Hiya fam!
I wish I had more time to tell you all the crazy things that happened
this week, all the spiritual experiences I have had, etc etc, but I
will have to keep this brief as it is transfers!! Yay!
I will not lie, it was super hard to say bye to Sister Popa. I love
that girl so much, and I am so excited for her. But I am going to miss
her like crazy.
I am staying here in Chorley again, and serving with a sister Flake! I
can tell this is going to be a great transfer, and loads of changes.
Not just for me, but for the whole mission! We shall see...
I will update you more on next week!!
I love you all

It's like deja vu all over again
It literally feels like yesterday that I was thinking, oh wow, it's Dad's Birthday this week.... WHATTT!!??? Why is time going so fast?! haha Happy Birthday Dad :D You are the best!
Thank you so much for all your prayers and support for our goal of the 28th. As it looks for right now, we probably won't have anyone for that day, but I have a strong testimony that the Lord works in mysterious ways. This goal has helped Sister Popa and I to work harder than ever for these past few weeks. We have had such purpose and drive, and it is exactly what we both need right now. Baptism or no, I know that Heavenly Father is blessing us so incredibly much. I fully trust Him, His will, and His timing.
This week has been great though. We had some funny moments, some inspiring moments, and frustrating moments. I love my mission so much because it is always changing. Always exciting. Some things don't really change, but it the chaos among the calm that I am so grateful for.
one funny thing that happened was on Tuesday. we had our district meeting, and so Sis P and i traveled up to blackburn ( a 2.5 hour journey by bus) and as we walk up to the church, there are no lights on... hmmm... maybe they are late? We call the District Leader to find out where everyone is. " oh sisters, so sorry we totally spaced. District meeting is at Chorley today......" DAH!! haha oh wow, so we were able to get someone who came with the Zone Leaders to come pick us up. And it all worked out.
While we were heading to our street display on Saturday, a woman walked out of a shop right next to us. We kinda all were looking at each other, and I thought maybe she was a member (she looked like she could have been one, ya know what I mean), and she definitely recognised us. She goes, " hey! I recognise you two!" before we could even say anything! and then it clicks- we met her like my first week here, we had knocked on her door! She had scheduled an appointment with us, but her baby had gotten sick, and we hadn't been able to reschedule with her. She was so sweek and we chatted with her for a while. She told us to come by her home this week! It was so sweet to run into her, and I know that it wasn't a coincidence :)
We had interviews with President this week, and it was my favourite one so far. I had really prepared before hand with questions in mind, and as I asked them, i was able to get answers and inspired counsel from him and also from the spirit. I know that God truly qualifies those whom he calls. I can see it in President, in myself, and in so many others. He trusts us so much, and allows us to learn and grow through experience. He molds and shapes us. He gives us stewardships and responsibilities so that we can be humbled and refined. Most of all, I know that Heavenly Father and our Saviour Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost each love me, and you perfectly. The know each of us by name, and they want us to be happy. Ether 12:4 says :"Wherefore, whoso believeth in God might with surety hope for a better world, yea, even a place at the right hand of God, which hope cometh of faith, maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works, being led to glorify God." As we feel His love for us, and strive to show our love for Him, we can have that sure anchor in our lives. We can have that Hope and we can be happy. If we believe in God and trust Him, and show that through doing what is right, all will work together for our good. I know He is real. I know He lives. I testify in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
I love you all! by for now :)

Here's my week!
Hiya, yallright?
It is great to hear you all had a fab week! It has been a great one for us here as well. Also, something that Sis Popa and I just found out!! Our new Mission President has been announced on lds.org!!! WHAT!? I am in the same transfer as the Ulrich's, but crazy still!!
Ok, so let me see... lots of miracles have happened this week, and I firmly believe that it is due to our diligence. We have not gotten on a single bus that we haven't spoken to someone on! We have been finding ways to not only be effective, but also efficient with our time. But we are still kinda adjusting to our new schedule. It is basically a lot more flexibility, planning is now in the MORNING!! and Companionship study is only 30 min, sometime during the day that works best for us. It is so nice though, because we have time to really unwind and focus our energy. For those speaking a foreign language, language study is during a different time of day as well, so we are ALL out by 10, but honestly, it hasn't been too much of a change for Sis P and I... still! Crazy huh?
also, it snowed this week.... the day before it did though... I have never been so cold. I was wearing like every layer I owned, plus my vadar boots. yes. And I wonder why people do the missionary dodge ;) hahaha jk
Here's a few stories from this week:
We were waiting for a bus on Monday evening so that we could get in on time, and as we stood there, a woman passed by us. We stopped her and began talking to her, and as we told her that we share messages of hope that are centered on Jesus Christ, she went, "Oh how wonderful! that sounds like a great message!" haha it was amazing! And she accepted a return appointment, and we have her phone number, and it was a miracle! She is lovely, and we are seeing her again tonight.
Another miracle that we saw this week was when we got a text from a member letting us know that they were inviting their less active niece and her non member boyfriend over for tea, and that He had some questions to ask us. It was amazing to see that this family trusted us enough to answer his questions. And they also were so involved in helping him to understand more about what we believe. It felt like the first step for us in really helping the members get on board with the missionary work, especially in ward 2 :)
And last miracle I wanted to share was being invited into a home while we were tracting! This wonderful woman, Diane, answered her door, and as we spoke to her about who we are and what we do, she invited us to come in and tell her more. We were both SO EXCITED!!! As we spoke and taught her, and testified of the Book of Mormon, the spirit was sweet and real. I know that God is allowing these amazing miracles to occur in our lives because we are going forward, full steam ahead, with faith in Christ.
Otherwise though, we are still striving our hardest to reach our 28th of January goal, and I truly believe that it can happen. I trust though, that whatever the Lord's will is, will be. I trust His timing.
Not loads happened this week, it were one of those odd and rare ones where the days are fast, but the weeks lasts for ages. But we are powering through!! YAY!!!
Thanks for all of your wonderful and encouraging notes- hope you know how much I appreciate each one. I love you all so very much!

Back at it
HiyaHere we go! The holiday festivities have come to an end, BACK TO WORK YALL! haha it is so good though, it is so good to have this feeling inside of me that I want the norm. You are so right Dad, I have found my groove. I don't like for it to change too much, and when it does, I enjoy it, but still thrive off of the missionary schedule and being able to earn my pillow each day.
This week has been great for us, we had some great miracles. Goes to show that even amid the trials, we can choose to be happy. Basically in England, we can get a lot of rejection. And this week was no exception. BUT Sister Popa and I have been re awakened to a new sense of all we can accomplish for the rest of this transfer. We had a vision meeting as the North Zones (Chorley, Ashton, Preston, and Liverpool zones) and it was Intensely spiritual. Probably the most powerful meetings I have been in to date. They announced a new daily schedule and pday schedule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I KNOWWWWW!!!!!! it will go worldwide soon, but we are piloting it, by the time Ethan goes, it'll be in full swing! Sorry E, ya won't get what we are all used to, but it is SO GOOD!! aw man, i was sat there thinking, WOW the signs of the times, of the harvest, of the gathering is RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY EYES!!!! Literally, during my short mission so far, there have seen SO MANY CHANGES. Also, we have been "using" the area book app (which includes the planner on it), (i say using because we have all been bouncing between our paper planners and the ipads), and they told us all to throw them away! Wow. That was hard. I won't get my final few planners, but the area book app is sooooo incredible. and they were right, we just had to cut it off. We teach it all the time, but perhaps we are all a bit addicted to our planners... haha No it's the best thing ever, and we are really using the technology that we have been blessed with. So yes. Back to the vision meeting! So they talked about how things were going to really change in the way we approach missionary work. We want to all rise to a new level of consecration, and to really give all that we have to the Lord. (Something that really struck my is that true humility isn't just thinking less of myself, or more of others, it is 100% trusting the Lord. In fact it isn't even about me at all. It is realising that all i have all i desire, all that happens is thanks to Him.) As we do all we do in Christ's name, we are endowed with power and authority. I know that He is waiting for me to ask Him. To allow Him to do His work, and I am simply the instrument. I must allow Him to move me, to work through me. It was such a powerful meeting, and I can't say half the things we discussed, but just know it was great.
Last night was the missionary fireside, only this time it was here in Chorley as opposed to man south, and it was a musical fireside! of "our story goes on"..... It is like this British pageant type thing, about the plan of Salvation. It was brilliant! We all loved it so much!
One of the miracles happened on Saturday. Sister Popa and I set a goal to baptise someone on the 28th of January. (if you also want to pray with us to accomplish that, feel free). We went out with certain things we were going to improve upon to do all within our power to do so. One of these being bus contacting, quite an interesting way of finding, but we do is loads here in la englatera. Yes. SO we went throughout the day, and talked to literally EVERY PERSON. and nothing. then at the very end of the day, we get on the bus to head home. Done for the day. ( Background: President always tell us that we have to stay so diligent all day, that miracles happen between 8:30 and 9pm). We are riding along, and there is the man sat behind Sister Popa. I didn't know if she would turn to talk to him, but I felt that we needed to speak to him. We keep going along, and then finally she does turn around, and immediately he is way interested. He must have recognised us, because he goes, "oh my uncle joined your church a while back, and it really changed his life!" Turns out our new friend, Darren, has had a tough year, and the changes he saw in his uncles life are what he wants and needs in his own right now!!! WOW!!! What a huge answer to prayer! we were just scribbling down his information as we pressed the button to get off! haha it was amazing, and I am so grateful for the tender mercies of the Lord.
I know that He lives. He loves us. Truly He wants what is best for us, and even if we have to go through the Fiery furnace to get there, we always come out better for it. I know that as we strive with all our might to do His will, He can magnify our efforts, and allow miracles to happen in our behalf. He is only a prayer away and He listens to every one we say. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

rip little black bag
oh and my bag broke on Christmas Eve.... SO SAD!! That thing was so great and lasted me ALL YEARRR!! rip little black bag, you have served me well.
Happy 2017!!
Yes, just when you got used to writing /16 is the day 2017 starts, I know haha But WE MADE IT THROUGH 2016!!! What an incredible year it was, hey?? More on that in a bit.
It was SO GOOD TO SKYPE YOU FAM!!!!!!!!!!!! ahhhh haha I was quite worried actually that it would be super weird, or that I wouldn't be able to get back to work well, etc etc, the normal worries, but it was SO fun to talk to you, and it didn't sway me much from my focus! haha aka boxing day= regular proselyting day ;) But yes, thank you Brooke and Christian for letting me see and talk to Fay and Nash, they are SO STINKING CUTE, and I loved it so much, even if I couldn't talk amid all the...emotion! haha ah, and sorry if I was awkward at all, something happens to you as a missionary... (you'll find this out soon Ethan) you can get kinda awkward! But Austin forewarned me, so I am happily accepting it all! Cheers Brotha!
Christmas though on a mission, it was amazing, I absolutely loved getting to go to church and to really remember what this holiday is all about as I partook of the Sacrament. We are eternally blessed that our Saviour was born that day. And what a blessing to be a missionary and to declare His gospel at this time of year! You'd caught me/us after a long week of finding, rather unsuccessfully as well, so sorry if I sounded less than enthusiastic about it. But someone in Sacrament meeting said something that really hit home for me. It seems that Satan tries really hard to discourage us just before something amazing is about to happen (Christmas), to try to knock our faith, but Sister Popa and I did our best to keep our spirits up, and prayed a lot a lot, and this week was incredible!! Yay yay! p.s. sorry I didn't take my camera with me throughout the day on Christmas to the different members homes we went to, but we had a blast at the Hoyles and the Botts! Lots of kids, and south africans, yesss!!
Anyways, yes, this has been an interesting, but really fun week. Boxing day, everything is down... no buses, no shops, nothing! So we had to walk everywhere! Which was fun, we found new places in our area we have never been to before! We also found out that day that we would be having an exchange on Wednesday with the Rossendale Valley sisters, surprise! The exchange was amazing, and we all saw miracles here in Chorley (we all stayed in our area)! One was right after Sister Taumalolo and I started tracting, this lady opened up, and imediately invited us in! (that never happens first of all) and then proceeded to tell us that she wants us to take her and her granddaughter on a tour of the temple! She was so enthusiastic about it all, and we got to explain to her why we have temples, and as we left her eyes got teary as she thanked us so sincerely for doing what we do :)) It was the sweetest thing ever. We saw lots of other miracles throughout the day, but also some trying times as well, our appointments falling through, and roads we'd planned to tract not being tract-able... BUT I have a firm testimony that God blesses those who diligently trust and obey Him. Who go forth with faith. It is real, and we were able to really help their companionship in their time of need. Such an inspired exchange! YES!
We finished the week off with New years eve and new years!! It was actually kind of weird for both Sis P and I... We were like... oh no, 2017 is here?? ALREADY??? haha but I am so excited for this year! I feel such excitement within me. As i pondered on this past year and how I can improve and what will happen, I had an overwhelming feeling that if I just go forth with all I have, relying on the Lord for whatever I lack, this year will be the best yet! I can truly do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Phil 4:13). I know that this is true. I invite you all to set goals, with the Lord, write them down, and then tell someone them who will keep you accountable. Set up a time when they will regularly follow up on those goals (FHE, Thursday nights, whenever). Make an inspiration board! It's time to BECOME all that we want, and God wants us to become. YAY 2017!!
I love you all!! Thank you for being so supportive to me all throughout 2016, and always!
Keep it real!

The Boon Moves to the Four Sixes
Two legendary ranches pair up once again as the King Ranch's top stallion moves north to Guthrie, Texas.
January 2, 2018
From the Four Sixes and King Ranches
The legendary King Ranch of Kingsville, Texas, has announced that its top stallion, The Boon, will be moving to the Four Sixes Ranch at Guthrie, Texas, to stand for the 2018 breeding season. The Boon is by Peptoboonsmal, one of the all-time leading cutting horse sires, and out of Boon San Kitty, the top earning daughter of High Brow Cat. He is a seventh-generation descendant of Old Sorrel, the King Ranch's Foundation stallion and the cornerstone of its breeding program.
The Boon's move to the Four Sixes represents a joint venture by two of the oldest ranches in Texas, and certainly two that have had a tremendous influence on the American Quarter Horse Association. The Four Sixes' owner at the time of AQHA's organizational meeting in 1940 was Anne Burnett Hall – known as Miss Anne – who was well respected among ranchers of the Southwest. She was the granddaughter of Four Sixes Ranch founder S.B. (Burk) Burnett. The evening before the organizational meeting, Miss Anne hosted a dinner in her Fort Worth home for those ranchers who had come to town for the meeting. Among those present at her dinner was Robert J. (Bob) Kleberg, Jr., who was General Manager of King Ranch. The following day, both Miss Anne and Bob Kleberg bought stock in the fledgling association, and began to make plans to get their respective horses registered.
King Ranch has a long history with top horses and has been active in the cutting horse industry for a number of years. The Boon was a very successful cutting horse, earning more than $76,000 in NCHA competition. However, due to an injury he sustained in cutting training as a 3-year-old, he got a late start.
Attending veterinarian Dr. Chris Ray of Bozeman, Montana, said that by all standards, The Boon's injury should have been career ending. He said, "I have seen a ton of hind suspensory injuries, and this one was by far the worst. To this day, I use The Boon's injury as a reference when discussing suspensory injuries."
But The Boon overcame his injury and began showing – and placed -- as a 4-year-old. The following year, in 2013, he finished in the top 15 of the NCHA Super Stakes Classic Open, and in 2014, he was the open reserve champion in both the PCCHA Fall Classic/Challenge and the Chisholm Trail Fall Classic. He was the open reserve co-champion at the 2014 NCHA Classic/Challenge. His sire, Peptoboonsmal, is one of the top 10 all-time leading cutting horse sires whose foals have earned more than $26.5 million. The Boon's dam, Boon San Kitty, earned more than $565,000 and was the first horse to win back-to-back NCHA Open Classic/Challenge championships. Her foals have earned $854,000.
The Boon's first foals were 3-year-olds in 2017.
Joining The Boon in standing at the Four Sixes are two other King Ranch stallions, Kineños Moon and Marsala Red, both of whom are siring top ranch horses. Kineños Moon is by Ritas Sweet Badger out of Lil Badgers Moon, and Marsala Red is by Play Red out of Marsala Dulce. Both of these stallions were born at King Ranch and are descended from Old Sorrel, as are all the horses on the ranch. These two stallions will be available for breeding through shipped semen only.
King Ranch is one of the most historic ranches in the state. It was founded in 1853 by Captain Richard King, a steamboat captain who had come to Texas in 1846 during the Mexican/American War and had piloted steamboats up and down the Rio Grande for the U.S. Army. On a trip from Brownsville, Texas, to Corpus Christi, King spotted a small rise overlooking Santa Gertrudis Creek, on the Coastal Plains near Corpus Christi, and thought to himself that this would be an ideal location for a ranch. He had ridden more than 150 miles from Brownsville, at the mouth of the Rio Grande, across millions of acres of nothing but grass and a few live oak trees, and this was the first fresh water he had found. King soon began buying land in the area, the first parcel of which was the 15,500-acre Rincon de Santa Gertrudis. The next year, 1854, he purchased the larger 53,000-acre Spanish land grant Santa Gertrudis de la Garza. These two land grants became the nucleus of what is known today as King Ranch.
On one of his first trips into Mexico to purchase stock for his ranch, King came upon a village, Cruillas, which was suffering the effects of a drought. King purchased the cattle and invited the people of Cruillas to return with him to his ranch to work. Part of the villagers returned with King, and these people became known as los Kineños, King's people. Their descendants still work the ranch today.
In 1850, King met a young lady by the name of Henrietta Chamberlain, the daughter of a Presbyterian minister who had come to the Rio Grande Valley as a missionary. In 1854, the two were married. In 1881, through a chance encounter, King met a young lawyer from Corpus Christi named Robert Justus Kleberg. King hired Kleberg's law firm on retainer to handle the legal affairs of the ranch, and after Captain King died in 1885, Henrietta charged Kleberg with the responsibility of running the ranch.
The following year, Kleberg married the King's youngest daughter, Alice, and it's from this marriage that the long line of Klebergs that were to form the destiny of the ranch emerged.
Prior to Henrietta's death, Robert Kleberg had suffered a stroke in 1918, and his and Alice's son, Robert (Bob) Justus, Jr., took over management of the ranch.
The ranch's horses as we know them today began with one called the Old Sorrel, who was foaled in 1916 and was purchased by Bob Kleberg from George Clegg of Alice, Texas, while the colt was still on his mother. The chestnut colt was trailed back to the ranch, playing along behind his dam, and there he was referred to by the Kineños as "el alazan," the sorrel, and later as "el alazan viejo," the old sorrel. He never received another name.
Bob Kleberg was quoted as saying Old Sorrel was the best cow horse he had ever ridden. In 1921, Old Sorrel was bred to "50 head of using saddle mares, the best we could get from the ranch, as perfectly conformed as possible." When the first foal crop hit the ground, more than 75 percent of them were chestnut and all were uniform in conformation. His second foal crop was foaled in 1923, and with only two foal crops, it was obvious that Old Sorrel's characteristics were being perpetuated.
From the time Bob Kleberg took over the ranch, there was always a policy of not breeding horses not worth breeding. On King Ranch, if a stallion was not siring cow horses, he was not worth breeding. A horse had to earn its way into the breeding program and the way it did so was by working cattle.
When AQHA started registering horses, it was decided by the board of directors that the No. 1 in the registry would be reserved for the grand champion stallion at the 1941 Fort Worth Stock Show. That turned out to be a King Ranch stallion named Wimpy, who received the AQHA registration number of P-1. Foaled in 1937, he was by Solis out of Panda, and both were by Old Sorrel.
In the late 1970s, the ranch purchased Mr San Peppy, who was by Leo San by Leo and out of a mare called Peppy Belle. Peppy Belle was by Pep Up who was by Macanudo and out of a daughter of Little Richard. Both Macanudo and Little Richard were by Old Sorrel.
Mr San Peppy, at the time, was the youngest horse to be named NCHA world champion and the youngest horse to be named to the NCHA Hall of Fame. He was also the youngest horse to win more than $100,000 in open cutting competition in a single year. Among his get was Peppy San Badger, who was the next stallion the ranch bought.
Better known as Little Peppy, Peppy San Badger won the NCHA Futurity in 1977 and the NCHA Derby in 1978, and he was reserve world champion in 1980. He, too, was inducted into the NCHA Hall of Fame, and, of course, he continued that direct line to Old Sorrel. He is the sire of Peptoboonsmal, which makes him the grandsire of The Boon.
The Four Sixes Ranch also ranks among the most legendary in the state, and a good bit of its legend comes from its horses. The ranch was founded by S.B. (Burk) Burnett, who, in 1868, bought 100 head of cattle bearing the 6666 brand. With title to the cattle, he also received ownership of the brand.
Burk married Ruth Loyd of Fort Worth, and the couple had three children. Only one, Tom, lived to become an adult. Tom worked for his father for a number of years, but in the early 1900s, he went out on his own and established the Triangle Ranches, one at Iowa Park, Texas, and the other at Paducah, just north of the Four Sixes Ranch at Guthrie.
Tom and his wife, Olive, had one daughter, Anne Valiant Burnett, who, in later years became known throughout ranching circles in the Southwest as "Miss Anne." When Burk died in 1922, he willed the bulk of his estate to his granddaughter, Miss Anne, in a trusteeship for her yet unborn child. When Tom died in 1938, he left his estate to his daughter, and Miss Anne then ran both the Four Sixes and the Triangle ranches.
George Humphreys, who had gone to work for the Four Sixes in 1918, became foreman of the ranch in 1932, and immediately set about upgrading the remuda. Earlier, there had been as many as 700 broodmares on the ranch, and at one time the Four Sixes had sold 1,000 stock horses – mares, colts and stallions – to one buyer in Billings, Montana, but when George got through cleaning up the herd, there wasn't much left.
He first bought 20 good broodmares and put on them a stud – Scooter by Midnight – that Tom Burnett had sent over from the Triangles. Scooter did a good job, but he wasn't the horse that George liked to talk about. That honor belonged to a dun stud that George liked from the first time he saw him.
Hollywood Gold was foaled in 1940 on the Triangle Ranch. He was by Gold Rush, a stud that Miss Anne had bought on a trip to California, and out of a mare called Triangle Lady 17. George Humphreys told Miss Anne that he wanted to bring him to the Sixes and raise some cow horses. Soon George was riding Hollywood Gold to work cattle on the Sixes, and when spring came around that next year, the dun stud was turned with a band of mares. Among those mares were some daughters of another stud that Tom Burnett had bought, one called Joe Hancock, which was the progenitor of the Hancock line of horses. Supposedly, Tom Burnett said that Joe Hancock was the finest horse he had ever seen, and he instructed his manager, Lige Reed, to breed him to the biggest, roughest mares they had on the ranch. He wanted horses with a lot of size, strength, bone and power.
In addition to what he did for the ranch's horses, Joe Hancock sired such horses as Red Man, Little Joe The Wrangler, Joe Tom and Roan Hancock, and some of his other descendants became some of the greatest rope horses ever. Two sons of Roan Hancock, Peanuts and Popcorn, carried Everett Shaw and Shoat Webster to multiple world champion steer roping titles and were legendary in rodeo arenas throughout the Southwest.
But there's still another horse that people mention when they talk about the foundation of the Four Sixes horses. Miss Anne bought Grey Badger II in 1949, and immediately put him on some daughters of Joe Hancock and Hollywood Gold. On the Sixes, he raised some good cow horses that the cowboys really enjoyed riding, and his descendants also produced some great horses, including Peppy San Badger, which, of course, ended up on King Ranch.
Miss Anne had only one child, a daughter who she also named Anne, and who today is married to John Marion. When Miss Anne died in 1980, her daughter, Anne Marion, inherited the Triangle ranches from her mother, and the Four Sixes from her great-grandfather, Burk Burnett, through the trusteeship he had set up before he died.
Anne sold the Triangle ranches and concentrated all her efforts on the Four Sixes. Today, its horse program -- managed by the ranch's resident veterinarian, Dr. Glenn Blodgett -- is one of the best in the country. The Sixes stands from 15-20 of the top racing, performance and ranch Quarter Horse stallions found anywhere in the world. This includes such horses as Rockin W, Sixes Pick, Bet Hesa Cat, Bamacat and WR This Cats Smart, but at one time it also included a couple of other horses with King Ranch ties.
Tenino Badger by Peppy San Badger was purchased from King Ranch while he was in cutting training with Buster Welch. Winning close to a hundred thousand dollars, Dr. Blodgett said that he was really an athletic horse, and that he sired the stamina and athleticism they needed on their ranch horses. The other horse was the legendary Dash For Cash, which was owned in a partnership between King Ranch and Phillips Ranch before he was syndicated. Dash For Cash spent his last years at the Four Sixes.
And now The Boon, Kineños Moon and Marsala Red will take their turns in the Sixes' breeding barn.

Kenan Sofuoglu (Kawasaki Puccetti Racing) will sit out of the FIM Supersport World Championship race at Chang International Circuit in Thailand this weekend. Following a further medical examination in Turkey, after the heavy crash during FP3 during the opening round in Australia, doctors discovered that the rider is still suffering damage in the same pelvic area he injured at Magny Cours last year.
The tough Turkish rider decided to attempt to race in the final 2017 round in Qatar – less than a month after a crash in France that would normally require a 12-week recovery time. Kenan heroically raced to a podium finish and collected the FIM Silver championship medal for his and the team's collective efforts.
The earlier than expected return to action last season affected the Turkish rider's overall recovery. After suffering a 250 km/h crash at Phillip Island it has brought about a fragility of his bones in the previously fractured pelvic area. He will therefore require more time to fully recover and completely overcome the ultimate consequences of his Magny Cours accident.
The very difficult decision has been taken that he will not race in Thailand but Azlan Shah will be his replacement on board the Kawasaki Puccetti racing machine during the second round of the 2018 season.
The 33-year-old Malaysian rider was crowned Asia Road Racing Champion in 2013. He was then a Moto2 rider in 2014 and 2015 at Idemitsu Team Asia. Shah also took part to the Suzuka 8-Hour Endurance in 2017 alongside Watanabe and Haslam, where they finished second. He is currently riding in the Supersport 600 Asia Road Racing Championship with Kawasaki.
Kenan Sofuoglu, stated: "After the crash in Australia I started to feel pain in the same place where I got injured in Magny Cours. I thought it would improve but as time went by I kept feeling the pain. I had further examinations and the doctors found out that my hip still has a crack in it. If I crash once again it could get worse, leaving me with consequences in the future. Last year I recovered for less than a month to ride in Qatar when I was meant to sit things out for 12 weeks. Because of that my bones didn't heal perfectly. After the Phillip Island crash I need more time to allow my body to fully recover."
Azlan Shah, stated: "I feel very happy about this opportunity. It feels like a dream come true to be racing with this team and in WorldSSP. I have to thank the team very much for accepting me for this ride and I will try to finish at the top. Thank you Kawasaki family."

|1959 - The CM 60
The CM 60 was developed in 1959 and became the follower of the CM 61. The amplifier circuitry was very similar but the capsules were adapted differently and they changed their nomenclature to the system that remains the same until today:
CM 63 - omni
CM 64 - cardioid
CM 65 - switchable omni/cardioid
CM 66 - three pattern type omni/cardioid/figure-eight
The picture shows (from left to right): the cardioid CM 64, the omni CM 63 and the switchable cardioid/omni CM 65 (rather tricky: one changed the characteristic by twisting the capsule itself on the amplifier's body). Later a close speech cardioid CM 640, a switchable omni/cardioid CM 55S (with a capsule swivel) and a three pattern CM 66 followed.
|In 1969 this microphone got solid state circuitry. You find it on the transistor pages.

Prehistoric Adventures | The Reptile Zoo
Well, everybody, I'm back at Prehistoric Pets and all settled in, so I figured it was high time to write up a little blog about my trip to Holland for the exotic animal show, and stay over in Cleveleys, England for a while afterwards. I had a great time, and met a lot of really great people (and a few… interesting ones as well)!
I flew in to Amsterdam, where I was met by Dean Turner from The Reptile Room- a great exotic animal shop with high quality stock that acts as our official UK and European brokers. These guys are pros, and make it easy for me- they picked me up at the airport with all of our display materials and animals (in custom made climate controlled traveling cages) and took us out to the hotel we stayed at outside of the Houten convention center.
We got the animals settled into the room, and headed out for a night on the town in Amsterdam. Being careful not to turn the wrong corner (haha), we had pizza and watched the Blackpool football (soccer to us Yanks) game at an Irish pub, of all places. One of the guys from the Reptile Room, Louis Charlesworth, got pretty rowdy with his team winning the match- so we had to watch his back a little, but all had a good time.
The next day- we got the traveling displays all set up, and spent the day either delivering preordered animals, or helping people select exactly the right snake for their situation- no matter what the budget, breeding plans, or personal preferences are, we had the snakes on hand with a great selection. We go to many of the shows in Houten, and also in Hamm Germany- and this is a great way for overseas customers to meet up with the breeder directly, ask their questions, and make sure to get the right snake- often at great deals too!
The day was long, and by the end of it, my voice was gone (I have been known to talk!). It was time to head back to England for the boys, and normally, this would be the point where they drop me back off at the airport in Amsterdam and I fly home as well, but not this time! I rode the ferry with them back to England, where I spent the week working with our animals over there (and helping them out with a few of theirs as well).
They put me to work during the slow times, but thanks to a great job of advertising my presence there, there wasn't much down time anyway- we had people traveling across the country, and even visiting from Ireland and Scotland- to come see the awesome display snakes we had brought and finally talk face to face about some of the exciting things going on in the blossoming UK Reticulated Python market.
Lots of longtime customers stopped by, and even more new customers who had been thinking about their first retic came down and finally made the plunge! I met a lot of leaders in the reptile industry while I was there as well, from a variety of different fields, and met my first European Adder too!
I want to say thank you to everyone who traveled so far to come out and say hi to me while I was there, and of course, a big thanks to all of our customers- past and present! I hope it's not too long before I get to visit again- the taste of the Blood Pudding and Haggis (not as bad as it sounds, by the way- I quite enjoyed it) is calling me!

It's that time of year again Prehistoric Pets is coming to the UK to support our official European Distributors The Reptile Room! Our sales mangager Garrett will be travelling across the pond to attend Snake Day at Houten Expo in Amsterdam and then spending a WEEK at The Reptile Room so he will have the opportunity to meet customers in the shop.
Before Garrett is off for his extended stay at The Reptile Room he'll be visiting reptile fans this Sunday, April 1st at Expo Houten in Amsterdam, just a short drive from the Amsterdam International Airport (AMS). Snake Day at Houten is a laid back family freindly show with hundreds of great animal vendors, last time Jay even got a photo with a huge owl and a couple fluffy bunnies. This show is only one day so be sure to stop by so you don't miss out on the fun.
After the close of Snake Day at Expo Houten the team will begin their travel back to the UK where The Reptile Room has been diligentlly preparing with some great new additions to the shop including the VIP Room! Sounds pretty nice right? Well it is. This area houses only the top snakes available in Europe in caging designed through a partnership by Prehistoric Pets founder Jay Brewer and The Reptile Room team. The VIP Room is pretty exclusive, but if you stop by The Reptile Room while Garrett's in town he and Dean will be your VIP tour guides in this exclusive area. The best days to come visit are April 3-7th, but you may want to call ahead at The Reptile Room to make sure of the exact times each day. You can contact The Reptile Room by calling 01253 863 700 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com
If you live in back here in the US we will still be recieving emails and taking orders but you may experience some delay. Thank you so much for your patience, hopefully we'll get some updates from Garrett while he's gone to share with everyone here!

The Overall Winner
Our overall winner is the amazing Boss RC-30!
Looking for the best loop pedals in 2019? Our guide is here to help.
This serves as both an introduction to loop pedals, and a guide from the experts as to which loop pedal is right for you. We have reviewed the best loop pedals on the planet, and have put together a list of the 15 best for all kinds of guitarists. Whether you're looking for a loop pedal for practicing, want to make a YouTube channel and do loop covers of your favourite songs, or even if you're looking for an all-in-one looper for everything from rehearsals to playing live, we have all bases covered.

|Boss RC-30
|Pigtronix Infinity Looper
|TC Electronic Ditto Looper

|TC X4 Dual Track
1. Boss RC-1
We had to start this list off with the classic Boss RC-1 Loop Pedal. If you're here as a fan of earlier loop pedal videos (such as watching the famous Ed Sheeran appearance on Blue Peter that kicked off a lot of the mainstream love for loop pedals), then you may already have an RC-1 at home. A fantastic entry pedal for loop players, the RC-1 is compact, versatile, and priced incredibly fairly for the features that are packed into this stomp box.
The RC-1 provides a solid 12 minutes of recording time, with the option to also call and loop stereo instruments via the pedal too (great for multi-instrumentalists). With a single stomp you can erase, loop, pause, and save each patch that is fed through the pedal.
Here's the thing… We can write about the RC-1 all day. It's easier to keep things simple and say, if you're a beginner or are curious about loop pedals, give the RC-1 a chance. It's incredibly easy to use and the price-point is spot on… It also fits in your pedal board with ease and is built to last… Perfect.
2. Digitech JamMan
Next up on our definitive guide is the JamMan looper from Digitech, a company that is no stranger to the wonderful world of loops. We've linked to two different versions of the JamMan below: one is the Express XT, which is Digitech's smallest loop pedal they've ever made (and great for players looking to cut their teeth on an inexpensive pedal), and the other is the JamMan Solo JMSXT. Let's look at both pedals separately to see which one is better for the type of guitarist you are:
JamMan Express XT
The Express is a great alternative to the Boss Rc-1 as a beginners loop pedal. A true-stereo pedal, the Express comes with 10 minutes of loop time and a record/dub function for unlimited loops within a patch. There is also a large volume control for the levels of the loop, and the compact size makes this great as either a pedal for travellers, or for players who are lacking room in an existing pedalboard.
JamMan Solo JMSXT
For the fans of Digitech looking to get serious about looping, the JMSXT is the next step up from the simpler Express XT. This pedal stores up to 35 minutes of loops, with an additional SDHC port to import CD loops into the pedal! Loops can also be sped up or slowed, without altering the original pitch of the looped patch. Truly an amazing piece of kit for the experimental guitarist.
3. Singular Sound BeatBuddy
Now, this pedal isn't for looping your guitar through, so let's get that right out of the way. So, why have we included it in the definitive guide? Because if you're looking for the ultimate looping setup, then it's worth knowing about the Singular Sound BeatBuddy.
This is a pedal for looping drum beats; 200 pre-loaded beats in fact. Using 10 different kits, the pedal can be used to accompany live musicians as an alternative to a full kit, for a soloist looking to add depth to a performance, or even the casual player in need of easy drum programming for a track or live video.
Either way, when coupled with a quality loop pedal, the loop/drum duo is unstoppable.
4. Boss RC-30
The Boss Rc-30 just had to be the top of our list. This is the epitome of loop pedals, from all aspects including price, build, durability, usability, and features. Boss have become incredibly skilled at not just creating fantastic pedals that guitar players want, but they've also nailed easy to use pedals with minimal learning curve. And, when it comes to loop pedals, this is a top priority for a player of any level.
The first striking feature of the Rc-30 is the huge 3 hours of live recording time. This is fantastic news for guitarists looking for the ideal pedal for a live setup. Also, the dual pedals means that its now easier than ever to stop, overdub, and even apply effects to a live recording. And yeah, you heard that last one right…
The RC-3o comes with 5 built-in effects, from pitch shift and lo-fi to a sweeping-effect and more. There are also core, basic rhythm templates that come as standard to jam along to, and also you can add a mic or any instrument to the pedal to really ramp up your loop game. And, with 99 memory banks in which to store loops, you're never going to be struggling for space.
As we've got other favourite pedals to get through, we're going to have to wind down our praise of the RC-30 at this point for the time being. You can check out the full range of features at the links below, and we also recommend heading to the demos section of this guide to really get a feel for what this pedal can offer!
5. Pigtronix Infinity Looper
Now, this is a very (metaphorically) heavy piece of looping technology, and is certainly not for the beginner or the faint of hearted. But, as die-hard fans of Pigtronix, we just had to include the infinity looper to our list. It's not too user friendly, it isn't wallet friendly, but if you're looking for a pedal to really get stuck into, then the Infinity Looper ticks all the boxes, again and again.
The Looper allows for dual stereo loops with syncing functionality, 9 loop presets, a unique parallel looping mode, USB port to export saved loops, and an amazing reverse playback setting. We're only briefly brushing over the functions and features of this pedal, but believe when we say that there's more than enough to get stuck into. If you want to get down and dirty with a looper (and don't mind fiddling with buttons and settings) then make sure you check out what Pigtronix have to offer!
6. TC Electronic Ditto Looper
If you're really struggling for pedal board space, or are a travelling guitarist and need to travel light, then this next pedal is the perfect solution. The Ditto Looper from TC Electronic measures in at a tiny 48 x 48 x 93 mm (in other words, very small!) and comes with 5 minutes of live looping time. The pedal has both a redo and undo function, with unlimited overdubs to boot.
This pedal has won awards, and has also swayed the opinion of many guitarists and live players that bigger is not always better when it comes to the tech side of playing the guitar. It's also priced very fairly, as you would expect for a pedal of its size.
7. NUX Loop Core
Another mini looper pedal, the NUX Loop Core comes in at number seven on our list, and bridges the gap between the simplicity of the smaller pedals, and the growing complexity as the larger pedals gain size and features. The NUX Loop core has a whopping 6 hours of recording time, up to 99 available patches to be stored and built-in drum loops & patterns with a tap-tempo so you can really get into the groove.
You can also layer the sounds and rhythms from other pedals, and really start to build up a complex sound which begins with a single loop. Don't let all of the buttons fool you either, this pedal is great for new users who just want a small pedal that offers a little bit more.
8. Electro Harmonix Canyon Delay
Get a load of this crisp, clear, and all-round awesome looking looper! From one of our favourite pedal manufacturers comes the Canyon Delay and Looper, a combination pedal that sets the tone for multi-loop pedals from here on out.
The difference between this and the other loopers in the list is the combined delay and loop feature. The Canyon offers maximum loop time of just 62 seconds, however this is combined with 5ms to 3 seconds of a digital tape delay. Other effects include reverse loop, a deep octave shift, and memory man looper for delay and looping combinations.
9. Line 6 JM-4
If you're a fan of presets and having all the hard work done for you, then you're going to love the JM-4 from Line 6. This looper comes with over 200 artist created presets, 150 presets which are based on specific songs for the artists, and 36 programmable presets which come built-in. The 'Endless Jam' feature is where these patches and presets truly come to life, as you can jam along with the loops already inside.
Another point to note is the large amount of effects that come onboard with the pedal. As is typical of Line 6, they love a built-in effect or two. The JM-4 comes with a tremolo, phaser, chorus, delay, echo (tape and sweep) and reverb as standard. What's not to love there!?
10. Mooer MML1 Micro Looper
We absolutely love this pedal. It's compact, it's light, and it's incredibly easy to use. It's also cheap, and for what you get in terms of versatility, you really can't argue with the price there either.
This minuscule pedal comes with a whopping 30 minutes of recording time, with unlimited overdubs as standard. The true bypass means that, once the pedal is idle, it will not interfere with any other pedals or signals running through your amp or coming into your axe.
With just one knob, you simply control the level of the loop, stomp to record, then get shredding. We can't recommend this pedal enough for players curios about looping who don't want to fully commit to a larger pedal.
11. Digitech Trio
There's new generation pedals, then there's the TRIO from Digitech. This pedal picks up on the way you play the guitar, from the tempo of your riffs to the style you are playing. It then calculates a drum and bass loop to fit with your playing style… How next-level is that!!
The pedal learns the songs you play, with instant recall on up to 3 pre-sets as you are playing. There are also 12 genres and song styles to be explored.
The pedal comes with a built-in loop with unlimited overdubs as standard, however the true feature here is the band you can create at the click of a button and the flick of a switch. From sequencers and mapping out tempos, to customising bass lines and the mode of the band loops, there's all sorts that can be done with the TRIO. Check it out at the links below.
12. Electro Harmonix 720
With a whopping 12 minutes (or 720 seconds if you're that way inclined) of stereo loop, the Electro Harmonix 720 is a retro cut, looking like something fresh off the Star Trek Enterprise.
You can control the levels and even the speed of the loop, slowing down without switching the pitch or removing any of the quality of the original stereo loop.
What's unique about this pedal is the reverse setting, and also the incredibly rare 'trails', or loop-fadeout setting which you'll be hard-pressed to find on any other pedals. This is a truly brilliant addition, and great for guitarists looking for the best pedal for YouTube videos and live recordings… We think the 720 is your best choice.
13. Mooer Ocean Machine – Devin Townsend Signature
If you're a fan of delay and reverb, and are looking for a combination of the two along with a looper, then the Ocean Machine from Mooer is easily your best choice. A signature Devon Townsend pedal which contributes to the iconic guitar sound of Strapping Young Lad and also his solo efforts, the Ocean Machine adds depth to any tone.
The delay loops up to 60 seconds, with up to 2 seconds of stereo delay effects and incredible depth on the reverb additions.
Just couple this with a quality overdrive pedal and a pair of EMG humbuckers and you're good to go!
14. Outlaw Effects Lasso
It's no secret that we love compact pedals here. We've covered plenty already, but just had to include this other one.
From Outlaw Effects comes the Lasso, a stomp box with up to 10 minutes of looping time, true bypass output and unlimited overdubs as is standard with these types of pedals.
Another great addition for players looking to experiment with loops or who have limited space, this pedal also makes a great gift as it looks a lot more expensive than it is (and probably should be)!
15. TC Electronic Ditto X4 Dual Track Looper
Dual tracks loopers are just good fun. And, whilst not something we would recommend for beginners, these are great for experimental guitarists and shredders looking to jam rhythm chords, or to double up the octaves on solos to give a live solo a boost.
The X4 looper includes 2 loops to track and play around with, and a unique decay button to control the depth and cutoff of each true bypass signal.
If you're looking for recording quality loops, or are just generally in need of a dual track looper for your own practicing, shredding and soloing purposes, then make sure you check out the X4.

CMS Graduate Nursing Demonstration Project
The Widener University School of Nursing is a funded partner in the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services Graduate Nursing Education Demonstration Project with Penn Medicine. This project is derived from the Patient Protection and Accountability Act of 2010 where the primary goal of the demonstration is to increase the provision of qualified training to advanced practice registered nursing students through innovative clinical models.
The clinical training included in this demonstration provides advanced practice registered nursing students with the clinical skills necessary to provide primary care, preventive care, transitional care, chronic care management, and other services appropriate for Medicare beneficiaries (CMS, 2012). Refer to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Service (CMS) at http://innovation.cms.gov/initiatives/gne/.

I've always felt that you can get a good idea for how talented a band really is by seeing them perform live. Furthermore, when a band plays without amps and effects and computer loops and autotune and all that jazz, you get a really good feel for raw talent and emotion. Theres nothing better than that.
That being said, here are some excellent "tiny desk concert" videos from some of my favorites.

I have great faith in Drip Cult followers. I'm confident that you all have good taste in music and a good idea of what's hot and what's not in the music world these days. For example, I'm sure that you all know about Mumford & sons already. I'm sure that you know they've been around since 2008, based out of London, and are one of the main contributors to the folk revival. You undoubtedly know that their most recent album "Sigh No More" was nominated for multiple Grammy awards. Does that mean they're selling out? No! It means they're making amazing music that is being recognized by an audience larger than just the indie/folk scene. I'm also confident that you are all familiar with the indie rock band Local Natives from Los Angeles. You definitely knew that these guys have been creating unique, catchy music that you can''t help but sing a long to; and, at the same time, growing phenomenal facial hair. Like I said, I'm sure you knew all that already. But just in case you didn't, now you do. Don't be embarrassed, just get with the times.

Must Have albums:
Mumford & Sons - Sigh No More
Local Natives - Gorilla Manor

This is the certified event planner in me speaking out….
1. When you get engaged and ask girls to be your bridesmaids you expect them to buy their own dresses.
2. DO NOT expect them to spend more than $200 – $350 including shoes, jewelry etc. More than that is just ridiculous for a dress they may not ever wear again.
3. Try not to pick a dress that is being discontinued. Not all girls may have the money in time to buy said dress before it's discontinued.
4. If you – for some unfortunate reason – CALL OFF YOUR WEDDING – tell your bridesmaids before they learn of it from your FACEBOOK PAGE.
5. Keep in mind – you owe her for her dress! It's the right thing to do.
That is all.

A Pathway through the Past
Grinding stones and broken pieces of pottery show us that there was once a village of Native Americans here. These clues were discovered by archaeologists digging nearby. There were settlements in Delaware as early as 12,000 years ago. The first European explorers found the Lenni Lenape Indians farming this land. Colonists from Sweden started settling in this area in 1638. Early documents tell us that a Swedish grist mill was located on a small stream somewhere near here. Though the Dutch seized control of the Swedish colony in 1657, and the English took over from the Dutch seven years later, the land itself remained in the hands of the original Swedish families for decades to come.
The granite in the ground all around you became an important industry to this area early in the 19th century. It was used to build breakwaters, roadways, bridges, buildings, and homes. The first big mining operation started not far from here, on the western side of the Philadelphia Pike. A cluster of small buildings around the large, open pit mine came to be known as
Near the Philadephia Pike, you can see a house close to this trail that has stood there since before the American Revolution. Property records tell us that Sarah Brooks built this house on land she inherited from her father in 1759. She lived here until her death in 1784. The original structure, which was built of logs, is now covered with board siding. The addition built with blue stone granite was constructed around 1800.
Along this trail, you will find the foundations of a railroad embankment and bridge. The Bellevue Quarry Company built this railway around 1881 to move stone to the main rail lines serving Philadelphia and Wilmington. By 1899, the tracks of the Darby Line of trolleys crossed the land near here. This line connected Wilmington, Delaware to Darby, Pennsylvania where passengers could board trains to Philadelphia. It was this trolley line that the Cauffiel family rode from Wilmington to reach their summer home on this property.
On the hillside above you stands the red brick Cauffiel House, with nearby wooden farm buildings. Even before the Civil War, wealthy families were buying land in this area for their country homes. In the 1880s, the land around you was part of an estate owned by State Supreme Court Justice Charles B. Lore. He called it "Gevendolen." In 1993, the State of Delaware purchased this land from the Cauffiel family, opening it to the public as part of Bellevue State Park.

Important Lessons Drawn from Chairman Hussain al Nowaise
Hussain al Nowais is serving as the chairman and managing director at Emirates holdings in Abu Dhabi. He is a renowned business strategist and global industrialist who has a lot of experience in different sectors such as the banking sector, construction, real estate and investments among others. This experience in the various sectors in business has made him to be one very experienced and skilled individual and someone to look up to. He has been an inspiration to many and there are many important lessons that people have drawn from him.
For example a CEO, vision is very important for any leader. As a leader you must be able to have full knowledge of the business from the inside out. One thing you must have in mind is where the company is headed and where it ought to be. It is only at this point that you will be able to guide their employees under them and how to handle things. It is vision that dictates the decisions that should be made and the course of action to be taken in every situation. This gives the company and everyone in them a sense of direction.
Another important quality is that one must be accessible and approachable by everyone in the company or business. The open-door system is the approach that has taken over. Everyone can be able to reach out to the leadership without any difficulties and share their hearts in mind concerning certain things troubling them through this system.
Respect is another great quality. Respect is one thing that is two-way in that when you respect someone you're also respected in return. Even though your employees are under you and under your command, it is what is good to respect them. The importance of this is that instead of commanding respect you and respect and peaceful coexistence is created between you and your employees. You also act as a good example that they will emulates when relating among themselves.
Learning from people even as you scale up the ladder is one thing that is also been pointed out. Those people around us always teach us something for instance even those who are below us for example employees. As you scale up the career ladder, it is important that you continue learning from people and not to despise anyone. Make sure that you apply and put into practice whatever you learn so that it may transform you and seems to be knowledge.
Finally, it is good to be honest and true to yourself and others. Be true to others and they will also do the same for.

Grocery shopping can be a mundane experience, a get-in-and-get-out exercise not exactly stirring up passion.
Then there's Whole Foods Market and Market Basket.
Two of the most talked-about supermarkets – at roughly opposite ends of the price spectrum – are poised to enter the Worcester market for the first time. Whole Foods is slated to open Jan. 30 at Shrewsbury's Lakeway Commons, while Market Basket would anchor a proposed shopping center at the former Edgemere Drive-In on Route 20, about three miles away.
Texas-based Whole Foods is known for its prepared foods and for ushering in a organic and local-food movement now common at practically every grocery store chain. With its own unique and troubled history, Market Basket, based in Tewksbury, is famous for its customer service – there are no self-checkout aisles, for example – and prices as low as anywhere.
Both Market Basket and Whole Foods enter a crowded grocery field – a notoriously low-margin business – in the Worcester area. Worcester itself has Stop & Shop, Shaw's, Price Chopper, Price Rite, Aldi and Big Y, while Wegmans is in Northborough, Market 32 is in Sutton, and Trader Joe's – another cult favorite – is in Shrewsbury just down the street from where Whole Foods will open.
Yet, the Worcester market appears ready to handle this increased load in grocers. The population of Shrewsbury swelled 3.4 percent between 2010-2016 while Worcester grew 1.9 percent. Throughout all of Central Massachusetts, the population has increased 3.9 percent.
Whole Foods, which already has 31 Massachusetts locations including Framingham and Sudbury, has long had a reputation extending far beyond its parking lots. To detractors who don't like the chain's traditionally high prices, the company is known derisively as Whole Paycheck. To fans, the company offers better prepared foods and organic and local options than anyone else.
"They're just really good at curating ethical and healthy foods for people," said Julie Irwin, a business professor at the University of Texas, which is based in Whole Foods' hometown.
"They're really strict about what they carry and what they don't. A customer can walk in and know that items have already been screened, so to speak, for things like animal rights," she said.
The business world and shoppers have wondered whether being part of Amazon would change Whole Foods, but so far it appears it hasn't changed substantially except for lower prices on some items. Amazon announced the $14-billion acquisition last August.
"There was this question of what will it be like when you go in [after the Amazon deal], but I don't think it seems any different," Irwin said.
The 50,000-square-foot Shrewsbury Whole Foods will have two unique features: Amazon Lockers, where shoppers can pick up or return packages, and the Borgatti Bar, a second-floor restaurant with snacks, sandwiches and salads, and a bar with 12 beers on tap. The bar is named after Anthony "Spag" Borgatti, the owner of the longtime Spag's store that once stood on the Lakeway Commons site.
Market Basket has long been in cities like Fitchburg and Lowell, and it has opened stores in Athol, Hudson and Oxford. But the Shrewsbury location, which is not finalized, would be the company's first directly in the Worcester area.
Even those who aren't regular Market Basket shoppers may still be familiar with its story, including when a fight for the company made national headlines in 2014.
Athanasios and Efrosine Demoulas, husband-and-wife immigrants from Greece, ran the first store together in Lowell for decades until two of their sons – George and Telemachus, known as Mike – took over.
It was under the brothers the market grew into much of what it is today. But it was George's early death in 1971 ultimately landing the company and the family in years of legal trouble.
The two brothers and their families had decided years before to make each the executor of the other's estate upon that brother's death.
But two decades later, George's sons, Evan and Arthur S. Demoulas, went through documents and were startled to discover the 50-50 split the two brothers and their families had in the company was now about 80-20. Their uncle had taken 80 percent of the company.
That began a long legal battle between the two Arthurs – Arthur S. and Arthur T. Demoulas, now the beloved head of Market Basket – and their families. After more than a decade, a judge found that Mike Demoulas – Arthur T.'s father and a philanthropic leader in the Lowell area – had defrauded his late brother's heirs out of hundreds of millions of dollars they would have made in the meantime. Arthur S.'s side was also given a slight majority of the company, 50.5 percent.
Thanks to a complicated turn of events – Evan's widow decided she would vote for Arthur T.'s side, tipping majority control to him – the company stayed much the same. That changed starting in 2013, when the widow, Rafaela Evans, changed her mind and began voting with her late husband's side after all.
Arthur T. was fired the following year, spurring a summer-long uprising from Market Basket's employees, customers and vendors. Each part said they wouldn't work at, shop at or ship to Market Basket until Arthur T. was back in charge.
In short order, the company was nearly taken under. More than 90 percent of sales disappeared, ultimately forcing Arthur S.'s side to sell to Arthur T. Without the customers, employees and vendors, the company appeared to be worth practically nothing except the stores and warehouses.
A message was sent to the business world: Chasing quarterly growth numbers and maximizing profit only works to a point. If Market Basket had been like any other corporation, it wouldn't have been a company that employees were willing to risk their livelihoods to save.
"This is one of those things that's almost magic," said Francis Hoy, a business professor at Worcester Polytechnic Institute who closely followed the story. "If we could teach this in business courses, we could really see some miracles out there."
Market Basket, which now has around 80 stores in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine, manages to be as competitive on prices as Walmart, Hoy said. Walmart announced a plan this month to pay a $11 minimum wage but has never been known as a desirable place to work.
"Walmart and Market Basket culture, it's two different things," Hoy said.

The Islamic State released a video on Tuesday purporting to show the beheading of a second captured American journalist, Steven Sotloff, and threatening to kill a British hostage, Reuters reported.
In the video, a masked militant is seen standing behind a man kneeling in the desert and dressed in an orange jumpsuit, similar to the one worn by fellow US journalist James Foley before he was beheaded two weeks ago.
The captive identified himself as Sotloff, a 31-year-old freelance journalist from Florida who was kidnapped in Syria in August last year, and said he was "paying the price" for US intervention in Iraq.
The camera pulls back to show the militant standing behind him, holding a knife.
"I'm back, Obama," the militant says in English. "Just as your missiles continue to strike our people, our knife will continue to strike the necks of your people."
The masked figure also issued a threat against a British hostage, a man the group named as David Haines, and warned governments to back off "this evil alliance of America against the Islamic State".
The militant is then shown apparently cutting the throat of the captive, whose head is later displayed, lying on the body.
The executioner appeared to be the same British-accented man who appeared in an Aug. 19 video showing the killing of James Foley, Reuters noted.
A statement released by Sotloff's family through a spokesman indicated the family considered the video to be authentic, the report said.

The other month (quite a few months ago) I did a list of my favourite book covers and it got me thinking about my least favourite. The ones that I really wish I could redesign. Be it because they don't match the content or they're just a bit dull or god forbid they use a photo (a personal pet peeve of mine). So these are the five ugliest books on my shelves. Not as much fun as the other post but it's good to get it off my chest!
HARRY POTTER by JK ROWLING
Perhaps the only thing wrong with the Harry Potter series is these book covers. I keep them because they have all the memories of the first time I read them but I'd love to replace them with the new brightly coloured editions. These are just so childish looking – which I know is the point but I think the primary colours take it too far.
THE COUSINS' WAR and THE TUDOR COURT by PHILIPPA GREGORY
Oh look – photos! Not only do the covers have photos but the spines of these do not quite match which drives me insane. And The King's Curse has just a big picture of Henry VIII which stares down at me from my shelves and creeps me out. The font's pretty but that's about the only redeeming feature.
CATCH 22 by JOSEPH HELLER
It's just a bit bleugh. I'm looking at it now and I just don't really understand. Is it supposed to represent something? Why is the '22' completely off centre? What's with the little silver dots? Was this really the best font they could find? This may be the greatest book ever written and this cover doesn't even start to do it justice.
THE FAULT IN OUR STARS by JOHN GREEN
The only author to make it on to both lists so that's a kind of achievement in it's way. It's not that I have anything against this cover in particular – I like the simple bright block style – but it's just become such a cliche. So it needs a redesign to make it fresh again.
THE TENANT OF WILDFELL HALL by ANNE BRONTE
It's just so dull! What were Penguin thinking?!? Give me my beloved bright green Penguin Popular Classics any day.

It's Tuesday, and it's cocktail time! (?) When is it NOT cocktail time?? It's citrus season, and although I love all citrus, blood oranges hold a special place in my heart.
This vibrant, deeply hued fruit has a very brief season, peaking in January. Whenever they are in season at my supermarket, I am certain to be scooping them all up and incorporating them into as many dishes as possible. And, of course, eating them straight up with a million napkins (they are juicy little suckers!). One of my favorite ways to serve them is in this fun twist on the classic drink, a margarita. I like my classic margaritas STRONG: a 3:1:1 ratio of tequila, triple sec and lime juice. The below recipe reads more as a 2:1 ratio between the tequila and the juices, and I reduced the amount of triple sec, as the blood orange juice is very sweet. Feel free to play with the ratios until you find your desired strength.
Truly, I had an entirely different post planned to share with you, and was going to share these margaritas at a later date. After a particularly long and demanding Monday, I stopped off and ran some errands after work, despite the blowing, drifting, and aggressively falling snow. I didn't finish making dinner until almost 9pm, and yet, when I took my first sip of this drink, the stress just *melted* away. So, I decided I NEEDED to share this recipe with you, STAT. I was so excited, that I snapped a few quick shots of the drink in my dark kitchen while cooking just so that I could share it with you as soon as possible. I struggle with patience. But, please! Try this. It is a delightfully in-season drink that is at once refreshing, thanks to to orange and lime, and festive, thanks to the tequila. Margaritas make Mondays infinitely better.
blood orange margaritas.
6 ounces silver tequila
2 ounces freshly squeezed blood orange juice (I got plenty from one orange)
1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
1 ounce triple sec
Juice the blood orange and lime. Add juice, triple sec and tequila to a cocktail shaker. Add ice. Shake gently about 10 time. Strain and pour into rocks glasses over ice. Serves 2.

Turner Construction - Oakland CALGreen
Oakland, CA
Project Value
$200,000 project
General Contractor
Turner Construction
Year Completed
Founded in 1902, Turner Construction has grown into an international construction services company, recognized for handling large complex projects and fostering innovation.
Their new office, located in the prestigious Frank H. Ogawa Plaza building, merited a special design that incorporated a local story. Accordingly, Douglas Fir - reclaimed from the Oakland Army Base - was repurposed into wall cladding, signage, and flooring throughout the new office. Mission Bell's scope on this project included building a beautiful reception desk, signage for their entry way, wall cladding, a complete break room, and casework for their mail and phone rooms.
