Hemsin Restaurant
39-17 Queens Blvd.,
Queens, NY 11104
This venue is closed.
Step into Hemsin's quiet dining room and you'll feel as though you've walked into a tourist café in a sleepy Turkish beach town. Above the kitchen, a mural depicting the attractions of Cappadocia, Ephesus and Istanbul lends kitschy appeal; native-speaking servers, sporting white button up shirts and black pants, are uniformly curt but attentive. On the mezze platter, hummus and eggplant salad prove particularly vibrant while the lamb and chicken shish kebabs are equally smoky entrees. The grilled kofte pattiescombining beef and lambmake for an intriguing alternative for diners who crave a blend of hearty and gamey flavors. Open all day, Hemsin serves gyros and kebab sandwiches in the afternoon (take-out only), and a traditional Turkish breakfast of cheeses, eggs, cucumber, tomatoes, olives, and fresh bread with jam in the morning.Recommended Dishes
Eggplant salad, $4.95; lentil kofte, $4.95; lamb shish kebab, $14.75

Via the Weekly Standard and the Federalist, lots of buzz among social conservatives about this exchange yesterday afternoon. The soundbite in isolation isn't dramatic — Roe is, tragically, the law of the land and we do live with it — but the context makes it more ominous. A libertarian stood up at a town hall and told him point blank that he's looking for a president who's a fiscal conservative and who's also "not a threat to a woman's right to control her own body." Translation: You won't come after Roe, will you? To which Kasich replied, hey, it's the law of the land and we live with it. Gulp. Meanwhile, when CNN asked him about abortion four days ago, he dismissed their questions by insisting that the GOP spends "too much" time on the issue when there are other important problems like infant mortality and the environment to focus on. He said this, mind you, at a moment when the Planned Parenthood sting videos are consuming conservative media. Second look at Jeb?
Depending upon how well disposed you are to Kasich (which probably isn't much, given his role as the Huntsman in the 2016 race), you could view this as a case of a guy who's actually solidly pro-life trying to weasel out of a tough question from a pro-choicer. He doesn't reassure the questioner, after all, that he'd leave Roe alone; all he says is that we're living with it, which is a pretty vacant statement of intention. In fact, when reporters cornered him afterward, he revised what he said this way:
After the town hall meeting, Kasich told reporters he had signed abortion restrictions in Ohio.
"It's the law of the land until it changes," he said.
He has indeed signed abortion restrictions as governor. Per the Standard, "Kasich has overseen a drop in his state's abortion rate to all-time lows, signing into law a budget that defunded Planned Parenthood in his state and a ban on abortions performed after the fetus can be viable outside the womb." That's encouraging even though yesterday's soundbite isn't. So how damning this is depends, really, on your own personal reading of the Kasich tea leaves. Is Sean Davis right that this amounts to Kasich signaling a Mitch Daniels-esque "truce" with Democrats on social issues once he's elected president? Or, in his attempt to consolidate moderates, is he actually trying to disguise the fact that he'd firmly oppose abortion as president so that the centrist voters he needs right now don't get cold feet? You tell me.
Exit quotation via Davis: "Kasich tells Obamacare opponents they're going to hell, but won't tell an abortion supporter that he thinks Roe v. Wade was wrong."


text: Japan, as a defeated nation in World War II, was devastated, so the first priority of the Japanese government was reconstructing the nation. With scarce resources and capabilities, the Japanese government was heavily involved in developing certain industries such as motorcycles, sewing machine, steel, and shipbuilding through directing necessary resources (Porter, 1990). Companies in these industries were able to gain competitive advantages under the government's support, protection from foreign competitors, and policies like market liberation in a timely manner. Although there were other factors such as demand conditions and disciplined workers, the role of Japanese government was significant in reviving its industries.

Beirut: About 200 Syrian opposition members
have met outside the capital, Damascus, in a significant
gathering of dissidents on Syrian soil.
The Syrian opposition consists of a variety of groups
with often differing ideologies, including Islamists and
secularists, and there have been many meetings of dissidents
who say they represent the opposition. But yesterday`s meeting
was unusual in part because it was held inside Syria, rather
than neighbouring countries.
A news conference was planned for today.
The Syrian uprising began in mid-March, amid a wave of
protests in the Arab world that toppled autocrats in Tunisia,
Egypt and Libya. Syrian President Bashar Assad has reacted
with deadly force that the UN estimates has left some 2,600
people dead.

This week's language news includes the release of the book, Shakespeare in America, a book tracing the American enthusiasm for Shakespeare since even before the revolution. It contains American writings about and adaptations of Shakespeare, and is edited by James Shapiro. Some of the stories from the civil war seem particularly fitting. What was Othello like in a civil war context? What did Lincoln think of Macbeth? Why has America been so interested in Shakespeare? Perhaps because the themes in his plays echo the themes and struggles of this country. For instance, "Issues like immigration and race that couldn't be dealt with directly could be confronted through Shakespeare," Shapiro said. "We didn't have a language to express our feelings about these troubling questions."
For a brief introduction to the role of Shakespeare in the US, one can look to the National Endowment for the Arts' page on Shakespeare in American Communities. This page long summary traces through a history of the the country beginning with the English immigrants bringing their most treasured possessions to the new world, the Complete Works among them. The NEA also shows that although Shakespeare has been considered popular entertainment for many years, recent decades have marginalized his work to a high-brow status. Not something for blue-collar workers, but for the elite, the privileged, the cultured. Part of the NEA's work with Shakespeare is to battle this recent shift, and to keep Shakespeare's words as a treasure open to everyone.
Some of the most encouraging news on this front is the ever present articles on young people performing Shakespeare's plays, or people adapting Shakespeare to make it more their own. This week we can read of undergrads in Texas speak at length about the work they've done with the text to prepare for their performance of Romeo and Juliet. The Appalachian Women's Theater Troupe is premiering a new play, "A Part Equal". Dereck Davisdon, professor at Appalachian State University wrote the play around women writers influenced by Shakespeare. And with so many American theaters, and competitions and festivals focused on Shakespeare, his future looks to be at least as interesting as his past.

Maybe you've thought about cosmetic dental work - but felt a little vain to consider it.
Or the appearance of your teeth never bothered you much, because your dental health is pretty good.
But fixing a small functional problem can sometimes yield wonderful, unanticipated dividends. Mary, for instance, had a few dental imperfections most of us could live with. But she was hampered from time to time by a lispy "s" sound.
Mary had gapped teeth, a diastema, which caused a slight but noticeable speech defect. She also showed evidence of life in the fast lane, too: teeth worn down, probably from nervous clenching of the jaw muscles or grinding teeth.
In Mary's case - and every case is different - porcelain veneers saved the day. Her cosmetic dentist began with a functional and esthetic evaluation to determine what shape and contour would best solve Mary's diastema problem. More tooth length was proposed, to give her a more youthful, proportioned appearance, too.
Impressions were taken, and sent off to the lab for fabrication. On the next visit, her teeth were cleaned and etched chemically, the dental veneers were cemented into place, and "cured" with a special light to seal them.
Mary's speech problem evaporated. Dentistry fixed that. But cosmetic dentistry did more than perfect her speech.
WHEN FUNCTION = BEAUTYLike an acrylic fingernail, veneers cover the front surface of the teeth. Porcelain dental veneers are strong and, by the way, look great.
As an architect of more that 60 years, I have learned that only the beautiful is practical. And universally, anything that is truly practical, functional, and useful is beautiful.
-Frank Lloyd Wright
Not even the most beautiful teeth can look attractive if healthy and pleasing-looking gums do not surround them. That's because the gums frame the teeth like a picture frame frames a picture. To have a pleasing smile, the shape, color, and texture of the gums are just as important as that of the teeth they frame. Although tooth development, periodontal disease, trauma, or tooth loss can create esthetic gum deformities, modern periodontal procedures and cosmetic dentistry can give individuals a smile to smile about.
As a result of periodontal disease, gums may appear red, swollen, and shiny. If an individual has gingivitis or periodontitis, the gums have to be periodontally treated prior to cosmetic dentistry procedures.
Teeth that appear too short may be normal-sized teeth hiding under too much gum. This can be the result of normal tooth development, or the use of certain medications that may cause gums to overgrow. Either way, a crown lengthening procedure can help reveal the normal tooth structure.
If the teeth appear to be too long or if the root surfaces are exposed, it may be due to gum recession. Soft tissue grafting is very successful in correcting this problem.
If the gum margins appear to be higher on some teeth and lower on others, this may be due to gum recession, altered eruption, or gum defects that resulted from tooth loss. The treatment of uneven gum margins may require crown lengthening, soft tissue grafting, ridge augmentation, or a combination of these procedures.
After a tooth is lost, the bone that encased it disintegrates and the gum around it may collapse, creating an indentation where the tooth used to be. Ridge augmentation procedures can help correct this problem.
Changes in the color of the gums may be part of normal gum development, or the result of scarring. Soft tissue grafts can predictably correct this problem.
Periodontal disease can result in spaces in between the teeth that may appear like black triangles. These spaces can be very difficult to treat. They can be made less unattractive by a combination of procedures that include orthodontics (braces), crowns (caps), and/or periodontal (gum) surgery. The best way to avoid these spaces is to treat periodontal disease in its early stages and avoid the need later for cosmetic dentistry.
One or more missing teeth can be predictably replaced with the aid of dental implants. Dental implants can look and feel like natural teeth.
Changes in the appearance of the gums can occur as a result of normal tooth development, periodontal disease, trauma, or tooth loss. By working with a restorative dentist who has expertise in cosmetic dental care and through the aid of modern periodontal techniques, individuals can design a smile that is both esthetic and youthful in appearance.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have made an unscheduled visit to Slave Lake, Alberta. It was decided that the couple would visit here after news regarding wildfires which had caused great danger to the locals and caused the population of 7,000 people to evacuate. William and Kate looked at the ruins left by the fires with great sadness. Upon arrival they were met by a small number of dignitaries and quickly left via mini bus to meet with residents. Most of Slave Lake's locals attempted to get a glimpse of the Royal couple. People who met Kate had nothing but good things to say especially 'She is so much like Diana'.
It was very much a casual, laid back visit. Not about speeches or meeting with heads of state and Duchess Kate's style reflected that. She wore the same navy Smythe blazer she was last seen wearing when boarding the plane for Ottawa. She teamed it with a white ruffled blouse, J Brand jeans and her black Pied A Terre jeans. She always manages to make jeans look classy, I loved this look on Kate. Even William opted for slacks (We know how he loves his navy suits :)) I'm thinking her blouse might be couture couture below but do not know for certain yet. Any thoughts? :)

The love of God and kindness to others are just two Christian themes in Charles Dickens' classic story A Christmas Carol. In this episode of the Finding Christ In Cinema podcast, we discuss these themes and how you can use them to talk about God.

The Love of God is Not In Him…Yet
Ebenezer Scrooge is a hard man, especially at Christmas time. His father left him alone at the schoolhouse for several years in a row, his sister died giving birth to her son, his fiancé left him, and his business partner has died. All these tragic events have turned Scrooge's heart to stone, and they have brought him near to a place beyond redemption.
The only thing that has kept Scrooge "soft" – in the basest sense of the word – is his love of money. He values his coins in his hand more than his clerk in his counting house. He refuses to donate to charity because he already "supports" – again, in the basest sense of the word – the prisons and workhouses. And worst of all, he wishes that anyone who can't find their comfort in those establishments had better die and do it quick. Obviously, the love of God is not in this man.
Such is the stasis of our protagonist until Jacob Marley shows up. And Marley has not been stirred from his grave to bring comfort to his old business partner; instead, he has come to make Scrooge aware of the doom that awaits him upon death. But after he has opened Scrooge's eyes to his folly, Marley then tells Scrooge of a chance he has to escape such fate. And thankfully, Scrooge jumps at the chance, even if timidly so, and the love of God is once again awakened in Scrooge – this time, forevermore.
Fan the Flame of Kindness
The Spirits of Christmas, however, still had their work cut out for them. Someone as wretched as Scrooge has to be softened up before they can even lean toward repentance, and for Scrooge, that decalcifying process starts by examining the kindness in Scrooge's past that originated from Scrooge's sister Fan and flows through her son and Scrooge's nephew Fred.
As Scrooge is spending another Christmas alone at school, Fan bursts in through the door and back into Scrooge's heart, fanning the flame (heh) of love within him. And while that warmth momentarily brought Scrooge back home, it quickly vanished as Fan died giving birth to Fred, who carries his mother's patience for the mean uncle.
But when Scrooge recognizes his sister's kindness in his nephew, he is then able to let his heart be softened once again in order that he may continue in his walk with the Spirits of Christmas all year long. Scrooge then starts his new walk by accepting Fred's invitation to Christmas dinner. Fred welcomes him with open arms and a smile – the same open arms and smile that he got from his mother, Scrooge's sister Fan.
Key Texts
1 John 3:17 NLT
If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion—how can God's love be in that person?
Romans 2:4 NLT
Don't you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can't you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?

A new report has thrown more light on how crime can be inadvertently encouraged by factors such as poor building design and poor management of places where crime can break out, such as pubs and bars.The report will be useful to police forces and local authorities working to draw up the first ever joint action plans to fight crime on an area by area basis.
Opportunity Makes the Thief, published by the Policing and Reducing Crime Unit at the Home Office, shows how crime can arise out of opportunity.
The report says that studies of bars and pubs show that their management and design can lead to violence – such as when they are very large, dominated by jostling young males and manned by untrained and inexperienced bar staff.
It also suggests resources to tackle crime should be focused on local hotspots. For example, drugdealers and second hand markets can be responsible for attracting and spreading crime in an area.
It also urges planners to consider crime potential problems when involved in urban planning. For example, locating a school near a shopping centre may lead to shoplifting and truancy problems.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
Forum Moderators: open
There has been some speculation here and there as to whether or not Google tweaks its own, i.e. PR10. In a recent post GoogleGuy claimed this was not so. This #4 placement in Google has set it in my humble mind and opinion that they do not as stated by GoogleGuy. [webmasterworld.com]
Q: Are the ODP and Google sites naturally occurring PR10 (PR11 for Google?) or is there some manual intervention for larger sites to ensure they have suitable PR?
A: It's all natural.
At this rate - google won't be in the top 1,000 pages by the end of the month :)
[search engines] gives a completely different result - with dogpile being #1.
...it helps show that we're impartial...
It appears that Google Inc.'s opinion is that Altavista is the most relevant result for "Search Engine" ;) This seems to be backed up by Altavista as they believe Altavista is the most relevant also.
Although ATW doesn't share this opinion it does say "AltaVista provides the most comprehensive search experience on the Web!"
Inktomi also concurs that Altavista should be placed above Google.
Temoa has Altavista 9 places ahead of Google.
So it appears that most major search engines agree that Altavista is the most relevant result for "Search Engine" :)
Adwords til their rankings recover?
We need to start adding links to our pages. I used to have my profile site as google.com, but took it down cause some people seemed to think that suggested I worked there. Look what happened :)
I didn't even know what that meant for sure - look at the crap you can find on google for those words:
This sentence has three a's, two c's, two d's, nineteen e's, six f's, two g's, five h's, ten i's, two l's, twelve n's, nine o's, five r's, twenty six s's, sixteen t's, four u's, four v's, eight w's, four x's, and two y's.
They still are a good search engine no matter what google tells you. Oh wait - I get it now.
Q: Are the ODP and Google sites naturally occuring PR10 (PR11 for Google?) or is there some manual intervention for larger sites to ensure they have suitable PR?
A: It�s all natural.
I'm still working over the "DMOZ/ODP PR is natural" statement in my mind.
I'll buy that its natural to the calculation, but circumstances surrounding its backlinks are unnatural.
While other mirrors of the ODP aren't indexed and don't count as backlinks [google.com], every page of Google's Google Directory mirror links to the ODP home page (dmoz.org) and also links to dmoz.org/about.html and these links do count as hugely valuable backlinks. Just a sidenote, the "about" page has even more backlinks (30,000 more [google.com]) and a PR10 compared to the home page's PR9.
So in this sense, it is not natural, whether you want to make the case that the other mirrors should count or Google's mirror should not. Based on their own standards, no mirror should be indexed. It seems to me that google sought to boost the importance of the ODP in this manner while maintaining the integrity of the PR system.
I'd be curious about your reaction to this, GG. As websites go, the ODP isn't the worst thing to pimp, but I don't its link popularity, pagerank, or status can be called natural phenomena.
Tell you what, give me 2,060,000 backlinks [google.com] from directory.google.com and we'll call it even. ;)
Google is dropping. They were #1, last time I checked they were #3, and when you checked they were #4 - Now they are #5.
Replace "Google" with "My site" and you have the status quo. Dominic's hit just about everyone. Whose idea was it to mimic the hurricane naming convention?! :)
Google #1 even though 'best' is nowhere to be found in their tags or content on the page resulted. I know linking and all that comes into play...but the first word in a given search is heavy weighted too. The later results did have best in the gathered description.
Maybe when 'objective' becomes 'subjective' the pigeons roost near home...
I love Google, but the Google I love is the one that got them where they are...the past months have been terrible.
Just at the time 'Google' became a pop-culture known name--they stink up the results with old stuff and spam.
As of this very moment just being the biggest doesn't mean you are the best.
Google has all the corporate kick having all the major players on their client list with Yahoo! and AOL, but they really need to get their house in order.
The calling for patience--which has been happening for months on end with excuse after excuse is becoming to sound like denial rather than a responsible entity that sincerely means to improve and become relevent.
The Titanic was a marvel the world over...
And no guys this isn't belly-aching. What I am saying is just sound business practice. The music about Google being all everything all everywhere has been playing so loud for so long that we are not hearing the lyrics Google is belting out over the past while.
There is patience and there is common courtesy. When you go somewhere for over a long bit of time and something smells, how long are you to wait before saying "Hey guys something died in here"
you "Google". (I think they have that keyword covered...)
That is shocking! someone really needs to fill out a spam report on those guys!
Talk about duplicate content!
And each one of those high PR domains has a link to their main domain!
How many exclamation points can I use in this message!
However, they really can't come out and say this, and they DO work towards a more automated process. But humans must always get involved, that will never change, and a small team of referees will always exist.
I'm convinced that whatever this Google Tantrum was about, it has cost them dearly and the recovery will be slow.
Even if we all got our previous results returned and then better -would we be as loyal to Google or take ATW a little more seriously?
It ranks #1 for 'most relevant search engine'(no quotes).
mysite.com ranks #1 for the keyphrase that has been dropped buy google.
Obviously, this means Google is broken.;)
Oh my GAWD is it a slow shuttle.

Top students named at the 2017 NSW Training Awards - Hunter
Ben McDonald from Cessnock and Reece Arday from Belmont North have taken out the top honours at the 2017 NSW Training Awards – Hunter.
Ben, who is studying at the Hunter Valley Training Company, was named local Apprentice of the Year while Reece, who is training at TAFE NSW, claimed the local Trainee of the Year Award.
Ben has completed a Certificate III in Electrotechnology – Electrician while working at the Peabody – Wambo underground mine. Reece is undertaking a Cert IV in Business Administration while working at Port Stephens Council.
Deputy Premier and Minister for Skills, Regional NSW and Small Business, John Barilaro, said the regional award winners would go on to be considered for selection to compete at the NSW Training Awards in September.
"The awards celebrate the achievements of the best in vocational training in NSW and I wish all regional award winners the very best of luck in the State finals in September.
"The NSW Training Awards represent the highest level of recognition for apprentices, trainees and the teachers who participate in VET and they celebrate the outstanding effort thousands of individuals, employers and training organisations put into VET each year.
"This year we received a record number of total entries for the awards showing that there's a renewed energy and enthusiasm around VET in NSW.
"We also recently launched a VET repositioning campaign to change the public perception of VET into one that aligns a VET education with providing better pathways to rewarding, in-demand jobs now and in the future.
"According to the independent recent Skilling Australia report, VET training is offered in NSW for 9 out of the 10 occupations predicted to have the best growth over the next five years including jobs in industries like healthcare, bio-tech and cyber security, agriculture, ICT, and tourism.
"VET also offers a higher employment rate and more pay – 78 per cent of VET graduates are employed after training versus 69 per cent for University graduates and median full-time income for a VET graduate is $56,000 versus $54,000 for a Bachelor degree graduate," Mr Barilaro said.

This is meant to bring the Vampire Chronicles together with the Mayfair Witches. And it does do that...but very ham-handedly.
Quinn randomly meets Mona in the hospital cafe, is randomly besotted with her at first sight, and has sex with her the next day, and within said day is trying to get her away from her family and out of the country, and wants to marry her. Which could be done well. No, really, it could. The Gothic is a genre based on emotion and romance, so a whirlwind-but-sincere connection as lovers could be done well here if the work was put into building the proper chemistry and it integrated with the larger story.
But it does neither. There is zero chemistry building, it's really just Quinn being obsessed at random with Mona, and Mona only showing any signs of 'reciprocation' when it means escaping her family, and it bogs down the plot at length with really very little relevance to the larger story, which just goes on hold for chapters and chapters of this nonsense. It's basically the clumsiest most forced-coincidental shove-together of a witch and a will-be-vampire so that the books can merge storylines.
And it's like...a more organic way for them to meet would hardly be difficult to accomplish? Look, Quinn already knows Father Kevin. He's already told him about Goblin, and Father Kevin believes him. Father Kevin admits to believing a lot about the supernatural, and it's no surprise, given his family and that he knows the Talamasca. And Father Kevin, due to this personal connection, came to visit Quinn in the hospital after the stranger attacked him.
Why not say that despite Father Kevin's reservations regarding the Talamasca, he believed that they were the best people to help Quinn? That would be very easy and natural, much more so than his love-at-first-sight meeting with the girl who just happens to see ghosts and be the most important Mayfair witch ever. Father Kevin could bring Quinn to the Talamasca, and they would probably be most intrigued by his tale of Rebecca and the mysterious stranger he believes responsible for her death and others, and they would begin to look into with him, moving the plot along. If meeting Mona and having a romance with her is a must, that's easily done too---since she's with the Talamasca as well, he can meet her through them, and she can help solve the mystery with him, since she's clearly interested as well. They can forge a much more organic connection over time without derailing the plot, and introduce the Mayfairs and their skeevy mysteries in a much more natural, well-paced way so that it runs concurrently with the main plot, rather than pushing it to the side for chapters on end of awkward "romance" and I-just-met-you-but infodumping.
It might take a bit more effort, and I know Rice loves her insta-connections, but I really think this would work so much better for a number of reasons, and I'd probably enjoy it a lot more.
Quinn says he and AQ had "more insubstantial and agonizing conversation about the Mayfairs" before bed.
When he goes upstairs, an alarmed Big Ramona tells him that Goblin opened the window even though she shut it twice and he typed COME DOWN on the computer. Big Ramona warns Quinn he's getting stronger and stronger...which we knew but I guess is news to people who aren't Quinn. I think this is the first time anyone in his home has so openly and factually acknowledged Goblin. She tells him he's got to go to Confession and that Goblin is from the Devil.
Quinn then goes to talk with Goblin in the cemetery. Goblin believes that Quinn will leave him if he goes to Europe with Mona. Quinn tells Goblin how he's worried about him, how he's learning more things since the stranger attacked, and Quinn tries to hide his fear, reminding himself that Goblin can't read his mind, and thinking about how he's so in love with Mona he hasn't been thinking about Goblin (so, not thinking about him for like a day then) They talk a bit about Europe and Quinn promises to hold his hand there, Quinn thinks some more about the stranger and the Hermitage, and taking Mona there once the place is all fixed up and how exciting it is that she isn't afraid.
Goblin warns him: "Be careful. He comes. He thinks I don't know him and he means harm."
And then the lights go out (they've gone from the cemetery to the patio at this point) and someone grabs Quinn from behind and pins one arm behind his back! Yup, it's the stranger, back again!
Stranger tells Quinn that if he calls for help or his "spirit friend" he'll kill him and "you and all your dreams will be gone" which is kind of an odd threat/way to phrase it. Quinn is "in a rage" and says "I fought you once, I'll fight you again"
uh you mean GOBLIN did, Quinn
I'm gonna summarize, I don't have it in my for direct quotes. The Stranger establishes he's watching them by listing some of AQ's daily routines, then offers Quinn a deal: He gets to use the place by night, Quinn gets to use it by day, and Quinn is to make improvements to it. He then lists some improvements, from which Quinn concludes he was reading his mind, so I guess they're the same things Quinn wanted...which sorely makes me wish the Stranger had instead asked for super tacky hot pink and leopard and rhinestone decor so I could watch Quinn squirm with the indignity of having to indulge such bad taste XD Although to be honest, the fact that a BRONZE staircase is part of the suggested remodeling might qualify there in terms of just being so OTT in displaying wealth, especially alongside all the fine gold chairs and marble tables and such.
He also tells Quinn "I want to be friends with you" and "it's nice having my arms around you" cuz I guess he has to have a crush on Quinn too. Quinn asks him about dumping the bodies in the swamp, he laughs and tells Quinn he can take the chains in the house away, and to caution his workmen not to tell anyone about the place to people, and if they have to hire outsiders, make them locals.
The Stranger tells Quinn he knows that he's become "enamored" with Rebecca, that she wants vengeance from Quinn against those who have harmed her and will settle for Quinn's own life because he's a Blackwood, that "I warn you against her" and that Quinn's happiness both gives her strength and causes her pain. He says he's been "privy" to the dreams in which Rebecca visits and thus knows her "tawdry desires". Quinn brings up how Rebecca was tortured in chains, the Stranger asks "you defend her to me?" and Quinn responds not about Rebecca but that "you spy on me night and day" and the Stranger says "I wish I could."
Despite the story, Quinn's day to day life doesn't actually seem like it would be that interesting most of the time to me, actually, but okay.
The Stranger says that he's going to take his arms away so Quinn can turn and look at him, and if he keeps his end of the bargain he'll never hurt him, his family, "or your darling love with the red hair or her clan of witches."
Quinn indeed whirls to look at him. He is six feet tall with thick black hair pulled back in a long ponytail from a square forehead with high temples, big black eyes with dark brows that give him a determined expression, square jaw, and a "long line of a smiling mouth". He is wearing a fine black suit.
Then he is "gone as surely as if he'd dematerialized like Goblin."
Goblin himself then appears and tells Quinn that he doesn't disappear, he uses speed. Um, I thought Quinn said Goblin COULDN'T read his mind?
Goblin also says that "had I come between you, Quinn, he would have crushed you. He was too ready for me, Quinn. He wasn't afraid." which explains why he didn't intervene.
Quinn goes to tell Aunt Queen, who is having some champagne and sherbet in her chaise while she watches The Scarlet Empress while Jasmine is fast asleep under the covers, and tells her about what happened. It begins with this funny little exchange:
Quinn: "Listen, I know I'm fast losing my reputation with you as a sane person."
AQ: "That's quite alright. You have a powerful reputation as my great-nephew."
Anyway he says the Stranger appeared and got him in a chokehold, and made demands about refurbishing the Hermitage and sharing it, and how he'd kill Quinn if he didn't agree. Aunt Queen is "aghast" and Quinn tells her how the strangest part is that the refurbishing requests are all things that Quinn already wanted exactly, as if he'd plucked it from Quinn's mind, and lists each thing in detail.
Again, I wish the Stranger wanted something done that Quinn WASN'T already planning on.
Quinn says the Stranger isn't human but isn't like Goblin, and so he has to go to Mona because she and Stirling Oliver will know what he is.
Aunt Queen tells him to stop raving, he'll wake Jasmine, who actually has already sat up. And despite the fact she is awake and right there, Quinn says, as if she's not there, "Don't bring her into this, she'll be a nuisance."
He says he's gonna write out a plan for the renovations and then go see Mona, Aunt Queen says it's midnight and "you must talk to me before you leave to see Mona."
...or...not go see her right now...because it's after midnight? Also, he is talking to her, so...?
Quinn tells---not asks---that Aunt Queen "vow" to allocate the funds for repairing the Hermitage, saying it's nothing compared to what they spend all the time on Blackwood Manor, and then remembers that he himself has the money for it and "I can afford it. How amazing." and how he can't wait to see it when it's all fixed up.
AQ is like and you're going to share if with a man who dumps bodies for alligators? To which Quinn responds, "Maybe I was wrong. Maybe something else was happening."
...I hope he's just saying that to assuage Aunt Queen, rather than suddenly sincerely dropping something he was so adamant on the moment he gets the opportunity to play house with the Hermitage.
"Now he's no obstacle, don't you see? An hour ago he was a giant stumbling block to all I dreamt of for the Hermitage. He was an invader. Now he's part of the scheme. He asked for nothing I didn't want already."
So, like, fuck Rebecca and the other murder victims, I guess?
And then he says oh by the way he's been watching us, he knows our routines. Like that's no big deal either. But Aunt Queen's expression is "dreadful" like a rational person's should be. She asks Jasmine if she's listening, Jasmine says when she's old and gray she'll be telling the tourists how Quinn disappeared into the swamp one day and never came back.
Man, if only.
Quinn goes and writes up a plan for the Hermitage renovations. He tells us all about the details of his decorative choices, but I won't bore you with that. Mainly because I don't wanna type it all out.
He thinks about how while he is afraid of the Stranger, he isn't as much afraid as he should be, that what he said to Aunt Queen is true, that he wants this renovation for the Hermitage too and now the mysterious stranger isn't an obstacle to that anymore.
Again, the issue of the people Quinn is sure are actively being killed--since he's sure he saw the Stranger dumping bodies in the swamp---is not brought up at all. I guess that's a non-issue now?
More about the renovation plans, and Goblin says "Evil, Quinn. Quinn Goblin will die in any direction."
Quinn of course asks what he means by that, Goblin says that everyone---Aunt Queen, Nash, Rebecca, Mona, the Stranger--wants Quinn, and repeats "any direction and Quinn Goblin dies."
Quinn says they'll never be separated, Goblin looks cold and dissolves. Quinn nonetheless continues talking, saying they can't be seperated, that only Goblin can make them die or divide them "and that would be by leaving me."
He's not sure if Goblin heard him but is "too madly excited to care"
Quinn gives his renovation plans to Aunt Queen and the Shed Men.
He goes back and feels a wave of giddiness and says when he looks back on this moment he remembers how in love he is with Mona and how excited by the mysterious stranger and how invincible he felt despite the "strong evidence I was not" and that Goblin's words mean nothing to him. He suspects he's just being jealous.
"Yes, I was drawing away from him. Yes, Goblin Quinn was going to die. It had to happen because Manhood was going to happen. And on the battlefield of Manhood, Mona was my Princess and the Mysterious Stranger a dark knight riding near me or even against me in a joust of which I was only just learning the rules."
I'm not even gonna make fun of this, I think it does that fine on its own. And he thinks how he and this dark knight will talk in the Hermitage and how it will turn out the bodies were just an illusion or dream. He wonders what he can do for Rebecca, since he can't give her a life, so he just says a prayer that her soul is in Heaven with God.
"Very reluctantly I lay down to sleep beside Big Ramona and when I woke it was to the murky dawn, and I had the heavy task of Manhood upon me."
Hey, so Quinn? If you wanna start on this Manhood with a capital M thing, MAYBE STOP SLEEPING WITH YOUR OLD NANNY WHAT THE FUCK MAN

Chummy Chum and Saint Augustine Nursing Students conduct Outreach Program at Guanella Home
2:53 PM - Prudence M - 0 Comments
Chummy Chum received an invitation from the nursing students of Saint Augustine-Novaliches to for their Outreach Program at Guanella Home for Special Children and Adults located at Pingkian Rd., Tandang Sora, Quezon City.
The students wanted to bring happiness and cheer to these persons with special needs as most of them were being neglected and not being cared for by their families due, perhaps, to lack of knoweldge about their conditions. The home staff of Guanella serve as angels to these kids and adults alike. The home staff invite sponsors and groups with generous heart, to share a day and interact with them.
As what has always been Chummy Chum's mission, we of course do not pass up the opportunity to share our blessings with kids, especially those who are marginalized in our society. And as always, the kids' laughter and smiles are ultimately the best reward we can ever get.

The logo's symbolism represents the many and varied artists born of the area, including talents in visual arts (sketching, painting, and sculpting); music (blues, boogie-woogie, country, and rhythm and blues); and television and film (acting, art and animation, directing, producing, and inventing audio/video technologies). The logo's top symbol and the new header image (to be added soon) represent nature and the area's characteristic terrain; the header image will show waterways as well as the greenery. And the diamond shape, while reminiscent of those in the state flag and the Southeast Arkansas Community College logo, also represents Mayor Shirley Washington's recent description of Pine Bluff as being a diamond (well, maybe with some parts of that diamond being in the rough, but not for too long!).

Pakistan 119 for 3 (Babar 31*, Morkel 3-18) beat South Africa 219 for 8 (Miller 75*, de Kock 33, Hasan 3-24) by 19 runs (DLS method)
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
Never mind the damp conclusion; this is Birmingham in June, what did you expect? The weather shouldn't detract from the fact that Pakistan pulled off an upset in the game of the tournament so far. It is a shame the contest wasn't able to carry on till its natural conclusion, because it could have been the day the 2017 Champions Trophy finally came to life. Instead, it was the day Pakistan ensured they remained alive, beating South Africa by 19 runs via the DLS method to complete a turnaround only they seem to be able to manage, and with inexplicable regularity.
Pakistan put on a vastly improved bowling display as they shackled South Africa's batsmen to restrict them to 219. It might have been nearer 150 when Pakistan got rid of six South African batsmen inside the first 30 overs for 118, but David Miller, so often required only to provide late firepower, showed his all-round batting credentials. He anchored the innings with an unbeaten 75 off 104 balls. Hasan Ali finished with 3 for 24.
It turns out you can open the bowling with two quality fast bowlers in England conditions, after all. Mohammad Amir and Junaid Khan were tight and disciplined, bowling to a plan, meticulous in ensuring South Africa's openers were not allowed width. Hashim Amla and Quinton de Kock had to shuffle around to manipulate the ball past the inner circle, never quite looking as comfortable as they so often do. A superb opportunity to get a wicket was missed as early as the second over, with de Kock setting off for a suicidal single, and only Shoaib Malik's inability to hit the stumps spared him.
The seamers might have started well, but the spinners wounded South Africa. Imad Wasim - brought on inside the first Powerplay - removed Amla with his second delivery, the batsman missing his nudge off a straight ball.
De Kock joined him soon after. He had survived an lbw shout off Mohammad Hafeez as Pakistan failed to review an lbw call that would have been overturned, but he hadn't learned his lesson and missed a sweep off Hafeez. South Africa's innings went from shaky to all-out panic just an over later, when captain AB de Villiers slashed Imad Wasim first ball straight to backward point. Pakistan suddenly had complete control of the game.
Miller tried to take some control of the South African innings, stepping out to hit two sixes, but South Africa simply could not get partnerships going. Duminy and Parnell were victims of contenders for ball of the tournament, each pitching around off stump and tailing away. Duminy got an outside edge that carried to first slip, while Parnell could put no barrier between ball and off stump. South Africa were 118 for 6, and Pakistan were running through them.
Chris Morris gave Miller some company as South Africa looked to get as close to 200 as possible, but there were no signs of the ragged death bowling that had been a feature of Pakistan's performance against India. Mohammad Amir and Junaid Khan were unplayable at times, bowling reverse swinging yorkers almost on demand.
Miller was able to hold his side's innings together though. It was a small win in an innings where Pakistan had the upper hand almost from start to finish. Other than Morne Morkel's bowling, it was the only positive South Africa could cling to on a day even the most conniving spin doctor could struggle to describe as anything other than a disappointment for the world's top-ranked side.
Set 220, Pakistan approached the run chase the way modern teams have been doing all around the world, but coming from Pakistan, it still felt like a novelty. Fakhar Zaman was clearly given a job to do, but actually doing it against Kagiso Rabada and Wayne Parnell under gloomy skies on debut is altogether different. He was dismissive of any width, slashing the ball through the covers and behind point at every opportunity, and even creating width when there wasn't any to smash the bowlers square of the wicket either side.
But it's the nature of quick hitting that it is always likely to be ephemeral. Morkel, whose place in the side has been a subject of such debate of late, reigned in a galloping Pakistan. Both openers were dismissed in one over as the tall fast bowler exploited both his variation and the bounce he invariably seems to generate on every surface. That over was followed by 20 straight dot deliveries as South Africa neutralised Pakistan's flying start and came roaring back into the game. Morkel's opening spell reading 5-1-7-2.
Hafeez and Babar Azam were stuck with negotiating the sustained pressure the bowlers were putting on them by now, the renewed energy in the fielding side palpable. Both were hanging around without ever looking especially comfortable, and South Africa always seemed to be on the cusp of a wicket. That arrived, somewhat inevitably, with the second ball of Morkel's second spell, as Hafeez tried to pull one that grew too big on him, leaving Imran Tahir to take his second catch of the evening.
Rather than add pressure on Pakistan, that somehow relieved it, and what followed was their most free-scoring spell since the first six overs. Rabada and Morkel went for two boundaries each in their subsequent overs, and by the time rain intervened, Pakistan were 19 runs ahead on the DLS equation. That was good enough, on a day an unfancied Pakistan side had generally been exactly that.

Progress on new Characters #2
Finished unwrapping remaining golem parts and continuing baking normal maps.
This is the first set of Golem parts and we are planning to have a variety of different Golem sets. I think it would be a good idea to lay out each set on an individual texture sheet to keep everything organised.
So far normal maps are pretty neat, seams are barely visible. Golem will be finished soon!

Furious Greeks lampoon German 'overlords' as Nazis with picture of Merkel dressed as an SS g• www.dailymail.co.uk
Greeks angry at the fate of the euro are comparing the German government with the Nazis who occupied the country in the Second World War.
Newspaper cartoons have presented modern-day German officials dressed in Nazi uniform, and a street poster depicts Chancellor Angela Merkel dressed as an officer in Hitler's regime accompanied with the words: 'Public nuisance.'
She wears a swastika armband bearing the EU stars logo on the outside.
The backlash has been provoked by Germany's role in driving through painful measures to stop Greece's debt crisis from spiralling out of control.

So! where to begin… I guess the start… We've mastered the art of turning up on time, what I mean by that is no matter what time plan to meet up or be collected… it'll be precisely an hour later.
Before I begin a shout out to Mr Chunky Chirps for his extra pair of hands on our excursion to the south west, motivation and general lugging kit about really made the Newquay chapter of the Street Gig tour an easier one and one to remember.
We stopped in Plymouth on the way to Newquay to rest after the long drive from Brighton, which happened to fly by with the help of a few renditions of the obvious Proclaimers and Hanson songs… did I say Hanson… erm no?! Not much to say about Plymouth as we didn't see much, but the Route 38 cafe looked like a very promising for a lovely bit of toady… ah, it wasn't. Using the Brighton Breakfast Review rating guide we marked this wannabe redneck eatery at 1 out of 5 mushrooms. The 1 Mushroom point came from our "Kick his arse Sea-bass" impressions… which we all know is from the film Dumb and Dumber… except Ad (Me, Myself and Irene).
As we had already Street Gigged Newquay 3 years ago we knew the perfect plot of public right of way, but forgot how to get there. 5 backseat drivers a TomTom with a sense of humor, many 3 point turns and a very confusing one way system later, we found our spot. In the past we've met a lot of resistence doing street gigs, this year seems to be going pretty smooth! We popped ino Sainsbury to let them know what we were up to and they gave us free parking for the day! all the local businesses and bars surrounding said that they don't mind us making a noise and they'll even switch off their music systems to have a listen in! What lovely people! or did I speak to soon… We almost got to finishing our set, Rob started playing the teasing intro melody of I Want You when the standing crowd we had gathered started to BOOOOOOH… I was greatly confused, I Want You is a tune! Ahhhh… There was a man in Blue amongst us (HE'S BEHIND YOOOOUUUU). He started to mumble saying he had a complaint etc so I asked our lovely bunch of listeners if they had a problem… no problem, he then changed his tone and got a bit weird whispering into my ear… "if you don't stop now, I'll pull your plug"… I was confused, was he a PCSO or a strip-o-gram?! As we have the power of a PA system I addressed this to the crowd, he didn't seem happy. Apparantly it's illeagle to amplify anything in the public area… roll on next election when party members go round with their megaphoned cars. He had a complaint and was only doing his job to be fair, it helped us greatly too… the "naughty" factor really makes us look tough. LOL. Ah have I just lost the toughness by LOL-ing…
But it seemed that this was meant to be, as soon as we switched off Jenny the Genny the rain came.
We decided to retire for the day and after a spot of lunch with a confusing assumption of a Garlic Bread serving we hired some wet suits and boards and hit the beach!! I say we collectively, Ad and Mike played no part in the surfing, but made up for it in "Getting the van" duty. So Rob, Chunky Chirps, Craigy and I looking like Pro's hit the waves. The look soon faded. We were being bowled over by nearly every wave. But to be fair we did "pop up" a few times… and got up on a few waves.
Surfing is pretty tiring.
After a night of "You're not from round here are you" we managed to escape unscathed from a small village and get an early night for another day in Newquay.
Trying to find a spot as good as yesterday was proving difficult. So we took up someones driveway. Yup, that's right. Someone had seen us the day before and offered us the driveway outside Goofy's, a popular lodge right next to one of the beaches.
A BIG shout out to Andy at Goofy's thank you very much brother! Goofy's was a few steps away from the entrance to the surf festival so we had a lot of people stopping on their way! A trouble free street gig and hopefully we made lots of new friends and fans
We're just editing a few video's so for all you non-readers… congratulations if you got this far, if I were you I'd look at changing my reading ability status, next blog will be up as soon as we have them done!
And for all you VIP members… little suprises coming your way VERY soon.

Maybe I've talked about this before, maybe I haven't, but when I was a little girl, I had an enormous oral surgery. I must've been in elementary school, maybe 9 or 10 years old, and they had to do surgery because as it turned out, I had too many teeth in my head. The teeth that were supposed to be replacing my baby teeth couldn't come in because I had too many baby teeth and they weren't coming out, or something along those lines. Listen, I was knocked out for the surgery and I'm not a fuckin' doctor so don't ask me about specifics. I just remember it happening, alright.
Anyway, my point is, I have a hole in my tooth. It's in the back side of my lower right jaw. It came from eating something, and while it doesn't really hurt except once a month or so, I recognize I should get it looked at at some point, when I have money, so, in other words, never. It doesn't really bother me, like I said, and I often run my tongue over the hole for fun. I think a good reason it happened was because I almost exclusively, throughout my life, had chewed with the right side of my jaw. I also used to chew a lot of ice when I was a teenager. I don't have any explanation, okay. Sorry. Anyway, I believe the tooth was just eventually worn down and cracked.
So, why am I telling you this horribly weird factoid about my oral hygiene?
Because this hole in my tooth simply acts as yet another form of imperfection. It's not even one people can see, but it's something that I know is wrong with me, and my imperfections are keeping me alive because I'm working on fixing them. The way I see it, if I'm going to kill myself, I'm going to do it only once I'm perfect, thanks to being a perfectionist, but because perfection isn't actually attainable, I'll stay alive as long as I can trying to make myself as close to "perfect" as I can be. It keeps me going, because of my absolute need to be as perfect as possible. If I'm going to be a corpse at some point, I'm going to be the most goddamned beautiful corpse there is. Is this a healthy coping method? Of course not, but then again, has any of the shit I've told you here been?
A few nights ago, when I was feeling particularly bad, I got it into my head that I didn't want my hands anymore. That I would actually function better if I no longer had hands. I would never do anything to myself like, oh, cut off my hands, but for some reason that became a thought I became attached to suddenly for an entire night. Why? Who the fuck knows. I just know that the following morning, I felt fine and thought it was ridiculous that I actually clung to that concept. I've read about Body Integrity Identity Disorder before, but this isn't a thing I usually think about, so I definitely don't have that by any means. I just know that for a little bit one evening, I thought I'd be better off without hands. Am I actively now looking for ways to make myself worse so I can find things to fix about myself?
Who knows. All I know is that sometimes my tooth hurts and I hate existing.
For a good while, I kept my teeth from that surgery in a small, plastic cup in a blue liquid that they gave me at the hospital. I probably still have it somewhere. Sometimes, for show and tell, I would bring it in and show it off, because that's the kind of kid I was. Sometimes I'd even pretend they weren't my teeth, and were just somebody else's teeth that I'd found like this, because, again, that's the kind of kid I was. I am obsessed with imperfection, because it's my imperfections that keep me striving to better myself. How about that. The most unhealthy parts of me are forcing me to fix myself and be healthier.
Take from that what you want.
I'm Maggie. If you like this thing I made, you might like some other things I make, like my depressing webcomic "In Space, No One Can Hear You Cry", the satirical online newspaper of "Nowhere, US", my podcast "Coping With Tonal Shifts In Reality", or my writing over at Medium. You can also donate to my PayPal or support my work at Patreon, where you'll get access to patron only content and new content early, all for as cheap as a buck a month! Thanks for reading!

UP to 50 council staff are set to start work at the former Alf Kaufman School building despite neighbours' concerns about extra traffic posing a threat to children.
About 100 local residents signed a petition against the plan, claiming that youngsters face extra dangers when crossing the roads.
The go-ahead was given by Rochdale Township planning sub-committee on Wednesday.
Alf Kaufman School closed last summer in a re-organisation of special education and Whittaker Moss Primary School and Innes School currently share the site.
Part of the building is empty and the education department will use it as offices for schools services staff.
Sixty two extra parking spaces will be created and a 2.4m fence will be built between the extended car park and the school playing field.
At the meeting, a resident of nearby Christopher Acre, said: "Our biggest concern is about children going in and out of school. It is not just during the school run, but also at other times when they play in the area."
"There will be 65 per cent extra traffic using the site, which will no doubt pose a threat to their safety and we are worried they will not be able to play outside."
A Rochdale Council spokesman said: "It does not make sense for us to dispose of a building that was only built in 1982. The council could have used the building for other purposes, like a medical centre, without planning permission."
"The people who would work here would be employed to oversee the standards of education in Rochdale."
After the meeting, Jim Dobbin, MP for Norden and Bamford, who had also objected, said: "It would make sense for the council to consider putting in a 20mph speed limit around the school and implementing parking orders."

It is time to learn some basic website promotion skills. After you have done your research and development, it is time to let the world know about your content. Here is how to start:
- Tell your friends about it
- Participate in related Forums
- Use social bookmarking sites like StumbleUpon, Digg, Reddit
- Comment on related Blogs
- Exchange links with other related Websites
- Submit your site to Web Directories
If you have lot of friends online, it would be a good idea to notify them about your new site. Specially if some of them would be willing to contribute or help. This will help add more content to the site and you will have more time to concentrate on marketing and conversion.
If you do not have many friends who can spread the word, you can use other, so called 'social' tools, on the Internet. Online forums are one of the oldest forms of Internet communication. You can find forums about your niche, sign in and participate in discussion. Many forums will allow you to have a signature where you can link to your site. Better forums will allow you to put a rss feed from your blog to your profile, so every time you post n the forum your latest article will be promoted.
Social bookmarking sites became very popular in recent years. They will provide you with instant promotion and, if you have really interesting content, with instant traffic. Since this is only an introductory article I will not go in depth with using with using these services, but I will only recommend one site called SocialMarker.com. Basically it will allow you to submit your site to a number of social bookmarking services in a very accessible way.
Commenting on related blogs is a way to make a network of friends. You should find blogs that are related to your topic, judge that the author is very passionate about it and then read as much of their's content as possible. That will give you an idea about how the author is thinking about your mutual topic. This will allow you to get in the discussion with them which will become an opportunity to point out your own site with related content. Just always be sure to be polite and not intrusive. Think what kind of comments would you like to have on your blog and write appropriately.
Exchanging links with other related sites is like planting seeds for the future. When you find a site or a blog related to yours, you might want to ask the owner to exchange links. Making sure that you have good content first is crucial. Also choose only sites that you are comfortable linking to, as that will reflect on your future ranking. Try to use sites that are similarly ranked as yours. If you are just starting best bet is to search for other new sites. When I said planting seeds, it can happen that the site you exchanged links with becomes very popular in the future and you get a share of that popularity.
Submitting your site to web directories is usually a dull process. Web directories made a lot of sense in 1990s when search engines where non existent and in order to find something you went to a web directory and browsed through an interesting category. Nowadays web directories become more and more obsolete and their value is in it that you get a free link to your site. number of visitors that are coming from these directories is usually very minimal.
Using link to your website in forums and social bookmarking sites is the fastest way to have your site indexed by a search engine. You should never submit your site to search engine, always use this natural way. It is not uncommon to have your site index in a mater of hours using methods described in this article.
If you want to learn little bit more about these techniques check this article. If you think you are ready for some more advanced techniques then proceed to this article.

What's New in Church Leadership?
Local church life is changing dramatically. Once familiar and established patterns of leadership are giving way to new and emerging forms of ordained and lay ministries; clergy now often work in teams with responsibility for large groups of churches, and many congregations are exploring entirely new ways of serving their local communities through initiatives like Fresh Expressions. Membership of traditional denominations may be falling, secular culture may be hostile to the church, yet there is genuine spiritual hunger that cries out for satisfaction. Challenges and opportunities on such a scale require fresh and innovative thinking about what new styles of leadership are needed in the vastly changed landscape in which churches now find themselves.
This is a book for all involved in church leadership at the local or structural level. It draws on leadership theory and practice from a wide range of disciplines to offer some creative techniques and solutions, especially in relation to nurturing vocation and skills, enhancing team ministry and collaborative working, making leadership at the strategic level effective, sustaining new models of church, growing through change and resistance to change.

More than fighting evil vampires at La Luna Sangre as Tristan and Malia, Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla fight cyberbullies in real life. Kicking off their anti-cyberbullying campaign as Cybersmile Ambassadors, KathNiel together with Philippine Red Cross (PRC), the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) and Kathniel's fan base KDKN Solidarity Community, Inc. along with volunteer-individual and other fan group supporters conducted a simultaneous event dubbed as"Give Blood. Fight Cyberbullying" last Nov. 5 at the PRC Headquarters and across 18 (initially targeted 22) other PRC blood centers nationwide.
The event was held to gather as many blood donors, promote La Luna Sangre in Halloween season and fashion as blood donors were encouraged to wear costumes of their favorite La Luna Sangre characters, and formally launch the anti-cyberbullying campaign of KathNiel.
According to PRC Director for National Blood Services Dr. CristieMoninaNalupta, the simultaneous event garnered 50,000 cc of blood which could possibly help and save lives of 360 patients. The event also made noise at social media as #ImACybersmiler and #LLSBloodletting were its digital battle cry in its awareness campaign.
It included a Q & A portion with KathNiel and DICT Assistant Secretary Allan Cabanlong sharing from their personal experiences and important tips on how to handle bullies online to the status of the bill named as"An Act Defining and Penalizing the Crime of Cyberbullying", otherwise known as theAnti-Cyberbullying Act of 2015.
Asked as to what her worst experience was with cyberbullying Kathryn said, "Dumatingakosa point nanagkulongakosakwarto at hindiakokumakausap ng tao at sobrangna-depress ako…Sana mas maging aware ang mgataonaseryoso ang bagaynaito." Knowing that anyone in social media could have the same terrible experience as hers, is her principal motivation to engage in this advocacy. "Na-experience naming kung paanoitokasakit at ayawna naming lumala pa ito at ma-experience pa ng maramingtao, lalona ng mgakabataan."
A thrust on accountability and consequences is a must. According to Daniel, their advocacy along with DICT is to come up with a "sapatnapangil" against the cyberbullies. "Hindi silapwedengnanggaganonlang ng taonahindinilakilala. Hindi pwedengnang-aapilangsila ng tao out of nowhere," he said.
On their vision of supporting the cyberbullying campaign, Kathryn said of the internet "For communication and good vibes. Wag gamitin ang internet para maniralang ng ibangtao." Daniel adds, "Negative attracts negative. Positive attracts success…Never ka magiging successful sabuhay kung sobrakangnegatibongtao at walakangginawa kung hindimanira." He calls on his fellow artists, musicians and everyone in showbiz to join him and Kathryn in fighting cyberbullying as this is a serious problem that should be given due attention.
Best advice from Kathryn? Family and friends can help a lot in values formation and can help you deal with the negative feelings you get from cyberbullies. But as for dealing with cyberbullies themselves, she said "intindihin din at ikaw ang maging mas malakingtaosakanila."
As for Daniel, we need to also understand what kind of person the cyberbully we're dealing with. He said, "di namanpwedenalahat ng basherssa cyberspace ay sagutinmo, dahilyungibahindinaman legit or fake accounts lang at meron ding ibadapatintindihin at bakameronsiyangproblema". But at the end of the day he says, "Mas magingmabutinalangtayongtao."
The Cybersmile Foundation is a multi-awarded international non-profit organization committed to the fight against cyberbullying.
Some of the other 19 blood centers include: Batangas, Calamba, Tarlac, Cavite, Pampanga, Olongapo, Baguio, Cebu, Iloilo, Bacolod, Aklan, Dumaguete, Davao, Cagayan De Oro, Butuan, General Santos, Misamis Occidental, and Zamboanga City.

Ashington kicked off the new season at Washington on Saturday without teenage striker Dylan Armstrong.
The North Shields-born front man flew out to the US last week to start a four-year football scholarship and admitted it had been the hardest decision of his life.
However the 18-year-old, who joined the Colliers from Hartlepool United, had no hesitation in declaring that he will rejoin the Woodhorn Lane outfit on his return.
"I was looking forward to the beginning of the new season after enjoying the end of the last term," he said.
"I was devastated when I was released by Hartlepool where I was a youth team scholar.
"It was always a dream to become a professional footballer, but after being released, the reality kicked in.
"However with people watching you, there is always a chance."
"An opportunity arose for me to go to America and as much as I had lapped up pre-season, I thought the best option for me in terms of 'life' was to go over there and get a degree and to graduate.
"It was one of the hardest decisions I have had to make because everything at Ashington has been top class."
Armstrong jetted out of Heathrow airport to Austin, Texas.
He added: "Pre-season starts on the 14th with the campaign proper kicking off a week later.
"I will be playing for St Edwards, the university team, and they face all the colleges over America so I will see a lot of good places as there is a lot of travelling.
"However, when I return it will be a no brainer in terms of coming back to Ashington.
"I would have no hesitation in signing on again as I have loved every minute of it."

Regan Stokes
Pecha Kucha events involve short, power point presentations by speakers with all kinds of stories to share. You don't need to be famous, just interesting and succinct.
Christchurch teacher Regan Stokes was a recent Pecha Kucha speaker who caught our eye, and he delivers a modified version of his talk, about his relationship with te reo.
