grown into a powerful partnership. And they've returned to the mountain fortress of Estun, triumphant, to warn his people of the rising menace just across their border.
But escape was only the first step. War looms. Hundreds of mages still live in slavery. Neither the king nor the queen believes the people will support a foreign spy as crown princess, no matter how loyal Miara truly is. And enemy agents plot to keep Aven from the throne by any means necessary, be they mundane—or murderous.
On top of it all, the Dark Master has plans of his own: to enslave a vast mage army bound to his will alone. To obliterate all knowledge of the forbidden star magic, no matter the cost. And to get a little revenge too, while he's at it.
Powerful new enemies, tenacious new allies, and earth-shaking magic join Aven and Miara in this second volume of the Enslaved Chronicles.

Many students, staff, and faculty members bring pre-made meals to campus that require reheating, as well as carrying refillable water bottles. Home-cooked meals and tap water can be the most affordable, healthful, and environmentally-friendly options for eating while on campus. Accessible microwaves and refill stations (fountains that dispense filtered water) can therefore increase campus food equity. While staff, faculty, and graduate students are more likely to have access to departmental or research lab microwaves, undergraduate students are more dependent on publicly-available ones, of which there are only 16 on campus. There are approximately 100 water refill stations. Microwaves and refill stations are not equally distributed across campus, and many students do not know where they are located. Additionally, wealthier schools such as the Haas School of Business have far more sophisticated refill stations than less-resourced units. Currently there are not publicly available refrigerators for student use.
Microwaves and Water Refill Stations
On-Campus Microwaves
Have you used campus microwaves before?
Would you use them if they were more accessible?
16 total microwaves
Microwaves tend to be centered near Southside and Sather Lane, with several in Golden Bear Cafe and around MLK. A few can also be found in Soda Hall on North Campus.See Full Map
On-Campus Refill Stations
Several types of refill stations are found on campus, including:
Out of the 98 total refill stations, what is the frequency of each type?
98 total refill stations
Refill stations are spread across campus with concentrations in Northeast regions while a shortage in Southwest campus.See Full Map
Policy Recommendations
Provide comparable microwaves and water refill stations across campus, filling gaps particularly in the Colleges of Natural Resources, Chemistry, and Environmental Design, as well as Berkeley Law, and high traffic areas in Letters and Sciences buildings such as Barrows and Wheeler Halls.
Share printable handout of microwave and water refill station locations from the Foodscape Map at new student orientations, advising offices, and Basic Needs Service Units. As food hubs become operable, add them to the map.
Provide better signage for microwaves and refill stations to ensure building users are aware of locations.
Ensure that microwaves are supplied with adequate cleaning supplies to reinforce positive food safety skills; ensure adequate staffing support to so that microwaves can be cleaned nightly.
Retrofit existing buildings with electric bottle filler/drinking fountain-style refill stations. Ensure all new buildings follow guidelines for water refill stations, per UC Berkeley Real Estate Campus Design Standards. Utilize the resources provided by the I Heart Tap Water Campaign to learn about and address needs of building/departmental occupants.
Use lessons learned from current piloting of food hubs to expand into locations where students already congregate, and where student advisors or other staff can supervise cleaning and maintenance. Encourage schools/departments to financially support the installation and long-term maintenance of these hubs; provide additional funding to offset set-up costs if departments are only able to fund long-term maintenance costs.

Campus Kitchen Hubs
Efforts are underway to create decentralized food preparation hubs in high traffic student areas around campus. The Basic Needs Committee is collaborating with the Associated Students of the University of California (ASUC), the Student Advocate's Office, and the Graduate Assembly to implement food preparation stations funded through State Senate Bill 85 (SB85), which supports food security efforts in higher education. These stations would include a public refrigerator, microwave, and table for food preparation (ie. making a salad or sandwich). In some cases, these will be expanded to include a "satellite pantry" with free nonperishable items, produce, and prepared food for food insecure students. These locations will also be connected in the emerging campus-wide food recovery program to facilitate the safe recovery of edible food left-over from department events.
The intention with these stations is to increase food infrastructure across campus that can facilitate the ability of campus community members to bring prepared food to campus or to prepare simple meals on site. By adding recovered food and pantry items, these hubs aim to increase the accessibility of food insecurity resources to students by locating services in locations that students already frequent. The Basic Needs Committee is exploring multiple options for long-term maintenance, cleaning, and supervision of the hubs that include departmental commitment to financially sponsor food purchasing, dedicated paid student staff, and committed student advisor staff time. Dedicated student advisors and student staff would be trained in food safety and responsible for cleaning the hubs, ensuring that food safety protocols are maintained, and coordinating with the Basic Needs food recovery program and food pantry for sourcing.

Camping is a great way to bring the family together. It offers an opportunity to teach yourself and others about the wonders of nature. Exploring nature can be very rewarding. For a trip you will remember for many years to come, take advantage of the great tips below.
Take the tent into your yard and set it up before you go on your camping trip. That way, you will know that the tent is complete and will understand the assembly process. This can eliminate the frustration of trying to set up your tent in a hurry.
Make sure that you both carry a survival kit and then get in the habit of always having it with you. A first aid kit, matches in a water tight container, a good knife, flares and tablet to purify water are some essentials to include. For any life threatening situation, these items may be the only thing standing between you and disaster. Keep your kit with you at all times; don't leave it at the campsite.
The way you prepare will determine whether your camping trip will be fun or if it will be dangerous. Be sure you're always prepared before you go camping. If you are camping somewhere new, research the area to familiarize yourself with the climate, wildlife and other factors.
It is vital that you take a first-aid kit with you anytime that you go camping. Though your location can contribute to necessities in the kit, the basics will remain the same. Antivenom is another important component to bring with you, depending on the area where you visit.
Pack the duct tape. Duct tape is good for so many things. It has several uses like fixing a hole in a tent and holding moisture.
If you are new to camping, you should camp near your home. You may find that your gear isn't up to par, or your trip isn't what you thought it would be. You might find that you do not have enough clothes or food. Many things can arise for the first-time camper, so camp close to home the first time.
When it comes to camping, it is important to be prepared. While it's crucial to plan ahead for things, sometimes things don't go according to plan. The weather could turn sour, injuries could occur or other unforeseen events may happen. The more time you spend preparing for the unforeseen, the better off you will be when it comes to dealing with an emergency later on.
Before leaving for your trip, write a list of what you need to bring along. This is especially important if you must travel a while to get to the campgrounds. Pack a day or two before going camping, and check off things on your list as you go along.
Use the information shared in this article to have a great time on your next trip. You may have an existing body of knowledge on the subject of camping, but it is always a good idea to learn more. You have made a wise choice by reading up on some sound camping advice!

Natalie and Michael were brave enough to go their own way when planning their delightful nuptials, even when some of their loved ones weren't on-board with their ideas. But on the day they won them over and everyone had a right roaring time. Proof that sticking to your gut when wedding planning usually works out just perfectly.
The couple tied the knot on the 2nd July 2016 at Sugar Loaf Barn in Wales. The barn is set in the most idyllic rolling countryside with a rustic and quaint interior which was perfect for their relaxed and chilled vision. They decorated it beautifully with drapes, hay bales, hessian and cool stationery, all in a white and green palette. There were hand made paper flowers adorning the walls too, which made such a visual statement. The blooms were just out of this world, oodles of greenery and foliage were used everywhere and the peony bridal bouquet? Well hearts for eyes!
Natalie's tiered lace gown is by Martina Liana and didn't she look stunning in it? Michael went for a classic navy suit and tan shoe combo, while their bridesmaids wore white and sparkly frocks. Such an elegant and stylish wedding party.
Many thanks to Eleanor Jane Weddings for providing the glorious photographs.
THE PROPOSAL | On a visit to see Mike's parents in Jersey. He said we were going to beach but put on a shirt. I found that quite strange! He took me to a pretty bench on a hill between 2 beautiful beaches, the view was gorgeous… And went down on one knee.
THE VISION | We found it very daunting that we were going to be centre of attention all day, so we wanted something very relaxed and chilled!
THE PLANNING PROCESS | We had moved to Jersey just after we got engaged from Wales. At first, we really wanted to get married in Italy, but soon realised not everyone could afford to come and we wanted everyone we loved at the wedding. As we had moved to Jersey we decided to have it in my home country Wales! We love the Welsh hills and went on many walks up the Sugar Loaf mountain with our dog Zack.
I was obsessed with Pinterest and going to lots of wedding fairs for ideas. I soon realised that we couldn't afford to do everything I seen on Pinterest or even had the time! (we still had 18 months to plan). You just don't realise how long it takes!
THE VENUE | I loved the idea of a rustic barn and loved the idea of a barn dance and being outside in the beautiful Welsh hills. I searched online for barn weddings in Wales and found Sugar Loaf Barn! My bridesmaid Sian and I went to view the barn and the sheep had just moved out of it. It was quite hard to envisage how a wedding could even be held there! But Will who showed us around the venue was so enthusiastic and made me see the potential. We could do anything we liked to the barn in the way of décor and it came with the most beautiful tables and huge wooden doors. I could just see ourselves in the huge doorway looking out onto the hills saying our vows.
THE DRESS & ACCESSORIES | Martina Liana at Laura May Bridal.
FINDING THE DRESS | I visited probably around 7 bridal shops and found it difficult to find the dress I loved. I had a flowy number in mind and went for something completely different!
GROOM'S ATTIRE | Mike really wanted a check suit, we visited his friends shop in Jersey and he loved the first one he tried on! So easy! Although we did have rows about the tie choice.
THE READINGS & MUSIC | We didn't have any readings but our good friend Mat sang me down the aisle acoustically with a guitar to James Bay 'Hold Back the River' then back out to The Wannabies 'You and Me'. While we were signing the register, we had our niece and brother do a violin duet.
BEAUTIFUL BRIDESMAIDS | I had my sister as maid of honour, my 3 best friends as bridesmaids and my god daughter and niece as flower girls. Their dresses were from ASOS and the flower girls from Monsoon. They were so easy going and I let them pick their shoes and hair styles. I like the mismatch style, so it went perfectly.
THE FLOWERS | The flowers were important for me as I think they make a room! I wanted a natural all green and white theme. I found The Flower Hive and she just knew what I wanted! She came up with some great ideas and grows most of her own flowers.
THE CAKE | I wanted something that looked tasty! My auntie advised me that a lady she worked with made delicious cakes… Although she had not made a wedding cake before. I wanted a naked cake with lots of fruit as decoration. Very simple and rustic which fitted the theme nicely.
YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER | I went to college with Eleanor Jane Photography, we both studied photography together and always loved her bright and colourful but elegant wedding photo style. I just had to have her as our photographer! She made us feel very at ease and we had lots of giggles.
THE DETAILS & DÉCOR | I had seen on Pinterest some gorgeous huge paper flowers. As the barn was so big I needed a lot of fillers. I searched online for these and found them expensive and couldn't afford them seeing as I would need so many. I sent an image to my grandmother who immediately went out and bought some lining wall paper and started making some. Before I knew it, she made around 50! They looked so fabulous and lots of guests took them away to out in their homes.
Our name settings were Jersey Oyster Shells. Free from the local fishmonger, although they took quite some scrubbing to get them sparkly.
THE HONEYMOON | We just had to do America! We wanted variation. We started off in LA then Las Vegas, Death Valley, Yosemite National Park, San Francisco then drove the coast road back to LA all in a mustang! Had to be done.
MEMORABLE MOMENTS | The delicious food from Purple Carrot Catering. All our family friends meeting each other, getting on great and dancing the night away! Our band (Soul Lotta Funk) were incredible, I had a fear that no one would dance, but the dance floor was never empty.
ADVICE FOR OTHER COUPLES | Do what you want and don't conform to what you think your family or friends would want. Lots of family didn't like the idea of our wedding being in a barn, sitting on hay bails or riding a tractor to the venue, but everyone loved it when they were there!

Stoke-On-Trent cricketer Danielle Wyatt made a resilient half century as England's women lost The Ashes, falling to a six-wicket defeat in the first T20 international at Sydney.
The 26-year-old hit six fours in her 36 ball knock, which was the first time she'd gone beyond 50 in international cricket.
It was her first game of the tour, having been overlooked for both the ODI and Test series earlier in the tour.
England had earlier lost the toss and found themselves severely under the cosh at 16-4, before Wyatt and her teammate Nat Sciver came together. The two eventually combined for a strong partnership of 64 to bring the tourists back into the contest.
Despite Sciver falling in the 13th over, Wyatt continued in her charge and brought up her landmark off the bowling of Ashleigh Gardner in the 16th.
She would fail to add to her score, however, and some smart work behind the wickets from Gardner saw her run out, leaving England 101-6.
They went on to add another 31 runs before the close of the innings – leaving Australia needing 133 to win from their 20 overs.
Wyatt's action in the game wasn't finished, though. She took a smart catch at deep square leg in the first over to send Alyssa Healy back to the pavilion.
The hosts lost another three wickets before the end, but would bring up their target with more than four overs to spare in the game.
Wyatt will be hoping to get have a similar impact when the two sides next meet on Sunday. The second T20 game is due to start at 14:35 local time (03:35 GBT).

The Jesus Bible – Book Review
If you'd like to learn more about Jesus, The Jesus Bible is the first Bible that focuses exclusively on helping readers encounter Jesus in every book of the Bible.
The Jesus Bible was created by the Passion Movement and features exclusive articles from some of the most trusted leaders in Christianity today: Louie Giglio, Max Lucado, John Piper, Ravi Zacharias and Randy Alcorn.
The grey, fabric hardcover Bible that I reviewed is suitable for gift-giving and filled with features that Bible students of all levels will appreciate:
- Bible Introduction by Louie Giglio
- 66 Book Introductions that Highlight Jesus in Every Book
- 7 Essays on the Grand Narrative of Scripture
- Over 300 Full-Page Articles and Nearly 700 Sidebar Articles that Reveal Jesus throughout Scripture
- Single-Column Text of the New International Version (NIV) Translation
- NIV Dictionary-Concordance
- Ribbon marker
What I like most about The Jesus Bible is that it's designed with plenty of room for note-taking, Bible journaling, and illustrating your faith!
One unusual feature in this Bible is that the font size for the study notes and articles are larger than the font of the Bible text itself. While I appreciated being able to read the supplemental material with ease, somehow it seemed wrong to have to pull out my reading glasses to see what the Word of God itself said! If you have trouble reading smaller fonts, you should be aware of this before you invest in this Bible.
Fonts aside, however, it's hard to find a Study Bible that provides room for note-taking or Bible journaling. If you are looking for this unique combination, or are interested in learning more about our Savior, then The Jesus Bible is for you!
I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

Leading Off
Bus Wreck
Driving toward a clinching touchdown with 1:20 to play in an AFC divisional playoff on Sunday, Steelers running back Jerome (the Bus) Bettis (36) instead fumbled on a direct hit by Colts linebacker Gary Brackett. Indianapolis picked up the ball, setting off a wild chain of events (page 40) that culminated in a badly missed 46-yard field goal by Mike Vanderjagt (inset) as underdog Pittsburgh held on for a 21-18 win at the RCA Dome.
No Standing Pat
After Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey (24) intercepted a Tom Brady pass in the end zone, Patriots tight end Ben Watson (far right) went full-bore, corner to opposite corner, running down Bailey at the one-yard line (inset). Watson's heroic hustle on the 100-yard return couldn't prevent New England from bowing 27-13 in the AFC divisional playoff last Saturday in Denver (page 42).
Backup Burner
Reserve running back Maurice Morris torched the Redskins' defense for 49 yards rushing in the Seahawks' 20-10 NFC divisional playoff victory last Saturday in Seattle (page 44). Morris took over for NFL MVP Shaun Alexander (inset, celebrating with quarterback Matt Hasselbeck), who suffered a first-quarter concussion.

Calculate Your Key Number
To find out what this month has in store for you, calculate your key number by adding the day and month of your birth. Continue adding until you arrive at a single digit. For example, if your birthday is October 14, your personal number is determined as follows: 10 + 14 = 24. Then 2 + 4 = 6, and you have the key number (6) that you will keep for life.
Key Number 1
This is a testy month. Many little problems to be solved. At the same time, you have a real opportunity to rise to the challenge of creating order in all aspects of your life. Real work, real discipline. No colouring outside the lines under this cycle month's energy. Problems arise when discipline fails.
Key Number 2
Order and stability ruled last month, rebellion and restlessness are the vibration of this cycle month energy. Explore new ideas and landscapes. Plan opportunities to express radical ideas, and experiment with aspects of life that are uncharted.
You will need a break. Whether it is fun in the sun, or a few mental health days in your own neighbourhood, be sure to give yourself time outside the usual routine.
Key Number 3
In this cycle month you will be very effective being of service to others. You may find yourself wondering who volunteered you, but in most cases it will have been you, yourself. There are times when you can't help but help others. This is one of those cycles.
Domesticity is also important. Spruce up your environment, bake a cake, join neighbourhood watch, help a handsome young man across the street.
Key Number 4
Find a hiding place. This is not a social month for most people experiencing this cycle month energy. It can be an identity crisis, but it's mostly about taking time out to think things through. This is best done in your own vibration, away from the madding crowd. This is a perfect opportunity to read, teach, take a course or upgrade your skills. It's also a time when there may be some lovely, spooky synchronicities. Watch for meaningful coincidences!
Key Number 5
In this cycle month, energy, business and finances are going to take center stage. You find yourself feeling very businesslike. Be careful not to be heartless, but do be practical. Your professional reputation will come to the forefront, and you should be rewarded for hard work done over the last few months.
Remember to be compassionate with someone who is not on the same wavelength. Let your vulnerable side show as well.
Key Number 6
This is an emotional month. A bit confusing at times, because it is the end of a minor cycle. It will be important for you to let go of some things in your life that are no longer of service to you. This can include friendships and relationships, habits and ways of being. Not easy, I know, but it is necessary to clear a space for a new chapter of life which begins next month.
In order to make the most of this cycle energy, it will be necessary for you to surrender to the process of letting go.
Key Number 7
If ever there was a time to start off on a new path, this cycle month is it. You will probably feel more independent than you have for a while, and this may be a bit confusing. It is exactly the way you are meant to feel.
Embrace your individuality and independence. Stand up for what you really want.
Watch carefully for new opportunities, new people, with an inclination towards different habits. This is all in the service of starting over.
Key Number 8
Relationship issues which have been simmering away in the background are likely to come to the foreground now. You will feel a bit sensitive, but it's important to use common sense, tact and understanding in dealing with emotional issues. This cycle energy represents partnership, and you can make meaningful connections with others as long as you keep your cool. Stay out of the spotlight, lend a helping hand where needed, keep your opinions to yourself.
Key Number 9
The energy of this month is all about self-expression and communication. Speak your truth, but do it tactfully. If you are artistically inclined, you will find the quality of your work enhanced under this cycle month energy.
This is a fiery cycle. Emotions run high, and a tendency to be critical is natural. Keep your criticism honest, or keep it to yourself.
The other side of this cycle energy is all about fun. Make new friends, look up old ones, be sociable.

Early Childhood Education – Acquiring Sign Language
In this diversity society we live in, bilingual ability is something that is not only an advantage to have, but is starting to become a necessity. Along with this trend is the ability to communicate articulately in non-verbal ways for the benefit of the disabled- primarily the deaf.
While learning sign language is a advantage in life in general, if is as particularly an advantage in a tilted economic time. With a growing shortage of qualified interpreters fluent in American Sign Language, career opportunities have been very available in the area. If this current trends continue, it's likely that skilled ASL interpreters will have little problem securing lucrative employment in a society where such a commodity is destined to be in short supply.
Signing Before They Can Speak
A great deal of research has come to the conclusion that ages 2 to 5 is the prime time to educate children in different modes of communication and language. This goes beyond the spoken word (though it is an optimal time for children to learn a second language); many young children have an aptitude for signing as well. This can be taught at home or some child care programs incorporate it into their curriculum.
Many indigenous peoples around the world, including American Indian nations, have used sign language for centuries to communicate with other tribes with whom they do not share a language. Some paleontologists and anthropologists theorize that Neanderthals – who apparently lacked the vocal mechanism to produce many spoken words – depended a great deal upon hand gestures to communicate. So it's really not as odd as you may think!
In fact, recent research suggests that sign language is innate! An article published in the Boulder Daily Camera in 2003 presented strong evidence that babies as young as six months old communicate with their hands:
"...by 6 to 7 months, babies can remember a sign. At eight months, children
can begin to imitate gestures and sign single words. By 24 months, children
can sign compound words and full sentences. They say sign language reduces
frustration in young children by giving them a means to express themselves
before they know how to talk." (Glarion, 2003)
The author also cites study funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development demonstrating that young children who are taught sign language at an early age actually develop better verbal skills as they get older.
The ability to sign has also helped parents in communicating with autistic children; one parent reports that "using sign language allowed her to communicate with her [autistic] son and minimized his frustration...[he now] has an advanced vocabulary and excels in math, spelling and music" (Glarion, 2003).
The Best Time To Start
Signing during early childhood education not only gives them a way to communicate, it can also strengthen the parent-child bond – in addition to giving children a solid foundation for learning a skill that will serve them well in the future. The evidence suggests that the best time to start learning ASL is before a child can even walk – and the implications for facilitating the parent-child relationship are amazing.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--X4 Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: XFOR), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel therapeutics for the treatment of rare diseases, today announced that the European Commission (EC), based on a favorable recommendation from the European Medicines Agency's (EMA) Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products (COMP), has granted orphan drug designation (ODD) to mavorixafor (X4P-001) for the treatment of WHIM (Warts, Hypogammaglobulinemia, Infections, and Myelokathexis) syndrome, a rare, inherited, primary immunodeficiency disease caused by genetic mutations in the CXCR4 receptor gene. In October 2018, mavorixafor was granted ODD for the treatment of WHIM syndrome by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The exact prevalence of WHIM syndrome is unknown, however, in the United States alone there are between 15,000 and 100,000 patients classified as having a primary immunodeficiency disease of unknown origin – of which WHIM syndrome is one.
Mavorixafor is a potential first-in-class, once-daily, oral, small molecule antagonist of chemokine receptor CXCR4 targeting WHIM syndrome. Proof of concept in WHIM patients has been observed with clinically meaningful increases in neutrophil and lymphocyte biomarker counts, as well as a trend of reduction in infection rates and wart burden, and a favorable safety profile. Mavorixafor has been well tolerated in prior early phase clinical studies. X4 Pharmaceuticals recently initiated 4WHIM, a pivotal Phase 3 global clinical trial of mavorixafor for the treatment of WHIM syndrome.
"We are very pleased that the European Commission has granted orphan drug designation for mavorixafor, which we believe has the potential to become a transformative treatment for patients living with WHIM syndrome," said Paula Ragan, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of X4 Pharmaceuticals, "We look forward to advancing mavorixafor through our recently commenced Phase 3 pivotal trial and bringing this drug to patients."
ODD in the European Union provides regulatory and financial incentives for companies to develop medicinal therapies to treat serious disorders affecting no more than five in 10,000 people in the European Union.

WHIM syndrome is a rare, primary immunodeficiency disease caused by genetic mutations in the CXCR4 receptor gene and is named for the characteristic clinical symptoms of the syndrome – Warts, Hypogammaglobulinemia, Infections, and Myelokathexis.1 Patients with WHIM may experience significant morbidity beginning in early childhood and continuing throughout life with an increased likelihood of various recurrent, potentially life-threatening infections, and may also be susceptible to malignancies such as HPV-related cervical cancer and lymphomas.1,2,3 The overall cancer risk in patients with WHIM is estimated to be 30 percent by 40 years of age.4 There are no approved therapies for WHIM, and current standards of care are limited to treatment of acute infections with antibiotics or prevention of infections mainly through immunoglobulin substitution or G-CSF.5 The exact prevalence of WHIM is unknown, however, in the U.S. alone there are between 15,000 and 100,000 patients classified as having a primary immunodeficiency disease of unknown origin – of which WHIM is one.6,7,8
About Mavorixafor
X4 Pharmaceutical's lead product candidate, mavorixafor (X4P-001), is a potential first-in-class, once-daily, oral inhibitor of CXCR4, currently in Phase 3 development for the treatment of WHIM syndrome, a rare, inherited, primary immunodeficiency disease caused by genetic mutations in the CXCR4 receptor gene. Mavorixafor has demonstrated proof of concept in WHIM syndrome in a Phase 2 trial, including clinically meaningful increases in neutrophil and lymphocyte biomarker counts, as well as a trend of reduction in infection rates and wart burden, and a favorable safety profile. Mavorixafor was designated orphan drug status by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2018 and by the European Commission in 2019 for the treatment of WHIM syndrome, and is also in development for Severe Congenital Neutropenia (SCN), Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM), and clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).

No Hurricane Here…
… but according to the weather map we're getting the fringe edge of Irene, which means we're getting a rain and a wind at about 30 mph. It will probably continue all night and into the morning, with the rain sprinkling through the day.
The Morgan's Grove Market made it through the morning until closing with only dark clouds and a small spitting of drizzle. Unfortunately, the threat of weather kept a lot of the vendors away. I spent my morning under Ruth Raubertas' canopy to keep dry in case of a downpour that didn't come.
They've cancelled a couple of outdoor events in Shepherdstown for tomorrow, like the Really Really Free Market in the center of town which the students throw at the end of each month, I guess they got through it today, but had to close down earlier and usual when the rain picked up.
Oh well, don't have to water the garden today.

Police Chief Tito Karnavian has said that about AU$7.65 million was spent on security for the rallies to "defend Islam" on 4 November and 2 December. But as Ihsan Ali-Fauzi writes, these material costs are only part of the picture. Of far greater significance is that the protests have eroded the foundations of democracy and undermined the influence of "moderate" Muslim leaders.
