Redemption Song
By Laura Wilkinson
Published by Accent Press (28 January 2016, £7.99, ISBN: 9781783758692)
Redemption Song is the powerful new novel by Laura Wilkinson, critically acclaimed author of Public Battles, Private Wars. This engaging and beautifully written book explores themes of love and loss, set against the atmospheric landscape of a small seaside community.
Saffron is studying for a promising career in medicine until a horrific accident changes her life for ever. Needing to escape London, she moves to a coastal town to live with her mother. Saffron feels trapped until she meets Joe, another outsider – despite initial misgivings, they grow closer to each other as they realise they have a lot in common. Like Saffron, Joe has a complicated past that's creeping up on his present…
Can Joe escape his demons for long enough to live a normal life – and can Saffron reveal the truth about what really happened on that fateful night? Love is the one thing they need most, but will they – can they – risk it?
Laura Wilkinson says: "I'm fascinated by the human capacity to heal and move on from traumatic, damaging events, especially when we feel responsible. Honesty and forgiveness, for ourselves and others, can be hard to find. Guilt and hatred can linger and poison. I wanted to explore the role family, friends and the wider community play in the process of repair; the importance of love and hope in moving towards new beginnings."
Former journalist Laura Wilkinson grew up in North Wales and lives in Brighton. Alongside writing fiction, she works as a reader and editor for Cornerstones Literary Consultancy, and a mentor for The Writing Coach. She has published short stories in magazines and anthologies, and novels. Public Battles, Private Wars was a Welsh Books Council Book of the Month in 2014.
Redemption Song is intelligent women's fiction for fans of Sarah Rayner and Stephanie Butland. This novel is a captivating, insightful look at what happens when everything goes wrong – and the process of putting the pieces back together.

Chapter 66 – Martial House's Resources
Note: henceforth, "Martial Quarters" will be changed to "Marshal's Quarters." We'd been using the former, but apparently it was a typo (since martial and marshal sound basically the same).
Chapter 66 – Martial House's Resources
At this time, in front of Lin Ming, a bright flame burst into life. Mmm? Sound transmitting talisman?
"In a quarter hour, arrive at the Seven Profound Martial House's martial stage! The Martial House shall be allocating resources to disciples based upon their ranking in the ranking war!"
The Martial House's resources!
With his heart full of delight, Lin Ming strapped the long spear to his back and flew down the mountain as quickly as he could. Although he was moving at his fastest speed, he was still 30% slower than before because he was carrying such a heavy spear on his back. Before, he might have jumped his way through the tree branches with impressive force and agility, but at the present he could only run through the thick, knee-high grass, each step flattening the foliage underneath him, while he carried the spear on his back.
But this failed to cause distress to Lin Ming. In fact, he was even more excited! Carrying such a heavy spear was also a form of practice!
After a quarter of an hour, Lin Ming arrived at the martial stage at the Seven Profound Martial House. Instructor Hong Xi had already arrived there long before, and most of the 20 new students of the Earth Hall had also arrived. Seeing Lin Ming come, Hong Xi lifted a hand and tossed a jade slip to Lin Ming.
"Resource details are inside. Look yourself."
"Yes, Instructor." Lin Ming poured his soul force into the jade slip. Inside was a detailed map of the Seven Profound Martial House, and the sections of resource locations at the Martial House were outlined in detail.
Inside the illumination of the jade slip were killing arrays used by martial artists to cultivate. They were the Golden Soldier Hall, Wood Puppet Lane, Lava Cave, Boulder Slope, Icy Pond Waterfall, Violent Wind Tunnel, and Thunder Valley. These seven were known as the seven major element killing arrays of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, lightning, and wind.
These seven major killing arrays were constantly in operation all year round, and they consumed a massive amount of true essence stones.
Although the killing arrays were constantly in activation, they could only allow 12 people to cultivate at a time together. The Seven Profound Martial House had too many disciples; it was impossible to allow all of them to come as they pleased, so the only method to allocate time was for disciples to gain it for themselves by struggling their way up the Ranking Stone. Disciples that weren't on the Ranking Stone were not eligible to enter, and disciples followed the rankings to be allotted time
According to Lin Ming's ranking, every month he could practice at any killing array for three days.
In addition to this cultivation practice, Lin Ming was also qualified to enter the Seven Profound Martial House's depository and select a low-grade human-step cultivation method and two low-grade human-step martial skill manuals. Lin Ming could not bring the cultivation method and martial skill jade slips outside of them Seven Profound Martial House, but he could bring them out of the depository and back to his own residence to study them in his own time.
"Martial skill and cultivation methods, and also arrays to cultivate at, these are the most valuable resources that the Seven Profound Martial House can provide. Martial skills can increase a martial artist's combat prowess and versatility, the cultivation method is the fundamental of martial art, and being able to practice in a killing array can speed up a martial artist's cultivation and enable them to achieve twice the results with half the effort. Many disciples come to the Seven Profound Martial House for these three resources. "
"Out of these three resources, the most important is the cultivation method manual. But, I have the 'Chaotic Virtues Combat Meridians', so the cultivation methods they have here are of no significance for me. What I need most right now is a martial skill and a cultivation room. It's a pity that I can only practice three days per months, it just isn't enough time. I have to rise as fast as I can on the Ranking Stone."
Lin Ming outlined everything he needed in his mind, then withdrew his soul force from the jade slip.
Hong Xi said, "Everyone has finally arrived. Now all of you follow me, we are going to the depository."
The Seven Profound Martial House's depository was a pavilion that was divided into the inner and outer rooms. Only core disciples could access the inner pavilion; the outer pavilion was for the rest of the disciples.
The inner pavilion contained top-secret cultivation methods and skill manuals that were left behind by masters and sages of the Seven Profound Valleys. These manuals and jade slips were not permitted to be handed to outsiders, under great penalty. Lin Ming was only able to enter the outer pavilion at the moment.
Although the outer pavilion's cultivation method manuals were a grade lower than the inner pavilion, they had a much larger collection and higher level of variety then the inner pavilion did. Inside were several thousand jade slips that had been collected and accumulated by the Seven Profound Valleys over 600 years. Occasionally, a Seven Profound Valleys disciple would undergo a mission, and on the way, they would come into disputes with other martial artists and kill them. These martial artists often had cultivation method jade slips on them. Although these jade slips were useless to the disciples of the Seven Profound Valleys, they were able to sell them to the sect and this would increase the number of cultivation method jade slips that the Seven Profound Valleys had. However these cultivation methods were not the legitimate original methods of the Seven Profound Valleys, therefore they would distribute these to the regional Martial Houses so that the disciples there could study them.
Even so, all these cultivation methods were extremely precious within the Sky Fortune Kingdom. Out of the 20 new Earth Hall disciples, many of them had never practiced a cultivation method, so once they came into this outer pavilion and saw such a vast collection of options to choose from, many people grew breathless and colored with excitement.
After Lin Ming arrived at the depository, he handed his jade slip in his hands to the warden elder who guarded the outer pavilion. Not only did this jade slip contain the distribution information on resources, but it also served as a record of Lin Ming's data and results.
The warden elder examined the jade slip with his soul force, and then said to Lin Ming, "You may proceed. You may choose a cultivation method and two martial skills. You may bring the three jade slips out of the depository but they cannot leave the Seven Profound Martial House. Also… if there are too many people wanting a jade slip, you will need to reserve an appointment, and the length of time you can study it is based upon your rank on the Ranking Stone."
It was too difficult and troublesome to duplicate a cultivation method's jade slip; therefore each copy was rare and unique. Some cultivation methods were much more popular and coveted than others, and if many other disciples chose to study that specific one, then there would be a conflict in time and resources. To arrange the reservation time, that would depend on one's own ranking. Therefore the low ranking disciples often didn't choose a well-known or prominent cultivation method; otherwise they would not have many opportunities to study it.
"The Seven Profound Martial House really is where strength reigns supreme. Here, ranking is all that matters." Lin Ming sighed with feeling, and then walked into the depository.
At this time, there were many disciples gathered in the depository, but none of them were making even the slightest sound. If one carefully listened, they could hear that these disciples were even holding their breath for the space of half an incense stick of time, as they were single mindedly studying the cultivation methods in the jade slips.
"So many masters…" Lin Ming lightly breathed. The Seven Profound Martial House was really a den of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Zhu Yan was a top-tier talent who ranked among the best in Green Mulberry City, but here at the Seven Profound Martial House he was only able to be in the top 30.
Hong Xi said, "Start to choose. Don't be anxious, there is plenty of time. Make your choice wisely. Jade slips that don't have a mark are the most basic of skills and cultivation methods. Those with marks on them have a grade. Red marks are low-grade of the human-step, and purple marks are medium grade of the human-step. Near each jade slip is a record that shows how many people have chosen that one. If your ranking is too low, I suggest you to not choose one that is too favored, otherwise, since time is assigned according to your ranking, you may not have much of an opportunity to study it."
According to the regulations of the Martial House, between ranks 100 to 200, they could only chose a low-grade human-step cultivation method manual. Lin Ming's ranking was relatively high, so he could chose a popular cultivation method.
However not even mentioning low-grade human-step cultivation methods, even if it was a high-grade human-step cultivation method, Lin Ming would be completely uninterested in it. But, he still had to appear as if he wanted one.
So he began to browse around all the shelves. Near each cultivation method was a label that was made of symbol paper which had the names of the disciples who had chosen that cultivation method. The popular cultivation methods often had 4 or 5 names, but the less popular ones often didn't have any names at all.
The gap between various low-grade human-step cultivation methods was just too great, thus the disciples who were over rank 100 learned cultivation methods far superior to those below them.
Lin Ming looked for a while, and suddenly moved as he saw Zhang Cang's name.
"Shadowless Art! I guess this is the cultivation method that Zhang Cang cultivates."
As soon as Lin Ming looked at the label, he was stunned to see seven names written on it. This cultivation method was truly welcomed by all!
Lin Ming sank his soul force into the jade slip and saw the overview of these cultivation method pop into his mind.
'The 'Shadowless Art'. Heavy offense, light defense. The cultivator's true essence density and purity would be extremely high; they could even compare with a martial artist a whole stage above. This is truly one of the best and most outstanding low-grade human-step cultivation methods among its peers; it is not too far from being a middle-grade human-step cultivation method. However this cultivation method is not easy to practice, and those that reach the Large Success stage are too few, thus please be prudent in your choice.'
Seeing this overview, and reading that it was too difficult so one had to practice it with caution, Lin Ming only smiled and laughed. All of those in Earth Hall over rank 100 were talents, the more difficult it said it was to cultivate, the more those brave and arrogant geniuses would desire it. This cultivation method was also one of the best ones within its rank, how could they not want it?
But certainly, in this cultivation method, Lin Ming had no interest.
He continued to look around, and was preparing to casually choose one, but then his footsteps paused as he wandered near a bookshelf in a corner.
"Spear arts?"

The 1929 Safed riots, during the 1929 Palestine riots, were the riots that took place in Safed culminating in the massacre of 18-20 Jewish residents of Safed on 29 August 1929.
In 1929, when Mohammed Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, told his followers that Jews were preparing to take over the Al-Aqsa Mosque, anti-Jewish riots erupted across Palestine in what became known as the 1929 Palestine riots. The Safed riot was part of this wave of violence.
Between eighteen and twenty Jews were killed and eighty wounded. The main Jewish street was looted and burned. The members of the Commission of Inquiry visited the town on 1 November 1929.
David Hacohen, a resident of Safed, described the carnage in his diary:
"We set out on Saturday morning. . . I could not believe my eyes. . . I met some of the town's Jewish elders, who fell on my neck weeping bitterly. We went down alleys and steps to the old town. Inside the houses I saw the mutilated and burned bodies of the victims of the massacre, and the burned body of a woman tied to the grille of a window. Going from house to house, I counted ten bodies that had not yet been collected. I saw the destruction and the signs of fire. Even in my grimmest thoughts I had not imagined that this was how I would find Safed where "calm prevailed."
The local Jews gave me a detailed description of how the tragedy had started. The pogrom began on the afternoon of Thursday, August 29, and was carried out by Arabs from Safed and from the nearby villages, armed with weapons and tins of kerosene. Advancing on the street of the Sefardi Jews from Kfar Meron and Ein Zeitim, they looted and set fire to houses, urging each other on to continue with the killing. They slaughtered the schoolteacher, Aphriat, together with his wife and mother, and cut the lawyer, Toledano, to pieces with their knives. Bursting into the orphanages, they smashed the children's heads and cut off their hands. I myself saw the victims. Yitshak Mammon, a native of Safed who lived with an Arab family, was murdered with indescribable brutality: he was stabbed again and again, until his body became a bloody sieve, and then he was trampled to death. Throughout the whole pogrom the police did not fire a single shot."
A Scottish missionary working in Safed at the time stated:
"On Saturday August 24, there was a demonstration of Moslems along the road past the mission property. They came beating drums and breaking the windows of Jewish houses en route...On the afternoon of Thursday the 29th... one of our church members came running to tell us that 'all the Jews were being killed.' A few minutes later we heard women shrieking their 'jubilant refrain' from the Moslem quarter and saw men running with axes and bludgeons in their hands, urged on by women...we heard rifle and machine gun fire all around us...Wild Arabs had come up from the valley unexpectedly into the Jewish quarter and began at once a systematic slaughter of the Jews. Some escaped with injury only but 22 were killed outright in the town...The inhumanity of the attack was beyond conception. Women were gashed in the chest, babies were cut on the hands and feet, old people were killed and plundered."

I've watched a lot of Tiny Desk concerts over the years. It's good to see musicians in the raw, away from stage lighting and backing tracks — as if they've just stopped by an office to play over a lunch break, with desk-bound employees watching on. The performances should expose flaws, but instead they tend to expose musicians being casually brilliant, like the members of Ensemble Signal, who certainly play these pieces beautifully.

Foreign aid, capacity building and climate change
The capacity to address climate change
Developing countries have contributed negligibly to the present climate change problem but are the most vulnerable to its negative effects, bearing 70–80 per cent of the costs of environmental damage. Developing countries need to pursue a path that achieves harmony between economic development and environmental conservation. However, even when the developing countries have the necessary financial and technological resources, many of them lack the capacity to do so.
Capacity constraints in developing countries are a serious impediment to the pursuit of low-carbon development. These countries need effective individuals, organizations, and political and economic systems that enable them to make more effective use of resources. By providing training, education, incentive structures, and resources foreign aid can play a role in strengthening capacities in developing countries.
Fundamentals of effective programmes
Capacity building programmes have the best chance of succeeding when they are country-driven, include a wide range of national stakeholders, and involve a high degree of in-country ownership. Such activities can translate into raised awareness of environmental issues, as well as heightened activities for mitigation of climate change and increased capacity for adaptation, which in turn contributes to a country's sustainable development.
In addition, donors must ensure that the internal resources and competence of aid recipients are sufficient to implement their interventions.
Sharing information
The global nature of climate change makes the exchange and sharing of information and expertise at all levels especially beneficial in order to promote best practices and facilitate climate-related research. This requires the establishment of information databases in developing nations, where gaps in capacity currently exist for data collection, dissemination, and accessibility by the international community.
Capacities have also been strengthened in developing countries for international co-operation, collaboration, and networking, which facilitate climate information sharing and pave the way for international north-south and south-south co-operative climate research.
In addition, monitoring, reporting, and sharing of information on capacity-building activities are important for improving the effectiveness of future aid interventions.
It is also important to promote co-operation among capacity-building projects. Before the start of any programme, donors should co-ordinate to reduce duplication. A climate change capacity-building co-ordination centre can facilitate information exchange. Policy makers in beneficiary countries should take the lead with donors in capacity-building efforts to harmonize donor support around their own priorities.
Building the knowledge and drive for change
Policy makers are likely to assign lower priority to addressing climate change than to other domestic problems. It is therefore important to work with the policy makers responsible for the design and implementation of development strategies to inform them of the risks of and possible solutions to climate change.
More efforts are also required to raise public awareness about the urgency of tackling climate change. These could include educational programmes as well as specific scholarship programmes to encourage research on climate change.
Scaled-up capacity-building support is urgently needed to deal with the shortage of climate change professionals in Africa, especially at the PhD and postdoctoral levels. This is viewed as one of the critical impediments to the dissemination of climate-related information and knowledge, and the conduct of scientific climate research. PhDs and postdoctoral researchers could also contribute to furthering the standard of education in the least developed countries, which lack sufficient professional teaching staff for undergraduate and postgraduate study on climate change.
Given the significant impact of climate change they experience, representatives of the least developed countries can play a strong role in international climate negotiations when they have the relevant capacity. Therefore, additional aid efforts could support policy makers' ability to take part in these negotiations.
Integrating capacity-building into broader programmes
Capacity-building activities should not be isolated events, but rather an integral part of climate aid programmes. Capacity-building relates to many support arrangements and should be part of programmes such as climate change adaptation and mitigation, response measures, green technology transfer, and development of low-carbon market mechanisms.
Climate change capacity-building programmes should be long-term and flexible, able to adapt to changing circumstances and emerging challenges. This requires sustainable financial resources.
Promoting green technology
In spite of the progress being made in capacity in developing countries for adopting clean technology, it is clear that greater efforts are still needed. Donors should invest more to develop local capacity to support the diffusion of green technology. This includes both supporting the ability to access and apply clean technology in developing countries, and enabling the proper conditions for adoption of the technology—overcoming financial barriers, market failures, and technology design such as adaptation to local conditions.
This Research Brief is based on the WIDER Working Paper 2013/46 'Foreign aid for climate change related capacity building' by Zexian Chen and Jingjing He.

Stephen Pearcy: 'Smash'
Released on January 27, 2017 (Frontiers Music Srl)
What I really enjoy about sleaze rock is that some of the people who were involved in creating the genre back in early 1980s are still around playing live and recording new music. The story of this genre truly has its legends — genuine rock and roll survivors. One such man is Mr. Stephen Pearcy. This particular gentleman who is a vocalist, and one of the driving forces behind the multi-platinum selling sensation Ratt, really carved his name in the annals of rock music.
You may like him or not but this man has seen it all in rock n' roll — the ups, the downs, the filled in arenas, and sold out tours, as well as playing to a handful of people in run down hellholes. One thing which sets Pearcy apart from really every other singer in this genre is his really unique vocal delivery. As pointed above, you can like it or not, and I know a lot of people think his singing was Ratt's low point, but I believe that along with the guitar delivery from Warren DeMartini and Robbin Crosby, Pearcy's vocals created this legendary LA band's unique style and distinguished it from the rest.
The last record I heard Pearcy sing on was Ratt's powerful comeback album Infestation, which was released back in 2010. Since then, the band pulled what was as close to a full possible reunion, getting original bassist Juan Croucier back in the fold (original guitarist Robbin Crosby passed away in 2002), only to implode and break up a few years back, mostly due to internal conflicts between the band's loudmouth drummer Bobby Blotzer and, really everybody else involved. Blotzer pulled what was understood by many of the fans (including me) as a hijacking of the band's name and toured with a set of hired guns under the Ratt moniker, only to apparently lose a key motion in court by the end of 2016. This carved the way for a new album by Pearcy, DeMartini, Croucier together with Carlos Cavazo on guitar and whomever they will choose to sit behind the drum kit. But before that, Pearcy decided to release an album of his own solo material, which was written mostly during the time when the real Ratt was on hiatus and he was performing as a solo artist.
A fruition of those sessions is in my opinion one of the first most anticipated releases of 2017 in sleaze rock genre — Smash. The record was done with Pearcy's backing band with some of whom, for instance guitarist Eric Ferentinos, Pearcy has a long collaboration relationship, spanning even over a decade.
The album compromises of 13 original tunes. The impression I got after listening through this record is that it is really a walk through Pearcy's memory lane. It has some tracks which bare a crazy resemblance to Ratt's original sound, like "Ten Miles Wide" and "Jamie" where guitars are really making a throwback to the Crosby and DeMartini style of dual play. There are songs which remind me much more of Pearcy's solo efforts like "Hit Me With A Bullet," "Lollipop" and the excellently energetic "Dead Roses." There is a track called "Shut Down Baby" which could be probably on the ill-fated 1996 RATT's Collage album as it reminds me of "Steel River" which was also a rerecording of Pearcy's original tune "Railbreak." There is even one track — "Want Too Much" which could fit on Pearcy's former band Arcade's sophomore effort, and often forgotten A/2 release. Finally, there is also a complementary power ballad "Summer's End." So in my opinion, the only area Pearcy didn't explore here are his industrial like attempts from his Vertex days in the late '90s.
All in all, this record is very versatile, and the songs are quite strongly written. The standout tracks to me are the aforementioned Ratt sounding tracks, as well as "Dead Roses" and the equally energetic "Passion Infinity." There is not really much of a low down here. To me, maybe the semi-acoustic, country-like "What Do You Think" is weaker than the other tracks but it is not a tragedy by any means.
Therefore, overall, this album in my opinion is a very versatile, yet still a very rock oriented record. Diehard Ratt fans should be satisfied and as well should general hard rock aficionados. I find this record a welcome preparation before the new upcoming Ratt record, which bearing in mind the last collaboration between DeMartini and Pearcy, might just be a contender for Sleaze Roxx's Top 10 Albums of 2017 if released this year.

Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin
Lingua disponibile: ingleseThe Akademie für Alte Musik, Berlin was perhaps the first period-instrument orchestra founded behind the Iron Curtain, and it remains a leader in the field today. The group has specialized in the music of Bach and other composers of the German Baroque but has also performed and recorded Italian and French music, both instrumental and operatic. The Akademie für Alte Musik, Berlin (the Berlin Academy of Early Music) arose in 1982 in what was then East Berlin. Its members were young local players who had become interested in the burgeoning historical performance scene in the West and sought to emulate it by experimenting with old instruments. After a prolonged rehearsal period, they made their debut in 1984 at Berlin's Schauspielhaus theater. Organized as a cooperative, they stood partially outside East Germany's cumbersome state musical bureaucracy, and they soon found bookings beyond Berlin at such events as the Handel Festival in the city of Halle. After German reunification, the group's fame became international, and their performances and recordings were marked by collaborations with such international stars as Dutch keyboardist Ton Koopman, soprano Cecilia Bartoli, and Belgian conductor René Jacobs. The group has appeared on tour at Carnegie Hall in New York, and the orchestra earned a Grammy award in 2002 when it backed Bartoli on an album of arias by Christoph Willibald Gluck. At home, the orchestra, often using the acronym AKAMUS, is a major part of Berlin's cultural life, presenting some 100 concerts a year. The group varies in size but has a core membership of about 30 players. Another by-product of German reunification was a rapid expansion in the orchestra's recording career. AKAMUS recorded for Berlin Classics and Capriccio in the early 1990s and then was signed to the French label Harmonia Mundi, releasing a recording of Bach's secular cantatas relating the story of Phoebus und Pan, with Jacobs as conductor, in 1996. That recording, like several others by the group, was made with Berlin's RIAS Kammerchor. The orchestra has recorded more than 50 albums for Harmonia Mundi, including a set of Bach violin concertos with German violinist Isabelle Faust in 2019.

For Celia Weiss, music isn't simply about an instrument or performing a song perfectly. It's about sharing a song with other people.
That's why she moved to Elkhart in 1970 to teach music at North Side Middle School.
"I'm a people person and I love working with people. Being an organist and event pianist can be lonely because you practice by yourself," Weiss said. "I wanted to share my skills with kids, and my love of music."
Her desire to share music with others sparked when she was a kid. Her parents were both music teachers, so she was playing the piano by age 2. She became a church organist in eighth grade and started a youth choir a year later. It was no surprise that she majored in music education when she enrolled at Manchester College.
Over the years, Weiss has also taught at Goshen schools, Goshen College and Indiana University South Bend. She was the coordinator of the world-renowned Toradze Piano Studio for a few years as well.
Now, Weiss is the director of music and organist at First Presbyterian Church on Beardsley Avenue. When she took the job in 1975, she started an adult choir and three youth choirs for kids from kindergarten through high school.
"I've expanded the music program here to be inclusive, to create confidence, so people can be comfortable with themselves and expand who they are, through the stage," Weiss said. Her choirs perform a Christmas musical and spring musical every year and she delights in watching each performer grow in their role. "If they're a sheep, I say, 'be the best sheep you can.' They become comfortable in their own skin."
When Weiss teaches organ at IUSB, students come to First Presbyterian Church for their lessons. Weiss loves the pipe organ there, which she calls "magnificent," and the church's sanctuary was built especially for concerts.
The carpet on stage doesn't soak up sound and the acoustics in the room — between the stained glass, brick walls, slate floors and marble — allows spoken words to be heard throughout the hall without the need for microphones. The sanctuary has its own sound system for contemporary musicians, but it isn't always needed.
Being the organist at First Presbyterian Church has led to other opportunities for Weiss to perform locally. The same people who rebuilt the church's pipe organ also rebuilt the historic 1924 Kimball organ at The Lerner Theatre. Weiss performs on that organ about four times a year during Lunchtime Live! shows.
She loves playing on the Kimball organ because of the bells and whistles that allow her to make various non-organ sounds while playing the music, like a telephone ringing or a train whistle.
"I play 'Yellow Bird' and the organ has two bird sounds. One is a higher bird sound coming out of one of the chambers and on the other side is bird two. I play in a way that it sounds like they're talking to each other," Weiss said. She can play piano, guitar or even drum sounds on the pipe organ if she wants to. "It's the king of instruments because it's an orchestra in itself."
Though she's been playing organ for decades and has been playing The Lerner's organ for years, Weiss still managers to learn new things on it. She's always trying new sounds.
"I like adding humor to some of the standard things, like Bach," she said. "Some of my organ colleagues say you only play the way an organ composer meant it to be. I don't. I find ways to make it appealing to a younger generation."
When Weiss meets with brides getting married at First Presbyterian Church, many think that the organ is only capable of "Here Comes The Bride." But she can take requests for almost any song and she does her best to arrange an organ version of it.
"Those kind of requests inspire me," she said. "How can I make it personal?"
Weiss also plays songs at funerals for an Elkhart funeral home. She meets with the families and plays songs the loved one knew and loved the most, if she can.
"That's something that I can give, that's something I can do again to make it personal," she said. "I feel like i'm making a difference during their grief."
Ultimately, it all comes back down to the people for Weiss. "Music and people. That's why i've loved my choir experience so much," she said. "Working with the funeral home, working with brides, working at The Lerner. That's fun."
Besides the job, Weiss didn't know what would be in store for her when she moved to Elkhart those 47 years ago, but she calls it "lucky" that she did.
"I just fell into the right place," she said. "I'm an adventurer. I could be happy anywhere but I love Elkhart. I love the people. It's a hometown and yet, we're expanding."
Weiss likes seeing new shops pop up on Main Street and is eager to see the impact of the new high rise apartments going in on Elkhart Avenue, as well as other planned construction projects.
"Elkhart is expanding downtown. That's exciting for me because I saw what it used to be and I see what it is now. I see it as opportunities that are opening up for people. I'm excited about that."

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Providing relief for an outdated and overtaxed jail system in Marion county is the goal behind a new facility dedicated during a ceremony downtown.
It's called the Reuben Engagement Center.
The facility, located in the same building as the Arrest Processing Center on E. Market Street, will provide shelter, medical detox, mental health evaluations and referrals to not just the city's homeless, but addicted and mentally ill individuals.
It happens every day round the clock. Police are called to help control someone suffering from substance abuse or mental illness.
Far too often those people end up behind bars at the Marion County jail.
Carl Rochelle says the opening of the center is intended to provide another option.
"But not just a different option. Not a way to avoid being arrested, but a way to get help," said executive director Carl Rochelle.
This center which includes 20 beds specifically for the homeless and another 10 beds for those brought in by police also has medical space to offer treatment and refer those in need to social service programs instead of shipping them straight to jail.
"This is two-fold. We're helping individuals. We're also helping the criminal justice system focus on true emergencies," said Rochelle.
Mayor Joe Hogsett truly believes reforming the criminal justice system means rethinking how the city helps those in need.
"This center will provide a safe space for those in our community who need it most," said Hogsett.
Hogsett announced plans in December to overhaul the way Indianapolis handles arrests and incarcerations. The recommendations came after an exhaustive seven-month long study into reforms of the Marion County criminal justice system and an outline for construction of a new jail.
His report called for changes at every level; from initial 911 calls and dispatches, to booking referrals and incarcerations.
"As I stand in this new facility at the beginning of this new year, talking about this type of new approach to criminal justice, I am reminded and you should be as well, we have undertaken a daunting task," Hogsett added.
The Engagement Center has been in the works since 2002 when Indianapolis first adopted a blueprint to combat homelessness in the city. Now operational, Hogsett says it will be staffed by medical personnel trained to deliver immediate, non-emergency care and "necessary wraparound services" for individuals who battle substance abuse, mental illness and homelessness.
"Facilities like the Reuben Engagement Center will allow us to divert these individuals who most need our help from the cyclical punishment that currently exists in our criminal justice system," Hogsett added.
"40 percent of those in jail have mental health issues. 40 percent. So hopefully we can reduce the population, get them treatment and save money for taxpayers," said city-county councilmember LeRoy Robinson.
Robinson hopes the new center saves the city money by helping addicts and the mentally ill get services they need to avoid repeated trips to jail or the hospital.
"Folks at home should know this benefits the community in the long run. Our goal is to help people get better," said Rochelle.
When it's open the center will be able to accommodate 30 beds at any given time. The hope is to have the center up and running in just the next couple of days.

New Year, New Project
So here we are, one week into the new year. What are everyone's goals and resolutions? How are they going so far? Good I hope!
New things will be happening with Elizabeth Marie Photography over this next year and I'm super excited! One of the new things is a new project I'm taking on. I decided to try something different and instead of doing a 365 photo-a-day project like I've done in the past, I am doing a 52 week self portrait project with the main theme being motherhood/parenthood. It's not a strict theme by any means and I already plan on straying from it here and there hehe. 😜 My goal is to do a blog post each week showcasing the self portraits I took that week.
Have a wonderful Sunday, I hope you enjoy my first week's self portraits, and have a great week!
See Week One's self portraits below.
January 2nd-
Me playing on the ground with my two month old. She was making some pretty goofy faces at me. 😄 Biggest sister joined in too.
January 4th-
After taking my initial week one self portrait, I wanted and craved to do more. So when the kids were somehow magically all napping at the same time and I had like two seconds to myself, I ran and took this.
January 6th-
My two month old was crying the whole time I was trying to defuse my two year old's screaming tantrum. Omg can you say noise overload. I wanted to go and hide so bad lol.
After everything calmed down I had this creative urge in me and wanted to take a self portrait while screaming (plus the light coming in the bathroom window was ahhmazing). I didn't actually scream though because it would've been crazy loud and I didn't wanna restart the kids' scream fest. even though I didn't scream for real, the act of fake screaming felt really good haha.

| 8.4°C Belfast
Some of the world's biggest stars and richest people could soon be living the high life when they jet into Northern Ireland.
Private plane specialist Jet Assist is planning to build a glitzy new £2.7m VIP business centre at Belfast International Airport, making way for a flood of top-end private jets to touch down here.
The new facility will cater for pop stars, Hollywood celebs and some of the world's wealthiest people.
Those travelling across the Atlantic and from even further afield will be able to avail of luxury surroundings and pass through security and Customs in the privacy of the new bespoke business centre.
The company currently handles around 500 planes through its existing, much smaller hub.
But boss Ian Morrow wants to increase air traffic, with plans for up to 2,000 planes passing through each year.
And while he wouldn't be drawn on the details of his exclusive clientele, it's understood the business handles a large bulk of the stars who come to Belfast to perform at the Odyssey Arena.
In recent years that number has included the likes of Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Lionel Richie and Katy Perry.
"We would handle stars coming into Northern Ireland, and golf is also big for us; we look after lots who come in, trying to catch a glimpse of Rory McIlroy," Mr Morrow said.
"We handle some serious VIPs as well as business people, we will charter aircraft and also find aircraft on behalf of customers.
"This new complex will include boardrooms, bedrooms for crew, as well as lounges, so people can fly into Northern Ireland, meet at our facility, and then fly back on their jet."
The new project will include a 44,000sq ft hangar capable of holding a commercial-sized Boeing 767 jet and a 22,000 sq ft office complex. The glass-clad two-storey facility will also boast lounges, kitchens, a flying school operation as well as a VIP security screening suite.
It is due to be completed by summer 2017.
The man behind the business, 28-year-old Fermanagh native Mr Morrow, worked his way up from refuelling planes at the age of 18 to running his own private jet handling company for the past six years. His top-end VIP experience deals in a range of pricey luxury private jets, including Bombardier Global Express and Gulfstream aircraft.
And the cost of a private jet return from Belfast to New York? Anywhere from £80,000.
"You can land your jet, drive right into the hangar and get straight into your car," Mr Morrow said. "The new facility will have a curved front completely made of glass. We are also trying to get a Boeing 777 engine housing for the reception area.
"Upstairs there is the boardroom, bedrooms and offices, while downstairs it will be private lounges, coffee and drinks, as well as a large kitchen for VIP catering."
He's banking on a big surge in business when Northern Ireland finally gets handed the ability to set its own rate of corporation tax.
That is due to come into effect in April 2017.

Are partners allowed to lick each other's private parts?
Is it permissable in Islam while having sexual intercourse with my partner are we allowed to lick each others private parts! if no please explain
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu 'alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Human being by nature were created with strong carnal desires. These desires should be fulfilled in a dignified manner.
Shariah strongly emphasizes on shame and modesty. Fulfilling sexual desires according to Shariah, is rewarded by Almighty Allah Subhana wa Ta'ala. One may also be gifted with legitimate children from this action.
One should practice deeds that will gain the pleasure of Allah Subhana wa Ta'ala. Good deeds leads you to Jannah and obscenity leads you away from Jannah.
Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi wa Salam says to go ahead and do as you please if you do not have any shame.[1]
When sexually aroused the body discharges impure fluid. There is a strong possibility that this impure fluid will enter the mouth of your partner if oral sex is practiced. This is amongst the reasons why the Fuqaha have ruled that oral sex is Makruh Tahrimi (reprehensible).
The mouth is a part of the body which is used for the recitation of the Quran and zikrullah and to hymn the praises of Almighty Allah Subhana Wa Ta'Ala. It is disliked that it should be used to consume any form of impurity.
Oral sex is prohibited under all circumstances and in any form, whether it is with the back or the front private parts.

Darul Iftaa Buiding Project
Assalāmu `alaikum Warahmatullāhi Wabrakatuh,
We make Du'aa you are well. The Darul Iftaa was established in the year 2011. The fundamental objective of the Darul Iftaa is to train Ulama from various parts of the world to become Muftis. In this world of scientific calculations and technological advancements, economic confusion and political disarray, a Mufti is trained to understand and analyze current situations and provide leadership for the Ummah. There is a vacuum of competent Muftis in various parts of the world. The Ummah lacks leadership. There are currently twelve students who are studying at the Darul Iftaa. They are from United States of America, United Kingdom, Mozambique, Jamaica, Zambia, Canada and South Africa. There are many Ulama from many parts of the world who have applied to study the Iftaa course. They could not be accommodated due to lack of adequate facilities. The Darul Iftaa has therefore embarked on an expansion project.
The Darul Iftaa requests your generous contributions for the expansion project. The building project has already begun and is expected to be completed within the next three months. This is indeed a great opportunity for you to earn Sawab e Jariyah in the Aakhirah. This is a tree with many branches bearing sweet fruits for your Aakhirah. Insha'Allah. The Darul Iftaa banking details are as follows:
Bank: FNB Bank
Account#: 62347912778
Branch: 221126
(The Darul Iftaa is registered and has the following PBO exemption number: 930039227 – 3 May 2012)

What to do when you hate cooking – Little luxuries
"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood, and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea." – Antoine de Saint-Exupery I came across this quote in a book I love entitled, An Everlasting Meal, by Tamar Adler….

Choice tastes good!
We all like to have choices! When it comes to food, having a little choice can be the difference between grumpy eating and enthusiastic eating, especially with kids who are picky eaters. One easy solution is to follow the model of make-your-own Sundays and apply it to dinner food: Make your own pasta extravaganza –… [Read More]

I am a firm believer that with the right, high-quality ingredients anyone can put together a satisfying meal. Yes, there are techniques you can learn and countless complex dishes, but a meal of a few good cheeses, olives, baguette, and wine can also be fabulous.

[Video] Trace Adkins to Piers Morgan – "I Wouldv'e Slapped the Sh** Out of You"

Mondays are never fun, so to make today better here is a video of country music star Trace Adkins humiliating CNN talk show host Piers Morgan on the Celebrity Apprentice, aired earlier this year.
Adkins, an adamant Second Amendment supporter as well as a lifetime NRA member, may have been aware of Morgan's anti-gun stances at the time, perhaps helping to spark the exchange.
The season was filmed from Fall 2012 – Spring 2013, so it is unclear if Morgan had launched into full anti gun mode as of the filming as he did following the Sandy Hook shootings.
One thing that is clear is that Adkins isn't the biggest fan of Morgan, who beat him on a previous iteration of the Celebrity Apprentice.
Adkins continues to be a strong supporter of gun rights despite having been shot through the heart and both lungs by his ex-wife.
Adkins ended up winning this iteration of Celebrity Apprentice.
Should Adkins actually act on the exchange, it wouldn't be the first time Morgan was man-handled by another celebrity. Morgan was famously punched in the face by Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson.
Here is a video of Clarkson talking about that incident.

Bloomberg Media Names New Global Chief Revenue Officer
Keith Grossman was previously the company's head of U.S. sales
Publishing vet Keith Grossman has had a busy few years. Just over two years ago, the Condé Nast alum left a more than decade-long career at Wired to join Bloomberg as publisher of Bloomberg Digital and Digital Products. Last fall, he was promoted to Bloomberg Media's U.S. head of sales. And as of today, he's set to become the company's new global chief revenue officer.
Grossman joined Bloomberg in July 2014, not long after Justin Smith took over as Bloomberg Media CEO following a successful run as president of the Atlantic Media Company. Under Smith, Bloomberg expanded its editorial coverage, overhauled its website and completely reorganized its sales strategy, which entailed retraining the company's entire sales team to sell across platforms rather than focusing on specific silos like print, digital or TV.
Smith told Adweek via email that he "pursued Grossman for a decade" before finally getting him to make the move to Bloomberg. "Keith is the definition of extreme talent—brilliant, curious, creative, relentless and always on," Smith added. "I am thrilled he will take charge of our global sales and marketing efforts and look forward to a remarkable run under his leadership."
As Bloomberg's digital publisher and, since last fall, as head of U.S. sales, Grossman helped grow the company's revenue by double digits. And things are continuing to look up for 2016. According to a memo Smith sent to staffers yesterday, total year-over-year global revenue and global ad sales revenue were both up 10 percent through July, while U.S. ad sales revenue grew by 32 percent.
In his new role, Grossman will be responsible for leading the company's multiplatform sales organization globally while continuing to develop innovative revenue models and opportunities in new markets, per Bloomberg. He will report to chief operating officer Jacki Kelley.
"He is a tireless leader, full of ideas and innovation, which is what clients require most," Kelley told Adweek. "He knows how to front a sales force in order to bring the best ideas to clients across lots of different industries and at many different levels of agencies and clients … I think the most important thing moving forward will be keeping the momentum we have and to continue to bring really differentiating ideas to clients."
Grossman replaces former CRO Paul Caine, who announced his departure earlier this summer. Caine, an ex-Time Inc. executive, spent two years at Bloomberg where he helped lead the sales reorg.

Forum Post: Constitutional Crowdsourcing
Posted 7 years ago on Jan. 12, 2013, 5:09 p.m. EST by Builder
This content is user submitted and not an official statement
Iceland once more shows how democracy can work in the age of the internet and free speech.
(quote/) Voters in Iceland have responded favorably to the government's offer to let them participate in drafting the nation's new constitution.
According to GigaOm, the idea to let citizens chime in online, namely via Facebook and Twitter, was hatched by 25 people on the Constitutional Council, which was tasked with devising a new constitution. The council utilized ideas it found online and wove them into a draft constitution that was delivered in July.
The next step toward implementing these Web-based suggestions was a national referendum. Indeed, citizens approved, by a two-to-one margin, that the new constitution be based on the crowdsourced draft.
The parliament will now decide if that draft will be officially adopted as the national constitution.
GigaOm attributes this extreme brand of participatory democracy to the lingering effects of the financial crisis, which ravaged Iceland's banks and government. Thus did new lawmakers opt to go the open route -- first with the Icelandic Modern Media Initiative, which is fiercely protective of free speech and whistleblowers, and then with constitutional crowdsourcing.(unquote)

Since the school year began, student activists at New York University have been waging a public war with the school's administration over what they see as predatory efforts to squeeze cash out of students. And just two weeks ago, university officials appeared to cede some ground when they agreed to pay some housing costs to an undergraduate they had previously threatened to expel if she didn't shell out thousands to live in campus housing.
But now members of the Student Labor Action Movement (SLAM) are claiming the university hasn't been paying some of its student employees for months – and NYU's graduate employees labor union (GSOC) filed a grievance last month with the same complaint.
Haley Quinn, an NYU senior and SLAM organizer isn't sure how many students haven't been paid, but she and other student organizers keep hearing the same story. "Not only are they not paying them enough, they're not paying them," she says. "It's an example of NYU not respecting its student workers."
Non-payment is also affecting the university's graduate student workers according to Patrick Gallagher, an executive board member of Local 2110, the United Auto Workers chapter that includes NYU graduate employees.
"The local is working with graduate employees who have filed a grievance against NYU because NYU has violated our contract by delaying pay," says Gallagher. "A lot of people haven't been paid since August. There's no excuse for that."
It was not immediately clear why paychecks would be delayed – and neither the union nor SLAM said they have received an official response from the university. The current pay flap comes a year after members of GSOC threatened to go on strike, demanding higher wages, as well as a new contract that included a larger child care benefit, free health insurance for students and their dependents, and a tuition fee waiver for all Ph.D employees. The two sides reached a five-year agreement in March.
NYU processes between 3,000 and 6,000 student employee checks each month, and acknowledges there are students with "pay discrepancies." Still, university officials wouldn't offer much detail on why checks weren't going out. "The university is working diligently to identify the issues in each student's case," writes Matt Nagel, NYU's director of public affairs. "We cannot promise a check will be issued until the needed information is collected from the students' supervisor. We understand why this delay would frustrate anyone involved and we're working to get these issues resolved as soon as possible."
But at least one student says she filled out the requisite paperwork and still hasn't gotten a response – or a paycheck.
"It's frustrating when I have to choose between buying a week's groceries or buying textbooks for midterms," says a student employee who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The senior politics major says she's owed roughly $600 – but noted the university paid her regularly until the fall semester rolled around. "I know $10 an hour isn't a lot of money," she adds, "but it's my only stable source of income."
SLAM is planning a sit-in at 3 p.m. on Friday at the NYU Welcome Center, where members plan to demand a meeting with Michele Zarrella, the school's director of payroll. Organizer Robert Ascherman says the protest is part of a campaign to bump student wages to $15 an hour – but this particular sit-in is about something more basic.
"The first student who told us about it said, 'if I didn't have a meal plan, I'd literally be starving,'" Ascherman says. "There's no end to the greed and evil that is NYU."

Purpose-Built Performance - Introducing the All-New 2016 Star Series
Game Changed. Again
Since its introduction back in 1967, the Bell Star has long represented the standard in head protection. Revered as the first full-face helmet on the market, the Bell Star inspired an industry to pursue the science of head protection. That obsession with helmet innovation continues today. The new Bell Star is more than an evolution of its predecessor. It's a complete rethinking of what a race helmet should be, driven by the essential needs of the modern racer.
Reinvented Field of View - The 2016 Star offers an entirely new viewport creating better vertical and lateral field of view and even greater head-check visibility.
Field Tested and Developed - Working with professional riders on the track is the best way to understand the challenge and generate solutions quickly.
Optimized Aerodynamics - Using our state-of-the-art wind tunnel, we fine-tuned the Star's aerodynamics with advanced riding simulations.
More Sizes, More Performance - Offering 6 EPS and 5 shell sizes allows a more proportional fit and improved performance fit and improved performance, especially at high-speeds.
Broaden Your Horizon
Panovision Viewport Increases Field of View
No matter what or how you ride, one factor remains constant: the need for maximum visibility. Whether racing or going on a simple ride in the mountains, the ability to make safe headchecks and see obstacles clearly is critical. The Panovision viewport in the 2016 Star offers riders additional vertical and lateral visibility over the previous Star and more traditional viewports. This allows the rider to see better in a tight or tucked position and make safer lane changes and head-checks.
Purpose Built: Raceview vs Streetview
The 2016 Star features two unique profile shapes for two distinctly different types of riding. The Raceview profile used on the Pro Star and Race Star uses an orientation specifically optimized for a tucked, more compact position. Conversely, the Streeview profile used for the Star is designed for a more upright, sport or touring position.
The Lightest, Most Advanced Race Helmet on the market, packed with cutting edge technology to earn the spot on thepodium.
Flex Impact Liner - A first-of-its kind, three-layer impact liner designed to manage energy from three potential impact scenarios: low, mid and high-speed.
TeXtreme® Carbon Shell - Using TeXteme® ultra-thin carbon fibre weave, we engineered one of our lightest and strongest shells ever.
Virus® CoolJade Power Mesh Liner - Designed to withstand with rigors of hard use in extreme conditions, the Virus liner allows athletes to stay cool, keep comfortable and beat the funk.
Magnesium Magnetic Cheekpads - Allows for easy removal of the pads for washing and enables emergency responders to easily remove the cheekpads first before removing the helmet following an impact.
TeXtreme® Carbon Fibre
Introducing the Next Generation of Shell Innovation
This ultralight and incredibly strong carbon fibre technology is currently used in today's most advanced Formula 1 cars and racing boats and now, in the 2016 Pro Star. It's 20% lighter than conventional carbon fibre and reduces weight without sacrificing strength or stiffness.
TeXtreme®'s Patented Formula
· Straighter fibers with reduced crimp optimize and strengthen the composite.
· The Spread tow structure makes it possible to achieve thinner laminates.
· Lower crimp reduces the amount of excess plastic, thereby minimizing weight.
Flex Impact Liner
The Progressive Protection of the Flex Impact Liner
The 2016 Pro Star and Race Star feature our revolutionary Flex impact liner. Designed to manage energy from impacts big and small, the Flex liner uses 3 unique materials at different densities to manage low, mid and high energy impacts. Using expanded polyolefin (EPO), a soft and flexible low-density polymer for low-speed impacts, with EPP and EPS layers for mid to high-speed impacts, we have a progressive impact liner that works incredibly well to manage impacts across the spectrum of crash types.

BELL INTRODUCES THE LATEST IN HELMET TECHNOLOGY WITH ITS All-¬‐NEW PRO STAR
Field Tested and Rider Approved, The Pro Star Incorporates State-¬‐of-¬‐the-¬‐Art Technologies:Flex Impact Liner,TeXtreme® Carbon Shell, VIRUS® CoolJade™Liner,Panovision™ Viewport, Magnefusion Magnetic CheekPads
SCOTTS VALLEY, CA.(October15, 2015)–Bell Helmets, an industry leader in helmet technology and innovation, today introduced the all-new Pro Star, a complete rethinking of what a race helmet should be, driven by the essential needs of the modern racer. Field-tested by Bell's world-class riders, the sophisticated materials integrated into the Pro Star allow the rider to become one with the helmet. Don't think, just ride. As the race wears on and fatigue sets in, hot spots and helmet shifting begin to nag and detract a rider's attention from the track. That's no longer a problem with Bell's latest technologies in the Pro Star. A VIRUS® Cool Jade™ power mesh liner reduces skin surface temperatures up to 10 degrees Fahrenheit. It's designed to withstand the rigors of hard use in extreme conditions and allows riders to stay cool and keep comfortable. Plus, a new Panovision™ Viewport offers additional vertical and lateral visibility allowing riders to see better in a tight or tucked position. Along with enhanced comfort, the Pro Star has vastly improved its protection system. The Pro Star pulls from its top‐of‐the‐line dirt counterpart, Moto-9 Flex. Bell'sFlex Impact Liner features exclusive "progressive layering" technology–a system of three unique protective materials–is designed to address low-, mid‐, high-speed and rotational impact velocities to deliver Bell's most comprehensive level of protection. But the outside matters, too. The carbon shell is reinforced by TeXtreme®, an ultra‐thin carbon fiber weave, 20 percent lighter than conventional carbon fiber, making it one of Bell's lightest and strongest shells ever. Lastly, the Magnefusion magnetic cheekpad system is designed for easy removal of pads for washing and enables emergency responders to easily pull out the pads before taking the helmet off an injured rider, reducing the chance of neck injury. "Our engineers not only addressed core needs, but developed a helmet that redefines performance, safety standards and offers truly game-changing innovations," said Chris Sackett, Bell Helmets Vice President. "We're offering six EPS liners along with five shell sizes for a more proportional fit and improved performance. Further, there will be three helmets within the Star Series –Pro Star, Race Star, Star –to match your riding style." Countless hours of testing went into the development of the helmet from state-of-the-art wind tunnels for optimized aerodynamics to road testing. Bell tapped into several of its top road ambassadors for their input including Cameron Beaubier, Jake Gagne, Josh Herrin, William Dunlop and Gary Johnson. The Pro Star is the top tier helmet within the 2016 Star Series lineup. Following the Pro Star is the Race Star, made for the racer with a day job. It provides the same level of rider protection in a more affordable package. Rounding out the series, the Star is built from the Pro Star pedigree but delivers performance at a price point the everyday rider can afford.
