The 'Modern Love' tour, held at the African Caribbean Centre, Maidstone Road, presented spoken word artists offering their perspective on love in the 21st century. Artists Malika Booker and Charlie Dark were joined by Roger Robinson and DJ A-Clyde for a spectacular evening of cutting edge spoken word and music.
'Modern Love' was recently nominated for Best Theatre/Play at the 2002 EMMAs (Ethnic Multicultural Media Awards). The play is devised and presented by literature promotion agency – Renaissance One.
Local teenagers also attended special workshops, held by the touring artists, to write their own response to 'what is modern love?' The best work from the sessions were performed live on stage as a certain raiser to the main show, giving young people in Leicester the chance to share the stage with internationally acclaimed artists.
The 'Everybody's Reading' festival celebrates books and literature, and aims to get people reading with over 50 events throughout the city.
A book -- 'Modern Love' -- featuring prose, poetry and commentary on modern love, is also available.

Ordinarily so meticulous that she checks everything right down to her golden carriage, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands was blindsided this week by a scandal involving her family and an organized crime figure.
Surprisingly, the queen's tour guide into the underworld turned out to be her son's fiancée, Mabel Wisse Smit, an ambitious young woman whose ties to one of the country's biggest mobsters were more extensive than she first admitted.
The queen's middle child, Prince Johan Friso, 35, admitted on Friday that he and Ms. Smit had been less than forthcoming about her contacts with Klaas Bruinsma, a gangster and drug baron who had been executed, gangland style, in 1991.
Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende, visibly perturbed, went on national television to announce that his cabinet would not submit the couple's marriage to Parliament for its approval, a prerequisite for succession to the throne.
Prince Johan said he would marry Ms. Smit next April anyway, and as a result he will lose his right to become king. He had been second in the line of succession, after his older brother, Crown Prince Willem Alexander.Continue reading the main story
Prince Johan and his fiancée had given the government, including the queen, ''incomplete and inaccurate'' information regarding Ms. Smit's past, Mr. Balkenende said, and ''there had been a breach in trust.''
''The reputation of the royal family has been damaged,'' said Maartje van Weegen, the Dutch doyenne of royal correspondents, in an interview. ''The myth of the monarchy -- the fairy tale, if you will -- has collapsed.''
Mabelgate, as some here are calling it, has afforded the Dutch a glimpse into the goings-on behind palace gates and prison walls, as they follow the tale of how a potential princess crossed paths with a thug in the late 1980's.
Besides costing Prince Johan his chance to take the throne, Mabelgate has further rocked a royal family still recovering from a series of missteps and scandals. Last year, the crown prince married the daughter of a civilian minister in the former Argentine military dictatorship.
Ms. Smit, 35, made no secret of a passing acquaintance with Mr. Bruinsma, but she had contended that her contact with the handsome criminal was ''superficial.''
Before he was gunned down near an Amsterdam hotel, Mr. Bruinsma was a narcotics handler who ran a European drug ring and routinely hired killers to eliminate his adversaries, investigators said.
Ms. Smit was a university student back in 1989 when she met Mr. Bruinsma in sailing circles. She says she stayed clear of him once she discovered he was a gangster. She denies having had an affair with him.
That was before the heavyset hit man spoke. Dutch television tracked down one of Mr. Bruinsma's large bodyguards, Charlie da Silva, at a ranch in Chile. ''She was his girlfriend,'' Mr. da Silva said of Ms. Smit and his former employer.
After that interview, Ms. Smit continued to deny that she had had a relationship with the former gangster, but she did say she had slept over on one of his boats a couple of times. That disclosure led to calls for a governmental investigation.
Ms. Smit is a respected member in European diplomatic and charity circles who has dedicated herself to human rights and the spread of democracy. She has reportedly met with numerous American officials.
But her lack of candor is raising uncomfortable questions here, like why Dutch intelligence services did not do a better job of clearing her.Continue reading the main story

text: Staples Center, Los Angeles - Antonio DeMarco (26-2-1, 19KOs) came from behind to stop former two division champion Jorge Linares (31-2, 20KOs) in the eleventh round to capture the vacant WBC lightweight title. After falling behind on the cards, DeMarco rallied in the eleventh and beat Linares into a bloody mess with both hands. Linares' entire face was a mask of blood with DeMarco unloading his combinations, as the referee jumped in to stop the action.

This vicious creature, with more teeth than a bandsaw, would never survive in the galactic gene pool. Its eggs sit around on worthless planets, hoping a passing spaceship will land and investigate. The eggs explode in any intruder's face, implanting an alien embryo. After a hasty gestation, the creature arranges its own caesarean delivery, bursting from the host's chest. This is similar to the repulsive reproductive cycle of the ichneumon wasp. Imagine if making human babies required a biologically compatible visitor from another world. It's far more efficient to find a partner for reproduction at the pub. Alien's scheme is going to have a very low yield.
Americans like anthropomorphic aliens; the British prefer Daleks, who resemble oversized salt shakers with smallpox. These aggressive creatures, the mutated remnants of a nuclear war on their home planet, roll around in tank-like epidermises. But if they're advanced enough to manage interstellar contact, why can't they do some genetic engineering and unburden themselves of those debilitating mutations? Their metal mantles seem unsuited to locomotion on anything rougher than a studio floor. Imagine Daleks at the beach. Fitting an extra motor and a dust bag would at least make it useful for vacuuming the living room.
ET and his buddies journey here to augment their collection of plants, a field trip that sounds plausible until you note they come from the Andromeda galaxy - a tedious 2m light years away. Are the hundred billion planets of their own galaxy cursed with uninteresting flora? Unintentionally abandoned, ET chills out with some latchkey kids from suburbia, appropriate given that he is a kid himself: big eyes, short nose, and a small, cuddly body. Improbably, his biochemistry is so similar to ours, he gets drunk on supermarket beer. This isn't an alien - it's every child's dream of the perfect pet.
Roswell aliens
Some folks think that in 1947 alien rocket jockeys made a last-minute navigation error and crashed in the desert. The putative victims are generally portrayed as humanoid, if somewhat shorter than us, and with bigger heads - like children. While not impossible, this is unlikely. The fact that we have two eyes is good engineering, but having four appendages is an evolutionary accident. Most Earthlings have six (they're called insects). The Roswell aliens resemble us because we relate better to anthropomorphic creatures. Real aliens won't be so similar. They probably won't crash, either.
The Man from Mars by Frank R Paul (1939)
This Red Planet resident and comic book cover art, a cross between a 7ft-high bat and Pinocchio, was a valiant attempt to design a realistic alien. Mars gravity is only 38% of Earth's, ergo this Martian's imposing stature. Barrel-size lungs suck in the Red Planet's thin air. Sadly, these adaptations are inadequate. The landscape of Mars is dry as dust, cold as Antarctica, desperately short of oxygen, and stung by lethal ultraviolet light. If we ever meet real Martians, we'll need a microscope to see them, and a drilling rig to find them. The Red Planet's surface is surely as sterile as a mule.
These pesky aliens from Star Trek do only one thing: make more Tribbles. How this happens is discreetly obscure, as are all anatomical features of these furry lumps. But modesty aside, reproduction - whatever the dirty, nasty mechanics - eventually relies on food to bulk up the offspring. What is it that Tribbles eat? Air? Without legs, and too large to float, the Tribbles seemed destined to stay in one place and mound up. Given their fleecy physique, it's possible that such creatures are bred by enterprising extraterrestrials for the garment trade.

Most kids have attempted to use pots and pans as instruments - I know I have! Now, a drummer needs a guitar player too!
Here's a way to create a fun little guitar for your little ones - and get the bank rockin'!
Paint the kleenex box and paper towel roll brown (or whatever color you want your guitar). You can also add more decorations if you want a really flashy guitar. Set these aside to dry.
Once dry cut a hole in the side of the kleenex box to fit the paper towel roll. Glue the paper towel roll into place. Again, set aside until it is dry.
Push three thumb tacks into the top of the paper towel roll. Repeat this at the bottom of the kleenex box. Make sure each of the three line up vertically on the box and roll.
Wrap an elastic to each set of thumb tacks - from the paper towel roll to the kleenex box.
Attach a string to the guitar handle and the bottom corner of the kleenex box and you have a strap to be able to wear your guitar!
Another easy kids craft made out of an empty toilet paper roll. Put these little guys outside to attract some real birds.
Wrap and glue brown construction paper around the toilet paper roll.
Cut out two feet from the orange construction paper. Glue these to the bottom of the toilet paper roll.
Cut a triangle out of the orange construction paper for the beak. Glue this in the center, closer to the top of the roll.
Glue the googly eyes just above the beak.
Add a feather to each side for its wings, and a smaller feather on the back for its tail feather.
Add a cute little hat or bow to make it a boy or a girl.
An easy kids craft where they can have fun with their hands and paint. Time to get creative - and a little dirty!
Paint a flower stem on your white paper.
Cover your hand in paint and create a print on the white paper. Each hand print will be a petal of your flower, so create about 5-6 hand prints in a circle - finger side facing out.
Cut out a circle from the yellow paper. Glue this in the center of your hand prints to complete the flower.
Instead of just plain paint, get some sparkly paint and make your flowers shimmer!
Does your kids love animals, and can't get enough of "Old McDonald"??? Check out our Farm Crafts for Kids for some fun ways to bring that song to life!
Rainy days have nothing on you any more! With these crafts in your ammo, your kids are sure not to get bored on a rainy day.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Formula SimRacing' started by Mikko Puumalainen, Jun 6, 2010.
Feel free to discuss the race in this thread, as long as it is within the forum rules .
Pfff both of my Roaldo cars taken out, we were doing so well! Closed the Broadcast, what a dissapointing moment just now, and what a bad manouver there in front of Fredrik.
I'm extremely dissappointed right now. We were running great, would have had 4th place secured if it weren't for some drivers who can't realize when they are beaten.
I like tough racing, but there are limits which people with this much experience must know about.
This time we were really fast enough to get a great result by our own efforts, and it goes to the wastebin.
Consistent race after a bad qualifying (again). Was challenging Euler for eight when brakes failed with two laps to go, apparently that can happen as well... Hopefully Valencia is less consuming in that aspect or there will be some serious issues not only for me. Anyway 1 point and something to bring back from a difficult race.
Use more downforce.
LOL! and your saying that to -the setup guru- of Precision Motorsports?
And what's your contribution in this post ?
Qualifying -
Was Realy realy happy with p5 on grid.. could have had 3rd if i had hooked up the final sector but 5th is a massive improvment and shows the kind of progress ash racing are making !
Race -
Once again i had little top speed which resulted in me loosing places to cars that were ultimatly slower than my pace.
decided to try a 2 stop when i hit the infamous wall of champions early in firs stint.. think i pitted on lap 22 i then aimed to get to lap 50 and stop again..
had some great battles with people mid race realy good to fight with them but it was always speed that ruined it !
de wit and me made contact mid race too but de wit has apologised and therefore we will not be protesting.. thanks to him for being honest and for a great battle late on in race !
happy to score points again but if i had rn less wing i could and should have been p4..
well done to hannel on his first fsr win and well done to greco for his twister efforts !
Thankyou to all Ash Racing for there efforts this last week or so.. realy good team we have going now !
From GPCOS:
Congrats to Ronny and PMo.
From GPCOS:
Good win by Precision, congrats!
Did drivers experience lag by the way? And can FSR admin please install 1 live-view that works, as more just takes bandwidth or whatever it takes, you understand.
Yeah it was a bit bad, specially the start as the drivers were jumping forward and then stopping many times, I don't know how it was later but it was definitely not ok.
Yes, I experienced massive lag on the start, as Bruno said, there were some drivers jumping forward/stopping etc .... I hit Tali because I couldn't see him, loosing my front wing ...
I experienced la in the first laps aswell. Was pretty hard to judge in the first corners, where the cars really were. For my WC races I can say that I did not had such a lag in Spain or in Turkey!
I had no lag... but maybe cuz I had for this race fiber optics connection, 100mbit
No real lag here either but we'll remove one of the two live timings for next round.
Both Ash drivers experience quite a bit of lag. I believe Lee's was the worst.
I had some lag problems as well quite impossible to make any sort of moves on anyone just tried to stay away from any car as they all lagged from my view. I have some 30mb connection and also ping seemed good so I dont think its my connection problem but I cant rule it out.
If this lag problem is connected to fsr server then I hope solutions will be found sooner rather than later and we could do some normal close battles again.
there was some minor lagg but nothing major was fine here

Here's How You Can Increase Traffic to Your Website
Streamlining snippets of data into eye-catching infographics has been around since 30,000 BC, utilized in cave paintings for engaging storylines that are easy to follow.
They have evolved to meet the current needs of a quickly changing online society, ensuring that wandering minds are focused on a certain concept.
With vibrant themes and an interesting layout, you will be able to capture the focus of your clientele so that your information stays centered in the forefront of a quickly changing marketplace.
Sir Ed McCabe once said,
"Creativity is one of the last remaining legal ways of gaining an unfair advantage over the competition."
In this marketplace, that advantage is crucial, and the way to achieve it is with innovative infographics. Utilizing flowing designs to reel in your audience can make the difference for your company. You have to find the shortest and most inventive way to organize your data and make it visually appealing and understanding for your consumer.
What do They Do for Your Business?
Data conception through infographics is an incredibly effective tool for branding as customers remember 80% of what they see and do.
These data pieces work for your brand by:
- Drawing attention to your concept through intriguing graphics and compelling data while utilizing a simple format that does not increase the user's cognitive burden.
- Providing a mutually beneficial visual that markets your business and is highly shareable by affiliates because it has appeal to their market. Today's biggest social media platforms navigate primarily through picture sharing, so choosing this option to market your business will create easy opportunities for your brand to get recognized.
- Offering a variety of ways for your users to understand your data. Some customers will make their decisions based on blog posts and lists while others will gather their information based on your infographic. Offering multiple ways to read your content is a clear advantage in marketing.
By broadening your marketing techniques and thinking more visually, you are increasing your consumer's knowledge of your brand and services.
Choosing Your Infographic
Many businesses need assistance as they utilize this marketing tool and turn to infographic designers to help them. A good infographic designer will help a business choose which is the best direction to take to make sure they entertain, engage, and educate their audience using the wealth of data they have at their fingertips.
When it comes to solid infographics, most business topics will offer enough engaging material to transform previously static text into an informative and impressive viewing experience. There is an endless stream of data that could be converted into visual form: general timelines about your business or a proposed roll out that displays your business in an interesting light.
This list of Infographic ideas can help businesses kick-start their concept. Finding a visual way to explain an important process, make a comparison between your work and a competitor, or offer a collection of ideas, quotes, or statistics can be overwhelming; however, the only limit to your brand is your imagination and the skill of your designer to make that image come true.
Avoiding Terrible Infographics
It is important to nail the right blend of information and visuals to ensure that your infographic will be an effective tool or you will have wasted all of your efforts. Here are some common pitfalls to avoid:
Too Much Text
No matter how amazing your visuals are or how compelling the data is, when you cram too much text into your infographic you will immediately lose your audience. The text should support the visuals and make them more compelling.
Jumbled Narrative
Your infographic should flow smoothly and logically. Just because you are painting your data instead of writing it, that does not remove the need for a structured narrative. It should have a logical beginning, middle, and end.
Generic Appearance
A generic infographic will be completely ignored, even by those who are in your target audience. There is no shortage of intriguing infographics on the Internet, so your consumers' eye will skip over a bland design.
Do not skimp on your design, as it is the most crucial part that will attract consumers. These mistakes can cost you your base, or make you seem out of touch and boring.
Make Your Infographic Work for You
Infographics take time and energy to create, so you should use it more than once to boost your traffic. It is simple to make sure that your infographic continues to work for you long after the original design is completed.
Infographics Can be Recycled into a White Paper or Press Release
Many businesses forget that an infographic can be used anywhere, not just as a relevant static page. A clever business will use the same research and data for a press release, white paper, or investigative piece, utilizing the best pieces of the infographic and re-cycling the data.
Link Credits
If your infographic is engaging and explains a complex theory in an understandable way, you have a high chance of going viral on the Internet. This is not only good for general traffic and shares, but you will get link credits from many blogs and sites across the Internet.
Infographics Have ROI and Measurable Results
Infographics are an amazing form of public relations that offer measurable results through social shares, citations, traffic generating, and backlinks. These trackable results make it easy for SEO departments to accumulate data and create comprehensive ROI reports.
The following list of Infographic ideas will help to jump start the flow of ideas so that you can quickly showcase an important process; make a direct comparison between your services and a competitors, or display ideas and statistics.

Hello my lovelies! :)
How are you today? It's sunny here in Croatia so it must be a good day today :)
The spring has begun, and for all those senior highschool students that means that finals are very close (only 2 and a half months till them omg) and school is over in 2 months. time goes really fast sometimes. Anyway, it's also prom time!
Today I would like to present you some affordable prom dresses!
I guess that you are having a prom night soon, of course, if you are in senior high school like me.
Prom is a special moment in every person's life, especially for most of the girls. All the girls want to look nice at their prom, and some of them will spend days and maybe weeks in searching for the perfect dress, bag, make up, shoes etc.
But hey, let's be honest and say that it can go to crazyness sometimes, so be sure to keep it all simple and fun, because dresses and make up aren't everything! It's more important to study for finals because college is a pretty big deal .
However, when you search for a perfect dress, it can be quite a tiring and long process if you go from one store to another, and maybe even from one town to another, but you just can't find the the right style of dress for yourself. Sounds familiar? :)
Have you ever searched for cheap homecoming dress online?
If you are searching for prom dresses online like me, Ihomecoming is maybe a place for you. There you can choose from feminine and romantic dresses with an innovative design and also from any other style you want,whether it's classic, romantic or vintage style.
You can spend hours and hours there just searching for the right dress. shoes and thinking about the make up and hairdo.
And of course, here are my favourites from their affordable prom dresses section:
What are your favourites? Have you ever bought a prom dress online? What were your thoughts?

Bubbles Paraiso's perfect tan was noticeably aglow at the press conference of the GMA Network afternoon soap Kasalanan Bang Ibigin Ka? at noon today, May 29, held at the 8 Spices Restaurant along Mother Ignacia Street, Quezon City.
The show, all set to premiere on June 4, stars Bubbles as Jenelyn, the scheming ex-girlfriend of Geoff Eigenmann's character, Jake.
Dressed in a bright pink dress that bared her toasted shoulders, the actress-model was eye-catching.
As the event proceeded with the press conference proper, Bubbles was asked what acting skill will she be able to contribute to the new soap.
"Yung madadala ko dito? I think because I've been doing kontrabida roles lately… yung pagiging bitch-essa. There's no other term for it," she replied, half-laughing.
Later, in a brief one-on-one interview with PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal), Bubbles was inquired about how her summer went.
"Saya, actually!" exclaimed the dusky beauty who said she was able to fly to Boracay five times in the company of her friends.
Bubbles likewise mentioned that she was able to stay in different spots in the island including the newly-opened district and the Discovery Shores.
Her most recent visit was due to a GMA Network-sponsored event.
BORACAY AND MAXENE. Prompted by an account that reported a fight between Bubbles and her celebrity friend Maxene Magalona at the Discovery Shores in Boracay, PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) brought up the alleged issue for clarification.
Initially asked how she and Maxene are doing, the model actress said, "Okay naman. Pero I don't see her that much anymore. I think she's busy na rin with her soap."
The eldest of the Magalona brood is in fact working on Unfaithful, an upcoming Kapuso teleserye.
Further questioned if she and the 25-year-old actress got to spend time together over the summer in Boracay, Bubbles replied, "We saw each other. I think we were able to spend time. Mabilis lang. Parang nag-bonding-bonding kami dun, sunset session.
"Basta of all my trips, once ko lang siya nakita. Most of my trips was with my barkada," she added.
Finally directed the question about the reported altercation between her and Maxene, Bubbles stated, "As far as I am concerned, I was there, I was having fun. Walang issue sa aking life in Boracay."
The actress-model also assured, "We're friends. When we see each other we say hi.
"We're civil. Yeah, we're friends, we're friends naman.
"It's just that we don't see each other anymore. Iba na rin friends niya, e."
Does that suggest that they used to be close friends? Bubbles explained, "Because her ex[-boyfriend] is my best friend."
Maxene's breakup with Neil Arce, a professional poker player, was confirmed in news items sometime March this year.
"Because I was the one who introduced them," continued Bubbles.
"The guy is my best friend so, of course, nung naging sila, naging close din kami [ni Maxene].
"But of course, now that they're not together, I will always be with my best friend… dun ako siyempre sa best friend ko."
Ending the interview, Bubbles merely confirmed that yes, the two have called it quits.
PEP has already gotten in touch with Maxene through her mom, Pia Magalona, but she chose not to comment about this issue

…tells you more about where we're going with this website.
When we spent more or less the last decade studying human health and disease and working in the fields of neurology, movement disorders, learning and neural plasticity we got a lot of answers but started asking more and more questions. We are interested in the way technology changes our everyday life and how it could be implemented into the diagnosis, therapy and improvement of people's movement patterns.
To give you an idea about recent developments and potentials of sensor technology in movement disorders but also scientific training and sports medicine we will soon list and comment on recent publications. But first, we will be heading to Berlin tomorrow to attend the Frontiers Health Conference 2016 and learn about the future of healthcare, which obviously involves a lot of talking about technology and innovation.
We will keep you updated!

- Sponsorship Caps for Subclass 457 Visas Eliminated
- March 3, 2014
- Law Firm: Fragomen Del Rey Bernsen Loewy LLP - New York Office
In a reversal of policy, Australia's Department of Immigration and Border Protection has essentially eliminated sponsorship caps for the subclass 457 visa program, effective February 14, 2014. Sponsorship caps were introduced for the subclass 457 visa program in July 2013.
Employers applying to become subclass 457 visa sponsors are still required to state the number of nominations they intend to request during their sponsorship period. The Department will not scrutinize the projections as closely as it had in the past, however. The Department will generally accept employers' projections as a reasonable ceiling on the number of foreign workers a sponsor will require. Previously, the Department would closely review a company's nomination prediction to determine whether it was reasonable based on the company's size, its annual staff turnover, and the number of Australians it employs.
Additionally, a company will not lose its sponsorship status for later nominating more foreign workers than initially projected. In practice, this means that employers are no longer restricted in the number of nominations they can file during their sponsorship period.
The Department has not specified whether existing subclass 457 sponsors will remain subject to the nomination ceilings included in their sponsorship approvals. Fragomen is seeking clarification.
The change does not affect companies approved as Accredited Sponsors, as they were not subject to nomination ceilings.
What This Means for Employers
The elimination of sponsorship caps is a welcome development for businesses, and will give employers greater flexibility to handle unforeseen subclass 457 visa needs. However, employers should still take care to make accurate estimates of the number of subclass 457 visa holders they will require during their sponsorship period.

20 St Dunstan's Hill, MonumentSECTOR
Standing at 66,894 sq ft, our latest project with Office Space in Town is located by Customs House and Old Billingsgate Fish Market. Overlooking The Thames, the building has stunning views of HMS Belfast, Tower Bridge and The Shard. A total refurbishment programme was required to ensure the inside of the building transformed in to something equally as stunning. Take a look at the journey we embarked on with our client which was awarded 5 Star Best Office Interior London at the 2016 UK Property Awards.
As with most projects, our first step was working with our client Office Space in Town to locate the building and assess its suitability as serviced office space. Having demonstrated how the space could work, we then began scoping out works...
Office refurbishment projects come in all shapes and sizes, and we're never shy of taking on a whopper. This project certainly was that. The whole building first needed stripping back to shell and core - in this phase we removed over 300 tonnes of concrete, plant structure and condenser system. We also stripped out the entire existing HVAC, lighting, windows and lifts. Having done this, we had a very empty building and the blank canvas we needed to create something truly special.
On first inspection, we could clearly see the building wasn't using its space efficiently and certainly wasn't making the most of its location.
A great example of this was the roof – which is now the 7th floor. It has incredible views of our great city, but wasn't accessible or usable space as it housed the large condenser system. Our in-house Mechanical & Electrical team looked at how we could reconfigure the services, including removing and relocating this condenser system. We punched a hole from the 6th floor for the new lifts and stairs, and were able to extend the building and create the new 5,664 sq ft cafe roof terrace which is now the jewel in their crown.
Another initiative was to convert the under croft of the main entrance on the ground floor to a grand entrance to the new serviced office. By doing this, we created an extra 1,810 sq ft of floor space which now houses their stunning reception and waiting area.
Finally, to create extra space, we extended the walls back slightly to the boundary over unutilised terrace areas on the upper ground floor, creating an additional 220 sq ft of space which is now let to clients and earning rent.
To celebrate its location, we partnered with Sam Kopsch Studio (SKS) who embraced their inner pirate to create concept designs of a striking nautically inspired serviced office. To add extra glamour, Sunseeker were also consulted to provide interiors influenced by some of the world's finest luxury yachts. By working in partnership with SKS, we ensured the designs worked in harmony with the build, so the office was not only visually striking, but it was practically deliverable, maximised square footage and was efficient.
Before we could apply the design, we needed to conduct extensive CAT A works. Due to the scale of works, we installed a full project team on site for the duration of the project, including our in-house M&E, design and build team so experts were on hand to ensure the project ran smoothly and efficiently.
Key CAT A facts:
Many of our clients including Office Space in Town Monument have retained our services afterwards and we are delighted to be assisting them with planned and preventative building and ongoing support maintenance. Our 24-hour a day maintenance service provides them with complete peace of mind.
The finished office
The final themed design is undoubtedly stunning and is one which will stand these serviced offices out in the London market. The design team at SKS brought something special to this project which is why, on projects such as this, we love the magic that happens when everyone comes together to create exceptional collaborative work. So what is the end result?
We wanted the office interior to flow through the whole space. The nautical theme spans the entire seven floors. Strong sea colours were included in the design and applied to carpets and surfaces. As well as these deep tones, striking wall graphics and knotted ropes were incorporated to create individual spaces and bespoke works of art.
The new 1,810 sq ft reception features a 10m white boat shaped reception desk, suspended propellers and two acrylic wall-mounted, back-lit boat hulls. The design colour palette is a nautical blue and white and light floors in through extensive use of glass and four Barrisol stretched canvass veiling light panels.
Typical of Office Space in Town's generous nature, more space is given to communal areas than is typical with serviced offices. On each floor you will find a fully-fitted, galley-style tea point and hidden-away meeting pods which are ideal for working in private away from your office or perfect for smaller less formal meetings.
For larger meetings, there are 15 nautical inspired rooms that hold from 4 to 100 people. The themed meeting rooms each have a distinct personality and include The Keel, The Hull, Masters Cabin, Saloon Room and The Engine Room. The largest room is The Anchor Room which can hold 100 people meetings or quickly be reconfigured to create five separate meeting spaces.
In total there are 708 workstations which are located over six floors and the office space has been divided to create a wide range of options for clients to select from.
Undoubtedly the pièce de résistance is the new cafe roof terrace on the newly created 7th floor. Clients located at Monument can enjoy a fully operational cafe with generous indoor and outdoor seating. This space is perfect for not only a break from the office, but great for collaboration, quiet working and meetings. Overlooking The Thames, it has views of HMS Belfast, Tower Bridge and The Shard. This space is truly inspirational.
A little extra touch we created for Office Space in Town, is a separate annexe which features five serviced bedrooms. Perfect for those clients who work that little bit too late for the commute home.

The Hindu sat down and repeated his question; but the Santal did not understand and continued to assert that the bullocks were his and were named Rice eater and Jaituk [2] and had formed part of his wife's dowry; the Hindu kept on asking about the roads and at last the Santal got frightened and thought

One thing I have noticed from attending baby showers myself, is the overwhelming amount of baby clothes the new mom receives. I think many people buy the clothes because it's a "safe" baby gift or in many cases because they really don't know what to buy or have the time to find a unique gift. The reality is the new baby is most likely to grow out of all the new clothes the new mom receives before they can even be worn. And it the grand scheme of things, are clothes really going to be the most memorable baby gift the new mom receives?
Other bigger ticket gifts, like strollers, car seats, etc… are typically purchased by immediate family members and are obviously required items for the care of the new baby. Friends and co-workers don't usually purchase these items because of their cost or highly personalized preferences by the mom regarding these items. This leaves a pretty big void in terms of what kind of baby shower gifts to buy.
Based on my experience owning Lil' Baby Cakes, I have put together 3 reasons why a baby shower diaper cake makes a unique gift based on my interaction with my customers over the years.
1. Baby Shower Diaper Cakes are Practical
One thing is for certain, new baby's require lots of diapers! In fact, for about 2 years of so, diapers will be one of the ongoing expenses the new family will have in the care of the baby. While a diaper cake is not going to make a huge dent in the quantity of diapers the new mom needs, it's really a unique way of offering diapers as a gift item to get the mom started. Since many diaper cake designs offer baby care items (lotion, shampoo, etc…) and baby toys, the new mom and baby will surely benefit from this assortment of items.
2. Baby Shower Diaper Cakes are Offered to Match Many Themes and Budgets
I have tried to design my diaper cakes to match the most popular themes available today. I realize that people have many different budgets to work with so I want to offer the best selection of theme based designs all at different price points. Jungle themes, ducks, and contemporary designs continue to be very popular and really offer a can't miss gift for the new mom. I also routinely get requests for custom designs which I really love. These designs, which are typically 5 tier cakes, are the focal point of the baby shower. Many of my customers design their whole baby shower around their custom diaper cake. Whether you are looking for a simple 2 tier design or a "one of a kind" unique custom design, I'm confident we can accommodate you.
3. Makes a Memorable Gift
When I look for gifts to buy my friends or family members, I'm always on the look out for something memorable. After all, we want the recipient of the gift to really love it and remember it because it was unique. My feedback from our customers is that diaper cakes truly are memorable gifts. I get many emails from new moms stating they are not going to use their diaper cake, but instead want to keep it as a decoration in the baby's nursery. Since many of our designs also feature plush animals by Gund, the new baby will have a memorable keepsake they can cherish as they grow older. I'm sure many of use know kids who still have that first teddy and can't let go of it!
We'll I hope these reasons will help you if your unsure about a baby gift to buy for that upcoming shower. As always, if you have any questions, feel free to write. I'd love to hear from you.

An investigation for investors in NYSE:OCN shares over potential wrongdoing at Ocwen Financial Corp was announced and current long-term NYSE:OCN stockholders should contact the Shareholders Foundation at firstname.lastname@example.com
San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/27/2014 -- An investigation on behalf of current long-term investors in shares of Ocwen Financial Corp (NYSE:OCN) concerning potential breaches of fiduciary duties by certain officers and directors was announced.

The investigation by a law firm concerns, among other things, whether certain Ocwen Financial officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties and caused damage to the company and its shareholders.
Ocwen Financial Corporation is a financial services holding company that is engaged in the servicing and origination of mortgage loans. Its executive Chairman of the board is Mr. William Erbey. Ocwen Financial Corp reported that its annual Total Revenue rose from $360.38 million in 2010 to over $2.03 billion in 2013 and that its Net Income increased from $37.98 million in 2010 to $282.13 million in 2013.

In December 2013, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ("CFPB") and authorities in 49 states sued Ocwen Financial Corporation, accusing it of years of "significant and systemic misconduct that occurred at every stage of the mortgage servicing process."
Ocwen Financial Corporation reached an agreement under which it is required to provide $2 billion in loan modification relief to homeowners over three years and $127.3 million to a consumer relief fund.
On February 27, 2014 an article was published that stated that state and federal regulators are concerned that Ocwen Financial Corp is mishandling some of the mortgages it now services, citing examples of shoddy paperwork and faulty technology. In addition, the article said that regulators are also questioning the unusual arrangements between Ocwen Financial Corp and four other publicly traded companies where Mr. Erbey is chairman.
On April 28, 2014, Ocwen Financial Corporation received a letter from the staff of the New York Regional Office of the SEC informing it that staff of the New York Regional Office of the SEC was conducting an investigation relating to Ocwen Financial Corporation and making a request for voluntary production of documents and information relating to the April 22, 2014 surrender of certain options to purchase Ocwen Financial Corporation common stock by Mr. Erbey, including the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan and the related option grant and surrender documents.
Since October 2013 NYSE:OCN shares declined to as low as $31.71 per share on May 7, 2014.
On May 23, 2014, NYSE:OCN shares closed at $33.95 per share.
Those who purchased shares of certain Ocwen Financial Corp have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.

Posted by Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Monday, February 6th, 2012
Sometime this past November, I was looking around on the Mayan Families website, as I have been doing regularly since my trip to Guatemala in January of 2011. They offer so many ways to help: sponsoring a student for school, offering one-time medical help money, or food money for a particular family. The opportunity to help a family in need are all over the place in Guatemala.
Anyway, I decided to sponsor a student. His name is Santos and his photo looked so cute – I just couldn't NOT sponsor him.
When we arrived at Mayan Families in January, we had several things planned to do with them while we were there but I asked if there was any way possible for me to meet Santos and his family. He attends school in the San Antonio Palabo school that is one of the seven Mayan Families schools.
Our hotel was in Panajachel (the upper blue circle) and the Mayan Families main office is there as well. We rode in one of their trucks to all the areas we visited surrounding Panajachel – literally up and down the sides of mountains we went.
Lord knows there was plenty to see everywhere we traveled! I was LOVING all the bright blue sky over head and the lush greenery…. it is truly beautiful.
The day we went to the school that Santos attends – it was just my sister Lena and I and Jenny from Mayan Families. In Guatemala, school starts in January so there was a LOT going on at the Mayan Families offices – getting loaded backpacks together and distributed to something like 2000 students, taking photos of each student for the website, and who knows what else was going on all around us…. there was a lot of people everywhere we turned. Anyway, with that being said, you'll know how extra special it was that even with ALL THAT going on – they still managed to get me to San Antonio Palabo to meet Santos!
The drive from Pana took nearly 35 minutes (including the time we stopped to pick up a load of firewood to deliver to the school since we were going there) on switchback curves up the mountain – passing over roads that had places in the pavement totally washed out from the previous seasons' rains, whew! I tell ya, it was enough to make this old girl a little squirrely sitting there. But our driver, Juan Carlos, knew his way around with no hesitation – he grew up there and drives those roads every day so to him, it was just another day on the job.
We finally rounded a curve and there was San Antonio Palobo, built literally on the side of the mountain.
Believe me, this photo doesn't do justice to the area. It was built on the side of a STEEP mountainside. But goodness gracious, was it BEAUTIFUL!! We stopped at the school first to meet Santos and his teacher – who would go with us on the home visit because his family only spoke Katchiquel, a Mayan dialect – and we would need the teacher to translate from Katchiquel to Spanish. Then Jenny, the gal from Mayan Families, would translate from Spanish to English for us gringos.
As we piled out of the truck, Jenny said, "Grab some wood as you go!"
I piled some wood in my arms and up, up, up we went. Lena and I were huffing and puffing and thinking we should have gotten a lot LESS wood, if we'd had any idea how many steps UP we had to go! (Ok, maybe it was only ME huffing and puffing and I was doing it so loud I thought it was both of us!) Needless to say, we eventually reached the school and stood there looking stupid as the teacher ran up and down about 6 or 8 times carrying massive loads of wood. She seriously put me to shame – the way she did it like it was a piece of cake!
I was finally introduced to Santos – and they explained to him that I was his "Madrina" which means "Sponsor" in Spanish. Of course, being that it was the second day of school and Santos came from a predominantly Katchiquel-speaking family – I'm not totally sure he understood what "madrina" meant at first. He kept looking at me like "who the heck are you and why is everyone staring at me??"
It was such a thrill to meet him – even if he didn't get it at first! He is super cute, huh??
Wait til I tell you what his parents said to me when we went on the home visit! It made my eyes tear up!

3 Dorito Bits to "Madrina"
So sweet. I am so proud of you for all that you do for him. And so glad you are able to go on mission trips like these.
I'm so thankful you were able to meet him! I love how God orchestrated it all! And I love your sweet, generous, giving heart sweet friend! Can't wait to hear the rest of the story!
What a blessing for BOTH of you! Thanks you for sharing this and looking forward to more.

Himalayan Buddhism refers to Buddhist practice spread through out Himalayan range starting from Ladakh to Bhutan. The history of Himalayan Buddhism dates back to the activities of Guru Padmasambhava popularly known as Guru Rinpoche. So, Guru Rinpoche is the root of Himalayan Buddhism per say. Four major schools–Nyingma, Kagyu, Shakya, and Gelug– have been shaping its history with different lineages. After Guru Rinpoche, two other father figures like Atisa Dipankar and Maha Yogi Milareapa are equally venerated in this region. Samye is the first monastery ever built in Tibet with the guidelines of Guru Rinpoche which is under construction with the guidelines of His Holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. Himalayan Buddhism aims to preserve cultural practices in Trans- Himalayan range without having any political prejudice. Continue reading Himalayan Buddhism

Some of the effects of Hydrocephalus are spatial, which means relating to space. This includes poor hand eye coordination and balance issues. But it also makes us directionally challenged. We tend to have a hard time telling where North,South,East and West are. I understand that there are many other people without Hydro with this problem. But it's something that just happens to be a lot more common with us. You also may disagree, and I understand if you. However it's not something that I would consider fact without legit sources.
I have plenty of stories that has to do with me getting lost, including getting lost on my friend's street every single time I attempt to walk to his house after knowing him for 16 years. The one I'm gonna talk about is my first one, and the one that is definitely talked about the most. I may have gotten lost before on a field trip before this if I remember right. But we were indoors and as soon as they realized I was gone they went and found me pretty fast, even if it seemed like a long time to me at the time. This was also the school year I discovered how easily I could lose school supplies and jackets.
It was three days into the school year, and it was my teacher's first year teaching. I don't remember who it was but a classmate asked me if I could walk her home. She didn't know that I had to wait for my mom, and as far as I know she still doesn't know. I'm sure she lived close to the school, probably right behind the school. I lived across the street from the school so I figured that as long as I could find the school again I would be fine. I remember starting to walk the wrong direction at one point because I remember walking past the neighborhood park and then turning back around when I realized going the wrong way. Considering where they ended up finding me, I know that I must have started walking the right way but then I missed my turn. After they realized I had left the campus alone my Principal and one of the teachers went to go find me. They found me walking down a street that goes along the side of school but I had gotten about half a block down the street after missing my turn. I was walking toward a main street. I'm not sure what would have happened at that point,but I know I would have at least attempted to changed direction again.
Back at the school I decided not to tell them why I left. I would rather get myself into even more trouble, then get her in trouble for it too. I told my parents about why I left the campus a few years ago but if anyone that was involved in it is reading this,it's probably the first time they've found out why. The result was not being able to walk home alone for the rest of Elementary school, or at least for most of it. It's something that I usually bring up once in a while, and apparently it's something that my teacher at that year brings up very often. Thanks for reading :)

Storms halt Ravens-Bears game for two hours
Not even the Monsters of the Midway were immune from the wild weather that passed through the Midwest Sunday afternoon, as the Chicago Bears and Baltimore Ravens were forced to suspend their game for approximately two hours while storms blew over Soldier Field.
Play was stopped at approximately 12:30 p.m. local time with 4:51 left in the first quarter. Baltimore's Justin Tucker had just kicked a 52-yard field goal to make the score 10-0 in favor of Baltimore when fans were ordered to seek cover.
Players stayed on the sideline for a few minutes before heading to the locker room as heavy rains and strong winds hit.
There were reports of at least one tornado touching down in Illinois and extensive damage in parts of the state. At Soldier Field, long lines formed in the upper deck as drenched fans tried to make their way toward the tunnel with lightning striking near the stadium.
The rain was so heavy at times, it obscured the view of the Chicago skyline. Fans in suites and reporters in the press box were ordered to move away from glass windows. At one point, a spectator ran across the field and got tackled by about three or four security guards before being escorted away.
Fans were finally allowed to return to their seats when the skies cleared, and they let out a big roar when Bears players started trotting onto the field three minutes later. The game resumed at 2:25 p.m. local time, with Chicago rallying for a 23-20 overtime win.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

I decided to join the nanowrimo this year and assumed that it will keep me too busy to do anything else. Nanowrimo is a wonderful challenge, it means: national novel writing month. The aim is to write a novel within a month. What more can a procrastinating writer like me ask for?
While usually I would start working on a story with a great enthusiasm, I would surely get disturbed and put the writing aside while I am taking care of another things. Well, not now. I have a deadline.
To introduce myself, I am a little bit of a free spirit and a housewife. On top of writing a book I am also 20 weeks pregnant with my first child. To join Nano this year made perfect sense, next year will be very busy. I can leave my dear husband to his own devices and focus on my own project. As long as I remember to feed the cat (it is my cat and he doesn't like cats. So just emptying the tray while I am pregnant is a BIG sacrifice. Just to let you know the tray hardly ever gets used, our cat likes to go out and do what she has to do, but never mind) life is good. But once I have a baby there will be a great responsibility and much less me time.
I had a very slow summer and early autumn because the first month of my pregnancy were all about being tired and sick. I basically became a zombie. Just to do simple daily tasks felt like a great challenge. I did what I had to do and waited to get better. I may write about the journey to my pregnancy sometimes later, it is a story by itself anyway.
But while I was zombiing around I thought that once I will get better my life will be more quiet with the cold dark days so I should do something about my life long ambition to write. And here I am trying to compose one chapter at a day. I am not a bored housewife, I do have other projects and things to do, so it is not always easy but it is fine.
However, just being pregnant is like a full time job and I feel almost guilty for taking myself away from the biggest change in my life (at this time). We are at the stage now when we are telling it to people, it is about time to let everyone know plus it is starting to show so I am bombarded by questions: are you starting with your nursery? do you have a name yet? what is your birth plan? are you doing ante natal classes - pregnancy classes - aqua natal classes? do you have this or that book? do you know about this or that website? My husband and I decided to take it easy and start panicking and refurbishing later when we know there is a new member of our family virtually behind the corner. But all this well meant advice is making us (or at least me) feel like that we are horribly behind. There is so much to do, to plan to prepare, to read! I feel like the most selfish mother in the world because I want to use my last months of freedom to write o novel. Well I planned an intensive yoga course and few hikes but I gladly gave those up for the well being of my future child.
Anyway, here I am going towards 17000 words out of the 50000 task. I hope I will make it. Of course, it will only be a beginning, there will be lost of editing and proof reading and rewriting and I am not even thinking about approaching agents or publishers (YET).
But I hope that this blog will help me to summarize my thoughts on beginnings of writing and beginnings of motherhood. Spending lots of time at my desk (or in bed as I am down with a cold - just week after my flu shot - how lucky) makes me want to join the great world web and find some friends. So I am blogging, and tweeting, and facebooking and enjoying myself.

Finally getting back into posting now with things beginning to calm down. I thought I would start things off with a Today in Florida History. It is taken from The Florida Historical Society. There is also a link to the site in my Links to the Past list.
1565: From the account of Pedro Menendez's expedition to Florida in 1565 by Francisco Lopez de Mendoza Grajales, the chaplain to the expedition. This account is taken from Charles E. Bennett, Laudonniere and Fort Caroline: History and Documents (Gainesville: University of Florida Press, 1964). [We will continue with portions of this account in the coming days and will simply cite it as Laudonniere and Fort Caroline. In today's account, Father Mendoza recounts the beginning of Menendez's expedition against the French at Fort Caroline.–moderator]
"Sunday, September 16, he [Menendez] departed with 500 men with many arquebuses and pikes, each one of the soldiers carrying a twelve pound sack of bread on his shoulders and a bottle of wine for the road. They took two Indian chiefs who were great enemies of the French, so that they might show the way. According to the practice of those Indians and by the signs they made, we understood that it was five leagues to the fort of the enemies, but one the road it appeared to be more than fifteen and a very bad road in the very hot sun. But all have traveled it, according to the letter we received from the General [Menendez] today, the 19th of said month."
1853: House Speaker A. K. Allison proclaimed himself Acting Governor of Florida when the governor, Thomas Brown, and the Senate President, R. J. Floyd, were both out of the state. Allison served until October 3 when James E. Broome was regularly inaugurated as governor.
1863: The U.S.S. San Jacinto, under the command of Lieutenant Commander Ralph Chandler, seized the Confederate blockade-runner, Lizzie Davis, off the west coast of Florida. She had been bound from Havana to Mobile with a cargo that included quantities of lead.
1864: An expedition from the U.S.S. Ariel, with Acting Master Russell in command, captured over 4,000 pounds of cotton in the vicinity of Tampa Bay.
1928: The Belle Glade and Palm Beaches area was devastated by a hurricane. This was the culmination of the Great Lake Okeechobee Hurricane struck Florida as a Category 4 storm, with winds pushing lake waters to a storm surge of more than 15 feet. The area surrounding the lake's south end, occupied primarily by migrant agricultural workers, flooded. The Red Cross's death toll count reached 1,836, but additional bodies and skeletons were discovered after the end of the Red Cross count. In response to this disaster, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built dikes around the lake to prevent a recurrence. Florida author Zora Neale Hurston recorded the impact on this hurricane on migrants in her novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God. (See September 6, Today in Florida History)
1968: The first classes convened at Warner Southern College in Lake Wales. The college was founded by the Southeastern Association of the Church of God.

As a Labour candidate in May's election I'm delighted to see the continued commitment of the current Labour Group to the principles on which we're standing, as detailed in last week's Express (31/3/17 page 18).
On the doorstep, when I discuss these issues the standard response from opponents is: 'How can we afford this?'
Personally, I find it difficult to understand how the East Sussex County Council can afford contracts with companies who are legally obliged to maximise profits for their shareholders over any provision of services, and the idea the restructuring of secondary education will be cost free is laughable. Money can always be found for the pet projects of Government but less so for the provision of basic services for ordinary people.
In the same edition of the Express an earlier column details Maria Caulfield's commitment to the Jo Cox Commission on loneliness amongst older people. There seems to me to be an irony in supporting elderly people through this commission whilst sitting in Parliament supporting a Government which focuses on minimising any expenditure on services.
My question is not 'How can we afford these services?' it is 'How can a civilised society NOT afford to provide decent services for all its citizens?'
Of course the greatest shame is that the decisions of ESCC are made by a cabinet of eight members rather than the 49 we elect to represent us. I would say this skews our Council's policies entirely in the direction of the largest minority of those who bothered to vote.
