The Retweet Train is more than just stats. It's about reaching a larger audience...
Comment:) but is danger too...you get alot of XTRANGE accounts... #NOT_SAFE
I love the interaction with my followers it gives an opportunity to see the other side of the story--why so many people are stuck with less than a 1,000 followers.
My reply:) That is no excuse --- #morefollowers #morerelationships = #moreopportunities It's just that simple.
Obviously he wasn't qualified to be on the HTG100K Road Team.

@MisterSalesman Taking my bow. I now have 50,000 followers. All of them interesting and lovable. Thank you Bobbi, what an encourager!!
On March 18, 2015, I officially hit 100,000 followers. On this same date a year ago, I had 3,920. Now that's something you don't see every day. You can verify and follow me @MisterSalesman
What happened?
Well, in 2014 I had just published my first book The Point of No Return. The only fans I had was family and friends, which I discovered are the worse to ask to buy your book. I knew if I wanted to be an author I needed a fan base, and I needed it fast, so I turned to social media.
But here's the controversy. Most of the so called- experts said Twitter was a waste of time, and it would take too long to build a huge following. The focus should be on writing more books and keywords for Amazon search engines.
~Pablo Picasso
So I took the quote from the poet Pablo Picasso and pasted it on my computer screen, after all, I'm a rebel scientist anyway. I was up for the challenge.
My mission: Get on Twitter and learn the rules like a pro, so I could break them like an artist, and make them 1,000 times better!
I had logged in thousands of hours and experiments before I discovered the reasons why the majority of Twitter users were stuck at 1,000 followers. They were all doing the same things, and getting the same dismal results.
I discovered SIX POWERFUL FACTORS that worked: Engage, Retweet, Follow, Unfollow, Follow, Tweet.
But it wasn't just the Six Powerful Factors that made the difference because everyone knew how to do them.
It was the strategies, shortcuts, and timing that I would develop later that made them work.
Once I found the secret sauce, I began attracting followers by the truckload; 30 a day, 100 and then 400-600 a day. I even hit 1,000 3x.
Now I'm working feverishly to publish my 5th book How To Gain 100,000 Twitter Followers, (#payingitforward) to help as many people as I can do the same thing.

A Witness Comparison
by Bobby Bruno
In this paper, I am going to write about the differences between Matthew 1:18-2:23 and Luke 1:2-2:40, and how they contribute to the story of the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We have to remember that each gospel was written for a specific purpose, so each may not speak about the same details. Matthew was written for Jewish believers. For Matthew, it is stated by J. W. McGarvey in The New Testament Commentary: Vol. I - Matthew and Mark, "While Matthew maintains throughout his narrative a purely Christian spirit, he looks at everything with Jewish eyes, and keeps his own countrymen in view as his readers. But, unlike the other historians, he omits those explanations of Jewish customs and of local references, which Gentile readers would naturally expect."
Luke on the other hand was writing an account of Jesus to a friend named Theophilus, who wanted to know more of this Jesus he had been hearing about. Because of this, Luke's account of the life of Jesus Christ tends to have more details than Matthew's gospel because he had done much research to put together as complete a history of Jesus as he could. As it is stated in the Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown Commentary, "But when he (Luke) adds that "it seemed good to him also to write in order, having traced down all things with exactness from their first rise," it is a virtual claim for his own Gospel to supersede these "many" narratives." Matthew Henry also comments, "This Gospel appears to be designed to supersede many defective and unauthentic narratives in circulation, and to give a genuine and inspired account of the life, miracles, and doctrines of our Lord, learned from those who heard and witnessed his discourses and miracles."
The first thing we notice about these two sets of scripture is that Matthew begins with the birth of Jesus, where Luke begins even further back with the details surrounding the birth of John the Baptist. Luke's version is more complete in detail, as it gives the whole story of John's birth beginning with the faithfulness of hid parents towards God. In fact, Luke's story of John takes up the majority of the verses we are taking under consideration in this paper. Matthew gives no details about John the Baptist in his gospel with the exception chapter eleven where John asks if Jesus is the one the Jews have been waiting for.
Next, Matthew's account of the birth of Jesus gives us the story of Herod finding out about the birth of a new king from the wise men who were following the star to Bethlehem. He then moves right into the anger of Herod being betrayed by the wise men and his having all boys two years old and under killed, hoping to eradicate this new-born king. Luke makes no mention of the wise men or Herod in his account other than that Herod was King of Judea (vs. 1:5). He begins the birth account the census of the Roman Empire, the birth of Jesus, the shepherds visiting the stable, and then quickly moves onto the Temple story where Simeon and Anna proclaim to the new parents that their son will bring salvation to the people.
These two gospel accounts are so different from each other that, without the two together, we would not have as a complete history as we do. As far as the birth of Jesus, neither Matthew nor Luke says very much about it. In Matthew, the birth announcement seems to be mentioned as an aside, as if it were not important ("Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea when Herod was king" -- Matthew 2:1/GW). In Luke, the birth of Jesus is only given one verse ("She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger because there wasn't any room for them in the inn" -- Luke 2:7/GW) to show that Mary actually gave birth to Jesus. Other than this neither gospel says any more about the birth.
If it had not been for the Holy Spirit guiding the gospel authors our knowledge of Jesus would be incomplete. Matthew and Luke both show us that God wanted to reach every tongue and nation with His Word. The scriptures we are contending with do not give us similar accounts of the same thing; they each give us new information that opens our understanding of the gospel story. Since the gospels were written for different audiences we would expect this to be true for no two people see the same thing in the same way.
For a broader account of the scriptures we have been studying here, one must go to the other gospels for more information. Taken as a whole, all four gospels give us as complete picture of the life of Jesus Christ as we need to determine whether we believe He is God or not. Matthew and Luke both give us just enough information to help us make that decision. Where two or three are gathered, there is God amongst them. For the gospels of Jesus Christ, God chose four men and gave them His Spirit to tell us of the miracle of Christ.

A few months ago scientists in America revealed new findings equal parts fascinating and terrifying. Among people suffering cardiac arrests, experts announced, even after your body has given up the fight and your heart has pumped out its last desperate beat, there's enough residual blood sloshing around your brain to briefly keep it functioning as though your entire existence hasn't just been abruptly sucked into a cold, black eternal void. The upshot of this cheery piece of news is that those of us unlucky enough to suffer the torture of a sudden heart-attack face the added delight of hearing our own deaths being announced to our loved ones before body and mind are finally unified in shuffling off the mortal coil.
It's an unnerving prospect to get your head around, yet alone prepare yourself for, but perceiving one's own expiration is a concept of which Mark Hughes will have gained invaluable personal experience as the final seconds ticked down at the Ricoh Arena on Saturday. 2-1 down to a team in English football's fourth tier, the culmination of a run which has effectively seen his Stoke side win an average of one game per month since the beginning of the season, Hughes was already standing cross-armed under a cloud so thick it threatened to fall out of the sky. Another defeat, even having named a fairly strong starting eleven for the FA Cup, left the owners of the Bet365 Stadium no choice but to send Ray Winstone round to take the spark out of Sparky. Even the name of Coventry's winning goalscorer was Grimmer.
The necessity of Hughes' departure seems all the clearer when you consider the fact that Stoke are not a club you can simply lump into expanding class of excessively near-sighted reactionaries. This was not another episode of toys-out-of-pram and unrealistic expectations that the Premier League has become so intimately acquainted with in recent seasons. In fact, in the time since Hughes replaced Tony Pulis at what was then still called the Britannia, Swansea and Crystal Palace have had 10 different permanent managers between them. West Brom and Watford, since the latter's return to the top flight, have had eight. In short, Hughes has had long enough and, by any measure, longer than any man can expect in the current climate.
However, just as too little time can deny a manager the opportunity to fully implement his systems, convey his ideas and build a team in his own image through successive transfer windows, so too can a team's existing identity be slowly eroded via overexposure.
The truth is, that when Hughes first arrived at the club, he inherited a team very much in the mould most closely resembled today by Burnley. No big names, no star individuals, but a collective greater than the sum of its parts. Glenn Whelan was elbowing you in the ribs while the ref had his back turned. Charlie Adam was raking his studs down the back of your continental playmaker's calf, whispering menacingly in his ear and then getting even angrier when he realised his victim couldn't understand what particular combination of personal and familial insults he was employing. Your goalkeeper was being pulled and pushed, harried and harassed, penned in and buffeted from all sides as Rory Delap hurled another long throw into the mixer. Peter Crouch nodded in the winner and went off doing the robot while Dean Whitehead rubbed your drooping head into the mud. When you played Stoke you didn't expose their limitations, they exposed your soul. The question of whether a rising star was capable of delivering the goods on 'a cold Wednesday night in Stoke' perfectly distilled this idea. A trip to the Potteries became the ultimate interrogation of your resolve. A resolve that would dissolve over the course of 90 minutes.
Having established themselves solidly as lower-mid table belligerents, Hughes took the job with the mission statement of evolving this eleven-headed monster into a more refined footballing outfit. New signings began to increasingly resemble the kind of players the existing squad had previously licked their lips at seeing lined up on the opposing side. Bojan, Marko Arnautovic, Ibrahim Afellay, Xherdan Shaqiri and, most recently, Jese came in over successive seasons to mix a bit of beauty in with the beast. And for a while it worked. Having finished in the top half of the top division once since 1975, Hughes delivered three ninth place finishes on the spin by balancing a newfound potential to create with the well-honed capacity to destroy.
Yet, while last season's regression back to the 13th might have appeared a blip or understandable backward step after such a sustained run of relative success, it hinted at a deeper existential crisis which this campaign has only amplified. The balance between attack and defence has tipped excessively towards the former without you necessarily considering Stoke, philosophically, to be a particularly attacking team. This is a side left rudderless by the lack of a clear identity or consistent strategy of how to pick up points.
Stoke have scored more goals than six of the seven teams ahead of them this season yet have conceded 13 more than bottom placed Swansea. Whereas the likes of Newcastle, Huddersfield and Brighton don't have the same attacking weapons, the defensive platforms they've built have enabled them to plot and scheme their ways to narrow 1-0 wins and to cling on for those vital, momentum-sustaining points that you don't really deserve. Stoke, by contrast, have been blown away too often and too easily. When Marc Wilson, part of that original Stoke outfit, hit out at the manager for a complete absence of defence-focused training sessions on Twitter, it hinted at the inherent tension between the old Stoke and the Hughes Stoke.
As the floodgates opened at one end, the goals dried up at the other. For all the confidence placed in Saido Berahino, Mame Diouf and Eric Choupo-Moting, Stoke still look at their most dangerous when Peter Crouch is sent on, more often than not with the task of finding a late equaliser. In between these two poles, Giannelli Imbula failed to live up to the fanfare that greeted his arrival in midfield.
The problem for Stoke now is not a lack of talent but rather the lack of talent suited to their present predicament. This is a squad of players assembled to march the club onwards to higher ground, but who now instead find themselves tasked with digging themselves out of a sizeable hole. Whoever takes over, the new manager may find himself looking around the trenches wishing he had the old band of brothers back together. For all their limitations, they'd be better suited for the kind of scrap that lies ahead.

Product 4/7
The definitive replica of the infamous Sonic Screwdriver as used by our favourite Time Traveller to get himself out of all manner of scrapes. This is one of the mostly hotly anticipated prop replicas ever and for good reason. Our New Series Sonic Screwdriver is based on that used by David Tennant in Season 3 onwards and modified slightly for Matt Smith in The Eleventh Hour.
We have taken our legendary sonic screwdriver replica and clad it in a near indestructible yet screen accurate jacket of secret recipe industrial paint.
Ever since we discovered the secret to the unique paint finish of the original filming props last summer, we have been working tirelessly to recreate this finish consistently and durably. It has not been easy, but the coolest things to own never are. Rules were broken, everything we knew about paint and finishing was thrown out of the window as we worked from first principles to create a coating that was identical to that seen on screen but with the durability and hardness of real ceramic. Those sleepless nights, hundreds of man hours and substantial R&D dollars came together in an almost alchemic way to result in what we are presenting to you today: a totally unique, proprietory, custom coating that blends state of the art industrial coating know-how with exceptional durability, consistency in finish and aesthetic perfection. 10 different coats and a 20 stage process that results in a staggering 90% rejection rate combines to bring you the ultimate in screen accuracy and then some.
On his infamous blog, CT tipped the secret of the screen used paint including a set-by-step tutorial on how to achieve this at home. But that was not enough. Reference pictures of our one-off paint prototype were posted and the response was extraordinary. We knew we had to share this paint and the process by making a special limited run of our sonic screwdrivers for the loyal customers who want something both exclusive and collectible. We have therefore used up all the remaining paint we developed and produced a small, strictly limited run of sonic screwdrivers, 20 per model, in this industrial screen accurate paint. Many have already been pre-sold so the remainder that are now offered are few. These are first come, first served.
The specifications are identical to our regular powder coated sonics:
Here is a sample of what our customers have said about our sonics:
"I've nothing against the MFX sonic, and in isolation it's a good piece. However, when compared directly "hand in hand", the Celestial Toystores version is in a league of its own."
"I've seen the MFX and Celestial Toystore versions in person and firmly believe that the Celestial Toystore sonic is the all-around best out there"
"This sonic screwdriver, the one that I can't stop looking at and picking up just to hold, is absolutely fantastic. Utterly, utterly brilliant (to use a few Doctorisms). I've seen lots of prop replicas in my time and bar a scant few they've all had to make compromises either in their build quality, their colouring, their accuracy... However you have done it, this is without doubt the finest reproduction I've seen for many a year."
"I received my screwdriver today and it is stunning! The workmanship on this is simply the very best Ive ever seen in my 30 years of collecting replica props. The competition will be utterly embarrassed with their product compared to this one. I cant put into words how happy I am with this prop. This is absolutely the best Doctor Who collectible ever made!"
"This is an absolutely stunning piece of work. I can't pretend to be knowledgeable about the accuracy of the Sonic, but if someone had told me it was an original prop I wouldn't have been at all surprised. Not only does it look the part, it is so incredibly tactile and just "feels" right. If you are looking at this page, chances are you want a replica sonic, and if you want a replica sonic, you *need* this one!"
"This screwdriver is awesome; if it was any more accurate it would actually turn screws! The detail on this is amazing, its very solid and well built, and of course comes with sound which really brings the prop to life, and comes in a nice sturdy storage case to keep it safe! "
"Beautiful sonic arrived today. It is stunning. Many thanks for your hard work and devotion."
"Kick yourself if you didn't order one before they sold out."
*Whilst every effort has been taken to make sure that our paint finish is as durable as possible, we cannot warranty against damage caused by wear and tear, deliberate abuse and/or human stupidity. As such the paint finish is not covered by any warranty express or implied .

As the debt ceiling negotations were heading down to the wire, the liberal criticisms of the Tea Party representatives in Congress got more heated. By the end, there was little holding back.
Democrat representative Mike Doyle, in a meeting attended by Vice-President Joe Biden, referred to the Republicans as "terrorists" (Biden denied reports that he himself used the term). Among the liberal commentariat, there was a similar sentiment. Earlier, Tom Friedman had called the Tea Party the "Hezbollah faction" of the GOP. After the deal was struck, fellow New York Times columnist Joe Nocera wrote:
These last few months, much of the country has watched in horror as the Tea Party Republicans have waged jihad on the American people.... Their goal, they believed, was worth blowing up the country for, if that's what it took....For now, the Tea Party Republicans can put aside their suicide vests. But rest assured: They'll have them on again soon enough.
Terrorist allusions were not the only derogatory ones thrown at the Tea Partiers. Democrat Representative Luiz Gutierrez said the Republicans were "arsonists" that "must be stopped". And New York Times op-ed writer Maureen Dowd depicted the Tea Party types as monsters in a horror movie:
They were like cannibals, eating their own party and leaders alive. They were like vampires, draining the country's reputation, credit rating and compassion. They were like zombies, relentlessly and mindlessly coming back again and again to assault their unnerved victims, Boehner and President Obama. They were like the metallic beasts in "Alien" flashing mouths of teeth inside other mouths of teeth, bursting out of Boehner's stomach every time he came to a bouquet of microphones.
Obviously Dowd's lurid descriptions say more about her and her fellow liberals' fears than a level-headed assessment.
Hearing this outpouring of denunciations of so-called Tea Party extremism coming from liberals, I can't help but immediately think: what cheek. Aren't these liberals the sample people who shout "racist" when someone refers to certain Muslims as jihadists or terrorists (even when referring to those who are indeed jihadists or terrorists)? Aren't they the same people who are constantly blaming conservatives for coarsening political discourse, who criticize the lack of civility in discourse and see it coming from only one direction? Indeed, a number of commentators have pointed out this hypocrisy - for instance, see the articles by David Harsiyani (here), Charles Lane (here) and Jonah Goldberg (here).
But, as it happens, I think it is fair enough for liberals to use such terminology. That is, I think they have the right to do so, and they should not be censored, either formally or informally: their "terrorist" jibes should not be considered beyond the pale. We all know that their use of such terms are hyperbole in order to make a point - Joe Nocera is not saying that Tea Partiers literally don suicide vests. I just wish that liberals wouldn't get on their moral high horses about civility in political discourse. They certainly did so in a big way following Jared Loughner's shooting rampage in Arizona earlier this year (on this, see my article "Falsely accusing the Tea Party of murder" here , and my blog post "Observations on Obama's speech at the Tucson memorial service" here). Politicians, journalists and others in the political arena should feel free to use whatever language they like - and they will be judged on it, in terms of both content and style, in the great battle of ideas.
But that response is not the kind of response that we're hearing from American conservatives. Instead, they are taking the "terrorist" word quite seriously and appear deeply offended. For a start, they are deliberately making a big deal about Biden's supposed use the term, even though the vice-president denies it, just so they can somehow link it to the White House. Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann, a 2012 Republican candidate for president and self-professed Tea Party supporter, wants an apology. Sarah Palin thinks Biden directed the term at her even though she's not a member of congress, and has called it "quite vile". (Palin herself has played fast and loose with sticking on the "terrorist" label, like when she said Obama was "palling around" with terrorists - namely William Ayers, the former member of the sixties Weathermen.)
These responses show that there is no substantive difference between the right and left today when it comes to free speech. Both sides are highly sensitive to words, and think certain words are beyond the pale and should not be allowed. Both express deep aggrievement, and put forward their claims to moral authority on the grounds that they are victims of inappropriate words. For the right, this was most clearly highlighted in their campaign to shut down the so-called "Ground Zero mosque": their complaints were all phrased in terms a lefty PC zealot would recognize, such as "insensitive", "hurtful", etc. Today Republicans want sympathy when liberals use overblown rhetoric about "terror" tactics.
The problem is that today's Republican criticisms of the Democrats for referring to the Tea Party as "terrorists" will only reinforce our "you can't say that" culture. We end up debating what words can or cannot be used, and what constitutes civil or uncivil discourse. Democrats have their list of words, and Republicans theirs. This trend is undermining our ability to discuss freely. It's terrible for open debate, and it's just not politics.
Now, while I will defend the Democrats' right to make references to Tea Party "terrorists", I do think that their use of the term is problematic. My criticisms are about the political implications, however, rather than saying such references lower the tone and shouldn't be acceptable in polite company.
For one thing, calling the Tea Party "terrorists" for their opposition to a debt ceiling deal is really a continuation of a liberal campaign to dismiss the Tea Party as crazy. The hard line taken to the debt ceiling issue is their madness in action. Rather than attempting to answer the political points raised by the Tea Party, liberals just say that they are kooks that don't deserve to be taken seriously. This backfires on liberals, as it make them look like they are dodging the argument.
In a different era, the Tea Party faction's intransigent line might be interpeted as taking a principled stand. But in ours, it is seen as a sign of insanity. I don't share the Tea Party's politics, but I do expect politicians to develop principles and take stands. Yet, according to Obama, only "compromise" is a mark of reasonableness. In doing so, the President is effectively saying that anyone with strong views is unacceptable, not just the Tea Partiers.
Another problem with the Democrats' references to Tea Party "terrorists" is that it implies that the group is a grave extremist threat, which in turn would justify undemocratic measures to deal with. Indeed, it's striking how liberals' disappointment with the debt ceiling deal had they daydreaming about overriding congress. Former President Bill Clinton and commentator Paul Krugman, among others, say that Obama should have unilaterally raised the debt ceiling (relying on an interpretation of the 14th amendment to the constitution). Krugman believes the extremism of the Tea Party provides a rationale for such a move:
The Obama administration could have resorted to legal maneuvering to sidestep the debt ceiling, using any of several options. In ordinary circumstances, this might have been an extreme step. But faced with the reality of what is happening, namely raw extortion on the part of a party that, after all, only controls one house of Congress, it would have been totally justifiable.
It's quite revealing that a number of liberals are saying that it is acceptable to suspend the political process just because they can't get their own way. If labelling the Tea Party "terrorists" is being used to justify anti-democratic action, then it is another reason to oppose that description.
To sum up: I agree with the Democrats have the right to call Republicans "terrorists" - they should neither be formally censored by the state nor informally hounded into keeping quiet. Political discourse should be as robust and unrestricted as possible. But, at the same time, the fact that liberals feel the need to resort to such terms shows they don't have a true political response to the Tea Party, all they have is name-calling.

Over July 4th weekend, Selma's sister came back to Boston for a visit. Because she really wanted to go to the beach, she got us ferry tickets to Spectacle Island, one of Boston's Harbor Islands. Selma and I have been to Thompson Island (the island next to Spectacle island) before in our past life as resident assistants, but we've never actually been to any of the other islands. There are actually 34 harbor islands and each of them has a history dating back to the 1600's and the Civil War. Spectacle Island in particular has a varied history that included farming, a quarantine hospital, a glue factory, resort hotels and a garbage dump. Awesome!
So we started off the morning with a ferry ride out to the harbor islands. Tickets are $15 roundtrip (or $11 if you're a student) and allow you to island hop as much as you like. We made a brief stop at another island (Georges Island) but it didn't seem like there was much going on. Or as another couple put it, "we thought it would be cooler."
After an hour or so (we took the scenic route), we arrived at Spectacle Island. It's named Spectacle Island because it used to look like a pair of spectacles from the sky. But that was before it became a landfill. It still sort of looks like it now though but not as much. You can also see from the picture below that it's only a short 15 min ferry ride from Boston making a trip out here super convenient.
The island itself is pretty basic. It has a welcome center and a dock. That's about it. But they do have plenty of trails for hiking and lots of space for activities.
One of the activities being free yoga! The yoga session actually lasts for 1.5 hours and they even provide you with a mat! We didn't know that so we missed out. Selma was really sad about this.
It looked pretty intense though.
Instead, we found this picnic table overlooking the water and had ourselves a little mid-morning snack.
After snack time, we hiked on up to the top of one of the drumlins (hills). There were only two on the island, the north and the south. We hit up the north drumlin first because it offered the best views of Boston.
It was also very windy that day. I'm not sure if it's always that windy but I didn't mind because it kept us cool throughout the day.
These mounds actually increased by 36 acres during the time it was used as a land fill making it the highest point in the harbor. It was really scenic at the top with spectacular panoramic views of the city and other islands.
And if you look off in the distance, those dinosaur egg looking things are actually the waste treatment plant for all of Boston. Neat.
And this is a shot of the welcome center and the south drumlin.
And a sweet panoramic shot from the top.
Afterwards, we headed down for the DIY kite making session. I completely forgot to bring Optimus (my kite) so I was happy they offered this free alternative. The kite itself was already pre-assembled so all we had to do was decorate it.
Mine obviously included a bike and a cow courtesy of Selma.
However, because it was so windy, the paper kite didn't hold up. Oh well. We then proceeded to lay out in the sun and relax with some Blue Moons for a few hours and ponder life.
After baking in the sun for a bit, we headed down to the beach because that was the whole reason we came here in the first place.
The coolest thing about this beach was the sea glass. Because this island used to be a garbage dump, there are tons of cool artifacts that line the entire beach. We mostly found pieces of old plates and cups but it was interesting to see all the stuff that gets washed ashore.
We also stepped into the water for a bit even though it was freezing.
And finally, as we were waiting for the ferry, Selma and her sister found hula hoops to entertain themselves while I dozed off for a bit.
They clearly enjoy their hula hoops.
Then it was finally time to head back to Boston.
When we got back, we were craving real food. In particular, we really wanted pizza so we hit up Otto's in Coolidge Corner. We ordered the Roasted Chicken, Caramelized Pears & Fontina Cheese pizza and the Meatloaf, Mashed Potato & Herb pizza.
Oh. My. Gerd. They were both out of this world. Their topping combinations never ceases to amaze me.
If you are interested in getting away from the city for awhile, I would definitely suggest heading out to Spectacle Island for a day trip. The island is actually really pretty and the views are worth the trip alone. And if yoga is your thing, the class is free and looks pretty legit. Also remember to bring your student ID for discounted ferry tickets!
And with that, thanks for reading!

There is not much that can make me happier than snuggling up in something perfectly oversized and cozy. I also love pieces that I know I can transition with me into every season! This hoodie is great this winter all cozied up on the couch and leggings and slippers with a cup of cocoa. It will be great come Spring time when the air still has that fresh chill too it. I will wear it out at night during a warm bonfire with the Summer air floating all around me and I know in the Fall I can pair it with jeans and no other layers because it will keep me nice and warm all day long!
Basically this Baja Hoodie is all your dreams are made of when it comes to a minimalist closet! Which is everything I have been striving for lately! Out are the days of a million pieces of clothing and in come the days of minimalism especially in the closet! I cannot even begin to tell you just how much clothing I have gotten rid of lately. It is kind of insane! BUT this hoodie is staying put and I cannot wait to keep wearing it throughout every season.
Head on over to Flor De Luz Shop and check out all the different colours!

In the first episode of Evolution: The Series, We will be talking about the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The T Rex was a big Carnivorous dinosaur and was an opportunistic hunter, who preyed on Large Dinosaurs from Hadrosaurs, Sauropods and Armoured Dinosaurs, Like Triceratops and Ankylosaurus.
(Tyrannosaurus Rex)
Teeth and Bite Force:
The T Rex's Teeth were Mainly meant for Crushing Bone and Gripping onto Prey, and good for Getting all the nutrition from Bones, Evolving from its original Ancestors like Gaunlong and Proceratosaurus

The t Rex's Bite force is the Strongest of any other land Carnivore Ever, with Forces Ranging from 4 to 7.1 Tons of Pressure, aka from 35,000 to 69627.22 Thousand Newtons! Their Jaws are similar like Ours, they Can chew with their back teeth and grip with their front teeth, something other carnivores like Giganotosaurus doesn't have. Its Hunting Style was mainly Ambushing their Prey
A T Rex's Eyesight is Very Good, In fact its about 3 Times the Depth of a Hawk, They Mainly needed this in order to see prey from long distances to Track them.
(Tyrannosaurus Rex Eyeball)
It also Has one of the Cool Features a Dinosaur Can Have, Binocular Vision. It could Look forwards and Track moving prey easily, and Could see in 3D.
(Tyrannosaurus Rex Looking Forwards)
Speed and Agility:
The T Rex was a Very Big Dinosaur, That Isn't Really Known for its Speed, It could Run at speeds of up to 10 to 25 Miles Per Hour, Which is On the Slow Side. this was so it could maneuver out of the way of trees in time. However, the T rex was said to have been a Very Agile Large Theropod.
Its legs were Fitted with Huge Muscles, This was so it could Keep its 7-9 Ton Body Up, They were also used for Turning fast, And it needed to be, While Fighting other T Rex's and Agile Armoured prey like, Triceratops and Ankylosaurus, it Needed to be Agile to Dodge the 3 Horns of a Big beefy Armoured Herbivore like Triceratops the very hard Clubtail that Ankylosaurus Possessed. The T rex's tail was short for turning tight turns.
Body Structure:
The T Rex's Body was huge and Thick, with loads of fat and muscle, its massive lungs in its chest were meant for Endurance, it probably had air sacks to keep running after prey until it wore its prey out.
(Tyrannosaurus Rex Brain)
The T Rex had a Brain the Size of a Human Brain or Larger. The T Rex's Brain was long and almost cylindrical in shape. Despite Having a small brain Relative to its body size, the T Rex was said to have been one of the smartest dinosaurs. But its Cerebrum (The Part of the Brain For Strategy) Was Tiny. Its brain was Largely Made up of Sensory Organs. Mainly due to Smell.
The T Rex Prayed on Many Large and Small Armored Dinosaurs. Many Like:
Alamosaurus (Hunting in Groups)
T. Rex lived in a humid, semi-tropical environment, in open forests with nearby rivers and in coastal forested swamps.

She has published three web humor books and six calendars, including You Had One Job! and Photobombed. our editorial process Beverly Jenkins Updated May 28, 2019 The video sharing site YouTube is one of the most popular internet destinations. Owned by Google, the site was founded in 2005. Today, it's one of the top places for web users to upload, share, and view video clips online. Here's a rundown of the ten humor clips that have garnered the most views on YouTube. 01 of 10 The Crazy Nastyass Honey Badger This ordinary nature video got a fantastic voice-over narration by a guy named Randall, and the internet could not get enough of it. The "Honey Badger Don't Care" meme was everywhere in 2011, inspiring parodies, t-shirts, and other products based on the hilariously bad-tempered creature. Before there was Grumpy Cat, Honey Badger ruled the web. 02 of 10 Ultimate Dog Tease The "Ultimate Dog Tease" 2011 clip by Andrew Grantham features a cute little doggy who really loves food and cannot believe his owner is being so stingy with said food. Oh, and, the dog can talk. There's a reason why this video has been viewed 200 million times. 03 of 10 FailArmy's Ultimate Fails Compilation 2013 FailArmy has one of the most addictive YouTube channels around. Go back in time to the 2013 "Ultimate Fails" compilation. While every year brings the funny, the 2013 compilation is one of the most viewed humor clips on YouTube. Filled with hilarious (and often painful-looking!) fails, this is 33 minutes of pure laughter. 04 of 10 Charlie Bit My Finger Courtesy: Charlie Bit Me In May of 2007, a British father uploaded a clip of his two young sons, Harry, age 3, and Charlie, age 1. In the video, a teething Charlie bites his brother's finger, causing Harry to cry. Maybe it's the adorable British accent, or maybe it's the devilish but cherubic smile Charlie gives after chomping down on Harry's finger, but the clip is undeniably cute and funny. The clip quickly went viral and became one of the Top 25 Viral Kid Videos ever uploaded. With more than 850 million views, it remains one of the most watched videos on all of YouTube that is not a professional music video. The boys' internet fame brought real-life fame as well. Thanks to their father's continued uploads on their own channel, the family could afford to buy a larger house thanks to sales of "Charlie Bit My Finger" t-shirts, mugs, calendars, and more. 05 of 10 Ballscrash Courtesy: robix2 What's funnier than seeing a man get hit in the junk? Apparently, not much, according to the 280 million people who have watched this video of a dad getting accidentally kicked in the crotch by his toddler daughter. The best part is listening to the mom, who is filming the scene, as she giggles behind the camera. 06 of 10 NFL Bad Lip Readings Via YouTube/BadLipReading Bad Lip Readings are always funny stuff, and the 2015 and 2016 NFL edits are the best of the best! The simple act of taking clips from athlete interviews and dubbing them over with ridiculously-weird subtitles is a surefire way to get someone laughing. 07 of 10 The Sneezing Baby Panda Courtesy: jimvwmoss The internet loves animals. So the fact that this clip ranks in the top 10 most popular YouTube humor clips ever should come as no surprise. The clip is only 17 seconds long, but it's guaranteed to lighten your mood. In the video, a mother panda is chewing away on a snack while her baby naps on the ground next to her. Suddenly the baby sneezes and surprises everyone watching. 08 of 10 Evolution of Dance Courtesy: judsonlaipply In six minutes, comedian Judson Laipply performs a medley of dance moves spanning the decades. Laipply covers everything from Elvis's "You Ain't Nothin' But A Hounddog" to disco, heavy metal, the Robot, the Moonwalk, the Hammer Dance, and more. With more than 300 million views this remains one of the top-viewed videos on YouTube. It's nearly impossible not to smile when watching it. 09 of 10 I Just Had Sex (feat. Akon) Courtesy: thelonelyisland This is a fake music video created by comedy hip-hop group, The Lonely Island. In case you've forgotten, these were the same funny guys who brought you hit song spoofs like "D*ck In A Box" and "Mother Lover." The song features R&B singer Akon, performing with The Lonely Island members Andy Samberg and Jorma Taccone. You can also catch cameo appearances by celebrities Akiva Schaffer, Jessica Alba, Blake Lively, and John McEnroe. This sketch appeared on "Saturday Night Live" as a digital short in 2011. As the title suggests, the song is about some dorky guys who are very excited because they finally got to have sex. 10 of 10 Tootin' Bathtub Baby Cousins Courtesy; Flowgo As hard as it may be to believe, this completely silly video about "tooting" in the tub has received more than 265 million hits since it was uploaded. It was created by Flowgo, a group that specializes in "Cute Toons, Funny Videos, and Big Smiles." It features an animated bathtub with two babies in it; the babies faces are real photographs of infants, and they're "singing" along with a jingle about passing gas in a bathtub.

Zhengzhou neurosurgeons perform first iMRI case in VISIUS® Surgical Theatre
Feb 07, 2013, 11:30 ET
Brings cutting edge surgery and precise tumor operation platform to patient care
WINNIPEG, Feb. 7, 2013 /CNW/ - IMRIS Inc. (NASDAQ: IMRS;TSX: IM) ("IMRIS" or the "Company") today announced that neurosurgeons at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University in Zhengzhou City, China, have successfully performed the first case involving an adult male brain tumor patient using the recently installed VISIUS® Surgical Theatre.
Allowing for multiple MR scanning during brain tumor operations without compromising patient safety, the VISIUS Surgical Theatre features a high-field MR scanner that travels on demand using ceiling-mounted rails into a state-of-the-art neurosurgical operating room. As in this initial case, serial scanning gives the surgeon the ability to assess and perform further resection to remove as much tumor as possible.
With integrated technologies and control systems for imaging, patient-handling and information management, the VISIUS Surgical Theatre provides unmatched intraoperative vision to surgeons to assist in their surgical decision-making and enhance treatment precision. When not needed for intraoperative imaging, the scanner remains in a diagnostic room where it can be used for inpatient and outpatient imaging.
Zhengzhou University Hospital is the third IMRIS system installed in China. Other locations are: PLA General Hospital in Beijing and Huashan Hospital at Fudan University in Shanghai. Two other VISIUS Surgical Theatres are currently being installed at Peking Union Medical College Hospital in Beijing and First Affiliated Hospital of Jilin University in Changchun.
The day before the first procedure, Dr. Xianzhi Liu, chief neurosurgeon, reviewed the surgical suite with province health department representatives. "Since we are the biggest and leading hospital in Henan province," he said, "we have a responsibility to our patients to utilize cutting edge technology that brings the most precise surgical capabilities."
When the hospital announced purchase of the VISIUS Surgical Theatre in March 2012, Kan Quancheng, hospital president, said the suite "is the essential, leading-edge technology that will take us to the next level of research and clinical practice, especially in neurosurgery."
About IMRIS
IMRIS (NASDAQ: IMRS;TSX: IM) is a global leader in providing image guided therapy solutions through its VISIUS Surgical Theatre - a revolutionary, multifunctional surgical environment that provides unmatched intraoperative vision to clinicians to assist in decision making and enhance precision in treatment.

Cohabitees and Claims Under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependents) Act 1975
Section 1 of the Inheritance Act allows certain people to make an application to the court on the basis that a disposition of the deceased's estate (under their will and/or the laws relating to intestacy) does not make a reasonable financial provision for them.
This section was amended by the Law Reform (Succession) Act 1995 and now provides individuals who cohabited with the deceased as their spouse (including, following the Civil Partnerships Act 2004, as part of a same sex relationship) with the ability to apply and seek an order from the court for a share (or an increased share) of the deceased's estate under Section 2 of the Inheritance Act.
However, for such an individual to have standing to make an application, their cohabitation with the deceased must have complied with Section 1(1A) of the Inheritance Act. This requires that the individual: a) lived in the same household as the deceased; and b) as the husband or wife of the deceased; for c) the whole of the period of two years immediately before the date when the deceased died.
Kaur v Dhaliwal
Miss Kaur and Mr Dhaliwal had become engaged in June 2005. They lived together in a flat for 3 months from June 2006 until September 2006. However, in September 2006 Mr Dhaliwal's son moved back home to live with Mr Dhaliwal, and, due to the son's disapproval of their relationship, Miss Kaur agreed to move out of the flat. Miss Kaur and Mr Dhaliwal then lived together inanother flat for 1 year and 49 weeks from July 2007 until Mr Dhaliwal's death in June 2009.
The focus of the appeal in Kaur v Dhaliwal was to determine whether Miss Kaur had lived in the same household as Mr Dhaliwal and as Mr Dhaliwal's wife for the two years preceding Mr Dhaliwal's death and was therefore entitled to bring a claim.
The parties agreed that for 1 year and 49 weeks prior to Mr Dhaliwal's death Miss Kaur had lived in the same household as Mr Dhaliwal and as Mr Dhaliwal's wife. However, the defendants contended that Miss Kaur could not establish this for the 3 weeks prior to July 2007 (i.e. during the period where Miss Kaur and Mr Dhaliwal had been living in separate houses), and as the established period fell short of the requisite two years Miss Kaur was ineligible to bring a claim under Section 1(1A) of the Inheritance Act.
Appeal to the High Court
The High Court upheld the County Court's decision that Miss Kaur had lived in the same household as Mr Dhaliwal and as Mr Dhaliwal's wife from June 2006 until Mr Dhaliwal's death in June 2009 (which was almost 3 years) and was therefore eligible to bring a claim.
The High Court found the County Court to have correctly applied the principles arising from the Court of Appeal's decision in Gully v Dix. The Court of Appeal had held that, as the word was "household" and not "house", it was not necessarily determinate that a couple were living apart, and that such individuals would still be a part of the same household if they were tied together by their relationship.
The County Court looked at the nature of the relationship between Miss Kaur and Mr Dhaliwal and noted they had only lived in separate properties due to Mr Dhaliwal's attempt to repair his relationship with his children, that they continued to work together in Mr Dhaliwal's café, and that they remained engaged throughout. The High Court decided that the County Court was entitled to conclude that the relationship had continued in full measure from June 2006 until Mr Dhaliwal's death and that Miss Kaur was therefore entitled to make an application.
The decision will assist those individuals who wish to bring a claim against an estate despite not having lived in the same property as the deceased for the last two years of the deceased's life. This could include couples who have lived and worked in separate countries, young couples who have lived separately to save money with the goal of purchasing a home together, or elderly couples who have lived apart for health reasons.
Our Experience
Our team has considerable experience and practical knowledge in representing clients who are either bringing or defending claims made under the Inheritance Act 1975. For further information please contact Roger Peters or Anna Coakes.

- 5 noiembrie 2011. O zi istorică -
Este ziua in care oficial Casa Alba - Administraţia Obama,
raspunde la doua petiţii semnate de 5.387 si respectiv 12.078 de americani,
menite sa clarifice adevarul, dovezile detinute de Guvernul USA cu privire la
existenta extraterestrilor pe Terra, legaturilor acestora cu rasa umana, contacte,
ori detinerea de dovezi ascunse de ochii publicului.
Pentru prima data in istoria contemporana, un raspuns transant:
NU exista nicio dovada! Miturile au fost spulberate!
No Alien Visits or UFO Coverups.
The White House has responded to two petitions asking the US government to formally acknowledge that aliens have visited Earth and to disclose to any intentional withholding of government interactions with extraterrestrial beings.
"The U.S. government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the human race,"
said Phil Larson from the White House Office of Science & Technology Policy, on the WhiteHouse.gov website.
"In addition, there is no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public's eye."
5,387 people had signed the petition for immediately disclosing the government's knowledge of and communications with extraterrestrial beings, and 12,078 signed the request for a formal acknowledgement from the White House that extraterrestrials have been engaging the human race.
"Hundreds of military and government agency witnesses have come forward with testimony confirming this extraterrestrial presence," the second petition states. "Opinion polls now indicate more than 50% of the American people believe there is an extraterrestrial presence and more than 80% believe the government is not telling the truth about this phenomenon. The people have a right to know. The people can handle the truth."
These petitions come from an Obama Administration initiative called 'We the People' which has White House staffers respond and consider taking action on any issue that receives at least 25,000 online signatures. Regarding these two petitions, the White House promised to respond if the petitions got 17,000 more signatures by Oct. 22.
Larson stressed that the facts show that there is no credible evidence of extraterrestrial presence here on Earth. He pointed out that even though many scientists have come to the conclusion that the odds of life somewhere else in the Universe are fairly high, the chance that any of them are making contact with humans are extremely small, given the distances involved.
But that doesn't mean we aren't searching, there is just no evidence yet. Larson mentioned SETI (correctly noting that this at first was a NASA effort, but is now funded privately) keeping an "ear" out for signals from any intelligent extraterrestrials, with none found so far. He also added that the Kepler spacecraft is searching for Earth-like planets in the habitable zones around other stars, and that the Curiosity rover will launch to Mars this month to "assess what the Martian environment was like in the past to see if it could have harbored life."
Regarding any evidence for alien life, all anyone has now is "statistics and speculation," said Larson. "The fact is we have no credible evidence of extraterrestrial presence here on Earth."
Whether or not this will appease or satisfy any conspiracy theorists or UFO believers is yet to be seen, but it is gratifying to see the White House respond in such a no-nonsense manner.

Personal sunt incantat.
Am trait inca o zi istorica.
Am trait sa vad ceva, cu totul contrar, tuturor asteptarilor!
Extraterestrii, E.T., Alien, UFO, OZN, contacte, dovezi ascunse, nu exista!
Hmmm ... si totusi ... milioane de intrebari ... raman!

§ 10. Mr. Leslie Huckfield
asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will make a statement about class sizes in primary schools in Warwickshire.
§ Mr. Armstrong
In January 1974, 1.3 per cent. of Warwickshire's primary school classes had over 39 pupils, and 28.1 per cent. had over 35 pupils.
§ Mr. Huckfield
Has my hon. Friend yet seen the very long and detailed letter from local teachers' unions and councillors in my constituency about the need for an increased programme of school building following the cut-backs imposed by the previous administration? Will he bear in mind that my constituency is now the fastest growing part of the county of Warwickshire? Does he accept that there are some strong feelings amongst my constituents in this respect?
§ Mr. Armstrong
I have not seen the document to which my hon. Friend refers. I thank him for letting me know. I shall certainly study it carefully. We are aware of the growth of school population and are watching carefully the need for new school places.
§ Dr. Boyson
Does the Minister not agree that the real statistic these days is the pupil-teacher ratio of a school, as opposed to class size, as class size can be affected by the organisation of the school?
§ Mr. Armstrong
Yes, the pupil-teacher ratio is important. It is also important to remind the House that there is a maximum number of children that ought to be taught in one class if the children are to have the attention they need.

Health of Farmers
The principle causes of farmer's ill health are associated with manual handling, lung problems, infections and noise. Of farmers with occupational ill health, 50% suffer from chronic back pain.
To maintain good health the following should be followed:
- Reduce lifting: where possible avoid manual handling of loads. Use mechanical aids to reduce all manual handling.
- Assess load: size up the job: if it is too heavy get help or a mechanical method of lifting.
- Safe lifting: when lifting bend your knees not your back.
- Slips/trips: avoid slips and trips by keeping the farmyard and farm buildings tidy at all times. Provide adequate lighting in the farmyard and buildings.
- Wet down dust: dampen down dust with water where possible before sweeping up.
- Cover cuts: always cover cuts and abrasions with a waterproof plaster or dressing to avoid infection.
- Control vermin: put a vermin control programme in place on your farm.
- WC and washing: provide suitable washing and toilet facilities on your farm.
- Reduce noise: use earmuffs or ear plugs in noisy areas.
- Sun protection: sun protection is essential for all working in agriculture.
- Health check: visit the G.P. regularly to monitor your general health and physical well-being.

Last week Jeff Krebs and myself attended the SVG College Sports Summit in Atlanta Georgia. College sports are huge in the US. It spans (American) Football, Basketball, Baseball, Lacrosse, Athletics and many more. The size of the college sports market is mind-boggling. The NCAA alone generates around $800m a year, the vast majority of which comes from the sale of TV rights. Last year more than 27m people attended a college sports game. 55m people watched at least one college basketball game on TV. Compare that with the 10m people that watched the FA cup final and you'll get a sense of the size of this industry. Wherever such a huge market exists, there's a need for video workflows to satisfy the demand.
Video management in college sports is a marketing activity. In many (and potentially most) colleges, the production teams actually sit within the marketing departments. Therefore their focus, challenges and even language are very marketing focus. They tend to care most about share of voice, reach, ROI, and impact. Marketing metrics not to dissimilar to metrics we use at Forscene. At SVG we had the opportunity to speak to a number of colleges and partners to investigate their main challenges and see whether Forscene could help them meet their objectives. There are 2 main challenges that colleges face:
- How to better utilise their archive content
- How to get content to their 'non present' audience quickly
The archive content challenge is interesting. Colleges have thousands of hours of content that they'd like to be able to re-use and expose within their live content, or as part of their highlights reels. The challenges they face are both finding appropriate meta tagged content, and easily bringing it into their production. Our history in observational documentaries, and managing huge shooting ratios through world-class logging and metadata capabilities was of real interest. Colleges could see the benefits of searching their archive and bringing specific plays, players or events into their production quickly and efficiently.
The second challenge is one we are well aware of. How can a college better engage their social audiences by distributing their video content quickly. Forscene's integration with Facebook, YouTube and other content distribution networks means that colleges can distribute their edited content from live to on their social networks or website in under 90 seconds. They can also bring in graphics, titling, voice over and metadata to create broadcast quality content in seconds. Suddenly a traditionally workflow that would have taken them minutes or even hours can be completed, remotely, or on location in seconds. It's the difference between distributing content first and distributing content second. Any marketer will tell you that first is first and second is nowhere. Our existing sports clients that have switched to the Forscene workflow now demonstrate an additional ROI in the volume of packages they create in any given day, vs a traditional workflow, giving fans more for less.
The delegates loved Forscene. They were keen to explore the depth of the product, and like most people seeing Forscene for the first time they couldn't believe that we didn't have a dedicated high-speed connection and that the entire demonstration was completed through a standard Internet browser. We will be continuing our discussions with a number of colleges and partners and hope to grow our presence within this segment over the coming months. Suffice to say, Forscene and college sports are made for each other!

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4 (UPI) -- U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, in a brief floor speech Monday, tried to pin the pending sequester cuts on President Obama.
"This was supposed to be the day that the president submitted his budget to the Congress. But it's not coming. It's going to be late. And some reports say that it could be as long as a month late," Boehner said. "I think that's too bad. The economy could use presidential leadership right now."
In his speech, Boehner referred at least six times to the "president's sequester" or "[Obama's] sequester," Roll Call reported.
However, leaders from both parties agreed to the idea, and the House and Senate both voted to pass it, with Boehner voting for it.
The sequester was included in the Budget Control Act, the law that resulted from a deal struck by leaders of both parties to raise the debt ceiling in August 2011 and calls for across-the-board cuts in federal spending. Another deal concerning tax rates pushed off the sequester until March.
Other top Republicans hit Obama for missing his budget deadline as well, with Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia saying there was "no excuse" for the missed deadline and House GOP Conference Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington saying she was "disappointed," Roll Call said.
Drew Hammill, a spokesman for Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, responded saying, "Republicans need to stop governing by sound bite. The bill they will bring to the floor this week does nothing to address the urgent needs of the American people nor does it avert any of the upcoming GOP manufactured crises or the sequester, which will destroy jobs, harm our recovery and hurt the middle class."

Avignon is less than three hours south of Paris by train, making it an ideal destination for a weekend escapade. Home to a large number of medieval buildings, the city is famous for its Gothic architecture and structures. Avignon is also home to several festivals, conferences and events throughout the year, such as a winter equestrian festival and its Christmas Market, which features artisans, artists and merchants from all of southern France. These events attract visitors from France and from all over Europe and the world.
Avignon Bridge
The Avignon Bridge, which is officially named Pont Saint-Benezet, is perhaps best-known as the subject of a children's rhyme, "Sur le Pont D'Avignon." The bridge, which was built during the 12th century, is fallen into ruins. Today, less than half of the original bridge remains, extending only halfway through the Rhone River. Visitors can climb into the bridge tower and then walk toward the end of the bridge. Self-guided audiotours and guided tours are available. The bridge also has a shop and wine store selling famous wines from the region.
Palace of the Popes
Between the years 1309 and 1377, Avignon, not Rome, was the seat of the papacy. During this time, the popes who lived here ordered the construction of a palace, as well as fortification walls surrounding the center of the city. Both the palace and the walls still remain and are two of Avignon's most famous attractions. The Palais des Papes, the largest Gothic palace in the world, is open to visitors, but most of the rooms inside are completely empty except for some tapestries and mosaic and fresco decorations.
Avignon Theater Festival
During the month of July, Avignon is home to two renowned theater festivals: the International Theatre Festival and the OFF Festival. The International Theater Festival is set inside the Papal Palace and offers traditional performances of famous plays. Additional performances are held at other historical buildings around the city, but these change from year to year. The OFF Festival, which is more informal, offers presentations all around the city, in public parks, historical squares and even street corners. The OFF Festival offers music and dance presentations, as well as readings.
UNESCO World Heritage Sites
Avignon is famous for its historical heritage. Large sections of town and numerous buildings and structures have been declared UNESCO World Heritage sites. Aside from the bridge and palace, other protected sites include the ramparts or protective walls leading up to the bridge and the Avignon Cathedral. The Museum of the Petit Palais, which looks like a giant fortress, is also a UNESCO protected site. The museum houses an impressive collection of sculptures and paintings from the Middle Ages and Renaissance.

Robert Harwood is an IT administrator from Perth, and a contestant in series 3 of The Great Australian Bake Off.
If ever you're invited to Robert's house for a dinner party, be sure to know that the cake for dessert has been an all-night labour of love. For perfectionist Robert, baking the ultimate creation means he often burns the midnight oil. "I finish work at 3pm and sometimes I will bake through to 4am the next day," he says. "I'll then get up and decorate through to 12pm and then it's eaten on a Saturday night."
Married for five years, and having a keen interest in baking since he was a 10-year-old cooking with his mum, Robert's strength is creating over-the-top bakes that highlight his chocolate modelling and decorating skills. "I've always loved art and creating things and with cake decorating, and how to incorporate all the elements to create something that is architecturally sound," explains Robert. "My go-to bake would be red velvet with white chocolate ganache and from that you can build really incredible structures." With a biomedical science background, Robert is now in IT and his workmates reap the benefits of his bakes. But creating a masterpiece for Matt Moran and Maggie Beer is nerve wrecking. "I'm really terrified of presenting my bakes in front of the judges," he says. "I like to be perfect but the time constraints in the Bake Off Shed means sometimes things don't always go to plan."...

A suspect has been apprehended in the case of the Holocaust survivor who was found bludgeoned to death in his East Side apartment last week. Angela Murray and a male companion were observed entering Guido Felix Brinkmann's apartment Wednesday night, and their path traced from use of the credit cards and Honda Civic they allegedly stole from him. Murray is charged with murder and robbery; the companion is still at large. The New York Post had heard that Brinkmann brought prostitutes to his home, and speculated that this may have been the murderers' means of access. Brinkmann, who was held at Auschwitz during WWII, ran the popular East Side singles joint Adam's Apple in the 1970s, and once took a beating rather than open the club's safe for robbers. After his murder, the safe in his home was found unopened. Brinkmann was still working, at age 90, as a real estate manager in the Bronx at the time of his death. "It really took someone killing him to keep him away from work," his son told the Post.
