Armed Garda unit involved in five-hour stand-off
A siege-type situation that developed at a house in Connemara was brought to a peaceful conclusion by Gardaí after a five-hour stand-off.
The Connacht Tribune understands that the Gardaí had been trying to execute a bench warrant in relation to the arrest of a woman in her 30s.
However, when Gardaí called to a house at Bealadangan near Leitir Mór at around 9pm on the Wednesday night of last week – where they had established the woman was located – they failed to gain entry despite repeated requests.
Gardaí were concerned that the woman may have been armed, leading to the call-out of the Garda Armed Support Unit.
The stand-off is understood to have lasted for about five hours but came to a conclusion at around 2am on the morning of October 15, when a specialist Garda unit forced their way into the house – the woman, who was alone in the house, was then arrested by the Gardaí.
Inspector Peter Conlon, confirmed to the Connacht Tribune that a stand-off situation that had developed in the Bealadangan area had been brought to a peaceful conclusion.

77-year-old Peadar in training for his 41st Dublin City Marathon
The show must go on – even if it's the Dublin City Marathon, you're 77-years old, and you have to fast-walk the event on the roads surrounding the fields of Athenry.
Peadar Nugent from Moyvilla, Derrydonnell, does intend to retire from the marathon circuit. But not just yet. He's planning to hold on for another three years, until he reaches his 80th birthday.
Not for one moment did Peadar have any doubts over participating in his 41st successive Dublin City Marathon, once he knew for definite that the event was going ahead – in virtual format.
The virtual bit means that the marathon field will run their 26 miles and 285 yards in their home areas all across Ireland and be satellite tracked on their mobile phone or Garmin devices.
Despite shoulder, hip and knee surgeries down through the years, Peadar is one of an elite group of 13 athletes who has managed to complete all 40 of the Dublin City Marathons.
Those surgeries and an osteoarthritis diagnosis haven't diminished Peadar's enthusiasm for the road by one whit – although he has heeded the surgeon's advice to walk, rather than run the event, over recent years.
"In previous years, I've come in around the five hours and 20 or so minutes mark (roughly 12 minutes a mile) but that's with a big crowd around and the atmosphere of the occasion.
"This year [the October Bank Holiday Weekend], I'll be walking it around my own area along with fellow Athenry club member, Máire Treasa Beatty, and I'm hoping to come in at six hours – or maybe just a bit under," Peadar told the Connacht Tribune this week.
Needless to say, Peadar lives a healthy life. He never drank nor smoked and has hardly ever missed a morning in his life without his usual breakfast – a big bowl of porridge.
"Even on marathon days, my diet has never changed. The bowl of porridge is the perfect food for the marathon – you're not too full and yet it sustains you.
"During the races themselves, it's just a case of regular water intakes and about half-way through, one banana. The banana is easy to absorb and it helps to replenish the sugar levels," said Peadar.
(Photo: Peadar Nugent pictured with Máire Treasa Beatty after collecting their medallions on completion of the 40th Dublin City Marathon in October, 2019. They are now gearing up for the 41st virtual running of the event on Sunday week next).

Health official worried Galway reaching Covid crisis point
Coronavirus has ripped through Galway, with an 'explosion' of positive cases among the 18-24 age group, as the threat of infection moves 'closer to home'.
A total of 400 new cases of Covid-19 were confirmed in Galway in a fortnight; 264 of them came in the seven days to Sunday October 11, the worst week on record, when a new daily high for confirmed cases was set.
Among the new cases were staff and children of a city crèche, and an outbreak associated with GAA county final celebrations in Moycullen.
Dr Breda Smyth, Director of Public Health in the West, said there has been a "dramatic increase" in infected young people, which "is a cause for concern".
She said that the virus was "coming closer to home" for everyone because compared with the Spring, now "we all know of cases within our social networks, or within our communities".
Wave one in March and April primarily impacted an older demographic and healthcare workers. This second wave is different, with a surge in infection among young people in particular. This has been developing since mid-September, but is not confined to third level students.
"What we're seeing now, is people who are vulnerable realise that and are protecting themselves more than they did earlier. We are seeing this explosion in infection in the younger population and I think it's really important that they are mindful of the effect of that.
"We have a young population from 18-24, maybe just thinking that 'I'm not going to get that sick'. But if they have a part-time job they must remember they could be positive and not know it and bring it into that setting, a restaurant, a bar, a childcare facility, a nursing home. They may be positive because of their activities over the weekend and not know it, because 40% of cases are asymptomatic and they could be spreading it," she said.

Artists' tribute to Sharon for her support and dedication
Arts Week with Judy Murphy
Galway County Arts Officer Sharon O'Grady was honoured during the recent Clifden Arts Festival for her ongoing work and dedication to promoting the arts in Connemara. Sharon was presented with a limited-edition print, the work of Inis Mór artist Seán Ó Flaithearta, which he created for a new show, Carrying the Songs. This multi-disciplinary project was showcased during the Clifden Festival at Interface, a unique arts space in Connemara's Lough Inagh Valley, which was once the site of a salmon hatchery
Carrying the Songs, which was developed between March and September, combined the art of storytelling and the phenomenon of 'Dúirt bean liom go ndúirt bean lei', as it explored notions of memory, place, language communication and rumour. It opened during Clifden Arts Festival
The brainchild of Interface founder, artist Alannah Robins, Carrying the Songs began on the Aran Islands last March with a story told by 18-year-old Liam Ó Flaithearta, a great-grandnephew and namesake of the renowned writer. It finished in Istanbul last month. The original story was told and then retold more than 300 times on its journey across Europe and the final version was vastly different to the original.
On its journey, it was translated between well-known and minority languages. These included English, Irish, Scots Gaelic, Welsh, French, Breton, Occitan, Basque, Catalan, Kikongo, Swabian, Swiss German, German, Dutch, Flemish, Friesian, Danish, Swedish, Arabic, Norwegian, Norrsjö Bonska, Samiska, Meänkeli, Finnish, Estonian, Mulgi, Võru, Seto, Livonian and Latvian.

A Queens judge threw the book at a former Parks Department employee who stabbed a co-worker to death on the job, sending him to prison for 25 years for the manslaughter death.
"You killed my brother, a father of three and one of them will never know him because he was just a month old when you murdered him," said victim Ezra Black's brother Azaryah in an impact statement before Robert Swann was sentenced Monday for the September 2012 killing.
Swann, 53, escalated a verbal altercation when he brandished a knife and stabbed Black, 31, once in the chest inside a garage at Flushing Meadows Park.
The pair had worked together as janitors for two short weeks. Swann testified on his own behalf at trial and told detectives that Black was always disrespectful to him and other colleagues.
"I pray none of your family would go through this pain and suffering we go through," said Black's heartbroken mother, Mildred, 66, as other relatives in the courtroom cried uncontrollably.
"I didn't even get to say goodbye to him, my father was a great man," wept Black's 13-year-old son, Joshua.
The courtroom was filled with relatives of Black and Swann. Sixteen letters of support from Swann's family, friends and co-workers were submitted to the court requesting leniency from Justice Ira Margulis.
"Your statements after the arrest are the most telling, you 'couldn't live in an environment with someone who disrespects you,' but I'm sorry, there's no justification here," said Margulis, who slapped Swann with the maximum amount of prison time for manslaughter.
The jury acquitted Swann of murder, criminal possession of a weapon and tampering with physical evidence, but convicted him of the lesser charge of manslaughter.
Black didn't even have a weapon and there was no threat or justification, said prosecutor Denise Tirino.
Swann got "too emotional" to speak at the proceedings. Through his attorney, Michael Sifff, he instead said he "never meant for this to happen, he just wanted to go an overtime shift that day."

The Title-element of a website is one of about 200 factors that Google uses to calculate the rankings in the SERPs (Search Engine Result Pages). This makes the title element, also called the title tag, one of the most important factors when it comes to a website's OnPage optimisation. When designing the title of a page, it is important to keep the following things in mind:
- every URL should have a title
- every URL should have a different/unique title
- the keyword you want the URL to primarily rank for should be in the title
- this keyword should be the first word in the title (this is a heavily weighted ranking factor)
- the title should not go beyond a certain length (number of characters)
- the title should be optimised for the user (give them an added value, animate them to click on your result)
Table of Contents
- Title-Optimization: the creation of an optimal title element
- Tool for optimising the meta-description
- Title-tag optimisation: best practice examples
- Worst practice example of a title crammed with keywords

- Additional information on this topic:
Title-Optimization: the creation of an optimal title element
The "optimal title" for a website is made up of no more than 55 characters (not counting spaces), otherwise it could be cut off by a (…). The title uses the keyword as the first word(s), for which the URL (page) is supposed to receive good rankings and consists of one or two sentences.
You should also pay attention that the title seems natural and adds informative value to the user. (Simple listing numerous keywords in the title is unnatural and does not offer any added value).
Tool for optimising the meta-description
SERP Snippet-Generator
Optimise the title and the meta-description of your page to generate as many clicks for your search result as possible. The SERP Snippet-Generator gives you a preview of how other users see your page in the search results.
Title-tag optimisation: best practice examples
- Informative and meaningful – takes the question from the video into account. 70 characters were used (spaces included).
- Informative and meaningful – the searched product is being advertised and the target audience is clear. 61 characters were used (spaces included).
Worst practice example of a title crammed with keywords
- not natural, meaningful or even informative. The title is too long and cut off by (…). The appropriate keyword [brown shoes] is not the first part of the title.
(original title was: "Brown Boots, Brown Shoes, Brown Wedges, Brown Heels & Flats | ModCloth")
Better (for example) : "Brown Shoes and more – [name of the online shop]"
- Another good strategy when optimising the title tag is to display the domain- or brandname in the title.
Explanation video by Matt Cutts / Google for this topic
How does Google choose titles for search results?
What criteria does Google use to change the title it shows in the SERPs depending on the query? Does schema influence that? Maybe headings (h1, h2..) have more weight?
Additional information on this topic:
- An older video by Matt Cutts, Head of Google Webspam Team, about "Snippets and Titles" is also worth a watch.

How to Decrease Large Pores
Pores help keep your skin healthy, hydrated and soft. However, large pores can be unattractive. While pore size is largely defined by genetics and age, there are some that can minimize the size of your pores. Some of these treatments are over-the-counter, while others require a visit to your dermatologist. If you find these treatments ineffective at shrinking your pores, you can camouflage your pores with careful makeup choices.
Step 1
Exfoliate to unclog your pores. Over-the-counter exfoliation treatments that use small buffing granules and include salicylic acid are effective at speeding the removal of dead skin. This can help unclog your pores and reduce their appearance.
Step 2
Use an over-the-counter clay mask to reduce the amount of oil in your pores, temporarily shrinking them. However, this treatment can be very drying, so it is not appropriate for everyone.
Step 3
Rejuvenate your face. The American Academy of Dermatology notes that facial skin rejuvenation treatments using lasers can significantly reduce pore size. In particular, intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment reduces pore size as well as improves skin tone and texture. You must see a licensed, trained dermatologist for this type of treatment.
Step 4
Reduce acne and oil production. The American Academy of Dermatology states that women between 35 and 50 often suffer from intermittent acne flare ups. Photodynamic therapy treatment of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) activated by a 1450nm diode laser penetrates the oil glands and helps reduce oil production, thus reducing pore size. You must see a licensed, trained dermatologist for this type of treatment.
Step 5
Camouflage your pores. If you can't reduce your pore size, you can hide the pores effectively with makeup. Use a primer to prevent seepage into your pores. Apply a cream-based or powder foundation that matches your skin tone. Don't use liquid foundation as even with a primer it can seep into your pores, making them more prominent.

alice + olivia and MAGNUM Ice Cream Unveil Two Mini Skirts
I couldn't resist telling you about the cutest collab I've seen in quite awhile…it makes perfect sense! Sugary-sweet brand alice + olivia has partnered with MAGNUM Ice Cream to create two mini skirts…the "classic" and the "almond" available in stores and online this week! (watch this video)
Stacey Bendet designed the skirts off of the MAGNUM mini ice cream bars and they will each retail for $396 (slightly more than an ice cream bar, but ya know…cost per wear, folks. Is it wrong I would wear these to the mailbox?).
- The "classic" inspired mini skirt is made with a silk and lace base with sequin and bead embellishment
- The "almond" inspired is made with a power mesh base with sequin and chain embellishment
The mini skirts were shown at the recent spring presentation, and ice cream was had by all (right, Sarah?! 'fess up!), including celebs like Kelly Bensimon.
I'll take both the mini skirts and the ice cream, please. You only live once.
P.S. I'm honored we were asked to be a part of a video the two brands were making recently. But alas, I had just left New York. Huge le sigh right there…

He weighs 28kgs and is 1.36 m tall). He responds very well to it. We moved him from 20mg LA Ritalin at the end of term 2. We received his report and although he still did very well, he has had a slight regression in some areas. His teacher mentioned that his concentration was not as good as it was and he has made careless mistakes - not because he does not know the work, but because he was not concentrating. I find the concerta is fine for his afternoon homework. Do you think it would be ok to talk to his paed about the possibility of an additional 5mg short acting in the mornings only (on top of the concerta). I dont think he needs the 52mg concerta yet.I would appreciate your opinion.Thank you More: All ExpertsPaediatrician Expert's Reply A.Paediatrician Thank you for giving me such clear information including your son's weight and height.You can safely increase your son's Concerta dose to 54mg which is the maximum recommended daily dose of this treatment for children aged 6 to 12 years.This would be better than adding Ritalin in the morning.I am sure that you know that Ritalin and Concerta are the same medicines namely methylphenidate hydrochloride. The Concerta is just a slow release form of methylphenidate. The information provided does not constitute a diagnosis of your condition.

Netflix's commitment to streaming popular movies appears to be on the wane after a study showed that its US service contained only 31 of the top 250 movies as voted by users of the Internet Movie Database (IMDb).
According to the Streaming Observer, the titles available include such well-known films as Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump and Trainspotting, but not the top IMDb title The Shawshank Redemption, or indeed any of its top five. The report also suggests the number of these movies available to Netflix users is shrinking. A previous study by a Reddit user in 2014 came up with 49 titles. (Those that appear to have disappeared include The Graduate, Annie Hall and Fargo.)
It is likely that Netflix's retreat from licensing back-catalogue films is part of its emphasis on developing its own content. Its success with box set-style releases of multipart series such as Orange Is the New Black and House of Cards has been well documented. The current presence in cinemas of more orthodox feature film-style offerings such as the Christopher Guest comedy Mascots and Ava DuVernay's hard-hitting documentary 13th is an indication that it has a strategy of boosting its projects' profiles with a short theatrical release alongside streaming.
Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, Ted Sarandos, Netflix's chief content officer, explained the intent behind Netflix's theatrical release strategy. "Putting it in a theatre might create a shorthand for people to understand that these are really big movies ... These are not 'TV movies'," he said.
David Wells, Netflix's chief financial officer, was quoted by Variety stating that the company wants half of its content to be original productions over the next few years. "We've been on a multiyear transition and evolution toward more of our own content."

Verified Twitter users can now hide offensive tweets from notifications
Twitter today released an update to its iOS app that delivered a new feature for some verified users called 'Quality filter.'
Quality filter allows verified users to hide tweets in notifications containing threats, offensive or abusive language, duplicate content or that are sent from suspicious accounts, similar to the old "filtered" option users had previously. The renamed feature appears to be still rolling out.
Spotted by Anil Dash, co-founder at ThinkUp, the new option is available under the notifications tab and allows verified users to hide offending tweets. It's not clear if it's going to roll out to the wider Twitter service in the future, but we certainly hope it does.
Previously, verified users could enable a "tailored" timeline that hid spam, this option appears to replace that and functions in almost the exact same way, however it now works across all notification types.
The new feature comes just weeks after Twitter's CEO admitted that the company does not deal with abuse on the service appropriately and promised that the company will do more to help in the future.

Workshops, Courses etc
Next workshops
In the UK
Nothing near you? Well there two ways that you can do this: You "hire" me via CLEAPSS (01895251496 for the day (£950). You provide the venue, tea, coffee and lunch and advertise the course locally. You charge and collect the fee (we would insist it was kept within reason). This approach can produce very cost effective training; Or You offer your school/college/University as a venue. CLEAPSS advertises the course at about £125 per delegate. CLEAPSS does not pay a venue fee but you are entitled to up to 3 free places for your school or the cash equivalent. CLEAPSS will also pay up to £10 per person for tea, coffee and lunch. This approach minimises the outlay and administrative burden for the host school.
I can do
Around the world
I have carried out talks and workshops in Japan, Portugal, Spain, Qatar, Thailand, Brunei, Mexico, Kuwait, Singapore, Cyprus, Bermuda, Canada and the USA. Assistance with travel and/or accommodation is important. I bring the equipment but the host needs to provide the chemicals (transportation by plane is difficult) so I need a day in the lab to prepare.
To discuss this further, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

€11.2m to be spent on water services
Longford Co Council has finally been given the go-ahead to upgrade the regional water supply in the county, after many years in the pipeline.
The Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government, announced on Monday that it had given the local authority approval, under the Water Services Investment Programme 2010 – 2013 and in conjunction with the Longford Central Regional Water Supply Scheme to extend the scheme in Lanesboro and expand the Lough Forbes Water Treatment Plant at a total cost of just over €11m.
Longford/Westmeath Fine Gael TD, Deputy James Bannon said that works were "necessary". Cllr Mark Casey welcomed the "much-needed investment" for which he has been campaigning.
Labour TD, Deputy Willie Penrose added, "I am pleased that these projects have now gotten the go-ahead; the community in Lanesboro will be serviced with a good quality of water supply, which is a boost for the town".
According to the Department, the extension to the Lanesboro scheme will include the construction of a pumping station at Knockahaw Reservoir along with approximately 2km of new rising main, 4.4km of new watermain and 6.8km of trunk main.

For Immediate Release
Simsboro Aquifer Under Siege, Independents Pray for Abbott Intervention in Post-Harvey World
Bastrop, Texas, Thursday, October 5, 2017: Some would say only God and Mother Nature "own" the Simsboro -- humanity only stewards it. Residents of Bastrop, Lee, Milam and Burleson counties are looking to enlist Governor Greg Abbott's intervention in what they're calling a manmade disaster in the making – the draining of the very slow to recharge Simsboro Aquifer by San Antonio's Vista Ridge water project, aka "San Antone Hose". The "Hose" is a "mega-permit" in the Simsboro just 30 miles east of the Governor's residence, according to claims by the non-profit League of Independent Voters of Texas.
LIV Board member and Simsboro landowner, Michele Gangnes said, "On Tuesday night, in the tiny rural town of Milano, Texas, we witnessed their typical arrogance when the purveyors of Vista Ridge forgot who runs Texas. They insisted that the groundwater district -- Post Oak -- ignore the three state representatives, one state senator and one county judge who weighed in -- AND a veto by the Governor of Texas."
Linda Curtis of Independent Texans PAC and a new local Austin pac, IndyAustin, said, "In the post-Harvey world, anything could happen. Donald Trump himself just pulled the plug on public-private toll road deals! So who knows what Greg Abbott might do, if asked by his neighbors living in the Simsboro communities."
Details on the meeting in Milano are posted here.

Where are your products manufactured?
Our jewellery is manufactured in small factories in Thailand and Indonesia. We have carefully sourced responsible, reliable manufacturers, who ensure compliance with international legislation regarding product quality.
What materials are used to make your products?
All of our jewellery items are made from a minimum of 92.5% pure silver, alloyed with other metals, to make 925 Sterling Silver. Gold and rose gold pieces are made from 925 Sterling Silver with either 14 carat or 18 carat flash gold plating.
Are your pieces hallmarked?
Yes. All silver jewellery is stamped with the Sterling Silver Hallmark '925'.
- Pendants, stamped on the bale.
- Charms, stamped on the lobster
- Ear Studs, stamped on the butterflies
- Earrings, stamped on the hooks
- Necklaces and Bracelets, stamped on the lock
Nevertheless there are a few items that do not have the 925 stamp because they are too fragile or fine to allow for it. These items are still Sterling Silver 925.
Silver items weighing more than 7.78 grams are fully hallmarked as required by UK Law and feature five marks in total - Sponsor's mark, traditional fineness mark, millesimal fineness mark, assay office mark, and the date letter mark. You can find more information on UK Hallmarking here.
Does your jewellery contain nickel or lead?
No. Our 925 Sterling Silver Jewellery conforms to International, European and American legislation regarding lead, nickel and heavy metal content. Our manufacturers regularly test their goods to ensure compliance with these laws.
What is flash plating?
Flash gold plating is when jewellery is given a very thin coating of gold, just enough to give a colour and even finish. It is commonly used to plate costume jewellery. Our gold and rose gold pieces are flash plated in 14 or 18 carat gold.
What is E-coating?
E-coating, also known as electro-coating or electro deposition, is a method that uses an electrical current to coat the metal surface with an organic lacquer, covering every nook and cranny on the jewellery with an even and consistent protective coat. This coating protects the sterling silver from tarnishing for an extended period. E-coated jewellery has a warmer tone than rhodium-plated silver and lets the natural beauty of the sterling silver come through.
How can I care for my silver jewellery?
Taking care of your silver basically means avoiding any exposure of your silver to household chemicals when cleaning, with bleach or ammonia for example, or going to pool in chlorinated water. These substances might damage your silver.
How should I clean my silver jewellery?
This will surprise you, but the best way to maintain your silver jewellery is to wear it often. Humidity and storing the silver for any given length can lead to tarnishing. We recommend cleaning gently with a designated silver polishing cloth from time to time.
Where can I find your delivery and returns information?
You can find delivery and returns information by clicking on the 'delivery and returns' button in the footer menu.

The women in Helmut Newton's photos are often nude, but rarely vulnerable. Rather, they are powerful and strong, proud and unabashedly naked. Not to mention drop dead gorgeous. Perhaps it's because of Newton's obvious love for women and utter lack of pretense, but the models, actresses and heiresses who shed their outer garments seem quite comfortable with the photographer and his requests, which often pushed the boundaries of taste, decorum and expectation. Given the fact that many of these images appeared in the early 1960's in the pages of French and British Vogue, they were certainly shocking for their time. Now, many imitators later, we are not as shocked. In fact, the floodgates have been opened. In ads from Calvin Klein to Prada to Abercrombie, there are beautiful young people in provocative poses, in and out of expensive garments, making you feel like a voyeur for leafing through a magazine. Good taste be damned, anything goes. Whether you thank Newton, or curse him, he is probably responsible.
With its current Helmut Newton show, the Annenberg Space for Photography finally manages to solve one of the problems I have had with their photography exhibits: too many images. With big nudes and big women come big prints, and finally, here is a show you can absorb easily, without straining your neck to see the images high up on the walls near the ceiling, or leaving exhausted with the feeling that you have not seen everything because there was just too much to take in. Absorbing it is, mainly because the images are striking, beautifully composed and speak of another era and another world--one of wealth, privilege, and secrets. When Newton first made these images in the 60's and 70's, no one was doing this kind of work.
He made no apologies for exploring the dark and provocatively erotic side of glamour, sado-masochism, domination and dalliance, images that were inside his head, but, he insists, came straight from reality. In a fascinating and revealing film made by his wife June, playing on a continuous loop in the back auditorium, he says "Every picture is based on reality. It's all real, and happens every day...amongst the rich." He loved visiting Los Angeles and took up residence part of the year at the tony Chateau Marmont. He loved our sunny afternoons, and sought out rich and often famous women to be his subjects, willing partners in telling naughty stories with his camera.
According to one of his assistants, Mark Arbeit, one of three young Art Center photography students who accosted Newton during a trip he made to LA in the late 70's, and eventually began working with the master photographer, the usual rules of photography — avoid high noon, wait for early morning or late afternoon light — did not apply. Newton loved shooting in all kinds of light and when he did it wasn't with an entourage. No Annie Leibovitz army of assistants for him — it was just him and one assistant, one camera and very simple lighting. Locations were critical in his shoots, and could have been in a mansion, or a construction site. While he made his living as a photographer (and quite a good one, getting $10,000 for his commercial photo shoots), Newton was a storyteller, bon vivant, lover of women and life. He was high fashion's favorite bad boy but never lost sight of his mission: sell the clothes.
One of his models, whom he first approached on the street, was asked to work with him and told she would most likely end up nude. Partly due to the period, when women's lib was beginning, he found models who totally bought into his visual fantasies. His photography was a true collaboration between model, photographer and often, the photographer's wife June, whom he married in 1948. A self-portrait, with Newton amongst some nudes as his wife looks on (top), is one of my favorite photos, showing him shooting in what could be mistaken for a dirty old man's raincoat. In this exhibit, we all get to be willing partners in the not-so-secret and scandalous life of Helmut Newton and friends.
Helmut Newton: White Women • Sleepless Nights • Big Nudes at the Annenberg Space for Photography in Century City until Sept. 8.

4790 W. 16th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46222
(800) 822-4639 (317) 492-6700 Mon-Fri, 9a.m.-5p.m. ET
May 15, 2021
February 03, 2015 | By IMS
From an Opening Day featuring restyled race cars, the second annual Angie's List Grand Prix of Indianapolis, a practice session with after-hours running and the 99th Running of the Indianapolis 500 on May 24, the 2015 Month of May at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway will be full of action.
The stars of the Verizon IndyCar Series will take to the famed 2.5-mile oval for the first time on Sunday, May 3, for a test session featuring the highly anticipated debut of oval aero kits. Speeds on the oval are anticipated to be higher with the aero kits, which feature body work modifications that will bring renewed innovation and differentiate Chevrolet- and Honda-badged Dallara race cars for fans.
IMS will then take three days to transition from the oval configuration to the 2.434-mile, 14-turn road course for the second annual Angie's List Grand Prix of Indianapolis. The road course incorporates portions of Turns 1 and 2 and the front straightaway of the oval with the remainder of the circuit within the infield, allowing for great spectator viewing beginning with a free-admission practice day on Thursday, May 7, and qualification day on May 8. Simon Pagenaud will look to defend his title on Race Day on Saturday, May 9.
"Winning the inaugural Grand Prix of Indianapolis in 2014 was definitely one of the highlights of my career. It's a beautiful circuit and it represents a great way to kick off the on-track activities for the Month of May," said Pagenaud, of Team Penske. "The Verizon IndyCar Series is the most fan-friendly series in the world. To open up the practice on May 7 and the garage on May 8 – for free! – is an amazing treat for our fans. I hope many of them come out to see our new 2015 body kits and the high-speed racing that is sure to be thrilling."
On Monday, May 11, the oval will be host to eight consecutive days of on-track activity with a unique late afternoon/evening practice session from 4-7 p.m. in preparation for the Indianapolis 500. Practice sessions will be held from May 11-15, culminating with Fast Friday (May 15), followed by qualification weekend on May 16-17, including Old National Armed Forces Pole Day on Sunday, May 17. The next day, Monday, May 18, will feature the final full day of practice, which is always one of the busiest on the track.
"I am really excited for the month of May activities! Opening Day will be even more interesting this year with the introduction of aero kits, it will be the first time we get on track with them at IMS," said two-time pole winner Ed Carpenter of CFH Racing. "The qualifying format last year was a lot of fun, and I look forward to trying to be part of the action again, but more importantly I can't wait to get another chance to fulfill my dream of drinking milk!"
Fans can enjoy their own experiences on the oval on Wednesday, May 20, with the IMS Racing Experience and Fan Track Laps. Fans will be able to take Indy Racing Experience two-seat rides around the oval and drive their own cars on the track from 4-7 p.m., while many of the Verizon IndyCar Series drivers will go into the community visiting schools and participating in other outreach activities (more details to come at a later date).
On-track activity continues with a long-time Indianapolis Motor Speedway tradition and fan favorite – Coors Light Carb Day on Friday, May 22. In addition to the final Indianapolis 500 practice session, Carb Day will feature the Indy Lights Freedom 100 (practice and qualifying is on Thursday, May 21), TAG Heuer Pit Stop Challenge and Coors Light Carb Day Concert.
The eve of the Indianapolis 500, Saturday, May 23, features Legends Day Honoring Al Unser presented by Firestone, the traditional full-field autograph session, public drivers meeting and a Concert presented by Firestone, with the entertainers to be announced.
The 99th Running of the Indianapolis 500 will be contested on Sunday, May 24. Ryan Hunter-Reay is the defending champion. In the infield will be the Indy 500 Snake Pit presented by Miller Lite.
"Anticipation is already building and we are once again excited about our on track schedule as well as the other activities that will make this a special Month of May," said J. Douglas Boles, Indianapolis Motor Speedway president. "Starting with the debut of the aero kits on the oval, followed by the second running of the Angie's List Grand Prix of Indianapolis, the first week of activity will provide a perfect lead up to Indianapolis 500 practice, qualifying and the 99th Running of the Indianapolis 500. May can't get here fast enough!"

By Spencer Critchley, from the Salinas Californian: By now it's clear that the future of the economy is a sustainable one, as global investment trends attest. As the cost of cleaner technologies falls ever lower, sustainability is becoming a question not of limits, but of opportunities.
Imagine, then, the possibilities for a region that combined these assets: world-class academic and defense institutions, excellent infrastructure, a coastal California/Pacific Rim location, some of the most fertile land in the world, a culture of innovation, and a quality of life that attracts talent from all over the planet.
There is such a region: We live in it. The Central Coast is equipped to benefit mightily from the sustainable future if we recognize the opportunities.
There are already many hopeful signs. Santa Cruz is reinventing itself as a center of design and clean technology. In Salinas, city leaders have committed to an updated vision of the "green gold rush" that made Salinas a world agriculture capital. Many more examples could be cited.
Ironically, though, the sheer number of the sustainable initiatives under way could present an obstacle to their overall success. That's because of the risk presented by "silos" vertical
organizational structures that are not connected. Say a large company has brilliant talent in each of its divisions, but those divisions don't communicate well. That company has a silo problem.
On the Central Coast, we have many smart people working in various parts of the sustainable economy. But many of them are operating in silos. They are not nearly as inter-connected as they could be, and should be.
It was connectedness that led to the rise of Silicon Valley. No one could have planned exactly what happened there, nor should they even have tried. But Silicon Valley was positioned for success by the presence and connectedness of a great
university, defense installations, good infrastructure and a culture of innovation.
Sound familiar? Just as those elements made Silicon Valley fertile ground for innovation, so can they here especially since we have the advantage of still having a lot of actual, not just metaphorical, fertile ground! Given the rapidly growing value of the biotech, biofuels and sustainable agriculture sectors, our natural assets look all the better.
But we are behind the curve on connectedness. And it is to remedy that problem that Salinas Mayor Dennis Donohue and I started a group called Imagination Coast. It is designed not to be yet another sustainability organization, but to connect the existing ones.
To that end, Imagination Coast will hold the first in a series of "Future Camps" on Saturday at the Moss Landing Marine Lab. It will be a day of work by knowledgeable people on meeting the challenges of the sustainable future. We believe if all interested parties work together to achieve that goal, we will realize greater benefits than any of us could by working separately.
In the sustainable future, our economy will still have silos independence, after all, is also a source of innovation. But the silos will be connected.
Spencer Critchley is managing director of Boots Road Group LLC, a marketing and public relations firm.

In this piece we wrote on Thursday, January 24, "Fresh & Easy Locking-Up Leases for Northern California Invasion," we detailed what we have learned to date from our sources about the number of store site leases Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market has signed thus far in the Northern California region, where the retailer plans to start opening stores later this year.
We also discussed locations where Fresh & Easy representatives are negotiating for leases but haven't signed any to date, as far as we know. One of those Northern California cities we mentioned in the piece where Fresh & Easy representatives were looking hard to secure store locations is the capital city of Sacramento, and the surrounding metropolitan region.
We can report today that Tesco's Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market has applied with the state of California for liquor licenses for Fresh & Easy markets at four store locations in Sacramento. Two of the stores are in the city of Sacramento, the other two are in the nearby suburb of Folsom, which is right next to Sacramento.
The city of Sacramento locations named in the company's liquor license applications with the state are:
3311 Northgate Blvd.
3615 Bradshaw Road.
The Folsom store locations are:
25000 Blue Ravine Road.
9522 Greenback Lane.
This brings to nine the number of signed leases for stores to date we can confirm in Northern California. In addition to these four new locations in Sacramento, the other five stores are in the Bay Area: one store is in San Francisco, one in Oakland, one store in San Jose, one in Concord, and one store in Farfield.
Fresh & Easy is negotiating for additional store locations in San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose, and in dozens of other smaller cities nearby. Read our January 24 piece for more detail.
Analysis: The Sacramento metropolitan region food retailing market
Sacramento, which is located in the northern central valley of California, is about 90 minutes from San Francisco and the central city of a metropolitan region consisting of about 2.2 million people. The city of Sacramento's population is close to 500,000.
In terms of the food retailing market, local chain Raley's Superstores is the number one food dollar market share leader in the region. Raley's operates large Superstores under the Raley's banner, smaller but upscale stores under the Bel-Air name, and a few stores under the Nob Hill Foods banner in the region. Raley's, which operates stores primarily in Northern and Central California, and Nevada, has its corporate headquarters in nearby West Sacramento.
Raley's, Bel-Air and Nob Hill stores offer a full selection of basic grocery items. They also sell an extensive selection of specialty and natural/organic foods. Most of the grocer's Superstores, which average from 60,000 -to- 80,000 square feet, have large natural and organic foods store-within-a-store departments in them. In fact, Raley's is one of the pioneer's nationally in natural and organic product merchandising in the supermarket format in the U.S. A number of the Bel-Air and Nob Hill banner stores are smaller, ranging from about 35,000 -to- 45,000 square feet.
Safeway Stores also has a number of supermarkets in the Sacramento metropolitan region, as does Modesto, California-based Save Mart, which bought Albertsons' Northern California Division (over 200 stores) last year. Prior to acquiring the Albertsons' stores, Save Mart, who's corporate headquarters is located only 60 miles away in Modesto, didn't have any stores in Sacramento. With the Albertsons' acquisition, Save Mart doubled its size, and now operates nearly 300 stores in Northern California. It's the number two market share leader in the entire region, behind Bay Area-based Safeway Stores, Inc.
Trader Joe's also has a few stores in the Sacramento metropolitan region. TJ's is super-popular with area shoppers. Cost-Plus World Market, which is a national chain that's headquartered in nearby Oakland, has large specialty foods and beverage departments in its stores, and is very popular among area consumers. Costco Wholesale, it's stores packed with prepared, specialty and natural and organic foods in addition to everyday grocery staples and more, is wildly-popular in the region as well.
There also are numerous big box grocers in the region" Food Maxx, a division of Save Mart, Food-4-Less, a couple Wal-Mart Supercenters and a couple other independent warehouse-style stores, all do battle for the low-price customer in the area. Whole Foods Market, Inc. also has a large store in Sacramento. Further, there are numerous local, upscale multi-store and single-store independents in the region. Most prominent is Nugget Markets, which has about 10 stores in the region. Its stores are full-line, upscale grocery stores which offer lots of specialty, natural, organic and fresh prepared foods.
Fresh & Easy will find a competitive market in the Sacramento region; especially hometown grocer Raley's, which is one of the region's biggest supporters and boosters. Many people consider Raley's as "corporate citizen numer one" in Sacramento.
However, the region is a big automobile commuting area, and the small-format, convenient Fresh & Easy stores could prove popular with shoppers looking for an easier shopping experience than the big box and Superstores that tend to dominate Sacramento and the surrounding area.
However, there's also plenty of upscale competition (along with price-store competition), including Raley's, Bel-Air, Nob Hill, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Nugget Markets, World market and independents like the popular Corti Bros., Sacramento's first and longest-open upscale specialty grocery store.
With its basic grocery, low price focus, combined with its prepared and specialty foods semi-upscale focus, Fresh & Easy will need to convince Sacramento area shoppers it offers something they aren't currently getting from their numerous, mostly local-based, food retailers.
Although the region has over 2 million people, it's still "hometown" oriented. For example, even though Safeway Stores is headquartered less than 100 miles away in the Bay Area city of Pleasanton, its never been able to seriously compete with local grocer Raley's, do primarily to the fact that Sacramento-area shoppers are very hometown-guy loyal. To be successful in Sacramento, Fresh & Easy will not only have to execute well at retail, it also will have to get heavily involved in the community and show area residents it's not merely a "foreign" invader.


text: Our Vancouver BC motorcycle trip was so over-the-top spectacular; I don't know where to start, and I probably won't know where to end, so this will be part 1 of 2. We planned this to be different than any of our previous moto-vacations. First, instead of National Parks and thousands of miles riding, we are going to the city (Greater Vancouver is around 2.5 million). And, we're staying in one place for over a week! Then we'll ferry over to Victoria for a couple more days.

How GPS Can Help You To Make The Most Out Of Your Fleet Services?
If you are planning to get help for all your transportation needs from a professional fleet company, the you need to think twice before you make your decision. You will be transporting your valuable goods and you don't want them to go out of your sight even for a moment. This is what many fleet companies use GPS for their services. So, when you are selecting a company for this, check whether they too acquire this high-end technology for their customers. Here are some reasons why GPS will help you to achieve best transportation goals in your business.
Insurance costs are reduced
To cover up an accident, a lot of money is spent and the insurance as well. For large fleet companies, the money spent on insurance companies is a huge sum. But when they too opt for GPS tracking systems for their fleet vehicles, different insurance companies give them really good deals on their premiums. So, it's a good benefit for you too because when their insurance fee is reduced, the service costs will be reasonably low.
You can locate them anytime any place
The worst feeling is to be unused of your delivery on time and at the correct place. Plus, you will not know where they are or whether they have met with any problems. You get all your answers with the aid of GPS. The corporation will be monitoring all their fleet vehicles with the help of GPS and you can keep in touch with them to know where and what time you can expect your transported goods. Plus, if anything goes wrong, then too they will let you know about it. Once you know the time, you can schedule whatever the activities you have to do according to the expected time.
Safety comes first
How happy and satisfied will you feel once your goods have arrived safely to your company? That's immeasurable. If you want to experience that satisfaction and an on-time service, check for fleet management systems that has the facilities of GPS tracking. Even if the vehicle meets with any problems in at road or even if the vehicle breaks down, the corporation will be there to solve the problems in not time because they will be 24/7 monitoring the fleet vehicles.
Track the drivers
The drivers might want to stop somewhere and to take a few minute breaks because of the long drive. This is all tracked down by the corporation. The point is, every minute adds to your costs but these costs should be taken off from your bill. So, GPS will help you there, again when your drivers are taking too long routes, the corporation will advise them to take other short routes or spot any other upcoming short routes for the driver. This will help you to save money on fuel.

MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Mid 2009 Front Display Glass Replacement
I just replace the glass on my 13" MacBook Pro with badly broken glass screen.
The suction cup did not work because a) my screen was cracked badly and the cup would not hold suction, and b) the glue is too tenacious (even with heating) and over a large surface area to simply pull it away from the frame, especially if the glass is cracked.
I found a hairdryer on hottest setting, but lowest speed works best. It softens the glue enough to pry the glass away from the frame. I had to work around the perimeter using the Spudger tool and a small, flat-blade screw driver. I started prying at a cracked opening in my glass (it was really badly cracked - someone stepped on the computer when my daughter left it on the floor!). Need to be very carefull with using the screw driver - only pry along and parallel to the edge of the frame like using an ice scraper on a sidewalk. Don't pry on the rubber seal on the edge and stay away from the LCD.
I left the cracked glass in place until I cleared all of the glass along the perimeter- this allowed me to rest my hand on the screen without damaging/scratching the LCD underneath.
Be aware that the camera cable runs in a channel from the lens on top to the right corner, then down the right edge of the screen. The channel is in the center of the border, so it is ok to pry under the glass as close as you can get to the rubber seal on the edge, and also on the inside edge of the border, but take care not to pry into the LCD. The camera cable is wider and has connectors within 2 inches of the lens, so you really need to be careful with prying in this area. I saved the lens area for last. Started to the left of the lens and worked counterclockwise around the perimeter.
If you take your time, heat a small area, pry the glass away and continue around the perimeter, it will come out. Need to be patient and not get in a hurry.
When the glass is removed, take care to clean out the glass fragments, especially down between the edge of the LCD and the frame. I used a business card to slide in the gap and pull out pieces of glass. Then used small piece of packaging tape, tacky side out, to dab out the small pieces (don't put the tape on the LCD, just the frame border area). Overall, the instructions on this site are excellent - I had no trouble removing the screen from the base of the computer, and re-assembling with the pictures and the instructions.
One improvement would be to show better detail how to remove the screen power cable - the locking mechanism has to be rotated from flat position to about 90 degrees before pulling the connector. It was not obvious how to do this in the instructions - it is a U-shaped bar that connects on each side of the connector and runs around the stationary part of the socket. Simply lift it up before pulling the connector out. I pulled the connector without lifting this U-shaped arm first, and it fell off when I pulled the plug. I was able to put it back on to the connector without much trouble.
The connecters all went back in to place very well. The machine worked when I started it up after re-assembly. It works and looks great.
Thanks for the instructions!

Madonna plans live comeback with 2012 Olympics gig
Pop queen Madonna is planning to make a comeback to the music scene right in the middle of the London Olympics
Pop queen Madonna is planning to make a comeback to the music scene right in the middle of the London Olympics.
She plans to perform at Hyde Park before a crowd of 60,000 people in the middle of the schedule of the 2012 games to which London will play host.
"Madonna is planning a huge comeback and was determined to do it at Hyde Park while the Olympics are on," The Sun quoted a source as saying.
"She's been out of the limelight musically for a while but is ready to jump back into the saddle and thinks there's no better time to do it than when London hosts the Olympics," the source added.
That is not all, as there are rumours that she will perform at the Super Bowl in Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis next February.
She has also announced that she will be releasing her 12th studio album next spring, and it will be a follow up to her 2008 album 'Hard Candy'.

The Manor of Family and Private Life
Late 19th century
The Manor of Family and Private Life comprises four rooms, furnished and decorated for the modern family at the end of the 19th century. They focus on Count Jørgen Scheel, his wife Christiane Munk and their eight children. The home was the setting for the nuclear family – it was here that the deeply emotional family bonds between husband and wife, and between parents and children, were to be nourished, and the lady of the house was the loving centrepiece.
The four rooms comprise The Drawing Room, where the family could spend time together, The Bedroom, where the parents – unlike previously – now slept together, The Children's Room, which was close to the parents' bedroom, and The Butler's Gallery, which links the other three rooms.
The rooms are furnished and decorated with the late-Victorian era's soft furniture, velour tapestries, dark, heavy curtains and carpets in the same dark colours.

20 months since first opening its doors, Plas Heli, has lot to be proud of. From hosting International and National Sailing Events, to cultural and social events, Plas Heli is rapidly gaining a reputation as the go to place for Functions and Weddings in the area.
2017 promises to be no different, with many in-house events appealing to a wide audience already confirmed. The 2017 Llŷn Coastal Sportive, to be held on the 8th of April, has already well over 70 entrants, and online registration for the Pwllheli first ever Open Water Triathlon on the 2nd of July, also open. Both these events, have in the past been well-received, and this year is no exception, with local companies such as Harlech Foodservice, Jones o Gymru Crisps, Daffodil Foods and Spar Pwllheli already amongst those offering sponsorship support, of which we are very grateful.
In a bid to appeal to a wider audience, bringing Plas Heli into the community, our monthly Bingo nights and our support of charity events, are something that we are very proud to be involved in. Plas Heli, while a Sailing Academy, is so much more than that, and is a resource for the whole community.
Simon Dennis, Plas Heli CEO said, "We welcome any charity event to Plas Heli to use our facilities, which we feel offers ample room, for any event. With an onsite Bar and Restaurant, our team here at Plas Heli can meet your requirements for any event, whether big or small. From Weddings to Childrens Parties, and all functions in between, the warmest of welcomes expect you at Plas Heli" Nia Griffith, Marketing Officer added, "We are also keen to hold more cultural events at Plas Heli, and as part of our St Davids Day celebrations recently held an evening of Welsh Poetry with Ifor ap Glyn, and an evening of Welsh Comedy with Dilwyn Morgan."
One of Plas Heli's developmental objectives over the coming months, is to strengthen links with local business in the town, so that the economic benefit of events held at Plas Heli, can be felt more widely across the whole Peninsula and Gwynedd. As well as the economic benefits, Plas Heli are keen to establish a strongly rooted community network, working with community groups, charities and individuals within the locality, to help us to develop Plas Heli to its full potential. In order to achieve this, open days will be held, as will consultation meetings, with an open invitation for all to attend.
Nia Griffith states, "We are aware that Plas Heli has not yet been formally opened, and the public invited to see the whole building. To rectify this, we will celebrate our second birthday with a festival, including local bands, cooking demonstrations, outdoor activity taster sessions and a day for the whole community to enjoy. As well as being an opportunity to celebrate all that's been achieved over the last two years, it will also be an opportunity for us to confidently step to the future, and we look forward to sharing that journey with the whole community."

See Banky W's Reaction When Ebuka Referred To His Wife As "Mrs Etomi" Instead Of "Mrs Willington" - Video
Former Big Brother Africa Housemate and the last concluded Big Brother Nigeria host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu is trending this days on everything and everywhere he goes. The On Air personality was trending on socials a week ago over his fashion style to Banky W and Adesua traditional wedding held in Lagos.
Though he didn't trend so much on fashion at Banky's white wedding in South African but the OAP is trending on another topic altogether. He is making his mark everywhere he goes. This time, he has social media talking about him again in course of BAAD 2017 after he, who was the anchor of their white wedding in Cape Twon, made a slip in calling Adesua, 'Mrs Etomi' instead of 'Mrs Wellington'.
People though said he jokingly did that and wanted the controversy while others thought he made a mistake there. Regardless of what one thinks, the purpose has been fulfilled "trending and publicity". And in PR, they say no such think as good or bad publicity.. Is publicity simply.

All papers are checked via
Many students seek professional assistance from literature review writing center, so today we would like to do more for every person coming across this page and provide them not with an advertisement of our services, but helpful advice on literature review writing.
Let us begin with a literature review definition. It is a product of a complex analysis of the given (or found) scholarly sources on a specific topic, as well a synthesis of main ideas they cover. Sometimes, students feel confused, trying to spot the difference between a literature review and a research paper. While research should present a unique and valid argument supporting specific ideas, literature review focuses more on existing pool of articles, books and academic sources of knowledge.
Generally, a literature review can be assigned as a part of the course study or can be a chapter of dissertation or thesis. In simple terms, literature review should:
If the literature review is being a chapter of a dissertation or any other postgraduate work, it also presents the ground for further research.
If you would like to prepare a profound literature review, you need to consider the following aspects:
If we were asked, what is the best way to process all the materials, we would recommend approaching them separately. Read and evaluate each source, make notes, reference, and once you are done with all of them – look for the common ground to group them properly.
Here is the list of questions one can use while assessing every literary source:
Once you have analyzed all the sources, have a look at the results and ask yourself:
Depending on the type of work (whether this is independent writing piece or part of the dissertation) as well as academic level (the overall length will vary for University and Ph.D. level), the length would vary from 1500 to 3000 words. If one is planning to place an order at BestWritingService.ae, we would like to remind that one page equals 300 words.
If one is looking for assistance from a professional literature review writing center, they are clearly right! First of all, asking an expert to prepare a literature review on your behalf allows you to save time, if not to say weeks of research. Second, a successful literature review is like a nice canvas for your picture that allows you to present your research properly and tastefully. Having an expert by your side, allows you to gain more confidence and focus more on the work that needs to be done, rather than some boring review of previously written books.
If you are looking for a place to purchase literature review from, let us explain why BestWritingService.ae is your best option. When one is seeking professional assistance, they should be clear about terms a reliable company operates on.
Having a reputation to uphold, BestWritingService.ae offers the best literature review writing help you can find! If you place an order right now, you will get:
Being a widely-known literature review writing center, we did our best to achieve the balance that allows us to deliver superb services that do not come with a heavy price tag. So stop wasting your time trying to do everything on your own or looking for any other companies out there. If you have any questions regarding our services, have a look at our FAQ section or simply contact our Support Team representatives that will gladly assist you in any matters.
So students come to us to get literature review example. Here are few samples of the work we prepared on behalf of our clients. Remember, these samples shall not be used as actual assignments under no circumstances.

Kylie Jenner's Latest Photo of Baby Stormi Sleeping Might Be the Cutest Yet
Like many new moms, Kylie Jenner can't get enough of taking pictures of her daughter, Stormi Webster. Since giving birth to her now one-month-old baby girl, the Kylie Cosmetics founder has shared several photos of her on both Instagram and Snapchat, and each one is more adorable than the last.
On Wednesday, she was back at it again, posting a baby Stormi update on her Snapchat. In the photo, Jenner captured her daughter snoozing soundly bundled up in a sweet pink hooded onesie. Is there anything cuter than a sleeping baby in a cute outfit?
Kylie definitely doesn't think so because this is at leas third sleeping Stormi photo she's posted. Last week, she posted a photo and a video of her "angel" snoozing.
Jenner shared the first photo of her daughter on Feb. 6, just a few days after her birth, but it was radio silence for a few weeks until Stormi appeared on social media once more. In addition to her big introduction Instagram post, she recently shared a photo of Stormi with her grandmother Mary Jo, as well as two mother-daughter photos.

As we ran over for "Matches" on Saturday we saw a familiar Ambulance car outside the School gate with khaki coats and blue legs coming out of it, and there were more khaki overcoats and blue legs coming up Milford Hill too, some on crutches, some with their arms bound up. We knew why they were coming, for hadn't we spent three desperate breaks and half-an-hour on Saturday morning practicing songs, and trying to make our umph, umph, umphs, and wee, wee, wees pig-like! By 1.45 we were gathered into two masses, one red one white at each goal on pitch 1, shooting, running, wriggling, and on looking round towards the bank we saw the soldiers, they were going to watch the match! Before long they had all decided what side to back, or rather what colour, for they dubbed us the " Reds," and the "Whites." Yells came from the bank of "Go it the reds," "That's it, that's it, pass it to the Picaninny, run Picaninny, run. Ah that big white one is too much for her." And I heard the familiar burr of a Scottie, "Go it the forwards." They watched eagerly the whole time, and I believe they enjoyed the match quite as much as we did, and that's saying a lot. After the match was over they went into a much transformed Hall. There were flags everywhere, flags festooned from the gallery, flags from the windows, flags under the platform, and a huge laurel wreath in the midst. It was a gay sight, the flags in their brave colours, the men in their hospital uniform (the uniform we all love, respect and would do anything to serve). And gay smoke wreaths from their cigarettes. Then the concert began. Old Girls, mistresses and present girls and one of our wounded guests performed. We all enjoyed Mrs. Leys' singing immensely. Miss Foley and Miss Baker gave us delightful violin solos. Miss Atkinson, Miss Foley and Miss Lavender played several beautiful trios. Last term's Special Singing Class sang several Shakespeare songs, and some middle-sized people amused us with the quaint Alfred Scott Gatty songs of our nursery days, always ending with a moral! But the songs we enjoyed the most were sting by our guest. We ended the concert with hearty cheers for the King, Queen, and all the Royal Family; the Navy and the Army; the Tanks (a happy thought just after a great Tank victory), and our Guests. After three verses of "God Save the King," the men made their way to the dining-room and School House sitting-room and St. Margaret's for their tea. We hung eagerly over the gallery to see them, and felt a thrill of pride for Britain.
The following is a letter written by one of the men from the Red Cross Hospital
Red X Hospital, Salisbury,
On behalf of the boys of this hospital, we wish to thank you for the splendid concert and tea which you gave to us last Saturday. The boys wished to be remembered to you and to thank all those who were concerned in enabling us to enjoy ourselves, thanking you once again,
I remain,
Yours truly,
For the boys of the hospital.

Hello fellow beauty blogger and readers,
I posted a blog post yesterday on this Quick & Easy Makeup Routine look and thought why not film a video for it as I felt confident enough to film a video and to share it on my blog.
Here's my Quick & Easy Everyday Makeup Tutorial
I forgot to bring my tripod home from university so my blog has been a little video-less for the past few months. I love making little videos for my blog as I love to film and edit them. I'm no make-up and beauty expert and I am probably doing some things wrong in this video but I enjoyed filming this look and this is how I apply my makeup everyday. So I thought I would share it with you all after this look got a lot of likes.
I'm slowly getting more confident about posting my face all over my blog and I want to do more videos just bare with me as it is quite nerve racking!
Thank you for reading,
Katie x
Feel free to follow me on

Home to the Slow Food Movement, Harvest reconnects you to the love of the dining experience, with a passion for local sustainability.
Love. You won't find it on any spice rack, but you can always taste its presence.
In recent years, food made with love has become a rarity, replaced by menus that are standardized and homogenized, leaving little room for regional or seasonal variation. Worse yet, we've left little room for passion or creativity in the kitchen.
Luckily, the Slow Food Movement is changing that. As the name implies, Slow Food is the antithesis of fast food. Instead of centralized production and corporate farming, the Slow Food philosophy promotes the enjoyment of foods that are locally-produced and sustainably-grown, seeking to reestablish the bonds between farmer and chef, between chef and food, and between food and heart.
These principles are embodied by the menu of Harvest, a local gem situated on the Capitol Square. This is not merely coincidence – the Madison chapter of the Slow Food Movement was founded by Harvest's owner, restaurateur Tami Lax.
Here, artisan-crafted ingredients and heirloom-variety vegetables take center stage on the ever-changing, seasonal menu. Dishes are painstakingly but simply crafted to allow each flavor to shine, using time-honored cooking methods and ingredients with a modern twist.
Following the precedent set by its menu, the setting and service at Harvest are impeccable: simple and elegant, forward-thinking with a reverence for tradition. An amuse-bouche–a few bites designed to whet the appetite for what follows and presented as a gift from the chef–greets each guest upon seating, evoking a sense of occasion.
And an occasion it is sure to be. Reading through the menu is likely to introduce you to ingredients you haven't heard of before, or pairings of flavors you've never imagined. Don't be shy; ask the well-informed staff about a new flavor or ingredient that catches your fancy! After all, the Slow Food Movement is ultimately about education – reintroducing the world to forgotten ingredients and traditional methods, as well as simply informing diners of their meals' origins.
Whatever you try, you can be assured that your meal was a labor of love from start to finish. From farm to table, Harvest is serving up a dedication to quality and a passion for flavor.
