THE Three Choirs Festival returns to the Faithful City this summer with William Shakespeare's 450th birthday and the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War providing the main themes.
The 287th meeting of the three choirs of Gloucester, Hereford and Worcester will once again unite the great cathedral cities from Saturday, July 26 to Saturday, August 2, 299 years on from the birth of the festival in 1715.
Peter Nardone, the fesitval's artistic director, has been master of the choristers at the cathedral since 2012 and his debut programme of concerts and services has been influenced by memories of attending the festival for the first time 30 years ago.
He is particularly drawing on the "life-changing experience" of hearing Edward Elgar's the Apostles, which will be conducted by Adrian Partington this year.
Dr Nardone said: "I am both pleased and proud to offer you this programme – my first as Artistic Director. I have unashamedly programmed a festival for you, the listeners.
"Glorious music loved by players, singers and audience,will reverberate 'in perfect diapason' - Milton's words, not mine - through Worcester's great cathedral."
Baritone Roderick Williams opens the concert programme with the setting of Housman's A Shropshire Lad by composer George Butterworth, who was killed on a WWI battlefield, and the festival chorus makes its debut during Benjamin Britten's War Requiem.
Choristers from the three cathedrals will join singers from Chemnitz in Germany and resident orchestra the Philharmonia to give a world premiere of A Foreign Field by the German composer Torsten Rasch on Wednesday, July 30.
It is a choral memorial to those on both sides who died in the First World War.
William Walton's incidental music for Shakespeare's epic drama of conflict Henry V links the two festival themes in a concert conducted by John Wilson and Shakespeare's Globe present their touring production of Much Ado about Nothing.
Young singers will be united in the Festival Youth Choir, who perform the Mass in G Minor by Ralph Vaughan William on Monday, July 28.
Members of the public can take part in workshops like Pack Up Your Troubles with Piers Maxim on Tuesday, July 29 and the Carnival Band lead a children's concert in the Angel Centre, Angel Place, on Wednesday, July 30.
Other highlights include visits from the Sacconi Quartet, the King's Singers, the Rodolfus Choir and the National Youth Orchestra of Scotland.
The festival finale on the Saturday, August 2 is entitled Best of British and features crowd-pleasing works such as Handel's Zadok the Priest, Elgar's Sea Pictures and Parry's I Was Glad.

{{#set:Type={{{type}}}|Summary=Songweavers are spellcasters that weaves magic into melodies.}}
Hybrid SongweaverEdit
Music is in your heart and soul, and your songs come from this innate musical talent, however the power of the music is weaker in you than in other songweavers. Perhaps you inherited some of the music from a songweaver parent, but not the full power of the song, or perhaps you neglected to practice the art to the requisite degree.
Regardless of the reason, you lack the full power of the song that a full member of a class can sing, but you are a more than capable musician, and you make up for what you lack in musical talent with training in another class.
|Power Source:
|Key Abilities:
|Charisma, Dexterity, Wisdom
|Armor Proficiencies:
|Cloth, Leather, Hide
|Weapon Proficiencies:
|Simple melee, military melee, simple ranged
|Bells, Flutes, Harps, Lutes
|Bonus to Defense:
|+1 Reflex or Will
|Hit Points at 1st Level:
|Hit Points per Level Gained:
|Healing Surges per Day:
|Class Skills:
|Acrobatics (Dex), Arcana (Cha), Bluff (Cha), Diplomacy (Cha), Heal (Wis), History (Int), Insight (Wis), Nature (Wis), Perception (Wis), Stealth (Dex)
|Class Features:
|Arcane Instrument Mastery, Healing Melody (Hybrid)
|Hybrid Talent Options:
|Songweaver Armor Proficiency, Arcane Healer, Lesser Spells, Ritual Casting
Class FeaturesEdit
Hybrid Songweaver have the following class features.
Arcane Instrument Proficiency: This class feature functions exactly as the Songweaver class feature.
Healing Melody (Hybrid): You gain the songweaver power majestic word. This power functions as normal, except that you can only use it once per encounter.
Hybrid Talent OptionsEdit
If you take the Hybrid Talent feat, you can select one of the following options.
Songweaver Armor Proficiency You gain proficiency with leather armor and hide armor.
Arcane Healer: This class feature functions exactly as the songweaver class feature.
Lesser Spells (Hybrid): This class feature functions exactly as the songweaver class feature, except that you can only use Healing touch once per encounter.
Ritual Casting: This class feature functions exactly as the songweaver class feature.
Suggested CombinationsEdit
The songweaver and sorcerer class make a good hybrid combination, with primary ability score overlap, and Dexterity as an overlapping secondary ability score. Sorcerer powers can provide the songweaver with useful ranged powers and extra bursts.
A songweaver/paladin can hold individual enemies in place while still attacking multiple foes with songweaver powers and maintaining accuracy with Charisma-based paladin attacks.
A songweaver/warlock can potentially make a good combination, though not to the same degree as a songweaver/sorcerer.

My first U2 GIGTravelled from Edinburgh and arrived on the day of the concert with my friends and was treated to an epic concert, I thought Bruce springsteen and the E street band at Hyde park (London) over a year earlier was an epic concert, U2 beats it, and it blew my mind especially Mercy and north star, will be seeing U2 again and again no doubt about it/
14 April, 2011
My birthday celebration with U2!I'll never forget this day! I traveled from Brazil to Paris just to see U2 playing at my 22 years birthday! It was the best gift someone can have! The band played in a beautiful shape,and those two new songs were awesome to hear! Thank you for the best birthday celebration ever, U2!
10 November, 2010
My FirstIts now Mid November and i still feel like it was only yesterday when i think about my 4 days in Paris and the concert. Dont think i'll ever lose that feeling! My first U2 gig. Would love to see the 360 in hampden Park!
02 October, 2010
It was an amazing night...Everyday i remember this show, it was fantastic !Thank you for that ! And please come back to Paris in 2011 !
24 September, 2010
Fantastic energythe best show i see. The band is on the top ! I've loved Miss Sarajevo, City of blinding lights aud all the set list. A fantastic "souvenir" .Thanks guy's
23 September, 2010
I will followAnother FANTABULOUS concert (3rd this year, 4th during 360 and 6th U2). For me - and some from my group of friends who had travelled from Denmark to celebrate a friend's 30th at the Stade de France - the show really got started with "I will follow" - and then it just went on from there. We had a great time - had started our own singing during the intermission after Interpol much to the dismay of the French around us. Now our biggest problem is when we can come to the next show - it is highly addictive!! Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it is going to be this year but hopefully next year's summer vacation will be spent in the States attending as many concerts as possible. And hopefully "Pride" will be on one of those set-lists? Until then, will have to settle with DVDs, maybe a monthly "dose" of U2 3D and concerts with other bands, though nothing compares to U2 live....

Fun in parisTravelled from dublin with two friends for the concert and what a trip.The concert was breathtaking along with the venue.What made the night special was the buzz outside the stadium at the bars at the rear of the stade de france. we met people from liverpool,leeds,canada,potrugal,holland and a few french as well and the craic before and after the show was unbelievable with a dj who played U2 for seven hours and never played a song twice.It was our first time to travel away to see U2 and will not be the last.
23 September, 2010
THANK U2 EXISTIt was realy a wonderful concert. Wonderful voice of Bono. Wonderful Guitar of The Edge Wonderful Rythm with Larry and Adam. Very good french by Bono with humor. The sound was realy good, realy better than on the July 11th 2009 Very difficult to say what was the best moment - Probably Miss Sarajevo for emotion - Vertigo for the madness in the stadium - Walk On for the political message - With or without you for the communion with the audience - For all of that , it's unforgettable WE THANK YOU
23 September, 2010
A magic nightNow I have seen a few shows, but the athmosphere in Paris was really fantastic and the sound was excellent. Once again Miss Sarajevo was super, but I think also Elevation is a terrific live song. Now I will have to live on show memories...do not know when next show for me will be...
22 September, 2010
GoosebumpsThe concert in Belgium was sold out, so we went to Paris. A very nice weekend with a awesome concert of U2. What a voice!!! And what a show... And it was MAGNIFICENT. Also a special thanks to the stage builders. That is so much work, every week in another country. Special thumbs up. Now when I hear a song on the radio of U2 than I get goosebumps. I hope that I will see you guys again. Well done everybody, what a band. XXX Anneleen Lovenaer XXX
21 September, 2010
Oh, what a nightThanks, U2 for this beautiful night.Miss Sarajevo was the highlight of the night for me it gives me tears in my eyes so beautiful.Thanks Bono for this beautiful song. Lots of love from Holland.
21 September, 2010
3rd visit to Paris and things only get bSaturday night was my third visit to Paris to see the band, i live in Derbyshire, England, it was worth having to get up at 3am to get a flight. What a night it was. This show only gets better and better every time you see it. The energy Bono has, how does he do it. Just read the comments Bono made about Larry, lol, i now understand what he said and how true. They need to come back to England soon, so so gutted no more plans to go and see the band :-(
21 September, 2010

What a fabulous concert! the highlight of a wonderful weekend in Paris! the new songs were brill, look forward to more new material soon. Have to say was BLOWN AWAY by Bono's voice on MIss Sarajevo!!! has to be the best have ever heard him sing, could not believe it!!! thanx once more Ladsfor a brilliant show!! here's to the next one....
21 September, 2010
Bono's commentThis is a reply to Jill62's ps! Bono introduced Larry as "notre beau gosse" which could be translated as "the heartthrob of the band"! This was a great moment for us French-speaking people because Bono speaks excellent French! And with a lot of humour! He introduced himself as "le bossu de Notre-Dame" (Notre Dame hunchback)! Well he's got to be the best looking and most talented hunchback I've ever seen :) Thank YOU2
21 September, 2010

21 September, 2010
Brussels Sept 22ndTomorrow the waiting will find an ending =) I'm looking forward to see you again, in my country this time! Last year I saw you in Gelsenkirchen on August 3rd. I wish you could sing "Kite" tomorrow, each time I heard this song I think about my mum who died five years ago when I only was 14. I'm sure it's gonna be great, you're going to elevate me once again! See you tomorrow! I'll be the one who will shout louder than the other :) Love you

About The SHE Show
The SHE Show has quickly become one of the leading Safety, Health and Environment conference led events and exhibition, attracting 250-350 senior SHE Professionals. Created to really make a difference in the industry, we strongly believe that "if you do what you have always done you will get what you've always got". In order to truly make that difference, we feel that everyone must want and need to be prepared for a new dynamic way of thinking, cascading from senior management right down throughout the work force and supply chain. The maverick approach of The SHE Show will question, challenge and make you re-evaluate the way you and your organisation perceives safety, health and environment.
Client Testimonials
The speakers are always excellent and always thought provoking. Still the best EH&S conference by far!!
This is my third year of attending and it was another great event. Always something new to learn from a variety of inspirational speakers.
I can genuinely say that this was the best SHE event that I have attended in my 27 year career in safety. The emphasis upon people, leadership and behaviour made a refreshing change and is a welcome contrast to the usual focus upon legislation, statistics and standards that is broadcast at many such events. The standard of the speakers not only held my interest, but also stimulated thought and ideas.
I came away with a very positive impression of having had a worthwhile 12 hour round trip to an informative conference which is the best I have been to in years/ The personal touch seems to work well
Always worth the time out of the business, so I make sure that I attend at least one a year!
This is the first time I have attended The SHE show and have to say it was an all round excellent experience. I very much enjoyed the topics being discussed which made a refreshing change from regulations and compliance being constantly driven home. The content of the topics at The SHE show should help leaders promote and implement change for the better of everyone.
The SHE Shows have such a huge personality … Relaxed atmosphere, loads of networking opportunities and an extremely high calibre of attendees who want to share ideas. Honeywell Safety Products are delighted to now be a Headline Sponsor of all 3 SHE Shows

In reference to the previous blog posted the 23rd November 2007 we announce that the Don Kosaken Chor Wanja Hlibka has alighted at onclassical.com with their only available album: The Russian world.
We are simply honoured to host this group, and we hope that you too might feel the full impact of their expressive force and the historical sense.

Many thanks!

A video for our myspace.com/onclassical... enjoy!
See the show at slide.com (you may comment it, share it...).
Don Kosaken Chor is a male folk ensemble from the cold Russia. For more than 50 years the choir travelled throughout the world with Sergej Jaroff enjoying incredible success. At the time, the group recorded with no less than Deutsche Grammophone (I've been able to buy such an LP at an antiques market in Piazzola sul Brenta [near Padua]). This morning I found this 1930 documentary at YouTube...
Since 1991 the group is conducted by Wanja Hlibka, who at the time was one of its soloists (and in fact, all the members of the Don Kosaken Chor are amongst the greatest solosists that Russia has ever provided).
I have personally been to four of their concerts and I must admit I was extremely impressed. It was like standing before monuments, and the vibration was such that the dynamics were at the limits of tolerance (90 db), with intervals that cover extensions of over 4 and a half octaves (this is absolutely great on a sole male choir!), the organ sounds produced soft tones alternated with folkloristic effects so typical of Russia.
This post just to tell you that the only CD they ever recorded (as a dedicated recording not a live concert) will be soon available at onclassical.com. I am simply honoured to publish this group and I hope it will be the first of a series of famous vocal groups. A big thank you goes to the manager of the Kosaken Chor, Birgit Sziele, who has followed and supported onclassical.com since 2003!
We have just released a new virtuoso artist: Pierre Feraux is a young virtuoso pianist who studied at the Royal Conservatory of Mons. He also graduated with top marks from the Queen Elizabeth College of Music (Waterloo, Belgium).
Pierre has received many other prizes and awards in piano competitions: he has won the Andrée Charlier Piano Competition, the National Pro Civitate Competition, the Excellentia Piano Competition, and the J. Musiciens Contest.
In the album released at onclassical.com he performs the Liszt Sonata in b minor - for which he received a Special Award at the Royal College of Music from which he recently graduated. He then proposes Haydn's Sonata... and the Brahms' Variations op. 24. The pathos demonstrated leaves no space for doubts or technical imprecision: Feraux is a mature artist able to expess his musical thought without a glimpse of uncertainty.
Other new release: our first album compilation.
This is a collection of the best recordings for each instrument already present on onclassical.com. It's a good start to begin listening to our catalogue and quality.

Burning the Page: The Ebook Revolution and the Future of Reading by Jason Merkoski
Published by Sourcebooks
Eventually the "e" will be dropped, and books will be assumed to be digital, just as most music is now digital; after all, we don't refer to music as e-music.
You have to ask yourself whether you trust these men (because they are mostly men – and mostly white men, at that). Do you trust them to make decisions for you on what books you're permitted to buy?
–Jason Merkoski, Burning the Page
Once upon a time, Jason Merkoski worked for Amazon, where he helped make the first iteration of a little product you might have heard of, something they call the Kindle. Actually, Merkoski was involved in ebooks even pre-Kindle, and as someone who has been dealing with this technology for decades, Merkoski not only has information about the format's past, but also a vision for its future.
What I really like about Burning the Page is the way that Merkoski is somewhat ambivalent about the digital future. For instance, the above quote about white men and their hold over ebook stores and distribution means. However, he clearly sees ebooks as the wave of the future, and something that will quite likely completely supplant new print books. I can't say I'm crazy about the idea of print books completely disappearing (after all, I still don't trust my ereader in the bathtub), but some of his ideas of exceptionally social reading or essentially livestreaming books from an author to a reader basically terrify me as a reader. Socialization around reading is great, but having it completely integrated into every sentence goes so far beyond the past changes in format that it seems completely recreate reading, rather than simply recreating books.
Although I had issues with some of Merkoski's predictions, I think Burning the Page is an important read for those interested in the past, present, and future of digital books.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder testified behind closed doors Wednesday about his role taking Detroit into bankruptcy, a rare interview with lawyers for creditors who pressed him about retiree pensions and asked if the city could have done more to avoid the historic filing.
Snyder waived executive privilege and gave a three-hour deposition at his office in Lansing. The testimony can be used as evidence in an upcoming trial that will determine whether Detroit is eligible to shed or restructure at least $18 billion in debt in U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
Snyder, a Republican, didn't speak to reporters but issued a statement that repeated many of his previous justifications for the largest public bankruptcy in U.S. history.
The "Chapter 9 filing was a difficult but necessary decision, one that clearly was the last and only viable option to resolve the city's fiscal crisis and restore the greatness of this proud city," the governor said.
Three months after the filing, no assets have been divided and no major deals have been struck. A judge first must decide whether Detroit has cleared key hurdles that would qualify it for Chapter 9.
"It's extraordinarily rare" for a governor anywhere to be interviewed under oath about executive decisions, said Devin Schindler, who teaches constitutional law at Thomas M. Cooley Law School.
After the deposition, union attorney Sharon Levine complimented Snyder for stepping forward but told reporters that he wasn't always forthcoming. She said he sometimes couldn't recall things and at other times refused to answer questions that might reveal advice he got from his own lawyers.
Levine said there doesn't seem to be a solution for Detroit retirees who could lose pension benefits.
"The fact that we still don't really fully understand what comes next and if there's a safety net that's being thought about for the retirees is still of concern," Levine said.
She said Snyder seemed satisfied that Detroit emergency manager Kevyn Orr held good-faith negotiations with creditors before recommending bankruptcy to the governor in July. Creditors aren't so sure.
"We're still very concerned that there were no proper negotiations going into this process and that if we had more time and better negotiations perhaps there could be have been a different result," Levine said.
Last month, the attorney general's office tried to keep Snyder on the sideline by invoking executive privilege, a common defense. But that didn't seem to sit well with U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes, so lawyers for the governor said he would agree to be interviewed.
Snyder has repeatedly said bankruptcy was a last resort for Detroit, which has lost 25 percent of its population since 2000 but continues to bear pension and health care obligations struck in better times. He benched local elected leaders in March when he appointed Orr, a bankruptcy specialist, as emergency manager with sweeping powers.
Schindler doubted that Snyder, a certified public accountant who rarely strays from a cautious style of speaking, would give any fuel to critics who want to derail the bankruptcy case.
"He's a very talented, savvy fellow who understands how the legal system works," Schindler said. "I'm sure he'll be careful, precise and honest in what he says."
Governors and other high-ranking officials generally are protected from testifying in a legal matter. But there are exceptions, especially when the topic is outside their public role. In 1998, President Bill Clinton was on the hot seat when he gave a deposition in a civil lawsuit filed by Paula Jones, who claimed he had sexually harassed her when he was Arkansas governor.

Miami-Dade County voters will decide on Aug. 14 whether to repeal a ban on pit bulls that was passed in 1989 after the mauling of a 7-year-old girl.
Animal advocates say the ban was passed out of fear and emotion after Melissa Moreira was attacked. However, Moreira, now 31, wants the ordinance to remain on the books.
"I think that if I were bit by a poodle, I wouldn't have had to have eight major reconstructive plastic surgeries," Moreira told the Associated Press. Moreira's face still bears scars from the attack.
Under the current law, owners of American Staffordshire terriers, Staffordshire bull terriers and bull terriers face a $500 fine and court action to force the removal of the dog from the county.
Pit bulls are supposed to be identified based on physical descriptions from the American Kennel club, including traits like short coats, broad chests and tails that taper to a point — details that Kathy Labrada, enforcement manager for Miami-Dade Animal Services, says are "subjective." In fact, in 2009 a court ruled that the county's law was vague and unenforceable.
If the ban is repealed, the county will join the rest of Florida, which prohibits breed-specific laws. Miami-Dade's pit bull ban was grandfathered in.
The county commission put the measure on the ballot after state lawmakers rejected a bill that would have outlawed breed-specific legislation in Florida. Now, pit bull advocates like Miami Marlins pitcher Mark Buehrle are hoping to overturn the ban.
Buehrle made headlines in December when he was acquired by the Miami Marlins and his family had to buy a home in neighboring Broward County so they could keep their pit bull, Slater. Since then, Buehrle and his wife, Jamie — who says the law is "discrimination" — have been working to educate people about pit bulls and the upcoming vote.
But proponents of the law argue that the dogs are dangerous.
Moreira told the Associated Press that people pushing to own pit bulls are "just putting themselves at risk. They're not taking into account what might happen."
About 3,000 dog bites are reported to Miami-Dade Animal Services annually, but the agency doesn't break the data down by breed and there's no national agency that collects dog bite information.
Although there are several websites dedicated to breed-specific legislation and the dangers of pit bulls, the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), the Humane Society of the United States and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals all oppose such laws.
A recent AVMA report says that although pit bulls' size and strength make their attacks more dangerous, this also applies to other large dogs. The organization goes on to say that pit bulls are no more prone to biting than other breeds, including German shepherds, Rottweilers, St. Bernards, Jack Russell terriers and collies.
"Restrictions placed on a specific breed fail to address the larger problems of abuse, aggression training and irresponsible dog ownership," according to a statement from the Humane Society. "Breed alone is not an adequate indicator of a dog's propensity to bite."
The Human Society argues for responsible dog-keeping laws in place of breed-specific legislation.

Extremely frank tips for avoiding a night in jail.
Dale Carson is a defense attorney in Jacksonville, Florida, as well as an alumnus of the Miami-Dade Police Department and the FBI. So he knows a thing or two about how cops determine who to hassle, and what all of us can do to not be one of those people. Carson has distilled his tips into a book titled Arrest-Proof Yourself, now in its second edition. It is a legitimately scary book—369 pages of insight on the many ways police officers profile and harass the people on their beat in an effort to rack up as many arrests as possible.
"Law enforcement officers now are part of the revenue gathering system," Carson tells me in a phone interview. "The ranks of cops are young and competitive, they're in competition with one another and intra-departmentally. It becomes a game. Policing isn't about keeping streets safe, it's about statistical success. The question for them is, Who can put the most people in jail?"
Which would make the question for you and me, how can we stay out of jail? Carson's book does a pretty good job of explaining—in frank language—how to beat a system that's increasingly predatory.
Be Invisible to Police
Carson has four golden rules, the first of which is, "If police can't see you, they can't arrest you." The simplest application of this concept is that if you plan on doing something illegal, you should do it in the privacy of your home. Yes, you can be arrested while at home, but you can't be profiled sitting in your living room, and profiling is what you're trying to avoid.
The rule extends to activities that are perfectly legal. "In 21st century America," he writes, "as long as you're not committing a crime, you should be able to wear the wildest clothes you want, roam the streets when you feel like it, and lean on a light post or hang out at some wild club if it amuses you." "Should" is the key word. In reality, cops love hassling people who stand out, even though it's not illegal to, say, have a Buckeyes bumper sticker that looks like a pot leaf. If you drive a sports car or a lowrider, you're more likely to attract a cop's attention than if you drive, say, a gray Honda Civic. Same goes for clothes, hairstyles, tone and volume of voice. Be boring.
So try to blend in. Beat cops who patrol the same routes day after day are "incredibly attuned to incongruity." But don't be too reactive when you see cops. "Police are visual predators," Carson writes. "Any sudden change in motion, speed, direction or behavior immediately attracts their attention." That means even if you're doing something you think might attract a cop's attention, quickly doing something else will attract even more attention. "Don't alter the pattern," Carson advises. "Keep on keeping on."
Also, if you can help it, don't go out after dark.
What if I can't be invisible to police?
If police want to hassle you, they're going to, even if you're following the above tips as closely as possible. What then? Every interaction with a police officer entails two contests: One for "psychological dominance" and one for "custody of your body." Carson advises giving in on the first contest in order to win the second. Is that belittling? Of course. "Being questioned by police is insulting," Carson writes. "It is, however, less insulting than being arrested. What I'm advising you to do when questioned by police is pocket the insult. This is difficult and emotionally painful."
Winning the psychological battle requires you to be honest with cops, polite, respectful, and resistant to incitement. "If cops lean into your space and blast you with coffee-and-stale-donut breath, ignore it," Carson writes. Same goes for if they poke you in the chest or use racial slurs. "If you react, you'll get busted." Make eye contact, but don't smile. "Cops don't like smiles." Always tell the truth. "Lying is complicated, telling the truth is simple."

The French team won and I knew that it would happen. Their coach was very proud of his team.
Jump to navigation
Do the preparation task first. Then read the article and do the exercises to check your understanding.
Have you bought your favourite team's shirt? Have your friends started working on their Neymar hairstyle? After four years of waiting, it's time again for the FIFA World Cup. It takes place in Russia between 14 June and 15 July.
The 32 countries which have qualified include top international teams like Brazil, Spain and Argentina. However, there are also a few surprises. Panama will make its first appearance ever at the World Cup. The same is true for Iceland, which, with a population of just 350,000, will be the least-populated country ever to participate.
The initial two weeks of the competition are called the Group Stage, where each group has four teams who must all play against each other. From each group, the two teams who finish with the most points go through to the next stage. From 30 June until 11 July, the remaining teams first play the round of 16, then the quarter-finals and the semi-finals. In the end, two teams will qualify for the final in Moscow on 15 July.
The World Cup will feature football's biggest names. There has been plenty of discussion about the two top stars: Cristiano Ronaldo who plays for Portugal and Lionel Messi from Argentina. Both players have had enormous success in their club careers but, now in their thirties, this could be the last chance for them to lift the World Cup trophy. Brazilian fans are worried about their star player, Neymar. In recent months he has been suffering from a leg injury, but hopes to be fully fit again for the tournament.
The 2018 tournament will feature many young players, some of whom are still teenagers. The French player Kylian Mbappé is just 19 years old and is already the second-most expensive player at Paris Saint-Germain. As a striker, French supporters are hoping that he will provide a lot of goals. Another 19-year-old to watch is Morocco's Achraf Hakimi. This young player is already a star at his club, Real Madrid. He plays as a defender, meaning Moroccan fans will be hopeful that their goal is very well protected.
The most important change for this year's tournament is the introduction of VAR (video assistant referee). When the referee needs to make a difficult decision during the match, he can communicate with a team of experts who are watching the match via video link. The referee can also interrupt the match so that he can watch a video replay of certain moments. Another new rule for World Cup 2018 will be a change to the traditional limit of three substitute players during a match. Under the new system, teams will be allowed to make a fourth substitution if the match goes to extra time.
The only UK team competing at the 2018 World Cup will be England. Placed in a group with Belgium, Panama and Tunisia, English fans are hoping to do well in the Group Stage and then progress to the later rounds. The team features many young stars such as the midfielders Raheem Sterling and Dele Alli, who have both played strong seasons this year for their clubs in the English Premiership. So perhaps English fans can allow themselves to at least dream of glory.
The last World Cup (Brazil, 2014) was watched by 3.2 billion people. That's almost half the population of the entire world! So whether you're a football fan or not, this year's tournament is going to be impossible to avoid. Make sure you're watching, and may the best team win!
Which country do you think will win the 2018 World Cup?
The French team won and I knew that it would happen. Their coach was very proud of his team.
But it didnt !!!!!!!
maybe germany will win
I thought England win the 3rd in the loser's round,but they didn't!
France won in the end.Belgium was also very good.The final match was so good to watch and it gave us breathtaking moments a lot.My via team is Portuguese because of R7 .He is my favourite player.But his team couldn't make it to the final. I hope he can play the next World Cup match.
France won but i think Belgium was the best team of this tournament! Croatia was really fantastic!
I was supporting Germany but you know that they lost in group stage and It was unbelievable! I still support them and i believe that they'll comeback stronger 4 years later!
I think France will win, good post.
Excellent explanation, thanks.
i think that sweden will win
i think cr7 will win

There's no tiptoeing around it. Nik Wallenda is ambitious and fearless, which, in his profession, means one of two things: success or death.
The week before Circus Sarasota announced that Wallenda would be walking on a high wire running between One Watergate condominium and The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota, the 31-year-old daredevil was in his brother-in-law's backyard off Lockwood Ridge Road, lobbing a football at members of his seven-man pyramid while they teetered across a practice wire 11 feet in the air.
"We throw the ball at them so they don't lose their focus," says Wallenda, while tossing the pigskin at a guy named Paul Matthew Lopez, who, despite his not falling appears to be visibly irritated by the exercise. "It's a game, but there's a bit of seriousness to it. Paul gets upset when you do it. He takes it personally."
Lopez mutters something only the other performers on the wire can hear, and Wallenda, delighted to have riled him, laughs.
"If the ball knocks 'em down, they're heading back home," he says with no hint of irony.
If you didn't know Wallenda's circus pedigree and reputation for sauntering across high wires rigged hundreds of feet in the air, you probably wouldn't recognize him. If you ran into him at the grocery store, you'd probably think he was just another young father with strawberry-blond hair and freckles.
Seated at a picnic table beside his 8-year-old son, Amadaos, who is home sick from school, Wallenda talks about his mother (Delilah Wallenda, the granddaughter of Karl Wallenda, founder of The Flying Wallendas), his best friend, Bello Nock (a daredevil clown with similar circus roots), his friendship with magician David Blaine and why he prefers to live in a tidy subdivision in Bradenton.
"Most performers want a lot of property," says Wallenda. "Not me. I like to have a break from my work."
Pushing aside bags of McDonald's French fries and chicken nuggets, Wallenda, a Sarasota native, answers calls from his mother and offers advice to a gaggle of shirtless guys up on the wire — all of whom will appear this month in his seven-man chair pyramid at Circus Sarasota, a stunt pioneered by his great-grandfather 63 years ago.
Given Wallenda's rising star, you'd expect him to be training in a less bucolic setting. Michael Jackson's "Dangerous" blasts from the speakers of a dusty Jeep, a miniature pony pokes around the yard and Wallenda's wife, Erendira, a trapeze artist, runs around picking up the couple's two other children from school.
"It's always fun to get together with my family and do this stuff," said Wallenda, who has spent the last few years breaking records and making headlines across the country, positioning himself for life beyond the Big Top.
In October 2008, suspended 20 stories over the streets of Newark, N.J., Wallenda walked 150 feet on a high wire and returned on a bicycle. The stunt was broadcast live on the "Today Show" and earned the performer his second Guinness World Record. (His first came in 2001 when he and his family pulled off an eight-person pyramid at Japan's Kurashiki Tivoli Park.)
Last summer, he embarked on a "Walk Across America Tour," traversing 1,000 feet across the Allegheny River and 300 feet along a Sky Ride cable at Cedar Point, in Sandusky, Ohio.
"Nik realized he's not reaching the audience he wanted to reach within the confines of the circus," says Terry Troffer, Wallenda's father. "So he decided to take it up a notch. It's hard to tell Nik not to do something, so I just tell him to use his head. If I wasn't aware of his abilities, I'd question his sanity."
Wallenda's next great stunt, the one he can't stop thinking about, involves the Grand Canyon and $1 million, which he's currently shopping around to major television networks.
"I'm never complacent," Wallenda says frankly. "I have the drive to go further, go higher and push limits. If I had the money to fund it, I'd walk the Grand Canyon on my own."

Circus Sarasota runs Feb. 12 to Feb. 28 under the Big Top, at 12th Street and Tuttle Avenue. For tickets, call 355-9805 or visit www.circussarasota.org
Here's the secret behind Nik Wallenda's high-wire shoes: His mother, Delilah Wallenda, stitches every pair he and his family wear. The top half of the shoe is made out of soft leather and the bottom half is elk skin.
"She's made them ever since I could walk," Wallenda says. "We're all getting new ones for our Circus Sarasota performance –– although I hate wearing new ones."
There's no tiptoeing around it. Nik Wallenda is ambitious and fearless, which, in his profession, means one of two things: success or death.

AVG just released the results of a new Digital Life survey, which found 2-5 year-olds all over the world are learning computer skills faster than life skills.
For instance:
- More young children know how to play a computer game (58%) than swim (20%) or ride a bike (52%)
- 69% of children aged 2-5 can operate a computer mouse, but only 11% can tie their own shoelaces
(For full results: http://bit.ly/AVGDigitalSkills)
If the findings are a reflection of how children today are being brought up, then tech safety, must too, become a skillset taught early on by parents. In an era of cyberbullying and online predators, the question we should ask ourselves is how much should parents be concerned? How much tech savvy is too much, and can very young kids be protected?
To guide you and your readers on how you can help your toddlers establish positive interactions with today's technology, AVG (www.free.avg.com) offers the following tips:
- Keep your computer in the living room where Internet activity can be more closely monitored and set a time limit. If you let your kids play with your mobile phone, keep it and them nearby.
- Keep your children off social networks. Create a folder of parent-approved sites that your child can visit on their own. These may include trusted online gaming sites such as PBSKids.com or educational sites such as Discovery's HowStuffWorks.com.
- Keep parental control software on your machine.
- Keep your children close. Talk with them. Know what is going on in their lives, and look for any signs of new influences or distress.
- Keep from getting comfortable. Kids know more than you think. They learn it in computer lab. They learn it on their friend's computer during playdates. Never assume your child doesn't know enough or isn't capable enough to put themselves in harm's way.
- Keep informed yourself. Follow Larry Magid on SafeKids.com or CommonSenseMedia.org for reviews of Web sites and more.

What is JWebby?
JWebby is a webserver written in Java.
What is so special about it?
Instead of PHP and all other languages, you can use Java to generate output.
Why not use JSP?
JSP is not easy to script. JWebby will just load ALL .class files in the WWW root. ONE single file receives the input and decides which class will generate the output. This is a lot more Object Oriented and so more easy to program with.
I would appreciate it if YOU support me!

|Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Geng Shuang's Regular Press Conference on September 7, 2017
Q: The ROK government went ahead with the "provisional deployment"of THAAD today. What's China's comment on that? Has China lodged stern representations with the ROK?
A: I stated China's stance yesterday. I would like to reiterate that China's firm opposition to the THAAD deployment in the ROK by the US is clear-cut, consistent and firm.
We again urge the US and the ROK to value the security interests and concerns of China and other regional countries and immediately stop the relevant deployment and remove the relevant equipment.
The Chinese side has lodged stern representations with the ROK regarding this issue.
Q: When taking questions from the press after a meeting with Nepalese Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Krishna Bahadur Mahara, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that, given the new development of the situation on the Korean Peninsula, the Chinese side agrees with the UN Security Council on further reaction and necessary measure. Will China support cutting off oil supplies to the DPRK? What does China mean by further reaction from the UN Security Council?
A: Foreign Minister Wang Yi has said that the Chinese side agrees with the UN Security Council on further reaction and necessary measure.
As we stressed on multiple occasions, in response to the 6th nuclear test by the DPRK, how the UN Security Council will react and what measure it may take depend on the results of the discussion by its members. This cannot be decided by China or any particular member of the Security Council alone.
As to the specific measures you are asking about, as we stressed many times, we hope the reaction and measure of the Security Council will be conducive to advancing the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, upholding peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and promoting the peaceful settlement of the Korean Peninsula issue through dialogue and negotiation. Committed to this stance, China will participate in the discussion in the Security Council in a responsible and constructive manner.
Q: The High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini said yesterday that the EU is preparing new sanctions against the DPRK. Does China support this kind of sanctions?
A: I don't know what the so-called new sanctions from the EU mean. Does it refer to unilateral sanctions by the EU? If so, as we stressed multiple times, we don't agree with unilateral sanctions. If you mean that the EU supports new sanction measures by the Security Council, then as I said just now, how the Security Council will react and what measures it will take depend on the results of the discussion by its members.
Q: It was widely reported in June that Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner were going to visit China. Can you confirm that? Can you tell us whether that visit is still going to happen?
A: China and the US have maintained close communication and exchange at various levels.
Q: Did President of Guinea Alpha Condé discuss mining contract with China during the BRICS Summit? Do you have any details?
A: At the invitation of President Xi Jinping, Alpha Condé, President of the Republic of Guinea and Chairman of the African Union, came to attend the Dialogue of Emerging Market and Developing Countries in China recently. On the sidelines of the Dialogue, the two heads of state held a bilateral meeting and exchanged views on further developing China-Guinea Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership. We have issued the readout of the relevant meeting already.
During the meeting, the two heads of state have unanimously agreed to deepen the two countries'cooperation on agriculture, fishery, mining and other fields. The relevant departments and enterprises of the two countries have discussed and aligned their friendly and mutually beneficial cooperation and achieved positive outcomes.
Q: The US has proposed oil and natural gas embargo on the DPRK in the draft sanction resolution submitted to the UN. Do you have any comment on that?
A: I answered a similar question just now. I would like to stress again that, in response to the 6th nuclear test by the DPRK, how the UN Security Council will react and what measure it may take depend on the results of the discussion by its members. In the meantime, we hope the reaction and measure of the Security Council will be conducive to advancing the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, upholding peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and promoting the peaceful settlement of the Korean Peninsula issue through dialogue and negotiation.
Q: The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that some Chinese universities continue to train the DPRK students in sensitive fields like mechanical engineering, despite the relevant sanction resolutions adopted by the Security Council. Do you have any comment?
A: I am not aware of what you said. China has always been implementing the Security Council's DPRK-related resolutions comprehensively, accurately, earnestly and strictly and fulfilling our international obligation.
Q: There are reports that after the phone call with President Xi Jinping, President Trump claimed that they are 100% in agreement over the DPRK. Is it true?
A: Last night Beijing time, President Xi Jinping and President Donald Trump had a telephone conversation. We have issued the relevant readout and I believe you have read that.
As to the question you mentioned, I can not give you a very quantitative description. What I can tell you is that, China and the US share common views on realizing denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, upholding the international non-proliferation regime, safeguarding peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and promoting the peaceful settlement of the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue through dialogue and negotiation. The two sides also maintain close communication and coordination on the situation on the Korean Peninsula.
Q: President Trump said yesterday that military act against the DPRK will not be the first choice for the US. Does China think that it is a positive statement from the US?
A: We have always stressed that the use of military means is not a viable choice and sanctions alone will never be a way out. The Korean Peninsula nuclear issue, in the final analysis, should be resolved through dialogue and negotiation among various parties while addressing their legitimate security concerns in a balanced manner. In this regard, China has put forward the "dual-track"approach and "suspension for suspension"proposal. We hope the relevant parties can give serious consideration to them and respond positively.
Q: Are you saying that you are not aware of any plan of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner's visit to China in September?
A: As I said just now, China and the US have maintained close communication and exchange at various levels.
Q: The Indian army chief said that India must be prepared for war. He also accused China of testing the limit of India. Do you have any reaction for that?
A: Did any Indian journalist ask you to come up with this question? (The journalist laughed)
We have noted the remarks of the relevant person with the Indian military, which are deemed as shocking words by some Indian media. I don't know whether he was authorized to make such comments and whether they were made impromptus personally or on behalf of the Indian government.
China and India are each other's important neighbour and we are the two largest developing countries and emerging markets. A sound and stable China-India relationship serves the fundamental interests of the two peoples and is the shared aspiration of this region and the international community at large.
Two days ago, during his meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, President Xi Jinping pointed out that, China and India should stay committed to the basic judgment that two sides present development opportunities rather than threat to each other. We hope the Indian side can look at China's development in a correct and rational manner. We shall show the world that peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation are the only right choice for China and India. The two sides should respect each other, seek common ground while shelving differences and uphold peace and tranquility in our border areas. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that India stands ready to work with China and ensure the steady development of the relations between the two countries. The two sides should not take each other as rival but make cooperation the mainstream of their relations. China and India need to jointly uphold peace and tranquility in the border areas.
We hope the relevant person with the India military can see clear the historical trend and come out with more words and deeds conducive to the development of China-India relations.
Q: Did President Xi Jinping and President Donald Trump exchanged views on the THAAD deployment by the US and the ROK during the phone call yesterday?
A: Both China and the US have issued the readouts of the telephone conversation between the two heads of state, and they are very clear. You may refer to the readouts for details of the telephone conversation, both the Chinese and the US ones.
The Foreign Ministry and the People's Government of Jiangxi Province will host a promotion event for Chinese provinces themed An Open China: Beautiful Jiangxi Showing Her Charm to the World on the third floor of the Southern Building on 3:30 p.m. 8 September. Foreign Minister Wang Yi will address the event. The Party Secretary of Jiangxi Province Lu Xinshe and Governor Liu Qi will respectively deliver speeches and presentations. Foreign diplomatic envoys and representatives will also be invited to make remarks and interact with other guests.
Jiangxi boasts beautiful mountains and rivers and abundant culture heritages. It is where Jingdezhen porcelain, the artistic treasure of the Chinese nation, originated and found its way to the rest of the world, which serves as an important economic and cultural bond for the ancient Eurasian region. As the cradle of the People's Republic, the People's Army and the Chinese revolution and thanks to its crucial geographical advantage of adjoining the delta of Yangtze River and Pearl River and the triangle of southern Fujian, Jiangxi has become a key area that supports the strategy of developing the hinterland as part of the Belt and Road Initiative. In the new historical stage, a more open and dynamic Jiangxi is attracting worldwide attention. We welcome your participation and covering of this event.

A robe for Otis
Do you remember the bath robe I made for Caspar? With the same pattern I made Otis an early birthday present. If you're not familiar with this pattern it is fantastic. It's based on using a bath towel and is beginner level. It can be found at MADE here.
As it's his first robe and he is starting to get himself dressed, putting his arms through the holes, I decided to go with the short sleeved version. For simplicity I chose not to make a hood.
Easy peasy, totally cute bath robe. As with Caspar's I made the addition of a loop so it can hang on a wall hook. Nice and low so soon he will be able to hang it himself. Don't you just love those temporary wall hooks.

ESSAY- Localvore's dilemma: How I learned about shooting food
"I'm sorry, honey," I said, extracting a toy rifle from the small hands of the visiting 8-year-old boy, "but we don't allow guns at our house, not even toy ones." I then walked the twenty feet from our front door to the sidewalk, safely over our property line, and placed the gun on the cement.
Oh, it's not easy, this parenting gig. And often, during their time under my roof, I suspect it was not easy being one of my children.
Back when we lived in densely-populated Columbia, Maryland, the only thing you could do with a gun was hurt somebody with it. So, why would I want my children to rehearse such behavior with pretend equipment? We were vegetarians at the time, so pretend hunting wasn't cool, either.
I was pondering this memory last night as I tucked into a tender and flavorful hunk of venison. I'm no longer a vegetarian, but I do have standards, after all, and not only is this meat free-range and free of hormones, it was free, period.
This is what can happen when a child is raised by rabid anti-gun parents: He grows up to be a rabid hunter, with an impressive collection of new and antique guns.
And Mum and Dad get a steady supply of venison.
Maybe I should be thinking, "Where did I go wrong?" I'll admit the thought crossed my mind a while back, but that was before the deer steaks began to show up in our freezer.
Our kids were raised in a home of bleeding-heart liberals, where both politics and awareness of healthy foods were basic staples of conversation. When they learned to read, they would scrutinize the ingredient labels on cereal boxes to see whether there was more sugar than oats in their Cheerios.
When we watched the local news from our home in Maryland, a feature of every broadcast was the blood-on-the-sidewalk shot from that day's murder scene in Washington or Baltimore.
The outside world was bearing down with violence, (as well as with with chemical- and sugar-laced food), so it was my job to guard the threshold and keep that stuff out of our home.
Happily, we had the good sense to escape to rural Virginia while they were still children. And rural Virginia has shaped our son in a way I never would have anticipated. Come to think of it, this environment has made its mark on me, too.
Before I came here, I didn't give much thought to hunting. I figured it was what modern-day men did maybe once a year as an excuse to drink beer all day and hang out in the woods– a laughable imitation of what our forebears did in order to survive.
Oh, how wrong I was! Turns out, a lot of people rely on what they can bring down with a firearm to feed their families. They have chest freezers to store the meat they acquire during hunting season, and that's their main source of protein for much of the year.
Moreover, this idea of an average citizen shouldering a gun and having the right to go out and harvest animals is a deeply American construct. Back in the Europe of my ancestors, the land belonged to the monarch and other royals, and hunting was their private diversion. You might be able to buy the right to hunt on their land, if you were lucky and well connected and could afford it.
My great grandparents fled Ireland during the mid 1800s when the potatoes were blighted and absentee English landowners forbade them from shooting down any birds flying over their homes. The birds belonged to the landlords.
Thanks in part to Teddy Roosevelt, who fostered the idea of a vast public commons, we have parks and wildlife management areas in Virginia where both rich and poor have access to hunting.
And now, our gun-toting grown-up son, Jackson Landers, is teaching folks (who may well have been raised by zealous anti-gun parents like yours truly) how to fill their own freezers with succulent cuts of deer carcass.
This fall, Jackson is conducting a class in Charlottesville called "Deer Hunting for Locavores" wherein he teaches people how to use a gun, how to track a deer, and how to butcher the animal once you bag it.
The word "locavore" makes me think of the gentle souls I run into while shopping for organic vittles at Integral Yoga or Whole Foods. These are people whose cars sport anti-war bumper stickers and occasionally bicycle racks– but not gun racks.
Judging from the overwhelmingly enthusiastic response Jackson has gotten to this class offering, the desire for a free source of sustainable meat, untainted by chemical additives, is strong.
But I also suspect that there's an entire generation of people raised by pacifist parents who are delighted because (at last!) they have a great excuse to play with guns.

Area has highest concentration of super-rich in U.S.
STAMFORD -- The Bridgeport-Stamford metro area has the highest density of high-income households in the nation, according to a report released this week by the U.S. Census Bureau.
The report found that 17.9 percent of households in the area, which covers the exact same territory as Fairfield County, have incomes in the top 5 percent nationally. That means that roughly 18 in 100 homes in Southwestern Connecticut had earnings above $191,469 per year in 2011 dollars over the five-year span between January 2006 and November 2011.
"It's very rare to have a concentration that high," said Adam Bee, the author of the report and an economist with the Census Bureau.
If all things were equal, and wealth was evenly distributed throughout the nation, each market would boast a roughly 5 percent saturation. But things aren't equal, and the share of local homes earning top dollar is about 3.5 times as high as the national average.
That's not really a surprising finding though, said Bee, who noted that this is the first time the Census Bureau has published this kind of report.
"Suburbs outside of big cities tend to have a higher concentration of wealth," he said Tuesday. On average, large cities had 4.9 percent of households in the top 5 percent, while suburbs within the cities' metro areas had an average of 6.1 percent of the top households, and 1.9 percent of households outside those areas found themselves in the top 5 percent he said.
Many of the areas with the highest density of wealth were concentrated outside the nation's largest cities; the San Jose metro area had the second highest density of high-income households in the nation at 15.9 percent, followed by Washington, D.C., area locations, more California suburbs and additional New York City commuter hubs.
When compared to the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island metro area, the Gold Coast had a much higher saturation of the super-wealthy, at 17.9 percent compared to 10 percent. Statistically speaking that's a significant gap, Bee said, but both markets are wealthy enough to find themselves in the top 10 nationwide.
"By comparison, 10 percent is almost half as many high-income people on a per capita basis (as Bridgerport-Stamford), but one with 10 percent would still be at the 98th percentile, so it's still higher than almost all the higher counties. It's just that the ones at the top are kind of spread out," Bee said.
While the Bridgeport-Stamford metro area matches up perfectly with the outline of Fairfield County, most metro areas contain several counties. In a county-by-county analysis of wealth saturation, Bee found that Fairfield County is the No. 9 most densely rich in America, behind four Virginia counties, one California county, two New Jersey counties and one Maryland county.
While Hunterdon and Somerset counties in New Jersey have slightly higher high-income saturations, at 20.1 percent and 18.5 percent, respectively, Fairfield County had marginally higher saturations than both New York City and Westchester County, which fell in line at 17.6 percent and 17.5 percent, respectively.
"If you look by region, then New England, the Pacific, and Mid-Atlantic, there are hyper portions of these populations here," said Bee.
On a state-by-state basis, Connecticut has the third highest concentration of the uber wealthy, at 9.5 percent, behind Washington, D.C. at 11.4 percent and New Jersey at 9.8 percent. But not every county in the Nutmeg State found itself above the 5 percent all-things-equal threshold.
While Fairfield County landed at No. 9 on the county list, and Middlesex County was also listed in the top 100 at No. 86, Windham County, in the northeastern most corner of the state was ranked at No. 673 in the nation, with a high-income saturation of 3.1 percent. It's a far cry from the Gold Coast, but Windham is still in the top 25 percent nationally; there were 42 counties in which there was not a single member of the top 5 percent found.
