Goals either side of half time from Ben Watson and James McClean were enough to send Wigan Athletic through to the fifth round of the FA Cup at Crystal Palace's expense – in a match that was overshadowed by a neck injury to Jonathan Parr.
Tony Pulis shuffled his Palace pack for the encounter, with Paddy McCarthy captaining the side for the first time since April 2012 in one of four changes to the side that beat Stoke City last weekend.
Stuart O'Keefe, Barry Bannan and Cameron Jerome were also recalled to the starting line-up, with Danny Gabbidon, Mile Jedinak, Joel Ward and Yannick Bolasie all rested.
Those changes may have contributed to a slow start from the visitors, as Wigan enjoyed more of the ball during a cagey opening period, but it was Palace who fashioned the first meaningful attempt at goal after eight minutes. Jason Puncheon found room on the right and slipped a neat pass into the path of Marouane Chamakh. The Moroccan got his head up and unselfishly cut the ball back for Cameron Jerome, but Ali Al Habsi clawed his strike away from the top corner.
Pulis' Premier League charges seemed to settle after that and they created another decent opening just five minutes later. Chamakh was again involved as he got to the byline and pulled a low cross back for Stuart O'Keefe, but his first-time strike went straight down the throat of Al Habsi.
Wigan began to edge their way into the game though and Eagles academy graduate Ben Watson saw his strike from distance fizz past the far post, before James McClean smashed a wild volley over the bar from 18 yards as the Latics pressed for a first-half opener.
That eventually came on 36 minutes as Wigan put together the best move of the half to break the deadlock. Beausejour's ball down the line was clipped around the corner by Roger Espinoza into the path of McClean. The lively winger got to the byline and laid the ball back for the on-rushing Watson, who opened his right foot to guide the ball beyond Julian Speroni and into the far corner.
As the heavens opened at the DW Stadium, Parr required a lengthy period of treatment after a heavy aerial clash with Callum McManaman, which eventually caused the stricken Norwegian to be stretchered off. That incident led to eight minutes of first half stoppage time, which Uwe Rosler's side almost took full advantage of.
McManaman dribbled infield from the right and ghosted past substitute full back Dean Moxey, before unleashing a fierce right-footed strike which Speroni did well to beat away and keep Palace's half time arrears down to one.
The lively winger was causing the Eagles back four plenty of problems and he came close again seven minutes after the restart. After being slipped in by Watson, he got the better of Moxey but saw his left foot drive flash past the far post.
That sparked Palace into life and after Bannan's in-swinging corner was scrambled off the line by Al Habsi at his near post, the Oman international goalkeeper had to be at his very best to tip a dipping Puncheon volley over the crossbar.
With 25 minutes to go, Pulis changed his front two, throwing on Aaron Wilbraham and Dwight Gayle in place of Jerome and Chamakh – and that change proved to be an inspired one just three minutes later. Bannan's near-post corner was flicked on by Gayle and Wilbraham stretched to stab home the equaliser from six yards.
Palace had their tails up and after Wigan came close to regaining the lead from a corner, the Eagles broke quickly downfield. With his stunning winner at Aston Villa still fresh in the memory, Gayle sprinted down the left before cutting inside and hammering a strike goalwards, but Al Habsi sprung across his goal to parry it away.
The visitors were beginning to sense their first FA Cup fourth round victory since 2010, but the holders were in no mood to give up their trophy without a fight. Substitute Nick Powell drilled a shot wide, before James Perch was denied by Speroni after getting up well to head a Watson free kick goalwards.
Seconds later though, the Latics regained their lead. Espinoza picked the ball up unchallenged in the middle of the park and fed McClean on the left. The former Sunderland man skinned Adrian Mariappa and hit a low strike past Speroni at his near post to send the home fans into raptures.
But it was the travelling red and blue army who were up in arms two minutes from time as Gayle went down in the box under the challenge of another former Eagle Emmerson Boyce – only for referee Mike Jones to wave away the protests.
Palace continued to press for an equaliser in stoppage time but the Latics defence held firm to end the Eagles cup dreams for another season and leave Pulis' side to concentrate on securing Premier League survival.

Forest fires spread over 500 acres in the north of Sarawak have raised air pollution to hazardous levels today in areas close to the inferno, government data showed.
The fires have spurred an emergency response from the state fire and rescue department, which is at the same time scrambling to manage nearly 8,000 people displaced by floods in Sarawak's southern region as of Monday morning, according to Bernama
Sensors located in the coastal town of Miri – which is closest to the fires – registered an air pollutant index reading of over 300 parts per million (ppm) as at 9am, though it went down to 185 ppm as at 3pm, the data showed.
Readings above 300 ppm are deemed a health hazard.
State Fire and Rescue Department director Nor Hisham Mohammad told Reuters that the situation in the north of Malaysia's largest state is 'quite bad' and expects the fires to rage for a 'minimum of one week'.
Sarawak's forests are renowned for being home to eight out of the world's 54 species of hornbills, according to the Sarawak Forestry Corporation, and also to the Orang Utan in some regions of the Bornean state.
Nor Hisham said the fires are unlikely to have affected the local wildlife as their numbers would be small because most of the timber in the area was already harvested.
The fires, however, forced local authorities to evacuate 650 students from an industrial training centre on Sunday, but classes have since resumed on Monday morning, Nor Hisham said.
Nor Hisham said a total of 50 personnel along with two helicopters and two excavators have been deployed and are working round the clock to contain the fires.
The fire and rescue department believes local hunters had started the fires, but are still investigating the matter.
Meteorological Department senior officer Mohd Hisham Mohd Anip said the severity of the fires was caused by the El Nino weather phenomenon, which typically affects the northern region of Sarawak and the neighbouring state of Sabah.
Forest fires have increased in frequency over the past few years in Sarawak, where there are large tracts of peat soil.
This year's forest fires, however, cover more than double the 200 acres in the same region scorched by forest fires in July last year. – Reuters

Photos: Pride, passion, music and fireworks at Paralympic...
The Games are over and the athletes and ...
"These Games have lifted us up," Furlong tells Olympians
Team Canada enters BC Place stadium for the closing ceremonies of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games at BC Place stadium in Vancouver, BC Sunday, February 28, 2010. (Jason Payne / Canwest News Service)
VANCOUVER — They began with death and recrimination, with bad weather and harsh criticism, and, for a short while, people were saying the Vancouver Games would go down in history as the worst Winter Olympics ever.
But by the time they ended Sunday night before 60,000 cheering spectators in BC Place Stadium — with thousands more jamming the streets outside to celebrate Canada's gold-medal men's hockey victory — the Games were more likely to be lauded than condemned.
"There is this extraordinary embrace of the entire city of the Olympic Games — something that I have never seen on this scale before," Jacques Rogge, president of the International Olympic Committee said. "This is really something unique and it has given a great atmosphere for these Games."
John Furlong, leader of the Vancouver Games organizing committee, spoke at the closing ceremony of a changed Canada, one with "the most beautiful kind of patriotism" in evidence on Vancouver's streets.
"I believe we Canadians tonight are stronger, more united, more in love with our country and more connected with each other than ever before," he said.
"These Games have lifted us up."
Rogge and Furlong, however, acknowledged that the Games will always have a shadow over them. The death of 21-year-old Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili during a training run on opening day remains a permanent stain.
"To the people of Georgia, we are so sad and so sorry for your loss," Furlong said. "May the legacy of your favourite son . . . never be forgotten and serve to inspire youth everywhere to be champions in life."
As they did in the opening ceremony, the crowd rose as one to applaud the athletes and people of Georgia.
The death of the young luger rocked Vancouver organizers even before the sports competition got underway two weeks ago. And that, combined with the lack of snow on Cypress Mountain, transportation glitches and a fenced-in cauldron, sparked harsh attacks by the international media.
Organizers, however, overcame the weather challenges and fixed most of the technical gaffes early. The Games seemed to turn a corner by the end of the first week. As the sun came out, people from all over the world flooded Vancouver's streets, mingling with Canadians who, for once, shed their reserved natures and replaced them with red hockey jerseys.
The crowds, in fact, got so big following the hockey win Sunday that the local transit authority ceased bus service as mobs of people marched over the bridges into the downtown core.
As people celebrated outside, Canada's actors and comic stars bid a lighthearted farewell to the world's athletes inside BC Place.
William Shatner poked fun at our landscape, Catherine O'Hara ridiculed our reputation for politeness, and Michael J. Fox claimed all of the world's athletes as Canadian while a slot machine showed Canada's medal count skyrocketing.
No Canadian myth was spared in a show that featured singing Mounties, tabletop hockey players, dancing canoes, giant beavers, lumberjacks and the theme song that made Hockey Night in Canada an institution in this country. Audience members were given their own moose antlers to wear.
Even Furlong go into the act, telling the world, "Now you know us, eh?"
The opening ceremony were criticized for a lack of French content, but the Games' finale featured Quebec folk band La Bottine Souriante, pop idol Marie-Mai, and a few phrases from Furlong himself.
The French performers joined a parade of singing talent that also included Michael Buble, Hedley, Alanis Morissette, Avril Lavigne, Nickelback and Simple Plan. As the stars sang, the athletes moved to the centre of the arena to dance during an extended concert segment at the end of the show.
Earlier, Neil Young sang Long May You Run as the flame was extinguished in the Olympic cauldron — which was still missing one of the four prongs that malfunctioned during the opening ceremony.
The show's producers, however, turned the broken cauldron into a joke, with a handyman in overalls and a plaid shirt climbing out of the floor at the start of the show to plug in a large extension cord. The fourth prong rose the floor along with Catriona Le May Doan, who finally lit the cauldron — something she was unable to do in the opening ceremony.
Canadian tenor Ben Heppner, who grew up in Dawson Creek, B.C., sang the Olympic anthem, and then Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson handed the Olympic flag to Anatoly Pakhomov, mayor of Sochi, Russia, which will play host to the Winter Games in 2014.
The handover ceremony was followed by a Russian cultural show featuring ballet dancers from the world-famous Bolshoi Theatre and, of course, Zorbs — large transparent balls with people inside them.
In some ways, the closing ceremony seemed anti-climatic following Canada's overtime victory over the United States in the gold-medal men's hockey game.
The victory gave Canada a record 14 gold medals, the most ever won by a country at an Olympic Winter Games.
Canadians could be forgiven for feeling emotionally drained after the heart-wrenching and heart-stopping moments over the past two weeks.
None, of course, riveted the nation more than the story of Joannie Rochette, who won bronze in figure skating just four days after the sudden death of her mother, Therese. Her courage under pressure made her the natural choice as Canada's flag-bearer at the closing ceremony.
In a twist, the flag-bearers did not lead their countries' athletes into the stadium, but entered together and formed a circle of flags around the cauldron.
"The Games will have many wonderful legacies," Furlong said. "I wish for but one — that every Canadian child — be they from Chicoutimi, Moncton, Grande Prairie, Squamish or Niagara Falls — will have the chance to grow up to experience the pleasure of sport. No one left out. And that we of the global Olympic family will not rest until the right of every child to play across this planet is secured. Goodbye to you all."

The DLCC is delighted to announce the publication of a new volume on the ethics of transhumanism by Verlag Herder in Germany.
The volume is edited by DLCC Fellow, Dr Benedikt Göcke, and builds on Dr Göcke's previous research for the DLCC on compassion and transhumanism. It brings together papers by experts across a wide range of disciplines including philosophy, natural science, and theology.
The collection also contains a paper on the philosophical anthropology presupposed by transhumanism by DLCC Fellow Ralph Weir.
Transhumanism is an intellectual movement that argues for the widespread use of human technological enhancements for ethical ends. With a large and growing following that cuts across religious and cultural divides, transhumanism has become a central topic in current ethical debates.
The publication will be released in March 2018 but is already available for preorder at Amazon.de.
At present papers in this volume are only available in German. English language research papers, presenting Dr Göcke's work for the DLCC can be viewed in Faith and Philosophy, and the Journal of Posthuman Studies.

Ciel no Surge: Song of the Lost Star's Offering is not part of the Ar tonelico series, but the way you interact with Ionasol (shortened to "Ion" in the game) is a lot like diving into her mind.
Ion is a mysterious girl with amnesia. It's your job to awaken her memories by connecting Ion to terminals and entering her mind. Inside you'll see a broken world and repair points which you can mend together by using the power of Ciel. Fix these and you can restore Ion's memories. Does any of this sound familiar? It might be because the director of the Surge Concerto games is also the director of the Ar Tonelico series.
Ciel no Surge plays like a communication game when Ion isn't hooked up to a machine. You can interact with Ion while she lives her everyday life.
Ciel no Surge is the first work in the Surge Concerto series. Gust plans on expanding this franchise into a variety of media beyond video games. Future games will be based around the same world setting.
The story of Surge Concerto begins with a solar system with a swelling sun. La Ciel's residents have two plans to deal with this impending crisis. A group (loosely translated as) the Astronomers are developing a plan to teleport residents to another planet. Meanwhile, a Terrestrial group wants to save the solar system by harnessing the power of song magic. Public opinion is split between the two groups and the fate of the world falls on the president-elect… Ionasol.
Ciel no Surge comes out in Japan on April 26.

Antiquing in Vancouver - Antique Row Revived
Antiquing has seen a much needed revival over the past year. The recession left many antique and *curio shops in the dust, closing doors that stood open for decades previous. Stores that proudly carried items from the depression era were seeing their own faltering economies make examples out of them in that one of the first things to go in challenging financial times are the luxuries. Collectors began selling off their treasures as opposed to adding to their collections resulting in a relentless buyer's market.
There have been small upward bounds in the industry but the biggest reason for the aforementioned revival has been the inception of everything antique into our day to day reality programming. The Antique Roadshow has long been a guilty TV pleasure for many but new programs such as Auction Hunters, Auction Kings, American (& Canadian) Pickers, Storage Wars and the massively popular Pawn Stars has attracted an even younger audience. All of a sudden it's cool to check the newspapers for Sunday afternoon yard sales in hopes of flipping a five dollar purchase into a fortune. Grandparents all over the country are getting far more frequent visits from the kids and grandkids whom after 30 minutes of small talk over coffee, tea and biscuits are found rummaging through their basements and attics, digging through trunks of old knick knacks and armoires, inspecting each for dates, serial numbers, and inscriptions that may indicate value. Antiquing is no longer only for pretentious monocle wearing aristocrats that consider Pottery Barn blasphemous. It has become a hipster historian hobby, creating vintage virtuosos and art of the deal thrill seekers, all who also now find Pottery Barn blasphemous.
This trend had become immediately evident after one afternoon spent browsing Vancouver's unofficial Antique Row on Main Street, primarily between 3000 and 4500 blocks. T-shirt and skinny jean clad individuals one would customarily see hunched over a laptop at Starbucks in addition to young couples and families with tots in hand now made up the entourage peeking through the creaking bell chiming doors of shops that once waxed geriatric. More conservative patrons were still found in the higher end stores marked by Victorian and Mid Century Art Deco decor but the places that saw the highest customer traffic included those that carried vintage tin Coca Cola signs that appeared purposefully and perfectly rusted as well as instruments, movie memorabilia, old toys, Shwinns, ship wheels, and strange artifacts from the late 19th and early 20th century.
If all of the above appeals to your senses or sounds like something you can get into we have provided a few of our favorite stores along Vancouver's reviving Antique Row for you to treasure hunt in or perhaps attempt to unload that ornate vase from your unwitting Grandmother's basement. Shame on you.
* Curio (wikipedia definition) - A strange and interesting object that invokes curiosity.
Old Stuff Two
4510 Main Street, Vancouver
This tiny shop might as well be a treasure chest as it is chock full of funky kibbles and bits of nostalgia. The store front window is marked by a massive button shaped Coco Cola sign and absolutely no indication of hours of operation. Be sure to hang around until opening to catch owner and operator Bob Blais making room to browse the interior by plopping some eye catching goods out on the sidewalk. We purchased (scored!) a 1927 vintage Royal Hawaiian Ukulele that our editor wont stop raving about from this location which is a testament to the fact that you never know what you will come across while cruising along Antique Row.
A Baker's Dozen
3520 Main Street, Vancouver
This store is a browsers haven with three jam packed rooms worth of memorabilia of a time passed. There is a noticeable concentration of marine based items (ship wheels, floatation rings, replica scale ship models, oars, etc...) particularly from the East Coast of Canada giving decorators with a penchant for beach/boating/lakeshore décor something to salivate about. Don't let this description pigeonhole the goods at A Baker's Dozen In any way as there is so much more to explore at this fantastic antique and curio shop.
Curios City
3851 Main Street, Vancouver
A massive collector's trunk from the 1800's, a barrel sized fierce looking tribal face carved from stone, and a heavy salt water beaten iron ship anchor lured us into Curios City where the friendly proprietor greeted us with open arms even though we stumbled in before the store officially opened. This close quartered shop is full of wondrous articles with history to match the aesthetic. Curios City is a definite must visit in the neighborhood.
J & J Antiques
4394 Main Street, Vancouver
J & J Antiques interior is ornate to say the least, both in decor and within the items that line (and climb) the walls of yet another eclectic collection along Antique Row. We were immediately enthralled by the always popular vintage Coca Cola merchandise up front as well as a cafe owner's dream coffee grinder that appeared to be restored in all of it's original early 20th century glory. The collection inside this store is culturally diverse spanning many time periods and genres and includes pieces perfect to complement Asian inspired home and businesses decor. J & J Antiques is also known to supply the Vancouver film industry in using antiques as prop pieces to validate the authentic look of movies taking place within specific time periods, so not only are you browsing items that span decades if not centuries, but they may also come with Hollywood credit too.
Alexander Lam Antiques (& Exotic World)
3271 Main Street, Vancouver
Alexander Lam Antiques appears as you end your journey (if moving towards downtown) along Antique Row. The collection appears to be very culturally themed with detailed wood carvings that tell tales of regional diversity. The most interesting aspect of Alexander Lam is the Exotic World "museum" found at the back of the store where the concept of curio (and downright weird) is taken to a whole other level.

Mr. Winkler Has Arrived at Rectory
Video produced by Steven W. and Paul S. of Rectory School.
Who Is Mr. Winkler?
Mr. Winkler is a new faculty member at the Rectory School as of September 2015. He is an eighth-grade English teacher, and he also tutors students in the Individualized Instruction Program (IIP). He has lived and taught in China and Japan, and these overseas experiences have helped him teach the many international students at our school.
Mr. Winkler is very involved with student activities. For example, he has organized monthly student trips to the University of Connecticut campus for their featured author readings, which are part of the "Roar Reading Series." Students listen to published authors read from their own books, short stories, and poems.
Mr. Winkler has also introduced the Rectory community to a monthly "one-sentence story" contest. Each month there is a different word that students and faculty must use to write an original one-sentence story that cannot be more than 40 words. There is a winner for the best sentence in each grade level and one winner from the faculty submissions.
We are all very happy to have Mr. Winkler as a member of our school community. Please watch our video to learn more about him and the impact he is having on our campus!

I spent most of my life living in college football land. We watched NFL on Sundays because there was nothing else on but since our closest team was a good 3 hours away, we never got really swept away in Super Bowl excitement.
But now that we're in Colorado. You guys.
The baby and I went to the grocery store on Sunday before the games began and we were literally the only people there that weren't wearing a Broncos shirt. The store had tables full of Broncos cupcakes, Broncos cookie cakes, and – weirdly enough – Broncos caramel apples. Even the ginormous deli sandwich I bought for my husband came with a Broncos sticker on it.
I couldn't resist Broncos mania. I walked out of the store with a toddler-sized Broncos shirt and justified it with "HE WAS BORN HERE! HE'S A FAN!"
Since my team (Saints) aren't exactly known for making it to the Super Bowl, I'm usually all about the food instead of the game. And potato skins are kind of the ultimate football food, right?
I can't even tell you the last time I had some but when my mom was visiting last month she told me that this recipe was by far the best for potato skins and I've had them on the brain since then. If you haven't tried it yet, I definitely recommend it! Both sides of the potato get a bit crispy, and with the melty cheese? Just perfection. I already want to make them again.
- 8 whole small russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- salt
- 1-1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 8 slices bacon cooked and chopped
- 2 green onions sliced
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Preheat oven to 400F.
Scrub potatoes and dry completely. With a paper towel (or your hands) rub the skin of the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of the canola oil.
Place potatoes on a baking sheet and bake until skin is crisp and potatoes are tender, about 30 to 40 minutes. Remove the pan and allow to cool until you can handle the potatoes.
Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop out the insides, leaving a little bit of potato in the skins.
Melt the butter with 2 tablespoons canola oil, then brush both the outside and the inside of the potatoes. Sprinkle the inside lightly with salt. Place potato halves face-down and return to the oven for 5 to 8 minutes. Using tongs, turn the potatoes over and continue to bake until the edges of the potatoes start to turn golden brown.
Remove from oven. Sprinkle the insides of the potato skins with cheddar, then sprinkle on the chopped bacon. Return to the oven long enough for the cheese to melt, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Serve immediately with sour cream and green onions.

Gerald's Old School Giveaway
Millie Jackson is making her way to Kalamazoo's Miller Auditorium on Saturday, November 19 and we want to send you to the show!
All you have to do is fill out the form below and you'll be entered to win a pair of tickets to see her perform live!
Millie Jackson is much more than an entertainment legend. The charismatic and multi-talented entertainer is without a doubt, a music industry icon whose oft criticized career paved the way for many of today's forward female recording artists and entertainers. In spite of being stamped bawdy, brash and bad, Millie is the epitome of performance perfection on stage. Several years ago, she added a new dimension to her established legendary career by creating, financing, directing and starring in a 'hit' musical stage play that was based on one of her previous recordings, "Young Man, Older Woman." During the play's touring years, audiences (old and new) discovered that Millie Jackson was equally at home as an actress, as she was singing songs in a musically mesmerizing manner.

Keep reading… Writer/director James Merendino has turned to crowdfunding platform IndieGoGo to help raise financing for 'Punk's Dead,' the long awaited sequel to his 1999 cult classic 'SLC Punk!' For those unfamiliar with the original film, 'SLC Punk!' follows the daily lives of college graduate Steven "Stevo" Levy (Matthew Lillard) and his best friend, "Heroin" Bob (Michael Goorjian), the only two dedicated punks in the conservative society of 1980s Salt Lake City. The sequel, tentatively set to short March/April 2014, catches up with the main characters 18 years after the events of the first film and Merendino has revealed that he is hoping to bring back most of the original cast, including Lillard, Goorjian, Devon Sawa, Annabeth Gish, James Duval, Til Schweiger, and Christopher McDonald. "The thing I find appealing about crowd sourcing is that it's a way for everybody to join the party, we are all VIPs, we are all big shots. Indiegogo is an amazing conduit for us to do this. Plus I really like the word gogo, it reminds me of girls dancing in giant bird cages," said Merendino. "That said, I am really looking forward to getting on the set, making this movie. I'm excited to collaborate again with some old friends, as well as new friends like Branden Steineckert, who will definitely help me put together a killer soundtrack." You can find the latest updates on the sequel's status via the IndieGoGo campaign and official Facebook page.

The First Great Android Tablet May Be On Sale Feb. 24th [Unconfirmed]
Source: http://gizmodo.com/5751837/the-first-great-android-tablet-may-be-on-sale-feb-24th
Either whoever manages the Grand Rapids South Best Buy Facebook page has a fertile imagination, or the Motorola Xoom is going on sale there in just a few weeks. That's not long to wait for the first real iPad fighter.
According to the store's Facebook Page, Xoom will hit Best Buy on 2/24. That doesn't mean that the store is correct, or that Best Buy will have the first wave of shipments (Verizon might prefer to have an exclusive for a few days or a week). But what a treat that the best new tablet we've seen lately will also, hopefully, be the first one to arrive. [Facebook via Droid-Life]

We can close our eyes and not see, or look the other way. But how often do we close our ears to not hear?
Stimulation through our hearing happens almost 24/7, hence it is quite crucial to care for it wisely. Hearing, interestingly, also develops earlier than sight or even the sensitivity of the skin when we are still in the womb – speech and smell come much later.
But what are we actually hearing with these highly-developed sense of ours? When we say we are listening, what is it that we are listening to? How do we actually listen? What generates from our process of listening?
An honest personal experience – I sit down, I listen to you, but am I really listening to what you say? I sit and my eyes are fixed (mostly) towards you. You speak and my mind immediately, secretly wonders.
The mind is saying all sorts of things: I know where this is going, it's so typical of you, oh I didn't know that about you, I have similar experience too, when will you stop so that I can start sharing my experiences and giving you my advices and wisdom.
Wait, I need to listen. I return to you, I watch and listen to you, and the mind starts to go astray yet once again.
Imagine when the conversation happens within — between us and ourselves. Imagine how chatty the conversation gets. An emotion arises and immediately the mind starts to analyze it. Commentaries come. Another comment arises to counter the first analysis. The brain or our sense gets stimulated by another thing. Another commentary occurs. An objection arises. This might go on and on. Busy body.
At one point, the body would get tired, and get tired of it. It needs to stop. Intuitively we know that this feels unnatural. This does not feel like listening, as we are not hearing what it is that the other party (or oneself) is actually saying. So one (meaning me in this case, and perhaps you too) starts to find another way of listening.
I have sought and come across many ways of improving our listening techniques. While I find all of them useful and interesting, I am drawn to a particular way of listening.
This listening has a straightforward 'technique' or you can say none at all: We simply listen and acknowledge what we hear, with kindness. I will try to explain my experience to you. Perhaps that would be the best way to describe it. Do note that I have yet to master this. I am still learning.
Here, we set our intention to really listen and be with what is. We let go of the control and allow whatever arise to arise. Our body becomes more relaxed. Notice when the body is tense; the noticing itself would relax the body. We gently bring our awareness to our senses (ears, eyes, skin) and we expand it to within our body/mind and the surrounding, including the people we are with.
We remain quiet — as much as humanly possible — and we simply stay with this awareness. We listen, with full respect to what is before us. In this quietness, we trust that whatever arises needs to arise. We notice when our mind returns to its commentator mode, our emotions come and go, and gently return to our listening. Over and over and over again.
So yes, we simply set our intention to listen, be with what is, and allow whatever needs to arise to arise.
When we're ready, even the listener, the "we" in this article, would need to be let go as well. "We" is not that important anymore in this case. The listening is.
This is a very interesting experiment, to say the least. We would start to really notice how chatty our mind is and how it would calm down when true listening happens.
We would start to hear what the others are really saying, and the other parties too can feel that they are heard. This is key. Humans have the innate need to be heard and we know when we have been heard. It is a precious experience of being met. Understanding happens.
At the end of the day, this manner of listening is in fact a way of being. We simply listen and allow what happens to happen. When this occurs, we would intuitively know how to respond — be it through speech or actions.
True listening leads to real understanding and proper responses. The whole life then becomes an ongoing course of listening. This is how important listening is to me personally, and why I feel the need to share it with you.

The federal budget deficit grew to $895 billion for the first 11 months of fiscal year 2018, according to a Congressional Budget Office estimation released late Monday.
The estimated deficit grew by $222 billion, or 32 percent, over the shortfall recorded during the same 11-month period in fiscal year 2017, and comes amid a booming economy with the number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits hitting its lowest level in nearly 50 years and GDP growth of 4.2 percent in the second quarter of 2018.
The national debt when President Donald Trump took office was $19.9 trillion and has since surpassed $21 trillion.
Increased spending and the impacts of Trump's tax cuts were the primary drivers for the federal deficit's climb to $895 billion, according to the CBO.
Spending increased 7 percent over the first 11 months of the fiscal year, however, revenues increased by only 1 percent.
The CBO attributed the marginal revenue growth to an additional $105 billion collected from individual income and payroll taxes, which was mostly negated by corporate tax receipts falling by $71 billion, or 30 percent, due in part to the reduced corporate tax rate put in place by Trump's tax cuts.
On the spending side, Social Security and Medicare expenditures rose by 4 percent and a higher rate of inflation drove outlays on net interest on the public debt to swell by 19 percent.
Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Kevin Hassett acknowledged the 2017 tax cuts have increased the deficit "a little bit," during a Monday press briefing, but added that the economic growth spurred by the tax cuts have nearly paid for the reduced corporate rate. (RELATED: Obama Has Been Claiming Credit For Trump's Economy – Trump Marches Out Economist, With Receipts)
"I think that the notion that the corporate tax side has about paid for itself is clearly in the data," Hassett said. "On the individual side, there was about a trillion-dollar cost. About $700 billion of that was a refundable child credit that got expanded at the last minute to get the votes they needed to pass it."

Don't forget Leap Year February has 29.
I'm not sure if this helps since I don't know when or why you are using this formula, but this formula will return the number of days in the current month:
This will return the number of days in the Month of the date in A1:
Depending on your needs, perhaps you could substitute one of those two formulas for the 30 in your formula.

MBW has already reported on the major labels' UK gender pay gap today – as well as Live Nation's.
Now it's the turn of collection and licensing society PRS For Music.
For those that haven't been following this story: a change in UK law which stipulates that any company in the market with more than 250 employees must reveal their gender pay gap stats by April 5 (tomorrow).
These gender stats were based on employment figures from April 5, 2017 – meaning any changes since this point are not reflected in the figures.
Here is the data for PRS For Music:
- In the top-earning quartile of PRS's business, 65.4% of employees are male and 34.6% are female.
- The average hourly rate of pay across the whole company is 17.2% lower for females vs. males.
- Taken as a median %, this figure falls to 11.5%.
- When it comes to bonuses, female executives are paid 68.8% less on average than their male counterparts.
- Bonus pay is given to 88.6% of male employees and 87.6% of female employees.
- In the 'upper middle quartile' (ie. the second tier of executive pay) at PRS, 59% of employees are male and 41% of employees are female.
- In the 'lower-middle' quartile (ie. the third tier) there are 54.5% male employees and 45.5% female employees.
- In the bottom quartile (ie. the lowest-paid), those stats stand at 55.1% male and 44.9% female.
Discussing the results, PRS for Music's Human Resources Director Pamela Harding said: "We have a gender pay gap at PRS for Music and the main reason for this is that there are fewer women in senior positions than men.
"We know that diverse teams are more successful, more fulfilled and more motivated than those that are uniform. We are committed to treating people fairly across all levels of the organisation and making sure they have the same opportunities for career development, reward and recognition.
"Diversity and inclusion are core to our business and we will continue to take steps forward by establishing a Inclusion strategy in 2018, to ensure all of our people feel that they are treated fairly regardless or gender or any other form of diversity."
Interestingly, PRS's fellow UK-based collection and licensing society – PPL – has presented its gender pay gap stats, and they're much more positive that a lot of what we've seen today elsewhere.
PPL's mean gender pay gap is 6.6% in favour of men. Other key stats:
- PPL's median gender pay gap is 4.3% in favour of women.
- PPL's mean gender bonus gap is 36.5% in favour of men. Again this can be impacted by the ratio of men to women in more senior roles. Excluding PPL's CEO from the figures, the mean gender bonus gap drops to 15.4% in favour of men.
- PPL's median gender bonus gap is 4.7% in favour of women.
- The proportion of male and female employees receiving a bonus is 84.2% and 82.8% respectively.
PPL's Chief Executive Officer, Peter Leathem, commented:
"PPL is actively committed to ensuring it has a diverse workforce and a culture of accountability, respect and fair reward. Our focus in recent years has been three-fold: recruitment, training and talent management. We strive to always recruit from a wide pool of applicants, and we have implemented training initiatives to support our people managers with recruitment. We have also created a talent management programme to support career progression throughout the company, providing opportunities to retain and further develop our diversity of experience, skill and knowledge.
"Whilst it is not directly covered by the gender pay reporting statistics, we have also focused on the related important issue of equal pay. Based on an extensive job evaluation exercise, which we continue to review each year, we have created a framework to ensure that our employees are paid equally for similar types of roles.
"We remain committed to investing in all our people, regardless of gender, race or ethnicity or any other protected characteristic."Music Business Worldwide

Paramore Cover The Strokes, Release New Album
By: Maura O'Malley
May 12, 2017
Paramore's fifth studio album, After Laughter, dropped today (5/12), and it's definitely got a new sound that at first listen, fans may be super into or super, well, not into. And that's not because this isn't a worthwhile album. It's just different.
Either way, it's hard to deny the album's infectious, synthy, alt-pop sound. And it's important to note: It is still guitar driven, but if you're looking for even more guitar, look no further than the below videos—this week in Nashville, Paramore covered The Strokes' "Someday," and these fans captured it.
#Paramore #hayleywilliams the strokes
A post shared by Jason Miles (@jasonmiles615) on
As for the latest album, you can scoop a copy today to hear tracks like the lively "Hard Times."

Rub 101
Anyone wanting to get serious about smoking, needs to learn the value of applying a rub to the meat before it goes into the smoker. The spices rubbed onto the surface of the meat are actually one of the most essential aspects of the smoking process. Try smoking two racks of ribs: one with a rub and the other with nothing. Brush them both with bbq sauce after smoking and then taste. The rack of ribs with the spice rub is far superior, as it has much deeper flavors and complexity. That will prove to anyone, beyond a doubt, the value and importance of adding spices and seasoning to the meat before smoking.
So, what is a rub and how does one best apply these spices to the meat anyway?
The 3 Parts of a Rub
Spice Blend
The blend of spices is what truly distinguishes one rub from another. There are base spices like paprika, garlic powder and black pepper that are good with almost any blend or rub. Then there are spices that are more specific and do not necessarily work with all meat and seafood.
• Herbs like thyme, oregano, basil and more are great for chicken and seafood and can work as a blend for herb and garlic rubs or even a Cajun rub.
• Exotic spices like cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg are bold and need to be used with caution. These are great for jerk seasonings and Moroccan flavors. Small amounts can provide a wonderful flavour for lamb and other meats.
• Cayenne and chipotle powder add a completely different layer of flavour by providing heat. This can be effective with smoking virtually any meat or seafood.
Salt is quite possibly the most important seasoning when cooking pretty much anything and smoking meat or seafood is no exception. Salt wakes up the flavours that are both found in the rub and meat. It intensifies sweetness and counteracts bitterness. On top of that, people just generally like the taste of salt. Salt also has a curing effect on meat and seafood that adds one more layer of depth and complexity when smoking.
The level of sweetness in a rub is probably undervalued, but it is very important when smoking meat. Sugar has the ability of drawing all the spices together and balancing out the flavours. On top of that, meat that has a generous amount of rub, and smoked low and slow, develops an outer layer that is caramelized from the sugars in the rub. This 'bark' has intense flavours of smoke and sweetness and is highly prized by any serious smoker.
Be Generous
Make sure that you put a healthy amount of rub on whatever meat you are smoking. It is important that the meat is essentially coated in the rub when it is added to the smoker. This helps to infuse the flavours and develop that incredible bark on the outside of the meat.
Rub means Rub
Applying a spice blend to meat is not done by merely sprinkling. It is not enough to shake some spices on the meat or just toss them in the rub. These blends are called a rub for a reason. It is important to actually rub the spices into the meat. This means getting your hands in there and rub the spices back and forth on the surface of the meat. This helps to penetrate the spices into the meat and truly maximizes the flavour. Some meat, like a pork shoulder, have crevices and it is important to make sure that the spices are rubbed in every 'nook and cranny' of the meat. Wearing latex gloves may be necessary for people with sensitive skin as the peppers can be an irritant on the hands.
Let it Rest
A rub is like a marinade and it is best to let the spices rest on the meat before smoking. After rubbing the meat with the spice blend, place it back in the fridge for a while. As it spices sit on the meat, they are drawn in, intensifying the flavours. Let the meat rest in the fridge for at least an hour, preferably two to three and, if possible, overnight. The salt in the rub will have a curing effect on the meat or seafood during this time in marinating.
Steve's BBQ Rub
This is my 'go-to' rub. Especially good on pork ribs and pork shoulder/butt roasts, this rub is also really good for chicken and beef brisket. I make it in large quantities because I use it all the time.
• ¾ cup paprika
• ½ cup sugar
• ½ cup salt
• ¼ cup ground black pepper
• 3 tbsp cayenne pepper
• 2 tbsp thyme
• 2 tbsp dry mustard
• 2 tbsp cumin
• 1 tbsp sage
1. Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container like a mason jar.
2. Use on pork, chicken and beef.
Ragin' Cajun Rub
This rub is excellent on seafood. Toss some raw, peeled shrimp in this rub and then throw them in the Bradley for a nice smoke. Amazing!
• 2 tbsp paprika
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp dried oregano
• 1 tbsp dried thyme
• 1 tbsp dried basil
• 1 tbsp salt
• 1 tbsp black pepper
• 2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 2 tsp white pepper
• 2 tsp onion powder
• 2 tsp white sugar
3. Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container like a mason jar.
4. Use on shrimp, chicken, pork or other meats.
Moroccan Spice Rub
An excellent rub for both lamb and chicken to provide an exotic flavour to go with the smoke.
• 1½ tbsp paprika
• 1 tbsp cumin
• 1 tbsp coriander
• 1½ tbsp white sugar
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground cardamom
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground cloves
• 1 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper
1. Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container like a mason jar.
2. Use on lamb, chicken and more.

It's that time of year when you friendly, neighbourhood Children's Librarians start to review some of the books that were in this year's Children's Book Council of Australia's Book of the Year Notable and Short Lists. Keep an eye out on our blog, or subscribe at the top of the page now, to see what we think of a number of this year's books.
This time around I am reviewing Mr Huff by Anna Walker. Anna Walker is an author/illustrator living in Melbourne and this year she had three books in the Notable lists – Alfie's Lost Sharkie in the Book of the Year – Early Childhood category. What Do You Wish For? which was written by Jane Godwin with illustrations by Anna Walker. Mr Huff was also Notable in the Picture Book of the Year category.
You know those days, those terrible days, when you wake up and things are just wrong or bad or off in some way. In this quite delightful picture book Anna Walker gives that feeling a name – Mr Huff. Quite appropriate as I think we all huff a lot when we're having one of those days.
Bill, our main character, wakes up with the cloud already over his head. But we can see what type of day it is going to be from the end papers. End papers are the double page spread on the inside of the cover (back and front) and often one of the most beautiful parts of a picture book to look at – there are often hidden delights on these pages when done well. On the first end paper the day is dreary and we can already see Mr Huff and Bill in the window.
As Bill's day progresses it gets worse, nothing goes right and the more frustrated Bill becomes the larger Mr Huff grows until he is a giant cloud of bad feelings with a face and arms and legs that Bill is trying so hard to ignore. He doesn't want to talk about Mr Huff, and he was scared even when he was trying to be brave, but in the end Bill finally realises that he can see himself in Mr Huff. Then he starts to deal with Mr Huff, and slowly as his frustration ebbs he starts to feel better…
On the back end pages we see a lovely view on that same street from the front of the book but the day is brighter and a little sunny and Bill isn't inside but outside enjoying the day. Visual literacy plays such a large part of this book, the text is light, but completely perfect for telling the story, and children can practise the skills of 'reading' a picture with this book easily.
I really like this book. I went to see the new City of Perth Library the other week with my sister and niece and we sat in their children's area (next to that tree) and read this book. She enjoyed the book just as much as I did I think.
I love how Anna Walker illustrates. And the way she has captured the wet, washed out look of the streets and settings with her painting makes me feel like it is a wet and miserable day…oh way, it is. Luckily for me, I quite love a wet and rainy day (and walking in the rain).
I also love how she writes, with a little bit of humour, the use of different fonts styles for different modes of text and the symbiosis of her illustrations and text to tell the story together to make it richer and in this case make the emotion that is so hard to describe so easy to understand.
This is a great book for talking to children about emotions – especially the ones that aren't as easy to define as happy, sad, shy, angry, etc. And that is one of the best things about picture books they can make it easy to talk about those ephemeral things that sometimes feel too hard to explain.
I'm giving this book a 5 out of 5 because I just think it's a great book for snuggling up with on any day but especially a rainy, wet one.

Auckland Transport are crowing about the latest results of their customer satisfaction survey for public transport, and understandable so. For the first time the survey shows satisfaction with PT at over 90% and this has risen significantly over the last year or so.
Aucklanders are loving the on-going improvements to public transport.
The latest customer satisfaction survey done for Auckland Transport for the year to September 2017 shows overall satisfaction across bus, trains and ferries has risen to 91%.
Those levels compare well to Wellington at 92% and Sydney at 89% (Nov 2016).
Brendon Main, Group Manager AT Metro Operations says satisfaction levels have been rising year on year as AT has introduced more services that are more punctual and reliable.
Customer satisfaction for rail services has jumped the most from 79.0% in June 2013 to 93.7% now. Over the same period satisfaction with bus services has leapt from 80.2% to 90.5%.
Mr Main says, "Our customers are loving the changes we're making. Over the past four years we've introduced AT HOP, electric trains, double decker buses, Simpler Fares, more services and a new stations and there are more improvements on the way."
Auckland Council Planning Committee chair Councillor Chris Darby says is also pleased with the improved performance. "I use the ferry daily and I'm happy to see the satisfaction level is sitting at 91% overall.
"We're in the midst of a public transport revolution, with record levels of patronage. Aucklanders have a growing appetite for bus, ferry and rail travel, and making this reliable and easy to use is a key priority.
"We've come a long way in the past few years but we can still do better. I'm looking forward to more services rolling out across the next year, and to enhancing the punctuality and reliability to bring satisfaction closer to 100%."
Overall public transport boardings totalled 89.4 million boardings for the 12 months to August 2017, an increase of 7.1%, or 6.0 million boardings in a year.
The number of passengers using the AT HOP card has risen from 89 to 92%. Again, this is world-class in terms of uptake.
The Auckland Transport Customer Satisfaction Survey was conducted by Gravitas Research, in the 12 months to September 2017 there were 10,796 surveys done.
This is a good sign from AT and of course, there is no greater confirmation of this improvement in customer experience than the ridership figures which have been rising strongly.

Ryan Manion Borek has dedicated her life to supporting our nation's military, veterans, and families of fallen heroes. She is inspired by the character, leadership, and sacrifice of her brother 1st Lt. Travis Manion, USMC, who made the ultimate sacrifice in the Al Anbar province of Iraq while drawing fire away from his wounded comrades on April 29th, 2007.
Serving as the President of Travis Manion Foundation since 2012, Ryan leads a national movement focused on assisting veterans and families of the fallen to take the next step in their personal journeys, and inspiring the next generation of leaders. As a highly regarded advocate for the military community, Ryan has been invited to address national audiences on numerous occasions. These opportunities have also included interviews with the likes of Fox News, CNN, and many more.
While she may often speak on a national level, she is equally as proud to be the keynote speaker for Travis Manion Foundation's Character Does Matter program. This program teaches the importance of leadership and character directly to thousands of students across the country, through the inspiring stories of fallen heroes.
Carrying on the legacy of her brother Travis, Ryan continues to lead a life of service to others. This was most notably recognized in 2015 when she was selected to receive the President's Lifetime Achievement Award for Volunteer Service. In 2016 Ryan took an official appointment to serve on the Remember and Explore Subcommittee and the Honor Subcommittee for the Advisory Committee on Arlington National Cemetery. As a leader in the Veteran Non-Profit sector, Ryan also serves as a board member for the National Association of Veteran-Serving Organizations (NAVSO) and Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA). Some additional accolades include:
- 2015 Aspen Institute Scholar
- 2014 Joseph D. Helton, Jr. Award for Leadership
- 2013 Hillier (Ignite) Warrior for Warriors Award
- 2011 Commodore John Barry Distinguished Citizen Award
Ryan resides in Doylestown, PA with her husband and three children, Maggie Rose, Honor and Travis Brendan. Ryan continues to serve her local community by serving as a Township Supervisor since elected in 2011. While responsibilities of this position are focused on deciding issues of public safety, growth management, environment, etc…Ryan most appreciates the personal connection with those within the community she is able to directly serve.
Prior to Travis Manion Foundation, Ryan graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in English from Cabrini College in 2004, and would then go on to launch two very successful businesses. However a calling to public service remained in her mind, and she began a new venture with the Bucks County Department of Housing and Community Development. This allowed Ryan to feel like she could give back to others, as her position focused on administering federal, state, and county community support for housing programs. While this was rewarding, Ryan saw her mother building up Travis Manion Foundation, and knew that was where she belonged. She started with the Foundation as a board member, but as national recognition increased, her destiny was to get even more involved. Ryan left her government position to dedicate herself full-time to the Foundation. She would go on to eventually follow in her late mother's footsteps, where she remains to this day as the leader of the "If Not Me, Then Who…" movement of Travis Manion Foundation.
