by Todd Bartlett, Executive Director for Camp and Retreat Ministries
As United Methodists we have a long history of developing Christian spiritual leaders.
The early Methodist movement was engaged in bands, class meetings and societies, all of which fostered spiritual growth among the people called Methodists. Along with these, there were places that John Wesley and his preachers traveled to encounter people in the outdoors. This open-air preaching would lead to the development of revivals and tent meetings in the new nation called the United States of America. This method of developing spiritual leaders can be found in our own conference in the history of Falls City, OR. Note: There may be other sites as well, so if you know of them, please let me know so that we can include them in our history for our upcoming 100th anniversary of Camp and Retreat Ministries in 2022.
There were other ways in which the early Church's growth and development styles gave birth to Camp and Retreat Ministries: the Chautauqua programs (check out Ashland's history for this style) where one could consider the Collins Retreat Center as part of this lineage. Then along came the institutes or Epworth League models that founded places like Suttle Lake Camp, Camp Magruder, and Wallowa Lake. The fourth style was youth development, which were supported by our work at Camp Latgawa, Sawtooth Camp, Leewood, and Loon Lake.
Those in church leadership realized that places apart were effective in shaping spiritual leaders. In these places, there were opportunities to learn about the spiritual life and being open and present to the spirit through Creation. Living in intentional Christian community at these camp and retreat centers also means that one can experience being a leader of others simply by doing it. There are opportunities for everyone to lead through setting tables, washing dishes, going on a hike, doing a craft, caring for everyone in your group, praying, singing, and playing. There are so many ways that one can develop leadership skills while at camp.
I am proud that I am a part of a denomination whose forebears gave birth to these beautiful settings from the early days of the Methodist movement through to present day. Well over 200 people bore witness to this during the weekend of June 1-3 when we celebrated 70 years of ministry at Camp Sawtooth, 46 years of ministry leadership by Dave Hargreaves, and the dedication of the Sawtooth Welcome Center. While I know that I will not be around 70 years from now, like those who have gone before me I trust that we will continue to develop Christian spiritual leaders at all our sites well into the future.
See you around the campfire soon,

Global assembling of Academicians, Researchers, Scholars & Industry to disseminate and exchange information at 100+ Allied Academics Conferences
The properties and performance of materials - whether physical or biological or hybrid - are dictated by complex atomic and nanoscale architecture and associated phenomena. Our research is geared towards not only their understanding but manipulation and tailring to yield favorable response and behavior. Such materials include nanostructures, especially inorganic/organic hybrids, and phenomena oftenr revolve around various defects and their dynamic behavior. Thus, the core theme in Dravid group is the paradigm for "Form-Function" and "Structure-Property" relationship in diverse materials. On one front, we are investigating the patterning and characterization of complex multicomponent nanostructured materials such as metal/alloy nanocrystals, biomolecular nanopatterns (DNA/proteins), interfaces between inorganic nanostructures and biomolecules, etc. These structures possess unique and novel morphologies and chemistry, and their electronic structure alsdepends on size and shape. We are exploring applications of such structures, including drug delivery, bio-diagnostics and bio-chem sensing. We are also involved in atomic-scale structure-property relationship for internal interfaces, domains and mosaics. In a large number of material systems, such as electroceramics, semiconductors, superlattices, and structural composites, the property and performance of the bulk material are intimately connected to the structure, chemistry, and electronic structure of interfaces. The philosophy of our approach is based on sound fundamental foundation of complex phenomena, liberal use of advanced instrumentation and techniques and quest for proof-of-concepts for devices as well.

Cartagena, Colombia
Cartagena Attractions: What to do and Where to go
When you think about Cartagena, a good tanning session, a bit of sun tan lotion, a comfortable beach lounger, cold beers, music and even a good book to read are all that you need for a good while. The beaches of Cartagena offer rest and relaxation as well as many alternatives for fun (which include windsurfing, snorkeling, diving or boat rides on the bay) due to the excellent weather of this Caribbean city. Visitors can take advantage of the Caribbean Sea and all the wonders it has to offer.
To spruce up your vacations in Cartagena, go by foot, scooter or in a horse-drawn carriage down the streets and past colonial monuments on a tour within this impressive walled city. All down the length of this modern hotel zone, do a little poking around and discover a little more to this city. Visit the historic Cerro de La Popa (La Popa Hill), which you can see on the horizon of Cartagena.
The Walled City "Corralito de Piedra"
This beautiful conjunction of the port, the monuments of old Cartagena and the fort are all considered World Heritage Sites. The walled city, lovingly known as "el corralito de piedra" (the stone courtyard or corral), has eight miles of walls, 21 bastions and seven forts, as well as picturesque public plazas and cobblestone streets that embellish the historic center of Cartagena de Indias (as it is officially known). The Puerta del Reloj (a Cartagena landmark) is one of the main entrances to this beautiful city. Next to the Puerta del Reloj is the Plaza de Los Coches, scene of the mixing of the cultures and races, producing the creole mix that is characteristic of Cartagena and giving birth to the Afro-Colombian folklore that is famous around the world. The Plaza de Los Coches is the perfect place to ride a horse-drawn carriage and tour the walled city. Explore and listen to the interesting explanation that is given on all the buildings and landmarks visited.
Get to known this city and take photos of the main attractions located within the "corralito de piedra", like the Plaza de la Aduana, the Casa Museo Simon Bolivar (Simon Bolivar House and Museum), the Palacio de La Inquisicion (Palace of the Inquisition), the Museo del Oro de Cartagena (Museum of the Gold of Cartagena) and the churches of Santo Domingo and San Toribio, which date back to the 16th century. A visit to the Convento de San Pedro is also a must, the final resting place of Pedro Claver who was one of the main defenders of the Black population. The Museo Naval, the statue of the India Catalina (another significant landmark of the city) and the Teatro Heredia (which is the main forum of the performing arts in the city) are also important. A walk along the sea wall that leads to the romantic sea is fundamental for that classic photo for the visitor to Cartagena. Sit on the stone wall which are centuries old, with the sea in the background or pose at one of the bastions, like those of Santiago, Santo Domingo or San Francisco, that are the crowning touches to the impressive walls of Cartagena.
Beaches in Cartagena
The beautiful beaches of Cartagena allow swimmers to advance towards the waters of the Caribbean Sea, without having it rise past waist-deep, even ten meters out. The shallowness of the water makes it a great place to literally "sunbathe", making it the coolest spot to get a good tan. They're also great for families who want to teach their kids how to swim. The beaches become a true carnival everyday. Beautiful "Palenqueras" (women who are dressed in brightly colored costumes with baskets of fruit on their heads) offer their wares so that you can cool off for a moment, while you take in a view of the sea. Women who come and do braids appear everywhere, adding a bit of a busy feel to the place, leaving in their wake well-coiffed tourists, who feel comfortable enough to take a dip, without worrying about ruining their 'do. Pose and take photos on your fantastic vacation in Cartagena de Indias.
The Islands of Rosario, Tierrabomba and Baru
There are various boats and scheduled departure times for excursions that take you from mainland Cartagena to these beautiful island paradises. The Island of Tierrabomba is located on one side of the Bahia de Cartagena and because of this, has wonderful beaches. There are also forts and ruins of old colonial buildings. The Islands of Rosario is a series of 30 smaller, coral islands, surrounded by transparent waters, typical of the Caribbean Sea. Snorkeling or diving in this water is an absolute wonder, as you admire the incredible colors of this underwater world. On these islands, there is an oceanarium, with a typical dolphin show as well as sharks, which add to the attraction of this archipelago. Complement all of this with land activities. The Island of Baru is another Cartagena attraction that you can't miss out on. You can get there by land, crossing the Canal del Dique, or by sea, crossing the majestic Bahia de Cartagena. This beautiful place offers a long length of white sand beaches and crystal-clear waters, excellent for a day of swimming or snorkeling among thousands of multi-colored fish.
Cerro de la Popa
"The Hill of the Stern" is how the name of this hill would translate. Its silhouette is an integral part of the Cartagena skyline. "Popa" (stern) refers to the fact that part of that silhouette looks very much like the back of a boat. At the top of the hill, there is a beautiful church and a colonial convent constructed at the beginning of the 17th century. From this point, you can admire the best panoramic view of Cartagena de Indias, starting from the Island of Tierrabomba, the port enclosure and, of course, the beautiful walled city, distinguishable by its symbolic Puerta del Reloj.
Conventions in Cartagena
One more attraction in Cartagena (even though this one is work-related) is the extraordinary service and installations for conventions. Large auditoriums with booths built in for simultaneous translation, large, board-meeting type tables and cutting edge audiovisual technology has, in recent years, brought about an interesting change to this much loved tourist destination on an international scale. This has made Cartagena one of the main business sites in Colombia and in all of Latin America.

Intermittent Fasting Diet
There are different types of fasting diets, some including fasting during the day, others alternating days in which you don't eat with days in which you eat, and then there is also the 5.2 fasting diet. The 5:2 diet, also called The Fast Diet or Intermittent Fasting Diet (or intermittent eating diet, depending on point of view) is a type of intermittent fasting known as alternate-day fasting. Basically, on this diet, you eat normally for five days a week and restrict your daily calorie intake to 500–600 kcal (basically just implies you reducing the amount of calories) for two days every week, resulting in an overall calorie deficit that leads in the end to weight loss. The 5:2 diet is seen as an improved alternate-day fasting diet. By contrast, some other types of alternate-day fasting diets involve going without food for a full 24 hours. The 5:2 diet has extremely low calorie allotment on the two days you have to fast.
Evidence supporting the health benefits of alternate-day fasting is growing by the day, and it seems to be a legitimate and healthy option for weight loss.
Research suggests that alternate-day fasting doesn't cause excessive calorie intake on eating days despite what you would think.
This may be also due to the release of peptide YY (PYY), which is a hormone that makes you feel full and therefore helps you eat less. However alternate-day fasting hasn't been shown to cause a greater amount of weight loss when compared to standard diets containing the same number of calories, several studies have found that both approaches (calories restriction and alternate fasting) can be effective for losing weight and belly fat. Moreover, although it isn't possible to completely prevent loss of muscle while losing weight, alternate-day fasting seems to be more preventive in this aspect as it helps maintaining muscle mass when compared to conventional forms of calories restriction and this is per se an advantage. Summarising, the 5:2 diet is a form of alternate-day fasting that involves eating 500–600 kcal two days a week and eating normally otherwise, therefore, no stress on no-fasting days. It's been found effective for losing weight and fat while having some protection against muscle loss.
The Zone Diet
The Zone diet was created in the mid-1990s by Dr. Barry Sears, a US-based biochemist. He developed this diet after losing a family member who died prematurely of heart attack. The Zone diet is thought to have an anti-inflammatory effect in your body. One of the pillars of the diet is that once you reduce generalised inflammation, you will lose fat at the fastest rate possible, slowing down ageing, and therefore reducing your risk of chronic disease and improvement of your overall performance. It's based on the premise that a strict ratio of protein:fat:carbs is required for optimal weight loss and overall health.
This eating regime specifies that the overall calorie intake should be made up of 30% lean protein, 30% healthy fat and 40% high-fibre carbs.
As part of this specific diet, carbs should have what is called a low glycemic index, which means it should provide a slow release of sugar into the blood to keep you fuller for longer. Protein should be mostly lean and fat should be mostly monounsaturated (found in organic meat or healthy vegetable oils). In addition, these foods should be consumed as a prescribed number of "blocks" at meals and snacks. It seems that what is called the "hand-eye" method is the easiest way to start the Zone Diet. As the name suggests, your hand and eye are the only tools necessary to get started, although wearing a watch can be useful to keep an eye on when to eat (as it should be at a specific time of the day). In this approach, your hand has several uses. You basically use it to determine your portion sizes. Your five fingers are your reminder to eat five times a day and never go without food for more than five hours. In the meantime, you use your eye to estimate portions on your plate. For example, to design a Zone-friendly plate, you need to divide your plate into thirds.
- One-third lean protein: One-third of your plate should have a source of lean protein, more or less the size of your palm.
- Two-thirds carbs: Two-thirds of your plate should be carbs with a low glycemic index.
- A little bit of fat: Add a little bit of monounsaturated fat to your plate, such as avocado or almonds or olive oil.
This method is designed to be a simple way for a beginner to follow the Zone Diet. It is very flexible and also allows you to eat out at restaurants while you are following the Zone Diet, because you can use your hand and eyes as specific tools to choose options that fit Zone recommendations. Then, Zone food blocks allow you to personalize your diet to your body by calculating how many grams of protein, carbs and fat you can have/need per day. The number of Zone blocks you should eat per day depends on your height, weight, waist and hip measurements. The average male eats something like 14 Zone blocks per day, while the average female eats usually 11 Zone blocks. A main meal such as breakfast, lunch or dinner contains three/five Zone blocks, while a snack always contains only one Zone block. Each block is of course made of a protein block, a fat block and a carb block. Blocks are usually divided like this:
- Carb block: Contains more or less 9 grams of carbs.
- Protein block: Contains more or less 7 grams of protein.
- Fat block: Contains more or less 1.5 grams of fat.
Studies to date suggest that the Zone diet can be effective for weight loss and reducing the blood sugar levels, insulin resistance and also inflammation. In a controlled, six-week study with overweight adults, those who followed the Zone diet lost more weight and body fat compare to the low-fat diet group. On top of that they also reported in average 44% reduction in fatigue. In another study, 33 people followed one of four different diets. The Zone diet was shown to help participants lose the most fat, and to increase the ratio of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids to omega-6 fatty acids at the end of the study.

Get Sex: Chemistry Between Two people Not just Mad Science
Do you believe your better half and you have chemistry? Properly, apparently presently there is almost certainly some research behind it. I turns out that you can examine a future mates compatibility by comparing their Dna with yours? Mad science? Maybe, but it works.
Primer pheromones are all those that impact the hormonal system of all those who inhale or come into make contact with with them. When there are people today out there who are promoting fake merchandise which they purport to have pheromones along with, the science guiding the phenomenon and its effectiveness is very genuine. Facts per them is just about everywhere online, even from reputable sources this kind of as WebMd, Cnn and also Psychology These days.
Effectiveness Although the Glaciers Buster Pheromone claims to be able to draw ladies to men with ease, it does not manage to do much of anything in any way. It appears to be that when the person uses Ice Breaker Pheromone, they simply experience a time in which they feel more in control and more upbeat and fired up, which makes them even more tasty to girls then they've been before. Therefore, the Ice Breaker Pheromone does not appear to be that effective.
- You may well be thinking such a bottle of males attracting pheromones can do to be able to heat up your romance.
- Very well, this highly effective perfume produces a odor that will make you irresistible and sensuous to your guy.
- The following are the added benefits that you can attain from applying the guys getting pheromones perfume:
- Where can you find pheromones for women?
- Now the planet will be digitized and internet is available.
- It is possible to purchase for your pheromone in the internet.
- Or you can get it from reputed shop.
- Since the effect of pheromone is pretty strong do not use it everyday.
- Use it only in your need.
Duration When you use the Ice Breaker Pheromone, you are going to be in a position to see the consequences of it for 1 or 2 hours, at least that is what is stated by the manufacturers. You need to squirt the item,,just a spray or two, on to yourself and it should last for several hours.
Who knew? And the best match depending on Dna, is the one who has many differences in his or her genes as compared to the potential mate. It seems that those with the most related genes we are not normally drawn to because they are so similar as to be possible family members.
Pheromones are microscopic natural and organic molecules that are secreted by means of the glands, particularly by means of the scalp (hair) and the skin color. Beings of the exact species, i.e., people and people today, animals and animals, can select them upwards. When they are inhaled, they have a good result from case to case. Relying on the pheromones, it can generate emotions of attraction, alarm and host of people.
- But nature has allowed all of us to be able to be positive about this on our own -- without posting swabs of our Dna.
- It is our own olfactory sense.
- Do you ever wonder why you meet someone and instantly feel sparks?
- Your body is telling you that this person is a good match for you to create, reproduce, spawn offspring.
Guess this was natural way of preventing birth defects, etc. coming from incestuous interactions.
- I'm a skeptic by heart but when I heard about pheromones attrackiing ladies, I was stunned.
- I commenced reading through and identified a Pherazone Evaluation for Guys gyude which led me to be able to then attempted it.
- Does it function?
- You be the judge.

When you are a good match genetically, you reduce the likelihood of miscarriages, beginning defects and also increase the risk of your offspring having a strong disease fighting capability.
Chemistry is What can Help You Help Make a Good Choice in a Mate
However, it is a selection purely designed toward reproduction, childbearing, definitely not on how well your personalities and values mesh. What Dna will help you find is often a mate who will turn you on and help you spawn children with strong genes as well as strong immune systems.
- But what if you do not even want children?
- Properly, still it can help you find a mate together with whom you will reveal a strong sexual fascination, which is important in any relationship.

- The vomeronasal organ (VNO), which is found in the nose, is capable to be able to detect pheromones.
- There are numerous styles of pheromones.
- Some of the most properly-known are primer pheromones, releaser supplement pheromones and information pheromones.
- However, it seems the true value of this particular scientific disciplines may be for anyone going to a sperm bank in an attempt to have children.
- They will be able to find an individual whose Dna will help them birth a child with powerful genes and strong immune systems.
Human attraction through Pheromone Pheromone is something which cannot be seen helping bringing the differing intercourse jointly. The twelve signs of chemicals launched by one animal tend to affect the behavior of one other associate of the same species. This is in various method...
Pherazone Review for Males, Pheromone Cologne for Men, Pheronmones for Men,
Some of the screening guiding this Genetics coordinating was done by having females smell men's dirty tshirts. I think they named it the Sweaty TShirt Experiment or something. It turns out that the tshirts the women found most interesting (I guess that smelled the best to them) belonged to males who were compatible with these based on Dna testing.
Apparently, there really is something at the rear of the assertion that our pheromones attract people. By comparing gene pairs, scientists can decide regardless of whether the sex life will be good and regardless of whether you will be a good "childbearing" mix.
- Now why you use pheromone?
- You will use it because it will make you more attractive, more confident and it will help you to make trust of the people.
- Well it is not a magic.
- But it looks like a magic.
- You can talk to other girl who used it before and also you won't be disappointed.
Ease of Use
The Ice Breaker Pheromone is actually easy to use, as it is simply a apply. However, it can be sophisticated to be able to figure out how many oral sprays to use, and how far away to be able to hold the bottle from yourself while you are moistening. This can cause a mis-dosage, and to an individual not getting plenty of or getting too much of it.
So If You are a Woman What Will You Do to Attract a Man? Here the Word Pheromones Occur
It will help you definitely. Using pheromone it is possible to achieve a fantastic result and it will help you to draw the attention of a man.

After 30 years of Mario games, diehard Nintendo fans will always have Super Mario memories. Who wouldn't? We've seen Nintendo's iconic mascot do it all. From his debut in 1981's Donkey Kong to duking it out in the Super Smash Bros. arena on Wii U. But what about the people behind the scenes who make Mario games? What stories do they have to tell? To celebrate Mario's 30th birthday, IGN tracked down nine Nintendo legends to hear their fondest Mario memories.
IGN sits down to play Super Mario 64 and discuss why it still is one of the best 3D games of all time.
"Of course, I've had many memories with Mario over the last 30 years, but the one that sticks out for me most was when we made Super Mario 64. I felt very fortunate to be able to work in a 3D space for the first time, take on this new technology, and have Mario be the character that helped bring it to life. And that we did that by working with 3D technology at a time when there weren't many people doing it. So that was a very important moment with Mario for me.
"The other memory links back to my childhood. When I was younger I used to always like to make puppets and do puppet shows. When we made Super Mario 64, it was like I was able to do a puppet show with Mario in a 3D space. It's been very fun for me to have these moments where the things that I've enjoyed from my youth have blended in with the work that I do in video games."
- Shigeru Miyamoto, Senior Managing Director and General Manager of EAD Division at Nintendo
"So, actually, I had never played Super Mario Bros. before working at Nintendo. When I joined Nintendo, Super Mario Bros. was already out. When I did have a chance to play it, I was like, 'Oh my gosh. This is really cool. This is really fun.' I worked on level design for Super Mario World and Super Mario Bros. 3.
"One of my fondest memories is when I was working on Super Mario World, I was engaged to be married. I had all of these wedding preparations to help with while I was doing the course design for Super Mario World. It was just a really busy time. But I remember finishing the game, and it being ready for sale, and then I got married. That period of my life is a wonderful memory."
- Katsuya Eguchi, Manager at Nintendo EAD
Super Mario Bros. 3 transformed everything we knew about the series. In this video, IGN discusses why this seminal game has stood the test of time.
"I actually was the director on Super Mario Bros. 2, but I did level design for Super Mario 3. It was extremely hard, because up until the deadline for the game, I had absolutely no time to sleep to finish the level designs.
"The dev tools at the time were not anywhere close to the level of what we have now. You may have seen this during the Nintendo digital event, but we were making all of those levels with paper, right?
'So, you'd take one of those papers after you finished writing it, and hand it over to an engineer, and the engineer would have to do all the inputs by hand. Then, that's when you get to sleep. [Laughs] Then, the engineer wakes you up by saying "It's done!" And then you get up and check to make sure that everything's OK. And then the engineer sleeps while you're doing that. [Laughs]
"And then it's just a repeat of that, with the engineer sleeping while you're working. Then, after three days of doing that, you really don't understand when day is, and when is night."
-- Kensuke Tanabe, Producer at Nintendo SPD
Eguchi responds to Tanabe's Mario memory: "Yeah, because it was really tough making all of those courses during that time. I look at it now, and we have Super Mario Maker
"I would have to say my favorite Mario memory would be the first Mario Kart game for the Super NES. The first Mario game that I worked on was Super Mario Bros. 3 with Mr. Tezuka and Mr. Miyamoto. I have a history of working on Mario games, but when F-Zero came out we had an idea. It was a racing game, and we wondered what if we put Mario in one of those cars. Initially it wasn't Mario sitting in the driver's seat. It was another character. But, eventually, we decided to place Mario in that position and, as it evolved, the Mario Kart franchise evolved. So I'd have to say that my fondest memory would be my participation in bringing Mario Kart to life, and being heavily involved in that process."
- Hideki Konno, Producer at Nintendo EAD
"I was the director of Super Mario 3 [but before that] I was also the director of Super Mario 2 for Japan, but that was really just taking the courses from the first Super Mario Bros. and revising them. So, it wasn't that big of a creative role for me. I think my first role as the creative director of a Mario game was with Super Mario 3, and so because it was my first time, there were just so many different things I wanted to try. But as I thought about all these things I wanted to try, the scale and my hopes and everything became so big that it became really something that we really couldn't narrow down and focus. It just became this big monstrosity. And then of course that increased the development time. At the time, I was also still working as an artist, so I was actually still creating artwork for the project as well. It was this project that sort of grew out of control and became this big thing, but I was able to get all of these different people to lend a hand and pitch in and help me finalize all these dreams I had when I became the director. The end result was Super Mario 3. That's my favorite Mario memory.
New Super Mario Bros. 2 on 3DS changed the tried-and-true platforming series into a clever dash for cash. Check out the trailer above.
"I think if I was given the same project today, I could do a better job at it, but I have to say, that project taught me so much and I learned so many valuable lessons that I'm just very happy I was able to go through that.
"Within the company, within Nintendo, the number of people actually involved with or work on Super Mario is actually not as big as most people think. I think all of those folks who weren't involved in the Mario franchise, they thought there was all this top secret knowledge and know-how involved in making these titles. And it's like, no no no, anybody can do this.
"And actually, as a result of that, we opened up basically a 'Super Mario Level Design School' within Nintendo, and I was the principal. We had these classes, these workshops, where we would have about 10 people from other development groups within EAD, and we would teach them the level design process that we used. We did that for about three months. But of course, you can study something forever, but until you actually do something with that knowledge you won't have that sense of success or achievement. So what we did then was select some people from these workshops and those are the people that we put together to be the team that created New Super Mario Bros 2 for the Nintendo 3DS. I was able to meet and interact with folks from different departments, different groups, and develop these relationships. I'm working with some of those people on different projects now. That's something that was really very interesting and rewarding for me and I'm sort of calling it the 'Mario Fulcrum.' That's the thing that we're all revolving around, is Mario. I think that my area of movement and influence has increased as a result of that. That's the story. That's a good Mario memory. To just be able to meet different people within the company and create these relationships and help them grow as well."
- Takashi Tezuka, Producer of Super Mario Maker

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.- A crowd of people gathered outside the steps of IMPD's headquarters in downtown Indianapolis Friday night, demanding change in the wake of IMPD's Merit Board decision and speaking out against racial injustice.
Last week, the Merit Board voted to allow two officers who shot and killed Aaron Bailey to keep their jobs, despite the police chief's recommendation that they should be fired.
"I won't stop fighting justice for my father and I feel like the community is upset, too, clearly it's a lot of people here, that just really touches my heart," Erica Bailey, the daughter of Aaron Bailey, said.
Police said in June 2017, Bailey led officers on a chase after a traffic stop before crashing his car. When the officers thought he was reaching for a gun they shot him, though no weapon was found. A special prosecutor determined there would be no criminal charges.
The Merit Board determined the officers would keep their jobs after a three day long hearing.
"It's injustice that happened with Aaron Bailey. Me personally, my father grew up with him, he was a childhood friend, so it hits home a little deeper," Jeff Mcclure said while attending the rally. "The injustice is just crazy to me because it could be anybody."
"Do not put the officers back on the street, there's no way we can have the officers that killed Aaron Bailey back on the street," Satchuel Cole, the vice president of the activist group Dont Sleep, said.
Earlier in the week, city county councilors called for everyone to work together and listen. Next week, a proposal is set to be introduced to the city county council addressing the makeup of the merit board. It would add two more members and stagger their terms.
Meanwhile, though, the cries against racial injustice and demands for change were filled with pain and emotion, and only grew louder from people of all ages.
"No one deserves this and if this happened to me, I'd want justice too," Braden Kathery, 11, said.
The rally ended with members calling police and sharing their message.

The blooms along the
pearlescent highway have something to say.
Something hard, heavy, fragile as
a newborn Monday.
Pastel clowns zoom past me in minivans,
with children in the back,
their desperate faces pressed to the glass
like cling wrap.
There was a rehearsal for the
unification of everything,
but I could not find my third
piece among my things,
which found me tangy
and burnt like pie.
Bees drink the oily nectar,
imagine heaven swelling up
from the soil in a
prefabricated hive,
and something sweeter than honey.
The clowns roll past with
children ensconced in their nightmares.
Nothing is unified, but more
and more steel is soldered
together by errant bakers.
The flowers breathe,
begin to speak their piece.

The Roland FP-10 is the first entry-level piano to beat the Yamaha P-45 in my opinion. Roland has created a digital piano that will stand the test of time and beat quite difficult to match for other companies.

Roland FP-10 Review
Excellent entry-level digital piano
Roland FP-10
The FP-10 is one of the best digital pianos for beginners that I have played to date. It absolutely crushes in the key-action department, along with the overall sound and speakers.
If you are curious about digital pianos similar to this, I recommend checking out the following options as they are the upgraded versions of the FP 10.
My opinion is that the Roland FP-10 digital piano is a major win for the company and musicians altogether. This is a streamlined version of the FP-30 which I thought was already a fantastic product.
The FP-10 is the keyboard for serious pianists who are on a tighter budget but still don't want to sacrifice with a lesser quality product.
I believe this is a better version of the Yamaha P-45 for two reasons; Roland's key-beds, in my opinion, are better than Yamaha's, and the FP-10 has Bluetooth technology. My full review is below.
Quick Look At Similar Options
|Runner Up
|Korg B2
|Editor's Pick
|Yamaha P125
|Yamaha P71
Slim, sleek, and relatively light in weight are how I would describe this instrument.
This is easily one of the slimmest digital pianos on the market currently with only the Casio PX S-1000 and the PX S3000 coming to mind.
In all of my years personally playing the piano, Roland has always been the company that sticks out for having realistic feeling keys.
The FP-10 comes with the Roland DP-10 sustain pedal which is not the greatest pedal. This isn't the biggest deal as you can always get another one for a cheap price.
In a digital piano in today's age, I think the most important thing is just how the instrument plays and feels.
You can always use it as a MIDI controller nowadays and find a better sound, but the keys a permanent.
The Roland FP-10 is the top choice for my list of the best digital pianos under $500.
For this price, I am honestly surprised at how good the keys feel. I think that this might be the best feeling keyboard near this price range and I believe because of this it's going to attract a lot of pianists.
They have been hinting at the white keys being moisture absorbent. When you play this keyboard, you will notice that it feels like real ivory keys. This is because of a new technology they have tried out and I think this is great and you can definitely tell a difference in the feel here.
The hammer-grade action keys are becoming an industry standard, yes, however, not for keyboards in this price range. Roland has a big win in this department because of this.
Roland used their PHA-4 standard key-action for the FP-10. This is their most affordable option that they make and it is also found on the FP-30 and FP-60.
You can adjust the touch-sensitivity so it plays to the velocity of your keystrokes. This means that you can adjust to how hard you hit the notes essentially.
5 Pre-Settings For Touch-Sensitivity
You can switch between Super Heavy, Heavy, Medium, Light, Super Light, and Fixed. The default is going to be the medium and in all honesty, this is how I play on it.
My least favorite setting is the fixed setting. This makes it so you basically can't have any dynamics. I don't think this is a great setting as you won't be learning proper mechanics if you have this turned on. This setting makes it there's no difference in the sound whether you hit the key hard or soft.
Some people get super into messing with the touch-sensitivity, but I've always just found that Roland does a great job in putting it where most people will like it.
Overall, the FP-10, in my opinion, has the best key-bed for around this price range. If you enjoy running digital pianos as MIDI controllers, this is a great choice as it's affordable and it plays extremely well.
Graded Hammer Action
The PHA-4 standard is an 88 key full-weighted action which aims to capture the realism that you get when you press down an actual piano key.
The lower notes feel heavier than the lighter keys do, just like on an acoustic piano. This is because the keys are individually weighted in the FP-10. Roland has truly nailed this on all of their digital pianos that I have played on.
Have you ever played a digital piano in which the keys play poorly and loud? The PHA-4 key-bed is designed to do the opposite. In this price range, I don't believe there are any options that provide a more smooth play upon hitting the keys.
If you're a pianist who has been playing for many years, you will notice that you can hit the keys further back easier than on other digital pianos. The keys won't feel as stiff.
Note: I play on the Yamaha P-45 daily and I believe that the Roland FP-10 keys feel heavier and better overall. For a while there, the Yamaha P-45 was the standard for this price range, but Roland has taken this in my opinion.
I personally think the sounds are relatively good. With this being said, I do understand the price range and I also do consider this when I'm testing out new products. The sound system they used on this is their SuperNATURAL system. I watched a few videos where people were blown away by the sounds of it.
You will find 15 built-in sounds on the FP-10 including:
- 4 Grand Pianos
- 2 Electric Pianos
- 1 Beautiful Pad
- 1 Vibraphone
- 2 Organs
- 2 Harpsichords
- 2 Strings
- Scat Voice
When comparing this to the FP-30, you will notice that there are an additional 20 built-in sounds. To me, this isn't a huge deal because I don't think you should worry about the number of sounds on a digital piano. It's much more important that the quality is greater than the quantity.
Note: You can use the Roland Piano Partner 2 App to access the additional 20 sounds that the FP-30 has for free.
The first piano on the FP-10 is, in my opinion, the best one on the instrument. It's incredibly deep and warm sounding. I'm personally more of a fan of warm sound pianos rather than bright.
Note: The FP-10 is the only digital piano near this price range that simulated sympathetic string resonance and key off-resonance. This makes for a full tone and a more organic feel overall.
For the advanced players: You will notice sympathetic string resonance which will occur when you hold down multiple notes and then play more notes on top of those. This sounds confusing, but what this does is it makes the other notes resonate sympathetically.
As far as key off resonance goes, I personally don't really notice this. What this means is that when you release a note, the damper falls onto the note in order to silence it. This will then create a subtle sound that you won't really hear, however, it adds to the mechanics to emulate a real piano.
Roland SuperNATURAL Engine
There are a couple of great things to note in this department. Most digital pianos only come with 4 different sensitivity levels for each key. Roland brings 6 to the table. These are:
- Pianissimo(Very Soft)
- Piano(Soft)
- Mezzo-Piano(Moderately Soft)
- Mezzo-Forte(Moderately Loud)
- Forte(Loud)
- Fortissimo(Very Loud)
The note decay is also different on the SuperNATURAL system because it allows for organic note decay. This emulates the sound of a real piano more so than the traditional digital piano would.
Most digital pianos just loop the same sound and have it decay in volume. The SuperNATURAL system allows the note to change in sound as it decays just like an acoustic piano.
I find this to be quite amazing as this leads to an extremely realistic play. If you're playing a classical piano piece that calls for a lot of different dynamics, you will notice how well the FP-10 allows you to dig into the dynamics.
There is a built-in metronome and a new feature called the "twin piano mode." This allows the student and teacher to play the same range of notes while sitting right next to one another.
Another option is to use a pair of headphones while you practice. Here are my favorite options for headphones for digital pianos.
Music Stand
The built-in music stand with the FP-10 is not the best. It has a flat design which can lead to the music falling off of the keyboard. This can be frustrating and it seems they did this to create part of the sleek design.
With this being said, you should be fine with it. If not, you can pick one up for extremely cheap as well.
The speakers on the FP-10 are located on both sides and they face downward. In my opinion, the one knock that people could try and make on the FP-10 is that the speakers are small.
There are 2 speakers, one on each side, and they are 6 watts each. While this is not a lot of power by any means, they actually sound fantastic. I also thought that with the placement, they could sound weird, however, not the case at all.
I never make a big deal about the speakers on digital pianos as I almost always run it through monitors or headphones.
VS The Yamaha P-45
I wanted to include this section as I believe the P-45 is a popular model for a similar price. My opinion is that the FP-10 is better in every way. From the key-bed to the sounds and the design. I think this is impressive as the P-45 is no slouch and it has some great success in the community.
As far as the sounds go, I prefer the FP-10's grand piano over the Yamaha's. The reason being that it is a little less bright sounding. The P-45 to me has always sounded a little too bright.
You can watch this video here to compare for yourself.
In comparison, here's a little chart to make it easier for you to decide for yourself.
- Sounds: The FP-10 has 15 sounds whereas the P-45 has 10
- Preset Songs: The FP-10 has 17 and the P-45 has 10
- Polyphony: FP-10 has 96 note polyphony vs the P-45 64 note polyphony
- The FP-10 has Bluetooth capability, the P-45 does not
- You can adjust the brilliance on the FP-10 and not on the P-45
- The P-45 weighs 2 pounds lighter
VS The FP-30
The FP-30 is greater than the FP-10 in every category except for weight. However, I don't think it's worth the additional money. There's no difference in the key-action and the big difference is in the speakers. If you play with headphones, you will be more than fine.
Note: The wattage on the FP-30 for the speakers is 22 watts and on the FP-10 it's 12 watts.
VS The Yamaha CP88
I'm comparing an entry-level Roland digital piano vs one of Yamaha's high-end digital pianos, I get that.
However, I wanted to pick a great keyboard to compare it against. It doesn't win in any category, as expected. However, I do believe that the Yamaha CP88 is one of the best feeling digital pianos I have ever played.
You can read my full review of the Yamaha CP 88 here.
This is where Roland has taken a big step forward. We are already starting to see Bluetooth technology in MIDI controllers, now we are seeing it in digital pianos. It's really a great thing to have included as there are many things you can take advantage of with this technology. You can connect this to any educational apps by using your smart devices.
It comes in weighing only 28 pounds. This is crazy to me as I have owned a lot of heavy keyboards in my time playing the piano. We are definitely seeing the industry starting to move to lighter options to accommodate for gigging and or touring.
Included Foot Pedal
The FP-10 comes with the DP-2 foot pedal. This isn't the greatest, but it can get the job done if you're just a beginner. The DP-2 doesn't allow for half-pedaling. Half-pedaling is a more advanced technique that is used for variation in the sound.
If you are someone who uses the damper pedal often on a piano, you will most likely want to invest in a different foot-switch. As mentioned above, this is okay for beginners to intermediate, but that's all I would recommend it for.
I think it would be fair to say that this is a pretty affordable price. The FP-10 offers some state of the art technology for the price range. From the sound engine to the keys, I believe that you're getting some extreme value for a low price.
While this can be used for beginners, it will also last them for as long as they want it to.
Note: When I started playing the piano, I had a cheap non-weighted Yamaha keyboard and I quickly outgrew it. You won't find yourself outgrowing the FP-10 as it can be used for as long as you want it to be.
I think that this is a great product at a great price. Honestly, I think that Roland took some great steps forward with the Bluetooth technology here. I believe in the next couple of years we are going to see pretty much every digital piano having this ability as it really is nice for kids and just beginners.
When you compare the key-bed and the playability on the FP10 to others in its price range, it is going to be a whole different level. When playing all of the high-end digital pianos, I almost always lean towards Roland and Kawai as I feel they are the closest to the real thing.
Do you have any experience when it comes to playing the FP-10? Where do you believe this stands as far as with the other products available in this price range? I would love to know your thoughts below in the comment section!

Westport, CT - Sex, politics, and religion – nothing is sacred – in Westport Country Playhouse's world premiere translation and adaption of Molière's comedy, "Don Juan," by Brendan Pelsue, directed by Playhouse associate artistic director David Kennedy, from November 5 – 23.
Meet the legendary Don Juan as you've never seen him before in this modern-dress production of the satirical, classic comic tale. Wherever he goes, the notorious seducer and antihero leaves behind a trail of broken hearts and society scandals, relying on his trusty sidekick, Sganarelle, to clean up his unruly messes. When an unearthly visitor arrives, Don Juan may finally be forced to confront his wicked ways.
"When I originally proposed that we produce 'Don Juan,' I thought 2019 was the perfect time to revive this acerbically comic tale of an undisciplined, thin-skinned narcissist who blazes a path of destruction through the world, upending institutions and social norms, destabilizing everything, offending all decency and morality, and leaving a trail of wreckage in his wake. I can't ever imagine why," said Kennedy, director.
The title character of Don Juan will be played by Nick Westrate (Broadway's "Bernhardt/Hamlet, "Casa Valentina," and "A Moon for the Misbegotten"; recipient of the 2012 special Drama Desk Award for his work in three plays that season). Sganarelle, Don Juan's sidekick, will be played by Bhavesh Patel(Broadway's "The Nap," "Present Laughter" opposite Kevin Klein; Lincoln Center Theater's "War Horse"). Philip Goodwin will portray Don Juan's father Don Louis (Broadway's "Tartuffe," "The School for Scandal," "The Diary of Anne Frank").
Other cast members are Jordan Bellow as Don Carlos (New York theater's "Interior"; regional theater's "A Raisin in the Sun"; television's "Gotham"); Paul DeBoy as Mr. Gusman/Statue (Broadway's "Mamma Mia!"; television's ""Leviathan"); Carson Elrod as Pierrot/Dimanche (Westport Country Playhouse's "Bedroom Farce," "How the Other Half Loves," and others; Broadway's "Peter and the Starcatcher"); Suzy Jane Hunt as Dona Elvira (Broadways' "Dear Evan Hansen," "Dead Accounts"; television's "The Americans"); Claudia Logan as Mathurine/The Ghost (HBO's "Random Acts of Flyness," "The Deuce"; Netflix's "Tales of the City"); Bobby Roman as Don Alonzo (film credits "The Challenger," "Tapestry," "One Night in Brooklyn"); and Ariana Venturi as Charlotte (five seasons at Berkshire Theatre Festival; Alya Feinburg in season two of "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel").
Playwright Molière (1622-1673) was the leading French comic actor, stage director, and dramatic theoretician of the seventeenth century. In addition to "Don Juan," his works include "The School for Husbands," "The School for Wives," "Tartuffe," "The Misanthrope," "The Doctor in Spite of Himself," "Amphitryon," "The Miser," "Scapin," "The Learned Ladies," and "The Imaginary Invalid." Translator/adapter Brendan Pelsue is a playwright, librettist, and translator whose work has been produced in New York and regionally, including "Wellesley Girl" at the Humana Festival of New American Plays, "Hagoromo" at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and "Read to Me" at Portland Stage Company. He also produces the podcast "We Are Not These People" with journalist Natasha Haverty. Originally from Newburyport, MA, he received his MFA from Yale School of Drama and his BA from Brown University, where he received the Weston Prize in playwriting.
Director David Kennedy is in his eleventh season as Playhouse associate artistic director. He has directed Playhouse productions each season, including "Suddenly Last Summer," "Loot," and "The Invisible Hand," which received the 2016 Connecticut Critics Circle (CCC) Award for Outstanding Production of a Play, and for which Kennedy won the CCC honor for Outstanding Director of a Play. He was previously with Dallas Theater Center, and was founding artistic director of The Lunar Society in Toronto and Milkman Theatre Group in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
The creative team includes Marsha Ginsberg, scenic design, and Sam Vawter, associate scenic design; Katherine Roth, costume design; Matthew Richards, lighting design; Fitz Patton, original music and sound design; Michael Rossmy, fight director and intimacy coach ; Karin White, props supervisor; Dana Tanner-Kennedy, dramaturg; Tara Rubin Casting, Laura Schutzel and Claire Burke, CSA; and Shane Schnetzler, production stage manager.
Production Sponsor is the Eunice and David Bigelow Foundation. Corporate Production Partner is BNY Mellon Wealth Management. 2019 Season Media Sponsors are Moffly Media and WSHU Public Radio.
Performance schedule is Tuesday at 7 p.m., Wednesday at 2 and 8 p.m., Thursday and Friday at 8 p.m., Saturday at 3 and 8 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m. (No Wed. or Sat. matinees during preview week). Special series feature Taste of Tuesday (November 5), LGBT Night (November 7), Post-Play Dialogues (November 7 and 14), Opening Night (November 9), Sunday Symposium (November 10), Together at the Table Family Dinner (November 12), Open Captions (November 17), Backstage Pass (November 20), Playhouse Happy Hour (November 21), and Thursday TalkBack (November 21).

6 Top Tips For Your First Time Traveling to India
With one of the world's greatest cultures, India continues to draw enormous numbers of adventurers each year. But – while it absolutely deserves its reputation as a life-changing destination, if you're planning your first trip, there are a few common-sense things to consider first.
When to go
The first thing to consider when planning your visit is when in the year you'll be there.
Travelers often divide the Indian year into three – the High Season, the Low Season, and the Shoulder, in between. The High Season (Dec-Mar) offers the easiest climate for getting around, but is also busy and (relatively) expensive. The Low Season (Apr-Jun) will often be extremely hot and may present difficulties for those unused to such conditions. Meanwhile, the Shoulder (Jul-Nov) includes Monsoon Season.
Please note that the effects of the seasons also vary from region to region – from higher altitude areas to subtropical conditions elsewhere. Photo by Amit Jain on Unsplash
See the regions
Next, it's a matter of deciding where in the country you want to see first. It's a classic (and not uncommon) mistake to think you can cover a large swathe of the country in one trip. In fact, India is such an enormous place that – unless you're staying for a seriously extended period – the best strategy is usually to pick a particular region and concentrate on exploring it thoroughly.
Very broadly, many travelers begin with one of the Golden Triangle (Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur), the spiritual heartlands around Bodhgaya and Varanasi, or the cosmopolitan South of Mumbai and Goa. Photo by Kyran Low on Unsplash.
What to pack
Whatever time of year you go, sunscreen will be essential. Mosquito repellent is also a very sensible precaution. And with both, it's worth taking more than you think you'll need, unless you know you'll be heading somewhere you can restock while there.
In terms of comfort, ear-plugs are recommended for crowded transport or congested stops – especially if you're trying to sleep. And, to keep your valuables safe, it's worth investing in a decent padlock.
You're likely to be doing a lot of walking, so make sure you have comfortable – and durable – footwear. Despite the typical heat, if you're heading up toward the Himalayas, you will additionally require suitable clothing for wintry conditions. Photo by Bhupendra Singh on Unsplash.
Getting around
There are more transport options than ever before in modern India, though the most popular are still trains (especially for longer journeys) and buses (for local or regional trips).
The rail network is one of the busiest in the world – and travelers are served by over 7000 stations, nation-wide. Nowadays, timetables are accessible online and tourists should remember larger cities will often have specific terminals where foreigners can be attended to. Trains will offer different class tickets, and the higher-priced may well include a sleeping berth for the price.
Buses, meanwhile, are the cheapest form of travel, and most areas offer very frequent services. Indeed, they may be the only option in some of the more mountainous areas. Night buses are not recommended – accidents are sadly not uncommon. Photo by Pratiksha Mohanty on Unsplash.
Staying healthy
Although India is rapidly modernizing across its society, its sheer size means the standards of hygiene are not yet uniformly at the level many smaller, wealthier countries take for granted.
As such, visitors must be aware that it's their responsibility to prepare before traveling and be careful once in the country. This means getting your vaccinations at least a few weeks in advance of setting off (giving them time to work). If you have pre-existing conditions, take a doctor's letter detailing these plus the appropriate medications – even better is a bracelet with the basic details. It's also recommended you take a personalized medical kit.
Bottled water is widely available and should be prioritized. Be especially wary of malaria in rural areas. Many travelers recommend going vegetarian for the duration of your visit since this will minimize risk (vegetarians will also find more options in India than anywhere else on the planet). Photo by Rathish Gandhi on Unsplash.
How to act
Although it's largely a relaxed country, there are a few simple tips to remember if you want to fit in.
Make sure you have appropriate clothes for visiting sacred places. Some parts of India can be conservative and so covering up – with lightweight material – is advised. Likewise, you'll be expected to take off your shoes before entering people's homes. And it's considered polite to shake hands with your right hand – the left is seen as unsanitary due to standard toilet practices.
Lastly, overt public displays of affection are not encouraged for couples, whatever your orientation. Photo by Pop & Zebra on Unsplash.
