The pardon of Joe Arpaio is comparable to Woodrow Wilson filming Birth of a Nation in the White House. Without Q, Trump/Republicans are building a fascist movement, Brown Shirts and all. The Q of course is what can we do? If ever there was a time for unity of all progressives it is now. And if there was ever a time when that seems daunting at best, it is now. The corporate media continues to push the myth that poor whites put Trump/Republicans in power when 52% of his voters made over $50000.00 per year. That is to avoid the obvious conclusion that that is the same base of German fascism. I guess the first step is to recognize the reality of what we are faced with. I believe that it is a 3 headed monster: right wing media, Trump/Republicans and inherited wealth. While it is far more complicated because the corporate structure is being offered a huge tax cut, that seems to be the biggest threat. But there are splits occurring. The corporate media is under attack and while their response is pallid at best at least there is some push back. Young people are on the move and very progressive. The trade union movement is beginning to realize what they are faced with. Black and Latino leadership is slowly giving up their privileged position and starting to fight back. And the Jewish community is splitting many realizing that never forget means something. We can forge a movement even though it does look difficult. Yours in Struggle Ron

Greetings fellow Methuselahs!
I recently returned to this game after a lengthy hiatus, and I quickly noticed that while the game is still loved and played by many people (my local playgroup is only a tiny bit smaller than when I left), and there are still a lot of tournaments world-wide, there isn't very much new content being written about the game. Personally, I know that my excitement in a game depends partially on my ability to think about and interact with the game between matches, and I assume this is true for others as well. While I contemplated this observation, and lamented the lack of new content, I realized that I am not the new player I once was, and that I actually have enough experience with the game to have some (semi) reasonable things to say about it, and that these thoughts might actually be of interest to others. Ralf has been kind enough to offer to host these thoughts. I've always thought that VTES ONE is an amazing blog, and it's incredible how much amazing content is available on this site. I am very pleased to be able to contribute to it in a small way. You can expect occasional articles from me to appear on this site in the future.
Before I discuss my first topic, let me briefly introduce myself. I discovered VTES just after the release of Camarilla Edition, but while I purchased a few starter decks, I didn't really do much with the game. Mostly I remember the enthusiasm with which our designated Tremere player would announce that he was using Eagle's Sight to block random actions and pressing to the second round of combat with his Hawg — second round combat was no joke to us in those days! But I didn't really start playing until 2011, shortly after all the Heirs to the Blood had sold out. I was taken in by the fantastic players of the San Francisco Bay Area play groups, and was even given a large and generous starter collection of cards, for which I am eternally grateful. I played frequently until the end of 2013, when my work schedule suddenly prevented me from attending the weekly game. I participated in a number of tournaments, got into the finals a few times, and even won a 20 player event with a Tzimisce Vote Deck.
And that brings me to my topic for today. I've been going through the Tournament Winning Deck Archive (TWDA) and separating it according to clan. It's been a long process (I've only gone back as far as 2009 so far), but it's proven to be a treasure trove of fascinating information. You can check out the my Clan Breakdown of the TWDA here. One of my interesting observations is Clan Tzimisce — the old lords of Eastern Europe. They've done amazingly well for a Sabbat clan. Indeed, looking at the numbers from 2009 to the present (as of the date of writing), Clan Tzimisce has racked up 48 total wins, making them the second highest winning Sabbat clan. Indeed, few clans from any sect can claim to have more victories (the list includes the Giovanni, Malkavian, Tremere, Toreador, Ventrue, and Ventrue Antitribu).
But the thing that makes the Tzimisce especially interesting is the crypt composition of the winning decks. While most clans favor certain crypt groupings over others, the Tzimisce take this to an extreme: 45 of those wins either use group 2 alone, or combine group 2 and 3. Only three decks use any group 4 vampires, and there are no decks in the archive that utilize group 5 to any degree. That's rather stunning, and begs the question of what makes group 2 and 3 so special, and what makes group 4 and 5 so crappy.

We've Got It All. See For Yourself!
The seacoast area of New Hampshire is rich in history, culture, and outdoor options. (Seacoast, you ask? Yes, New Hampshire has 13 miles of Atlantic shoreline.) The area offers the best of New England: historic sites, cultural centers, colleges and universities, and loads of outdoor attractions. Many people move here to take advantage of the range of those activities. Ski areas, lakes, hiking and biking trails, and ocean beaches are all nearby.
The first settlement in New Hampshire, Dover is a thriving small city with extensive services and amenities. Dover—along with Rochester, Portsmouth, and nearby Kittery, Maine—has a thriving arts and theater scene. You can gallery-hop or go to a show at one of the professional theater companies. Portsmouth hosts several film festivals every year.
Did someone mention food? It's been said that Portsmouth has more restaurants per capita than any other U.S. city. Actually, about 20 cities claim that status. But there are still a lot of restaurants. In fact, local chefs are making news all over the area.
New England is one of those places that inspires longing and loyalty. Why do people love it? A recent article in Yankee Magazine captures the feelings: ". . . they dream of small towns, stone walls, beacons of light, seas pounding on rocks, pine trees and maples, sugar shacks, town meetings, country stores, rolling hills, and town greens." These experiences are all within a few hours' drive.
And while you might hear "New Hampshire" and think "remote," consider this if you must tear yourself away from New England. Boston and Logan airport are easy to get to by car, train, or bus. The smaller Manchester, NH airport is even closer. You can easily be on your way—wherever you need to go.

The 6 pillars of an effective business pitch
Estimated reading time: 5 minutes
What will you learn?
As a small business owner, it's often difficult to quickly summarise what you do. You wear so many hats and carry out so many different tasks. The inevitable 'So, what do you do?' can be hard to nail down in just a few sentences. But, every time you're asked that question, you have an opportunity to create more interest in your business. The following tips will help you give a brief introduction that highlights the benefits of working with you.
What's an elevator pitch?
A business pitch is your opportunity to quickly and clearly summarise the problem your business solves and the benefits of using you over a competitor.
You'll often hear it referred to as an elevator pitch. The idea being you can communicate and convince someone during a short ride in a lift – typically less than a minute.
We're going to focus on creating a short but well-structured conversational pitch that will clearly communicate the problem your business solves and why the person you're talking to will want to find out more. This is intended to help when communicating with potential customers who are unfamiliar with your business or sector.
According to Virgin founder Richard Branson, "The most important thing is to be concise. My own feeling is that a good idea can be written on the back of an envelope."
After all, any more than what you can scribble on the back of an envelope is going to drag on when you say it out loud. People want to understand the problem your product or service solves for them. And the sooner they start chatting and asking questions, the better.
Ask yourself this: could you condense your business idea into a tweet? Sounds like a strange question, but this exercise is very effective in defining your purpose as a business in simple terms.
For example, a childcare mobile application might summarise their business as: "We are a parent-to-parent referral network for finding reliable childcare providers and experts."
For example, a childcare mobile application might summarise their business as: "We are a parent-to-parent referral network for finding reliable childcare providers and experts."
If you're struggling to summarise your business idea as succinctly as the example above, these six steps will help you articulate your business idea in a structured and thought-provoking way.
- Describe the problem people faced before your business existed
- Introduce the solution
- Back it up with benefits
- Demonstrate what makes you unique
- Create a reason to believe by describing someone who has already benefited
- Practice your pitch out loud
This is essentially your reason for being. Often referred to as your why. Did you directly suffer from the lack of a service or product in your area and decide to do something about it? Maybe you heard from others how difficult it was to find skilled professionals in a certain field and realised someone with your experience would be the ideal person to tackle their problem.
Not all businesses are born out of identifying a complex problem. Problems can be simple, and that's fine. It could be something like this: "There were no decent bakeries in my area offering fresh gluten-free bread. As a coeliac, that often made it hard to prepare quick and easy lunches for work."
Take two minutes to write down every problem your business solves. Set a timer. You'll be surprised just how much you write when you take two minutes to capture every single one.
Many people make the mistake of starting their pitch by diving right into talking about the solution their product or service offers without first describing the problem it solves. This approach doesn't offer the person you're talking to any context of what your business is trying to achieve. Or its overall purpose.
It's also easy to talk about features when you go straight to the solution. The danger of talking about features is that you assume the person you're talking to is familiar with your business area. This often isn't the case, and you run the risk of alienating them if they don't have much understanding of similar products or services to make a comparison.
A solution to the previous problem might be: "We're an artisan bakery that provides fresh gluten-free bread daily."
There's an old saying that goes "Features tell, but benefits sell". People need to know why they should choose one product or service over another.
Here's an example of the difference in the context of a modern kitchen appliance:
Feature: High-temperature self-clean cycle
Benefit: Never clean your oven again
Nobody enjoys having to scrub baked-on grease from a dirty oven in their free time. If a particular model can relieve us of that horrible task, then most of us are sold. Only we probably wouldn't derive that benefit from just reading high-temperature self-clean cycle. Sure, we'd be impressed that an oven could do that, but it's not as clear at assuring us we'll never have to undertake that messy chore again.
Benefits answer "what's in it for me?". One chore less means up to thirty minutes saved that can be spent doing something else.
Showcasing something unique about your business helps you stand out. But finding something special to say about your business is not always easy. If you're stuck, try to think about your business in different terms:
Heritage: Is your product made using a secret family recipe or process?
Efficiency: Does using your service cut waiting times for users that switch to your products or services?
Convenience: Do you relieve people of a tiresome chore?
Exclusivity: Are you the only business that offers this product or service in your area?
We love stories because the language used to tell them is usually simple and easy to understand. Bear this in mind when talking about how your product has benefitted someone else. It's best to avoid talking about yourself and trying to impress the person you're talking to. Instead, talk about how somebody else's situation changed for the better by using your business and try to spark conversation by following up with questions to maintain their interest.
That might sound something like "Since installing our reflective insulation panels behind the radiators in the living room, hallway and bedrooms, a client of mine has already seen a 20% reduction in their heating bills."
Whether it's watching yourself back on your phone or getting feedback from someone who isn't too familiar with your business, speaking out loud is an important step in polishing your pitch. If you get the opportunity to do this with different people, then even better. Your choice of words and style of talking will change for each person, and this is great practice for memorising variations or recounting different customer anecdotes. Remember to take note of the questions you've been asked so you can anticipate them the next time. It's a good idea to write these questions down if you have the time and to try to think about best way to articulate your answer in as few words as possible.
Now it's time to sit down and apply this to your own business story. With this downloadable worksheet, you can make sure you don't miss any steps in creating a well-structured pitch for your business.

The Undergraduate Research Program at Elon University was established to provide students the opportunity to join faculty in scholarly activities. Scholarship by faculty members can enrich their interactions with students who are participating in this process. It also enhances the faculty member's connection to their own discipline and energizes their other instructional activities. Participation in undergraduate research is also effective for improving student learning, especially those projects which are collaborative, investigative, project-based, inquiry-based, open-minded and exploratory.
Each April, the university community gathers to celebrate undergraduate research during the annual Spring University Research Forum (SURF). The Undergraduate Research Program supports students wishing to present their research beyond Elon, including at the National Conference for Undergraduate Research and other discipline-specific or professional conferences. Students also may participate in Elon's Summer Undergraduate Research Experiences (SURE), which offer intensive experiences led by faculty mentors.
For more information regarding undergraduate research and funding opportunities, please contact Dr. Meredith Allison, Director of Undergraduate Research, by clicking here.

The is a sponsored post on behalf of The Good Cards. However, I truly believe this innovative way to spread kindness is a winner.
Kindness is free. Sprinkle that stuff everywhere.
Have you ever heard the saying, "The best things in life are free?" It's one that's been around for years and is used in a variety of situations to demonstrate that money or materialistic items can't buy happiness. Well, the same is true for kindness. It doesn't cost a thing and can be as simple as a smile, compliment, or random gesture to make another feel good. The possibilities are endless when even a small selfless act is displayed. In a world strewn with so much negativity and hate, people tend to forget that we're all human beings living on this big blue planet together. Any one of us could make a difference and at any time. Kindness benefits the giver and the receiver. Join the movement to spread happiness with The Good Cards. A game like this has never been played before!
The Good Cards is the first real life game of its kind that rewards players for doing good and spreading kindness. Inspired by the inner light that drives us all to be the best versions of ourselves, the non-profit organization knows as Better World, has made it their mission to make a difference by using gamification and technology. This innovative project has been developed to gam-ify thoughtful deeds and selfless gestures, forming stepping-stones to change the world. It's possible and the movement to spread love has already begun! With the help of over 15 experts worldwide, the dream of two dedicated creators has already become a reality in 18 countries. This game doesn't only bring people together, it also creates a domino effect in which one small action impacts many.
The game begins when a "good card" is obtained either from another individual participating, anonymously, or by making a small donation of $2 to the Better World partner's kick-starter page. The card itself is made from biodegradable material so no worries if it's accidentally dropped along the way because their design is environmentally safe. However, you never know who might pick it up and continue the journey that's already started!
Using the QR code on the back, the card is scanned with The Good Cards mobile app which is available on both IOS and Android devices. This is where the fun begins. The app will provide a challenge in which users are guided to complete an act of kindness. Feeling creative? Go ahead and create a mission of your own to execute. Either way, the good card should be passed on to the receiver so they can continue the cycle by going through the same process with a new challenge. From there, they will challenge the next person to also pay it forward.
Through the app users can track their card, see where it's going, where it's been, and just how many lives have been touched in passage. Each card has the potential to travel through the hands of hundreds of people, making the world a better place one kind act a time. The Good Cards have already made their way into my city and probably yours as well! The map feature allows you to see what areas of the world have active members. This includes a detailed look at the states and cities. Numerous first-hand experiences have already been posted. Scroll through list and read how others are delivering kindness in their community.
The movement has already begun! Head on over to The Good Cards kick-starter page and support the project. Depending on the amount donated, pledges receive some pretty cool perks like a wristband, Manifesto poster, dreamer's glasses, and community t-shirt. They're even offering an Early Bird promotion for only $25. It comes with 12 good cards for 12 months, a Special Mission wristband, and one poster. That's plenty of loot to share with friends, family, and co-workers.
To learn more about The Goods Cards and this innovative movement, visit here. Follow along on Twitter, Facebook, & Instagram using #HappinessInYourHands to see how others are making a difference.
This is a wonderful opportunity to make a significant change in the world one act at a time and promote the power of kindness. Whether it's buying a stranger a cup of coffee or helping a neighbor bring in their grocery bags, one small selfless gesture is all it takes. There are thousands of apps out there but nothing quite like this. Be a part of something cool and help it spread like wildfire!
Now it's your turn! What have you done lately to make someone smile?

Now, I will be the first to say that I've never been a cat person. I have always been a dog lover. But, one day, I found this in my backyard.
How stinkin' cute! His mother had him and 2 other kitties on my front porch. After that day, she took them away and a few weeks later, he showed up in my backyard. I felt so bad for him - his momma and siblings left him behind. I did find a home for him at first, but they weren't able to keep him, so after 2 weeks he came back to live with me.

'How I Met Your Mother' Final Season Premiere Sneak Peeks: Robin and Barney's Terrifying Revelation
'How I Met Your Mother' will begin the final leg of its 9-season journey next Monday with hour-long premiere "The Locket / Coming Back," but that isn't stopping CBS from sharing the goods in advance of the long wedding weekend. Four new sneak peeks of the final season premiere have emerged, featuring a new friend for Marshall, a shocking revelation for Robin and Barney, and yes, another glimpse of the mother!
The first new clip from Monday's all new "Coming Back" sees Lily driven to abandon Ted for his nerdy road trip trivia, something we know to put her in the path of the mother herself on a train to Farhampton! Meanwhile, Marshall frets to an airplane passenger (Sherri Shepherd) about his mother potentially spilling the beans about his potential judgeship, while Barney and Robin find they have a surprising family history in common on their way to the wedding.
Elsewhere, the final season of 'How I Met Your Mother' has recruited such guest stars as returning 'Karate Kid' star William Zabka, 'True Blood' star Anna Camp (replacing 'The Office"s Ellie Kemper), 'Revenge' star Roger Bart, and Wayne Brady and John Lithgow reprising their roles as Barney's half-brother James and biological father Jerry. In addition to clarifying the final season's wedding weekend format and releasing new promos, clips and photos, CBS previously revealed that all four regulars would meet the mother prior to Ted.
You can get an early taste of the final 'How I Met Your Mother' season premiere in the clips above and below, and tell us in the comments what you want to see from the nine-seasons-in-the-making meeting!

New Leeds United boss Dave Hockaday has insisted he's the right man for the job - despite surprise at his appointment.
The former Forest Green manager was handed the head coach title at Elland Road , new owner Massimo Cellino's first managerial pick.
Hockaday had been out of the game eight months since leaving Conference Premier outfit Forest Green after seven defeats in eight games, and replaces Brian McDermott who was ousted in May.
The 52-year-old has a two-year deal to be in charge of team affairs - but not transfers.
The appointment was not welcomed by all Leeds fans , some of whom demanded a bigger name to revive the club, with former player Gary McAllister linked.
But Hockaday is backing himself to do a good job and said: "It isn't a surprise because of my background.
"I'm a very experienced coach and obviously 20 years a player, and the fact that the president wants a very experienced British coach, then I seem to tick all the boxes.
"At the end of the day I've been given a great opportunity and I intend to take it in both hands."
Asked what his role was he replied: "Everything that goes on the training pitch, everything that goes on on the football pitch, and that's it, it's a simple as that. That suits me, because I'm a coach, it's my passion and my drive.
"Everything that goes on in training, all the tactics and the fitness, you're managing players to a degree anyway, and then it's managing the game on a Saturday. For me it makes sense.
"Everything I believe in and everything the president believes in, it's about having people on and off the park who are hungry and have a great work ethic.
"It's a massive club. Proud doesn't even come close to how I feel, and I will give this club everything I have got."
Leeds kick-off at Millwall on August 9 and will be hoping Hockaday's track record with youngsters will transfer to his reign.
The former Swindon, Hull and Blackpool player did well as a youth coach at Watford, helping to develop Ashley Young and Hameur Bouazza as U18 chief, and also coached at Southampton.
Owner Cellino's wants Leeds in promotion shape for the 2015-16 season, after a decade out of the top flight.

Saudi Arabia has put to death inmates convicted of murder and drug trafficking, bringing to 73 the number of executions in the oil-kingdom this year.
The state-run SPA news agency reported that two Saudi Arabian citizens and three nationals of Chad were executed on Tuesday after being sentenced to death for the abduction and murder of a Pakistani security guard. The quintet had purportedly sought to rob the warehouse the guard was watching over.
Another Saudi was beheaded for setting a man on fire and causing his death.
Moreover, a Lebanese national was executed for attempting to smuggle Captagon pills into the kingdom.
Captagon is a psychostimulant which is made of a combination of amphetamine and theophylline. It is highly addictive, and became illegal in most countries in 1986.
It also makes users feel energetic and happy, which is why it has been dubbed "chemical courage."
Saudi Arabia is one of the top executioners in the world, with more than 2,000 people executed between 1985 and 2016.
Suspects convicted of terrorism, homicide, rape, armed robbery and drug trafficking face death penalty.
Saudi Arabia carried out 153 executions across the kingdom in 2016. In the most stunning case of executions, Saudi Arabia executed on January 2 that year Sheikh Nimr Baqir al-Nimr along 46 other people in defiance of international calls for the release of the prominent Shia cleric.
Saudi Arabia carried out 158 executions, including 71 foreign nationals, in 2015.
According to the London-based rights group Amnesty International, many people in Saudi Arabia are sentenced to death and executed following seriously flawed court proceedings that routinely fall far short of international fair trial standards.
It added that the defendants are often convicted solely on the basis of "confessions" obtained under torture and other ill-treatment, denied legal representation in trials which are held in secret, and are not kept informed of the progress of the legal proceedings in their case.

The accounting regulator the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has constituted an expert group to suggest sector-specific accounting norms for insurance companies. The move aims at ensuring that financial statements of insurance firms reflect true natures of financial arrangements. ICAI president Uttam Prakash Agarwal confirmed the development. "ICAI is planning to come up with specific accounting standards for the insurance sector,".
New standards will help in making financial statements of insurance companies — public as well as private — easier for the investors to comprehend, as it will require the companies to show their fields of revenue generation with clarity, he said. These independent accounting standards for the country's insurance sector will be in addition to the already existing accounting norms which the insurance companies follows now.
The insurance regulator, Insurance Regulatory Development Authority (Irda) has directed all domestic life insurance companies to tighten their expenses in order to procure durable business. This move came after reports surfaced that insurers are making disproportionately huge commission payments to their intermediaries, other than individual agents. This, in turn, affects the overall financial strength of the companies.
The definition of related parties to intermediaries should be conformity with the accounting standards of ICAI and Companies Act. The regulator has also stipulated that the information certificate given by the company to the regulator should have signatures of the insurer's chief executive officer, the chief financial officer and the compliance officer.

I retired from The Hour newspaper in 2000.
Oh my! This took me right back into the home of my parents and the type of music they liked...especially combining it with the first hub you wrote on this subject. I recognized nearly all of these artists...and/or their songs. My parents used to have a rather large record collection. This is such a wonderful hub! Voted up, useful and sharing this with my followers. Thanks!
Just listened to Bing's 'Melancholy Baby?' ~ lovely!
ma she's making eyes`at me
Can anybody sing "My Meloncholy Baby?
Hi :)
Yes, I suppose he is more operatic ~ rather than being a crooner :)
Hi William, :)
I love 'I'll Never Fall in Love Again', by Johnny Ray. I think that it was a double 'A' side ~ with 'You're All That I Live for' on the reverse??
I bought one of his albums, though, and was disappointed. It was a later recording and he had rather lost his amazing voice by then.
What do you think of Mario Lanza? Mum introduced his music to Dad, and, from then on, they were both fans :)
Hi William :)
More memories of Mum and Dad's record collection!
Between them, of those listed, they liked:
The Mills Brothers, Vaughn Monroe, Louis Armstrong, Slim Whitman, Bob Eberly & Helen O'Connell, Judy Garland, Fred Astaire, some Johnny Mathis.
Vaughn Monroe is a special favourite of my Mum.
They preferred Mario Lanza to Enrico Caruso
Andy Williams was a bit late for them ~ but I liked him.
I think that my Grandad liked Al Bowlly.
And the first record that I ever owned was Johnny Ray's 'Josephine'. It was a 1st birthday present from Mum & Dad, because I loved it and would jump up and down in my pram, whenever it came on. It was banned shortly afterwards!!!
Have heard of a surprisingly large amount of these. Makes me feel very old lol
The best hub I have read on singers etc. Bookmarking this as I will be re-reading it again and again. Outstanding presentation. The videos are just wonderful.
Sarah Vaughn was my idol. I would run home from school, turn on the radio and wait until her name was announced. So many great artists here. I can hardly wait to read this hub again tomorrow and re-play the videos. You, William, are the master! A huge thumbs up and awesome.
Fantastic, congrats on your great collection. I must listen to your other hubs. Thanks!
Great listening here!
William, another outstanding list; in my mind it outdid the others for sheer talent -- but it could be because of my own tastes. Sarah and Fats and Hank ... well, all of them made wonderful music while it was still music. Hank in particular could have done any genre. Satchmo interests me. I understand he didn't really start singing until after he damaged his lip & couldn't play the way he used to. Turned into a nice second career.
Great hub william - lots of great artists - growing up if I would have to pick three I would say Lena Horne, Fats Waller and Judy Garland were the most popular of you list - Ray Price was a big hit too of course.
Wow...just a fantastic hub William. It was great to see Arthur Tracy the "street singer' on there...and of course Al and Chick not to mention all the rest.
Love it. Cheers
So many people mentioned here, with talent to the extreme. Earlier, I saw Doris Day mentioned, I believe one of the last vastly multi-talented artists, say like Sammy Davis Jr.
They sang, danced, and acted, seemingly comfortable doing any or all of these things.
Man you listed all the greats Carmichael, Horne, Prima . . What a fantastic list. These were the grat ones, gone but never forgotten. Thanks so much William.
The only thing missing was my dad, my grandpa, and the roaring fire.......... thank you for the memories!
Enjoyed everyone of them, also sang danced and still listen to many of these today. Thanks for the memories.
Of the old ones you mentioned, my favorites were Hank Williams and Lena Horne. This is not popular music, but Mahalia Jackson's gospel music was also thrilling to hear. Both these musicians opened a lot of doors. There was another artist who included a song which was something like "Dark Fruit", a very chilling artist but wonderful. I wonder if you remember her name. I have been searching for it.
Speaking of hearing the old music, one of my dear friends owns a tape of her family's banjo/ guitar/ piano/ fiddle fests--probably '30s; they had a talented musical family which played and sang at family gatherings. That was a joy and a priviledge to hear. Thanks.
What an awesome collection. These talents speak for themselves. Thank you for bringing them together like this! Great job!
Because of technology we can see and hear people who were at their height before any of us were even born.
Please William F, more of the same,
Many thanks for this fine selection of singers and songs William, another of your hubs for my collection.
You know your music, some very talented artists named here.
William...Two thumbs up for this wonderfully organized and eclectic compilation of a wonderful era of music...The videos were simply great !...I spent a most enjoyable morning reading and listening to your Hub...Thanks for this much appreciated musical gift...Larry
That is a great collection of great artists and singers. Thank you. You brought back my youth.
Wow! What a great, super, excellent top-notch hub here! Brilliant. Thank you so much for putting a video with each performer.
You've done all the work - and all I have to do is bookmark it and rate it up.
Thanks a million!
Another jam packed hub of some great songs even I listen to, and I am far from being a grand ma or grand pa!!!

Easter Bonnet Parade
On the afternoon of Wednesday 29th March, children at Holy Trinity proudly paraded around the playground, showing off their amazing Easter Bonnets. There were some wonderful creations including a pointy carrot bonnet, a space themed bonnet with it's own space chickens and some fantastic traditional bonnets which also depicted the story of Easter from the Bible. Parents watched as the children danced and walked around. There were prizes for a winner, two runners up and a prize for the best dancing! Thank you to all the children and parents for all their hard work.
Illustrator Visit
On Wednesday 29th March, Erika Meza – a children's illustrator came to visit the children. Our topic this term is 'Once Upon a Time' so to have a 'real life' illustrator visit, really enhanced our learning. She started off with doing some live drawings whilst telling a story at the same time. This then inspired the children to draw their own pictures based on a boy and his pet Bear!
Erika showed us a set of children's books that she has illustrated. They are based around two children called Carmen and Carlos. They live in the USA but have Mexican parents. The books therefore have lots of Spanish in them and tell some lovely stories which the children can relate really well to. Erika told us some exciting news about a story that she has recently illustrated by none other than Julia Donaldson!
Bear Hunt Music Workshop
Sarah plays the cello and also teaches others how to play. She showed us how to make loud sounds and quiet sounds, a high pitched sound and a low pitched sound and how to play chords on her cello which is 130 years old. She can make sounds like a racing car, a fog horn, a train as well as playing tunes such as 'Let it Go' from Frozen and the Batman theme tune!
Sarah explained how sound is made from vibrations and how bigger instruments make lower pitched sounds and smaller instruments make higher pitched sounds.
Sarah brought in lots of different tuned and untuned instruments for us to try. We learnt how we can make sounds by banging, shaking or blowing. She challenged us to sort the instruments into groups of tuned and untuned instruments.
We put together a performance of 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' which used lots of musical skills and performed it to the children in Foundation.
Circus Skills Workshop with Alex from Circusology
Last week we were lucky to be visited by Alex from the very popular Circusology Complany. Alex taught the children (and the adults) lots of circus acts.
We all learnt to balance a Peacock feather on the palm of our hands, spin plates, juggle, pedal ride an lots of other activities.
The children were amazed by Alex's talent and they made us proud with how quickly they picked up the techniques.
World Book Day
We had some fantastic characters and costumes ranging from Mr Twit – Cinderella – Little Red Riding Hood – Supertato – Mike TV and many more!

Please read: FORUM RULES UPDATED May 2014
This forum is NOT a general discussion forum. It is a place to take advantage of Doc Sk8's knowledge of sk8ing. His main areas of knowledge are:
* INDOOR Skating
* Skate Building
(Jam, Derby and Speed)
* Skate Repair
* Boots, Wheels (Indoor), Plates, Frames, Bearings, etc.
* Almost anything related to INDOOR quad / inline skates.
1) Please ask a question and provide pix if possible. Sometimes the language and terminology used are confusing so pix help.
It is no longer necessary to obey the 1 question 1 answer rule...especially since I have broken it frequently.
NOTE: If you are not Doc Sk8 and wish to post an answer feel free to do so. BUT you must wait for me.
I will delete
responses from anyone that can't hold on to their horses unless:
1) It is an awesome answer.
2) If you catch it before I do and apologize, I'm good with that.
You can also feel free to PM me with your answer. Iffin it's a good 'en, I'll post it with proper credit given.
2) I do not pretend to know everything (opinions to the contrary not withstanding
) so there are times I may be slow in responding... gotta do my homework. I may also be answering PMs, email or actually building / modifying sk8s.... or SK8ING.
If I forget or am slow to answer, please PM me to remind me.
3) In the even I have made a mistake or you do not agree with my response....which can happen...
PLEASE PM ME. I will take action to correct or clarify it ASAP.
Attempt to correct me in the open at your peril.
I will delete your post
at minimum.
4) Banned individuals. Yes there are members who I find so absolutely objectionable in their overbearing need to be Mr. Know It All that I have felt the need to ban them. One of them cannot seem to get it through their head that they are not allowed to post here. I have cut them slack in the past, but no more. So banned offenders, don't waste your time posting here, and don't bother to pretend to apologize for doing so. I will erase you as soon as I see you have broken the rules.

Mount Pleasant blank Waterhouse 2-0
Nigel Stewart, assistant coach of Mount Pleasant, says that yesterday's 2-0 victory over Waterhouse in their Red Stripe Premier League encounter at Drax Hall is a welcome result for his team.
Daniel Green in the first minute and Suelae McCalla in the 63rd were the scorers for Mount Pleasant, who were recording their first win in their last five matches.
With yesterday's win, Mount Pleasant moved up to fifth in the standings on 30 points. Stewart, who is charge of the team while head coach Donovan Duckie serves a three-match ban, said that they are very hoping that the team will keep moving up the standings.
"We were playing for three points, and we got three points. I just hope this a first sign of good things to come because we are working very hard," Stewart said.
Green gave the hosts a dream start when he arrived at the post to tap home a cross from Cardel Benbow.
Waterhouse's striker Rafiek Thomas came close to giving his team the equaliser 10 minutes later, but his shot from 12 yards went high over the crossbar. The visitors were then reduced to 10 players on the stroke of half-time when midfielder Keammar Daley was sent off after picking up a second yellow card.
Mount Pleasant took control of the match with their one-man advantage in the second half and wrapped up the match when McCalla fired home a powerful 25-yard shot against the run of play.
Stewart added that his team played well that they still had a lot more work to do. "The performance was good, but we could have done better in some areas of the field. We will now go back to the training ground and practise and come better for our next game," Stewart said.
Waterhouse coach Marcel Gayle, whose team was suffering its second straight defeat since the start of the year, said he was disappointed with the defeat but praised the efforts of his players.
"Nobody wants to lose, but we finished the game with ten players and so we showed heart because the game could have been six or seven nil, but my guys fought, and I am proud of them," said Gayle.
In another match yesterday, 10-man Cavalier clipped Montego Bay United 2-1 at the Stadium East Field. Nicholas Hamilton (34th) and Kaheem Parris (73rd) were the scorers for the winners who got both their goals after Nicholas Nelson was sent off in the 29th minute.
Cavalier are second in the standings with 37 points, just two behind leaders Portmore United.

In 1972, Boleslaw Taborski attended Steven's production of Byron's The Deformed Transformed at the Roundhouse in London. The first of the night's proceeds were for The Greek Committee Against Dictatorship and was attended by members of the Greek Diplomatic Corp. including Lady Fleming. This was fitting, considering Byron's love of Greek freedom. Steven was busy shaking hands with VIPs, so he welcomed the interruption when Bolek came and introduced himself as Grotowski's translator. He loved the show and invited Steven to bring Triple Action to Poland because he felt there was a deep connection between the two companies.
Bolek was much more than Grotowski's translator he was a Poet, a BBC Radio Correspondent, a famous Polish freedom fighter, Jan Kott's translator and a leading light at the Wroclaw Festival. He was later to become Pope John Paul's biographer and Steven's son's Godfather. Steven happily agreed as he had been originally pointed towards Grotowski's work by Royal Shakespeare Company member Morgan Sheppard when Steven was worked there in 1968.
Triple Action went to Poland for the first time in 1973 and returned there every year until the declaration of Martial Law in 1981. They fell in love with Polish theatre and worked on six collaborations with Grotowski's Laboratorium in Poland, Italy, Canada and the UK. The first collaboration was with Laboratorium Actor and then director, Zbiszek Cynkutis on his Dostoyevski Project. Later, they continued with workshop leaders on collaborations in the UK with the likes of Theo Spychalski, Malgorzata Swiatec and the wonderful Jacek Zmyslowski. The company participated in the sharing of information with several theatres who collaborated with Grotowski at the Centre for Theatre Research in Milan. These other theatres included Eugenio Barba's Odin Theatre, Andre Gregory of Manhattan Project (My Dinner with Andre) and wonderful actors like Yoshi Oida who worked primarily with Brook in Paris.
The Polish connection also evolved into other fruitful collaborations with The Kalambur and the Wroclaw Festival. The largest project of these was when Steven took 80 people from 20 different cultures up a mountain in Oleśnica (see video below). This was to run a cross cultural project that would end up as a street spectacle on the streets of Wroclaw. The spectacle was anti-communist and ended in a street battle between communists and non-communists. Steven was warned by Russian authorities that if he ever did anything similar again the Wroclaw Festival of Open Theatres would be closed. Period.
Tadeusz Lomnicki and Steven connected in England when Lomnicki came to visit Steven at Triple Action after he'd seen a film screening of King Lear. Lomnicki had been hailed as the Olivier of Poland. They worked on a production of Faustus together when Lominicki was with Theatr Polski but the production was doomed never to happen due to the intervention of Martial Law in 1981.
Those strange days saw art beyond politics. While Steven was working with Lomnicki, who was an elected member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, Triple Action was performing to audiences of tens of thousands of Solidarity members in the Northern Shipyards of Poland. Even the Laboratorium was now being run by Ludwig Flaszen (Grotowski's Dramaturge) who was Solidarity because Grotowski was a committed member of the Communist Party.
Anti-Communist Activities
Several times Steven had smuggled papers, letters and in certain situations even people out of Poland in an attempt to help artists who were living in such an oppressive environment. This included members of Osmego Dnia, Kalambur and Laboratorium.

Steven Lin, Pianist
Taiwanese American pianist Steven Lin is an immediately engaging and imaginative young artist, applauded by the New York Times for playing that is "…immaculately voiced and enhanced by admirable subtleties of shading and dynamics," and his growing list of awards features the 2012 Concert Artists Guild Victor Elmaleh Competition and the John Giordano Jury Chairman Discretionary Award at the 2013 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. In May 2014, his dynamic playing at Israel's Arthur Rubinstein Piano Competition was recognized when he was awarded the Silver Medal as well as numerous performance prize engagements in Israel and internationally.
Mr. Lin begins the 2015-16 season with summer performances at Korea's DITTO Festival and The Finca World Piano Festival in the Canary Islands, and a concerto with the Fort Worth Symphony and Music Director Miguel Harth Bedoya. Plus, he is also featured prominently in the Cliburn Competition documentary film, Virtuosity, which premieres on PBS in late July 2015. His featured US recital engagements in 2015-16 include his debut in Carnegie Hall's Zankel Hall (co-presented by CAG and the Rubinstein Foundation), and the Wallis Annenberg Performing Arts Center in Beverly Hills. Mr. Lin's North American concerto highlights include three performances with the Kansas City Symphony and his debut in Carnegie Hall's Stern Auditorium with the New York Youth Symphony.
Internationally, Mr. Lin performs in Asia frequently during 2015-16, including a solo recital tour of Taiwan, and four recitals in China, including Shanghai, as well as a tour of Korea and China with the DITTO Ensemble. He also returns to Israel for a concerto performance with the Israel Sinfonietta Beer Sheva, and other recent concerto performances abroad include: National Taiwan Symphony; Evergreen Symphony Orchestra (Taipei); Taipei Symphony Orchestra; and the Western Australian Symphony Orchestra.
Steven Lin's artistry was clear from an early age when he was accepted into the Juilliard Pre-College Division on a full scholarship at the age of ten to study with Yoheved Kaplinsky. A two-time winner of the Juilliard Pre-College Piano Competition, he made his debut with the New York Philharmonic in Avery Fisher Hall at the age of 13. Additional concerto performances include the New Jersey Symphony, Baltimore Symphony, Tulsa Symphony, Orlando Philharmonic and Sendai Symphony Orchestra. He has appeared on radio broadcasts including NPR's From The Top and WQXR's McGraw Hill Young Artists Showcase.
The pianist's broad musical interests allow him to move with ease between concertos, recitals and chamber music, enjoying appearances world-wide at important venues including the Louvre and Salle Cortot in France, National Dublin Hall in Ireland, Seoul Arts Center in Korea, Sendai Cultural Center in Japan, and Avery Fisher Hall in the United States. Recent recital debuts include: Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall; The Kennedy Center; The Gilmore Rising Stars series; and the National Chopin Foundation. Recent summer festivalsinclude the Aspen Chamber Music Workshop, under the mentorship of David Finckel and Wu Han, and the La Jolla Music Society's SummerFest, curated by violinist Cho-Liang Lin.
In addition to his victory at the CAG competition, 2012 was a big year for Mr. Lin, when he was a prizewinner at the William Kapell International Competition, The Juilliard School's Gina Bachauer Piano Competition and he was awarded an unprecedented three honors at the 2012 International Hilton Head Piano Competition, cited for his excellence in baroque and contemporary music as well as his overall pianism.
Steven Lin earned both Bachelor's and Master's Degrees at The Juilliard School, studying with Robert McDonald and Matti Raekallio and earned the Performance Diploma from the Curtis Institute of Music, under the guidance of Robert McDonald. When not making music, Steven Lin describes himself as an 'NBA basketball fanatic,' a source of great pride and commitment which began when he was eight years old.
