Not inconceivable that 'Princess Bride' star in S.A. Saturday
Think rescuing a maiden named Buttercup from a heavily guarded fortress while being mostly dead is tough?
Try making a movie about it.
As actor Cary Elwes tells it, simply getting the film adaptation of William Goldman's much-loved novel "The Princess Bride" off the ground was very nearly — to borrow a much-quoted line — "inconceivable."
"There was a series of catastrophes," Elwes said in a telephone interview. "They'd get so close to making it, and it wouldn't happen. I think it was meant to fall into the hands of Rob (Reiner). He has the sensibility and knew how to craft it tonally."

Elwes, who played Buttercup's golden-haired true love Westley in the movie, is sharing stories about the movie in a series of appearances at screenings across the country, including a stop Saturday at San Antonio's Tobin Center for the Performing Arts. The tour marks the 30th anniversary of the movie's release.
The actor was a big fan of the book well before he read the script, which Goldman himself wrote.
"I knew that Bill had been trying to make the film since he wrote the book in '73, and that a number of directors had been attached," Elwes said. "Francois Truffaut had it, John Boorman, Norman Jewison. Robert Redford had it at one point, and approached Susan Sarandon for a part in it. And Chris (Sarandon), who was married then to Susan, read it back then and said this it was great."

The script languished until Rob Reiner, hot off the runaway success of "This is Spinal Tap" and midway through making classic-to-be "Stand by Me," was told by a studio that he could make anything he wanted as his next project. He chose "The Princess Bride."
"They said, 'Anything but that,'" Elwes said.

"They knew it was a tough sell. They knew it would be problematic in the tone of it. They knew that Goldman was very protective of the material. Studios don't like writers to have too much input when they're making a film; they want to have a free hand to do with the material what they want."
Reiner, Elwes said, knew precisely how to work with Goldman's tonally tricky script, which is an action film, a romance and a comedy.
"He told us, 'I want you to play your cards close to your chest,'" Elwes said. "'Don't play it for laughs. You don't need to make it any funnier.' He understood that right away."
Film critic Roger Ebert noted the success of that approach in his review, writing that the movie is "a sly parody of sword and sorcery movies, a film that somehow manages to exist on two levels at once: While younger viewers will sit spellbound at the thrilling events on the screen, adults, I think, will be laughing a lot. In its own peculiar way, 'The Princess Bride' resembles 'This Is Spinal Tap,' an earlier film by the same director, Rob Reiner. Both films are funny not only because they contain comedy, but because Reiner does justice to the underlying form of his story."
The movie wasn't an immediate smash, but found a devoted audience over time. Elwes often is approached by fans bearing bits of dialogue they've had tattooed on their flesh. They also share photos of "Princess Bride"-themed weddings and tell him about family members named after characters.

Fans' continuing interest in the movie prompted him to do the tour. A few years ago, it also inspired him to work with writer Joe Layden on the book "As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of 'The Princess Bride,'" which came out in 2014. He described the book, which is being released in paperback Nov. 4, as a "love letter" to fans.
The title refers to the way that Westley lets Buttercup know he loves her — he responds to her requests by saying, "As you wish." Elwes often is asked to repeat the line, and he is always happy to oblige.
"In that regard, (co-star) Wally Shawn said, 'You're very lucky, Cary. If I drop my keys in public, people say, 'Inconceivable!' What's interesting is that everybody, when they say that word to me, thinks I'm hearing it for the first time.'"
Elwes believes the movie still resonates partly because it's something that families can watch together and partly because of the story it tells.
"It's a film about love and sacrificing for love, and who doesn't like that? And on top of that, it's funny."

Most of the "create new *something*" don't work, as the editor was never finished and the game probably wouldn't be compatible with more creatures / traps than intended. Even so, you'd still be limited by the lack of additional creature / trap meshes.
You can, however, create new objects, shot types, and creature spells.
Technically, you can also create up to 2 new Traps. The Hero Sentry Trap and the Hero Alarm Trap are duplicates of the non-Hero variation. In fact, the Hero Alarm Trap uses the same mesh, where as the Hero Sentry Trap at least has an alternative mesh but the stats are the same. You can change these to make new traps, but remember to remove the "Hero Trap" check mark and to also never directly place a Hero owned Sentry Trap / Alarm trap after you make changes else it will crash the editor. Simply make a different trap other than the one you want and then edit it afterwards.

Subject: SARIF must be UTF-8
We've previously discussed whether SARIF has to be encoded in UTF-8. The answer, it turns out, is "yes."
As Stefan has correctly pointed out, the ECMA 404 JSON spec does not specify a text encoding for JSON. However, it does say the following:
It is expected that other standards will refer to this one, strictly adhering to the JSON syntax, while imposing semantics interpretation and restrictions on various encoding details. Such standards may require specific behaviours. JSON itself specifies no behaviour.
But RFC 8259, "The _javascript_ Object Notation (JSON) Data Interchange Format," says this:
JSON text exchanged between systems that are not part of a closed
ecosystem MUST be encoded using UTF-8 [RFC3629].
Previous specifications of JSON have not required the use of UTF-8
when transmitting JSON text. However, the vast majority of JSON-
based software implementations have chosen to use the UTF-8 encoding,
to the extent that it is the only encoding that achieves
Since SARIF documents are JSON text that is exchanged between systems that are not part of a closed ecosystem, RFC 8259 requires them to be encoded in UTF-8.
Even if RFC 8259 did not exist, the language in ECMA 404 means that SARIF, as a standard that refers to ECMA 404, would be entitled to require a specific encoding. But the existence of RFC 8259 makes it clear that we should do that.
This afternoon I'm writing a change draft to address a cluster of encoding-related issues (#76, #97, and #98). I will take the opportunity to add this requirement to the spec.

Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who dominated Italian politics for almost two decades, resigned as fallout from his legal woes and contagion from the euro- region's debt crisis led his government to unravel.
Berlusconi presented his resignation last night to President Giorgio Napolitano after the parliament in Rome approved measures to spur growth and reduce the euro-area's second-biggest debt. Napolitano will ask former European Union Competition Commissioner Mario Monti to form a government tomorrow after consulting with the country's political parties. Talks are scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. in Rome.
Berlusconi, 75, said on Nov. 8 that he would resign as soon as the budget measures were passed. Defections had left him without a majority in parliament, and Italy's 10-year bond yield had surged past the 7 percent threshold that led Greece, Ireland and Portugal to seek EU bailouts. Squabbling among his Cabinet paralyzed has government and his defense of charges that include bribery and paying for sex with a minor sapped his popularity at home and undercut his support abroad.
"We cannot imagine that without Berlusconi our problems are solved, but without Berlusconi we can start working on how to solve the problem," Rocco Buttiglione, a member of the Union of Centrists and a member of Berlusconi's previous government, said yesterday in Rome.

Turd Ferguson: The Inexorable March Higher For Precious Metals
Turd Ferguson is a funny guy.
But there's one thing this irreverent, acerbically goofball forecaster is stone-cold serious about: the need to build personal exposure to the precious metals.
For him, it's a straightforward mathematical certainty that the global economy must collapse under the weight of the excessive (and exponentially compounding) credit amassed over the past several decades. The debt is simply too large to be serviced.
As a growing number of analysts (including Chris) are predicting, Turd sees the replacement of the world's current monetary regimes as the endgame to this story. And he believes we are watching that endgame unfold in real-time now.
In this interview with Chris, Turd discusses his reasons why gold and silver offer the best prospect for preserving wealth through the coming devaluation of world currencies, despite his strong conviction that the markets for these metals are heavily price-manipulated.
In fact, it's precisely due to this manipulation that Turd is able to predict short-term price movements in gold and silver as confidently as he does:

Many times in the Psalms David cried out to God from a weary soul. David was very human and when things seemed dark and bleak he asked God why. Still, as a faithful servant David was convinced his trust was not in vain and he called to mind the power of God as encouragement.
I cried out to God with my voice—
To God with my voice;
And He gave ear to me.
In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord;
My hand was stretched out in the night without ceasing;
My soul refused to be comforted.
I remembered God, and was troubled;
I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah
You hold my eyelids open;
I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
I have considered the days of old,
The years of ancient times.
I call to remembrance my song in the night;
I meditate within my heart,
And my spirit makes diligent search.
Will the Lord cast off forever?
And will He be favorable no more?
Has His mercy ceased forever?
Has His promise failed forevermore?
Has God forgotten to be gracious?
Has He in anger shut up His tender mercies? Selah
And I said, "This is my anguish;
But I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High."
I will remember the works of the Lord;
Surely I will remember Your wonders of old.
I will also meditate on all Your work,
And talk of Your deeds.
Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary;
The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
The waters saw You, O God;
The waters saw You, they were afraid;
The depths also trembled.
The clouds poured out water;
The skies sent out a sound;
Your arrows also flashed about.
The voice of Your thunder was in the whirlwind;
The lightnings lit up the world;
The earth trembled and shook.
Your way was in the sea,
Your path in the great waters,
And Your footsteps were not known.
You led Your people like a flock
By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Jeremiah 32:42 For thus says the Lord: Just as I have brought all this great calamity on this people, so I will bring on them all the good that I have promised them.
Jeremiah 33:14 'Behold, the days are coming,' says the Lord, 'that I will perform that good thing which I have promised to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah'
Romans 4:19-21 And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb. He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.
Romans 15:8 Now I say that Jesus Christ has become a servant to the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers
2 Corinthians 1:20 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.
Galatians 4:28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
Ephesians 1:12-14 that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory. In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.
Hebrews 6:11-15 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
God's Infallible Purpose in Christ
Hebrews 10:36 For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise
Hebrews 11:11 By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised.
James 1:12 [ Loving God Under Trials ] Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
2 Peter 1:2-8 Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is long-suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
1 John 2:25 And this is the promise that He has promised us—eternal life.
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Savior;
Standing, standing,
I'm standing on the promises of God.

Lawmakers give themselves $1M to pay for local tourism projects
The Alabama Senate last week approved a General Fund budget with an appropriation that could benefit lawmakers' re-election campaigns this fall.
Language added to the budget before the upper chamber voted for it Thursday adds $1,050,000 to the Alabama Tourism Department, "for grants for tourism events to promote local and state economies." The appropriation, split evenly between the Alabama House and Senate, would give $5,000 to each House district, for up to five grants worth $1,000 each. Senate districts would get $15,000 to award up to 10 grants, worth $1,500 each.
Grants would be awarded based on the "absolute discretion" of the Tourism Department, but the language also says that "each grant shall be awarded following the recommendation of members of the Legislature or legislative delegations."
Senate Finance and Taxation General Fund chairman Arthur Orr, R-Decatur, said Tuesday he included the language "in response to numerous requests from members on how to get support for local projects for their districts," and said he hoped it would be useful in drawing business from other states.
The chairman also said they wanted to get away from individual line items for local projects in the General Fund budget. In fiscal year 2010, more than $1.5 million in grants were awarded under the Tourism Department, ranging from $300,000 for the Alabama Sports Festival to $10,000 for UFO Days in Fyffe.
"This is a very small way to help support and drive economic activity at the local level," Orr said. "And presumably reap a financial benefit in the long run."
The $1 million would be a small sliver of the $1.8 billion proposed budget, although budget framers have tried to save every splinter of state revenue in making the General Fund budget, perpetually hampered by rising costs and flat revenues. Looming elections, Orr said, were not the driving factor.
"It is on a very small scale, and it's a good investment for us," he said.
The Tourism Department is budgeted to receive $18 million in the 2015 fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1. The majority of the funding — $16.3 million — would come from the state lodging tax, separate from General Fund appropriations.
Lee Sentell, executive director of the Alabama Tourism Department, said Tuesday he "was always looking for funding to help underserved areas create more events and activities."
The department for many years has had a $200,000 program to help rural areas promote their activities, usually in the form of printed materials such as brochures, Sentell said. Many rural communities, he said, have no local taxes to help promote tourism.
"This will allow us to reach more communities than we have been able to do in the past," he said. "But it is my expectation that if our agency administers the program, we will have a voice in the final decisions."
Orr said he expected the department to only award the grants to "meritorious" projects.
"It's up to the Tourism Department," he said. "If it's a situation where you have people staying in hotels for a multi-day event ... the tourism and the economic impact would go up, or is it a one-day festival that lasts three hours — I don't think that would have much economic impact. That's supposed to be litmus test."
Both Orr and Sentell said the overall process for determining merit still had to be developed. Under the language in the budget, the grants must reflect the "geographic diversity" of the state; if the money is fully used, the Department of Tourism could have to review the economic impact of up to 875 projects.
Though the final number remains to be determined, lawmakers also have effective power over Community Service Grants, aimed at promoting educational projects in local communities.
In the current fiscal year, each Senate district gets about $18,000 for the program, while each House district gets $6,000. The Education Trust Fund budget that passed the House last week would have increased that to $36,000 per Senate district and $12,000 per House district, but final numbers won't be known until after a conference committee meets April 1 to work on a compromise.

FIRST DEGREE (USA, 24 min 38 seg )
Directed by: Roger Weisberg
Written by: Roger Weisberg & John Fugelsang
The expression, "sent up the river," was coined by convicts who were sent up the Hudson River to do their time at the infamous Sing Sing Prison in Ossining, NY. FIRST DEGREE finds hope in this seemingly hopeless place by investigating an unusual college behind bars that is successfully preventing Sing Sing inmates from being sent back up the river after their release. Nationwide, over half of released inmates return to prison within 5 years, but for the past 14 years, less than 1% of the inmates that received a college degree at Sing Sing returned to prison.
FIRST DEGREE takes viewers inside this notorious maximum security prison and introduces them to some unforgettable inmates. We first meet Sean Pica, who was 16 years old when he went to prison in 1986. Sean's high school friend, Cheryl Pierson, told Sean that her father was sexually molesting her, so Sean helped plan and carry out his murder. After receiving a 24-year sentence, Sean thought his life was over until a prison education program called Hudson Link gave Sean an opportunity to earn a Bachelor's Degree. After serving 16 years, Sean was released, but he couldn't't stay away from Sing Sing. Unlike most of the paroled prisoners that Sean met at Sing Sing who re-offended and quickly returned to prison, Sean came back to Sing Sing to run their college program. He takes us through his early days in prison as a hopeless 120 pound, 16-year old inmate to his discovery that college could open up an entirely new world of opportunity and possibility.

EDAL case summaries
The parents and minor siblings of a Syrian national, who was recognised as a refugee, cannot claim refugee status in terms of international protection for family members, if the beneficiary, although a minor when he was registered as an asylum applicant, was no longer a minor at the time of the court hearing.
If a Member State is responsible for carrying out an asylum procedure under the relevant terms of the Dublin Regulation, e.g. under Art. 29 (2) of the Dublin III Regulation, an applicant may invoke that Member State's responsibility if it has not been positively established that another Member State (which does not have responsibility) is willing to take charge of the applicant or take him or her back.
In such a case, it can be derived from the objective and purpose of the Dublin system, as well as the fact that it constitutes the procedural dimension of the substantive rights...
1. The issue as to whether an asylum-seeker was already protected against political persecution in a third country is only relevant in terms of the asylum application for recognition of refugee status in the context of the concept of the first country of asylum as defined in EU law in Article 29 of the Asylum Procedures Act (Articles 25 and 26 of the Asylum Procedures Directive).
2. If the Federal Office has reached a decision on the asylum application in this case, the substantive question of the subsidiarity of refugee protection in the assessment of refugee status is...
Germany - Verwaltungsgerichtshof Baden-Württemberg (Administrative Court), 16 May 2012, 11 S 2328/11
1. The expulsion of a recognised refugee may only take place subject to the requirements of Article 21 (3) in conjunction with (2) and Article 24 (1) of the Qualification Directive.
2. Compelling grounds for public security or order according to Article 24 (1) of the Qualification Directive do not presuppose any outstanding acts of extraordinary danger in support of international terrorism; neither does specific involvement of a sympathiser suffice unless it is characterised by a large degree of continuity and as such shapes and influences the environment of the terrorist...
There are "good reasons" within the meaning of Art 4.4 of the Qualification Directive to consider that the persecution of ethnic Chechens from Chechnya which was solely based on membership of the group will not be repeated. The standard of Art 4.4 of the Qualification Directive has now replaced the concept of "sufficient safety from persecution" as developed in German case law for refugees who had been subject to persecution before they left their country of origin.

It's getting to that sad time of year where we say farewell to our final year students. Micheál Costello is a final year BA in New Media & English student at the University of Limerick. In this blog post, originally published on his blog What He Does, Micheál writes about his time at UL, and his future plans.
So it has been a while since I have written and uploaded a post! As you may know from my Instagram I am in my final year of University studying New Media & English (I should really "I was in" but that's still a little too scary to write). These past few months have been pretty hectic with my undergrad thesis due, and several other assignments, essays, and projects, so I basically did nothing worth blogging about!
I would love to be able to say "I have finally reached the end of my degree studies" but it feels wrong to say "finally" when the last four years have absolutely flown by. Time flies when you're having fun! My four years in the University of Limerick have been nothing if not fun. Of course there were days when I cursed my degree, my lecturers, my tutors, my group assignment members but the positives outweigh any negatives by the longest shot you can conceive of.
Memories of UL's beautiful campus full of students from all corners of the world doing their own thing will stick with me forever, and I will cherish them. The friends I have made here and the experiences we have shared on campus are also ones which I will never forget. I would be lying if I said I wasn't sad to be leaving. I will try to come back at some point though, there is no way I can completely wean myself from the homemade fudge sold in UL's farmer's market every Tuesday!
Not only did UL inject positivity into my life while being on campus, the university gave me the opportunity to travel, and enjoy new experiences off- campus, as far off campus as Barcelona and Geneva. I know that it's such a cliché to say that travelling changes you, but it did change me. If anything living in these two cities forced me to become more independent and to basically make that final transition from being a child to a proper adult.
The opportunities to travel that UL placed in my hands have created positive memories and relationships that I will have treasure forever. When I was placed in Barcelona teaching English little did I know that I would enjoy it so much that I would choose teaching English as my first job after I graduate. If it wasn't for UL and their international programs I would still be here scratching my head trying to figure out what I want to do, or worse working in a job just for the sake of it without any enjoyment.
So what happens now? Well, beginning on the 15th of August I will be no longer a student, I will be an English teacher living and working in Abu Dhabi! This is exciting as much as it is daunting, but I am determined to remain focused on the positives. Year round good weather, a new culture to immerse myself in, a job that I know I will love, and living in a coastal area, what more could I ask for?
As much as I am eager to leave the student life behind (not for good, I will more than likely do a masters at some point). I am emotional to be leaving UL. These past four years have been full of learning experiences extending far beyond the lecture halls, building friendships, becoming an adult (or at least a more mature man-child). Of course departing from the little corner of Ireland where all these significant changes in your life took place is going to be difficult. Having said that, I do leave with a little pep in my step, I know that UL has equipped with the skills to go far in my life both inside and outside of any career path I go down. The university has fostered in me a sense of adventure which is certainly going to carry me through my time in Abu Dhabi.
I don't think there is much more to say other than, thank you UL, and see you later!
The very best of luck to Micheál and all our final year students!

text: Rahim Madhavji - Monday, December 17, 2018 USD/CAD - Canadian Dollar Eroded by Leaking Oil Learn how KnightsbridgeFX can help you save up to 2% when buying or selling US dollars compared to your Canadian bank's rates – click here to compare bank rates The Canadian dollar is caught between a rock and a hard place. A newly pessimistic outlook for 2019 oil prices and the Bank of Canada's (BoC) shift toward a dovish monetary policy combined to shift the focus to 73 cents vs the U.S. dollar. The Canadian dollar stayed under pressure last week when West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil prices were unable to gain any traction above $53.50 U.S./barrel. The International Energy Agency warned that 2019 global supply could outstrip demand in 2019 because of rising U.S. production. Even news that China had made some concessions in the US/China trade war didn't shift sentiment. The falling oil prices have exacted a toll on the Canadian dollar. Western Canada Select (WCS) trades at a discount to WTI due to the quality of the crude, a shortage of pipeline capacity and a lack of market access other than the U.S.. The low prices are forecast to knock 0.5% from Canadian GDP growth in 2019. The Canadian dollar is being undermined by the resurgence of diverging Bank of Canada and U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate policies. BoC Governor Stephen Poloz indicated that the pace of Canadian interest rate hikes might be less than what was previously expected. He blamed trade woes and oil prices for the uncertainty. The Fed is still on pace for another four rate increases in 2019 although that number could be lowered on Wednesday when a new Summary of Projections is released. The Bank of Canada is also concerned about slowing growth momentum in Canada which is another reason they will temper their enthusiasm for rate increases. The Canadian dollar is suffering from the perception that China's anger with Canada following the arrest of the Huawei CFO will have negative consequences for Canadian trade or businesses investing in China. The Canadian dollar is also suffering due to the focus on European and Great Britain developments. The British pound has traded in a volatile manner for the past week due to the UK parliament vote on Brexit being cancelled, followed by a "no-confidence" vote by Conservative MPs against Prime Minister Theresa May. The Prime Minister prevailed, and GBP/USD rallied. Traders were also focused on the European Central Bank (ECB) meeting and whether they were concerned enough about France and Italy budget developments to adjust their monetary policy. They weren't. Traders are looking ahead to Wednesday's domestic inflation report. Canada November Consumer Price Index is expected to drop substantially from October's 2.4% rise. Forecasters are predicting a 1.9% increase, which if correct will not doe the Canadian dollar any favours. There are not any Canadian or U.S. economic reports of note, due today, leaving the Canadian dollar to track oil and Wall Street price movements. Rahim Madhavji is the President of KnightsbridgeFX.com, a Canadian currency exchange that provides better rates than the banks to Canadians

The sensation of the current of Life Force moving in the body (especially in the central core of the spine) naturally and automatically focuses the mind, drawing it within to exquisitely subtle sensations…just like iron filings to a magnet.
Attuning to the vibration/sensation requires a delicate balance between tension and relaxation…as the movement of the Life Force in the central core of the body creates a sensation that activates the body to "contort," to fall into "swoon."
Finding the balance point between tension and relaxation is important because, in the beginning, the tension of the body contortion can quickly exhaust the body. As you gain familiarity with the contortion energy, you learn to modulate the buildup of energy without overextending the energy of the body.
As I've mentioned many times in previous posts, connecting with the subtle sensations of the Life Force (the awakening Kundalini) is not a difficult process. I realize, though, the immense paradox of how a vibration so close (and obvious), can remain seemingly hidden, unobtainable for a lifetime(s)!
The subtle sensation is available, accessible through every movement, every posture…in yawning, in stretching the body, in every smile, in tears, through sex… through every body function!
The connecting piece, which I believe is also the "missing ingredient" that opens the feeling connection with the subtle sensations (at play in the central core of the spine), is surrender…to the dance.
Not a passive surrendering to any and all vibrations, but a listening, feeling and falling (surrendering) towards expansion, towards what imparts an uplift of the heart. In surrendering to the Cosmic Dance, there is a deep release of self to follow the lead of Higher Self!

Many songwriters may start off their careers with dreams of being the next Bob Dylan or Joni Mitchell, with soulful and unique lyrics easily pouring directly from their minds and hearts onto the page. But no matter how much raw talent and personal drive you may have, developing solid songwriting skills can be difficult. Whether you are a novice looking for your first great hit or a seasoned songwriter experiencing a bout of writer's block, it never hurts to find new ways to improve your skills. From your recording studio in San Antonio, here are five ways that you can improve your songwriting skills:
- Know your stuff: Great songs come from the heart—but they also come from a solid understanding of hooks, melodies, bridges and the entire anatomy of a song. If you have tried approaching things from a free-verse perspective without much luck, it might be time to dig out some old technique books and brush up on the basics. Studying some of your favorite songs to see what they have in common will not hurt, either.
- Find a community: Sometimes, just knowing there is someone out there with the same dreams, ambitions and challenges as you can make everything seem a little easier. But beyond the camaraderie, finding a community of songwriters will give you more valuable insight and diverse perspectives than you can find anywhere else. If you are not sure where to find this community, try checking out an open mic night at a nearby bar or cafe, or a community bulletin board at your local recording studio.
- Challenge yourself: If you wait around for inspiration to strike, you might be waiting for a very long time. Instead, force yourself to do the work and put in the time, even if nothing you write feels good enough. Having a structured goal, such as writing one song per week, approaching a different topic each month for a year or promising you will have new songs for a friend on a certain date, should help you get the ball rolling.
- Always write it down: Whether it is a fully formed lyric or just a vague idea about a theme, you ought to get in the habit of always writing down your ideas as they occur to you. Carry a small notepad in your pocket, or keep a running list on your phone that will be at your fingertips at all times, before a great idea can slip away.
- Find the right environment: Some writers prefer to write alone on their bed, while others like to cowrite with others in a loud, bustling environment. Whatever works for you is great, but you should also make an effort to switch things up every once in a while to keep things from getting stale. And if you want to record as you write, make sure you find a recording studio in San Antonio that is inviting, creatively focused and remote enough to give you some peace and quiet.
If you want to record some of your best new material, remember that Windmill Valley Recording is always happy to take on new clients. Contact us today to learn more!

In Puerta de Alcalá Dental Clinic we put special interest in dental prostheses, since a high number of patients have problems in their teeth or have an old dental prosthesis, which may cause discomfort, diseases in teeth, in gums, in bone, aesthetic problems, excessive mobility of poorly adjusted dental prosthesis, difficulty speaking … etc.
Currently, at Puerta de Alcalá Dental Clinic, your dentist in Madrid center, we use the latest techniques and advances in dental prosthesis development, such as the Cerec system, which allows the manufacture of ceramic teeth free of metals, with a greater accuracy of adjustments, both on natural teeth and in implants. Aesthetics are also better, making them look like natural teeth.
When talking about dental implants, we make aesthetic ceramic crowns, on zirconium pillars, giving a great naturalness and aesthetics. We also work with resin prostheses anchored to implants with a sophisticated system that allows a great fixation and security to speak and eating, avoiding the mobility of the prosthesis.

Target: Sonny Perdue, Secretary of Agriculture
Goal: End siege against endangered pollinators and protect them from extinction.
Rare animals that perform a crucial function in agriculture and the wild are currently fighting to survive against an increasing number of human-made obstacles. Pollinators need to be protected, and not just honeybees. Honeybees typically receive the most attention but only represent approximately one-third of crop pollination and an even smaller percentage of wild pollination. Meanwhile, many other pollinators are in danger, including bumblebees, butterflies, flies, and many other types of bees. We need to implement broad changes in agriculture and development in order to protect these species.
The decline of wild pollinators over the last several decades has gone largely unhindered. Several factors contribute to the loss of these important members of our ecosystems and are linked to loss of pollinators' food sources and habitats, including widespread pesticide use, land cover changes, monoculture farming, climate change, and increased competition from commercial beekeeping. Land cover changes for farming or other uses destroy the habitats and diverse food sources for pollinators, Monoculture farming, although efficient for food production, has a secondary effect of providing food for pollinators in the immediate area only for a small window of the year. Climate change has impacted seasonal cycles and when plants bloom, endangering the pollinators' food sources. Climate change and monoculture farming impacts are then exacerbated by the competition with commercial beekeeping for the limited food supply.
Efforts to save these species include pollinator gardens, but these are often small, isolated, and insufficient to make significant changes. Single-focus conservation such as this on one species of pollinator is not enough to maintain all species. A wide array of conservation efforts is necessary, including large and connected pollinator gardens, pesticide bans, movement away from monoculture farming, and consideration of these species during land cover changes. Species such as the bumblebee are already endangered and their challenges will only worsen.
Honeybees are a main focus when it comes to saving pollinators, and rightly so; however, honeybees represent only a small portion of both crop and wild pollination. Other pollinators need protection as well and face a multitude of challenges. Sign the petition to encourage regulators to assign resources to broad, multi-faceted conservation of all pollinators.
Dear Secretary Perdue,
Pollinators are under siege from human-made obstacles, including land cover changes, monoculture farming, and commercial beekeeping, and it is not limited to honeybees. Actions by humans constantly threaten the habitats and food sources of all types of pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and flies. An estimated 75% of food crops depend on pollination, half of which is provided by wild pollinators. Honeybees are often the focus of conservation efforts, but only provide approximately one-third of our crop pollination. The remainder still require our attention.
Wild pollinators are very important to our ecosystems and to farming. Many crops and wild plants cannot proliferate without them. Although the conservation focus on honeybees is just and admirable, many other pollinators exist and require multi-faceted conservation efforts to combat the many different factors impacting food sources and habitats. Conservation attempts thus far have been insufficient to reverse the growing number of endangered pollinators.
Please mobilize the U.S. Department of Agriculture to implement broad, multi-faceted conservation efforts to protect all pollinators and the important work they do. Industry and farming has yet to feel the impacts of declining pollinator populations and will not make changes on their own. Don't wait until it is too late.

Frankie Sandford is BACK, people! The Saturdays are finally complete again after four months of performing minus new mum Frankie, and we couldn't be happier for the girls.
Taking to Instagram to share a celebratory snap of the original foxy fivesome squeezing together for the selfie-of-all-selfies, the bride-to-be wrote: 'Full house! #5inaselfieishard'.
In the snap, Mollie King, Rochelle Humes, Una Healy, Vanessa White and a pouting Franks are all seen beaming in their glam stage make-up as they're officially reunited as a band for the first time since Frankie took up her maternity leave back in August.
Vanessa was the first to spill that their missing member might be returning to her girlband duties before Christmas, telling Capital FM last week: 'We're all really, really excited. We've got a few surprises this Christmas that I can't say, but it's going to be fun and Frankie's going to be back'.
Latest Stories
And while Frankie's been amazing at filling us in on her yummy mummy antics since giving birth to little Parker in October, we've been counting down the days until Frankie and The Sats were whole again.
Here's to a sparkling The Saturdays Christmas!

Many companies and employers require that workers carry out certain actions before fully getting their workdays underway. However, if employees are not compensated for mandatory tasks, they may miss out on pay to which they're entitled. In fact, some workers may be owed overtime pay if certain processes require them to be on the job over 40 hours a week.
Tennessee readers may be interested in a class action lawsuit that was filed in another state with mandatory check-in processes at its core. According to reports, officers at a corrections facility must spend approximately 30 minutes each workday going through security screenings before they start their compensated duties. The screenings involve being searched and scanned before entering the prison grounds and then going through another screening process after they arrive at their designated work locations.
In addition to having to go through these unpaid screenings, workers also claim that they do not receive breaks during their eight-hour workdays. The workers hope that the suit will allow them to receive overtime pay for these mandatory screenings. The state's Department of Corrections indicated that it was reviewing the case and would provide a response in court.
Not receiving overtime pay could potentially violate wage and hour laws, depending on the circumstances. As this case shows, it may be necessary to move forward with legal action in efforts to have a situation thoroughly assessed and a conclusive answer received. Workers in Tennessee who believe that they have not received proper compensation for their time on the job may wish to gain more information on their rights regarding this topic.

If you're after a new car, the chances are you want something a little more salubrious than the motor you have now. You may have saved up for a little while and have a hefty amount in your bank account ready to be unleashed on a new vehicle. While it's sitting there wallowing, you need to decide what sort of motor you want to see sitting on your drive. You might be keen to part exchange and save a few dollars on the purchase price. It doesn't matter how you are funding your new set of wheels, it's vital that your vehicle suits your lifestyle. Take a look at the sorts of motors you might be tempted to buy.
While you might not have considered purchasing a home on wheels, if you love the great outdoors, adore nothing more than going camping for the weekend and yearn for going where the wind takes you, then you might want to scrap the idea of getting a car. A campervan does everything a car can do and so much more. You can still commute to work, visit friends and family and do the weekly shop. At the same time, you'll be able to venture off on a road trip at a moment's notice all the while showing off how achingly cool you are driving your retro 1980s campervan. While it might seem a little self indulgent, a campervan may be a practical option.
If you live alone, do a lot of city driving and money is tight, there's nothing better than a simple yet trusty hatchback. So long as you aren't heading out on the highways and making long journeys, hatchbacks can be a financially sound option. The insurance is low, they are cheap to buy and the parts are easily accessible should anything go wrong with your motor mechanically. If finances are tighter than you'd like, think about investigating auto loan rates to see if you can budget a little more stringently. For those people who want a small set of wheels and who aren't petrol heads, then a simple vehicle that will get you from A to B will suffice.
If you have plenty of readies in the bank, you don't have a small brood of tiny human beings in tow, and you enjoy the thrill of the open road, it might be time to treat yourself. A sporty little number may be just what you are looking for. While the insurance may be a tad higher, you can feel safe in the knowledge that you will adore every drive you take. The horsepower will be immense, the handling will be a pleasure to master, and you will enjoy feeling the wind in your hair as you accelerate on the open road. While it might not be the most financially sensible or practical vehicle if you need plenty of trunk space, this is a sound investment if you want to have a carefree drive and fun when behind the wheel.
Purchasing your next car may be giving you a headache. However, by focusing on your lifestyle and the sorts of things you want from your vehicle, you will find the perfect set of wheels for you.

That's when it hit him. Right there, in the numbers on the page, he noticed a flaw—a strange and surprising pattern, like the cereal-box code, written into the fundamental machinery of the game. A loophole that would eventually make Jerry and Marge millionaires, spark an investigation by a Boston Globe Spotlight reporter, unleash a statewide political scandal and expose more than a few hypocrisies at the heart of America's favorite form of legalized gambling.
This particular game was called Winfall. A ticket cost $1. You picked six numbers, 1 through 49, and the Michigan Lottery drew six numbers. Six correct guesses won you the jackpot, guaranteed to be at least $2 million and often higher. If you guessed five, four, three, or two of the six numbers, you won lesser amounts. What intrigued Jerry was the game's unusual gimmick, known as a roll-down: If nobody won the jackpot for a while, and the jackpot climbed above $5 million, there was a roll-down, which meant that on the next drawing, as long as there was no six-number winner, the jackpot cash flowed to the lesser tiers of winners, like water spilling over from the highest basin in a fountain to lower basins. There were lottery games in other states that offered roll-downs, but none structured quite like Winfall's. A roll-down happened every six weeks or so, and it was a big deal, announced by the Michigan Lottery ahead of time as a marketing hook, a way to bring bettors into the game, and sure enough, players increased their bets on roll-down weeks, hoping to snag a piece of the jackpot.
The brochure listed the odds of various correct guesses. Jerry saw that you had a 1-in-54 chance to pick three out of the six numbers in a drawing, winning $5, and a 1-in-1,500 chance to pick four numbers, winning $100. What he now realized, doing some mental arithmetic, was that a player who waited until the roll-down stood to win more than he lost, on average, as long as no player that week picked all six numbers. With the jackpot spilling over, each winning three-number combination would put $50 in the player's pocket instead of $5, and the four-number winners would pay out $1,000 in prize money instead of $100, and all of a sudden, the odds were in your favor. If no one won the jackpot, Jerry realized, a $1 lottery ticket was worth more than $1 on a roll-down week—statistically speaking.
"I just multiplied it out," Jerry recalled, "and then I said, 'Hell, you got a positive return here.'"
This was an uncomfortable leap for a guy with no experience in gambling, but if he stopped now, he would never know if his theory was correct. During the next roll-down week, he returned to Mesick and made a larger bet, purchasing $3,400 in Winfall tickets. Sorting 3,400 tickets by hand took hours and strained his eyes, but Jerry counted them all right there at the convenience store so that Marge would not discover him. This time he won $6,300—an impressive 46 percent profit margin. Emboldened, he bet even more on the next roll-down, $8,000, and won $15,700, a 49 percent margin.
he lottery is like a bank vault with walls made of math instead of steel; cracking it is a heist for squares. And yet a surprising number of Americans have pulled it off. A 2017 investigation by the Columbia Journalism Review found widespread anomalies in lottery results, difficult to explain by luck alone. According to CJR's analysis, nearly 1,700 Americans have claimed winning tickets of $600 or more at least 50 times in the last seven years, including the country's most frequent winner, a 79-year-old man from Massachusetts named Clarance W. Jones, who has redeemed more than 10,000 tickets for prizes exceeding $18 million.
he and Marge were willing to do the grunt work, which, as it turned out, was no small challenge. Lottery terminals in convenience stores could print only 10 slips of paper at a time, with up to 10 lines of numbers on each slip (at $1 per line), which meant that if you wanted to bet $100,000 on Winfall, you had to stand at a machine for hours upon hours, waiting for the machine to print 10,000 tickets. Code in the purchase. Push the "Print" button. Wait at least a full minute for the 10 slips to emerge. Code in the next purchase. Hit "Print." Wait again. Jerry and Marge knew all the convenience store owners in town, so no one gave them a hard time when they showed up in the morning to print tickets literally all day. If customers wondered why the unassuming couple had suddenly developed an obsession with gambling, they didn't ask. Sometimes the tickets jammed, or the cartridges ran out of ink. "You just have to set there," Jerry said.
The Selbees stacked their tickets in piles of $5,000, rubber-banded them into bundles and then, after a drawing, convened in their living room in front of the TV, sorting through tens or even hundreds of thousands of tickets, separating them into piles according to their value (zero correct numbers, two, three, four, five). Once they counted all the tickets, they counted them again, just to make sure they hadn't missed anything. If Jerry had the remote, they'd watch golf or the History Channel, and if Marge had it, "House Hunters" on HGTV. "It looked extremely tedious and boring, but they didn't view it that way," recalled their daughter Dawn. "They trained their minds. Literally, they'd pick one up, look at it, put it down. Pick one up, put it down." Dawn tried to help but couldn't keep pace; for each ticket she completed, Jerry or Marge did 10.
That June, Jerry created a corporation to manage the group. He gave it an intentionally boring name, GS Investment Strategies LLC, and started selling shares, at $500 apiece, first to the kids and then to friends and colleagues in Evart. Jerry would eventually expand the roster to 25 members, including a state trooper, a parole officer, a bank vice president, three lawyers and even his personal accountant, a longtime local with a smoker's scratchy voice named Steve Wood. Jerry would visit Wood's storefront office downtown, twist the "Open" sign to "Closed," and seek his advice on how to manage the group.
And business was good. By the spring of 2005, GS Investment Strategies LLC had played Winfall on 12 different roll-down weeks, the size of the bets increasing along with the winnings. First $40,000 in profits. Then $80,000. Then $160,000. Marge squirreled her share away in a savings account. Jerry bought a new truck, a Ford F350, and a camping trailer that hooked onto the back of it. He also started buying coins from the U.S. Mint as a hedge against inflation, hoping to protect his family from any future catastrophe. He eventually filled five safe deposit boxes with coins of silver and gold.
A mathematics major in his final semester, Harvey had been researching lottery games for an independent study project, comparing the popular multistate games Powerball and MegaMillions to see which offered players a better shot at winning. He'd also analyzed different state games, including Cash WinFall, and it hadn't taken him long to spot its flaw: On a roll-down week, a $2 lottery ticket was worth more than $2, mathematically.
Within days, Harvey had recruited some 50 people to pony up $20 each, for a total of $1,000, enough to buy 500 Cash WinFall tickets for the February 7 roll-down drawing. The Patriots won the Super Bowl on February 6, and the following day, the MIT group took home $3,000, for a $2,000 profit.
Curiously enough, the MIT students weren't the only ones playing Cash WinFall for high stakes that day. A biomedical researcher at Boston University, Ying Zhang, had also discovered the flaw, after an argument with friends about the nature of the lottery. Believing it to be exploitative, Zhang had researched the Massachusetts State Lottery to bolster his point. Then he found the glitch in Cash WinFall, and as happens so often in America, a skeptic of capitalism became a capitalist. Zhang encouraged friends to play and formed his own betting club, Doctor Zhang Lottery Club Limited Partnership. His group began wagering between $300,000 and $500,000 on individual roll-down weeks, and eventually Zhang quit his job as a biomedical researcher to focus on the lottery full time. He bought tickets in bulk at a convenience store near his home, in the Boston suburb of Quincy, and stored the losing tickets in boxes in his attic until the weight made his ceiling crack.
As energetically as Zhang played the game, however, he couldn't match the budding lottery moguls at MIT. After the first roll-down, Harvey assembled 40 to 50 regular players—some of them professors with substantial resources—and recruited his classmate, Yuran Lu, to help manage the group. Lu was an electrical engineering, computer science and math major with a mischievous streak: one time, to make a point about security, he'd stolen 620 passwords from students and professors. Now he helped Harvey form a corporation, named Random Strategies LLC, after their dorm. Their standard wager on a roll-down week was $600,000—300,000 tickets. Unlike the Selbees, who allowed the computer to pick numbers for them ("Quic Pics"), the MIT students preferred to choose their own, which avoided duplicates but also meant that the students had to spend weeks filling in hundreds of thousands of tiny ovals on paper betting slips.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Breathe easy, Patriots fans. As expected, Tom Brady is active, and so is Rob Gronkowski.
The New England star quarterback and tight end were both listed as questionable heading into the team's game Sunday against the New York Jets.
Brady missed two days of practice with a knee injury, but returned Friday — although the Patriots were taking a wait-and-see approach. Gronkowski missed last week's game at San Francisco with a chest injury and it appeared early in the week that he would also miss this week, but he improved enough for the Patriots to make him active.
Tight end Martellus Bennett (ankle, shoulder) and wide receivers Julian Edelman (foot) and Chris Hogan (back) are also playing after being listed as questionable, making all of Brady's top targets available. — Dennis Waszak Jr. reporting from East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Thanks to my mom who picked out the numbers for the drawing, the winners of the library pocket books are:
Stephanie from The Written Word
Sara from Libromancy
Maggie from Maggie Reads
Congratulations! I hope you enjoy these. Send me an email with your address and I'll get these little books out to you. I do love making little books to give away which means I should think of more contests. Granted that would mean I need to work faster. Yikes.
Know why else a drum roll is needed today? I have started Emma by Jane Austen. I've only read one Jane Austen book (Northanger Abbey) so this is big news. Also, it's my first book for the Classics Challenge. Only 45 pages into it and I am thoroughly enjoying it.

Last month my younger cousin, Jenna, was in town from Florida and I wanted to do a special girls day with her. With both of us being slightly obsessed with lipsticks, I thought it would be a unique experience to take her to the BITE Beauty Lip Lab to create our own liptsicks.
There are two options when you go to the Lip Lab; the first is a custom lipstick where you choose an exclusive pre-made shade, the finish of the lipstick, and the scent. This will run you $55 for one lipstick or $80 for two. The second option, which we opted for, was the Be Spoke Service. It's $150 per person, but you get two lipsticks and you have the opportunity to create your own custom shade from scratch.
The whole process from start to finish was a lot of fun, and our artist Arielle did a fantastic job helping us create the perfect shades. We started out by mapping out what colour we were aiming for along with the finish of the lipstick (did we want it matte? Shiney? Or the Lip Lab exclusive finish, "Cuvee"?). Jenna opted for a bold red and a nude, while I wanted to get a berry red and a bold blue.
Arielle started mixing our colours one at a time, and from there we would try on the lipstick and decide how we wanted to proceed from there; did we want it lighter or darker? Did we want it to have a different undertone, ect. Once we were set on our final colours we had the opportunity to choose the scents of our lipsticks (I went with Cherry Lime while Jenna did one Cherry and one Vanilla), and then we got to watch Arielle mix out our shades into little containers and put them in their lipstick molds. The last step after that was to name the shades we had just created, and the names of the lipsticks got engraved onto the lids, which I thought was a nice touch.
At the end of our appointment, our lipsticks were packaged up into a little box and we also received a mini lip mask, cherry lip scrub, and lip liner. The whole experience was a lot of fun, and I'd highly recommend the Be Spoke service to anyone who is a makeup junkie or is looking for a unique shade – they can literally make every colour you can imagine. They also give you a card with the formula of your lipsticks written down on it, in case you want to re-buy it later.
Note : If you end up creating more than two shades that you enjoy, the additional lipsticks can be added for only $55 more.
