Our school enjoys the participation and is very competitive in most of the major sports. We subscribe to the notion of 'healthy mind, healthy body' and we believe that we have a moral obligation to keep our boys as busy and fit as possible. Sport is compulsory in our school and we expect each boy to participate in a minimum of one sport each season. Those who wish to, can play as many sports as they like and this results in some of those boys being involved in sport six days of the week. The one proviso we link to this is that a boy's academic performance is not compromised from too much involvement!
Our emphasis in the Prep is one of participation and we do not subscribe to the 'win at all costs' philosophy although with the depth of participation, we regard ourselves as a successful sporting school.
There is a shorter season of Athletics in March. Our boys participate in all the traditional track and field events and the standard is pleasingly high. We have won two Prestige Athletics Championships involving the top Boys Independent Schools. We offer two athletics teams in order to accommodate as many boys in the activities as possible. We also train our boys for a season of cross country running in July.
This is another major sport in our school with a large number of boys involved. We have two cricket fields and 18 nets. We enjoy the year long services of a professional who assists boys who wish to uplift their personal standard through extra practices. There is no charge for this during school normal school hours. The standard of cricket is high and we enjoy a decent level of representation in the Area and Zone teams.
Cross Country
A season of Cross Country running takes place in the winter term. The boys train during physical education lessons and are involved in events at various schools. Not all schools have a campus large enough to facilitate such an event but we are blessed with being able to provide the boys with quite a challenging course. Our inter-house cross country is held at the end of 2nd term in July/August.
Without any doubt, football is the most popular sport in the Prep School. Our compulsory sport policy results in arguably the largest number of teams being accommodated by any school in Johannesburg. In the Open age group - we go down as far as the 15th team. The standard of football is very high with our teams winning up to 75% of their matches.
Another new sport for the Prep school, hockey has become very popular since the construction of our new Astro field. Since the addition of a top class Astro field, the interest in hockey has increased dramatically. The College First Team won the Aitken Trophy 2014.
The Prep school has enjoyed an enviable swimming record over the past eleven years with the 'A' team having remained undefeated over this time. Our school was the first to offer three swimming teams in order to give as many boys as possible the opportunity to represent their school. Each year we have boys selected to Area and Provincial swimming teams. In 2009 we had no fewer than 9 boys at this level of representation. Our school has won the unofficial Boys Independent Schools Championship for the past ten years. Our swimming teams train hard under the guidance of our coaches and their level of fitness is always pleasing.
Tennis has become a popular sport at our school with well over 150 boys playing regularly supervised by a professional coach. All Grade 4 and 5 boys are eligible to compete for a place in a junior team who participate in a Tuesday afternoon league. Four senior teams comprising of the top 24 boys on the ladder participate on a Thursday afternoon league which runs throughout the year. Our 8 tennis courts and 4 mini tennis courts ensure that all boys have a chance to participate during practice sessions.
This is a fairly new innovation in ISASA schools. In 2006, the inaugural season proved to be tremendously popular and the boys soon developed polished skills. It is felt that playing rugby at this level is ideal training for the game they will play in high schools whilst reducing the level of injuries. Rugby is optional for Grade 0's who practice their sckills every Monday.
In preparation for high school, we introduce waterpolo in the Grade 5 year. The boys soon gain the requisite skills and by the end of the year are competent players. The benefits accrued as they enter the high school have been marked with the standard of waterpolo increasing each successive year.
Canoeing has become very popular at St David's over the past few years. We train at Dabulamanzi Canoe Club on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon. Canoeing is no longer regarded as a fringe sport but rather a major sport. Loveday Zondi is our full time coach, Serena MacPherson and T Harris run the prep school squad while Tara Jones runs the high school squad. We take part in the Gauteng Schools' league races and are currently the Gauteng champions. This year we won the South African Schools' Sprint Championships for Preparatory Schools for the 5th consecutive year.

The quality of the print was fine, however there was a white rim around the print that I had to cut off which was annoying. I ordered the size I wanted and it came with a 1-2 inch rim around it which was not disclaimed when I ordered it only after the purchase was that disclaimed.

I had bought the original Nighthawks and then realized there were some great homages out there including the one I purchased, Night Owls. One of the others, is a COVID Nighthawks from The New Yorker. The other is a Dr Seuss Nighthawks, artist unknown. I am very happy with my purchase.

Writing Coach/ Author/ Educator
As an award-winning educator and author, writing and teaching are my top passions. I've combined the two professions to coach students as they craft the most important and influential essays of their lives: college admission essays and college scholarship essays.
Storytelling is an intimate endeavor—the blending of voice, style, and life experiences— in which to share the writer's innermost thoughts, grievances, dalliances, heartaches, and triumphs with the reader. I delight in entertaining and enlightening my audience with each essay I write, and I find pleasure in assisting students in crafting their personal narratives, providing them an edge when it comes to college acceptances and scholarship awards. Everyone has a story to tell, but it's the delivery that makes a difference in how the story is received by the reader.
With help from Top College Essays, you will tell your story . . . better.
I live what I teach and teach what I live, so you can find my essays published in the following anthologies:

Infertility Treatment May Worsen Gum Disease
There's a link between gum disease, infertility drugs, and estrogen dominance, which is very common in women with PCOS
Research presented at a recent American Academy of Periodontology conference shows gum disease is linked to women who use infertility treatments.
The study said women undergoing infertility treatment for more than three menstrual cycles experience increased inflammation and bleeding of the gums. These women also have increased levels of gingival crevicular fluid, which contains tissue breakdown products that may be markers for the progression of gum disease.
These effects presumably occur because these agents increase body levels of estrogen, lead author Dr. Cenk M. Haytac, from Cukurova University in Adana, Turkey, said in a statement. The gums are a target for estrogen since they contain estrogen receptors.
Several studies show evidence that gum infections are associated with unsuccessful embryo development or the failure of in vitro fertilization.
Gum diseases are risk factors for several conditions, including low birth weight.
Treatment of gum disorders might influence the outcome of infertility treatment, the researchers suggest, but this remains speculative. "It is reasonable to assume that if low levels of plaque are established and maintained during the infertility treatment, gingival inflammation would not affect the success of infertility treatment," said Dr. Michael P. Rethman, president of the AAP. "This would require meticulous oral hygiene and routine professional cleanings, perhaps at the beginning of each menstrual cycle to ensure the presence of healthy gums."

Sewerage school to remain open
AN IPSWICH school without mains water, power or a sewerage system will remain open with strict timelines to complete works.
Representatives from Staines Memorial College were criticised after opening their school to nearly 197 students without town planning approval and lacking basic utilities.
All but two of the seven buildings at the Redbank Plains college lack town planning approval and the nearest bitumen road is 1.5km away
Water is being trucked onto the site, and sewage removed by tanker twice a week outside school hours. Emergency generators are supplying power.
Ipswich City Councillor Paul Tully said after a meeting with school authorities on Wednesday, the college could remain open, subject to strict timelines to complete work on the provision of basic services.
"They've undertaken to have the sewer connected within two weeks," Mr Tully said.
"They've undertaken to comply with all other requirements such as the water and the road, within a strict timeframe, but approximately six months.
"They're going to get applications in place for the temporary water supply and the building approvals."
The school will also provide a drop-off area for parents at a churchyard on a nearby bitumen road, from where the students will be taken by bus to the college.
"It's not an entirely satisfactory solution, but the school will continue to operate subject to very strict timelines," Cr Tully said.
He said the council was reluctant to close the college.
"Legal action was a possibility, but now the school has shown its willingness to comply with all council conditions, we won't be going down that track," Cr Tully said.
Opposition education spokesman Bruce Flegg said the State Government had a responsibility to ensure basic services were in place before students attended the college.
He said the college applied for independent schools registration and was given approval for an intake of 180 students from February 1.
"This is, in fact, a state government-approved independent school," Dr Flegg said.
"You've got ask yourself what on earth they are thinking - approving a school to open without ensuring it has sewerage, water, electricity and council approval, and a suitable access road.
"What's the point of having an accreditation process if in fact there's no rigour at all in the application of criteria?"
Earlier this week, Cr Tully said the school had thumbed its nose at the council.
"Water tankers and sewerage tankers running up and down a dirt road outside the school are of great concern regarding the health and well-being of the 197 students at the school," he said.
The school, which offers Christian-based education, is named after missionary Grahame Staines who was burnt to death, with his young sons Philip and Timothy, by a mob in India in 1998.

That was not true. I love everyone who told me it was awesome, but that was totally a romance.
Below: my defense of A Civil Contract as not just romance but Romance, and an awesome goddamn Romance. With farming!
(I have feelings, okay? Paragraphs of them. PARAGRAPHS. With citations! Because...Wednesday?)
Okay, I do get why that denial kept coming up in reviews, actually; it wasn't traditional, classic, or even contemporary. However, I come from a heavy Loretta Chase background where my favorite of her novels was very much first loves are not better or stronger than second (just different), so I get my reading was way different from the get-go (I prepared for vague bittersweetness). I also come from fandom, which can be surprisingly good at first and second loves when they want to be (which is more than I can say for the entire Romance genre who even when trying rarely if ever hits it right).
The Defense
I love romance that results from ridic amounts of compatibility, where the slow burn isn't people who fight then realize they're in love (though I love that, too), but the slow burn of people who discover in each other the perfect partner (and Adam and Jenny were literally MFEO, it's unreal) that unfolds in stages where you can actually see the pieces click one by one. This whole book was catnip to me in that; Jenny's housewife competence (I love competence like whoa), their adaptability to what makes them different, the way they slowly fit around each other in what they want to become, the way Adam adapts to her father, which was as much for Jenny's sake as the dad being awesome (and vulgar, fine) and shows very clearly Adam's changing as well.
Sense of Humor
(Also, well-known fact: the first stage of a good romance is when they can laugh together. Early on, Adam finds Jenny hilarious and Jenny's admittedly dry sense of humor slowly coming out as she gets more secure only adds to it. They have their own jokes. Adam's got a great sense of humor! He can laugh at anything, including himself, but note, we never see him laugh with or at Julia. Julia has no sense of humor; she has a sense of drama. These things do not go together, ever.
The Greek Chorus
Half the supporting characters (including relatives!) made it clear there was a strong awareness that Adam and Julia were not compatible at all. Many note how well Adam and Jenny get along together.
Adam: "Good God, I never was [unluckiest fellow of Brough's acquaintance]! They used to say of me that I'd as many lucky escapes as Harry Smith!"
"Shouldn't be at all surprised: I've seen one of 'em mylsef,' Brough said cryptically [...], A Civil Contract, page 410
Yes indeed, he was talking about the lovely Julia, not being an admirer of hers and having spent the former evening with her drama. BOOM BROUGH (SAY BRO???? YES I THINK SO!) IS ALL "CLOSE ESCAPE THERE THANK GOD".
Rockhill, Julia's husband: "Dear Lady Lynton, I assure you it couldn't have been better! Do you know, I fancy we have nothing more to worry us? Goodbye -- and a thousand thanks!", A Civil Contract, page 418
The Goal Here
This book was all about building the foundation for a great romance, and the end of the book confirmed they were actually just starting one after over a year of marriage and a kid. For Adam, at least, that couldn't happen until he'd moved on from Julia, which yes indeed seemed to take a book because Adam kept forgetting about her.
Let's be serious here: for a Deathless Romance, Adam had to regularly be reminded of Julia's existence to angst, and sure, he angsted pretty and all, but dude, if you keep forgetting your lost love unless she's either under your goddamn nose looking hot, marrying someone else, or when you're wife's not pregnant and you're so worried you're consulting Julia's mother, or you just made a lot of money and Napoleon's defeated, or something involving farming shows up, or you see your wife with random peacocks and forget allll your angst...just saying.
(Guy's barely interested in his newborn son: ALL ABOUT JENNY, Mom has to be like "KID HERE" and he's like, yep, that's certainly a kid, how interesting, now let's talk about Jenny, mmmkay?)
Let's Make a List of Things More Important than Julia Angst
1.) Jenny's feelings (okay, yes, she's his wife and he's a gentleman, fine)
2.) Saving his home and fortune (he's a responsible gentleman, fine, so sacrifice)
3.) Jenny's hilarious bathtub (okay, that did come out of nowhere so funny, I'll give him that one.)
4.) Julia fainting or throwing a scene at his and Jenny's dinner party aka How to Desensitize The Dramatic Lost Love Thing. (Oh lost love, so painful...please for fuck's sake don't faint, it's so socially embarrassing at a party. Oh Jenny, how could you do this to us...wow, you're becoming a great hostess, go you!) (Yeah, he's...kind of being inconsistent there.)
5.) Finding out Jenny is pregnant. (Oh lost love our tragedy you will marry soemoen else no!!!!!!!!! Hold up, Jenny looks sick brb) (...an heir, I guess?)
6.) Jenny being pregnant and ill. (Oh hi lost love, nice to see you. Hey, Mom of lost love what should I do to help my pregnant wife again?)(...right.)
7.) Farming (Lost love let us walk together in the portrait gallery and end up outside while I talk to someone about farming and forget you are there!) (...I'm sure that happens with true love all the time.)
8.) Sees wife confronting random peacocks. (Yeah, I got nothing.)
10.) Making fortune all on own! (fine, that might be natural)
11.) Thinking how Julia's kind of a stranger and maybe selfish regarding her stepkids. (Yep.)
12.) Napoleon's defeat! (Still, yes, natural.)
13.) Breakfast (...doesn't want to really discuss lost love because...hungry? Seriously?)
14.) Jenny's jokes about Lambert. (...you need me to keep going?)
Frederica Is My Interpreter of Love, So There
I have read the entire Georgette Heyer Catalogue available on ebook, and I just read Frederica, and ask me--GO AHEAD ASK ME--what Frederica (aka Georgette Heyer) defined as love? I'll tell you.
(Just as soon as my online Amazon kindle cloud reader opens.)
(WTF Amazon just open already.)
(Okay, trying in Chrome now. BOOM GOT IT.)
Frederica: "...But I am not blind to your faults, and I do not think that everything you do or say is right! Only -- Is it [love] being -- not very comfortable -- and cross -- and not quite happy, when you aren't there?"
"That, my darling," said his lordship, taking her ruthlessly into his arms, "is exactly what it is!" Frederica, page 434
But Jenny Said at the End...
I love Jenny, but she is about as objective as a loaf of bread when it comes to Adam because she's desperately in love and can't imagine she's ever competition for Julia; she's used to being second choice due to money; of course she's not going to believe yet. Adam spends a paragraph doign the equivalent of 'eh' regarding marriage to Julia and he's willing to talk about Julia to her.
Adam and Jenny by the end are just starting to redefine romance for themselves. They don't call it that--Jenny's too practical to realize what this is, and Adam's only just learning what's happened to them, and the words for both of them aren't there--but think of it this way. This isn't fireworks, there and gone. This is a bonfire; they start slow, but you build your fire on a strong foundation and set the pieces right, once it catches, it can burn forever if you give it enough fuel, and their lives are the fuel that will never run out.
Their bonfire has just begun.
My Final Thoughts on the Subject
Sorry, I think the bonfire metaphor kicked so much ass I need no more here. Bonfire, people. My work here is done.
I am willing to take contrary arguments, but they're wrong, telling you right now. Romance, people. All the romance. With farming!
(Also, note: this entire plot was used by another author in To Catch an Earl by Rosina Pyatt, and when I say plot, I mean Harlequin version. If you've read it, compare and contrast to A Civil Contract; it's kind of hilarious, though yeah, it goes Harlequin very quickly, it still sticks to the outline (the differences are very, very Harlequin-additions). Like a lot.)

Follow the draft live with analysis on every pick and trade: Draft Day Instant Analysis
Atlanta Promise with Dario Saric at 15
As we mentioned in our Extended Mock 7.0 yesterday, sources have indicated that the Hawks have a promise in place with Dario Saric at 15. Saric signed a deal with Anadolu Efes which will keep him over in Europe until 2016. The Hawks are using the Spurs as a model, with former Spurs scout Danny Ferry making decisions, and Saric is seen as a player with similar versatility as Boris Diaw. Atlanta is building for the future, having taken Bebe Nogueira last year. Saric was seen as a lottery level talent, but the contract he signed means there's a good chance he slips out of the lottery and to Atlanta. Saric came over to the US and Atlanta was reportedly the only team that he worked out for.
Sixers to Acquire Top Pick?
We've learned that there is a good chance Philadelphia moves their 3rd pick fueling speculation that they may have offered enough to acquire the top pick, possibly giving up 3 and 10 and Thad Young with an eye on grabbing Andrew Wiggins at 1. The Cavs would most likely take Joel Embiid at 3 and add some pieces, potentially targeting Doug McDermott at 10 or an upside player like Zach LaVine. The Sixers wouldn't mind moving Thad Young's contract as he is due roughly 10 million per year for the next two seasons. In targeting Embiid at 3, the Cavs would also leave the option of making a pitch for LeBron with the nucleus of Kyrie and Embiid around him.
Jordan Adams Promise in Early 20s
We believe the promise to be in the 23 to 24 range. It is likely Utah at 23 but could possibly be with Charlotte at 24. Jordan Adams did not test well at the combine, but that doesn't seem to be swaying teams as he's a player that you cannot leave open and is also a surprising defender, despite his athletic limitations.
Bogdan Bogdanovic Late First Round Promise
The promise is likely with San Antonio at 30 or possibly Oklahoma City at 29. Bogdan Bogdanovic is a mature player that fits into both teams tendency of drafting overseas players and leaving them overseas for a few seasons. Bogdanovic is 1992 born and therefore auto-draft eligible and could be one of the more ready to go players in the draft, as he's already one of the main contributors to his Serbian team.
Jarnell Stokes Interest
There are rumors floating around that Jarnell Stokes has a promise in the first round. Memphis is said to be interested, although 22 seems to be high for him. He measured very well at 6'8 with a 7'1 wingspan at the combine, but most scouts we speak to have him outside the top 30. Memphis would also like to unload Tayshaun Prince's contract and make a push to sign Mike Miller.

Do you love a good Netflix TV show binge? So do I. over Christmas I have had a lot of time on my hands so decided to take the plunge and indulge in some TV shows.
Mostly what I've been watching is crime/murder related (promise I am not a serial killer or anything) but all of the below have had me hooked.
Take a read of the shows that I think you must watch on Netflix…
Peaky Blinders
Peaky Blinders is a classic. It is about a gang in Birmingham in the 1920's who are about making a lot of money. Everything about the show is amazing. It is one of those really well made BBC dramas, that's when you know you cannot go wrong. It follows the life of the Shelby family, family focusing on Thomas, and their experiences in money making. Series 1-3 are on Netflix but the rest are on BBC iPlayer if you become and addict like myself.
13 Reasons Why
This series has some very serious underlying messages but it is extremely eye opening. It shows 13 Reasons why teenager Hannah Baker committed suicide. Each tape is about someone who pushed her to take her own life, suggesting that we should think before we act or speak because we do not know what someone is going through.
Orphan Black
Orphan Black is a n incredibly well-made show that discusses the idea of clones. It is incredibly well made with one actress portraying all of the different clones that are featured. Sarah tries to save her own life as well as those of her sisters (/clones?). Very confusing but worth the watch.
Fresh Meat
Now for something a little less murder/death related. Fresh Meat is about one university students being forced to live together and what they get up too. Some elements are so realistic having been in this position myself which make it ten times funnier. Certainly one to watch and relate too if you're at uni yourself.
Bates Motel
Ok straight up, Bates Motel is weird and messed up. It follows the story of the Bates family and how Norman has psychological issues and ends up becoming a serial killer. If you're into your American dramas then this is one to watch.
The Killing
A murder is told through Sarah, a police detective's, eyes as she discovers how it took place and what happened. There are a few series and each one focuses on a new murder storyline. I love a police investigation drama and found The Killing very gripping.
The End of the F**king World
I've just finished this series and I finished it within 2 days. It is ideal if you have a short attention span as each episode is no longer than 20 minutes, plus there is only 8 of them. The storyline is about two kids that go on the run and get themselves into trouble along the way. I have been seeing everybody's comments on social media about the ending and I can totally agree there needs to be a season 2!

B.B. Cream Beauty BzzAgent Drugstore Garnier Haul Makeup review Skin Renew Swatches
Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector B.B. CreamApril 09, 2013
I received the Garnier Skin Renew Oil Free B.B. Cream from BzzAgent.com for review. Let me just give you some quick product info : ...
I received the Garnier Skin Renew Oil Free B.B. Cream from BzzAgent.com for review.
Let me just give you some quick product info:
This contains 2.0 oz.
It retails for $12.99
- Is non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic: it won't clog pores or cause breakouts
- Is formulated with sheer natural mineral pigments, so you'll get a natural matte finish with each use
- Features an ultra absorbent formula and contains mineral Perlite, which retains twice its weight in oil and water
- Is oil-free, non-greasy
- Contains SPF 20
And this is the claim:
Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector Oil-Free B.B. Cream is a new multi-faceted solution for a multitude of skin concerns. If you have oily skin, then you probably have a product to treat shine, and to minimize pores, and to cover blemishes. And maybe a few more products, too. Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector Oil-Free B.B. Cream can address all those oily-skin needs with just one application. Your skin will have a flawless, lightweight matte finish, and you'll only need one product to get it.
Now, time for the review.
The shade I chose was Medium/Deep which, surprisingly, was too light for me.
When I first opened the tube, I got a huge surprise. That surprise was a mess. It's so thin and liquid-y that it constantly spills from the tube.
It's in a squeeze tube, but you don't have to squeeze it to get product out.
I have yet to find a way to get it out of the tube without making a mess. It leaks all over the place.
Maybe this is my fault somehow, but I don't think I'm completely impaired. Haha.
You can even see in the picture above how messy it looks, and you can see it all over the tip of the tube and in the lid.
Here it is running down my hand.
It's really quite thin, which can be a good thing and a bad thing.
Here it is semi-blended. You can see that it's too light for me, but I've been using it anyway, trying to test it out.
So, yes, it's messy, but does it work?
This is another love/hate product, and if I had the correct shade, maybe I'd be able to give a better review.
As far as coverage, it covers pretty well. It evens my skin tone, covers redness, blurs pores, etc. It truly has great coverage, which surprised me considering its consistency.
That being said, I was also surprised in that it seems to sit on the skin for quite some time before sinking in. It makes me look like I'm wearing a mask, but I believe this is due to the wrong shade.
A little bit goes a very long way, so assuming you don't spill all of the product from the tube, this should last you quite some time.
It blends pretty nicely with you hands, a brush is harder to work with. It gets brush streaks in it because of its consistency, and it takes forever to blend with the brush. So, I'd recommend just using your hands.
It has a bit of a scent, but it's faint. I honestly don't even know how to describe it, but it isn't a strong scent, anyhow.
The shade range is terrible. There are only three shades.
Light/Medium, Medium/Deep, Deep
If there were more shades, I think this line would be much better.
Also, let me just say that it does dry matte. It doesn't need powder, it dries to a soft, powder finish.
Do I recommend this?
Yes, I do, if you can get a color that matches you.
So, let's sum it up!
- Coverage is amazing
- Easily Blended with your hands
- Dries Matte
- Inexpensive
- Tube will last quite a while
- Doesn't clog pores or cause acne
- Doesn't need to be set with powder
- Very runny and liquid-y
- Messy
- Hard to blend with a brush
- Takes a little while to sink into the skin and set
- Color range isn't good
As you can see, the good definitely outweighs the bad!
So, I recommend checking this out!
This can be purchased from drugstores or Wal Mart.

The Federal Reserve this week will update its assessment of the U.S. economy and could take note of recent volatility in global financial markets. But any move or definite signal on interest rates is extremely unlikely. All the action will come in Wednesday's policy statement, due out at 2 p.m. EST, since Chairwoman Janet Yellen isn't scheduled to hold a press conference and officials won't release updated economic projections until March. Here are five things to watch out of the two-day policy meeting that starts Tuesday.
#1: Flexible Messaging
The Fed won't raise its benchmark federal-funds rate on Wednesday, just six weeks after it raised it for the first time in nearly a decade. It'll also be loath to abandon the guidance from its last policy statement that it "expects that economic conditions will evolve in a manner that will warrant only gradual increases in the federal funds rate" but that "the actual path of the federal-funds rate will depend on the economic outlook as informed by incoming data." Don't count on strong signals either way about a rate increase at the March 15-16 meeting. Officials will likely want to keep their options open as they await fresh data and watch to see if financial markets calm down.
#2: Mentioning the Markets?
The Fed in December said it judged that risks to the outlook for the economy and labor market were "balanced" when "taking into account domestic and international developments." It also dropped language that had appeared in the September and October statements about "global economic and financial developments." Watch to see if officials restore some version of that warning in a nod to renewed financial-market volatility and concerns about overseas growth. If so, note where it appears. The September statement included a sentence explicitly warning about effects on economic activity and inflation, while the October version—the last before December's rate increase—was a toned-down reference to risks for the outlook.
#3: Growth Slowdown
The biggest changes to the policy statement will likely come in the first paragraph, which describes current economic conditions. The Fed in December characterized growth as moderate, hailed further improvement in the labor market and said consumer and business spending had been increasing at solid rates, though it also flagged softness in net exports. Since then, data have been mixed. Hiring has remained robust but the broader U.S. economy has appeared to slow. The Commerce Department's first official estimate of fourth-quarter gross domestic product is due out on Friday. Economists expect it will show an anemic 0.8% growth rate in the final three months of 2015.
#4: Expecting Inflation
The December policy statement said officials would "carefully monitor actual and expected progress" toward the Fed's 2% annual inflation goal in judging when to raise rates again. Oil prices have dropped since then, and various measures of inflation expectations have shown signs of erosion. Watch the first and second paragraphs of the statement to see if the Fed flags any fresh concern on the inflation front. Last month's statement noted that market-based inflation compensation measures "remain low" and that some survey-based measures "have edged down."
#5: New Voters on Deck
The first policy meeting of 2016 means a new slate of regional bank presidents rotating into voting seats on the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee. One potential dissenter is Kansas City Fed President Esther George, a frequent dissenter during her last stint as a voter in 2013. Ms. George has kept a low profile in recent months, though she recently told the Kansas City Star that the Fed's December rate increase was "late." Of course, officials also could repeat December's unanimous vote.

European stocks ended down 1.4 percent on Friday, their biggest one-day drop since mid-March as a profit warning by General Electric rattled investors and cemented the view that the US economy was tipping into recession.
Industrial stocks took a beating, with Siemens losing 3.4 percent, and Rolls-Royce falling 3.2 percent.
The FTSEurofirst 300 index of top European shares ended down 1.4 percent, at 1,284.71 points, its lowest close since March 31 and its fourth negative session in a row.
The index ended the week with a loss of 2.6 percent.
"GE's results confirm our view that the consensus is still way too high for 2008 and that forecast downgrades will continue, and dampen the market's recent enthusiasm," said Romain Boscher, head of equity management at Groupama AssetManagement, in Paris.
GE, viewed as an economic bellwether because of its range of businesses, posted an unexpected 6 percent drop in quarterly profit and cut its full-year profit forecast from continuing earnings, quashing European shares' early recovery from a three-day drop.
"These results confirm that the slowdown is widespread and beginning to impact capex (capital expenditures) and longer-cycle businesses," said Stephen Surpless, senior analyst at Cantor Fitzgerald in London.
"While the credit crisis might be nearer to the end than the beginning, according to some, the impact on the real economy is taking place and is unlikely to abate in 2008," he added.
General Electric is the parent company of CNBC.
UK telecoms group Vodafone was the biggest laggard among Europe's blue chips, down 4.3 percent. Morgan Stanley analysts said the stock did not appeal to them compared with KPN, TeliaSonera or France Telecom after meeting EU officials on routing costs.
Other telecoms retreated, with Telefonica down 2.8 percent, and Deutsche Telekom down 1.8 percent.
BAE Systems tumbled 4.9 percent. A London court said on Thursday a corruption investigation into arms deals with Saudi Arabia should not have been halted.
European stocks also got hit by data showing that US consumer confidence fell to its lowest in more than a quarter century in early April.
The Reuters/University of Michigan Surveys of Consumerssaid its preliminary index of confidence fell to 63.2 in April from 69.5 in March. This was well below economists' median expectation of a reading of 69.0, according to a Reuters poll.
Around Europe, Germany's DAX index fell 1.5 percent, UK's FTSE 100 index dropped 1.2 percent and France's CAC 40 lost 1.3 percent.
Among the few stocks on the upside, crop protection and seeds company Syngenta gained 1.6 percent, benefiting from rival DuPont's bullish profit forecast on Thursday and booming agricultural markets.
French telecoms and construction group Bouygues rose 2.4 percent following an upgrade by Morgan Stanley. The brokerage raised its recommendation on the stock to "overweight" from "equal-weight," saying in a note: "We now think the bear case recession scenario is priced in."

Trump Ally Reportedly Lied to Congress About Secret Back Channel to Russia
Special counsel Robert Mueller may have evidence that Erik Prince, an ally of President Donald Trump, lied to Congress about setting up a secret back channel to the Kremlin for the administration, according to a report from the Washington Post.
Prince, the founder of the private military contracting firm Blackwater and also brother of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, met with emissaries from the United Arab Emirates and Russia in Seychelles before Trump's inauguration. He has admitted to the meeting, but in testimony to congressional investigators, Prince described it as a chance encounter.
The Post reports, however, that George Nader, a Lebanese-American businessman, is cooperating with Mueller and said the meeting was "set up in advance so that a representative of the Trump transition could meet with an emissary from Moscow to discuss future relations between the countries."
If the report is correct, Prince may have committed a crime by lying to Congress under oath. Nader has already testified before a grand jury, the Post found.
What does this tell us about the Russia investigation as a whole?
The revelations bolster previous reports that the Seychelles meeting was an attempt to set up secret communications between the Trump camp and Russia. Though this is not necessarily illegal, it's a breach of protocol during a presidential transition. And these interactions are clearly suspicious, following an election in which Russia repeatedly intervened to support Trump, even though he has frequently denied that Russia was involved at all.
We also know that Trump's son-in-law and aide Jared Kushner attempted to set up a secure line of communication with the Kremlin in December 2016. Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn was fired after it was revealed he had undisclosed communications with the Russians during the transition, and he later pleaded guilty to lying about these talks to the FBI. Another former Trump campaign aide, George Papadopoulos, also pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about Russia.
If everything that happened was above board, why was it all done in secret—and why all the lies?

Is Urinary Incontinence After Prostate Removal a Result of Negligence?
A: A 55-year-old man required a radical prostatectomy surgery to remove his prostate. However, the surgery left him unable to control his urination. In addition he experienced urine draining from his rectum because a fistula (passageway) had formed connecting his urethra to his rectum.
Medical experts opined that the cause of the rectal drainage was most likely a missed injury during the surgery that allowed urine to move through the stiches in the bladder to the rectum. The fistula was repaired a year later because the surgeon misdiagnosed the drainage as diarrhea and avoided further discussing it.
The repair, however, has left him unable to control his bladder, which could have been avoided if the original injury had been noticed allowing the surgeon to prevent the rectal drainage and subsequent repair.
He also suffers from erectile disfunction and urethra scarring. However, both injuries are known complications of radical prostatectomies and are unactionable in a court of law.

Grab something with a nutrition label and look at the "carbs" section. You'll see total carbs, dietary fiber, sugars and (if present) sugar alcohols.
Confusingly, "total carbs" is sometimes more than the sum of the sub-categories. That's because starch, another type of carb, is not shown. And sometimes, food packaging also calls out "net carbs" (that's total carbs minus dietary fiber).
If you're a human, you have one or more good reasons to pay attention to these different types of carbs.
Hopefully, you're reducing "bad for you carbs" (added sugars and refined flours). And seeking enough fiber. Possibly, you restrict total carbs (something I'd approach warily, if good-for-you carbs are cut, too). Or maybe, you're endurance training and want to ensure you replenish enough carbs.
Whatever your reason for looking at carbs info, OlderBeasts should understand the basics of what this all means.
Fiber: soluble vs. insoluble
Fiber, from plant-based foods, is something your body doesn't digest. But its passage through your body plays a critical role in your health.
"Soluble" fiber becomes gel-like when you drink water, slows down digestion, and prolongs feeling full. This is good if you're trying to eat less. Or if you want sustain release of energy for endurance things. Picture Aztec warriors marching through the mountains all day, powered by high-fiber chia seeds.
Soluble fiber attaches to cholesterol in your digestive system and carries it out of the body, reducing LDL "bad" cholesterol. It also reduces absorption of sugar.
Oatmeal, beans and flax and chia seeds are especially high in soluble fiber. That's why you hear these foods linked to "heart health" and diabetes-related diets.
"Insoluble" fiber, conversely, moves through your digestion unchanged. It helps keep you regular. Read up on this and you'll see words like "soft" and "bulky" (in a good way, man).
Foods high in insoluble fiber include whole-wheat flour, wheat bran, nuts, beans, most vegetables, and many fruits. Everyday fruits – apples, less-ripe bananas, oranges, strawberries – are all pretty good.
Many foods contain both kinds of fiber, but they tend to be higher in one than the other. If you eat a variety of these things, you'll be doing fine.
fiber: How much to eat?
U.S. dietary guidelines say 30-38 grams for men (the lower number if you're 51 or over).
The Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics says: "Populations that consume more dietary fiber have less chronic disease (including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers) and have been associated with lower body weights. The mean intake of dietary fiber in the United States is 17 g/day, with only 5 percent of the population meeting the Adequate Intake."
So, the vast majority of us need to worry about eating more fiber, not worry about too much! If you're increasing your fiber intake, do it slowly over a few weeks, and make sure to hydrate well. Otherwise, various gastrointestinal discomfort things may ensue.
fiber and "Net Carbs"
Net Carbs = Total Carbs – Dietary Fiber. This is because fiber carbs don't stay in your body (for the most part; some soluble fiber carbs are absorbed). So if you're managing total carb intake, think of fiber as a different kind of carb you don't really need to count.
But also remember, unless you're on an extreme low carb diet (which is controversial), you don't want "net carbs" to equal zero or even close to it! You should be getting at least 100 non-fiber carbs per day (while you're also getting 30+ grams of fiber). If following dietary guidelines, you'll get more like 200-300 non-fiber carbs per day.
sugars: Always Reduce the "Added" kind
Starting in 2018, U.S. food labels will have another line in the carbs section: added sugars. This will differentiate between natural sugars from the food itself vs. those added for taste.
Yeah, an apple may have 19 grams of sugar…but it comes in a natural bundle with a good amount of fiber and a variety of powerful, health-protecting antioxidants.
A packaged food product with 19 grams of sugar may have most or all of that sugar be from an added source. And that added sugar isn't bringing you any health benefits at all, dude…just causing potential problems.
So always be cautious of things with sugar as an added ingredient. You don't need to await the new food label to see this. You can read the ingredients, man! Here's a list of 61 things that basically mean "sugar."
Hey, I like coffee ice cream as much as the next guy. I use honey to sweeten oatmeal. So I'm not urging you to be a zero-added-sugar zealot…but to be wary of added sugar, and usually reduce/avoid it.
sugar alcohols: be aware, don't over-do
Sugar alcohols are modified sugar molecules our bodies can't digest. In that way, they're like fiber…but without any of fiber's benefits. Commonly-seen ingredients like sorbitol, xylitol, maltitol and erythritol are sugar alcohols.
They sweeten without calories and dental side-effects, but for some guys they cause major diarrhea, gas, etc. You'll have to figure out for yourself which, if any of these, are OK for your body.
And from the perspective of long-term health, while sugar alcohols have been "Generally Regarded as Safe" by the FDA, they haven't been highly studied over a long period. So we don't fully know.
Personally, I react badly to sorbitol and can't eat it if I want to stay married. I treat the other ones with some skepticism, but consume them sometimes (especially erythritol in small amounts seems benign).
With added knowledge and/or motivation this discussion may have provided, next time you're shopping or looking through the stuff in your kitchen, look at the carbs info.
Seek out the fiber and avoid the added sugars, brother. These are words to live by in general. But especially if there are two foods with similar "taste appeal" to you, pick the one with more fiber and less sugar. That's a no-brainer.
You'll feel the difference in the short term, and the long-term benefits are powerful.

I am now informed by Up Pompeii that mayor Freddy Thielemans had just given permission to a demonstration/march on sunday Sept. the 9th. in Brussels. The demonstration will proclame that it wasn't Islamists but Americans and Jewishes who stood behind the act of terrorisms against World Trade Center on Sep. the 11th 2001.
The demonstration will move from Brussels northern station to the southern in protest against "Georges Bush's involvement with the 9/11 2001 terror attack's in New York and on the Pentagon".
The demonstration is led by a left-wing anti-American group who calls itself "United for truth" and that works with conspiracy theories.
The Mayor would need a ladder to kick a snake's belly! He banned SIOE from demonstrating on the 11th, but permits the AssWholes to spew their feces in the streets of Brussels.
There are at present 6942 signatures on the petition demanding issuance of a permit for SIOE's demonstration. For the love of liberty, go now and sign that petition and spread the word if you have not yet done so!
The Losers of The Leftinistra…Too Many To Annotate
Reversal of 'Eavesdropping' Ruling Ignored
What IS it with the Lame Stream Media? What IS their deep, dark, secretive agenda? Why won't they admit to their biased reporting?
Last August, when one federal judge ruled unconstitutional the monitoring of overseas phone calls with suspected terrorists, the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts all highlighted the defeat for the Bush administration. But on Friday, after an appeals court overturned the earlier decision, ABC and CBS were silent while NBC again distorted the policy as "domestic spying." Last August 17, ABC's World News anchor Charles Gibson teased: "A federal judge tells the Bush administration one of its main terror-fighting tools violates the Constitution." Gibson introduced the story of the "major legal defeat" for the Bush administration and correspondent Martha Raddatz filed a full report in which she described the ruling as a "significant blow" to the administration. While the words "Domestic Surveillance" were displayed on screen, NBC anchor Campbell Brown relayed that the judge "harshly condemned" the program.
Yet, eleven months later, though Gibson anchored Friday night during the holiday week, ABC's World News skipped the reversal from the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals as ABC led with the problem of people defrauding the government of Hurricane Katrina relief money. Neither ABC or CBS caught up on Saturday night.
Humph! Imagine that! Silence of the lambs, as it were.
Nah! There's no bias in the Lame Stream Media. Not at all. If you believe that, I'll show you an intelligent troll.

NOTE: see comments below. "spotics" has made an observation that Ron Paul is not a truther. This is a true statement. However, the nuance above was made for the benefit of a particular "troll". Pleased forgive the wrong impression this post gave. However, it remains as is for the benefit of Troll 1.
Thank you spotics. No ill-intent was purposefully implied.

No. I Have Not Forgotten
I haven't forgotten the men I carried out nor the men that carried me out. I haven't forgotten the faces of the demons that visit me every night…when they come. I haven't forgotten the horrors of war. I haven't forgotten the screams of pain or the screams of rage. I haven't forgotten the tears for fallen comrades and I haven't forgotten the idiots in congress, either.
I haven't forgotten the physical and psychological scars…I see them every day. I haven't forgotten that my eldest son is serving, protecting the idiots in congress and the idiots that support the idiots in congress.
I haven't forgotten the words of the platitudes rendered by the idiots in congress. How can I forget and how can YOU forget? I see them every day. Don't you?

My six guidelines / marketing trends have received a lot of positive feedback. As someone described it: "A very tangible and actionable list for digital marketing activities" – focusing on leveraging new consumer/media/digital trends.
As a result I wanted to publish it as an own slideshow, a small checklist or inspirational document in case anyone wanted to enjoy it, download it, print it or share it without all the other stuff in the original presentation surrounding it (and with an additional bonus guideline).
In addition to this I'm also thinking of doing the opposite – expanding it, into a more content rich presentation. Including more insights to create a bigger understanding of why each guideline is
Side effects true story amoxil unf. Erectile dysfunction appeared significantly DE would be in the pronounced release of NO at the level you-.
. And making it more tangible by presenting some known and lesser known examples proving each point.
Inspired by Godin, who said that in the future Amazon will act as a crowd sourced publisher, where if enough people list themselves as buyers of a future novel by a specific writer, Amazon will commission this novel, sell it and distribute it.
So what I am suggesting is that if enough people add a comment to this post, or send me a mention/tweet via @congbo. I will put together the larger presentation and hopefully create a piece of content that would be valuable too both colleagues and clients, planner and brands, marketers and executives.
I'm aiming for about 50 in total, so please comment or tweet if you want it all.

By Jason Alderman
For many people, having roommates is a natural transition between leaving their parent's house and ing their own home. It can be a great way to trim expenses and save for the future. But if you're not careful, cohabitating can also devolve into constant bickering over finances and dirty dishes.
Roommate tensions are not limited to strangers. When cash-strapped young adults return to the nest, or older parents move in with grown kids for financial or caregiver assistance, long-suppressed family grievances can erupt if you're not careful.
The key to living amicably with others is open communication. All parties must feel free to ask candid questions about their roommate's financial situation and living preferences. Schedule regular meetings to discuss household issues and air any complaints or perceived inequities before they magnify and sour the relationship.
Try to agree on living arrangement details before moving in together. If you're moving into an established household, make sure you understand and agree with how financial obligations and tasks will be divided. A few considerations:
- Whoever signs the lease is responsible for paying rent and meeting other legal obligations, so you may want to have all roommates sign the lease if possible.
- You may need the landlord's permission for a new roommate to move in. The landlord may want to run a credit check and may even ask that a new lease be signed.
- If one bedroom is more spacious or has a private bath, a 50/50 split may not seem fair. The same goes if assigned parking or other amenities aren't equitable. Calculate rent amounts together so no one feels slighted later on.
- Find out which utilities are paid by the landlord and which you'll split. Consider usage levels: Say one roommate works from home and runs the heat all day, or another never watches TV or uses the Internet.
- Some people are territorial about their food, especially when budgets are tight. Decide whether you'll go in together on groceries, cleaning supplies and other household items or each your own, and set rules for replacing used items.
- Many landlords (and utilities) will only accept a single check, so it's up to everyone to settle up and pay each monthly bill on time. Spread the risk by putting each utility in a different person's name.
- Each roommate should carry their own renters insurance; otherwise your possessions and liability aren't covered in case of theft or accident.
- If your place needs common area furniture or appliances, it may be simpler to pieces individually – and keep the receipts – so when you move there's no question of ownership.
- Inevitably, your possessions will get mixed in together. To make it easier when your household eventually disbands, make an inventory of who owns what.
You may want to draft a roommate agreement that establishes household rules and duties. In addition to the billing and cost-sharing information outlined above, also include details such as:
- Rules for recovering your share of the security deposit.
- Rules governing pets, houseguests, parties, noise, smoking, alcohol and other potential disagreements.
- Housecleaning schedule and responsibilities.
- Agreement about how to handle damages caused by roommates or their guests.
- Move-out procedures, including how much notice is required and who is responsible for finding the new tenant.

Protesters demand removal of monument to fascist Italo Balbo
CHICAGO (AP) — A monument gifted to Chicago by Italian dictator Benito Mussolini in the name of aviator Italo Balbo has become the target of protesters who want it removed.
Protesters on Wednesday gathered around an ancient Roman column that sits atop a stone base. It reads in part: "Fascist Italy with the sponsorship of Benito Mussolini presents to Chicago" commemorating the flight by Balbo "in the 11th year of the Fascist Era."
Balbo in 1933 led an armada of Italian planes from Rome to Chicago for the Century of Progress World's Fair.
Protest leader John Beacham not only wants the monument's removal, but also the renaming of Balbo Drive after Ida B. Wells, a black suffragette and opponent of lynching.
Officials representing Italian-American associations in Chicago are against removal of the monument.

Summer Is Coming: I'm A Fitness Editor & These Are The Natural Deodorants That Pass My Test
Taking the natural deodorant plunge is scary enough when you're simply going to work and coming home on a sunny day. But what happens when you throw sweaty workouts into the mix?
With summer right around the corner, I'm getting ready to amp up my fitness routine—so that's a question I've been asking myself a lot lately. On a particularly ambitious workout day I like to run to my yoga classes, but I don't want to ruin the practice of my fellow yogis by stinking the entire room up, so having an effective deodorant is crucial. But does a charcoal-based, baking soda-free cream deodorant really hold up?
I put a handful of popular natural deodorants to the test so you don't have to. Yup, you're welcome. Here were my three my favorites.
Meow Meow Tweet Deodorant Stick
Meow Meow Tweet's natural stick deodorant gently conditions the skin with organic plant oils, butters, and magnesium. The stick does use a touch of baking soda, which can irritate some people's skin, but if you opt for the cream kind, it's baking soda-free. The Meow Meow Tweet deodorant stick is available in lavender bergamot, lemon eucalyptus, and will soon be available in grapefruit.
Where I wore it: On a 4-mile run.
How it held up: Oh, the joy of using a deodorant stick. Other than to warn you to be gentle as you apply this deodorant—I got a little overzealous and smeared it on without remembering it was a natural deodorant and it got everywhere—I was impressed by how well this deodorant held up on my 4-mile run, which I took in at noon on a 75-degree day. It even included a few hills. I couldn't smell a thing but the deodorant scent afterward, so I asked my boyfriend to take a sniff. He said I smelled "great." I'll take it.
Buy it: Meow Meow Tweet Deodorant Stick, $22
PiperWai Natural Deodorant
PiperWai is an activated charcoal deodorant that uses 11 essential oils including mandarin, clary sage, eucalyptus, lemongrass, and more.
Where I wore it: To a Y7 hot yoga class.
How it held up: Ah, hot yoga: The ultimate sweat test! The PiperWai deodorant I tried was in cream form, although the makers just launched a stick. I think this was my favorite of them all, not only because I didn't smell after hot yoga but because I didn't smell like anything at all. While the other deodorants left my sweat swelling a lot like the deodorant, this one seemed to have a neutralizing effect.
Buy it: PiperWai Natural Deodorant, $15.98
Soapwalla Deodorant Cream
Soapwalla cream deodorants are aluminum-free and absorb moisture by using vegetable powders, clays, and sweet-smelling essential oils like lavender, peppermint, and tea tree.
Where I wore it: To a Swerve indoor cycling class and a Yoga Vida flow class.
How it held up: Although this one has been around for a while, it definitely stands the test of time. While I prefer smearing my deodorant on with a stick rather than applying it with my fingers (it makes my morning routine just a little bit messier), once I was wearing Soapwalla's Deodorant Cream (I chose the peppermint scent), I was very impressed by how effective it was. It held up throughout my cycling class, and while by the end of my yoga flow I was admittedly a little bit stinky, I smelled about the same as I used to when using antiperspirant before a similar workout combination.
Buy it: Soapwalla Deodorant Cream, $19

"I'll have a bagel with cream cheese and lox and a diet Coke."
"Awesome! I'll get it for you right away."
This is a typical exchange with a server in a restaurant here in San Francisco. It's also the same at a store.
"I'd like to buy this shirt."
"Awesome! That'll be 13 dollars and 22 cents."
But, really, what's "awesome" about what I just said?
Americans are extremely good at customer service. Servers in restaurants and salespeople in shops I've visited this trip are, without exception, attentive and efficient and friendly.
The problem is: there is such a thing as too friendly.
My daughter and I were staying a night in a hotel in Monterey. I went down to the reception to ask for some soap, which was missing from our hotel room's bathroom. The receptionist handed me the soap.
"Thank you," I replied.
"You're so very welcome!" Imagine that this is said in the tone of voice used by a children's television show host: high-pitched and singsong and directed at someone who's under five years old.
When did "You're welcome" (as said by an adult speaking to an adult) stop being enough?
Several times, upon paying a bill in a restaurant or shop, I've been told, "Thank you so very much!" Again, in that fake happy singsong voice.
When did "Thank you" stop being enough?
This is just getting annoying.
At the same time, I'm delighted at how well I'm catered to in shops and restaurants. When I told an employee at a Microsoft store that the battery life on my tablet was not very good, he immediately sat down to identify the problem, and then offered to replace the tablet entirely.
When I'm eating in a restaurant and I order something, it comes relatively quickly. When I ask for the bill, I don't then need to wait long to get it. And I never have to do any of the exaggerated arm-waving that's often necessary to get a waiter's attention in the Netherlands.
In clothing stores, I am not expected to take the clothing I've tried on back to the rack I got it from. They have employees who do that for you. In many stores, a salesperson will go get you that other size you want to try on, or will make suggestions about what else you might want to consider. I love that.
Yet this sugary sweet politeness is really getting on my nerves. The other evening we had dinner at a chain called Johnny Rocket's, which plays on nostalgia for the typical American diner food: hamburgers, shakes and fries, primarily. We were served by the most enthusiastic waiter yet. He kept proclaiming "Excellent!" and giving the thumbs up sign.
"Can I get you anything else?"
"No, just the bill please."
"Excellent!" Thumbs up.
Why is getting the bill excellent? Was he worried we wouldn't pay it?

I think I've solved it. Pin 9 is a red herring, sort of. I never got it to blink, but I was able to get code to bootload successfully via ethernet.
The very last piece of the puzzle: windows firewall was blocking tftp. Added an exception for that and it works now!

WSE's Got Talent
Last week, the school saw staff and students brave the stage in front of a rapturous audience to show off a wide range of different talents. Hosted by Las Vegas hostess Shirley Divine (aka teacher Tim Goodwin), the competitors showed off skills that don't usually get a chance to shine during the regular school day. Ably assisted by the green tutu'ed ballerina Yasmin Kulasi, Miss Divine encouraged a wealth of talent on to the Common Room stage.
Highlights of the evening included Giorgio's beautiful piano piece, our very own Frank Sinatra Vittorio Pelosi, our talented troupe of dancers from Libya, and the grand finale, a recreation of the Love Wimbledon 'Happy' video! There were no losers, as everyone went home a winner with such chocolate to savour. Shirley Divine was overwhelmed by the evening; 'It was a divine evening,' she said afterwards. 'WSE is sparkling with talent!' A huge thank you to Miss Divine and to our Social Programme Co-ordinator Blanca Rey-Surman for organising such a wonderful event – hopefully these stars will shine again one day very soon!
