Chris asks…
how do i get starting in the acting business?
I live in ireland , i have no experience in acting but i have always had a interest in it and would like to start . the problem is i dont know where to start .. any ideas ?
TheatrePlayers answers:
I can only speak for Dublin, Ireland but my best advice would the Gaiety School of Acting. They have a variety of courses for acting for beginners from camera to stage to theatre company.
Most of the terms run for ten weeks at one class a week for about 3 hours.
If you enjoy them you can progress by taking more advanced classes.
After having done at least one 10 week course within the Gaiety and if you are 16-19 you can then audition for the youth theatre company which runs as a professional theatre company for 3 terms (Sept – Dec, Jan- April, April – June) and then at the end of the year has a full length production in project arts centre.
If you are over 19 there is the Gaiety Theatre Company which runs productions in association with Smock Alley Theatre. You can audition for this company after doing a 10 week course.
If you are under 16, after a 10 week course you can audition for the young performers company.
I attended the Gaiety in temple bar and there are also schools in Bray, Malahide, Navan, Wexford, Castleblayney, Portlaoise, Thurles and Cork. The school is excellent, the facilitators are brilliant. The staff are wonderful.
Its not cheap but its definitely worth the extra 50 compared to other drama schools.
Iv been to a variety of stage schools before studying drama full time in uni and my time in the Gaiety was just priceless.
Sign up now and get ready for a wonderful experience!
Laura asks…
What is Isle of Man like to visit?
What is its culture, people, climate, customs, etc.
TheatrePlayers answers:
Hi from wet misty IOM.
Just home from crown green bowls, a popular game on the island and driving through Santon it was like November.
Fireworks in a minute..
Culture is varied . There are 48% Manx and 52% comeovers and stayovers, including Irish English Scots Welsh Poles Romanians, a few Chinese and Indians.
There isn't a mainland from here.. There's 'across' which is across the water.
The buses are pretty reliable We've got some new Mercedes buses too. Last buses leave around 2250 and there's a night owl at weekends.
A new one arriving off the ferry Ben my Chree (Girl of my Heart)
There is an electric railway to Ramsay, a steam railway to Port Erin, and a electric tram to the summit of Snaefell when the weather is reasonable enough
The steam locos are the original Thomas the Tank Engines. The stories are set in Sodor.
The Bishop here is the Bishop of Sodor and Man.
The IOM steam Packet Company runs ferries to Liverpool Heysham Dublin and Belfast. There is an airport with connections to airports all over the British Isles..
The highlight of the year for many is the TT races, with thousands coming over for it, many from abroad.
37 1/.4 miles on normal roads, through towns and villages, over the mountain and back to the grandstand in 20 minutes a lap for the leaders and over 200mph on the Sulby Straight.
Turn the volume down before watching…it shrieks!!
The Southern Hundred bike races are popular too
Manx culture is Celtic and Viking but mostly the island is just like across now.
Traffic, offices, rainy lunch break, crowded main shopping street on Saturdays, can't move in Tesco Friday evening, scream at the ref on the TV match of the day in the Rovers, sink another pint of Okells the local big brewery or Bushey's lovely offerings, which is a very nice independent brewery.
Good beers, no chemical beers allowed,
The commercial fishing was mostly for herring and queenies.There isn't as much now but we have a queenie festival every year
There is a Viking festival and longboat race at Peel every year.
Peel is the Manxiest place left on the island and has a good castle.
Another excellent one is Castle Rushen in the south at Castletown which is decorated as near as possible as it would have been in medieval times..
There are brass bands, choirs, and a national youth orchestra and ceilidhs with traditional instruments and Manx dance, plus discos and clubs,quiz nights, karaoke etc and a very good Victorian theatre, the Gaiety, very well preserved….
The other big venue is the Villa Marina just along the prom.
Both have websites.
These folks are friends. After a few minutes of it you'll know you've got legs.
Traditional Manx dance. Good winter warmer.
The fishing is OK off the rocks, better with a boat, and there are snooker and darts leagues, football and rugby including women's teams, shooting, a National Sports Centre (NSC) with a large swimming pool and an excellent track, and the Island takes part in the Island Games and hosts them and has hosted the Commonwealth Youth Games.
Mark Cavendish is Manx and we met at times on the roads years ago when he did his training rides here on the hills but he got a little bit better than I did haha, not that I'm a racer anyway, more of a touring cyclist but some roads here ….well, you just can't resist a good head down and goooooo.
Worse now though with more traffic around.
From Snaefell summmit you can see 7 kingdoms on a good day..
Kingdom of the Sea (Neptune's), Scotland, Ireland , Wales, England, Mann (double n), and the Kingdom of Heaven.
The last three trips I saw around 100 yards as the tram appeared through the clouds haha
The tram leaves from Laxey which has the world's largest working water wheel, called Lady Isabella.
There is a Manx language school at St John's, the only one in the world where all the teaching is in Manx gaelic.
Gaelic is not a language. It is a group of languages which includes the dialects of Irish (Munster and Derry), Scots gaelic, Manx gaelic etc
There's more but Y! Says it was too long…groan
Look up the water wheel. For what's on and local news, links for the ferry and airport etc put 'IOMtoday' in the search box. For webcams including the mountain put 'webcams IOM'.
Failte erriu—you're welcome
Aigh vie….good luck.
Anuthrun yessir…another pint of Busheys please
Charles asks…
what happen in 1882-1941 at Ireland?
in the 1882-1941 at Ireland, famous Author James Joyce was alived. i want know, when James Joys while one lives what happen in the world or Ireland and what infulence to he's works.
TheatrePlayers answers:
Joyce, James, 1882—1941, Irish novelist. Perhaps the most influential and significant novelist of the 20th cent., Joyce was a master of the English language, exploiting all of its resources. His novel Ulysses, which is among the great works of world literature, utilizes many radical literary techniques and forms.
Life and Works
The eldest of ten children born in a Dublin suburb, Joyce was educated at Jesuit schools–Clongowes Wood College in Clane (1888—91) and Belvedere College in Dublin (1893—99)–and then attended University College in Dublin (1899—1902). Although a brilliant student, he was only sporadically interested in the official curriculum. In 1902 he lived briefly in Paris and returned to the Continent in 1904 with Nora Barnacle, the woman who would eventually become his wife. For the next 25 years Joyce, Nora, and their children lived at various times in Trieste, Zürich, and Paris.
Joyce returned to Ireland briefly in 1909 in a futile attempt to start a chain of motion picture theaters in Dublin, and again in 1912 in an unsuccessful attempt to arrange for the publication of the short story collection Dubliners, which had to be abandoned due to fears of prosecution for obscenity and libel. Although the plates were destroyed, Dubliners was finally published in England in 1914. A short volume of poetry, Chamber Music, was his first published volume; it appeared in 1907. He published two subsequent volumes of poetry, Pomes Pennyeach (1927) and Collected Poems (1937).
Joyce and his family spent the years of World War I in Zürich, where he finished his novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. It first appeared in The Egoist, a periodical edited by Harriet Shaw Weaver, and was published in book form in 1916. In 1917, Joyce contracted glaucoma; for the rest of his life he would endure pain, periods of near blindness, and many operations. At this time he also wrote his only play, the Ibsenesque Exiles (1918).
Ulysses, written between 1914 and 1921, was published in parts in The Little Review and The Egoist, but Joyce encountered the same opposition to publishing the novel in book form that he had confronted with Dubliners. It was published in Paris in 1922 by Shakespeare & Company, a bookstore owned by Sylvia Beach, an American expatriate. Its publication was banned in the United States until 1933. For many years he lived mainly on money donated by patrons, notably Harriet Shaw Weaver.
From 1922 until 1939 Joyce worked on Finnegans Wake (1939), a complex novel that attempts to connect multiple cycles of Irish and human history into the framework of a single night's events in the family of a Dublin publican. In 1931 Joyce finally married Nora. Her practical, sometimes cynical response to Joyce's work provided a needed complement to his own self-absorption. Joyce and Nora had a turbulent relationship; both were profoundly affected by the progressive insanity of their daughter. Joyce died in Zürich in 1941 after an operation for a perforated duodenal ulcer.
Technique and Vision
Joyce's career displays a consistent development. In each of his four major works there is an increase in the profundity of his vision and the complexity of his literary technique, particularly his experiments with language. Dubliners is a linked collection of 15 short stories treating the sometimes squalid, sometimes sentimental lives of various Dublin residents. The stories portray a city in moral and political paralysis, an insight that the reader is intended to achieve through a succession of revelatory moments, which Joyce called epiphanies. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is an autobiographical account of the adolescence and youth of Stephen Dedalus, who comes to realize that before he can be a true artist he must rid himself of the stultifying effects of the religion, politics, and essential bigotry of Ireland.
Ulysses recreates the events of one day in Dublin–June 16, 1904; widely known as "Bloomsday" –centering on the activities of a Jewish advertising-space salesman, Leopold Bloom, his wife Molly, and the aforementioned Stephen Dedalus, now a teacher. The fundamental design of Ulysses is based on Homer's Odyssey; each chapter in the novel parallels one in the epic and is also associated with an hour of the day, color, symbol, and part of the body. Attempting to recreate the total life of his characters–the surface life and the inner life–Joyce mingles realistic descriptions with verbal representations of his characters' most intimate and random thoughts, using techniques of interior narration.
Interspersed throughout the work are historical, literary, religious, and geographical allusions, evocative patterns of words, word games, and many-sided puns, all of which imbue the ordinary events of the novel with the copious significance of those in an epic. Despite its complexities, Ulysses is an extraordinarily satisfying book, a celebration of life unparalleled in its humor, characterization, and tragic irony. A new edition of Ulysses, edited by H. Gabler, appeared in 1986, claiming to correct more than 5,000 errors that had been discovered in previous editions; it was itself flawed, and the publisher has subsequently reissued the 1961 edition in tandem with Gabler's.
Joyce's last work, Finnegans Wake, presents the dark counterpart of "Bloomsday" of Ulysses. Framed by the dream-induced experiences of a Dublin publican, the novel recapitulates the cycles of Irish history, and in its multiple allusions almost reveals a universal consciousness. In order to present this new reality Joyce manipulated and distorted language that pushed the work to the furthest limits of comprehensibility.
Because of its complexity Finnegans Wake is perhaps more talked about than read, and despite the publication of the manuscripts and drafts of the novel in 1978, probably will never be completely understood. Other posthumous publications include part of an early version of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man called Stephen Hero (1944). In June, 1962, a Joyce museum, containing pictures, papers, and first editions of Joyce's books, was opened in Dublin.
Hope this will be of help.

if anyone cud inform me of acting clubs in dublin or modelling things .. or anything like that id really appreciate it ..
only comment if ur nice and have something worth hearing to say.. thanks .
TheatrePlayers answers:
There is a Drama department at Trinity College, there is the Irish Academy for Dramatic Arts and several other colleges with drama departments.
The usual route into acting is to study at a drama school to degree level and to try and get a summer season as an assistant stage manager with a repertory company. This is incredibly hard work because often these companies that will present 3 or 4 different plays in a week so you need to know your lines for several different productions.
How often do you go to the theatre? You are lucky to live somewhere you have so much choice of what to go to see.
You will I'm sure find that some of the theatres will have youth programs or theatre clubs that they run.
Good luck
William asks…
Career as an actress, moving country..Could this work out? Please answer x?
Ok this sounds really crazy.. but i've been told by my friends and some family to like go for my dreams and all So my dream is acting, i know that a lot of teenagers want to act and everything but im really focused on it. I live in ireland and well that's no LA or New York so as you can guess there is no acting really? I've searched nearly every site with ireland auditions and there is none in my age range which is 13? So anyway.. im still in school. I actually have like 4 more years of it I was thinking.. America, well i always wanted 2 move there. I love it so much even though i haven't been there but like New York and all!!! So could this work out? I finish school after the leaving cert, get a job and start saving. I could also have started saving from a younger age. Then i could go over to america and get a temporary job, after a while get an agent and well then i will audition and stuff But also have a job unless the acting has become a very frequent thing Could this work out? I would love to move to america even if i don't pursue my dream of acting.
And please no answers saying im too young to know what i want to do and stuff. Thanks
Any tips on hwo this could work? Thanks for the answers so far. I could go to Australia or England either? Maybe work my way up to America. I would also be able 2 get a green card.
TheatrePlayers answers:
No it's not going to work out. You cannot get a visa for temporary work and the only way to get a visa as a performer is to have proof you are already considered a nationally recognised performer in your own country – that means you are represented by an agent, have appeared in professional productions (film, television or theatre), have been reviewed in the press, etc.
There are plenty of theatre opportunities in Ireland for people your age – there's even a National Association for Youth Drama http://nayd.ie/
Just click on your county and neighbouring counties on the map to find specific youth theatre companies near you http://nayd.ie/theatres
also check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_Youth_Theatre
And here's a list of drama schools http://www.localbusinesspages.ie/category.asp?Category=Drama+Schools
If you can't become a recognised actor in Ireland, a country with only 4 million people, how do you think you could make it in a country with almost 300 million people? You have a much better chance building up your resume in Ireland, then trying to move to the US once you have made a name for yourself

A BRIT doctor has told how he punched a "great white shark" that tried to rip his arm off during a surfing holiday in Australia.
Charlie Fry, 25, was riding the waves at Avoca Beach - some 60 miles north of Sydney, New South Wales - when he was attacked today.
He has now told of the terrifying moment the predator slammed into him as he paddled along on his board.
And he revealed how he miraculously managed to escape in one piece with only minor bite marks.
Charlie told Australia's Daily Telegraph he felt something bump his right shoulder and instinctively turned to see what it was.
But he turned just in time to see the toothy menace sinking its gnashers into his arm.
He is quoted as saying: "I saw its jaw and teeth coming at me.
"I just punched it with my left hand and shouted out to my mates and paddled so hard back to shore.
"It was terrifying but it only lasted five seconds. I'll get to tell the story for the rest of my life."
Pictures from the scene show tooth marks in the surfer's arm as he stands on the beach moments after his lucky escape.
Pals took the Brit to hospital where he was treated for his injuries.
But he was more worried about what his mum would say than about the injuries themselves.
Charlie - who reportedly just moved to Oz a couple of months ago - told 9news: "Jeez, I don't know if I can tell mum - she might kill me!"
He said he didn't know what breed of shark attacked him.
But lifeguards spotted a great white and a bronze whaler in the area shortly after the incident.

Colorado Farm Show Next Week – Harvesting Success
The History of the 48th Annual Colorado Farm Show is a history of volunteers striving for agriculture excellence. It is also ironic that the Nations' 4th largest Ag show takes place in Weld County, the fourth largest agriculture producing county in the United States. The 3 day event features almost 350 exhibits and draws over 30,000 visitors from all over.
It all began in 1964 as a result of a coffee klatch. It was then that a group of Colorado State University Extension Agents, coffee cups in hand, were asked, "Why don't we have an agriculture trade show in Greeley?" They discussed the demise of the Farmers Institute in 1958, which used to be the "biggie" in farm programs. They also talked about changes necessary to rebuild the program.
The Extension Service said it would organize, plan, and conduct the show if the ag industry would financially support the show. The Chamber of Commerce also was asked to assist. After a year of planning and organizing, the first show -- then called the Colorado Agricultural Chemical Exposition -- was held on February 16-17, 1965 at the Greeley Community Building. It drew 30 exhibitors.
Two years later, in 1967, the show was renamed the Colorado Farm Show. And in 1968 the show became the organized entity it is today.
The 48th Annual Colorado Farm Show is Tuesday & Wednesday from 9am to 5pm and Thursday from 9am to 4pm. The event takes place at Island Grove Regional Park. {425 N. 15th Ave}
Admission to the Farm Show is free but there is a $5 fee for parking.

Second District Commander Sulzer Steps Down WHY???
To Mayor Jackson, Safety Director McGrath, Flask and Chief of Police Williams:
If your intent was to make the citizens of the Second Police District feel unsafe you achieved your goal.
Last night, I went to bed uneasy knowing that now when the drug dealing on both sides of my home becomes intolerable I no longer have Commander Sulzer to email to let him know about the increased activity both day and night. I am sure that replacement Tom Stancho is a fine and capable person, but you see it takes years to gain the trust of a community. We had a Commander who had the trust and confidence of his community built on years and years of serving us well. You don't simply interchange that kind of person with another cog in the wheel.
Knowing that Commander Sulzer would use the information that I forwarded to him from myself and others so that we would again have a quieter, more peaceful existence was a constant reminder that we were safer and more secure with him at the helm. He used the information we gave him to deploy his officers effectively and efficiently
This morning, I woke up before dawn realizing that I wasn't as safe as I was yesterday because Commander Sulzer no longer leads our team of police officers who protect and serve my community.
You have taken from us a man who was a true leader. He knew that being a policeman was much, much more than commanding his troops. He knew that enlisting the help of the community to be his eyes and ears was essential to our well-being as a community. He knew that working together was how we would all be safe and secure. He made sure by being visible in the community and being part of our social fabric that we would continue our daily lives with a surer step- a little bit more confident that our decision to make Cleveland our community of choice was a good one because hw was a member of the team..
Yesterday, I had hope in achieving our community's goals because we had a very sturdy rudder to guide us through some, at times, pretty heavy seas. Today, my councilman Brian Cummins along with other leaders in my community are demanding some answers on why such a devastating decision was made that will harm our community. And, I no longer have the optimism and confidence I once had.
Unfortunately, in my heart I believe I know the answer to this devastating turn of events-politics. I have heard that the decision to demote a commander lies with the police chief. I have no reason to believe that this decision was made any differently. We will be given a rash of statistics and reasons as to why this demotion and disgrace of the best police commander I have ever known was a needed outcome of events in our community. But, I say to you that Commander Sulzer is the best commander to ever serve in the City of Cleveland because former Second District Commander Greg Baeppler ,who has always been my comparison when sizing up our police force, told me so. I have always believed that Commander Baeppler speaks the truth, and through the years, I have learned for myself that his statement is true.
I am saddened to think that this decision was probably made for a much more personal reason than "the good of the community" although I am sure that crime statistics will be the official reason. Looking at statistics can be misleading and are not a good way to evaluate the strength of a police force and its commander. Recently, I have seen reports of crime being "up" in the second district. Subtle hints in the media to show that we are not as "safe and secure" as we perceived, targeted specifically for us to doubt ourselves. Has anyone ever reasoned why this may be? Could it be that more people report crimes because they are confident that something will be done, that their complaints are taken seriously, that the new way to deploy officers is to strategically place them in areas with more reports of incidents of crime works but only because people report crime? Did the very rules devised to make us "safe" cause the one thing that will make us "unsafe"?
Reasoned decision making and good judgment are traits that any good leader should have but are especially crucial for a police chief or those who choose that leader. On the surface, the decision to force Commander Sulzer to resign and accept a demotion appears not to be seasoned, reasoned or based on sound judgment, so why was it made? Tell us.
The Second District community deserves answers and not only should one of our elected representatives ask, but all of our councilmembers should be asking this question in unison. If it is one thing I know about my friends and neighbors, we will write letters, we will make phone calls, we will stage protests until we get the answers we deserve regarding the untimely and ill- conceived demotion of Commander Keith Sulzer. We will demand answers.
I will not go so far as to suggest that this decision should be reversed because heaven knows that takes a true leader who knows it is better to reverse a decision than to ride it down to the end. Of course, when decisions are made by a "lame duck" administration it isn't that administration that lives with them but the community that will be left to pick up the pieces.
Council leaders should certainly question why the Police Chief made this decision and demand concrete evidence to show why it was made. It is time for council to show true leadership and not allow a lame duck administration to continue to make decisions that will affect our lives long after it is gone.
Friends living in the 2nd District or anyone else who lives in Cleveland and cares about our relationship with our police force should call and express our thoughts about Commander Sulzer to the following people and numbers: Police Chief Calvin Williams 216-623-5005; Safety Director Michael McGrath 216-3716; and the Mayor's Office 216-664-3990.
How strange that a few short months ago I worried that Commander Sulzer would be promoted to police chief and we would lose this fine man to the greater good. Never did I dream that we would lose him for reasons that are so very wrong.
Has the "War on Drugs" Failed?
I've always thought the term "war on drugs" set the wrong tone. It was a "war" set to fail. I dated a DEA officer in the 70's shot in the back when he entered a known drug ring's apartment. They never found the partner who did it, who decided the money on the other side was too hard to resist. He told me that he thought it was futile as long as there were people to buy there would people to harvest and sell.
So, depleting demand should change the need for supply in theory.
Mansfield is correct until there is a bed for every addict needing and wanting it with the help to find a job (usually a futile attempt since there is probably a felony record in the person's past and when there are 5 people for every job available not much chance of it happening) and a reason for staying clean, usually reconnecting with a family worn down by years of promises broken, law enforcement will be asked to clean up the messes so they are kept out of sight, not eradicated.
And now, with the added, addiction caused by prescription painkillers, who wouldn't go to the cheaper and more readily available heroin on the streets?
I think I finally get why the drug dealers in my neighborhood are so busy at 8 am and 5 pm- a steady stream of SUVs and late model cars pull up, a driver or passenger hops out, knocks on a door or talks to a kid on a bicycle, and 5 minutes later they pull away.
And, before you say that law enforcement does nothing, let me tell you that the battle rages on in my neighborhood and across the city. But, just like the potholes in Cleveland there are priorities, many cases just wouldn't make it to court and if it did because of overcrowding of jails, treatment facilities, the penny ante dealer will soon be back on the streets.
Until we treat drug addiction as a SOCIAL ill instead of a criminal one, I don't think much will change.

Turning 20
June 28, 2014
Two decades later: haven't grown into nose, still grasping outwards with child-hands, still sleep with baby blanket. But, damn, it feels good to be out of my teens.
Twenty: an impressive threshold.
Twenty like, sex in the bar bathroom. Twenty like, your seventh interview this month. Twenty like, what do you want to be when you grow up? Twenty like, grow the fuck up. Twenty like, so are you dating anyone? Twenty like, tindr. Twenty like, LinkedIn. Twenty like, engagement rings and the girl next-door. Twenty like, adventure. Twenty like, health insurance? Twenty like, reckless. Twenty like, possibility.
Twenty: and heart's still tied up in hormonal shambles. Twenty: and brain's still captive to adolescent ignorance. All birthday's that end with zero have this similar self-deprecating/ self-magnifying effect.
Admit, "Twenty is a big deal because I need it to be a big deal". As is: the mistakes we've made and still feel the repercussions for, are mistakes from our teenage-self. Let the movement away from last year, last month, last night, be the turning of the fresh page we've been looking for.
But we're twenty, full of paralyzing-hopes and propelling-fear, consumed by romance and solitude, and craving something bigger than the homogenous routine of adolescents and the something kinder than the societal expectations of monetary comforts, nuclear family, and already-required wisdom.
But being in our twenties, in the twentieth-first century, means we're statistically not expected to succeed. Society is waiting for us to fail. Two fifths of us will move back with our parents. Two thirds of us will attempt living with a romantic partner we are not married to. And on average we will change jobs more than six times before our thirtieth birthday. We will open our web browser to see ads about the failure of youth, turn on the news to hear about the Boomerang Generation, and sociologists will coin our curricular movement "the slow transition into adulthood".
However, the media-reports and lexicon undermine and undervalue the possibilities of enjoyable, balanced third-decade of life. With this is mind, I use this web-article to urge that those just turning 20, and those climbing through their twenties remember and abide by the following:
Who you are now is fleeting, is not who you will be in ten years. When you no longer like who you are, shed your skin, retry, and plant yourself in nourished soul.
Fall in love with music, and then share that music. Nothing is sexier than a human with good music and a spare ear-bud.
Practice self-love at all times.
Figure out what matters to you, then, prioritize.
Be as loud as you need in your healing. You will fall in love again.
Despite popular misconception, you do not need another to make your own heart beat.
Spontaneity is underrated. So go on, the world is calling.
Find what you love and the money will follow.
You were not meant to be pretty, you were meant to start fire with your abilities. So burn bright.
Take up space.
Always have clean underwear and socks.
It would not be too extreme to become kinder.
I believe in you.
The decade you have ahead of you will be a dancing act: tangoing the line of failure and success, growth and immobility, self-expectations and the expectations of others. So, dance dancer, dance; show yourself and the world what you are capable of.
I conclude this article with this source-less quote "Nothing will ruin your 20's more than thinking you should have your life together already".

Hellraiser: Hellworld (also known as Hellraiser VIII: Hellworld) is a 2005 horror film directed by Rick Bota. It is the eighth installment in Hellraiser series. The Hellworld script is based on a short story called "Dark Can't Breathe" by Joel Soisson.[2] Hellraiser: Hellworld was released straight to DVD in the United States on September 6, 2005, after a handful of minor film festival and private screenings.
The film stars Lance Henriksen in the role of the Host. Henriksen had originally been approached to play the role of Frank Cotton in the first film in the series, Hellraiser. Henriksen turned the offer down in favor of a starring role in the vampire thriller Near Dark (1987).[3] His role as the Host in Hellworld remains his only appearance in the series to date.
It is also the final film to feature actor, Doug Bradley as Pinhead.
The film introduces a circle of youths who are addicted to playing Hellworld, an online computer game based on the Hellraiser series. The film opens at the funeral of Adam, one of their friends who was obsessed with the game and ultimately committed suicide after becoming too immersed in the game. The remaining five friends blame themselves for not having prevented Adam's suicide.
Two years later, they attend a private Hellworld Party at an old mansion after receiving invites through the game. Mike, Derrick and Allison are enthusiastic about the party, while Chelsea reluctantly accompanies them. Jake, who is still very much distressed by Adam's death, only agrees to show up after a female Hellworld player with whom he has struck up an online friendship asks him to attend so they can meet. The quintet are cordially welcomed by the middle-aged party host, who offers them drinks, shows them around the mansion (allegedly a former convent and asylum also built by Philip Lemarchand), and provides them with cell phones to communicate with other guests.
As the party progresses, Allison, Derrick and Mike find themselves trapped in separate parts of the house, and are gruesomely killed by the Host, Pinhead, and the Cenobite minions Chatterer and Bound. Jake and Chelsea become mysteriously invisible to other party guests, and are stalked by the Host and the Cenobites.
Holing herself up in the attic, Chelsea finds items belonging to Adam, and discovers that the host is his father, who blames his son's friends for not helping break his addiction. Chelsea and Jake try to flee, only to discover that they have been buried alive and are receiving messages from the host via cell phones in their respective caskets. The Host informs them that they are just coming out of a hallucination induced by a powerful psychedelic he exposed them to upon their arrival, and that the events they have been experiencing have been the result of hypnotic suggestion and their own guilty consciences. Before leaving, he lets Chelsea know that Allison, Derrick, and Mike have all perished in their respective caskets, and that only she and Jake remain alive. Chelsea begins to slip into another hallucination when she is abruptly pulled above ground by police and paramedics, who say they were informed by a phone call from Chelsea's telephone. Looking towards the house, Chelsea sees Adam standing in the window.
Later, the Host sits in a bedroom, going through a suitcase containing Adam's possessions. He finds and opens the actual Lament Configuration, which summons the real cenobites. Pinhead praises Adam's ingenuity and mocks the Host's disbelief before the Chatterer and Bound cenobites tear him to pieces.
Jake and Chelsea are shown driving into the sunrise, when they receive a mysterious phone call from the Host, who suddenly appears in the back seat. The two almost crash the car but are able to stop it. The last scene shows the police entering the bedroom in which the Host opened the box, the walls blood-smeared and the box lying on the floor.

The film originated due to the necessity of filming a ninth Hellraiser film alongside Hellraiser: Deader as a contractual stipulation for filming in Romania. The screenplay was based on the short story "Dark Can't Breathe" by Joel Soisson, which Carl V. Dupre would adapt into a screenplay set within the Hellraiser series, originally entitled Hellraiser: Deadworld. Many of the cast members, including Khary Payton and Lance Henriksen, were hired by chance after they had completed filming projects in Romania such as Dracula II: Ascension for Payton and Mimic 3: Sentinel for Henriksen.[4]
The film received a negative response from critics, scoring a 20% approval rating on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, based on five reviews.[5]
Tim O'Neill for PopMatters found the film acceptable as a horror film, but a poor sequel, saying "while Hellworld is a pretty good generic horror movie, it is an abysmal Hellraiser film."[6] JoBlo.com gave the film a positive review giving it a 7/10 and saying "Overall, this flick was a F*cking-A good time!"[7]

I do so love lilacs. They remind me of happier times when I was a boy. Just outside of the living room was a huge lilac tree that grew in front of the window. Our piano was also in there, as was my favorite chair to sit and read.
In the summer, the wind would slip through the window and brush the scent of lilac all through the place. It was a delightful time and to this day lilacs always bring me happiness. In fact, my favorite aftershave is lilac vegetal. It's hard to find these days, but it's a manly scent and quite pleasant.

Thor's Theme Song Just Launched A Jack Black Vs. Chris Hemsworth Battle Of The Jams
Jack Black heard about a certain Led Zeppelin song getting a ton of play in Thor: Ragnarok, and he is PISSED—and ready to do what needs to be done to reclaim the tune in all its glory.
The track in question, "Immigrant Song," is so brilliantly used in the third Thor flick that it's now inextricably linked with the God of Thunder, and should be known to all as Thor's anthem from here on out. Black has a problem with that: In 2003's School of Rock, he plays an accidental music teacher who opens the ears of his students to Black Sabbath, AC/DC, and, yup, Zeppelin.
The English rock icons rarely license out their music for use in films and television, and so the inclusion of "Immigrant Song" on the School of Rock soundtrack was a legendary one — and a lucky one, too, as it made for one of the most memorable moments in the movie.
As such, Black's slightly irked at the prospect of Thor: Ragnarok stepping on School of Rock's toes when it comes to working with Robert Plant's sky-high screams.
He responded by challenging Chris Hemsworth and the whole Thor: Ragnarok crew to a School of Ragnarok Battle of the Jams. Dude. Is. Determined.
"It's come to my attention that someone kind of stole that chunk of our movie, and put it in their movie," he griped via Instagram of the "Immigrant Song" swipe. "That's right. I'm talking about Thor: Ragnarok. Totally bit our style, totally poached our jam, and now they're parading around town like they thought of it! Well, you don't get to do that and get away with it, bro. I'M CALLING YOU OUT, THOR."
But that's not all: Black is currently shooting The House With A Clock In It's Walls, and he got his fellow cast members and the crew (including director Eli Roth) involved for the first volley in this battle.
Hemsworth was both amused and confused, but hey: He likes jam! All kinds! Especially the kind you spread on toast! If a battle involves that kind of jam or the Eddie Vedder-fronted kind, he's extremely game!
Still, he accepted Black's advance.
"You're right! You got me! Guilty as charged!" he admitted. "We stole 'Immigrant Song' from you. But guess what? You stole it, too. And as Oscar Wilde once said, 'Talent borrows and genius steals.' So, we're both guilty of the same crime."
He laughed, said he had no idea what a "battle of the jams" means, exactly, but whatever—he's down. Stay tuned for the next Hemsworth-helmed chapter of this School of Ragnarok battle, one that hopefully includes director Taika Watiti, Tom Hiddleston, and the rest of the hilarious Marvel gang. May the highest belter win.

Explore Offshore, a project of the American Petroleum Institute, is a national coalition that supports offshore energy exploration and production to help supply affordable energy for American consumers, small businesses, and manufacturers. This coalition has brought together small businesses, local associations, and veterans groups in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Virginia to voice support for offshore energy exploration and production that can increase jobs, investments, and reliable, safe, and affordable energy. Our coastal states rely on accessible and affordable energy every day to do everything from cooking dinner to heating their households and businesses, and commuting to and from work.
The Explore Offshore coalition is co-chaired by former Secretary of the Navy and former Democratic Virginia Senator Jim Webb and former Secretary of Veterans Affairs Jim Nicholson.
Former Secretary of the Navy and Democratic Senator from Virginia Jim Webb, Explore Offshore Co-Chairman: "This is a much-needed, commonsense step for America's energy future. Energy security is national security, and domestic energy production is a key contributor to a healthy national economy. Oil and natural gas are the key drivers of the world's economies. We remain vulnerable in an expanding global economy marked by ever-growing energy needs. In its move toward an "all of the above" energy policy, America needs to correct a timeworn oversight and modernize the unnecessarily restrictive approach to the exploration and safe development of oil and national gas resources that lie offshore. Technology, drilling techniques and industry standards have all changed greatly since these restrictions were put into place. Our national policies should mirror the significant advances that have been made in these areas, for the good of our national security and of our economy."
Former Secretary of Veterans Affairs Jim Nicholson, Explore Offshore Co-Chairman: "This is an important moment for the future of U.S. energy and national security. With 94 percent of the Outer Continental Shelf currently off-limits to exploration and development, and demand for natural gas and oil expected to rise, we must take this opportunity to increase our domestic energy reserves. Domestic energy sources are critical to reliable and affordable energy for U.S. consumers, as well as an important source of energy for our military operations and ensuring that we don't continue to rely on foreign adversaries for our energy. Offshore oil and natural gas development in the U.S. also provides important, higher-paying job opportunities for our veterans across the country."
Our mission is to unite supporters of safe and environmentally responsible offshore energy exploration and development and to promote its importance to our nation's economy and U.S. energy security.

Mice can get into openings as little as ¼" which is the diameter of a dime. In some cases they (like most of us) have put on a few pounds which can make fitting into things a bit snug. In this case a plump mouse tried to get through a void and got stuck and died. In all seriousness the picture shows how sneaky and dangerous mice are in your home!
They chew on electrical areas and they can easily cause a fire. Mice are nothing to take for granted and try to treat yourself! Trust EHS to protect your home and property!

Work Title
Mrs. Harper came to keep house for Grandma many years ago when everyone in the family was ill. Grandma had about given up hope of any answers to her advertisements asking for help. One day a taxi drove up in front of the house. A small, bird-like woman hopped out. Her hair was pulled tightly back into a knot at the back of her neck. She wore a gray dress and a funny little hat perched on top of her head. She paid the driver and came lightly up the steps. Ever since then Mrs. Harper has belonged to us and we to her.

Call for good practices in the health sector response to HIV
Implementing the Action plan for the health sector response to HIV in the WHO European Region requires effective, efficient and sustainable interventions and evidence-based responses. In order to scale up implementation, WHO/Europe is calling on Member States, partners and communities to share their examples of good practices related to:
- information for focused action;
- interventions for impact;
- delivering for equity;
- financing for sustainability; and
- innovation for acceleration.
Despite some progress, HIV transmission and insufficient health sector response remain major concerns in the Region. In 2016, more than 160 000 people were diagnosed with HIV infection – once again, the highest annual number ever reported in the Region. The good practices gathered will contribute to strengthening the regional response to HIV.

The Var
With ever-changing landscapes from the mountains to the sea, the Var is one of the most tourist and wooded departments of France with an annual sunshine of 3000 hours.
The Upper Var where one can enjoy hot summers without heatwaves, the calm, the authenticity of the old hilltop villages, the hills and vast forests with truffles, mushrooms, wild boar and deer extends from Montauroux to the East to Artigues in the West. The wilderness is the strong point of its tourism, totally different from that of the coast, fishing in streams and rivers, rafting, canyoning, paragliding, climbing and hiking in the spectacular Gorges du Verdon. The Inland Var is inner Provence, from Les Adrets de l'Esterel in the East to Castellet through to Draguignan, Brignoles and Saint Maximin, with its hills and valleys, its agriculture (fruits, vegetables, honey, olive oil ..), its fragrant scrubland and pine forests and 37,000 hectares of vineyards of prestigious wines. The Centre Var stretches from the Sainte Baume range in the West to the Esterel in the East, through the Maures plain with the Thoronet Abbey, the Basilica of Saint-Maximin ... It is the link between the coast and the Upper Var, the rich heritage (churches, chapels, castles, bell towers) visits to grottos, the beauty of its parasol pine forests and the red rocks of the Maures and the Esterel, or the freshness of the Argens valley. The Coastal Var boasts the most beautiful sandy beaches of the area, a protected environment with the Iles d'Or, the most famous beach resorts of St Tropez, St Raphael, Ste Maxime, Cavalaire, Bandol, Le Lavandou ... charming Port Grimaud, Cogolin, as well as 200 km of hiking trails, with a breathtaking panorama of the Mediterranean.

From the Nahuatl word (tamalii), the tamale is a popular Mexican dish that consists of various fillings (such as finely chopped meat and vegetables) coated with a Masa dough and wrapped in a softened Corn Husk. This package is then tied and steamed until the dough is cooked through. The corn husk is peeled back before the tamale is eaten. Although savory tamales are the most popular in the United States, many cooks in Mexico also serve sweet tamales, usually filled with fruit.
Tamales are cornmeal dough wrapped in a corn husk and steamed, often stuffed with pork, olives or turkey.

I've had a bottle of Kirkland Signature Blended Canadian Whiskey sitting on my liquor shelf for a while, and I've been looking forward to trying it. But, when I was about to open it one day, I realized that its royal purple label with gold accents was meant to resemble Crown Royal whiskey, what is probably the single biggest brand of Canadian blended whiskey in the US. Having never tried Crown Royal, I didn't want to taste Kirkland's take on the category until I knew what they were comparing themselves to.
Having more than a few bottles waiting to be tasted, written up, and photographed, it's actually been a few months until I've had a spot in my budget, time to shop for, and an opportunity to taste the so called "legendary import" that is Crown Royal whiskey. Since I've really been looking forward to that Costco bottle though, I knew I couldn't put off trying out Crown any longer.
Everything about Crown Royal tries to impress upon you that it is, in fact, royal. It comes in a royal purple box with gold and red accents. The box its self eschews any busyness, except an embossment of the gold trim to make it resemble a rope. There's no cluttered text, no excess of logos, slogans, or other gimmicky advertising hoopla to be found. The manufacturer has kept the box just about as simple as possible, as if to try and keep the buyer from being distracted. Once the box is open though, things start changing.
Having never had Crown Royal, I was a bit surprised to find in the box not a bottle, but a cloth bag cinched with a golden yarn. Like the box, the bag is royal purple, with gold stitching, and the Crown Royal logo stitched into one side. It's made of soft cotton cloth, using a weave that looks like canvas but is much more supple and doesn't seem as tough.
In the bag, the bottle is the exact opposite of the box. The labels have a splotchy background meant to look like yellowing parchment, and are completely packed with imagery and text. The front label has pictures of curtains with tassels, a crown on a pillow, a logo, calligraphic font slogans, and a scroll. The back is filled with all the various legal, corporate, and advertising texts you'd expect a liquor bottle to have, but the label its self is rather small, so it seems to be swimming with text. The bottle is sealed with a mostly clear plastic seal, but around the bottom a purple ring is adorned with golden crowns all the way around. The cap is a heavily molded plastic monstrosity meant to look something like a crown (but which doesn't really succeed in doing so.) Even the glass of the bottle its self is almost completely covered in an angular filigree.
The whiskey its self is medium golden brown amber color. Poured into a brandy snifter, it somehow seems darker in the glass. The scent is rather indistinct; you can tell that the whiskey was aged for some period of time in wood, but there's no indication of how long, what kind of wood it was, or any flavor that the wood may have imparted. There's no discernible grain scent of any kind. The strongest odor is that of alcohol, but even that seems somewhat mellow.
Taken neat, there's not much more to the flavor than there is to the scent. There's a nondescript wood flavor, but it's not especially strong. There is the taste of alcohol, and it is thankfully not overpowering. Other than that, there's not much. I don't taste barley, wheat, or corn. There's not fruitiness from a cask, nor are there flavors of nuts or spices or toffee. There is a sort of a toasty finish, but it is very, very mild, and on the occasional sip I'll get a very very vague hint of another flavor, which I'd like to say it rye, but it's so weak I can't really be sure.
The whiskey is very dry, with no sweetness to be found anywhere, but also nothing savory, sour, tangy, or bitter, either. There's no smoke, no earthiness, no salt. The one good thing to be said about the mild mannered nature of this spirit is that it's also very smooth; there's just enough burn that you can feel it on the edges and back of the tongue, but just so. It certainly doesn't reach the point of being unpleasant, but there's also not enough there to really enjoy the sensation either.
After being open a while Crown Royal does come to life a bit, but all the new flavors are still just whispers of hints. Everything that developed as this whiskey oxidized has to be described with I think. I think I may have tasted corn at one point. I think I tasted some cinnamon. I think I tasted some oaky flavor one time. One of the only things that I know I tasted was the beginnings of nuttiness, which often comes from the heated surface of a whiskey still. That particular taste's time in the spotlight was short lived though, as as the flavor evolved it developed the little that it did and then faded away. The same is true of a flavor of spices that waxed and then waned.
With all the guff one hears about blended whiskey from the cork sniffing peanut gallery among single malt fans, I think it may be safe to say that the mild nature of all the flavors in Crown Royal could be due to the fact that it is blended for consistency overall, and not to enhance any particular set of flavors within it. I am curious however about what I'll find after my palate has developed and I come back to a new bottle (this last drops of this one are nicely filling a tumbler as I write this.)

Recently, I asked some male friends on Facebook to partake in an experiment. I showed various pictures of women and asked them to comment. The main question I asked them was is if they thought the women in the picture shown below were unattractive.
Here is the picture I posted.
So what do you think? Are they attractive?
Before we go any further, I am going to state this is not an article on how "all women are beautiful" or some other silliness. I used these women to prove a point. A point illustrating our perceptions can sometimes be flawed or incorrect.
We don't always have all of the information and things can change quickly. Sometimes you see something and you have enough information to see it for what it is. This happens all the time in our day to day lives. Other times, you have to dig deeper to find meaning in what you have perceived about a person, event or circumstance. Further still, you can be fooled entirely by said events or circumstances.
Why does this happen? I would like to think it is because most people are not vigilant about what they perceive in their realities. We all do it. We have to overcome years of programming and indoctrination to rid ourselves of these occurrences.
How do you do it?
Mike over at Danger and Play just did a podcast on negative thinking and he was right on the mark. It was one of his best podcasts ever.
I think you can add perception to the other side of the negativity coin. Your negative thoughts can lead to negative perceptions and spiral right into negative emotions. They are all linked.
Change your perception and you change your world.
Perception. What is it exactly? How do we perceive things in our world?
Have you ever gone to some event with a friend maybe a sports game and you both see a completely different game. Wait…what? How does this happen? You were both at the same event. You went to the same game correct? Perhaps you didn't.
Each one of our perceptions are unique and individual. They are formed by our upbringing, our belief system, our education, our experiences and to a larger extent, our programming. Yes. Programming. We are all highly programmed in our society. Don't believe it? What did you see when you looked at the first picture of those women? Ugly? Average? Wallflowers? I bet we all saw something different.
Everything we encounter and analyze is our perception and this creates our reality. So can our reality be misguided and looked upon incorrectly?
Let me give you an example. My brother is a highly programmed individual. He is a very traditionally Catholic, and his world is black and white. Not too long ago we were at a family function and he was showing me his Spotify music app on his phone. He showed me he had downloaded a Rolling Stones album and how it now resided on his phone. I told him he was actually renting it and that the mp3 files were not really on his phone but on a Spotify server. He argued it was "right there" on his device! He perceived it to be there, but the mp3 files did not reside on his phone. Even in the face of this overwhelming proof I had shown him that he did not have the mp3 files on his phone, he still clung to the belief that he "owned" the Rolling Stones album.
So why did he believe it to be so? Was it just his perception? He had such a powerful belief in it. Where did it come from?
"That thought and the attachment we decide to place upon it forms a belief (the precursor to a larger set of thoughts that support the original thought becomes a belief system). We then take action, mental or physical, that coincides with that belief/belief system. We then force our thoughts, and other people's too, to fit within our belief system. We reject our own thoughts and possibilities that don't coincide with our belief system (because of our attachment to our beliefs). If other people's thoughts don't fit within our belief system we label them wrong and reject them. Other people do the same thing with us. All of our perceptions are seen through the eyes of our belief systems. The sum of our belief systems is our reality."
– Spinova
He believed it because it is what he saw. He oftentimes uses this argument about seeing things with his "lying eyes". It is not the best way to debate an issue and strengthen your argument. It does not help he is very stubborn and unyielding in his thought patterns. As I stated earlier, it is either black or white. There is no gray in his world.
If you realize your perceptions are a function of your consciousness and you see everything in context of what you currently think and believe then you will be able to challenge those thoughts and beliefs.
Let's take another look at those women.
What about now? Would you say these women are unattractive now? What are your thoughts and perceptions of each of them now?
"But Ben, someone just put some makeup on these women and colored their hair". True enough, but does it not show you what you perceive as one way can actually be another way entirely? Especially when circumstances change.
It is always best to keep an open mind and look at all of the possibilities. If you practice this technique a different world will open up to you. It does take practice though and it is a skill like anything else.
I would contend you gather as much information as possible about any given person, circumstance or event. Look at it from all sides and analyze it. See if your perceptions are correct. Better still. See if they are your OWN.
Be the Best YOU at any age!

Don Miguel Ángel Ruiz (born 1952) is a Mexican author of New Age spiritualist and neoshamanistic texts. His most famous and influential work, The Four Agreements, was published in 1997 it advocates personal freedom from agreements and beliefs that we have made with ourselves and others that are creating limitation and unhappiness in our lives. Ultimately, it is about finding one's own integrity, self-love, and peace by way of absolving oneself from responsibility for the woes of others.
"I no longer agree to treat myself with disrespect. Every time a self-critical thought comes to mind, I will forgive the Judge and follow this comment with words of praise, self-acceptance, and love."
― Miguel Ruiz
"If you live in a past dream, you don't enjoy what is happening right now because you will always wish it to be different than it is. There is no time to miss anyone or anything because you are alive. Not enjoying what is happening right now is living in the past and being only half alive. This leads to self pity, suffering and tears."
― Miguel Ruiz
"Whatever happens around you, don't take it personally… Nothing other people do is because of you. It is because of themselves."
― Miguel Ruiz
1. Be Impeccable With Your Word
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
2. Don't Take Anything Personally
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.
3. Don't Make Assumptions
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
4. Always Do Your Best
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.
― Miguel Ruiz

UGANDA: Museveni goons teargas protesters of #SocialMediaTax
Tear gas at Uganda social media protest
STANDARD MEDIA – Ugandan police have fired tear gas and live bullets into the air to disperse a small protest over the social media tax.
The police also tried to arrest the leader of the protest, MP and musician Robert Kyagulany, who is popularly known as Bobi Wine, but he managed to escape.
The tax, introduced at the beginning of the month, requires people to pay 200 Uganda shillings [$0.05, £0.04] before they can use services like Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp.
Parliament approved the tax in May after President Yoweri Museveni had pushed for the changes, arguing that social media encouraged gossip.
But some argue that it is a way of restricting critical comments about the government.

PORT OF SPAIN –– Just over 36 hours after she was reported missing, the semi-nude body of Sharlene Somai was found in an overgrown Estate Management Business Development (EMBD) housing development at Petersfield, Chaguanas, just about three minutes away from her home.
It is believed the 23-year-old mother of a four-year-old boy was strangled to death, as there was a thin cord tied tightly around her neck and a plastic bag over her head. She was found face down wearing only a bra and blouse.
The discovery was made shortly after 1 p.m. by Crime Watch talk show host Ian Alleyne and cameraman Russell Basdeo. The T&T Guardian was told Alleyne received an anonymous tip and went to the area, where they saw the body among some dried shrubs.
Alleyne called a close male relative of Somai to the scene and he positively identified the body. The relative was later taken by police to the Chaguanas station for questioning.
Somai was last seen at her Petersfield Main Road, Chaguanas home at about 7.30 pm. Somai told relatives she was going to a nearby parlour to purchase items for her food establishment but never reached. Her cellphone was found the following day at 8 am by relatives. It is believed she was abducted from the compound she had been renting for the past three years. Somai lived there with her two brothers, Christopher and Anthony, mother Kamla, 35-year-old common-law-husband Suraj and her son Tyler Toolsie.
Somai's aunt, Wendy Singh, said after they found her cellphone they began to panic.
"My sister [referring to Kamla, Somai's mother] realised that at that point she never got their calls and when further checks were made they found out that she never even reached the parlour, so whoever took her must have taken her from right home there and her cellphone fell while they were taking her away," Singh said.
"I was told that while she left to go to the parlour, the child father went to bathe him and prepare him for bed. It was about 9 p.m. the boy father came out saying that he fell asleep and asked her mother for her, but was told that she didn't return from the parlour yet. We didn't find this unusual then because it was normal for her to go there and lime a little bit. Minutes to midnight he woke up again and asked her brother for her, but still no one had seen her and he thought she may have gone out."
Christopher said he shared a special bond with his sister and was very close to her. He added that he could not think why anyone would want to harm her as she was a "very kind and loving person who loved to socialise with everyone."
"She never had any enemies and was loved by all, so all this is so very strange," he said.
Her other brother, Anthony, said he believes she was killed because of envy and jealousy, "because I cannot really think of anything else as to why she was killed like that."
At the scene yesterday, relatives screamed in grief and were inconsolable. One relative was heard saying as she cried: "Her mother worked hard to see about her children. Nobody knows how she get big so, nobody knows and why they had to take someone who doesn't belong to them. Why!"
Chaguanas Mayor Gopaul Boodhan, who was at the scene, told the T&T Guardian the discovery came as a shock, especially given the fact that he was hosting a session with senior officials of the Central Police Division and foreign stakeholders on how to keep the community safe and secure at the same time her body was discovered.
"I think the country is in crisis and the Minister of National Security should bring out the army and the police. I am asking the minister to listen to the cries of the people because things like these rip communities apart," Boodhan said.
The murder toll stood at 112 up to last evening.

These DIY Paper Succulents in Mini Mason Jars are a great gift idea for Mom this Mother's Day or just make yourself a set to adorn a shelf!
I had so much fun making my DIY Paper Succulent Wall Art, I decided to do another paper succulent project! I have these on the windowsill in my office and I love that they're "plants" I don't have to remember to take care of (even if you don't only have to water succulents very often in the first place)!
Here's what you'll need to make this project:
- Silhouette CAMEO (or Portrait)
- Light Hold Mat (optional but awesome for working with paper)
- Cardstock in assorted colors
- Glue
- Designs used: 3D Succulent & Spiral Gardenia
- 4 oz Mason Jars
- Chalk Paint in assorted colors
- Fine Sand Paper
- Mod Podge Matte Clear Acrylic Sealer Spray
For the Jars:
- Paint 1-2 coats Chalk Paint on jars, allowing first coat to dry before applying second coat.
- Once fully dry (I let them dry overnight), lightly sand to distress.
- Spray with Mod Podge Clear Acrylic Sealer and allow to dry.
For the succulents/flowers:
- I cut out several succulents/flowers in various colors of cardstock in a and assembled them as shown above with tacky glue. I sized them to be 1-2 inches larger in diameter than the jar opening.
- You just kind of pinch the leaves and fold toward the center, offsetting each layer (from largest to smallest).
- The pink flower you simply rolls up and glue.
Sweet and simple!
Aren't the mini jars adorable?
Happy creating!
