As Maurice Guillaux recovered from the August 1 crash of his aircraft (see Part 9 of this story), war broke out in Europe, plunging that continent into the conflict that would become known as The Great War. Guillaux recovered from his injuries within a few weeks, and his Blériot aircraft was repaired, but the French aviator began to realise that the time for aerial displays was over: crowds were beginning to wane and the public's attention was occupied by news of the war. Guillaux began to talk of returning to France, to help defend his homeland, and a newspaper article in the Perth Sunday Times on August 30 reported prematurely that he had already gone back to Europe. This erroneous report may have resulted from confusion between Guillaux and his translator/manager Lucien Maistre, who seems to have embarked for France some time in August.
Before he could depart, however, Guillaux had performance commitments to his new managers, Messrs. MacCullum Bros. and Treacy. After his recovery, he made a flight over Sydney on September 10, which included several loop-the-loops. Interviewed at this time, Guillaux spoke earnestly of his desire to participate in the war: "My one anxiety is to go to the front. The French airmen will show the Kaiser that he has a lot to learn in carrying on war in the clouds".
Originally scheduled for August 15, but delayed because of his accident, Maurice Guillaux' final public performance took place in Bathurst on Saturday September 12, with both pilot and aircraft back in top form after the August crash. In addition to his signature loop-the-loops, thrilling stunts and dives, Guillaux included a "demonstration of the use of planes in warfare"-apparently dropping (fake) bombs from the air onto targets on the ground. While in Bathurst, Guillaux stated that he planned to depart Australia on September 26, embarking on the Sonoma to return to France via the USA, but "thought it possible that me night be back in Australia again".
Guillaux' departure from Australia was actually delayed until October, so look out for the final instalment of this blog series next month, to discover the fate of the French aviator and how his plane ultimately came to the Powerhouse Museum. If you'd like to explore the newspaper reports of Guillaux' flights, which were drawn upon for this blogpost, you can find them by searching on the National Library of Australia's Trove Newspapers site. The Aviation Historical Society of Australia conducted a re-enactment of the first airmail flight between July 12-14.

In South Africa, instances of rape are all too frequent—one in every four male citizens admits to having nonconsensual intercourse. Recently, however, these sexual assaults have taken on a new character: many are now targeted at members of the LGBT community as attempts to 'cure' female victims of their homosexuality. This practice—deemed 'corrective rape'—has led to widespread violence and brutality.
Such incidents are rampant in South Africa, a country known for its progressive social tolerance and high standard of human rights, particularly for minority groups. Most notably, South Africa is the only country in Africa to have legalized same sex marriages. However, despite prodigious governmental strides towards equality, the country has witnessed a rising amount of attacks against homosexuals, mostly in the brutal form of "corrective rape."
The most widely recognized case of 'corrective rape' occurred in 2011, in an attack against Eudy Simelane, a former football star on South Africa's Banyana Banyana national team. On April 28, 2011, Simelane was found in a park on the outskirts of Johannesburg, brutally beaten, having been gang-raped, stabbed 25 times, and left half-naked to die. Despite the perpetrators' conviction, Simelane's case remains problematic. During the sentencing, the judge refused to recognize sexuality as an aggravating factor in the attack.
Eudy Simelane's 'corrective rape' was anomalous in the amount of international attention it received. A multitude of other victims live every day in fear and silence; the potential of an attack is a constant, haunting reality. Such conditions are not the conditions of equality, but rather of social oppression and hate.
By not recognizing the targeted manner of these 'corrective rapes,' South Africa's legal system is perpetuating the social inequalities that exist. It is not enough to recognize these rapes as merely sexual assaults; instead, they must be categorized for what they are—hate crimes. Until this occurs, social inequality and gross human rights violations will continue to persist for the LGBT community in South Africa.

Michael and Mandi (who is in advertising) met at her work event when he was working for a hospice company. At the final meeting, he asked her on a date and the rest is history. After three-and-a-half years together, the pair booked a tropical getaway to Cancun. Michael arranged a special dinner for two on a pier overlooking the beautiful turquoise water. Once the champagne was poured, he got down on one knee and proposed with the most beautiful and heartfelt words. The couple enjoyed an amazing dinner and spent the rest of the week celebrating.
The April wedding was held at the DeBordieu Club in Georgetown and featured an elegant bohemian theme with greenery and hints of gold throughout. The ceremony took place on the lawn under the beautiful trees overlooking the marsh, and Magnolia Photography captured the big day. Mandi's Essense of Australia dress, from The Gown Boutique of Charleston, featured a scalloped lace hem, a low back with buttons all the way down and beautiful lace on the train. She wore a flower crown as a nod to her mom, who wore one on her own wedding day. The bridesmaids also wore greenery crowns with their open-back, candlelight-colored Hayley Paige Occasions dresses. The groom and groomsmen wore midnight blue tuxedos with black lapels and black bowties.
The bride's bouquet by Carolina Charm featured white lisianthus, garden roses, peonies and lots of greenery. The hand-painted Save the Dates included a map of the Pawleys Island and Georgetown areas. Palmetto Strings provided the music for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and "A Whole New World" was played as the groom and bridal party entered the ceremony. The dining tables featured different sizes of white pillar candles, along with lots of greenery and gold plate chargers. The cake was created and gifted by Mr. & Mrs. Les Whitley, who previously owned Crady's in Conway, where the groom worked during high school. The guestbook featured photos of the couple throughout the years where guests could sign and write notes. The favors were the pair's favorite candies—Sour Patch Kids for her and trail mix for him. For the last song, Michael asked for "anything Whitney Houston." They closed the night out with "I Will Always Love You," as everyone moved off the floor for the couple to dance and Michael to serenade Mandi, even getting down on one knee. The pair left in a gorgeous 1948 Packard from Carolina Limousine.

Kalleas' kittens, kissed by an Angel
Southern Road Kallea
CFF registered~ Old Style Siamese
Kallea came to me as quite a surprise as Kallea was a visiting Queen to my cattery and was only to be bred for a friend! I am forever grateful for Brianna from Kokiri cattery for recognizing my hearts desire and allowing my family to keep this girl forever. She has bloodlines that I have been pursuing for several years. The Permes Gizmo line is an old and healthy line. Permes Gizmo is Kallea's grandfather. In addition to this outstanding healthy male, there are many other outcrossed lines not in my cattery. We are so excited to see Kallea's kittens this year. Kallea does not carry the long haired gene so all of her kittens will always be Siamese Seal and Chocolate Points.

Books changing into out of date and disappearing altogether appears quite far fetched, however is it? St. Jude Catholic College in Indianapolis maintained the steadiness between technology upgrades and reasonably priced tuition by introducing Google Classroom and Chromebooks to their college students and faculty. Adding Worth for Your Purchasers: JP Lewis spoke with panelists Tristan Ahumada, Nick Baldwin of Lab Coat Brokers, and Keller Williams associate Carissa Acker about how agents can leverage technology to add worth" for their client and potential clients before, during and after the transaction. A Stevens training culminates in a Senior Design Undertaking and Innovation Expo featuring thoughts-blowing scholar research. By way of Heidegger's philosophical method to the essence of technology it's obvious that Heidegger does not need to discover the essence of something however to rather search for the essence without an answer. Some displays go beyond excessive definition like Apple's Thunderbolt Show which has a 2560×1440 decision.
You probably did an important job of covering new applied sciences, however I don't think Apple is great example for illustrating new hardware technology. We now, for the first time ever, have the technology and assets essential to make the world an awesome place for everybody. From the stitching machine that make sewing by hand a factor of the go, to research on the human body, technology has served society in many various ways. Other group members included Regina Jorgenson (UCSD graduate pupil in physics); Carl Heiles (professor of astronomy at UC Berkeley); Timothy Robishaw (graduate student at Berkeley).
As technology is used more and more for school work, it is going to be necessary for youngsters to concentrate on plagiarism in order that they'll take steps to keep away from it, beginning immediately. It is a great blog and you're so proper technology has helped us alongside as a society however has additionally introduced some unhealthy issues like crime and identity theft.
A prime-degree executive of Microsoft Jean-Philippe Courtois, President of Microsoft Worldwide (a gross sales and companies unit masking a hundred and ten countries), paid a visit to Tallinn University of Technology (TUT) on June 7.

Paramavatar Shri Krishna 5th April 2018 Written Episode, Written Update on TellyUpdates.com
The episode starts with all gods, mahadev, brahma dev, saraswati, hanuman and everyone seeing kanha pick the govardhan while also playing the flute. Kanha plays flute and all women and radha dance as people sing prayer for govardhan mountain. Rishi sings song for mata kamdhenu cow as yashoda and nand pray to govardhan mountain. All people say govardhan parvat ki jai. Suddenly ladoos appear in a plate, balram sees and says kanha I will eat laddoo, till then you hold the mountain, kanha smiles as balram and all people eat laddoo.
In devlok, as indra dev attacks Vajra astra on govardhan, kanha closes his eyes and reverses the attack, indra dev falls down unconscious. Guru Brihaspati, guru of gods appears and he resuscitates indra dev. indra dev gets up and says pranam guru var! Brihaspati
says what are you doing devraj? Do you have any idea with whom you are fighting? Indra dev says that kid is some cheap mayavi kid, he is planning against devlok. Brihaspati says no devraj stop! He says he is not some kid, that kid is kanha, he is the form of prabhu shri hari Narayana Vishnu himself! Indra dev is shocked. Brihaspati says you were trying to kill kanha and that mountain but no power in this universe can do that, he is the one who has made us all! Suddenly kanha appears with a shadow of lord Vishnu. All gods do pranam and indra dev falls on his knees and cries, he says prabhu forgive me, I allowed my ego to take control of me, I have done a crime, you made me and guided me, you are my prabhu and I couldn't recognize you. Kanha says indra dev you did a mistake and forgiveness shall always be there for those who do mistakes, indra dev says no prabhu, I have sinned and deserve to be punished. Kanha says indra dev remember that if you have great power even your responsibility becomes great. Indra dev says prabhu I promise that from this moment I shall use my powers to do good in this world and universe! Kanha blesses and disappears.
There the rains stop and people say indra de must have understood his mistake. Kanha says to everyone, go out from under the govardhan mountain. Yashoda says but kanha, I will not leave you, you will be under govardhan. Kanha says mother god is with me and you only say that if god is with someone, nothing can happen to them. All people go out from under govardhan. Mata kamdhenu says to kanha, prabhu I was grateful to be a part of your leela on govardhan mountain. Kanha says mata kamdhenu, you protected your children and I am thankful for that. Kanha keeps mountain down and he goes with the people back to vrindavan.
In vrindavan, all people praise lord Vishnu and govardhan mountain and they dance and sing. As all people sing and dance, a group of rishi's led by a rishi come and the rishi comes and says stop all this. Kanha says but what happened rishi? Rishi says only vedic dharma is the greatest dharma, kanha says what you say is right but not entirely, vedic dharma is followed but people follow various dharma. Rishi says no kid, you don't understand such things. Kanha says but rishi my mother says be it any dharma, all gods are one even though there are many gods. Rishi says shut up kid, I want to talk about this to nand! Where is his house? Tell me. Kanha tells the rishi and he goes with all rishi's to nand's house.
There kansa is in his palace and he asks his soldiers, who all of you are my bhakts? All soldiers say we are your bhakt bhagwan kansa, they say bhagwan kansa ki jai! Kansa says no stop. Kansa gets angry and says if you were my true disciples then you would know of a coming danger on me. Kansa asks one solder, where is Vishnu? Soldier says if Vishnu is on earth, he is in the form of a child. Kansa gets angry and kills the soldier and says you all are fake, kansa says Vishnu I will find you.
There yashoda and kirti are in kitchen making govardhan's Prasad. Nand and brij bhanu come and say govardhan protected us and a huge trouble has gone from vrindavan, kanha saved us. Yashoda says that is why we are making this Prasad and nand ji distribute it in entire vrindavan. The rishi comes with other rishi's and says that is wrong. Nand welcomes them and says sit down for food rishi's. rishi says no nand, we want to know who your kid kanha is, from which mother was he born? What is his gotra? His kul? Until we know about that, we will not sit and have food. Kanha comes and says I will give the answer to that.
Precap: Rishi says nand sacrifice your son kanha. Nand is shocked. There keshari tells kansa the idea to know vishnu's identity on earth, she tells him to go to dhara, the mother of all, she will know.

Holidays, Good or Bad for Real Estate Business (LA 879)
Steven Butala: Steve and Jill here.
Jill DeWit: Hello.
Steven Butala: Welcome to the Land Academy show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala.
Jill DeWit: I'm Jill DeWit broadcasting from sunny southern California.
Steven Butala: Today, Jill and I talk about, "Are the holidays good or bad for the real estate business?" I have to tell you, for 10 years, Jill and I have had a differing opinion on this, so this time we're going to actually go look back at the data …
Jill DeWit: Okay.
Steven Butala: … look back at what's happened and probably not settle it at all. Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on LandInvestors.com online community, it's free.
Jill DeWit: Greg asks, "Hi, folks. Say I want to set up an LLC before I start. This has multiple reasons. I'm determined to get into this business …"
Steven Butala: Excellent.
Jill DeWit: "… so being a non-resident, I really want to have my LLC in place first. One question for sure is," excuse me, "one question is for sure in which state to found." I'm sorry. I don't understand. "From what I've read so far," oh, what state to found your LLC, got it. "From what I've read so far, Arizona and Nevada are good ones, but why? I also read that you have to register for a foreign LLC for every state you're doing business with. Or, another recommendation I got was, just do an LLC in the state you want to work with. But if I'm targeting multiple states, does this mean that I have to found or register a foreign LLC in every state. Maybe someone can clarify this a little, since this for me has been a bit of a blocker. Thanks."
Steven Butala: I'll try to be … this is not typically … well, I'll try to answer these questions directly. The reason that you form an LLC is for legal reasons but there's tax implications too and then there's, let's call them, secrecy issues on top of it. Let's tackle them one by one. Number one, an LLC in any state is going to serve the legal function for you so that is to say if a real estate deal goes bad and the property's in the name of the LLC, the person who is upset about whatever on either side of the transaction sues the LLC, they don't sue you personally as the owner of the property. That's good and it doesn't matter what state that's in.
Number two, tax reasons. The tax implications of where you form an LLC generally don't matter. It's where you live that you have to file a state tax return and if you've got it structured the way that Jill and I do, it all rolls up into one anyway. So, where you live and where your offices are and all that, that's where you generally … in general, these are all general … don't take my word for it, this is just my opinion.
Then, the third reason is, and that's where this state to state to state issue consistently comes up is why … can someone track me down if I own an LLC? If I own Large Land Business in Nevada, it's a lot harder to find the fact that Steve Butala owns that LLC in Nevada and in Delaware. There are state laws that govern who … what's public information and what's not. In Arizona, it's a 10 second Google search to find out who owns what. Jill and I we don't hide. All of our LLCs are in Arizona, with exception of a couple so that's what this LLC business is all about. That's said, Jill's going to agree with me here, we've already spent too much time on this topic in my opinion. I don't mean to pick on the person that asked the question, just get one done.
If you are going to get into this business and it sounds like you are, you're going to have many, many LLCs. Jill and I file for them all the time. You don't have to make this one perfect. Go get an Arizona LLC, here's my direct recommendation, go get an Arizona LLC on the internet and if it takes you 15 minutes, something's really wrong. You'll get all the paperwork back, sign the stuff, you now have an LLC that you put property in and your done. Check. Next, get a phone number. Check. Next, all the stuff to get … we talk about this in 2.0.
Jill DeWit: Mm-hmm (affirmative).
Steven Butala: Takes maybe 15, not 15 minutes. Maybe two hours on a weekday to get every single thing done to get you started. So, it's a good question and it comes up a lot, but hopefully I answered it directly.
Jill DeWit: Mm-hmm (affirmative). I think you did.
Steven Butala: Do you have anything?
Jill DeWit: Nope.
Steven Butala: Good for you, how lucky are you? You get the next question tomorrow.
Jill DeWit: Thanks.
Steven Butala: Today's topic, are the holidays good or bad for the real estate business? This is the meat of the show. What does this mean to you, Jill? 'Cause I know you and I have differing opinions on this.
Jill DeWit: Some people think that being in real estate means you close up for the holidays and you just take December off and just plan on nothing happening. I never even try for it, I never plan for it and every year I'm pleasantly surprised because we have properties bought, we have properties sold. Our business does not shut down for the holidays. So, that's my point. Seriously. You used to have that mindset, please, let's back up and say, "Why did you feel the way you did?"
Steven Butala: Well, because my roots are in commercial real estate.
Jill DeWit: Okay.
Steven Butala: After that, professional accounting and consulting. All through there are undertones of acquisitions, like being a vice president of acquisitions. I was always in an acquisition capacity in those things and it absolutely shuts down. I mean, it shuts down from December 15th to the point where it's like, "You know what? I think this might be over."
Jill DeWit: Does it shut down or do people shut it down?
Steven Butala: Professional people generally stop working at around December 15th and start working again around January 5th.
Jill DeWit: Do you do that?
Steven Butala: Heck, no.
Jill DeWit: But you're a professional.
Steven Butala: Well, I also own my own company and have a bunch of people working for me.
Jill DeWit: I know, that's what I'm saying.
Steven Butala: I mean people who have vice president jobs who work for someone else, executive level positions. They're just done.
Jill DeWit: Right. I don't want to get into an argument on the air but this is what I'm saying, I'm not working with them. I'm dealing with buyers and sellers and the people I'm dealing with, they have a lot of time off between the holidays. Maybe that's why I feel the way I do, 'cause you know what? There are people trolling our website on December 26th because presents are all done and the family's driving them nuts and they're looking for properties or something. They're online and they're actually checking out buying stuff in December.
Steven Butala: All right. You can't argue with that.
Jill DeWit: Well, it's funny, I remember my mom even at way back when real estate days, she would say too that was … you could write an offer on Christmas Eve. Things like that do happen. It's not crazy. When I think about it, maybe it is slower and maybe there's less people but for those of us who show up, fine, I'm going to get those sales.
Steven Butala: I think for the Land Academy business, our Land Academy business, I think that December's usually a good month. I think for land sales, I think it's historically slightly down. I guess to answer the question, are holidays good or bad for the real estate business? I think it depends on what you're doing. If you're buying info lots, and selling them to a builder, which is what we've been doing lately, I'm not so sure this is the best time to do that.
Jill DeWit: That's fair.
Steven Butala: If you're buying and selling or leasing office space, I can tell you from experience in any commercial capacity, if you're acquisitions for apartment buildings or any of that, it almost is a dead stop or dead slow.
Jill DeWit: That's fair. Right.
Steven Butala: The education business, the Land Academy part, it's good.
Jill DeWit: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Thank you. How about just buying and selling land?
Steven Butala: I think it's a great time to buy land, but I think sales are slower. That's just my opinion.
Jill DeWit: Got it. Either way, still it's worth showing up, isn't it?
Steven Butala: I think it's a great time to catch up on … what I do at the end of the year, I'm into it right now, I think it's December 24 today, is just planning. I take the down time to plan where I want to be in December in 2019.
Jill DeWit: That's good.
Steven Butala: Schedule it all out. Scheduling.
Jill DeWit: That's good.
Steven Butala: That's actually another show this week, I think.
Jill DeWit: What about the chances of finding another home run by the end of the year because someone needs to get some property out of their life by the end of the year?
Steven Butala: You know what I've noticed over the years, I'm glad you bring that up, there used to be just this mad rush at the end of December for tax planning purposes to do stuff. I just don't see people running around like that anymore.
Jill DeWit: Okay.
Steven Butala: Maybe I travel in different circles? I don't know.
Jill DeWit: Okay. That's partially where I'm coming from too 'cause I've had those experiences so gosh, I'm ready for a phone call on December 28th going, "If we can get this completed by the 31st …"
Steven Butala: From a seller?
Jill DeWit: Uh-huh. "I'll give you this and this and this 'cause I got to get them off my books."
Steven Butala: Yeah, I guess you know I understand your point. We're both … you come from a sales background, I come from an accounting background and those are both very fiscal, decisions are made based on the 29th of the month kind of thing.
Jill DeWit: Mm-hmm (affirmative), exactly.
Steven Butala: So, I guess it's all what you make of it.
Jill DeWit: Mm-hmm (affirmative). So, we didn't really answer the question at all, did we?
Steven Butala: Well, I think we surely did. If you lease office space and that's your thing, it's dead slow.
Jill DeWit: Right.
Steven Butala: If you buy apartment buildings, dead slow.
Jill DeWit: Right. How about houses? What do you think about that in general? I think honestly, I think if I was a general real estate agent buying and selling houses, I would venture to guess that the holidays, maybe not the right time but people are moving at that time. Seems like summer time or when the kids are … I think of school kids school schedules. People have time off to look at stuff around the holidays.
Steven Butala: That's the thing. Researching and buying and selling houses is my hobby. It's a sport for me the way that going to a movie is.
Jill DeWit: Right.
Steven Butala: Christmas day is the biggest movie going day ever in the whole season, isn't it? Christmas or thanksgiving?
Jill DeWit: Something like that, yeah.
Steven Butala: When I have down time, I'm constantly looking for new markets to send mail in. But that's me. Like we just said, it's what you make it. I think the regular consumer probably thinks that moving and buying a house is a huge chore.
Jill DeWit: It's true.
Steven Butala: It's not something that they want to do on their day off.
Jill DeWit: Yeah.
Steven Butala: So, I don't know. I should research this. Our sales numbers have not … I looked back on it, our land sales numbers have not materially been different in December. In fact, our lowest sales numbers are in the deep summer.
Jill DeWit: Is that funny? That's where I feel it. I feel that's what's so true. I feel that in the summertime when the kids are off school and everyone's taking vacations like July and August …
Steven Butala: Yeah, July and August.
Jill DeWit: … are rough months for us in a lot of areas of our business. People are just not thinking about work, they're just having fun.
Steven Butala: Right. Right.
Jill DeWit: It's interesting. I think maybe that's part of it in December, people don't usually have months off at a time. They only have days or weeks off.
Steven Butala: Yeah.
Jill DeWit: It's not as much time.
Steven Butala: So, I guess what we're both saying is, and for the group of people that listen to this show regularly, don't stop.
Jill DeWit: Yeah.
Steven Butala: Do not stop. Don't stop sending mail out for sure 'cause if you send a mailer out now, it's going to hit in mid-January which is great. That's when I really think … you know what? Send mail out now …
Jill DeWit: That's what I think.
Steven Butala: … because in the beginning of January, everybody's planning and thinking about stuff and they want to get rid of that property at that point.
Jill DeWit: Making some big changes.
Steven Butala: Yeah.
Jill DeWit: Maybe they're going to buy their retirement property or whatever in January.
Steven Butala: Yeah, or maybe they met with their family over the holidays and …
Jill DeWit: They want to move.
Steven Butala: … they want to sell all their stuff.
Jill DeWit: They want to really go off the grid. They want to hide from their family now.
Steven Butala: Well, you've done it again, spent another- go ahead.
Jill DeWit: No, [inaudible].
Steven Butala: You've spent another 15 minutes or so listening to the Land Academy show. Join us next time for this topic. You must be dedicated if you're listening on Christmas day.
Jill DeWit: We answer your question posted on our online community, LandInvestors.com, it's free.
Steven Butala: You are not alone in your real estate ambition.
Jill DeWit: What I was going to say is one thing I've learned here is just to never assume.
Steven Butala: Yep.
Jill DeWit: That's really the point to make here over the holidays. If you think you can just close up shop, nothing's going to happen, turn off your phone and go to voicemail, you might miss something good. Never assume that nothing good's going to come of it. Just still be available and around and in your business.
Steven Butala: You know, you had Joe Martin, one of our members who just quit his job, a very, very good job, on your live show …
Jill DeWit: Last week.
Steven Butala: … on yeah, just recently.
Jill DeWit: On Wednesday.
Steven Butala: You had him on your, I want to say, is it on YouTube yet?
Jill DeWit: Yeah, it's on YouTube by now, yes, it's on YouTube now.
Steven Butala: You had some … people typed in questions and what the underlying theme was, what is it? 'Cause you're obviously killing it. He's making 100000 dollars … not average, but he has made in his [crosstalk].
Jill DeWit: On a transaction.
Steven Butala: Per transaction so, the underlying question was why and how, what makes you so different? What I heard him say was, "I just never gave myself any other option."
Jill DeWit: Yeah.
Steven Butala: I get up at 5:00 in the morning until it just happened.
Jill DeWit: Exactly.
Steven Butala: Did you hear anything else? What do you think was so … I wonder what he's doing this holiday season, is he sitting around? I doubt it.
Jill DeWit: Last I heard he was renting a house somewhere and going to be on a balmy beach relaxing and still working on his business, but from a very great location since he doesn't have to show up anywhere anymore.
Steven Butala: I see.
Jill DeWit: That was the last what I heard. I think you're right, I think he just did it and what was great, he said a couple times, "Yeah, I had mailers that failed. So what? I fixed it, I moved on."
Steven Butala: Yeah.
Jill DeWit: I had spent some time on it, I figured it out. We all agree too, and it's still a process 'cause once you figure out one county, now you're in another county and there's some nuances there. So, you're always learning and tweaking but he also said too, he's finally got himself in a position where he can now do the stuff he's good at and he's really enjoying that. He's building a little team.
Steven Butala: Right.
Jill DeWit: That's great.
Steven Butala: Man, I know that feeling.
Jill DeWit: Exactly.
Steven Butala: Man, once you get over that hump where you don't have to do the deed yourself and some other that just have one assistant, I remember that first assistant that I hired. It was a life altering two weeks where all the stuff that I was doing I could just hand to her and tell her how to do it and it was just the greatest thing ever. This was back in, geez, 1999 probably.

Chapter 0190 – Mechanical Bird Beast
Translator: Yorasu | Editor: RED
Su Hao tabbed a few times on the virtual screen and then entered exchange system of the Piao Ling Organization.
Basic fighting technique…
Police fighting technique…
Military fighting technique…
What the task store in the school had was all present here, as well.
Interestingly, these killing points weren't much different from the school's task points in terms of value. It was just that, in addition the the law abiding items, there were also countless strange items. Su Hao even saw something which he was very familiar with.
Decomposing water – 100 killing points!
"100 points!"
Su Hao frowned. This was really cheap.
Su Hao deeply understood the function of this item. It was basically useless in battle, but cleaning up any trace afterwards would be very efficient. Whether it was a corpse or any other item, they would decompose without even leaving dust behind. Never would have he thought that the so-called legendary decomposing water was this cheap at only 100 points!
Scrolling down, Su Hao's eyes widened.
All kinds of magical items were listed. Basically, as long as you could think of anything, you would be able to buy it here. Whether it was a regular drug or black market drug, everything were listed here!
As long as you paid enough killing points!
"Eh?" While Su Hao looked at the lists in a daze, he noticed an item. It was a bottle of an ordinary drug. From outer appearance, there wasn't anything interesting or special.
But the description below was what made Su Hao's eyes shine!
Body forging drug.
This was a drug specifically prepared for espers to train in the body forging technique and could greatly enhance the stimulation of origin ability energy. The damage produced while training would be reduced, which improved the overall effect of the body forging technique training.
Duration: 3 days
Value: 1500 points.
"It turns out to enhance the body forging technique!"
How could Su Hao not be surprised!
Out of every form of training, what he worried about the most was the body forging technique. This was because this thing could only progress slowly. No matter how good your talent, you still needed to spend a long time to sharpen it.
In a month of non-stop training, the effect of body forging technique only barely passed half. With such a rate, how long would he need to complete the training?
He didn't know!
And this time, there was this in front!
1500 killing points!
Su Hao didn't know how precious this killing point were. He wouldn't care even if he knew. Because all these killing points were just extra earnings while he was at it. After considering a moment, he chose to buy it without any more hesitation.
Ding! "Purchase complete!"
Just that… how would he obtain the item?
Express delivery?
No matter what it was, it would expose his identity. This was too dangerous. If the Piao Ling Organization knew that he was pretending to be their killer, he would most probably be killed!
However, it turned out that he worried for nothing.
The Piao Long Organization, only when you officially became an outer disciple would a thorough investigation be carried out. Only when you were cleared by the investigation would the organization invite you to join them. In order to consider the safety of its members, besides the DNA activation communication device, there wouldn't be any more contact.
Moreover, the Piao Ling Organization, as such a powerful killing organization, wouldn't they take this into account?
"Detected your location in Jianghe City!"
"Random selection of point in Jianghe City… selection completed, coordinate xxx, xxx… please go to designed location to take the item at midnight sharp later…password: 9527. Three wrong attempts will cause an automatic explosion. Please be there on time."
Only one huge map was displayed on the screen with a red dot showing the coordinates clearly.
"Interesting!" Su Hao smiled. "Such a method, as long as I take the item on time, then it will be alright. Just that I won't know who is sending the item."
That night…
Su Hao had long ago rushed to the designated location and hid in the shadows.
When the time was 11.59 pm, a small bird appeared in sky. Its claws were holding a small box. Dropping it on the location, it then flew away.
The little bird's figure disappeared!
"Mechanical bird beast, even comes with stealth mode."
He was pretty much accustomed to stealth objects, like the invisible car. But this was his first time ever personally witnessing the automatic delivery mechanical bird beast .
This world was indeed large and full of extraordinary things!
Making sure that nobody was around, Su Hao went to open the box. Entering the password, he then took out the bottle of medicine from within. 1 minute later, the box was automatically destroyed, disappearing without any trace.
Su Hao's mind went cold.
This thing… it should have a mechanism similar to decomposing water!
The Piao Ling Organization was getting more and more mysterious.
Since the item was in his possession, it was time for him to leave the scene quickly.
At this time of night, there wasn't a single person nearby. Su Hao directly headed home. At this time, his sister and mother had all gone to sleep. Looking at the bottle of medicine in his hand, Su Hao decided to recover back from his mental fatigue before using it.
A day seemed to be short.
For him, it was full of danger! While protecting Chen Yiran, he still had to conceal his identity at the same time. This wasn't an easy task! The confrontation with Chou Yan at the very end which was out of his plan had been just a thin line separating life and death. Not to mention, jumping from a rooftop which was hundreds of meters high, that critical moment which depended on Blue Dream Butterfly…
Lying on his bed, Su Hao gradually felt asleep.
The next morning, when he woke up, the sun had already risen.
"Bro, you awake now?" Walking into the living room, sister Su Ling laughed at him.
"En." Su Hao looked at her with a weird expression, "Brat, today you're not going to school?"
"Bro, two days later there will be mid term exam!" Su Ling rolled her eyes. She then took out the food from the microwave and put it in front of Su Hao. Sounding unsatisfied, she said, "Heng, you didn't come back for so many days. You really don't care about our family."
Su Hao smiled and eat the food while not forgetting to praise her, "Today the food is great. Brat, you cooked it right? It is much better than the one mum always cooks."
"Bro, how can you say like this about our mum?" Su Ling rolled her eyes even though she was secretly happy to receive a compliment from her brother. Then, she suddenly thought of something, "Bro, you know how to play the piano, right?"
Su Hao nearly sprayed out his rice."How did you know?"
"Qie!" Su Ling said in anger, "You even dare to hide it from me. This rumor hasd already spread like wildfire. Something along the line of 'prince of piano'. There were even some who were asking me for your communication number. No wonder when I asked you anything that day, you didn't say anything! Hmmpphh!"
Sweat formed on his forehead.
Su Hao was embarrassed. He didn't expect that this matter would have such big after-effect.
"You didn't come back home for such a long time and yet, you brought trouble to me." Su Ling then continued, "I don't care. You have to give me compensation."
Su Hao was dumbfounded and rubbed his sister's head.
"Bro, my hair is going to get messy!" Su Ling was dissatisfied with him again.
"Well, two days before the exam, why don't I spar with you?" Su Hao smiled.
"Really?" Su Ling's eyes lit up.
Her brother usually would only come back once or twice a month. Then, after a short time, he would be gone again. This time, he actually going to be here for such a long time?
"En, of course." Su Hao smiled, "Who is the one who said I never care about my family!"
"Hate you!" Su Ling was flustered and cleaned up the dishes. "I will go wash the dishes."
After the meal, Su Hao accompanied his sister into the training room. He had to admit this girl's progress once again surprised him!
It was worth to note that when Chen Yiran was in her third year, her origin ability was only 9 points!
And this time, Su Ling who was just in her second year, had already exceeded Chen Yiran. Based on his sister's words, her aim was the best in school, save for those private students who hadn't appeared yet. During the mock exam for the natural selection class, she wanted to be like Su Hao and grab the first spot.
Of course, the consequences of saying so in front of Su Hao was that her hair, which she just tidied up, was promptly messed up by Su Hao yet again.
After sparring with Su Ling a few times, when it was time for her to cultivate, Su Hao then went back to his room.
Body forging drug…now was the time to use it!
Opening the bottle, a trace of a strange light appeared within the mouth of the bottle. It had a mysterious feeling to it. There wasn't any odor coming out of the bottle. Su Hao grit his teeth and drank it all up.
Under the influence of the drug, a strong current was moving within his body. Su Hao groaned and fought back the pain, leading the current to every part of his body. Then, following the training of the body forging technique, he began to cultivate!
With just one action, an instant influx of energy spread throughout his body. That horrifying current nearly made him faint to the floor.
The stimulation from origin ability energy was enhanced more than tenfold!
Just a moment and he was about to collapse. Not only was Su Hao not depressed, he was extremely excited! More than tenfold… this meant that the body forging technique which required a few months to complete originally, might potentially be completed in a few days now!
Su Hao without any hesitation started to attempt breaking through.
The weak current in his body began pulsing. Even from outside, you could see the vague power of the terrifying current!
One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six! Seven! Eight!
Su Hao did every action step by step. It was truly difficult, and he even occasionally lost his balance and nearly fell to the ground. Under these difficult circumstances, his body forging technique began to slowly advance. Under the strong influence of origin ability energy, Su Hao's physical fitness began to rapidly increase!
Su Hao was like those gymnasts, he moved in such an unbelievable way. His whole body was flashing from the current.
Fully immersed in training, Su Hao began to get carried away.
Unnoticeably, his level physical fitness began to slowly improve…

From Revive Music
Glasper, Moran Kick Off Blue Note's 75th Year at the NYC Winter Jazzfest
By Matthew Allen
Blue Note Records is 75 years old. To see how far it's come, you don't have to just look at the unparalleled catalog of timeless music it's produced during that time'" classics from Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter to Norah Jones and Al Green. If you were lucky enough to be at the Town Hall in New York City on a Wednesday in January, all you had to do was observe the attire of pianists Robert Glasper and Jason Moran. Both had donned black tuxedos and shell top Adidas.
Such a striking fashion statement speaks to the nature of Moran's and Glasper's artistry, not to mention the very ideal that has kept Blue Note relevant all this time'" the embrace of past traditions, an emphasis on present styles, and a thoughtful combination of both in an eye-catching and long-lasting presentation. This one-night-only performance not only jump started what is to be a year's worth of celebratory events to mark the label's landmark anniversary, but also the hotly anticipated and extended 2014 Winter Jazzfest.
The two-hour show began with Glasper and Moran playing on matching Steinway grand pianos, a hat tip to Blue Note's very first studio session with Albert Ammons and Lux Lewis back in 1939. To that effect, their first song was a medley from that session, 'Easy Rider Blues/Boogie-Woogie Stomp.' Indeed, blues and boogie-woogie were just what they'd been serving up, with Glasper riding the rhythm and Moran attacking the keys with maddening solo skills. All together, the two played five extended pieces, including a touching tribute to their moms that found them taking turns running down slow gospel licks on a Fender Rhodes.

Epic says wait till end of April
So for most the season is over.
And for a lot of us, who are passholders, we are losing A LOT of the season. Just wondering what your resorts are doing for passholders to make up for the lost portion of the season (if anything).
Burke offered a $200 credit to passholders; $50 credit for those who had other products.
Live, Ski, or Die!
Epic says wait till end of April
I dont know. I get the argument for a refund but smaller areas probably can ill afford refunds. Id prefer to let it go and give them a stronger chance of remaining open. This was something not in their control, like bad spring weather.
Sent from my iPad using AlpineZone
Except for places like Killington that offered special passes for spring, is there really a need to refund passes? You had til mid march to use your pass, if you didn't get use out of it by then, that's on you
Was I going to use it more? Absolutely I had planned on going to at least Jack Frost and maybe even somewhere further north through the end of March and into April.
Ski Visits in PA 38
Ski Visits in VT 6
Ski Visits in CO 4
Total Ski Visits 48
However, in extreme cases like this, I believe that the costs are to be shared by everyone, including the customer. If Jay Peak was to issue a partial refund, it would have to be on the back of additional layoffs or diminished benefits for workers. So I'm totally fine with getting no refund.
They have graciously offered the following for pass holders renewing next year, as well as extreme flexibility for refunds. I think this is more than fair, as I don't believe they actually had to do any of that.
- A Golf round, including cart (up to $105 value).
- A day pass to the Pump House Indoor Waterpark ($41 value).
- Two tickets to the Clips & Reels Movie Theatre ($10 value).
- A transferable lift ticket for the 2020+21 Ski/Ride Season (up to $89 value).

*** Update - This market is no longer running in Portugal***
Barão de São João is a hippie market-based in the Algarve of Portugal and runs every last Sunday of every month. It is one of the most energetic, colourful, vibrant and loving markets I have ever been too and the memories of this place will stay with me forever.
The market is situated in the small village and unites groups of mainly vandwellers who escaped 'normal' society. They collectively meet here to share their handcrafted goods amongst the laughs, smiles and love. The market is international and we met people from all different walks of life from Israel, France, Germany, UK and Portugal to name a few. We even bumped into a lot of other vandwellers we met along our journey and it was as though the community had gathered here altogether, to enjoy this incredible event.
The market is run by vandwellers who can pitch and sell their items for free and is open to anyone who wants to have a go at selling their pieces or share their unique talent. Some people do this for a living either full time or part time, to provide an income whilst travelling on the road. One lady was selling her services as a hairdresser and she had a long queue outside her van which was lovely too see. Another gentlemen were selling on the spot poetry from his typewriter and would share individual poems to the receiver and read the heartwarming poems aloud in front of the crowds.
What can you find at the market?
- An array of Plant-based, vegetarian & Vegan Dishes
- Hand Crafted Jewellery made from Silver, Gold Oak and Wood Cork to name a few
- Artists providing heartwarming performances and unique entertainment
- Organic Fruit & Vegetables
- Lots of love and heart hugs from everyone 😀
- People playing instruments from the foot of their vans
- Unique and creative vans and vandwellers
- Areas for children to get creative and bond
- Paintings & Personalised handcrafts
- Services such as haircuts & Tattoos Poetry
- Alternative medicines such as Herbs & CBD oil
- Dancing around the Campfires and good singalong.
Location of the Market
Date: Every 4th Sunday of every month.
Address: Sports area, Recinto do Polidesportivo, Barão de São João
Looks like great fun and still the sun shines! xx
Great photos.

Bridgewater Township, New Jersey
By 1917 the first wave of the Great Migration - the widespread exodus of African Americans from the oppressive conditions of the rural South to the major Northern cities - was in full swing. Seeking economic opportunity and freedom of self-expression, over a half million black men and women left the South, bringing family and friends to a new and uncertain world. Reverend Amos Hobbs Sr. was in that early movement.
Amos was raised in Schley and Marion counties, in west Georgia. His parents, Perry Hobbs (1831-1903) and Charlot Stewart Hobbs (1842-?) were born enslaved. US Census records from 1870-1910 reveal 15 children born during their 50-year marriage.
The extended Hobbs family lived in and around the towns of Buena Vista, Doyle, Ellaville, Lickskillet and Ty-Ty as recorded from the mid 1800's. Amos was a tenant farmer and an ordained minister. He married Frances Hicks in 1903.
Amos arrived in Brooklyn, New York sometime during late 1918, and found work on the construction of the BMT subway. He was one of the organizing members of Cornerstone Baptist Church. Over the next two years he made infrequent trips back to see his wife and children in Doyle.
By 1920 Amos had sent for Frances and the family, settling them in a small apartment on Lorimer Street in Brooklyn. He learned of land for sale in Bridgewater, New Jersey, and he traveled with his wife to view the site. Oral history reports that Frances said, "This is it! Just like home." Amos Hobbs signed a contract for purchase.
"In 1910, the Weston Park Realty Company of New York laid out a development in Bridgewater to the west of Somerville Road (now North Bridge Street). They called the development Somerville Manor. The lots were vacant and primarily 20' by 100'…
Among the first to purchase some of this land were Amos Hobbs and his brothers, (General W Hobbs and Robert Hobbs) and they were the first to build homes there. It was then that the name of Hobbstown was given to the area."
Evelyn S. Field. Family & Friends Reunion Journal, August 4-6, 1995.
Reverend Amos Hobbs followed the traditions of the Great Migration; working, saving, encouraging his brothers to come north, helping one another to build new lives. General George Washington Hobbs was married to Viola Person. They were living in Ty-Ty, Georgia. General was tenant farming and Viola managed a growing family. General decided to join Amos in a push for self-sufficiency. Robert too, was eager for change.
And on a cool evening in April 1920, Amos, General and Robert set up camp on the dirt road that cut off from the old Somerville Road (North Bridge Street). By the light of lanterns and a fire, they walked out the perimeter of the foundation for Amos' house.
General was a skilled carpenter. He and Robert worked on the house by day while Amos commuted to his construction job. Amos returned almost nightly with food prepared by Frances. They slept in the truck they had purchased to haul lumber and supplies to the homestead site. When the house was completed in 1921, Amos moved his family from Brooklyn. Frances, their eight children, General and Robert all lived in the large two-story house.
In 1922, General purchased three acres of farm land adjacent to Amos' property. The brothers completed construction on General's homestead, and then built a third for Robert. Thus, the three Hobbs brothers built the nucleus of the community.
"The Hobbs Family grew in both the Hobbs family and extended family. The Hobbs brothers (Amos, GW and Robert) extended their new-found homeland to other friends in Georgia, sending back for the Bryants, Millers, etc.
Mattie Mahaffey, Family & Friends Reunion Journal, August 4-6, 1995
According to U.S. Census records (1930-1950) the Hobbs families had tens of boarders during those years. Boarders whose names are easily recognized as patriarchs of other early families of Hobbstown.
The Macedonia Baptist Church, established by Reverend Amos Hobbs, first met in the barn behind his house. The families of Hobbstown – farmers, laborers, small businessmen, and women – built the original church at the end of Monmouth Avenue in 1922. Rev. Amos Hobbs served as pastor until 1929.
General was a carpenter, an all-around handyman; and essentially the largest land-owner in Hobbstown at the time. He was well-known in Somerset County for building summer cottages for wealthy New Yorkers.
Robert Hobbs was a tenant farmer in Leesburg, Georgia. The 1910 census lists his wife Catherine. During the 1930's Robert is reported as living in his home on Monmouth Ave in Hobbstown with boarders only. By 1936 the Hobbstown community enjoyed a playground and pool, a regulation baseball field and a dancehall, all built and funded by the residents.
Until the 1960s, Bridgewater Township was largely known as a farming community. Hobbstown was considered as 'out in the country'; a 'quiet Negro enclave' that was largely ignored by local government. The proposed plan of construction of Route 287 placed the highway through the middle of Hobbstown - threatening to demolish the Macedonia Baptist Church building and displace the entire community. Hobbstown residents 'spoke' through their newly organized Somerville Manor Civic Association. The Association garnered local, state and federal support to re-route the highway to bypass the community.
With the opening of Route 287, the Township's commercial base and population grew rapidly. Bridgewater became a fairly developed suburban community, with only few traces of its rural past remaining. In 1969, The Somerville Manor Civic Association was instrumental and effective in convincing Bridgewater Township to extend sewers, gas hookups, running water, garbage collection and other municipal services to Hobbstown.
"Hobbstown Stands on Roots Going Back Half a Century" headlined an April 1970 article in the Somerset Messenger Gazette. The full-page feature included an interview with the Rev. Amos Hobbs age 96, who recalled the "hard life of a Georgia tenant farmer". He spoke of the challenges he and his brothers faced while building new lives. He remembered their dream. Robert Hobbs died in 1942, General in 1967. Amos lived 98 years, transitioning in 1972.
The MLK Youth Center was chartered on August 22, 1973. It was Hobbstown residents who saw the need, developed the concept and assembled community leaders to provide essential supportive services for local youth. It is now a community based organization that provides quality care in a nurturing environment for children of all ethnic backgrounds. The Martin Luther King Youth Center is a Somerset County United Way Agency.
A "Family & Friends Reunion" held August 1995 celebrated the deep connections between the Hobbs' and the Hicks-Bryant-Miller-Murdock-Proctor-Sermons-McCray-Tukes families. Those tight-knit relationships were woven through common goals and inter-marriage with generations of Hobbs descendants. Today, the area remains officially designated 'Somerville Manor'. But to all descendants it was, is, and will always be Hobbstown.
August 20,2018
James Hamilton
I was first made aware of Hobbstown family history and settlement details from Ian Bryant who married a Hobbs descendant. I only became aware of my being a Hobbs descendant in 2001, long after working with her, and believe my great-great grandmother was Perry Hobbs' sister in Ellaville, Schley County, GA.

Due to the Covid-19 outbreak, the April KRGA class has been cancelled. There will be a make-up class offered from November 9-13th, 2020. Priority registration will be given to students that were signed up for the April class. Any remaining open seats will be available to the public to sign up on May 1st. Please call 907-262-0318 for additional information.
This course is required of all people that want to be guides on the Kenai River. Upon successful completion of the class, you will be given a certificate that will be presented to Alaska State Parks for licensing.
Background In January 2004, a group of organizations and agencies began working together to create a certification program for Kenai River fishing guides. The Alaska State Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation (DPOR), Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G), Kenai River Professional Guides Association (KRPGA) and Kenai Peninsula College (KPC), a community campus of the University of Alaska Anchorage, collaborated in creating the Kenai River Guide Academy®.
In early 2005, the Kenai River Working Group (KRWG) incorporated the Kenai River Guide Academy® program into their recommendations to DPOR for new State Park Regulations. Draft regulations were written and a public hearing was held in Soldotna in January 2006 to listen to comments about this program as well as other changes to Title 11. After the public comment period the regulations moved on to Lieutenant Governor's Office for signature. The proposed regulations were signed by Lt. Governor Loren Leman and became effective March 14, 2006.
Purpose The purpose of the Kenai River Guide Academy® is to educate and train all Kenai River fishing guides in the following areas: • Regulatory • Safety • Guide ethics and behavior • Habitat and conservation
Purchasing a "drop-in" date allows you to attend this class just once (or as many times as you like) without having to enroll in the class full-time.

A cup of coffee and a blueberry muffin seems like a pretty light, healthy breakfast, no? Slips down
easily and can be consumed on-the-go.
Whoa! The UK's Obesity Health Alliance says that one muffin can contain your entire day's allowance of sugar! The blueberries in the muffin do not make it into a healthy offering, either. Quite often, the "blueberries" are not even real fruit, but a chemical nightmare topped off with food color.
If you want a muffin:
Best choice: make your own, replacing part or all of the white flour with whole wheat or oatmeal flour.
Next best: buy mini-muffins (two-biters) from a supermarket. These muffins have nutrition information prominently displayed; or, split your 500-calorie monster muffin muffin with a friend.
Worst choice: coffee shop and bakery muffins. Typically the biggest and most sugary.

Mount Colvin is the 39th highest peak in the High Peaks Region of the Adirondack Mountains, in the state of New York, USA. Mount Colvin offers excellent views of a number of other Adirondack High Peaks, most notably the peaks that comprise the Great Range. High Peaks that are readily visible from Colvin include Giant, Rocky Peak Ridge, Upper Wolfjaw, Lower Wolfjaw, Armstrong, Sawteeth, Gothics, Saddleback, Basin, Tabletop, Marcy, Haystack, Redfield, Allen, Nippletop, Dial, and Blake. The mountain is named after Verplanck Colvin, an explorer of the Adirondacks and the director of the survey which mapped the region. After naming many other peaks and geographic features, he chose this less-prominent mountain to name after himself.

Golden Gressier glides to victory on his 10,000m debut
France's Jimmy Gressier has showed in the past that he can win in a sprint and he can also win from the front and the two-time European U23 cross country champion made the most decisive of breaks with four laps to go to win the 10,000m final on the first evening of the Gavle 2019 European Athletics U23 Championships.
Making his 10,000m debut on the track, Gressier was always towards the front and on the inside of a tightly bunched group which included the Israeli trio of Tadesse Getahon, Godadaw Belachew and Bukayaw Malede who controlled the pace through the halfway point in 14:32.52. Meanwhile, Gressier was content to play the waiting game.
A large group was still in contention past the eight kilometre mark but Gressier's break with exactly four laps to go proved utterly devastating, opening up an immediate gap on Getahon and the rest of the pursuers.
Gressier's winning margin was such that once again he could afford to showboat in the last 150 metres. The knee slide which turned him into a social media sensation at the SPAR European Cross Country Championships was sensibly avoided but Gressier stretched his arms out and flew down the home straight to win in 28:44.19 ahead of Getahon (28:46.97) and Great Britain's Emile Cairess (28:50.21).
Gressier, who was racing in flats rather than spikes, covered the second half of the 10,000m in 14:11.67. He also covered the last four laps in 4:17.11 despite easing off in the home straight.
"Although running cross country comes very naturally to me, I am slowly getting used to running on a stadium track, and I feel the 10,000m is the right event for me in the future," said Gressier. "I couldn't be happier with this European title, but now I want to focus on the 5 000m on Saturday."
There was also a significant medal for runner-up Getahon who became Israel's first ever track medallist in European U23 Championships history.
Weissenberg holds the overnight lead in the heptathlon
Germany's Sophie Weissenberg had a strong finish to the first day of her heptathlon and she leads overnight with a score of 3675 points and a near 100-point cushion on Poland's world U20 bronze medallist Adrianna Sulek (3589 points) and Belgium's Hanne Maudens (3576 points).
Weissenberg moved from third to first in the standings after setting a lifetime best of 14.18m in the shot put before clocking 24.67 on a chilly evening and into a headwind in the 200m. Expect Weissenberg to further her lead in the long jump as she won an individual silver medal in this event at the IAAF World U20 Championships in 2016.
"This has been a very tough competition because of the headwind. The hurdles was really hard to run for example," said Weissenberg.
The heptathlon lost France's Solene Ndama after the high jump and overall leader after two events Maria Huntington from Finland was also forced to withdraw after the shot put due to a hamstring injury.
The star of the shot put was Austria's former world U20 champion Sarah Lagger who slingshotted herself into medal contention after an indifferent morning with a near one metre lifetime best of 15.23m.
Lagger is fifth after the first day with 3523 points - one place behind her long-time contemporary Geraldine Ruckstuhl from Switzerland with 3575 points. Both of them are noted second day performers as well and Ruckstuhl could make an impact on the top of the leaderboard if she produces a throw close to her national record of 58.31m.
Title favourites Bukowiecki and Emilianov progress safely
Konrad Bukowiecki goes in search of his second major title in the space of the week and the Pole appears to be on course for a successful defence of his shot put title after he was the only thrower to surpass the 20 metre-line in the qualifying round.
After winning the World University Games title on Monday evening in Naples with a championship record of 21.54m, the reigning champion was pleased to confirm his berth in tomorrow's final with his first throw of 20.44m.
"I was really looking forward to getting a direct qualification in the first throw and I can't wait for tomorrow. I think I can throw even further in the final. I just came back from the World University Games where I threw over 21.50m and I hope I can do it again here," he said.
Reigning champion @k_bukowiecki exceeded the qualifying distance in the shot put on his first attempt with 20.44m. #Gavle2019 pic.twitter.com/3pvfaABIex
— European Athletics (@EuroAthletics) July 11, 2019
In his first outdoor competition of the season after injury, Norway's European U20 champion Marcus Thomsen also handsomely surpassed the automatically qualifying distance of 18.80m by more than one metre with 19.94m. The Swedish medal contender Wictor Pettersson recorded the third best throw of the day with 19.76m.
Another outstanding favourite Alexandra Emilianov from Moldova made easy work of the automatic qualifying mark of 53.00m in discus qualifying. The reigning world U20 champion recorded 55.41m with her first throw but the two pools were led by Croatia's Marija Tolj with 60.25m.
Belarus' Aliaksei Katkavets also impressed in the men's javelin qualifying, improving his national U23 record to 82.46m. Across the two pools, he was the only thrower to surpass the 80m-line but fellow favourites Alexandru Novac from Romania (78.30m) and Poland's Cyprian Mrzyglod (76.35m) also progressed automatically on their first attempts.
Larsson puts himself in title contention; Swoboda unassailable in the 100m semifinal
Just 0.07 separated the top six fastest qualifiers from the men's 100m semifinal. Germany's Marvin Schulte won the first semifinal in 10.49 before home favourite Henrik Larsson almost matched that time with 10.50. "My last medal was at the European U18 Championships in 2016 so I really want to get a medal again," said Larsson, who holds the Swedish U23 record with 10.20.
By contrast, it would appear that only a false start of a similar mishap will stop reigning champion Ewa Swoboda in the women's 100m. The Pole was the fastest qualifier in the heats this morning and went even faster in the semifinal with 11.41.
Jemma Reekie will be one of the busiest athletes at the championships and if everything goes to plan, the European U20 1500m champion will be racing on each of the four days of competition in Gavle.
Reekie is attempting a middle distance double and she began her campaign by posting the fastest time in the 800m heats with 2:04.74. She will return to the track tomorrow morning for the heats of the 1500m.

P.F. Chang's - Mobile
Top Tags:
Super busy holiday and service was excellent, they were handling the crowd with impressive efficiency.
This location went all out for Valentine's Day. Decorations and the ambience were amazing. Manager even got a loud flower styled jacket to wear. Our server not only was quick but very helpful in our choices. Overall superb experience. Thank you!!
Awesome dinner and great customer service
Service was very slow even though there was no one else sitting at the bar. This location had NO: hot n sour soup, mango iced tea, dry rub ribs, Korean Chicken BBQ stir fry or the ability to order only 4 crab wontons. I've never encountered so many 'nos'. We were told that the reason was that they were a small market but some items would be returning in February. We were only visiting AL so this was no help to us now. Chang's should be Chang's & I should not have to check to see if a particular location is considered a small market before we drive over an hour to get there. Very disappointed in this visit & Changs overall if in fact this is a new rule for them.
The bartender Joel was our server and he was very rude. He forgot to put in our appetizer and blamed the kitchen. When we got it 45 minutes later it was so overcooked and inedible. We let him know other items were inedible but he didn't offer much help. In fact, he was more combative and we saw him mocking us to other employees in the restaurant.
They were out of almost all white wines and Joel decided to supplement my house Chardonnay with their most expensive glass they offer. They were also out of many dishes on the menu....
We had a $50 gift card and ended up spending $80 total after a 20% tip, and it was not worth the extra we spent. Food was overpriced and quality poor, drinks outrageously expensive with limited to no lower cost options available, and the service....terrible. The manager didn't even come to check on us. Save yourself some money and go eat at a real Chinese restaurant that's locally owned.
They didnt have my reservation
Good atmosphere
P.F. Chang's was amazing. The food, drinks & dessert were top notch. We also had a few folks on special diets & they were very happy to cook the food exactly as we needed. We had 8 people in our party as we were celebrating a wedding in our family that will take place in 2 days. They even had the staff sign a card & wish our about to be newlyweds a bright future. We were just blown away by this gesture. Zach our server was wonderful. We had a grandmother & great grandmother with us & Zach was very personable & patient. We loved every minute of our dinner & we will definitely be back. If you are looking for great food & a good atmosphere you can't go wrong with P.F. Chang's.
Thanks for sharing this! We'll make sure to share this with our team! We hope to see you soon!
All was good on Father's Day but the wait time for the food was noticible.
We placed a reservation through OpenTable. The host was very snarky when we came in. The manager took over and was amazing. We were very impressed with the manager and the service we received from our server.
Lunch on Easter Sunday was delightful in P.F. Chang's. Our food was delicious- I had the honey chicken and my husband had the ginger chicken. Beautiful restaurant with great ambiance at a window seat.
Our server was rude, arrogant, and actually argued with me about the menu!!! Terrible Service!!!
We're sorry to see this. If you would like to discuss your feedback with us in further detail, please reach out to us at 480-888-3100. Thank you!
Food, service, and atmosphere were great. Noise level was high.
Only complaint that I have is that their door to the mall would get stuck open, and a very cold draft would come in the restaurant. Otherwise, great experience.
Food was terrible
Thanks for sharing this feedback with us, we're sorry to read this. We will ensure that we pass this along to our team. We would love to get some additional detail from you. Could you send us a private note with more information about your visit and contact information and our team will reach out to you. Thanks!
The service from the host to the waiter was fantastic however the food is mediocre.
Nice dinner with a nice quiet atmosphere.
The hostess had no record of our Open Table reservation. She and staff did a good job of setting up a table for us within 15 minutes. The bar was overwhelmed, understaffed, and understocked. 4 drinks we ordered couldn't be filled. The ones we did get took 20 minutes to arrive. And it took that long for the others to find out they had to order something else, and another 20 minutes to get those.
The food was great! It arrived before the drinks. Our server seemed new, but was determined to do well by us.

Wonderful meal! Very friendly hostess! Great server...Orlando I believe. Will be visiting again!
Made the reservation but when I arrived they placed me at a high top table in the bar. It was somewhat isolated and no one came to even drop of water or a menu. Finally, the bartender came and said she was responsible for all the bar service and the "she would do her best". Food arrived without much fanfare and seemed dry to my best recollection of P F Chang's menu.
I don't think I'll be back at this one.
We're sorry to see your experience wasn't what we had hoped it would be! We'd love to hear about your visit so we can get it right next time. Could you send us a private note with more information about your visit and contact information and our team will reach out to you. Thanks!
The service was amazing from the seating to the check. Our waiter, Brian, was very personable and nice. He made conversation and kept us satisfied. I was very pleased with the experience.
Couple issues with three of our orders but the management made it ok. Otherwise good time.
Screaming child in the background, slow service, food was ok, nothing outstanding......not very big portions for the price.
my black pepper chicken was very overcooked-dry and hard and tough to chew. I would have sent it back but was with a special friend and did not want to cause him embarrassment.
Granddaughters birthday. Service was wonderful, food is always incredible.
Thanks for sharing this! We'll make sure to share this with our team! We hope to see you soon!

The first time that I had Garlic Cauliflower Mash was at a Christmas party here at our house. Our daughter made it for us. To be honest, I was quite skeptical. Once I took a bite of the fluffy mashed cauliflower, I was sold—and frankly, quite surprised.
If you are (also) a skeptic on the taste of cauliflower in its whole florets state, let me tell you now that I hate cauliflower. I love a good veggie plate but I don't even want to dip a veggie in some tasty ranch dip if it has touched cauliflower. This is why I was truly surprised when I discovered that mashed cauli changes the flavor quite a bit, and it takes on the flavors it melds with. In this case, garlic, but this is probably why whole brands are putting out pizzas, baking flours, and snacks made with cauliflower: They don't really taste like it at all.
It turns out that this works for making "mashed potatoes" too. Using cauliflower is a great way to have the taste and texture of mashed potatoes with fewer carbs.
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Serves 4
Pro-Tip: If you want to soften your garlic to make it a bit easier to deal with, throw the peeled garlic in with the cauliflower when you steam it.
How to make garlic mashed cauliflower
- 1If required, cut the florets from the cauliflower stems. (The stems are too tough to mash well. Remember: Goal is fluffy.)
- 2Bring a pot of water to boiling.
- 3Place the cauliflower florets and the garlic cloves in the pot and boil for about 15 minutes. The cauliflower is done when you can easily place a fork through it.
- 4Finely chop the chives.
- 5Drain the cauliflower in a sieve or colander. Mind the hot water.
a. Tip: After draining the cauliflower, pat all of it dry with a paper towel to remove extra moisture. We want fluffy, not dense, and too much water creates a heavy mash.
- 6Place the cauliflower, garlic, olive oil, milk, garlic, and onion powder in a food processor (If you don't have a food processor, use your blender). Mix until your ingredients are smooth and creamy.
- 7Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 8Sprinkle chives on top prior to serving.
Cauliflower Mash Q&A
Can you freeze cauliflower mash?
Yes, you can freeze cauliflower mash in a baggy. Be sure to press all of the air out of it prior to sealing the baggy. Also, we recommend that you mix in a bit of extra almond milk before freezing. After defrosting, reheat the mixture in the oven with a drizzle of oil or pat of butter.
How to thicken mashed cauliflower?
If your mashed cauliflower comes out runny our suggestion is to add a bit of flour and mix thoroughly. We prefer to use almond flour or cornflour but feel free to use whatever you have on hand or based on your dietary needs.
Are you supposed to wash cauliflower?
Yes, we recommend that you wash all of your vegetables before cooking them. A good tip is to soak your cauliflower in cold water for a couple of minutes. Then follow with a good rinsing and thoroughly drying your vegetable. (Drying washed veggies is important to the cooking process.)
How long does cauliflower last?
If fresh cauliflower is properly stored it can last 7 to 14 days. To keep it fresh, store it in the vegetable drawer of your fridge. Do not rinse the cauliflower or allow it to get wet until you are ready to use it.
The Kitchen Sink Substitutions
Using almond milk makes recipe as-is a vegan, AIP, gluten-free and paleo-friendly dish. If you don't have almond milk around, do you have unsweetened oat milk, flaxseed milk, or cashew milk?
For dairy lovers, you can use heavy cream diluted with water, skim, 2% or whole milk, or part buttermilk, or even thinned, diluted plain yogurt or sour cream. There are WAYS to get that nice burst of dairy flavor.
Olive oil is a kitchen staple, but you can also use canola oil, vegetable oil, avocado oil, grapeseed, or almost any other cooking oil you might have in your pantry.
A food processor is great, but you can also use an immersion blender, handheld mixer, regular blender, or an aggressive potato masher, or even a pastry blender. If you have more time than equipment, mash with a large spoon. The goal is to incorporate until smooth and fluffy.
This is how you cook cauliflower like mashed potatoes. The best part is that if you don't tell your guest in advance, they will likely be quite surprised when you tell them what they are eating.

ICYMI: MSU Forward Gavin Schilling Injures Knee
Michigan State basketball senior forward Gavin Schilling suffered a knee injury last Friday during a practice just before MSU's annual tip-off "MSU Madness".
There is no current timetable for his return to the court. Schilling is the second Spartan lost to a knee injury. Graduate transfer Ben Carter is out indefinitely with a knee injury suffered earlier in the preseason.
Schilling was expected to start at center for the Spartans. He is eligible to take a redshirt and return for the 2017-18 season as a fifth-year senior.

11th European Seniors Team Championship
I'd just like to give my props to "our" Harri Hurme for his bronze medal at the recent 11th European Senior Team Championship in Catalonia!
Anyone knows if there were other composers/solvers on the championship ?

Hello everybody!
After coming home I found in the EG magazine a fine article by Jarl Ulrichsen 2227. He was playing in the European team senior championship in the Norvegian team. I must confess that I failed to meet him personally, even if we have met in a chess game some decades ago playing in a team match among Nordic country national teams. However Marcel van Herck 2182 and me met at the first occasion when I walked in the Velden casino.
The problemists may appreciate the following endgame showing the WCCT7 study theme. It is from the 6th round, match Czech-Finland, board 3. Jan Sikora-Lerch 2218 did play only four games in the Czechian team and did not play against Finland, but he could see this game live.
Black Harri Hurme 2241
(= 8+9 )
White Jindrich Trapl 2353
48.-Rb8! Threatening the b2 pawn. Now white can defend it by moving his bishop, three different places. Because black would continue as in the game in all the possibilites I will discuss the choices by next diagram. The game move 49.Bd1 is the most difficult nut to crack. 49.-c5+! 50.Kxd5 Relatively best is not to take the offered pawn but after 50.-d4 black bishop is no more a bad one and black has a comfortample game with extra pawn, very close a winning position. 50.-Be6+ Kc6
(= 8+8 )
BTM (position x)
Now doubling the rooks by 51.-Rab5 fails to 52.Bxa4! and black has no more than perpetual check. However if on move 49. white had played Bb1 51.-Rab5 would win here because white have no Bxa4!. In the diagram Black would like to play 51.-Bd5+ but pc5 interferences the guard line of Ra5. Black has no time for 51.-c4 because 52. Rd2 would defend. However if white had played 49.Ld3 51.-c4 would attack the bishop d3 and thus black could win against 49.Ld3 by that way.
The solution to the second diagram position is 51.-Ra6+! Now after 52.Kxc5 Ra5+ 53.Kc6 we reach position x´, i.e same as position x, but pc5 is missing, the WCCT7 theme! Black mates by 53.-Bd5+ 54.Kc7 Rb7+ 55.Kc8 and now ashaming mate dual Ra8#/Rc5#. Now we see that the game move 49. Bd1 has a hidden disadvantage, is it unguarded in variation 53.Kd4 Rd5+ 54.Kc3 Rxd1.
The game concluded shortly 52.Kc6 Rab6 53.Bf3 Rb3 0-1. However as a problemist I should have found shorter mate by 52.-Bd5! sacrificing a rook 53.Kxb8 Kd7 54.e6+ Kd6 and mate Ra8 is unavoidable.
Another thing common with problem chess in this senior chess event was the general atmosphere. Everybody was glad and happy and willing to discuss with anybody, a feature not common in normal otb chess, but just like in problem chess meetings!
Yours Harri Hurme
soon going to Subotica

The difference between a rectified tile and an un-rectified tile is that the rectified tiles have straight-cut edges. These tiles have very tight straight sawn sides. Also, sawn tiles have sharp corners. The advantage of this is that the tiles can be placed tighter and therefore have a minimal joint in the wall or floor.
In addition to rectified, we also sell calibrated tiles.

If you can create an arsenal of words to describe a loving relationship, then you can build a healthy environment where love can thrive. Verbalizing and writing expectations of love will force you to remember important details long after the "honeymoon" phase of a relationship has ended. Describing a loving relationship also may help to prevent you from making major relationship errors such as confusing lust with love, being inconsiderate and focusing on the negative.
Write a letter detailing at least five necessary aspects of a love relationship: commitment, communication, romance, sexuality and empathy. Remind readers that couples need to openly confess their love and dedication for one another. They must create a bond by sharing petty concerns and deep dreams. Keep the pheromones pumping by infusing the relationship with physical and emotional passion by having date nights. Write the importance of understanding each other's points-of-view.
Type a poem filled with the qualities of a loving relationship; verify the qualities you list are healthy and conducive to emotional growth and a healthy relationship. Use descriptive words like: fidelity, allegiance, dedication, respect, devotion, honesty and contentment.
Use descriptive songs that showcase the positive aspects of a loving relationship. Consider songs that bypass the initial euphoria of love and focus instead on the long term aspects on which healthy, loving relationships are built like: "I'll Make Love to You" by Boyz II Men, "When a Man Loves a Woman" by Percy Sledge and "I Will be Here," by Steven Curtis Chapman. Eric Clapton's song "Wonderful Tonight" is a touches directly on the unselfishness of love in the third stanza when he sings, "And the wonder of it all Is that you just don't realize how much I love you." With those lines, Clapton conveys the quiet moments in a relationship which show how much you love someone.

Impatient for those new MacBook Airs we know are coming? It'll be a couple more weeks, if whispers heard by 9 to 5 Mac are to be believed.
The upcoming earnings call on the 19th corroborates this; Apple was rumored to be waiting until they could ship with Lion, and it may be that they'll just have nailed down that date come mid-July… but not quite yet.
