Subscribe To Memorial Day Weekend Box Office: No Holiday Salvation For Terminator Updates
I've already subscribed
If Terminator Salvation is McG's attempt to shock new life into the franchise he should have brought a higher voltage defibrillator kit. As it stands now the fourth film in the series not only lost out to a family movie sequel, its watered down PG-13 rating couldn't help it do any better than its predecessor Rise of the Machines.
Amongst studio execs the prevailing thought seems to be that a PG-13 rated action flick will do better than one that's rated R. It's a reasonable expectation since you can appeal to a wider age-range audience, but if a PG-13 Terminator Salvation could only muster $43 million over the regular three-day weekend, a grittier, more traditional rated R version likely wouldn't have been able to compete at all with Terminator 3 which opened in 2003 at $44 million, or perhaps even Terminator 2 with its 1991 $31 million debut.
Estimates for the 4-Day Memorial Day weekend give Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian an even bigger jump on Terminator. It rounded out the holiday with a solid $70 million while Terminator Salvation made it all the way to $53 million. Terminator may have ended up making a decent opening, but the real question is how it will hold up in the long run. It has big strides to make if it's going to top the $204 million Terminator: Judgment Day made overall to become the most lucrative Terminator entry.
Dance Flick bowed in with $10.7 million for the regular weekend, $13.1 million for the holiday total. It's good news for a movie that only cost $25 million to make, but bad news for those of us tired of seeing non-funny spoof movie paraded through theaters.
The much buzzed Girlfriend Experience jumped from the film festival circuit into small theater release. With only 30 theaters it managed $200,000 over the four day holiday weekend.
Whether you're grilling out or headed to the movies this weekend, don't forget to take a moment to pause and reflect on the reason for the holiday: the memory of those who have served in our military in defense of the freedoms we enjoy every day.

When looking for a healthy way to use the one giant sweet potato I bought at the grocery store the other day (why? your guess is as good as mine), I discovered a ton of recipes updating culinary classics to include the deliciously orange vegetable, upping the nutritional content of the dish. High in fiber, beta-carotene, vitamins C and B6, sweet potatoes can be easily whipped up into an awesome alternative to French fries, a creamy base for a healthier potato salad, a component in a filling stuffing, or even as thickener in custard. This recipe is neither of those things, but instead a sort of hybrid side dish that various potato-based recipes inspired. The quinoa adds a filling, gluten-free graininess, and the broccoli a colorful crunch. On its own or accompanying a main dish, this creamy and wholesome salad is a supersatisfying alternative to a plain starch or carb, and better for you at that. So I ate mine with polska kielbasa, not especially known for its nutritional value. So what?

Sweet Potato Quinoa Salad
Serves 3
1 medium-large sweet potato
1 head of broccoli
1 ½ cup cooked quinoa (I used red)
¼ teaspoon garlic salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Place the sweet potato on a baking sheet and into the oven. Bake for 50 minutes, or until soft when stabbed with a fork.
While the potato is baking, steam the florets of the head of broccoli until bright green. Drain and set aside.
When the potato is done baking, run a knife down it long-ways right under the skin; there will be a pocket between the skin and the vegetable, and with a slit cut, it will be easy to peel all of the skin away. Roughly chop the sweet potato (it will be very mushy in some parts).
Add sweet potato to quinoa. Mash slightly with a fork, allowing some potato pieces to stay larger and some to be mashed into the grain entirely. Add the broccoli, salt and pepper and mix to combine.

disney's THE TRICKS OF OUR TRADE was a DISNEYLAND tv-special, on the air february 13, 1957. WALT DISNEY took the audience behind the scenes at the studio to show how the films were made. the MULTIPLANE CAMERA with the opening of BAMBI was a fascinating part of the show, as well as MILT KAHL, MARC DAVIS, FRANK THOMAS and OLLIE JOHNSTON drawing ballet studies for the DANCE OF THE HOURS in FANTASIA. I guess it was around 1959 when the show was on german television, in black/white of course. I was about ten years old and can still remember the whole event, it was 'magic'! and it probably laid the path for my future. a bit different though at that time because I was the most excited about the 'EFFECTS' chapter, where animators studied erupting lava, smashed glass windows and falling waterdrops. especially these waterdrop-frames like crowns stayed in my memory forever. I had no idea what slow-motion was, later I tried to capture these images with my very first 8mm camera, with 48 frames/sec. and since then I collected pictures of these beautiful captured drops wherever I could find them.

FW 298 - Chaos Decimator Engine, Zone Mortalis doors
Posted: Tue Mar 13, 2012 8:14 am
Hi there,
In this week's newsletter we delve deep within the Eye of Terror to unleash a new Chaos Daemon Engine, the Decimator, which is available to pre-order now alongside two new Zone Mortalis Door Sets. We're also now accepting reservation orders for the Forge World Open Day, and there's still time to get your AdeptiCon reservation order to us as well.
Chaos Decimator Daemon Engine
The Decimator is a brutal and hellish creation; the essence of a creature of the Warp bound and fettered within the armoured bulk of a bipedal war machine. Great slab-shoulders of tainted and defiled ceramite and adamantium, and a low-set 'head' give the Decimator a characteristic hunched posture which exudes brooding and vicious menace.
Inquisitorial savants do not know for sure what malefic party is responsible for this sinful innovation as the Decimator is capable of fielding a wide range of armament: rapid-firing Butcher Cannons, multi-barrelled Stormlasers, and great raking Siege Claws to name but a few. Towering over even the mighty Contemptor Pattern Dreadnoughts of the Adeptus Astartes, the Decimator is believed to be an attempt to bolster the ranks of such ancient devices that still serve the Traitor Legions. If this is the truth, then it is feared that many warriors of the Imperium will fall before these deadly war machines.
The Decimator Daemon Engine, designed by Daren Parrwood and Edgar Skomorowski, is an incredibly detailed full resin kit that stands roughly 4" (102mm) tall. Weapons for this fell war machine are sold separately, and Daren has designed three weapons kits that are released alongside the body kit: the Decimator Stormlaser, Decimator Siege Claw and Decimator Butcher Cannon. All these kits are available to pre-order now for despatch from Monday 2nd April, and you can also download experimental rules for the Decimator from the Forge World website.
Zone Mortalis Door Sets
Following hot on the heels of our brand new Realm of Battle Zone Mortalis scenery tiles come two sets of detailed resin blast doors. Adding a new tactical dimension to the brutal and bloody conflicts of the Zone Mortalis experimental rules expansion, the Door Sets can be operated in one of three different modes in a scenario.
The Large Blast Door comprises a single, multi-part blast door measuring 3 ¾" (95mm) across and 2 ½" (64mm) tall, while the Small Blast Door Set contains two narrower doors, each measuring 1 ¾" (45mm) across. These detailed resin kits, designed by Blake Spence, are available to pre-order now for despatch from Monday 2nd April.

When Mollie Woodworth wears her MIT Cheerleading jacket, people often think the jacket is a joke and want to order one. According to Mollie, one interaction went like this: "I was walking over the Harvard Bridge from Boston to MIT—this was when I was an undergrad—and someone tapped me on the shoulder and asked where I'd gotten the jacket. I was pretty flabbergasted—I mean, when you're within a stone's throw of MIT, I would think you'd just assume someone was a student. I don't recall her offering me money for it. It was awhile back, but I think I'd remember an offer of money, because undergrads are frivolous and use money to buy things like shoes, while graduate students just buy food. (The greatest success of my week this week so far has been buying lunch for $2 and eating it in 2 minutes. It was so cheap, and so efficient. Grad student nirvana.)"
Yes, MIT has a cheerleading squad. And Mollie is the squad coach. See more about her jacket in our "The Blood Will Tell" video.

Jun Lin was their 'pride and hope': letter from family
Posted Jun 12, 2012 by
Sherene Chen-See
Jun Lin, the victim of a brutal murder in Montreal, was his family's "pride and hope." The family has called for a swift extradition of the alleged murderer, Luka Magnotta, back to Canada.
In a touching
posted on Concordia University's website, Lin's parents thanked the Chinese and Canadian governments, Montreal police, Concordia University, the Chinese community in Montreal, and "many other kind-hearted people for their goodwill and humanitarian support ... at this exceptionally difficult time."
"Jun Lin was our beloved son.... he was our pride and hope. Jun Lin believed in Buddhism. He was very kind and always enjoyed helping others. To his parents, he was a loving and considerate son. To his sister, he was a big brother who was always there for her. The Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science at Concordia University told us he was an excellent student. His employer at the convenience store he worked at called him a model employee. His friends said he was optimistic, ambitious, and open minded. He always trusted people with a positive approach to life," said the letter.
"This tragic loss is not only a devastating attack to our family, but also has had a tremendous impact on the whole society. Love and trust must be rebuilt."
Concordia University and the people of Montreal have helped bring a positive light to this unfortunate situation. The university has gone to great efforts to remind people that Lin's death was a human tragedy. University officials and members of the Chinese students' association have created a
to help Lin's family with travel expenses, along with an
in Lin's memory, to acknowledge outstanding students at Concordia. "This award perfectly reflects Jun Lin's compassionate spirit," said the family.
"It is our wish to take this opportunity to turn a devastating situation into something positive that brings the goodness and peace back to society. To commemorate Jun Lin, please let us remember his kindness, diligence and love for life."
The letter calls for
swift extradition from Germany, "in order to bring justice and peace to our family, the Chinese community and the whole society."

The death of Phil Woods last week put me in mind of a special kind of jazz musician.
When I first became fanatical about what was then called "modern jazz," Phil Woods seemed to be on every record I bought. He played in Dizzy Gillespie's big band, he was on a Monk big band record, and in bands led by George Russell and Quincy Jones. He had his own quintet with fellow alto-man Gene Quill, recorded with Kenny Dorham, Donald Byrd, Red Garland, Oliver Nelson and Art Farmer, among others. Much later he did a nice album with Rob McConnell and the Boss Brass. The obit writers made a big deal out of the fact that Woods recorded solos on tracks by pop artists such as Paul Simon, Billy Joel and Steely Dan, but what mattered more was the great group he fronted from the '80s on which included, at one time, Tom Harrell on trumpet, and later Brian Lynch.
And what stuck out about him was the sheer abandon with which he played the instrument. Something about the enthusiasm and the energy he brought to any recording said: "I really love playing this horn
In a music that sometimes tends toward the introspective, this glad-to-be-here quality is refreshing and rare. As a trumpet player, I think of Louis Armstrong, of course, and later, Dizzy Gillespie. The guy enjoyed what he was doing. Clifford Brown had it, as did Lee Morgan.
It's a subjective thing, probably having a lot to do with the listener. For fun, make a list of the people you listen to who have this quality. I heard it in Pepper Adams and Johnny Griffin and the great trombonist Frank Rosolino. Art Blakey had it, and so did Ray Brown, but it's not a quality only associated with artists of years gone by. This year at the Ottawa jazz festival, I found it in spades in the quirkily intense group Kneebody. And if you go to jazz camp, catch Rémi Bolduc jamming in the boat house. That's what it is.
The other night I heard Ted Warren playing drums with Peter Hum's quintet. It was there too. When artists clearly love what they are doing, it is difficult for audiences not to appreciate them. This sense of engagement is not the same as showboating. I head for the exits when I feel that the soloist is trying to milk applause, when the saxophone player honks on one note, the trumpet player screeches incessantly or the drummer plays a five-minute solo.
That kind of showboating can be found in all the arts and, as in jazz, it attracts an audience. You can make your own list. But the people on it won't endure as long as the writers, painters, actors who show a real engagement with their art.
The movie A Walk in the Woods, sent me back to the writing of Bill Bryson. Nobody has more fun writing. Elmore Leonard had it. You can guess that Shakespeare had it. Margaret Atwood has it. Don't be deceived by her laconic public speaking. When she writes, she is going for it and having a hell of a great time, even when she's writing about the end of the world — actually, especially, when she's writing about the end of the world.
The great baseball philosopher, Willie Stargell (outfield, Pittsburgh Pirates), once said: "When they start the game, they don't yell, 'Work ball.' They say, 'Play ball.'" And we play jazz, don't we? Phil Woods certainly did.

Amen. Great article. The best concerts I have attended seem to be by artists who are having a lot of fun doing it. It is delightfully weird when they thank the audience for helping them have so much fun. Some of the worst concerts seem to have been when there is a certain grimness to the proceedings. like musicians working under a bandleader they do not like, or feel themselves to be on the precipice of harmonic turmoil, at the centrifugal edge of rhythmic disintegration or attempting to convey musical structures as complex any engineering project -- all of which can as much an occasion for fun and abandon as for stolid workmanship or terror. As an amateur, I am always at the line between competence and incompetence, safety and risk, triumph and failure. I'll have to wipe away that locked jaw and wrinkled forehead with a smile.
7/10/2015 05:56:18 pm
And I think of you, Charlie and trumpet, lost in your music.
7/10/2015 08:33:49 pm
Well said! The fun is what it is all about. Many of the Jazzworks faculty, both past and current, show it. It is always a treat to listen to Phil Woods.
22/10/2015 06:05:52 am
Fore sure. I saw Phil Woods in Paris with his "European Rhythm machine" * a few times when he was living in France (late 60s early 70s); his swinging enthusiasm was contagious, Re pop music, I believe I heard him with Freddie Hubbard on a Billy Joel recording & could not hear anything wrong with that, it sure did not hurt the music. Some of Steve Gadd's most famous licks are on pop records!

The year was 1961. I had graduated West Philadelphia High School in January 1959. All through high school my close friend and I had been following the civil rights developments going back to Little Rock. We couldn't believe the violence, the hatred and ignorance coming from the racist mobs desperately trying to hold on to the evil system of Jim Crow.
We wanted to get involved but we didn't know how to connect to the civil rights movement in our community.
After graduation I had managed to find a job as a messenger delivering offset plates for a small unionized printing shop in center city. It was strictly a muscle and shoe leather kind of job that paid minimum wage. But with the high unemployment rate among Black youth, I was glad I had the job.
That year I found a very reasonable one-bedroom apartment in a well-kept building in a neighborhood called Powelton Village. Powelton Village was a liberal, left-wing enclave just adjacent to the University of Pennsylvania campus in West Philly, surrounded on three sides by a Black working-class community which was part of what was know as "The Bottom".
In Powelton Village I met a lot of civil rights and peace activists and I was ready to get involved.
I was part of the effort to form a community-based civil rights group. We were predominantly-youth and called ourselves the West Philadelphia Action Committee; West Pac for short.
We wanted to do our part to help the fight against racism not only in the South but in our neighborhood as well. This was a youth group that was committed to actively exposing and ridding our community of discrimination and segregation.
When a barbershop in the U of P area would not cut the hair of an African student we protested. When any one was denied an apartment or wouldn't let a black youth use their facilities we were on the case.
The TV studios of WFIL were located in a predominantly Black neighborhood in West Philadelphia. This was where Dick Clark's American Bandstand originated.
Bandstand was a national TV show but at the time no Black teenagers appeared on the show. Black and Latino rock and roll artists performed and a lot of the dances they did originated in the Black community, but no Black teen dancers ever appeared on the show.
Black youth in Philly watched the show for the music and artists but they greatly resented the fact that our dances where being copied (dances like the Stroll, the Cha Cha Cha, the twist and the classic Philly Bop) and we couldn't be there to show how we danced. We resented that they would give "our" dances different names. The Cha Cha Cha,(Cuban) for example, was called the Chalypso and white artists were covering Black songs to give them a "white" kind of beat.
I mean Pat Boone doing Little Richard's Tutti Frutti – Come On! And, I should add that we also resented that they were getting rich off our culture.
But the big issue was why can't black, brown and white socialize together, dance together, make friendships and yes if it happens fall in love with one another like normal people do.
WPAC met and decided that we could send the message all across the country that youth could challenge the taboo against racially mixed dancing on TV by integrating American Bandstand.
We sat down and made a plan. First we had to find the right three couples who could do it. They had to be teenagers (which counted me out). They had to be visibly black. There was one light complexioned African American youth who wanted desperately to go on the show but on black and white TV we thought he would not appear to be black. The couples would have to be nicely dressed and of course and it was important that they knew how to dance. We discussed what we would do when we were denied and if we got in how to make sure they got on camera.
We also were afraid they would not let us in because the show was notorious for giving preference to "regulars." Putting it all together, we thought we would likely not get in. But we sure were going to try.
The day of reckoning arrived. Our three couples got on the line, which formed on the sidewalk outside of the studio. They were early enough so that the Bandstand people couldn't say they were out of room.
There was a person in control of the line and he was letting people in approvingly. When he got to the first of our three couples he stopped them and said, "Wait here I will be right back."
Our couples where expecting to be told to get off the line at that point. Instead, out of the door comes none other than Dick Clark. He smiled and stuck out his hand and said, "Welcome." Our couples were surprised and also a bit relieved I'm sure. They went in and yes they were seen on national TV. There were no incidents of hostility. There was no Little Rock, Arkansas, type reaction. I think our youth were nervous but they had a good time.
I don't remember whether we organized another test or not. Unfortunately, WPAC was eventually red-baited out of existence. But some of us became lifelong activists.
But all America knows that American Bandstand and the late Don Cornelius' Soul Train ultimately became quite integrated. They both were based on the West Coast and black, brown, white and Asian/Pacific youth were socializing and dancing together, as a regular occurrence over many decades.
Years later you could see that the styles of popular dancing were blending across racial lines.
Perhaps, to the consternation of the tea party types who consistently promote racial division to elect Republicans, history shows that people of different races and nationalities can get along socially and politically especially the younger generation.
The struggle to eliminate racism continues and while we have a great deal of distance to go we must not let them push us back to the horrors of Little Rock, Birmingham, Montgomery, and Selma. I think Dick Clark if he was alive today and most Americans would agree, we must go forward!

Of the ensemble's performance of the "Brandenburg" Concertos, Allan Kozinn of The New York Times wrote: "Its traversal was an explosion of energy, with consistently brisk tempos (even, comparatively speaking, in the slow movements), sharply articulated rhythms, and textures that combined an appealing period-instrument grittiness with the kind of transparency that brings every strand of Bach's counterpoint into focus." This group has appeared in several concerts in New York, including return engagements on the Music Before 1800 and Salon/Sanctuary concert series. A program entitled "The Three Fiddlers," featuring Monica Huggett, Cynthia Roberts, and Robert Mealy was presented by for Renaissance and Baroque of Pittsburgh. Juilliard Baroque made its debut at the Library of Congress, in Washington, D.C., in April 2012 in a concert featuring Bach's A Musical Offering.

Friday was quite the delightful evening, unlike most Friday's I headed down to Souk Jara to enjoy the cool breeze and for Jara-Quality time only to be squished between people who we're literally there blocking everyone's way walking back and forth and not letting anyone breath, so I took off down rainbow street with a few friends until we walked across Buffalo Wings and Rings. Tempted by the idea of boneless chicken wings, we took a corner and decided to dine there for the night.
We sat there for a good 10 minutes before a waitress approached us for our orders, only problem is that we never got our menu's to start with, which I found quite amusing, but I guess with the rush of a packed-Friday evening I was in too much of a good mood and let it slide without any comments, when we got out menu's I settled for an eight-piece Boneless Wings with Buffalo sauce while my friends settled traditional wings with Bleu cheese and a beer.
After what seemed for ever and annoying southern music that boomed through the speakers and a boring golf tutorial and a random TV Channel which I found quite annoying and inappropriate the food has arrived and silence pretty much over came us.
You know when the food is too good you just want dig in and you don't want anyone interrupting your indulgence, it was something like that. The boneless wings were drenched with buffalo sauce, which I had resisted for a few bites before I had to chunk down some water, and not the annoying kind of hot that makes you want to choke, it was a perfect match of buffalo dressing that doesn't make your eyes tear but makes your throat slightly dry as you consumer your food and the tip of your tongue slightly tingly from the spices sensations. Quite a unique experience if you ask me.
The place it self is enjoyable, very down to earth with a pleasant outdoor seating where we had chosen to dine, and an indoor seating which I find more appropriate for a hot summer day rather than a cool summer evening, the staff is very friendly and always welcome customers with a big smile which is great, but I think the kitchen needs to pick up it's pace with the food.

Millions of people suffer from the pain and discomfort of headaches; in fact more than 45 million people get repeat headaches, day after day. Headaches are one of the most common complaints and the most widely treated with home remedies. Physical and emotional stress and lack of sleep are common triggers for headaches but there can be an array of reasons why you're constantly getting headaches. Oftentimes, simple lifestyle changes and relaxation can often remedy these pains. But if you have consistent headaches that do not respond to treatment you may want to get in touch with your health care provider.
There is also an assortment of home remedies that may help your headache pain go away that is as easy as a quick trip to your pantry. Here are some ideas from Home-remedies-for-you.com:
Lemon- Useful as a remedy for various types of headaches. The juice of three or four slices of lemon squeezed in a cup of tea often causes immediate relief. You can also take the crust of a lemon, pound it into a fine paste and applied to the forehead or temples.
Apple- Also a remedy for all sorts of types of headaches. Remove the upper rind and inner core of a ripe apple and eat with a little salt on an empty stomach.
Henna- Useful for headaches resulting from exposure to hot sun. Rub henna flowers in vinegar and apply to the forehead.
Cinnamon- Useful for cold air headaches. Mix cinnamon with water to create a fine paste and apply over the temples and forehead.
Marjoram- If you have a nervous headache, an infusion of marjoram leaves in tea often helps.
Rosemary- This herb can be helpful in curing headaches resulting from cold. Take a handful of the herb, boil it in a liter of water and put it in a mug. Cover the head with a towel and inhale the steam until the headache is relieved.
Hot foot bath- Keep legs in a tub or bucket filled with hot water for fifteen minutes.
Proper nutrition, exercise and positive thinking- The best way to prevent headaches is to build up a resistance through proper nutrition, physical exercise and positive thinking. And drink lots of water!

Sometimes, it feels like 2014.
It would be such an easy feat to pour everything here when it gets too in my face (or when my head's way, way, wayyy above the clouds) but I can't, I won't and I shouldn't. I once in a while go to seek the great perhaps, as that book says, and I surprisingly strike gold, like the good *good* kind -- the kind that makes you beam with happiness, the kind that gets all your atoms excited, the kind that makes you selfish and not share it with anyone else, the kind that brings comfort because it's got that "Finally." feel to it, the kind that doesn't make you change one bit of yourself, the kind that polishes and boosts, the kind that you're, let's admit it, craving for, for a long time.
But -- yes, great things always come with buts -- I find myself once again in that familiar situation. Seems like I always find a way to crawl back in that box: perfect but untouchable. "You're uninvited, an unfortunate slight."
2014, I'm getting off this not so merry merry-go-round.

A GPS For Your Soul
From Tuesday February 7, 8:03 AM
To Thursday February 9, 10:41 AM
Sun in Aquarius Moon in Cancer
◀ Sun in Aquarius Moon in Gemini
Sun in Aquarius Moon in Leo ▶
You may feel like you are compelled to come out of your comfort zone. Your protective shell is cracking. You wonder where that disruption originated from. Try to figure out if someone is the cause or if you could no long differ the time to grow. The egg reminds you of the wonderful pre-natal safe period when all your needs were provided in a cozy and warm position. Thus, birth represents the first major life trauma. The newborn now needs to breath by himself, get his food from outside and adjust to the air ambiance instead of constant warm water. During our lifetime we will experience other traumatic births representing our existential quantum leaps. Painful as they may be, those births are blessings. Reaching higher levels in the mountain enlarges our panorama. Your life will never be like when you were in the egg. You now have a new destination. Look forward to the exciting future ahead of you. Enjoy the journey. Find the inspiration in Jim Rohn's quote:"You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight." Today's keyword is "Journey".
When relating this horoscope to your life, always ask yourself: "What is the question for which the card is the answer?"
In light and harmony. Always, Serge

This year almost ended with One Direction's hiatus as the biggest shake up in pop bands for 2016, but it looks like Fifth Harmony and Camila Cabello's exit are arriving just under the wire.
On Sunday night, Fifth Harmony announced that they had been informed via her representatives that original member Camila Cabello was leaving the group.
— Fifth Harmony (@FifthHarmony) December 19, 2016
Cabello has enjoyed the most solo success out of the group, which were put together in July 2012 on X Factor. In 2015, Cabelo released "I Know What You Did Last Summer" with rumoured boyfriend Shawn Mendes, and earlier this fall she teamed up with Machine Gun Kelly for "Bad Things."
Following Fifth Harmony's announcement, Cabello released her own strictly lowercase statement, saying "i (sic) was shocked to read the statement the fifth harmony account posted without my knowing. the girls were aware of my feelings through the long, much needed conversations about the future that we had during the tour."
— Camila Cabello (@camilacabello97) December 19, 2016
UPDATE: Cabello's "I Know What You Did Last Summer" collaborator Shawn Mendes has now weighed in on the feud, praising Cabello on his Twitter account and embedding her message.
"Pursue what makes your heart pound, happiness is our responsibility" beautifully said. https://t.co/uhAHCcJZMF
— Shawn Mendes (@ShawnMendes) December 20, 2016
The war of internet words is far from over, with Fifth Harmony releasing their second statement in 24 hours, this time making it clear that they intended to be in charge of their own narrative. As with any break up, the five stages of grief must be observed and right now it looks like we're somewhere between anger and depression with a hint of acceptance.
In the lengthy post signed by remaining members Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Dinah Jane and Lauren Jauregui, the women list in detail how they made every effort to keep Cabello in the group, including scheduling band meetings and group therapy sessions.
The band reveals they were informed by Cabello's management in November that the singer would be leaving the group, with Sunday night's final iHeartRadio Jingle Ball tour stop in Miami as the band's last performance for all five members who this year alone toured the world and played the iHeartRadio MMVAs, the American Music Awards, the Billboard Music Awards and the MTV EMAs.
The band ends on a high note (acceptance), with a promise of moving onwards and upwards. No word yet on whether they'll become Fourth Harmony or add a fifth member. Maybe a joint tour with the newly created Spice Girls group GEM? We'd buy tickets to that.
— Fifth Harmony (@FifthHarmony) December 20, 2016
It's only been a few hours since Fifth Harmony posted their second message, but there's a high likelihood that Cabello will respond publicly. In order to continue on with a solo career, Cabello must bring some of her Harmonizer fan base with her and that means clearing the air on what looks like a very messy exit from a beloved group.
At least it's taking some heat off Lauren Jauregui.

Aaron Hernandez could lose big financially if legal situation worsens
One point of emphasis for the NFL during the 2011 negotiations on a new collective bargaining agreement was inserting language into the new deal that would allow teams to recoup signing bonus money from players who are imprisoned or suspended.
If Aaron Hernandez winds up in legal trouble related to the investigation of a homicide of one of his associates, that tweak in the CBA's language could cost the New England Patriots tight end nearly $37 million.
Hernandez is in the midst of a five-year contract extension through the 2018 season that he signed last summer. With that deal, he got a $12.5 million signing bonus. Under the old CBA, that amount would've been fully guaranteed in the case of imprisonment, as the New York Giants learned.
ENDORSEMENT GONE:Cytosport terminates Hernandez's deal
DRAFT RISK:Hernandez's past scared some NFL teams
UN-PATRIOTIC:Locals believe Hernandez is guilty
In 2008, the Giants tried to withhold a $1 million payment of Plaxico Burress' signing bonus after he shot himself in the thigh. The NFL Players Association and the league went before a special master, with the Giants arguing Burress' actions should've voided the guarantee on his signing bonus.
At the time, the only language in the CBA concerning such issues stated a player would forfeit bonus money via a "willful" action, such as a holdout. The Giants argued Burress' carrying a gun into a club and discharging it himself constituted a willful action; the special master disagreed and ordered the team to pay Burress the $1 million remaining payment of his signing bonus.
The NFL wanted to strengthen the language to allow teams to recoup bonus money, and they did just that.
The new CBA states a player commits a "forfeitable breach" when he "willfully fails to report, practice or play" while healthy, retires, suffers an injury due to "an activity other than football which may involve a significant risk of personal injury" or "is unavailable to the team due to conduct by him that results in his incarceration."
With those guidelines in place, Hernandez stands to lose up to $10 million of his signing bonus, depending on the amount of time he would be incarcerated or suspended. He has earned one-fifth of the prorated bonus by playing last season, and that amount cannot be paid back. Any bonus forfeiture moving forward would be prorated based on how many weeks he would be unavailable to the Patriots.
"It's hard to say at this point what he's going to lose," said former player agent Joel Corry, now a contract and salary-cap analyst for the National Football Post and CBSSports.com "But even if he's not charged, it should trigger a suspension under the personal conduct policy."
Hernandez's signing bonus was broken into three payments: $6 million at the time of signing, $3.25 million this March and $3.25 million in March of 2014. Corry said, in the worst case scenario of Hernandez being imprisoned for the remainder of his contract, the Patriots would likely file a grievance to stop payment on the final installment and recoup $6.75 million of what's already been paid.
So of a deal that was worth $40 million over five years, Hernandez is guaranteed to earn $3.226 million of it (the first $2.5 million of his signing bonus, his $540,000 base salary from 2012, a $104,000 roster bonus last season and this year's $82,000 workout bonus), despite the fact he's already been paid the other $6.75 million in signing bonus that is subject to being recouped.
Of his base salaries this season and next, Hernandez was to have $2.46 million fully guaranteed if he was on the roster this spring, though those guarantees are subject to being voided as well.
If the Pats decide to cut Hernandez once any incarceration or suspension is complete, the hit on the salary cap would be the acceleration of any of the prorated signing bonus left to be paid. If, for example, Hernandez is out for this season and is cleared to return in 2014, the cap hit would be the final $7.5 million in bonus proration — money Hernandez would still be paid.

Disregarding the demand of the police, the protesters—who demand that Grigoryan is remanded in custody yet again—have blocked the road leading to Zvartnots International Airport of the capital city of Yerevan, news.am reports.
Several dozen activists have sat on the road and put up their hands.
The demonstrators do not wish to open the road.
On December 21, 2018, the Yerevan Court of General Jurisdiction released Manvel Grigoryan from custody on an AMD 25mn (approx. US$51,600) bail. The Prosecutor General's Office, however, has appealed this decision to the Criminal Court of Appeal.
Grigoryan was remanded in custody on June 19, and by the decision of the Yerevan Court of General Jurisdiction.

Q & A With Carl Moe
June 11, 2008
Senior Carl Moe is on the verge of his final meet as a Washington Husky. Moe, a native of Auburn, Wash., has battled through numerous injuries as one of the leaders of UW's track and cross country teams. Moe has earned two All-America honors in the distance medley relay, and will be making his second-straight NCAA appearance in the 3000m steeplechase this week in Des Moines, Iowa. After working out for the first time at Drake Stadium, the site of this year's national championship, Moe talked about his expectations for this meet, his journey through injuries, and life beyond the track.
GoHuskies.com: This is your fourth time now at an NCAA Championship meet. What is your favorite part about these races?
Carl Moe: I think it's just fun to be at the top level with all the guys, not just for racing but also going and watching the meet and seeing all the people you know. A lot of my friends from other teams this is the only time I see them all year. This is the coolest track meet in the U.S. other than the Olympic Trials and the U.S. Championships, so going and being a part of it is big for me.'
GH: Have you ever been to the Drake Stadium before and what are your thoughts having seen it now?
CM: 'Never have. I think it's going to be loud. We had a 4xMile team win here at the Drake Relays in the early 2000's, and I remember seeing a picture of (former Husky) Geoff Perry pretending to ride the baton, and I've seen that picture for so long and always wanted to go there. I'm excited, as long as it doesn't rain or flood.'
GH: Is your school work all wrapped up at this point?
CM: 'I pretty much was done in the fall. I took 12 credits in the fall, and took an online class in the winter and graduated after winter. So I've had no classes this quarter.'
GH: What was your degree in?
CM: 'I'm an economics major but I'm actually starting chiropractic school in the fall. It's a school in Atlanta. So that will be my new thing. Classes start July 8, so whether I'm racing in the Trials or watching the Trials, I'll leave straight from there.'
GH: One of your most exciting races this year must have been at the Ken Shannon, where you came so close to a four-minute mile in your last home meet. Can you take us through that race?
CM: 'It's funny because when Coach (Metcalf) told me I was going to run the mile I was like, `Why am I going to run a mile a week from Pac-10's?' I wasn't that excited. And then all of a sudden everyone on the team was super excited for it, there was a lot of energy coming out of the team for it. They were planning to have drums and all this stuff, so I thought that sounded pretty cool and I started getting a little more amped up for it. Then we get to the meet, it's lousy weather and windy and again I thought I didn't want to do it. But everyone was so excited I thought I had to go for it. We start the race and go out too hard and it's windy and I thought I would back off, but everyone was so loud, I just had to keep going. Then all of a sudden it was the crowd's race. It wasn't even me. The last lap I was hurting but I kind of forgot I was actually racing. I just looked around at everyone, it was so loud, and they were coming onto the track. It was a great way to finish, at home at least.'
GH: With this being your last collegiate meet, have you thought about putting the jersey on for the final time?
CM: 'I haven't thought about it yet. I'm hoping to still wear it at Trials. I still have that in the back of my head because that's the goal I've been working towards all year so I haven't though about it. But definitely getting on the track tomorrow I'll be like, `Alright, don't make this my last race.' I'm trying to go from race to race saying, `Don't let this be my last race in a Husky uniform.' So I probably won't realize it until after I'm done. But being my last NCAA Championships that's kind of hit. Partly exciting but partly sad.'
GH: Can you think back on when you first started running the steeplechase? What made you especially suited to that race?
CM: 'It really fits my personality as a runner and also my strengths. As a freshman I came in and Metcalf asked if I wanted to try it. I said sure but I thought I was going to be a miler. I started hurdling a little bit and I felt pretty smooth over hurdles so we said alright let's do our first steeple race. I ran at Mt. SAC in a loaded race with way too many people and the race went horribly. I got my knee split open, barely finished, ran like 9:16, hated it and walked up to coach afterwards and said I'd never run that race again. I just had to relax and get away from the meet. I came back and ran again at the WSU dual meet which was one of my most exciting races because I sat back and then kicked and got my first real big win. But at that meet I ruined my arch, and that set me back like a year and a half and is something I still deal with. So we decided not to worry about the steeple at all, we'll just get back on the track. I ran 1500 for two years but going into last year Metcalf told me he still thought I could be a good steepler and he said I could score at Pac-10's and score at NCAA's. So I tried it again and started hurdling and it started to come together. It fits me well because I like the idea that you go out controlled and you're hurdling and you feel good then all of a sudden you feel horrible but you still have to finish. Instead of going out hard to start, you need a more controlled effort.'
GH: Now at last year's NCAA meet you were disqualified for some sort of obstruction rule. What exactly happened in that run?
CM: 'That was the best I ever felt in any race my whole life. I felt like I was jogging the whole race. I ran 8:41 and just felt like I was jogging. I went to the back pack, worked my way up no problems and felt good. With about a thousand (meters) to go, me and two other athletes broke away from the field a little bit. We started running pretty fast and I looked back and saw a gap and thought I'd just stay relaxed and qualify and kind of coast in and save energy for the final. Then all of a sudden with 200 to go, I'd let off so much that two other guys passed me. But I still felt good and thought I would have a good kick after the water pit. So they were slowing down quite a bit after they passed me. So we go over the water pit, and they land and are kind of separated, so I thought I would go in-between them and the problem is when you go in the water pit you go inside the track and then you come back onto the track. So as I was going through, my hips were actually past theirs, but they started coming in and we all hit each other and our arms got caught. So since I was coming from behind when I made the pass, that's why I got DQ'd.'
GH: How hard was that for you to deal with?
CM: 'It hurt. We didn't find out until like three hours later. I still thought I was in and I had gone up to Coach afterwards and said let's figure out how to win this thing. I was all excited. I did a cool-down, stretched, went and showered, went out to dinner with my family and we were making toasts. Then right as the dinner came I got the phone call. It just hit me so hard. I couldn't eat anymore I had to just get up and leave, it was horrible. But I think it will help tomorrow. One, I think I'll have that extra hunger to get after it and go. And then two, I'm not looking back, I'm not slowing down. Once I start closing for home I'm not going to let anything slow me down. So hopefully it will help.'
GH: Injuries have been a problem throughout your career. Can you go through everything you've had to deal with?
CM: 'Ultimately I think it all stems from the same problem. I have some imbalances in my core, my hips, my legs. So I think it's all the same cause. My freshman year my arch started bothering me and I raced a little too much on it. So I got a pretty bad case of plantar fasciitis and took a year off without any running. Made a couple comebacks and it still really killed me. I've slept in a boot every night for the last four years every night, which is horrible. Finally got over that and I came back and had track season, and then the first cross country race I slipped and fell at the start line. Something happened where I pinched the peroneal nerve in my right leg. I dealt with that for a full year, took a bunch of time off, made a comeback for indoor track, and then it came back again after track season. I made another comeback for last year's track season and had no problems. My sister got married and I got sick a little bit so I was all over the place, but I was still training really well. Then I came back to cross country this season and I had the confidence that I had when I was a freshman where I thought I was going to beat anyone I run against. Then in a workout, somehow I tweaked something in the nerves again, and was out again. So I took a bunch of time off and cross-trained. I've never worked so hard cross-training as I did this winter, and I think it's paying off now. But I've been injured so much that it's kind of a disaster.'
GH: So are you looking towards the Olympic Trials as sort of your last big meet?
CM: 'It's kind of my victory lap. As much as I'd like to compete, and be at my peak form, and go race fast, I'm just happy to be there. My sister lives in Eugene so all my family is going to spend the whole week down there. It's right before I leave for school for three years so I'm just going to go enjoy myself. I'd love to make the final, but if I don't make the final I'm going to be okay.'
GH: What do you think your involvement with running will be after this season?
CM: 'I have no idea. I'd like to say I'm going to go and start lifting weights and playing soccer and doing fun sports. I'm competitive so I may do different things, but I could find myself a year from now trying to run professionally again. Definitely, going to chiropractic school, I'm going to try and get my masters in exercise science as well. I plan to be heavily involved in athletics. I want to figure out a way to focus on athletes in terms of not just chiropractic care but working on injury treatment and injury prevention and stuff that I wish I had been able to go through. So in terms of that and my practice, I think that's where I'll substitute my running with helping others.'
GH: So looking back now to when you first came to Washington, in what ways do you think you've changed most?
CM: 'I'm definitely a lot less naïve. Coming in I didn't really see the big picture at all. I just thought I was here to run. I came in as one of the better high school runners coming to college, and I had all these high expectations, and I figured if I didn't reach those I was a failure. I didn't care about school, I just wanted to run. I think the injuries--obviously I would have liked to be healthy and perform--but I think the injuries helped me grow a lot. Spiritually I've found strength in my faith, my family, my friends. I've actually planned a life that I'm proud of and what I want to do instead of just worrying about running. If you put everything into running you'll be an unhappy person all the time. You can look at runners who are so focused on running, and they're the worst people to hang out with because they're depressed all the time. So I think in terms of that I've realized that there's not one thing that's so important that it should take over your life. But I'm happy with my accomplishments athletically too.'

Gambian Diaspora
Signs of Separation and Symbiosis (2015)

Chant, Sylvia
Africa at LSE Blog
Travelling abroad to the West may be high risk, but it is one many Gambians are prepared to take in the pursuit of better economic opportunities. In this post, LSE's Sylvia Chant explores the routes abroad for some Gambians and how they make their way back.
Although exact numbers are not known, the tiny West African nation of The Gambia, which in itself is comprised of around one-fifth of migrants from other parts of Africa (especially neighbouring nations such as Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Mali, and Sierra Leone), allegedly possesses a diasporic population of up to 70,000. This represents around 4% of the national total, making The Gambia's net migration rate (migrants per 1000 people), the tenth highest in Africa (Kebbeh, 2013).

Paul Allan and the team at Rhino Building Solutions have worked with private and professional customers all around Preston and Lancashire; that's why we're known as the North West's roofing specialist! There's nothing that delights us more than hearing the positive feedback from each client, whether it's regarding our reliability, high-quality work or personal service!
Here are some kind words from just a few of our happy customers.
"Just recently had an orangery built and a garden makeover. I'm really pleased with it. Fantastic job and a great set of lads—would recommend Rhino to anyone. Cheers to all at Rhino."
— Michael Dixon, Preston
"Paul and the team at Rhino Building Solutions were so good–our new fibreglass roofing, windows, fascias and cladding are the talk of the street. People have even knocked on my door to say what a good job they are!"
— Mr & Mrs Davidson, Kirkham
"I emailed Paul from Scotland on behalf of my mother and father who live in Clifton. Everything was done very professionally."
— Chris McDermott, Edinburgh
"I was looking for a roofer in Preston and Rhino came highly recommended by several of my neighbours. When Paul and the team arrived, I knew exactly why! They were professional, thorough and at a fair price."
— Phillip Coldwell, Preston
"I would highly recommend Rhino Building Solutions, I liked that Paul is the direct contact and does the job himself."
— Mr Isherwood, Preston
"Very impressed. Paul and his team were very polite and professional."
— Mr Simpson, Broughton
"Paul and the Rhino team were great from start to finish–polite, tidy and most of all, reliable!"
— Mrs Shepherd, Freckleton
"I contacted Paul from London for work I needed doing on two sites in the North West. It was a pleasure working with Rhino Building Solutions."
— Karl (EH Group), London
"After calling various companies who didn't even manage to turn up and give me a quote, I found Rhino. Paul arrived promptly and gave me a quote. The work done by the roofers, plasterers and electrician was done with efficiency, professionalism and attention to detail. I now have a fully functioning room instead of a conservatory that was too hot in summer and freezing in winter—at a reasonable price. I fully recommend this company—if only there were more like them."
— Chrissy Winter, Warton
"Rhino Building Solutions recently completed a major job on our house, replacing and repairing much of the roof, installing new windows and lead flashing. From the first contact to completion of the job the company was helpful, informative and professional. They dealt with all our requirements and were not afraid to offer alternative suggestions based on their knowledge and experience. Whilst not the cheapest quote they were not the most expensive and were worth every penny. They came in within budget and completed the work within the timescale they had suggested. Overall we were delighted with Paul and his team and would not hesitate to ask them to return to do any other jobs we require doing on the house."
— Neil and Michelle Fox, Newton with Scales

If I buy a new motherboard, how can I know which graphic card and processor to buy?
If I buy a new motherboard, how can I know which graphic card and processor to buy?
Motherboards have a specific CPU socket ie: AMD has AM3 and AM4. Intel has many different socket numbers. All modern graphic cards will work in any motherboard. You will also need to get the right memory. You have to first answer what you want to do with your computer ie: gaming, rendering, or just web browsing. Then research your parts and come up with a budget. PCper has put together the leaderboard that has 4 different types of systems and budgets: https://www.pcper.com/hwlb
Feel free to post any other questions you have.
AMD 8350 w/Xigmatek Dark Knight Night Hawk Ed - Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 w/4x4gb GSkill Ripjaws 1600 CL7 - Samsung 850 Evo 500gb - WD Black 5Tb - Gigabyte 980 Ti Xtreme Gaming OC Ed - Win 10 Pro 64bit - Lite-On iHES108 - White Corsair 500r w/Corsair AX860i 860W - ASUS VG248QE 144Hz

Ebay: http://myworld.ebay.com/sttubs/
They should have list of specifications that will list all the information you need. for example, Newegg will tell you the socket type, memory capacity, memory standard, form factor, pci slots, and everything else that should be fit on it.

Have you ever wondered how legislation passes through Parliament? This is a quick guide with some links to the House of Commons website for more background.
The Parliament Act (1911) ensured the supremacy of the House of Commons by limiting the legislation-blocking powers of the House of Lords. Before then, legislation would sometimes be deliberated on for a long time, for example Members did not agree on the 1909 Budget and the 1832 Reform Act had three first readings, as it was introduced on three different occasions.
When a bill is first introduced to Parliament, a copy is placed on the table in the Chamber at the House of Commons. This is called a First Reading.
The bill then receives a Second Reading. A major government bill will normally be debated for about six hours, although it may spend far longer.
The Second Reading is the first stage at which a Government bill can be defeated. However, this has not happened since 1986, when the Shops Bill, designed to relax the law on Sunday Trading was defeated in the Commons.
After its Second Reading, the bill moves to its committee stage. This usually takes place in a public bill committee which sits with MPs representing the same voting balance as the Commons. The committee will examine each part and aspect of the bill. The committee debates proposed amendments to existing clauses and schedules but the Government may also add new clauses and schedules.
The Report stage back in the Commons provides an opportunity for Members who were not on the public bill committee to propose further amendments to the bill.
The last Commons stage of a bill is the Third Reading, usually taken straight after the conclusion of the Report stage. This enables the House to take an overview of the bill, as changed in Committee or on Report. No changes may be made at this stage. Debates on Third Reading are usually very short.
Once it has passed its Third Reading in the Commons, the bill is sent to the Lords, where the process is repeated.
When the content of the legislation has been agreed between the Houses, the bill is submitted for the Royal Assent, where the Queen will approve and sign the bill. After signification of Royal Assent, the bill becomes an Act. Some Acts are brought into force immediately and others at a date specified in the Act.
In the minority of cases, bills can be introduced in the House of Lords and then progress through the House of Commons. Interestingly, a recent example of this is the Crime and Courts Bill, which introduces a new offence of driving or being in charge of a motor vehicle with a concentration of a controlled drug above a specified limit, has just had its second reading in the House of Commons.
You can track the progress of a Bill on Parliament's website. A full list of Bills before Parliament can be viewed here, so if you are unsure about where we are on any legislation you can follow it online.

Further Fed tightening could prove too much for the rest of the world
27 September 2018
The US Federal Reserve hiked interest rates at the September meeting, as widely expected. The overall tone was upbeat, although Chairman Jerome Powell chose to strike a relatively dovish note at the press conference, presumably making room for more flexibility around the future policy path given the multitude of uncertainties.
Very high bar
For now, activity strength continues and inflationary and wage pressures are becoming more broad-based, giving the Fed enough confidence to carry on with its hiking cycle. While trade tensions have risen over the past few weeks, affecting sentiment to some extent, there has not been enough evidence to suggest tariffs are having a significant negative impact on the economy, at least for now.
With the fiscal stimulus set to continue boosting growth through the first half of 2019, the bar for the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to change its message or steer away from the policy path communicated via the so-called dot plot of individual members' expectations is currently very high.
Too aggressive
However, as the fiscal boost starts to wane and broad financial conditions tighten further, growth should decelerate towards trend - potentially quite quickly - around the middle of 2019, as the economic cycle matures. While the dot plot suggests a fourth hike this year and three more next year, this is likely to prove too aggressive for the US economy, especially considering that the net impact of quantitative tightening running in the background is still ambiguous.
This tightening is also likely to prove too much for the rest of the world. Emerging market economies, in particular, have faced tighter financial conditions already this year, allowing vulnerabilities to resurface as capital flows started reversing.
So far, the related stress in countries such as Turkey has remained quite isolated, but as global liquidity tightens further, such stresses could become systemic. With trade war rhetoric unlikely to de-escalate any time soon, the overall risks to US and global growth are clearly skewed to the downside.
This means the Fed will have to strike a more cautious tone, slowing the pace of tightening next year - but we are not there yet.

As 2018 begins, planning is underway for six construction projects that increase capacity to address current and projected enrollment growth as well as update or replace buildings that are past their useful lifespan.
Bagley Elementary School's existing building will be renovated and modernized. A new addition will be built with eight new classrooms with learning support spaces. The gymnasium will be expanded. Construction is expected to begin in Spring 2019 with the school opening for students in Fall 2020.
An addition to Ingraham High School will increase the school's capacity by up to 500 additional students. It will help relieve overcrowding in north-end high schools. Construction will begin this spring and the addition is expected to open for students in Fall 2019.
Magnolia School will undergo renovations to modernize the building in preparation for re-opening to address current and future capacity challenges. Construction is expected to begin this year with the opening in Fall 2019.
Queen Anne Elementary will gain 200 seats of capacity and a gymnasium, thanks to an addition to the school. Construction is scheduled to begin in June with students returning from an interim location in Fall 2019.
Planning continues for Webster School in Ballard, which will be modernized and brought back into service in the Fall 2020. Many may know this school as the Nordic Heritage Museum. The museum is moving this year and construction on the Webster building will start in the fall.
Wing Luke Elementary has major systems and structural challenges. The existing buildings will be removed and a new school will be built to support best learning practices for elementary schools. The new school will provide capacity for up to 650 students, adding elementary capacity in southeast Seattle.
In addition, three projects will continue construction during 2018: the modernization and addition at Loyal Heights Elementary, which will be completed by Fall 2018, modernization of E.C. Hughes, which opens Fall 2018, and the modernization at the Lincoln building, which will be reopened in Fall 2019 to provide space for up to 1,600 high school students.
Enrollment in Seattle Public Schools has grown by 8,000 students in the past 10 years, creating a need to add more classroom space and related facilities. The district uses funds from voter-approved capital levies (taxes on local homeowners) to pay for new schools and to modernize and expand existing schools.
The Building Excellence IV (BEX IV) Capital Levy was approved by voters in 2013 and is funding the projects at Bagley, Lincoln, Loyal Heights, Queen Anne and Wing Luke. In 2016, voters approved the Buildings, Technology and Academics IV (BTA IV) Capital Levy, which is providing funding for the projects at Hughes, Ingraham, Magnolia and Webster. More information about BTA and BEX can be found on the Capital Projects and Planning webpages.
