All of us are closely monitoring the development of the Coronavirus as it makes its way across America. This is an unprecedented situation as our communities take historic precautions. We're all having to make adjustments, including our churches. There is still a great deal of uncertainty about the future concerning the Coronavirus. But what if this could be the catalyst for something greater?
It is moments such as these that create an opportunity for the gospel in the lives of those affected, which right now is EVERYONE! Our churches can be ministers of hope in the face of fear both practically and spiritually. There has never been a better time for our churches to cover our communities in prayer as we minister to their needs. Imagine if hundreds of churches across denominations and ethnicities would work together to cover every day of the month in 24/7 prayer as an important part of our response during this crisis. God has already given us a model that is simple and Coronavirus-safe. We also already have the website with calendars available for NWA, NEA, and Central Arkansas!
Here are the easy steps for any pastor to sign up your church:
- Simply select a day of the month that your church will cover in prayer.
- Then, appoint a schedule coordinator to help sign up volunteers into time slots.
- Then, your church members can pray for home, work, or wherever they are during their scheduled time slot.
It's that simple. Pastors can easily add their church to the calendar by clicking "Sign Up" on the website. There is no need for large gatherings and groups can pray together over conference calls or video chat. We will provide you with helpful resources like prayer guides and tools to get you started.
This is a critical hour for us to pray together in a safe and meaningful way. Could this be our opportunity to work together to raise up canopies of continuous prayer over Arkansas? Imagine the impact that would have as we serve the needs of our communities during this time. Visit arkansasprays.org for details and please send questions to Logan Bloom at [email protected].
Talk to your pastor about signing up your church and help us spread the word about Arkansas Prays.

On a very warm first day of summer an athletic Sherston (Archie) took on a mid-table Biddestone 3rds.
JK lost the toss and was asked to bat first. Biddestone had done their homework and seen that our batting was a little fragile early season.
The pitch map report came back that there was a little live grass with a soft underbelly much like most of the team playing today.
With a flexible batting order was given out to the top 10 batsmen the opening international pairing strolled out to the wicket. Once out to the middle Jarv made the decision that his pads needed to be rearranged, after an 8 minute wait for the opening bowler who was now pawing at the floor with his flappy sole, play began within 2 overs Jarv asked for assistance once more from the team bench, what could it be new bat, new gloves or did he need a helmet. Well yes, it was something to do with the helmet it was rubbing.
Sherston openers moved freely between the wickets and picked up runs before Chris Fisk fell for a solid 27. Next in was Greg Hall who had not contributed much in the way of runs so far this season, with the word's of Jarv ringing in his ears "play straight." The next wicket to fall was Jarv for 20, this then brought Ed Reed to the crease with a brand new bat freshly knocked in. Greg and Ed both started to play some nice shots putting the pressure back onto the Biddestone bowlers. Ed scoring freely with his new bat and outscoring Greg to his 50. An over later and on 49 Greg was out caught driving on the up. Next in was Archie looking to push the run rate up with Ed the two of them ran between the wickets well and Archie obviously watching to much one day cricket on the telly played a little cheeky reverse paddle, with that going to his head Archie ran down the wicket to smash a full toss and missed, bowled for 27. Ed still batting well waited for his skipper to arrive at the crease, JK was not interested in Ed getting to a hundred he just wanted to smash the ball to all parts of the ground so he did not have to run too many quick singles in the last 4 overs. At the end of Sherston's 45 overs Ed was 82 not out and JK 27 not out setting Biddestone a very challenging 260.
After tea the more mobile unit of Sherston took to the field. Archie was asked to take the new ball by the skipper, the Biddestone opening pair faced an Archie with his SatNav turned off, the occasion ball flew past the batsman at a good pace and into Will Taylor's waiting gloves. At the other end, JK was more probing at the off stump line and picked up the first of his 5 wickets. During this spell, Archie produced a fantastic run out putting even more pressure on the Biddestone team. Archie was replaced with Harry Stevens who after his first over was spot on with his line and length getting the ball to turn. Biddestone were starting to losing wickets on a regular basis, Harry taking 3 wickets at the end of his spell. Biddestone being bowled out for 93 in 23.3 overs.
Well played all let's keep the pressure on them top two teams each week.

MoM points:
Ed Reed – 3 points
JK – 2 points
Greg – 1 point

How To Attract Butterflies and Bees
You've probably heard that there's problems in populations and problems with the health of butterflies and bees. These pollinators are important to our lives. Our worlds food sources literally rely on these pollinators. We can't solve the problem on our own, but we can do our part. Our crops and environment will thank us.
Here are a few ideas on what you can do.
Have your backyard design include some of these ideas.
Pollinators want food, water, and shelter.
Try incorporating some areas for water such as small pools, puddles or birdbaths
Create a windbreak
Stop spraying pesticides
Have an area that you let go native especially a field of wildflowers
Butterflies and Bees love sunshine, so do all of this in a sunny area, but have trees and shrubs right nearby to provide shelter.
Plants you'll want to consider are not only for the adults but also for the larvae
List of plants that attract butterflies or bees:
Asclepias tuberosa (Butterfly weed)
Butterfly Bush
Monarda (Bee Balm)
Rudbeckia (such as 'Gloriosa Daisy')
Gaillardia (Blanket Flower)
This is just a partial list, but as you can see, there are many plants you can incorporate into your backyard design that will be pollinator friendly. Just make sure your backyard design includes the basics of food, water and shelter.

A group calling itself Islamic Jihad in Yemen says they did it.
The Yemeni government rounded up about two dozen suspects: pretty standard procedure over there, after a bombing. Yemen, or rather Yemen's national government, is said to be a strong ally of America in the war on terror. I've read that before. Last year I didn't believe it, following the release of Al Qaeda leader Jamal Badawi, who planned the 2000 Cole attack.
Changing My Mind About Yemen
Since then, I've had to revise my opinion. From what I've read, I think it would be more accurate to say that the Yemeni national government is an ally of America in the war on terror.The tribesmen of Yemen, who haven't gotten used to the idea of nation-states yet, don't seem to pay much attention to what the national government wants. My guess is that it's more important for them that Osama bin Laden's family came from Yemen. Besides, Al Qaeda says that they're protecting Islam from unbelieving foreigners: and America is just simply crawling with foreigners.
All of which may give Al Qaeda a sort of home-town advantage in those parts of Yemen that haven't quite caught up with the 18th century.
Winning Friends and Influencing People in the Islamic World
One of the people killed in that embassy bombing was Susan El-Baneh, 18, of Lackawanna, New York. She and her husband had married less than a month ago. It must have been quite an event. Her brother said that the whole village turned out.Susan El-Baneh
(From CNN, used without permission.)
The two of them were in the process of sorting out paperwork so that they could both go to America, where she planned to finish high school, and become a nurse. As her brother, Ahmed El-Baneh, put it, "... she was taking advantage of the times now when a Muslim lady can go to work, doing what they want, not just being housewives. She was going to get her education and be successful."
That's not going to happen now, of course.
Judging from Ahmed El-Baneh's reaction to her death, I'd say that whoever ordered that hit didn't make many friends in Sanaa. As Ahmed put it, "... if you die in the month of Ramadan, you go straight to heaven, and that is where my sister will be," Ahmed El-Baneh said. "But anyone that did this cowardly act, they will go straight to hell."...
"...Muslims are supposed to be peaceful, he said, and those who committed the attack on the embassy in Yemen only smear that view.
"... 'They say they do this for a cause, but there is no cause,' he said. 'A cause is when you sit down and talk, not when you kill millions and millions of people, now including my sister among them. What is the cause for that?' ..."
Law, Marriage, Culture, and Sentiment
Wrapping up this post:El-Baneh: That Name Sounds Familiar
Jaber El-Baneh, accused of being the seventh member of the Lackawanna Six, is on the FBI's most-wanted list. The other six were convicted of helping Al Qaeda. (The Liberty City Seven are an entirely different bunch.)The El-Banheh name is no coincidence: He's one of Susan El-Baneh's relatives. Remember, though: the bin Laden family went to rather great lengths to distance themselves "the" Osama bin Laden. Odds are pretty good that not all El-Banehs are on the same page as Jaber.
Arranged Marriage! The Horror! The Shame!
Or, not.Say "arranged marriage," and many Americans will probably think of some lurid melodrama, a tale of love and intrigue in feudal times, the latest honor killing in the news, or some combination of these. America and, as far as I know, all western countries, let people decide for themselves who they're going to marry.
Not all cultures work that way. People in some parts of the world depend more on reason, tradition, and experience than on endocrine systems for making life-changing decisions. Susan El-Baneh's marriage was arranged.
That, and her age, seems to have impressed some bloggers ("Arranged Death," for example). The part of the world the cited blogger comes from regards 18 as a bit young to get married. In some parts of the world, that 18-year-old would be an old maid, getting seriously long in the tooth.
The point is, not everybody is a Valley Girl, or from a proper Boston family. We'd all better start getting used to that.
Holding Hands: A Touching Detail
When Susan El-Baneh's uncle went to the hospital to see what was left of his niece and her husband, the bodies were still holding hands.In the news:
- "Al Qaeda suspects held over U.S. Embassy attack"
CNN (September 18, 2008) - "U.S. student, husband among dead in embassy attack in Yemen"
CNN (September 18, 2008) Home of 'Lackawanna 6' also home to terror victim" - "Car bomb at US embassy in Yemen kills 16"
Financial Times, UK (September 18, 2008) - "In Yemen, a Massacre of Americans Is Averted"
Time (September 17, 2008)
Associated Press (September 18, 2008)
- "Jamal al-Badawi: Al Qaeda Leader, Cole Conspirator, and Free Man "

Road to Freedom
"Road to Freedom" is the title of my programme for coaching young people 14-20 years old to break with their current way of life which more often than not leads them along the road to incarceration to a life of crime and a life in and out of prisons.
I coach them to see sports as a way out. Athletics, boxing, rugby, football..
I see this as a call in my life to coach young people to make the most of their lives….
I have been coaching young people for so many years and it is a cause very close to my heart.

Local heritage book of Inse und umzuThe parish of Inse lay in the District of Elchniederung (until 1938: District Niederung) in northern East Prussia, and encompassed the lagoon villages of Inse, Loye and Tawe on the Kurischer Haff, as well as other smaller settlements further inland, namely Löckerort, Pait, Kumzoge, Augstutt and Siberien. These settlements were for the most part abandoned at the end of the 19th century, or for example in Pait, bought up by the Forestry Commission, and in the 20th century there were no more independent residences. The lagoon village of Inse up until about 1933 consisted of two independent communities, divided only by the Inse River. Alt Inse and Gross Inse, which were frequently differentiated from each other as Inse Domain Kuckerneese (Inse Kuck) and Inse Domain Seckenburg (Inse Seck). Sometimes they were simply known as Inse without any distinguishing names.
The Church Books of Inse Parish exist as microfilm for the time period of 1768 to 1874. The present online Local Heritage Book represents the current collection status (ca. 1790 to 1874) and should be completed over time. Insights gained through questioning earlier inhabitants or former inhabitants of the lagoon villages, or their descendants, are presented allowing for confidentiality rules, whereby I consciously do not present perons who were born in 1910 and later (it may be that these data are already available for freely available online in another site.) Most of the inhabitants were Lutheran.The few Catholic inhabitants belonged to the parish of Schillgallen. Notably, births and deaths were also often registered in the Lutheran Church Book; marriages however only seldom, insofar as the Local Heritage Book (still) is incomplete. The people in Inse Parish were fishermen and vegetable farmers, often both at the same time. The gardens yielded especially onions and cucumbers in large quantity and good quality, which were until the 20th century brought by boat up to the weekly markets in Königsberg and Tilsit and sold there. As of 1880 there was an intensive wave of emigration of young people from the lagoon villages. In addition to Königsberg and Tilsit the designated destinations of the emigrants were the Ruhr area, North America and the north German port cities (with shipyards and marinas.) However, even earlier that, a few, mostly young men, went beyond the next town. These destinations are well known mostly because it was a journey with no return and the Pastor conscientiously noted the deaths from outside the area in the Church Book, regardless of whether the death occurred in Königsberg, in Singapore (sailor 1870), in Cologne (a soldier 1864) or on the battlefields of the Napoleonic Wars. Population expansion
Parish of Inse today Nowadays only Inse still exists. Today the village is called Pricaly and lies in Rayon Slawsk (Heinrichswalde) in Königsberg territory. People living there today also support themselves by cultivating vegetables and fishing. About 7 kilometers inland the hunting lodge Pait still exists, in which Kaiser Wilhelm II once lived when he went elk hunting. "Surroundings" The inhabitants of the parish had diverse familial contacts in the neighboring parishes, namely the parish of Kallningken (as of 1938 Herdenau), which until 1920 belonged to District Heydekrug and after that to District Elchniederung; the parish of Alt Lappienen (as of 1938 Rauterskirch); in the District of Elchniederung and in the Parish of Gilge (District of Labiau). The familial contacts in the Gilge Church Book mainly involve families in Tawe and go especially to Gilge and Nemonien (as of 1938 Elchwerder). Occasionally familial connections can also be established to the neighboring Kurische Spit. The expression "umzu" means "surrounding area." In connection with this Local Heritage Book it means that I have included quite a few data from the surrounding parishes of Gilge, Kallningken and Alt Lappienen, if they have familiar connections to Inse. The data of the parish of Kallnigken (Herdenau) you now find in the Local Heritage Book of Karkeln. Remarks: Connections exist between this Local Heritage Book and that of Memelland, since the Parish of Inse is geographically situated directly near Memelland (although south of the Memel) in the Memel delta. (See the map in Local Heritage Book Memelland). Furthermore, there are connections to the Local Heritage Book of Russ. Also the spelling guidelines and various use of first names corresponds to the Local Heritage Book of Memelland. It is also worth noting that the spelling of names was never exact, so often even within the same entry the family name is written differently. The present database represents the actual result. Many familial connections have not been ascertained conclusively; many persons appear more than once, for example in first and second marriages, if it is not yet certain whether or not it is the same person, or as is often the case, whether it deals with another person by the same name. Inquiries, corrections, additions and other references are always welcome. Katharina Schroeter |

John P. Burke '01
Introduced to the game as a caddy at Newport Country Club, he was hailed as the most talented player ever produced in the state when he began competing in the 1930s. He earned that reputation early, twice winning the R.I. Junior Championship, the first at age 15. Known for his genial temperment and matching swing, he went on to win four State Amateur titles in five years, beginning in 1934. His only loss in that stretch came in 1937 when he missed a tee time. In that same stretch, he also won the State Open in 1936 and 1938, making him along with Mike Bobel, Bobby Allen and Brad Faxon as one of only four players in state history to win the Junior, Amateur and Open. When he won the 1938 Open, he lowered the tournament record from 291 to 284. In 1938, as a student at Georgetown University, he won the National Intercollegiate championship and the Metropolitan Amateur. His career was tragically cut short by World War II. He was killed in the North African campaign in 1943. He was so highly regarded, both on and off the course, that the Caddy Scholarship program in Rhode Island was named in his honor. That program has since helped more than 700 students with their college education.

Before taking a plunge, ensure you practice trading your preferred asset on a mobile app's demo account to be confident in your skills. Furthermore, confirm whether the mobile trading app is hosted by regulated brokers. For instance, US traders should find trading apps regulated by the Commodities Futures and Trading Commission (CFTC) or the National Futures Association (NFA).
You need a mobile device and a stable internet to start online trading using a mobile app. First, make sure the app is compatible with your device, whether Android or iOS. You will then confirm the availability of the assets and make the necessary deposit to get started. Of course, this will be after you have verified all the trading and non-trading charges and ensured they fit into your budget.
Most mobile apps operate the same way as web platforms on desktop devices. The only difference is that you will be more exposed to the financial markets, especially whenever you are on the move. Trading using mobile devices primarily benefits active traders like swing and day traders, who frequently take short-term positions.
Although online trading with mobile trading apps gives you more exposure to the financial markets, you must put in more effort to increase your chances of earning profits. Besides conducting your own research and analyzing the markets, be more consistent with your activities.
It is advisable that you acquire a trading journal and note all your moves and strategies. This way, it will be easier for you to identify the mistakes you made that contributed to any loss and become more skillful. On top of that, have a budget and stick to it to avoid emotional breakdowns should you make losses. You can start by investing using small amounts of money and increase it once you are more confident with your trading capabilities.

How Business Owners Can Navigate Pressing Labor Shortages
The U.S. labor shortage is holding back the nation's economic recovery from the pandemic, according to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
"The worker shortage is real — and it's getting worse by the day," Suzanne Clark, the President and CEO of the Chamber, said in a statement. "The worker shortage is a national economic emergency, and it poses an imminent threat to our fragile recovery and America's great resurgence," she said.
Much has already been said and written about the likely reasons for this phenomenon, not the least of which is that the unemployment packages for displaced workers have created disincentives to go back to work. As one former hospitality worker posted in response to an article pointing this out, "We typically do not get paid vacations or holidays; we are taking advantage of it while we can." Regardless of the root causes, I propose three possible solutions for business owners who cannot find folks interested in filling your job vacancies.
Recast Your Approach to Hiring
Not only do most people land interviews for job openings through referrals, but innovative companies can also find their best hires in the same way. Use social media and personal networking to get the word out that an exciting opportunity awaits the right person. Incentivize your current employees to join the effort.
People are not attracted to a job that seemingly nobody else wants. Get your marketing firm involved in identifying the tangible and intangible benefits of working in your firm. If you cannot compete with the current unemployment compensation, come up with a performance-based comp plan that will make your offer attractive.
A friend of mine recently posted such an opportunity on LinkedIn for a topflight Executive Assistant. He made it clear that he was looking for a contributor to the success of the organization, not simply someone to crank out rote administrative duties.
Make Your Culture Magnetic
The key to any organization is the character and capacity of your people. But often, the next level differentiator is their attitude. Consider a skills or gifting assessment on each person that works for you to ensure that they are operating within their strengths. This increases the likelihood that they succeed and make the best contribution possible to the growth of the company. Reward them for going above and beyond to deliver excellent service with great attitudes. Others will notice and begin knocking on your door.
Having just spent the last few months looking for contractors to complete some repairs and upgrades to our home, we noticed a distinct difference between the workers who entered our home. Some were dour and disengaged. We even overheard one making critical comments about the owner of the company to his co-workers. Although hard workers, it was obvious they did not like their job or the culture of their company. Others were polite, cheerful, and proud of the job they were doing. They seemed to be motivated to serve their employer well by taking good care of the customer. Great employees have friends and families that will help you find folks like them.
Look in Unexpected Places
Business owners move in many circles but often do not consider them as places to look for their next hire. I once met an outstanding Service Manager at a car dealership. He was so good that I complimented him on his knowledge, speed, and professionalism. He was quick to share that he was "compensated double the industry average because he could outwork three typical employees!" I followed up with a question, "How did they find you?" He said he was working in a small mechanic shop but earned extra money on weekends hired out on a pit crew for a local race car driver. He said the owners of the dealership spotted him from the bleachers and sent a message to come in and apply for a job. He then added, "The rest is history."
Consider people that you may have never thought of at church, your club, or places you travel. With more than 60% of employees stating they are unhappy in their current job, opportunities to directly recruit abound. Only recently did I meet a great person at our church who now works from home part time for Crown. She happened to mention the skills she had, and I immediately took notice. It has been a win-win for both of us.
Too often, we follow conventional online means that are impersonal and overcrowded. With some extra effort, both you, your new hire, and your company can benefit.
Crown's Career Direct assessment is available to help you better manage the talents of your staff.

Burnout Happens to Medical Doctors: Learn the Risks and How to Offer Support
Medical students, residents, and physicians often struggle under the weight of expectations in their jobs. Their career is derived from passion to help others, although physicians are among one of the top professions to have a high rate of burnout, depressive symptoms, and susceptibility to suicide. Professional burnout occurs when individuals in the medical field cannot do their job because they are mentally and physically exhausted. It can lead to addiction and mental health issues, among other things. Learn more about the risks to themselves and others when this happens and how to support a loved one through this.
What is Professional Burnout?
Burnout is defined as a syndrome resulting from chronic workplace stress that is not managed well. There are three things that make up professional burnout:
- The feeling of cynicism related to work or increased mental distance from it
- Reduced efficiency or efficacy when treating the patient
- Feelings of being exhausted or having energy depleted even at rest and not at work
Burnout is difficult because it looks different for different people. Most of all, it is a feeling of being deflated and not feeling like themselves. It means the person will feel exhausted at rest or play, or at work, and never quite feel like they are doing okay.
Causes of Burnout
Professionals have issues with fatigue, but those in the medical field have factors that contribute to burnout. The long, intense hours of work often lead to sleep deprivation. This can cause changes in the way the brain thinks and works, along with stress on the physical body. Over time, this stress builds into fatigue issues and those in the medical field have contributing factors that lead to burnout.
Contact Palmetto Addiction Recovery Center Today
While burnout has long-lasting effects, people can often struggle for quite some time with it until they finally seek help. Severe cases may lead to a person trying drugs or alcohol and putting themselves at risk, along with patients, as a means of coping with day-to-day life. It can have serious consequences for a person's health and life, including their social and spiritual well-being. One of the greatest risks comes to their career as they risk losing their job or licenses to practice now or in the future as a result of burnout.
The best way to find hope and healing from burnout is to ask for help from a qualified rehab facility. Medical professionals are less likely than the general population to seek mental health treatment. When physicians are asked why they did not seek help, nearly 50 percent said symptoms were not severe enough. Time and energy spent on rehab mean time away from their work. The key is to make sure they get enough help so they can return to their jobs or some type of employment after rehab. The consequences of not getting help are too great, including complete burnout where the person is not able to work or function at all without additional support.
The Palmetto Center is based on a Therapeutic Community model. We can help you navigate burnout and symptoms that come along with that. Our program provides a special focus for professionals including chiropractors, nurses, doctors, lawyers, and more who need help with addiction recovery. Call us to find out more: 866-848-3001.

The sideways throttle from the ship's engines sent a shudder through the hull and up to the seventh floor and room 7007 where Lemara slept. The vibrations of which woke her from her stupendous state.
As she opened her eyes, she could feel the sideways motion of the ship and surmised they were only now leaving the port. And she was awfully pleased with herself for only taking a quick shut-eye.
Except she hadn't.
Sunshine streamed through the window. The view outside appeared different, and she placed that down to the ship's angle. Her body felt excruciatingly heavy as she attempted to get off the bed. As she blinked to adjust her vision, the message across the television screen shunted her attention.
Welcome to Key West,
Departure: Ship sails for Costa Maya at 7:00 pm,
Boarding: All guests must be onboard by 6:15 pm.
Feeling exhausted no more, she launched herself out of bed when she read the local time was 08:04. In a fit of trepidation, she began racing around the room, grabbing her clothes as she headed into the shower, thinking she was late for her dinner date. But then she stopped herself in her tracks. Why does the message read Welcome to Key West? And why does the time on the screen read 08:04 am and not 08:04 pm as she was thinking?
She thought to glance at her watch which remained unchanged on British time, it read 12:04, and the day - Sunday.
Now a message came over the intercom,
Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to Key West where we will shortly be disembarking.
And then her thoughts swayed from the incomprehensible to the coherent; it was not the forty winks she thought she had taken but more precisely, the full-on stairs to Bedfordshire, and it was now the next day. As the trepidation ratcheted down her body, she slumped back onto the bed in despair. Not only had she slept through the safety and emergency drill but had also botched her date with 'Mr We are having dinner together tonight.'
She exclaimed in her West Indian accent now butter creamed over with an English twang, disgusted with herself as she sat on the bed, palms cupping either side of her face.
Two postcards on the floor just under the door drew her attention. She got up and walked towards the door for closer inspection. One of which was from housekeeping and the other from Harry.
Hey Lemara! Here's hoping that the thought of having dinner with me has not sent you swimming back to Europe!
He, at least, had a helping of humour!
It had just gone nine am when there was a knock on the door. Lemara had since finished her shower and was transferring the last of her runway of outfits from her luggage to the wardrobe.
House keeppin!
Lemara opened the door to find Harry (less Thom Browne more Double RL in a buttoned-down indigo linen shirt fitted into a pair of white chino shorts) sans housekeeping, standing outside.
For a little while, I thought you had jumped ship Lemaruh.
Lifting his tortoiseshell, RL Hinges off his face.
Rested and more relaxed, she was able to give Harry a more detailed once-over. Today, his hair flopped in dark waves mostly on the left side of his face, and a defined chest showcased itself from under his shirt, and it was his broad chest that undid her composure. She quickly took control of the situation by closing the door behind her, motioning for them to go to breakfast. He struck her as being in his late twenties early thirties, but he certainly took care of himself, and definitely knew how to dress.
I tried! She said. Except no one told me there was a bungee rope attached to me!
Great! Whom do I need to thank for that? Harry asked.
Seeing the funny side and the compliment in his statement, Lemara smiled. He had not mentioned the dinner date once. However, she was under no obligation to go on a date or dinner with him.
They arrived at the Cafe Grill and Bar on deck ten. While most guests had chosen the bustling breakfast buffet on floors five and six, some forty or so guests were sat out here sunning themselves. As well as, safeguarding their deck chairs at prized locations around the pool for later in the day. Proof that no matter where you are, location is premium when it comes to deck chairs. The earlier you get there, the better the chance of owning a prime spot such as Park Lane or Mayfair, that is if you are playing British monopoly.
They sat a bleached wood table set for four with mix-matched rattan chairs, Lemara with the Cafe Grill at her back. She surveyed her surroundings, another seven guests were in the pool enjoying a wild morning frolic - and three photogenic waiters on the other side of the pool seemed to be looking in her direction.
Harry had quickly excused himself, addressing a message received on his mobile. He stood at the bar, back to her, firm shoulders, one hand shoved in his pocket, the other holding the phone. Lemara could hear him repeatedly saying, in a very controlled Mainer accent that,
That was nevah open to negotiations.
Lemara gave a side glance, trying not to appear too inquisitive. One of the waiters swaggered over to her table. Now with a closer inspection, he seemed to be from the far east but not sure where, she didn't identify the flag on his name badge which said, Edwin.
He complimented her dress, and they chatted on the weather as any Brit would. He had one of those ready smiles that little twinkle in his eye, and Lemara could not but hold onto his gaze. With Harry still on his call, she sat back in the chair, feeling the sunlight grace her skin where her orange, backless a-line-v-neck dress with spaghetti straps did not afford coverage. It was then she noticed the Caribbean reggae tunes been carried on the easy breeze. For the first time that morning, she now saw the port of Key West next to the ship, and Harry was now walking back to the table.
They ordered minute steaks with eggs and sat in a little silence as they waited. The Harry that left the table was not the Harry that returned to the table. His mood was pendulous and slightly distant.
Everything okay? Looking him in the eye.
Harry looked away to the pool and inwardly exhaled.
His Mainer accent now more prominent.
Bob Marley's 'Jammin' was wafting through the speakers, as a party of four of Abercrombie & Fitch's best-dressed twenty-something-year-olds cackled to a near table.
Libby, why would Bob Marley sing I hope you like chicken soup?
The entire party, including Libby, who was being ridiculed, was pealing from the revelation.
He does. Listen .. Doesn't he? Doesn't he Jess?
And Libby to everyone's disbelief began humming her made up lyrics...
I hope you like chicken soup...
At that point, it became much too much for any of them, and they were now in hysterics.
Harry and Lemara looked at each other and could not help but smile themselves at the rib-tickling situation unveiling at the other table. The ambience definitely lifted, further enthused by the aroma of the freshly grilled steaks now delivered at their table. They continued their casual banter through breakfast, and unconsciously walked off the cruise together and into Key West.
Following the flow of tourists off the cruise ships, they now found themselves emptying into the main river of holidaymakers on Whitehead Street. Given the throng of fellow travellers, Whitehead Street is no secret, at the end of this street is the Southernmost Point of the USA marked with a buoy pointing out just that. And some ninety miles away in the distance was Cuba. A photo opportunity and a free one at that, made even better when your own voluntary photographer was in tow. Harry took her camera and motioned her to stand next to the buoy. Lemara quickly punctuated her face with a smile as he clicked away. Because what's better than a free photo opportunity? Not having to ask someone to take one for you and it turns out Harry was a dapper hand with a camera too as she inspected a few of the clicks.
Definitely a few here for the gram.
Halfway down this street was the home now museum of the four times married, Nobel Prize winner Ernest Hemingway.
They'd now been out and about for just over five hours wandering around Key West's warren of colonial-era homes, boutiques and gardens, and all that walking, sightseeing, chatting and laughing in the relentless Key West sun had left them parched. As they walked back in the direction of the ship, Lemara thought she'd recognise three figures walking towards them in the opposite direction but could not be sure. But as the figures got closer on Duval Street, she realised why she thought they looked familiar. They were the waiters or rather the Aviator wearing leading men's magazine models from breakfast - and shirtless. Recognising each other from off the cruise, both parties waved as they crossed paths and Edwin wearing his ever-ready smile, said hello. Even with his Aviators on, she could see the gleam in his eyes. Her head followed her eyes, all the while coveting that chiselled torso that belonged to his uniform just earlier that morning.
Harry notably sizing up the situation acknowledged
Well he is a bit of a heart racuh!
Lemara turned to him with a wry smile.
They found themselves a bit of respite on the patio of a seafood restaurant overlooking dreamy sailboats on the water. A mix of locales and tourists alike, it was no 'Bar Hemingway' but had a suitably mellow vibe about it - ideal after the last couple of hours. Now it was Lemara who was present in body only; she was absentmindedly wandering down Duval Street alongside Edwin.
As it happens, Harry was too engrossed with a message he was replying to on his phone to notice. As he finished and put his phone away, he apologised saying he had a bit of a storm brewing and he needed to try and prevent it from becoming a hurricane. Well, she could not fault him for that, though no name was given to this storm and she wasn't about to ask. She did, however, want to know why he was cruising alone and as if by intuition he said
I guess you must not have a boyfriend since you are cruising alone.
She glanced at his left hand before answering and noticed that there was a mark where once a ring was. She looked him in the eye and replied.
I guess you must be single, since you are cruising alone.
They smiled at each other over Pina Coladas, plates of shrimp, crispy conch fritters and fries now arrived at their table. He picked up her plate of shrimps and gallantly began to peel them on her behalf as he passed his dish of crispy conch fritters to her.
Want to try my conch?
Lemara sensed Harry's statement wasn't limited to the conchs he had just placed in front of her, but he said it which such flippancy that she redecorated her side of the table with a mouthful of pina colada.
His phone had not gone off, and if it did, he had given it no attention, and they finished eating with the same playful conversation.
They escaped the mellowed out atmosphere of the restaurant and found themselves trapped amongst the wild-sandal-wearing partying crowd of Mallory Square enjoying the infamous Key West sunset ritual.
And just like that, he took her right hand; his left arm firmly behind her waist and guided them through the crowds towards the direction of the cruise ship.
Caught unawares by his physical closeness, Lemara's breath got caught in her throat, and as she was about to turn to face Harry, she discovered her face almost mirroring his.

A former Hungarian refugee who fled to England more than 30 years ago has lived a 'fairytale' to become Poynton's new mayor.
Gabor Bartos left his home in 1978 to watch a football match, but refused to return to the communist regime of his country for 10 years.
He was made a British citizen in 1982 and moved to the village after meeting his wife-to-be, Jennifer.
A musician and piano tuner by trade, he found himself rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous when he was employed at the Manchester Apollo – working for the likes of Liza Minelli and Art Garfunkel.
Gabor, 59, has now been made the first non British mayor of Poynton and received his mayoral chain in a special ceremony at the civic centre.
Dad-of-two Gabor, who lives on Ragley Close, said: "I'm honoured to become the mayor of Poynton. It's a really emotional moment for me, and a fairytale considering what has happened to me over the past 30 years.
"I am the proudest man, because this great country gave me an opportunity to prove myself, and now I'm trying to give as much back as I can.
"Poynton is a great place. Large places are hard to find a sense of community, but Poynton has a real community. You have to build up respect and keep it."
Gabor has since made peace with his home country.
He became a Macclesfield Borough Councillor in 2004, and retired last year, but during his time he engineered a cultural exchange which saw Poynton officially twinned with the Hungarian town of Erd.
Dignitaries from the village now visit Erd each year with high school children and learn about the local way of living.

Wash and dry tomatoes. With a sharp knife, make a cut like a latch on the underside of the tomato, which will serve as a base and without cutting it to the end, continue to peel the tomato. Make thicker peels while spining the entire piece several times. Then start from the end to wind the resulting tape and finally place the wrapped part on the originally cut base. Use for decorating salads or garnish.
