Forest Green Rovers is the greenest football club in the world. Players are fed a vegan diet on site, an environmental sustainability message is promoted both on and off the pitch, an organic pitch is trimmed by a solar-powered lawnmower, and the club's new home will be a stadium entirely made of wood.
The Gloucestershire club, which recently won the National League play-off final to secure their English Football League (EFL) place, is owned by green energy champion and Ecotricity founder Dale Vince.
Dale Vince rescued the football club in 2010, when he was approached by the local club for financial support. The Ecotricity founder admits he was not even a particularly keen football fan, but he saw in sport and in Forest Green the chance to promote sustainability.
He explains: "I thought it was an opportunity to take our message to a new audience. The world of football doesn't really get spoken to on environmental issues. I thought we could use it as a new channel, and quite an unexpected one, to talk about sustainability."
The club have stopped selling fish, no longer use cow's milk and even the beer and cider on sale at The New Lawn Stadium is completely vegan.
Speaking of the football club's green credentials, Dale Vince said: "One stand has solar panels, and we're making that 20% of our electricity," he added. "The pitch is organic and underneath it we've got a system of drains to capture the water and feed that goes on it, which is Scottish seaweed, so we capture it and put it back on the pitch, so we kind of recycle it.
"Out front, we've got charging points for electric cars so fans can drive up in their electric cars and still get home, and the food, of course, is vegan which is also another very important sustainability issue: what we eat.
"We went to Wembley without an injury in the squad and I think that must be pretty exceptional in football at that time of the season, and certainly there is a link between a vegan diet and a lack of soft tissue injuries and there must have been an element of that for us, as well as the sports science and fitness guys doing a very good job."
Forest Green Rovers new stadium, which will be designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, will be constructed completely from wood and powered by sustainable energy sources.

3 Super foods That Don't Cost the Moon And Are Easily Available
What exactly are super foods? Pop culture and mainstream media would probably conjure mental images in your mind of exotic foods such as Goji Berries, Quinoa, Blueberries, Kale, and Chia seeds. Basically, fancy stuff that's available only at a gourmet store at exorbitant prices. But did you know that you could get the same health benefits from certain foods that are abundantly available even at your local mom and pop store at the fraction of a cost? How? There are basically 2 features of a super food that differentiates it from the various other different kinds of food out there. These are:
Food to Rule them All– The most essential criterion of a super food is that it should contain an overtly rich and diverse array of nutrients that are beneficial to the body in myriad ways. It packs a punch in terms of vitamins, minerals, and polyphenols that keep you fitter, healthier, thinner and increase your lifespan by fighting chronic diseases including diabetes, obesity, heart disease etc.
They're A+, literally– Super foods contain a rich dose of the "A word" that is known to be miraculous for your health and well-being, implying antioxidants. For the uninitiated, antioxidants are compounds that are available in certain foods and effectively prevent life-threatening diseases such as cancer like no other element.
Hence if you've wanted in on these miraculous foods but thought they were too elusive, you were SO WRONG! Here's 3 items that can be termed "Superfoods" and are abundantly available without you having to visit the moon itself to get them:
- Ginger:
You could not get more down to earth with this particular super food- both literally and metaphorically! This food with its humble origins (It's grown underground) is available practically everywhere and has often been described as a culinary and medicinal marvel. This is based on its flavour, anti-bacterial properties as well as the numerous ways it helps our body.
- In (morning) Sickness and Good Health- Ginger is helpful in treating conditions such as nausea, dizziness and cold sweats. Therefore, pregnant women are often advised to consume ginger to relieve morning sickness.
- Ginger has your back (Literally)- Gingerol is an ingredient present in ginger, which helps relieve arthritis.
- Ginger is always a good idea. Period. (Or not)- This herb relieves menstrual cramps in a jiffy! So, sipping a cuppa ginger tea at that time of the month is a fantastic idea.
- #JustGinger for your Heart- Ginger reduces risk of heart disease and drastically brings down blood sugar thus displaying anti-diabetic benefits also.
- Helps Enjoy your food 100%- Ginger helps with chronic indigestion substantially.
- Fights these Villains: Ginger wards off "bad" cholesterol thereby reducing risk of heart disease
- Supports your #WillToSurvive- Studies suggest that ginger has cancer-fighting substances that are effective against pancreatic cancer, breast cancer and ovarian cancer. However more research is needed to confirm these studies.
- Ginger Matters for your Grey Matter- It improves working memory and brain function while protecting against brain degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
- Garlic:
On a date, garlic maybe your worst enemy (Smelly breath!). Outside of a date, you'd do well to make it your BFF! It's really quite easy to find. And it's one of the healthiest foods you can find. Here's why:
- #WeightLossGoals- For all the nutrients it packs, garlic is extremely low on calories! It contains incredible amounts of Vitamin C, B6 and Manganese, traces of other nutrients, and almost zero calories.
- Finally a Cure for the Common Cold- Studies have found that garlic extract can decrease the number of sick days owing to cold or flu by a whopping 61%!
- Takes the Pressure Off- Studies show that garlic in significant quantities (4 cloves a day) is as effective in reducing blood pressure as the drug Atenolol over a 6-month period.
- A Hearty Herb- Garlic improves your cholesterol level and thereby reduces the risk of heart disease.
- Keeps you Brains and Bones Strong- Garlic fights against brain degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and dementia. Studies also suggest that garlic is beneficial for bone health in women.
- Green Tea:
Ah! Green tea! In how many ways do I Love thee? Extremely refreshing and tasty- green tea is the perfect antidote to many a woe and is often touted as the healthiest beverage out there. And it's there practically everywhere. From office coffee machines to your local kirana stores.
- Storehouse of Bioactive Compounds- Apart from consisting antioxidants such as flavonoids and catechins, green tea contains EGCG- an uber-powerful antioxidant that imparts it with (almost) life-changing medicinal properties that fight against almost every disease known to mankind.
2. Go Green for Greater Productivity- Green tea literally makes you smarter. The key ingredient present in it that stimulates the brain is caffeine (Predictably). However without causing the jitters that coffee does. Moreover, the amino acid L-theanine compound that is exclusively present in this wonder–beverage not only has anti-anxiety effects but also combines with caffeine for more synergistic action in improving brain function.
3. Helps you Live Long and Strong- Green tea fights Cancer, Alzheimer's Disease, lowers risk of Type 2 Diabetes as well as Cardiovascular Disease. Phew. Drink up. Already!
4. Keeps you Smiling- Apart from reducing bad breath, green tea also prevents plaque formation – which is the primary cause for dental decay and diseases such as caries.
All these Super foods can transform your life by ensuring superb health and happiness. So get started on these to look and feel good whether on the Moon or Earth.

Several types of essay structures subsist to provide
guidance and convenience to students. But what stands to be popular
among these structures is the 5 paragraph essay. For years, this
schema has been used to compose and hand-out seamless academic
Despite its prevalence, writing a 5 paragraph
essay does pose unique challenges to students. Some students, who
are used to optimising a different outline, find the 5 paragraph
schema restricting. In response to these issues, Essay Writer has
come to proffer exciting services and expert-level support to
First, you are relieved with the difficulty of
locating references. Essay Writer's roster of professional
researchers can do the digging for free! Next, you can choose to
work with your preferred writer, as well as, request for revisions
until you're satisfied.
Expect to work with experienced writers - all of
whom are bona fide graduates from UK's top institutions. These
writers are adept at using and manoeuvring the dynamics of the
classic essay format. Nevertheless, they are willing to prescribe
their work's quality to the standards of this particular essay
The aspirations for the first paragraph are always
lofty. It has to be interesting to call attention. Generalisations
are seldom tolerated, while it can't be too revealing of details.
These demands serve to add pressure to the writing student.
With Essay Writer's support, students need not put
up with these dilemmas. Expert writers handle the introductory
paragraph with caution, work with a clear plan (or approach) in
mind, and ensure that a thesis statement is always in place.
The body paragraph contains the heart of the
essay. It contains the bulk of arguments, points, examples, and
references. Since a 5 paragraph piece is an academic course
requirement, these contents cannot be haphazardly infused in the
Order, is rather, restored upon this part of the
essay through the establishment of an arrangement. If one were to
compile arguments, the strongest point is likely to be located at
the second paragraph (the first for the body paragraph); and the
weakest point will have to go last.
For examples or references, the same analogy may
apply: the superior will be the first to be presented followed by
the second-superior and the last inferior piece. Learning how to
write a 5 paragraph essay requires proper judgement, particularly,
in using (or tweaking) the arrangements of the body paragraph.
The last part of the essay needs to be as
explosive as the introductory paragraph. It is, indeed, another
pressure-point. Absconding from that image, the task of a student
writing a conclusion is to wrap the main points and offer a
restatement of the thesis statement.

Giants Defer Bonds' Pay to Free Up Money for Zito
Of the near $16 million promised to OF Barry Bonds, some $5 million is being planned for deferment in order to help the Giants scrape up enough money to add to the pay package being put together to lure SP Barry Zito from the East Bay. It may take in excess of $100 million to sign the left-handed former Cy Young Award winner, who is being hotly pursued by Rangers owner Tom Hicks.

Nollywood star, Funlola Aofiyebi-Raimi, has acted as a therapist, sex trafficker, nun, lawyer, doctor, scheming lover and spoilt rich kid among others in 21 years of professional acting. A forthcoming film will see her play the mother of a gay child. The Yoruba-born actress will also be speaking Igbo for the very first time. While not giving much away about the project, Funlola said in an exclusive interview with QedTV that she initially rejected the role because she thought she could not speak Igbo the language convincingly. But the producers thought otherwise. "For some funny reason, the directors, the producers imposed it on me, they forced it on me. They kept telling me yes, 'it's you, it's you. Step out of your comfort zone, do something different. Wow people,'" the University of Lagos sociology graduate said. She eventually accepted the challenge and explained how she mastered her Igbo lines in the video below.

Abstract :
Ten elite short duration rice varieties were introduced from Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI), Bangladesh and evaluated at the Renewable Natural Resources Research and Development Centre – Bhur, in Sarpang in 2014. The varieties were tested both as the spring and main season crops to assess their potential for rice double cropping and crop intensification program of theDepartment of Agriculture. Rice varieties with short maturity duration are needed to adapt to the changing climate and altered growing conditions. The result from the spring crop showed that almost all the introduced varieties were not better than the local check (IR20913) in terms of earliness. Their days to flowering (DTF) ranged from 110 days (d) to 131 days except for one variety which had 103 days. IR 20913 flowered in 110 day and most of the varieties took about 2 weeks or longer to flower. However, the same varieties tested in the main season flowered between 81 d to 99 d which is comparable to the local check (Bhur Kambja 1) with 90 d. As the spring crop, these varieties were not better than the local checks in terms of their earliness. But the Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) varieties like BRRI dhan26, 28, 56 and 58 were identified to be suitable for other agronomic traits such as crop stand, plant height and yield. These varieties produced grain yield of over 2 t/ha. Thus, four of the elite varieties have been selected and will be further evaluated prior to their release as climate resilient varieties.

Reus voted Matchday 30's Player of the Week
Munich - FC Bayern München may have one eye on their upcoming UEFA Champions League semi-final with Real Madrid CF, but it was still going to take something very special to beat the champions at the Allianz Arena.
'A massive lift'
Borussia Dortmund's resounding 3-0 victory in Munich was in no small part down to another imperious display from Marco Reus. The midfielder set up Henrikh Mkhitaryan to open the scoring against Pep Guardiola's side, before netting his seventh goal in four matches just after half time to double BVB's lead. Jonas Hoffmann completed the scoring, but it was Reus' all-round display that earned him bundesliga.com's Player of the Week award for the second time in three weeks.
Reus, who received 45 per cent of the post-matchday poll, was full of praise for his team-mates after the final whistle. "We matched them man for man and were clinical in front of goal," he told reporters. "We knew before the game that Bayern would have plenty of possession. That's why it was important to get at them high up the pitch. Quick players like [Pierre-Emerick] Aubemeyang and Mkhitaryan help in that respect. Both wins this week have given us a massive lift for the DFB Cup semi-final [against VfL Wolfsburg]."
Second with 37 per cent was 1899 Hoffenheim keeper Jens Grahl. The 25-year-old stopper pulled off a string of outstanding saves to deny FC Augsburg at the WIRSOL Rhein-Neckar-Arena and help the Sinsheim club secure a 2-0 victory over Markus Weinzierl's team. The win was also Grahl's first top-flight clean sheet in his career. "I feel great after today's game," he said afterwards. "We took our foot off the gas a little in the second half, but we finally kept a clean sheet and deservedly won."
In third place…
1. FSV Mainz 05 striker Yunus Malli came third with seven per cent of the vote. The midfielder grabbed der Karnivalverein's third against a lacklustre SV Werder Bremen on Saturday, and the 22-year-old could easily have added to his personal tally for the afternoon. Unluckily for him, he was twice denied by the woodwork and had one goal ruled out for offside.
Lars Stindl had an incredible ten attempts at goal in Hannover 96's 2-1 win against Hamburger SV. Stindl, who received six per cent of the vote, opened the scoring for Tayfun Korkut's team, and Didier Ya Konan sealed a priceless win after Hakan Calhanoglu had equalised for HSV just after half time. FC Schalke 04's Julian Draxler came fifth with three per cent after helping the Royal Blues beat Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1, while Kevin De Bruyne's two assists in Wolfsburg's 4-1 victory against 1. FC Nürnberg earned him two per cent of the vote.

"The Tusculum Review" names advisory board members
February 01, 2016GREENEVILLE, Tenn. "The Tusculum Review" recently named Ada Limon and Allison Joseph as members of The Tusculum Review Advisory Board.
The Tusculum Review Advisory Board consists of regionally and nationally renowned editors and writers, who support the literary magazine by promoting it to their peers and encouraging their contacts to submit their literary work, as well as advising members of "The Tusculum Review" editorial staff.
"Each member was carefully selected and invited because they all have made impressive contributions to the world of letters and have influenced the editors of the Review in some way as mentors or collaborators," said Dr. Heather Patterson, associate professor of English at Tusculum College.
Dr. Patterson added, "For instance, Jaimy Gordon won the National Book Award for fiction in 2010, and Bonnie Jo Campbell and Ada Limon were both National Book Award finalists. Allison Joseph is the author of many works such as "What Keeps Us Here,' and "Imitation of Life.' Among her many honors is the John C. Zacharies First Book Prize. Ada Limón is the author of four books of poetry which lead to her becoming a finalist in the National Book Award. The members on our advisory board are successful and innovative writers, and we are proud to have them."
Board members include Limon, Gordon, Joseph, Campbell, Mary Cappello, Richard Greenfield, Martin Lammon, David Lazar, Patrick Madden, Michael Mortone, Wayne Thomas and Kellie Wells.
The Tusculum Review Advisory Board originated with Wayne Thomas, chair of the School of Arts and Sciences and associate professor of English, when he was editor of the Review. Thomas invited working writers to become involved with Tusculum's literary magazine, and when Dr. Patterson became editor, she did the same.
"The Tusculum Review" is an international literary journal that publishes visual art, drama, poetry, fiction and nonfiction. The journal is released annually. "The Tusculum Review" also offers students the chance to learn and refine their skills as reviewers of literature, critics of visual art and editors of the written word. These opportunities provide students with unique qualifications for graduate studies and employment in publishing.
"Tusculum College admires and appreciates literary work," said Dr. Patterson. "People from around the world have submitted to "The Tusculum Review,' and when people read it, they think of Tusculum College and witness Tusculum's support of the arts."

Some of the most popular remedies from homeopathy are related to cold and flu symptoms. When you buy homeopathic cold remedies, you are seeking a natural approach to healing. Whatever your medical viewpoint is when it comes to treating illnesses, there are at the very minimum, a few remedies that can be found easily online. The providers we list below are what we consider to be the best companies offering the remedies you will need. Buy homeopathic cold remedies from the following earth-friendly stores. They have all been selected based on topics such as product availability, eco-friendliness, shipping costs, overall affordability and top notch customer services.
There are more than a handful of suggested homeopathic remedies available to combat common cold symptoms. But, the most successful homeopathic cold remedies are the remedies you buy in advance. After all, part of winning your war with a nasty cold is early detection and treatment.
When we first started our research on the best online stores selling homeopathic cold remedies, we quickly learned that a lot of holistic remedy providers suggest you take Anas barbariae. Additionally, and due to the complexity of cold symptoms, combination holistic flu remedies work in most cases if you have a number of varying symptoms. Think of this as a cocktail tailored specifically on your actual symptoms. See, not all colds produce a fever, so you only need to take the holistic cold remedies that cure or aid the specific symptom you may be experiencing.
Many people who practice homeopathic medicine will tell you that having a wide selection of remedies and ingredients at home will make it easier for you to combat the specific symptoms you have. Due to long shelf life, you can easily afford many different remedies.
This thought process is very effective if you have a persistent cold too. Being able to switch up your homeopathic cold remedy as your cold either persists or subsides is the key to relief. Be sure to take a look at the stores we recommend above not only because they sell the best, most affordable homeopathic cold remedies made from natural, mostly organic products, but because they are also loaded with quality recommendations and educational information regarding your health and well-being on the most natural front.

For the first time in many years, the derisive term "Leastern Conference" rings hollow, with many teams in the East enjoying records of .500 or better.
In the Western Conference, with few exceptions, things have gotten off to a slow start this season.
According to LeBron James, squads in the East are now holding up their "end of the bargain".
Per the NEOMG:
There have been jokes made and nicknames given. Brief conversations have started about changing the playoff format to counter the imbalance. […] "There's always been a conversation," LeBron James said. "Obviously our conference has always been downplayed the last couple years and we've kind of taken it personal."
Last season, the gap between the two conferences was vast. The Milwaukee Bucks (41-41), Boston Celtics (40-42) and Brooklyn Nets (38-44) all reached the playoffs despite less-than-sparkling records. Milwaukee, the East's No. 6 seed, wouldn't even have earned a postseason spot out West. The Oklahoma City Thunder, falling victim to the abundance of depth, missed a playoff berth despite a 45-win year. […] In the West, there were seven teams with at least 50 wins. The East had three reach that mark. One year earlier, it took 49 for Dallas to nab the final playoff spot. That same year Atlanta punched its ticket with a 38-44 record.
"I think from a collective group of all 15 teams, trying to just hold our end of the bargain and not be the sought-after conference," James said pointedly. "The Western Conference respect us, and glad to be on this side and see so many great teams, so many teams doing well." […] It's not even December yet, too early to say there's been a true shift in power, but currently 11 of the 15 East teams boast a record of .500 or better, led by the Cavs' 11-3 mark.
Mark Cuban: 'The East Looks Like The Tougher Conference Right Now'

The Baltimore Sun recently published a list of 50 Things Every Foodie Should Do in Baltimore and former Sun food writer Elizabeth Large did a great job compiling an eclectic list of reader submissions. Jeanette and I love to eat and thought we would add our commentary!
1. Jumbo lump crab cake from Faidley's.
A – Yessss! This is a MUST. Adam introduced me to these delicious crab cakes in Lexington Market and we stopped in for lunch on an epic Baltimore day with out of town guests last summer.
2. Pick steamed hard shells at Mr. Bill's Terrace Inn in Essex.
A – Never been to Mr. Bill's, but steamed crabs are a summer staple. I've also heard good thing about Nick's Fish House which is recently under new management including Kevin Plank.
3. Drink a Natty Boh.
4. Snack on a Berger cookie.
J – Take it a step further and make a Berger Cookie Pie, inspired by Dangerously Delicious' Baltimore Bomb Pie. It is seriously the bomb (ha!) dot com. Super easy to make and great for parties.
5. Put marshmallow on your snowball.
A – Before moving to Baltimore I had no idea what a snowball was and assumed it was just like a snow cone. Was I ever wrong! The shaved ice in a snowball is delightfully light and the flavors they have – from egg custard to cinnamon to dragonberry – are amazing can be tasted in every last bite. And yes, marshmallow is a must.
6. Lake trout. And for those of us who watched "The Wire," have a grape soda with it.
A – I'm just now watching the Wire and I'm only on season 2. Maybe after I get to this scene, I'll have to try some lake trout!
7. Breakfast at Blue Moon Cafe down in Fells Point.
J – I would LOVE to try this place out, but I am just NOT a morning person. I will say, I have told my boyfriend, K, that the only acceptable reason to wake me early on a Saturday is for a trip to Blue Moon. Excited for their Federal Hill location to open!
A – They don't take reservations on can have a 2 hour plus wait on the weekends, so if you ARE a morning person I definitely suggest going early.
8. Corned beef on rye at Attman's.
A – I may be the only Jew that doesn't like rye bread, but I did go to Attman's for a meeting of the Jewish MBA Association so that gets me some points, right? So. Good. Best deli in Baltimore.
9. Have a Resurrection Ale at Brewer's Art
A – Or a Beazly! And definitely get the rosemary garlic fries.
10. Take a Sunday morning stroll through the JFX Farmer's Market.
A – Another summer favorite!
J- Make sure you stop at Blacksauce Kitchen's stand for a breakfast biscuit. YUM. They sell out, so make it your first stop, then hit up Zeke's for an iced coffee. I promise, the coffee line moves faster than it looks.
11. Have a Black Eyed Susan at the Preakness.
A – I've done Preakness infield, but never classed it up with a Black Eyed Susan. It's on my Baltimore bucket list!
12. Shop for shoes and chocolate at Ma Petit Shoe in Hampden.
J – Shoes and chocolate. 'Nuff said.
13. Eat a box of Rheb's buttercreams.
14. Order a Tio Pepe sangria (red).
A – Ohhh yes this is a favorite. I have had many memorable evenings at Tio Pepe with their red sangria. It's where I found out Whitney Houston had died and where we celebrated my father-in-law's 60th birthday!
15. Polish sausage from Ostrowski's
16. Fisher's popcorn downy ocean, hon!
J – Fisher's popcorn is my pringles. I. can't. stop.
17. Sunday brunch on the terrace at Ambassador Dining Room
18. Eat the pumpkin appetizer at the Helmand.
19. Thin crust pizza at Joe Squared.
J – Meh. I was raised in Jersey. Joe Squared is good and all, but nothing can compare to the real deal.
A – But the risotto! The risotto is really good!
20. Try some of the special flavors from Taharka Bros. (formerly Sylvan Beach) ice cream and Pitango Gelato.
21. Make fun of the hipsters at Golden West and Rocket to Venus in Hampden.
J – Some of us like our beer samplers and half-priced burgers, thank you very much.
22. Change your mind about vegan/vegetarian food at Liquid Earth.
23. Try the charcuterie at Clementine.
A – It's been on my list sense Guy stopped in on a Baltimore episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives!
24. Macaroni and cheese with bittersweet chocolate from Jack's Bistro.
A – Tried this at Jack's during restaurant week and it was incredible. It doesn't beat the baked mac and cheese at Mama's on the Half Shell though.
J – Or ANYTHING from Jack's Bistro. Love that the menu is inspired by places the chef recently traveled.
25. Throw in a shrimp salad from Kibby's and/or Mary Mervis.
A – Adam attests to the deliciousness of shrimp salad from Mary Mervis found at Lexington Market.
26. Smith Island Cake, but only from Sugarbakers.
A – My old boss used to get one every Christmas and it was always incredible. The PERFECT cake to icing ratio.
27. Gorge yourself at Vaccaro's.
A – Got the most delicious, authentic cannoli from Vaccaro's for Christmas Eve one year. They broke the bank but man were they good.
J – Is this a thing?! K & I bring them home for my family every Christmas…
28. Bookmaker salad at Sabatino's.
29. Order any sandwich at Trinacria
A – Adam loooves this Italian shop/deli and has definitely gotten me hooked! I'd amend to *almost* any sandwich – I avoid the tuna as it's made with olives!
30. Order the popcorn and deviled eggs at Woodberry Kitchen.
31. Bagel with lox and cream cheese or apricot spread from Greg's.
32. Coddies on a cracker from a rowhouse bar.

J to A – Is this one of those romantic date things, or could it be a bestie co-blogger activity…?
41. Oysters and beer at Cross Street Market!

The Hotel Manhattan is located on Soi 15 and is a popular bar girl friendly choice. It's about 50 meters past the S15 Hotel Bangkok which is another place to stay that won't charge a joiner fee on Sukhumvit road.
And the hotel location is excellent as the usual suspects of adult oriented entertainment are in easy walking distance. Soi Cowboy's go go bars are about a 5 minute walk and Nana Plaza's go go bars are just another short 10 minute or so stroll.
Darlings Soapy Massage is right across Sukhumvit road down Soi 12 and Lollipop blow job bar is also right across on Soi 10. Thermae bar just right around the corner from Manhattan Hotel is a popular pick joint for Thai freelancers. And by walking down to Soi 4 at night and you won't have any problems at all coming across prostitutes.
|Superior room at Manhattan Hotel
The Manhattan hotel is surrounded by a lot of pricy hotels in Bangkok though their room rates are the most affordable. A 28 square meter superior room at the Manhattan cost about 1500THB ($50USD) per night with taxes and discounts included. Standard amenities are included with free Wi-Fi internet access.
The good point about staying at Manhattan Hotel is the location. The slight negative is that the rooms can be a real hit or miss. Since it's an older hotel that hasn't gone through any major renovations you might get a room that is less than desirable. But the hotel has 200 rooms. Which means if you're unhappy with the room given to you, you should ask for a new one.
There are 2 BTS stations not far from the hotel and the MRT subway train is on the entrance of the Terminal 21 Mall. So you can get up to Huay Kwang's soapy massage parlors fast and easy.
Of course the Manhattan Hotel is guest friendly too so you can invite ladies to your room with no joiner fee. Here is an email confirmation from the hotel for your reference:
As the email mentions as long as you book your room for 2 guests you won't be charged a joiner fee. In any case it won't cost extra. Check for discount rates and read more reviews for Manhattan Hotel Bangkok.Dear Jim Hunt,We charge 500baht/person/night.If you made book superior double room.You will not charge for joiner.Best Regards,Thanakrit

Bumblebee (2018)
Parents GuideAdd to guide (Coming Soon)
- Certification
- Sex & Nudity (5)
- Violence & Gore (5)
- Profanity (3)
- Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking (1)
- Frightening & Intense Scenes (1)
- Spoilers (2)
|Rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi action violence
Sex & Nudity
- Two characters clearly have romantic interest in each other, but it is shown very minimally (the most is a kiss on the cheek).
- In one scene a girl is shown wearing a short skirt and as she turns to get into her car you see a flash of her butt cheeks.
- Main Characters's Mom and her Boyfriend shown kissing in one scene
- Some cleavage shown early on, along with short shorts
- When Charlie enters Memo's room, he moves out many containers of lubricant claiming they're his sisters.
Violence & Gore
- While the tone of the film is much more light-hearted and inviting than the other films in the series, 'Bumblebee' features many sequences of robot on robot violence. Robots are shot, sliced in half, blown up, and the like.
- Most violent acts happen against humanoid robotic characters, with characters sustaining fatal injuries including dismemberment, decapitation, and crushing, while non-fatal injuries include characters sustaining damage from falls, torture, gunfire, impalement, and electric shock.
- Violent acts against human characters are mostly non-gory and bloodless. People are tossed around by explosions and big robots or are involved in vehiclular collisions, but generally are assumed to have survived with relatively minor injuries, although they do show the end results, like a main character who is injured early and has a scar on his face for the rest of the film, while others have various scratches and bruises, while another has an arm in a sling.
- Two human characters are killed on-screen with an alien energy weapon that reduces them to a gelatinous liquid smear.
- Possibly the most brutal scene depicts a robot being cut in half lengthwise with a sword, shown in close-up., then the two halves fall to either side.
- Agent Burns played by John Cena has a few lines
- "Oh God what a dumbass" and "Jesus" used in vain
- Agent Burns and Charlie say the word sh*t a few times but other than that there is no other type of profanity.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
- A mother asks a young character if they are on drugs.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- While this installment is much lighter in tone than the other films, and has less action sequences, there are a few intense scenes, as well as character deaths that definitely earn this film's PG-13 rating.
Sex & Nudity
- Two teenaged side characters are shown kissing.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- There are two sequences where a Decepticon uses an ability that makes humans explode into a clear goopy substance. One of the two humans is a supporting character, and the other is an unimportant character who is only shown in that one short scene. While these scenes fit in line with the film's PG-13 rating, and wouldn't stand out as much in the other films in the series, in the context of this film that is lighter in tone and more inviting to younger audiences, these scenes can be particularly jarring for some who were expecting a less violence.

globalFEST is North America's most important world music festival, and this season they are taking Orkesta Mendoza and Las Cafeteras on the road. Orkesta Mendoza and Las Cafeteras are two of today's most exciting bands and are redefining Latin music. Indie mambo band Orkesta Mendoza, and alternative Chicano band Las Cafeteras, will share the stage in a performance you won't want to miss.

More about globalFEST: Featuring Las Cafeteras and Orkesta Mendoza
The New Golden Age of Latin Music is being created right here in the United States. The Mexican-American communities of Arizona and California have emerged as hotbeds of musical creativity, merging styles that reflect the changing borders and shared cultural identities between Mexico and the United States. Orkesta Mendoza and Las Cafeteras are two of today's most exciting bands, forging inspired new paths for the fabled Latin sound.
The infectious indie mambo band Orkesta Mendoza mixes a multitude of Latin styles like cumbia, merengue and ranchera through a psychedelic mambo and post-punk prism, creating a truly one-of-a-kind sound. Bandleader, keyboardist, guitarist and vocalist Sergio Mendoza (who has long collaborated with Calexico and Devotchka) leads a powerhouse band fronted by the rich baritone of vocalist and dancer Salvador Duran, and framed by guitar, keyboard, percussion, drums and brass.
Find out more about Orkesta Mendoza
Alternative Chicano band Las Cafeteras recreates traditional Afro-Caribbean Son Jarocho music in a wildly vibrant style. Their rousing socially conscious messages, in English and Spanglish, tell stories of a community that is looking for love and fighting for justice in the concrete jungle of East LA. The band is accompanied by instruments including jarana and requinto guitars, a donkey jawbone and a tarima, a wooden platform for dancing.

Intercessory prayer is more for God than for us. It is more a way for God to accomplish His purposes on earth than for us to get God to give us, or those we pray for, something. Jesus clearly thought first of God and His glory when it came to prayer. In a troubling moment He didn't immediately think of how the Father could help Him. He even said that He wouldn't pray, "Father, save me from this hour?" Instead, recognizing that His suffering was part of God's plan, He simply prayed, "Father, glorify your name!" (John 12:27–28).
On another occasion Jesus promised His disciples that if they would ask in His name He would do what they asked. But He didn't stop there. He went on to say that He would act in response to their prayers "so that the Son may bring glory to the Father." In other words, their asking was not just to get His help or to be empowered for ministry. The ultimate reason for their asking and His acting was to glorify the Father. Jesus clearly viewed prayer as for God and for His glory.
–Adapted from Praying God's Heart (Prayers that Make a Difference) by Alvin VanderGriend. Click on the title for more information about this resource.
Father, forgive my self-centered, selfish prayers. So often I rush into Your presence with my list, forgetting to draw near, and to remember that the God who created the universe and who is worthy of my praise, is listening to every word. May I be so caught up in the glory of Your very Name that my only desire as I pray is to honor You by lifting up whatever You place upon my heart. Show me how to bring You glory through every prayer I pray, knowing that You care deeply for the concerns of my heart because they flow out of Your own.
Prayer Points
Praise God, who is "holy, holy, holy" (Isa. 6:3). Give thanks for God's glory, which is seen throughout the whole earth. Confess any sin which keeps you from experiencing the holiness and glory of God. Commit your life anew today to seeking God's holiness and glory. Ask him to reveal himself to you as you seek his glory in your life.
Pray that your family will have a renewed sense of God's glory in all areas of your family life—our work, relationships, conversation, leisure time, and so on.
Prayer Pointer
"The ministry of intercession is very demanding. To be serious about intercession is to be ready to give ourselves for the sake of others." —Maxie Dunnam

I wanted to take my 87 yo mother for a holiday with my sister as we had done in previous years. Finding a location that was not too taxing travel-wise and where there were attractions to cater for all abilities was the challenge. I had gifted a stay at Port Douglas to some friends as a wedding present and they returned with glowing reports on Ramada Port Douglas (during renovation period!) so I was keen to see for myself now the renos were complete.
The open foyer (plus free roaming cockatoo) and tropical garden courtyard were refreshing and very welcoming. We felt comfortable and relaxed immediately. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful (as always) with planning our activities for the week. After settling into our very spacious 2 bedroom unit we visited the onsite restaurant, Tree Bar & Grill, for some "Sundowners" by the pool (there is a different cocktail special everyday and we tried them all) while we went through our brochures. We dined at the restaurant on a number of occasions and could not have done better anywhere else.
Our first day was a take it easy day – a Sunday. My sister and I went for a morning walk on 4 Mile Beach only a short distance (2 minutes) from the resort, while the others had a sleep in.
Our plan was to take the Balleyhooly Steam Train (St Crispin's station is just across the road at the Sheraton Country Club) to the Marina Mirage and walk up to the Sunday Markets and township. Day two was a reef visit. We chose Quicksilver Cruises to the outer Great Barrier Reef, as it offered something for everyone. A stable pontoon meant mum was safe and she went out on the submersible to see the reef while we went snorkeling.
The next day we did a self guided tour of historical sites of the town and Flagstaff Hill. Lunch at Lure Restaurant and Bar, at the marina, was delicious. One goal for mum was to see the Daintree National Park and Cape Tribulation so a road trip north, taking in Mossman Gorge on the way, was essential. The Gorge was easy for mum. A trolley car ride from the visitors center, into the park and an easy well-paved walk to the Gorge, meant we all could enjoy its beauty.
Further north, crossing the Daintree River, we picnicked at Thornton's Beach where the forest meets the ocean and found a wonderful exotic fruit farm that sold homemade ice cream with flavors like lychee, black sapote, mango and coconut (it only came as 4 scoops in the cup, so you had to try all).
Our last major destination before heading home was Kuranda. It has many interesting attractions that could take days to get through. The big draw card for me was the Butterfly House. Mum wanted to do the Skyrail (she had been on the scenic train before) and then there was the myriad of shops and local traders to visit. It was a rainy day in Port Douglas and we had decided to go north and out to Mareeba on the Tableland and then into Kuranda and back up the coast. What a fun trip. We visited wineries, coffee farms, chocolate houses and then coming back onto the coast – Palm Cove – a beautiful beachside community just north of Cairns.
We managed to fit it all in and still had plenty of time to relax and enjoy the facilities at Ramada Port Douglas. There are many more activities to experience so I am going back with some Canadian visitors next year. Can't wait!

December - Wine Cassis
How to choose the right wines for a thanksgiving or Christmas dinner
As Christmas is coming with the inevitability of a credit card bill and there is a whole load of things to worry about. Christmas present buying, a possibly expensive and traumatic period, followed by the Christmas card list, the decorations, the food, all the food and possibly the last on the list, the Christmas drinks. Christmas drinks are possibly the least thought about but are the subtle catalyst that can turn an ordinary Christmas into a great one. Yes, you can go with all your normal standbys but Christmas is special and so are Christmas drinks.
To start with there are many traditional Christmas drinks like Egg Nog and mulled ale, in fact my father used to put his beer into a pewter tankard, heat a couple of pokers in the fire, then plunge them into the tankard. This should only be attempted with metal drinks containers, I have a vague recollection of him trying it with glass and making a mess on the floor when it broke, also I do not think it works with lager or other blond beers, a good bitter, brown ale or porter should be robust enough to take that sort of treatment. Possibly the most traditional of all Christmas drinks is mulled wine, know in Germany and probably around the world as Gluhwein, this is a warm infusion of red wine, lemons, cloves, cinnamon and sugar. This traditional Christmas drink has a whole host of modifications, not only in the different regions of Germany but around the European continent. To the basic ingredients can be added rum, brandy, Calvados even, I have heard Vodka which would add kick, but not much taste. Another popular ingredient is the orange, either as slices or zest but I think you could add any citrus fruit that you prefer. Please do not forget to wash thoroughly and. if possible, get the unwaxed variety of fruits. Another variation worth considering is the addition of juices, orange or apple are best, cordials, elder flower is quite refreshing, or even herbal teas. Any of these will make a different and interesting drink for Christmas that, if you remember to make a note of just what you have made, could become your signature Christmas drink that everybody looks forward to.
Another good starter is of course Champagne, it is a very sophisticated way to kick your party off. Nowadays though there are a lot of sparkling wines that can compete with the original Champagne, in England there are many Champagnes available via the supermarkets that are extremely good at very competitive prices, there are also a number of good English sparkling wines made in the champagne method that are very good as well. In fact, global warming has led to a number of French Champagne producers buying land in the South of England and planting vines. A good idea to make your Champagne go further is to offer a Bucks Fizz which is Champagne and orange juice or why not try a Kir Royale made from Champagne with a dash of Creme de Cassis, a blackberry liqueur
The basic recipe is a bottle of red wine, make sure it has some body to it either a classic, but inexpensive Cabernet Sauvignon or another robust Vin du Pays, to which you will add 5 to 20 cloves, depending on your taste, a stick of cinnamon and 2 to 4 tablespoons of sugar, normal or demerara if you want to be bold. Chop a wedge of lemon and stick your cloves into the skin, this will stop them floating about in peoples drink, then slice the rest. Pour the wine and the rest of the ingredients into a saucepan and heat. Do not, I repeat do not allow to boil as this will remove all the alcohol and ruin the taste. This is the basic recipe so you can adjust to suit your taste, it is best served in heat proof glasses, but you can improvise.
When it comes to the Christmas meal there are a whole range of drinks, from the appetizer to the digestive to think about if you want a truly memorable day, but for those on a strict budget, you can adjust to meet your pocket. If you are serving Christmas lunch, a Sherry is a grand way to kick things off but you have to think of your guests palates. A good bottle of fino and oloroso will cater to the dry and sweet taste with excellent examples coming from Domeque or Harveys although there are a wide range of excellent Sherries around if your budget is tight, go for a sweet or medium dry type.
A wine to accompany the main dish is purely a matter of taste, much is talked about the merits of red wine with red meat and white wine with fish or chicken but at the end of the day it really ought to be what you prefer, just because the gourmands try to intimidate you with their knowledge, you don't need to buy into that, have a bottle of red and a bottle of white and let your guests decide what they want to drink, it is Christmas after all, not a society luncheon. That said, a little direction will not go amiss when it comes to choosing a wine for a special occasion. Certainly beef, turkey, particularly the dark meat, duck or goose will suit a good red wine. A Bordeaux, perhaps a St Emillion or Fronsac will not break the bank, there are a lot more expensive wines in this region, but if you can afford them you should visit a fine wine shop with knowledgeable staff who will give you very good advice on the wines available. You could also try a Rioja from Spain, a Montepulciano from Italy or any of the Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Merlot or even, my favourite Malbec that are available from vineyards around the world, particularly Argentina. I must confess that my own particular favourite area is Cahors in France, they produce some big bold wines with lots of body. If you are having a large number of people to dinner, you could buy your wine in a box, it is still very good quality and you don't have to pull all those corks, just serve it in a decanter or a good jug. Serving any red wine this way is better than just pulling the cork out of the bottle an hour or two before serving, if you think it can get to breathe through that tiny neck, try to breathe through a straw and you will get the idea.
For a white wine the standby is a good Chardonnay although you should be aware that some of the heavy oak overtones may be too much for a white meat such as chicken or fish. You may wish to investigate a French wine like a white Burgundy, or if you like very dry wine, a Sancerre from the Loire Valley. Others to consider are Pinot Grigot a grape associated with Italy but is grown around the world or a good German Reisling or Hock, Bordeaux has good white wines like Entre Deux Mers but you should ask your local wine merchant or the wine manager in your local supermarket for ideas. Some people will compromise and go for a Rose wine and there are a number of acceptable wines in this category, Mateus Rose is probably the best known, but Rose D'Anjou from France is very good and there are remarkable rose wines from California, Australia and other parts of the world.
If you are really pushing the boat out, you will want a wine for dessert and for a cheese course. The dessert course is ruled by Sauterne an expensive wine whose king is Chateau d'Yquem at a price that Bill Gates may blink at. There are other Sauternes less expensive but a more economical option could be a Malbec, from the same area, still very acceptable. You may also consider a Muscadet from either France or Spain.
For a cheese course. the classic wine accompaniment is Port, although a red or even certain white wines are acceptable, depending on the cheeses served. Ports come in several different qualities, white should be avoided as this is more an appetizer, but the rest is a matter of taste and budget.
At the end of the day this is going to be an enjoyable time and providing there are not any glaring errors people will enjoy whatever you serve because this is a time of sharing and goodwill to all.
One final tip, a drink that is really hot right now is Perry, it is like Cider but is made from special pears it is going to be really big in 2007 so get in first, if you can find some.

Jim Leeke — AABP
Ariel House, the headquarters of British baseball and softball, rises almost in the shadow of London's iconic BT Tower. The taxi driver easily found the address earlier this month, although he'd never been there before. A guard asked me to sign in and handed me a badge.
Upstairs, bobbleheads danced everywhere, amid posters and autographed balls and framed jerseys. Two British baseball officials met me. I'd seen their national team play well in September at the World Baseball Classic qualifier in Brooklyn. MLB Network had broadcast Great Britain's final game with Israel and everybody was happy.
I shared AABP's plans for a WWI "baseball match" in 2018.
They smiled and asked how they might help.

According to the study and regional monitoring data of the organization: Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, ECLAC, Latin America would advance 2.2% in terms of GDP by 2018.
In a statement, ECLAC explains this due to the better conditions in commodity prices and the recovery of the Brazilian economy alongside Mexico, the largest economy in the region.
As commented by Alicia Bárcena, who is the President of ECLAC, the result of the region over the next year will grow due to the dynamism that presents Brazil and its economy. In addition, several countries that are growing at more moderate rates will have a noticeable acceleration of its economic activity.
Also, according to the organization, a better ecosystem of consumption and domestic investment was added. According to data from the Brazilian statistical authorities, 2018 would be a healthy year in the macroeconomic aspect for the Brazil. The GDP of this economy would advance, according to the government agency of statistics by 2.0%. The forecast for 2017, after the political crisis and recession suffered in the last 24 months to 36 months, was 0.9% for real GDP.
In its report, the ECLAC stressed that the other Latin American giant, Mexico, will gain ground in 2018 by 2.4%. For the present 2017, it is projected that the Aztec economy closed the period with a 2.7% advance.
However, it will be Panama the one to register a 5.5% of GDP growth for 2018, being the regional economy that will have more dynamism in terms of aggregate income.
Argentina and Colombia, on the other hand, and according to ECLAC, it will grow 3.0% and 2.6% for 2018 respectively. Meanwhile, Peru and Chile will show advances in its real GDP by 3.5% and 2.8% each.
The official of ECLAC said the situation and the quarterly outlook for the region and the domestic demand will have a very important role for growth and the acceleration of the same for 2018, but it will have some differences with the components.
She also said that private consumption is still an engine of domestic demand, but that next year will have a higher contribution of investment, as well as the product of the recovery of the gross fixed capital formation. On the other hand, he stressed the need to promote public policies that are active to hold the expansive cycle in the economy.
According to this more optimistic habitat, the organization predicted that the rate of unemployment should yield in Latin America and converge towards a 9.2% in 2018. However, ECLAC said that the Venezuelan economy will drop 9.5% at the end of this year and would fall by 5.5% in 2018.
For the Anglo-Saxon Caribbean, an increase whose average is 1.5% for 2018 was considered, compared with almost zero expansion this year, due to the contribution of spending in reconstruction after the damage caused by hurricanes Irma and Maria in some countries, ECLAC said.

St Winifred's Well is a geographical, physical place. It can be found on an OS map, marked by a small cross symbol. It is made of bricks and mortar, you can walk around it and touch it. It is also a place that has been built (and continues to be so) by words. People are often led to the well by guides and you are directed around the site itself by signs and written prayers. Poems have been written about the history of the site and reports of miraculous cures have been recorded and distributed. Perception of the well is shaped in a vital way by words.
In terms of my work, I have been playing around with different sizes and positioning of text. I am particularly interested in the text on maps- it flows across the page and conveys meaning beyond its inherent message; the size, colour, position and font all convey information. Picture and word come together. I am hoping this is something I can explore further in my own picture-making.

Hangul (Korean Alphabet) Campaign Bench
Back Download
Since 2008, Naver has launched the Hangul Campaign for six years. As part of this campaign, the vowel and consonants of Hangul, the Korean alphabet, served as inspiration for the shape of benches in a public relaxation zone in the city of Myeongdong. It opened in 2013 on the occasion of a poetry exhibition presenting the winners of "Korea's beautiful poetry contest" held on Hangul Day in 2012. The idea was to provide visitors with an opportunity to experience and appreciate the beauty and grace of the Korean alphabet and its significance as cultural heritage. The benches themselves provide a warm, tranquil atmosphere and convey the beauty of Hangul.

Monday and Tuesday night was cue to cue. Pretty painless, all in all. I always find the first 40 minutes or so of cue to cue excrutiating, mostly because I'm a fifth wheel, sitting on the sidelines while SMs, ASMs, and techs scuttle around, sorting out who's doing what, and how. This time, I busied myself by typing up the line notes from Sunday's run -- a task which became considerably harder once the house lights had gone down. So much for multitasking.
But the actors were incredibly patient and good-spirited, and once the techs found their groove, they boogied through the first act in a couple of hours, leaving us in good shape for Tuesday night. We moved just as smoothly through act two, although we still hadn't found the magic music that would give the final tableau its due. Phil had a few options, and I think we've found the right one. Maybe we'll try it out tonight; if not, tomorrow.
It's strange, seeing my play carved up into a series of transitions and tableaux. I guess it shouldn't be odd, since we've been rehearsing it in shreds and patches since the very start, and only recently have begun to put it all into a single narrative whole. I guess the weirdness stems from seeing the moments from a technical perspective -- not as dramatic turning points, but merely as cues for lighting or sound stuff to occur. It's going to be like that from here on in, for me, at least. Until the tech, and set, and costumes, and props are all settled and in place, I will be unable to see past those absences. It's like the big, white curtain sitting upstage, waiting for projections to illuminate it (which won't happen until Saturday). Until it serves some dramatic purpose, it sticks out like a big, white, thumb.
But soon, very soon, that will change again. I'll be able to see the show through an audience's eyes...and everything will be different.
