Transfer Window - An analysis
Those of you who wanted an exciting close to the transfer window were not disappointed yesterday even though the late striker arrival was not quite what we expected.
The window has been a busy one for Spurs once again. People forget when over one summer with Christian Gross in charge all we had to show was a left back called Tramazzani so the comings and goings during this window and the last two have shown the intent by the board and the manager that they really do mean business.
The transfer dealings actually started in January when we announced that Tainio was to arrive on a free transfer. I hadn't heard of him myself but his displays in pre-season and in the opening matches show we have a player who is quick, can pass well and, most importantly, is better than what we already have. Our second Bosman transfer was Stalteri, a Canadian international with Champions League experience. He has already shown that he is not afraid of a tackle and can get forward. Whether he will be better in the long run that Stephen Kelly is not yet clear although he has added strength and depth. Tom Huddlestone arrived from Derby and is one very much for the future as is Aaron Lennon, a very quick, talented youngster who adds a lot of pace to the wings. Routledge joined as well who adds pace to the wing. He is better than Simon Davies but needs to improve his final ball.
The final day then became interesting. Kanoute had left a week before so we were all hoping for a striker. First to be signed was Jermaine Jenas from Newcastle. A full England international who is an attacking midfielder he does provide something that maybe our midfield lacked and that is hopefully goals. Lee followed him and is a highly rated left back. Clearly better than Edman he will slot into the team nicely. Speaking of Erik, he left for Rennes in a surprising move as it does leave us a little short in the left back position. Finally Grzegorz Rasiakn was signed in the very final minutes of the window. It was quite a surprise and I have to admit that I know very little about him. Looking at the stats he has shown he can score goals in the Championship and has international experience but he wasn't the massive name we were all hoping for. However I think the move makes sense. Kanoute was let go for a number of reasons. His attitude about Mali and pre-season tours was the thing that ultimately finished him at Spurs but his ability to not show up in more matches than he did was another contributing factor. The chance to make a profit on a player who offered so much but in reality delivered much less was a chance we could not refuse. Jol and Co then looked at options. Kuyt would have been amazing but with Feyanoord asking silly money and Kuyt deciding to show some loyalty to his club it meant that that signing was not going to happen in this window. This left Spurs with a few options. Blow a lot of money on someone they didn't really want or go for a back up option. They clearly assessed what we had. Two world-class strikers in Defoe and Keane and Mido, a big guy that either of the other two could play off. First choice is going to Mido and Defoe so we had to get a tall man in to provide cover. Spurs made their move for Grzegorz Rasiak to provide that cover for Mido. Rasiak will be happy to warm the bench while providing something different to Defoe and Keane. He will be fourth choice striker and will be happy to fill that role. This buy allows us to keep a large wedge set aside for further strengthening in January when we can hopefully get who we actually want without being held to ransom.
So this leave Spurs with cover once again in the forward positions with a much stronger squad overall. Kuyt would have been a great signing and would have meant that Levy and Co deserved an A+ for their dealings. It wasn't to be but the window has still been a success and I think the sensible option of providing cover at a low cost while we wait for who we really want means that Levy and Jol still deserve a B+ score for their dealings.


text: Out of the tools I investigated, I found StatCrunch to be the most interesting. Some of my past classmates had used this program as part of their statistics class and found it to be extremely helpful because it covers a variety of topics within statistical analysis. StatCrunch allows its users to collect data, analyze it, and share the results which is not offered by other tools. One feature that I found convenient was its ability to be used on a mobile device. StatCrunch is just one of the many tools out there, but I feel that it would be fairly easy to use and navigate through.

Benefits of Airbnb Management
Though Airbnb management is something that was not known by most of the people over the past years, it has greatly spread in most of the countries across the world and hence this has therefore increased the people's knowledge about it something that has made it common to most of the people. Airbnb management, however, is something that involves space sharing and sharing of rentals especially in a vacation or any other kind of a recreational activity. Airbnb management can, however, be taken as a form of business that most of the property owners are focusing on in the current world. Airbnb is therefore simply referred to as a rental form of business. Just like any other form of a business, it is important to make sure that your Airbnb property generates enough returns or profits to help in the whole process of lifting up your business.

I wasn't too thrilled like the others when I saw the trailer of this movie. It was funny, but not enough to convince me to go see it. But a friend of mine wanted to watch it and I tagged along. I guess it was a pleasant surprised as I didn't expect to have such a great time in the movies, considering I have just finished work.
Rise of the Guardians is an animated movie by DreamWorks, who also did the Shrek franchise. It stars Chris Pine as Jack Frost, Alec Baldwin as Santa Claus, Hugh Jackman as the Easter Bunny, Isla Fisher as the Tooth Fairy, Jude Law as Pitch, Dakota Goyo as the child, and although no one voiced him, I'd like to include the Sandman in this list. I also consider the movie as a comedy, superhero movie given its premise. Unfortunately, the film isn't bringing in enough numbers in the box-office, which is really tough since it was released along with the finale of the Twilight Saga and the latest Bond film, which broke box-office records. It was probably tough to compete with these two, even though RIse of the Guardians had a completely different market.
It's probably one of the funniest animated, children's movie I've seen. Also, dare I say it, one of the cutest. Especially Sandy who stole the hearts of just about everyone in the cinema, proved by the constant expression of different people of "cute" whenever he appeared. Another one worth noticing for the "cute" aspect of the film was the transformation of the Easter Bunny. However, aside from it being cute, it was also hysterical. The members of the audience were literally laughing uncontrollably throughout the movie. It was amazing how a children's movie was being able to trigger emotions from adults (there was almost no children in the movie house when I went). I;m pretty sure the hilarity of it was one of the main reasons why everyone we were all having time. I've been told it was a funny movie by my officemate but I didn't expect this level of quality of humor. It was a joy to watch.
It was an interesting choice to transform childhood figures to be sort of superheroes with weapons, which I though was really cool. Who knew the Easter bunny was a hardcore boomerang thrower. Or that Santa's efficient in sword fighting. I have to confess through that I didn't know who Jack Frost was. I live in a tropical county; snow is definitely out of the picture. I didn't know the idea behind Jack Frost so it was interesting and new for me to see his character develop. I got to know the concept of him through the process.
The movie had a simple, but decent story line. It was about hope, belief, and goodness. It's about protecting the ideals of children: basically, protecting their childhood. The gang was ready to take on the task even though it was a very tough one. It did sound convincing though. Which reminds me, I never figured out Alec Baldwin was the voice of Santa Claus on;y because he dubbed the character with a sort of Russian voice that didn't sound like him at all. That's great voice acting right there. The others did well too. Hugh Jackman, Jude Law, Isla Fisher and of course, Chris Pine were all amazing at lending their voices for this movie. Truly awesome.
I'm a little disappointed this movie's not performing too well on the box-office, but I hope they recover their losses in DVD. That way, it will also mean that more people had the chance and opportunity to watch this incredible film. It was very witty! That's what I liked most about it.

It was Ren Shan Ren Hai 人山人海 (People Mountain People Sea) as many Singaporeans flocked to Chinatown to await the light up. Waiting with patience, the people lined up the entire New Bridge Road and Eu Tong Sen St from Upper Cross St to Kreta Ayer St.
Save those nearer to the Peoples' Park Complex who could see the ceremony on the screen, the rest had to wait patiently "in the dark". Only invited guests could get to see the main stage where the main event was held. And when the DJ led in the counting from 10, many who were sitting on the kerb (ah, on normal days one would risk being run over by sitting on the kerbside) stood up, cranking their necks to look for action. When it hit zero, the entire streets lit up with Chun 春 floating all above us. Somewhere above the Peoples' Park Complex, the sound of fire crackers came, followed by rain of fine red paper, the remants of the fire crackers. For some reason, a breeze was blowing bringing the snow of red dust onto us. Ah, perhaps, that was indication of good luck to be brought by the Tiger.
While thousands waited patiently for the show, hundreds were enjoying the popular Si Chuan Huo Guo 四川火锅 - fiery steam boat from Szechuan. A new shop selling porridge was seen offering competition to the established one by the corner of Keong Saik Rd and New Bridge Road. Into Smith St, more people walked, attracted by the calls of the stallholders to try out their fair. From the famous Cantonese waxed goods - sausages, waxed ducks, Wong Fa Yi 黄花鱼 (Huang Hua Yu), Yunnan Ham - to melon seeds to golden pumpkins, bottle gourds 葫芦 (hu lu) to Japanese dried mushrooms. There was even a queue at Wurstand for the german sausages served by the Austrian chef, dress in red, but of course.
Outside the Chinatown Complex, oblivious to the din, a few crowds were focussing on the intense game of 'Dum" (draughts). On the other end, a young band was belting out the popular Chinese New Year songs. And further up Spring St, where the huge tentage was set up for the Chinese New Year mart, the crowd was less. The two auctioneers (they sounded like Taiwan or Mainland Chinese) were calling out for bids for the numerous good luck collectibles. Plants are part of Chinese New Year decorations, with many helping to usher in a good year, like the specially arranged Guan Yin Bamboo, aptly called Bu Bu Gao Sheng 步步高生.
At the South Bridge Road end, probably because most of the goldsmith shops used to be here, the decorations has the upsidedown Fu 福 (prosperity) hanging across the road. The Chinese love to think that an upsidedown Fu means that Prosperity has arrived, instead of the other sound. I often wondered if someone had made a mistake and got a saving grace coming up with this story. (^^)
If the crowd tonight continues for the next two weeks, it will spell well for the Chinatown economy and certainly for the economy of Singapore! (^^)

LG G Watch With Always-On Display Expected To Arrive This Quarter
It is pretty evident that this year is going to be dedicated to Wearables as a number of them have already been released globally. Samsung has been soaring pretty high when it comes to smartwatches. And although Sony and Samsung did unveil their first wearable devices last year, this year the former has come up with improved versions of the same.
Coming to catch up with the competition in the wearable market is another South Korean smartphone maker LG. The maker of the world's first commercially available curved smartphone G Flex, LG has now unveiled its upcoming smartwatch called G Watch powered by Google's recently launched Android Wear platform. The company has officially showcased the device in two color variants (stealth black and champagne gold) via its official micro-site. The Stealth Black edition was unveiled few months back.

This is actually LG's fourth device sprouting from its collaboration with Google. The previous 3 were Nexus 4, Nexus 5, and the LG G Pad 8.3 Google Play Edition.
Recommended: Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime With 2K Display Spotted On Indian Site
Although the company chooses not to reveal the specs of the device at the moment, it has at least been said that the G Watch will be water and dust resistant, and it will always remains on - a screen that never sleeps, which makes a lot of sense. Moreover, like Pebble, LG G Watch will be compatible with a wide range of Android smartphones and since there is "always on display", whenever the user says "OK Google" the service will be present at your fingertips.
As said earlier, the company has not revealed any specs of the device but rumors have it that the G Watch would come with 1.65-inch IPS LCD (280x280p), 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage. Moreover, the new image also reveals a magnetic charging port on the back of the watch. If you remember, last month LG also revealed that the device will feature changeable straps. However, also details on the accessories are not out yet.
The pricing of the G Watch is not disclosed at the moment and The Korean giant is reportedly said to be planning to introduce its first Android Wear powered smartwatch in the second quarter of 2014. TO be precise, we are looking forward to June.
But LG is not the only user of Android Wear platform, devices from Asus, HTC and Samsung are also in the line to be unveiled later this year.

Electrokinetics for Petroleum and Environmental Engineers
Electrokinetics for Petroleum and Environmental Engineers
ISBN: 978-1-118-84283-6 October 2014 264 Pages
Electrokinetics is a term applied to a group of physicochemical phenomena involving the transport of charges, action of charged particles, effects of applied electric potential and fluid transport in various porous media to allow for a desired migration or flow to be achieved. These phenomena include electrokinetics, electroosmosis, ion migration, electrophoresis, streaming potential and electroviscosity. These phenomena are closely related and all contribute to the transport and migration of different ionic species and chemicals in porous media. The physicochemical and electrochemical properties of a porous medium and the pore fluid, and the magnitudes of the applied electrical potential all impact the direction and velocity of the fluid flow. Also, an electrical potential is generated upon the forced passage of fluid carrying charged particles through a porous medium.
The use of electrokinetics in the field of petroleum and environmental engineering was groundbreaking when George Chilingar pioneered its use decades ago, but it has only been in recent years that its full potential has been studied. This is the first volume of its kind ever written, offering the petroleum or environmental engineer a practical "how to" book on using electrokinetics for more efficient and better oil recovery and recovery from difficult reservoirs.This groundbreaking volume is a must-have for any petroleum engineer working in the field, and for students and faculty in petroleum engineering departments worldwide.

Assam tea is black tea grown and produced in Assam, India. Because of the unique slope and weather in Assam, teas grown in Assam region has a special aroma which make it a world class tea products.
Assam is an Indian state located at the north of India. Not as hot like other places in India, Assam average temperature is around 15-18C. Other than temperature, its wide hill slope and minimum rain fall before raining season make it a largest tea farm in India.
During the 18th century, British tried to transplant Chinese tea plant from china to India, but due to several reasons, tea plants were not able to adapt to the weather and died. Fortunately, Indian found wild tea plants in Assam region. With the helps from British, Assam become one of the largest tea farm in India.
Nowadays, Assam tea farm stretches across 20 acres, and producing 500 000 tons tea leaves every year (30% of India tea production). The famous Kaziranga Park is located inside Assam region, and the rhino in the park has become the logo/sign of Assam tea.
There are 2 ways of Assam tea processing, orthodox and CTC (Crush, Tear, Curl). Orthodox processed black teas are less bitter, and has subtle and multi-layered falvors. CTC processed teas are in general to be bitter and lower quality as compared to orthodox processed teas. Orthodox processed black teas are following the Orange Pekoe System, while CTC processed teas are using a different system.
Due to the stronger taste of CTC processed black teas, it's more suitable for making milk tea. While orthodox processed black tea is mainly used as fine tea products.

GE said that customers could use a combination of energy saving products like smart meters that closely regulate energy use in a home and solar panels that can efficiently generate and store energy. The result would be a home that would balance the amount of energy it consumes with the amount it produces.
GE said this could be achieved by 2015.
The Fairfield, Conn.-based conglomerate plans to introduce a home energy manager and a new line of thermostats next year that would help homeowners better control their use of energy. When combined with appliances like energy efficient appliances, GE said homes could sharply reduce their energy consumption.
GE said homeowners could generate energy using products such as solar photovoltaic panels, small wind turbines that generate energy and flexible thin film solar panels.
Separately, GE announced three new customers for its "smart grid" technologies that are meant to reduce energy usage across electrical networks. GE said it has deals with energy providers in Hawaii, a chemical plant in Canada and a New Zealand electricity distributor.

Hardware Products
Hardware Overview
The hardware of an IMS seismic network is divided into three major constituents, namely sensors, digital acquisition and data communication.
- Sensors are devices that convert ground motion (ground velocity or acceleration) into a measurable electronic signal. Non-seismic sensors may also be used in an IMS seismic network.
- Digital acquisition encompasses devices responsible for the conversion of analog signals from sensors, into a digital format. Data can be recorded continuously or by employing triggering algorithms that determine when a seismic event occurs.
- Seismic data is then transmitted to a central computer for storage and processing or to a local disk in the case of a Stand-Alone system. Various means of data communication can be employed to suit different system environments.

Thank you for these wonderful pics.ReplyDelete
I am beginning to doubt though if the fringe tiara is actually a tiara. The only picture of it being worn as a tiara features Princess Charlotte, and even in that picture, she sported it like a headpiece ala Wonder Woman where the piece was against her forehead than on top of her head. So I think Princess Charlotte just wore the necklace creatively for that photograph.
The Cartier tiara is a very elegant piece of jewelry. We've seen grander and more bejeweled tiaras from other royal families, but I have to say that most of these are rather ghastly and monstrous. What usually happens is that the tiaras or the other pieces of jewelry end up being the center of attention and not the royal lady wearing it.
I wish Prince Rainier took up after his father and gifted his outstandingly beautiful bride a tiara worthy of her new role. Grace got this tiny tiara; lovely and classy but minuscule nonetheless. And that tiara with detachable clips? Practical, fine, but not worthy of Princess Grace in my opinion.Replies
The Fringe Tiara is photographed as being worn by HM Queen Elizabeth II, (I don't know WHY considering HM has the most extensive personal collection of tiaras in the world, Hmmmm which one should I wear today???) Not to be confused with The Queen Mary Fringe Tiara or the Russian Fringe tiara. Most tiaras, especially those that are very minimalist halos or tall-standing ones are quite interchangeable as necklaces.Delete
*Cheers, Mate!
"which was given to her as a wedding present by her husband Prince Louis, Count of Polignac."
Charlotte's husband wasn't Prince Louis. Her husband was Pierre, Count of Polinac. her father was Louis.

A mother who lost her nine-year-old son to a rare form of cancer has revealed how One Direction's Louis Tomlinson and his mother supported her family through his illness.
Sarah Hext has spoken out about the boyband star, after becoming increasingly upset with negative press reports about him, telling of how he changed the life of her son Harvey, before his death in November last year.
While Louis' involvement with the family has previously been kept out of the public eye, Sarah has now given an interview to The Inquisitr, in a bid to show his softer side to the world.
In it, she speaks about how Louis was touched by Harvey's story, after Sarah met his mother Johannah Deakin at a charity event in 2014.
After that, Louis created "precious memories" with the youngster and his twin brother Spencer, who were both born with Down's Syndrome, inviting them as his personal guests to exclusive events, buying them touching gifts, and paying for a family trip to Disneyland, which he later joined them on.
"Louis and Johannah have given us precious memories with Harvey and all of our children and that is priceless, we have so many beautiful photos of Harvey to look back on in some amazing places," Sarah told the publication.
She also revealed that Louis was arranging for a winter wonderland to be built in their garden as a surprise for Harvey, but he sadly died before it became a reality.
Despite Harvey's passing, which came after a long battle with an aggressive childhood cancer called neuroblastoma, Louis is still continuing to support the family, and has said he will treat them to a Center Parcs holiday when they are ready.
"People don't know the real Louis, Jay has told me that when Louis suffers a bad press day he says to her 'come on mum, let's make someone happy today.' That's the kind of man Louis is," Sarah said, adding: "Louis Tomlinson is very grounded, he is family orientated and both Louis and Jay hold a very special place in my family's hearts."
Louis hinted at his involvement with the family after Harvey's death, when he tweeted a picture in tribute to him, writing: "Fly high buddy x."
Fly high buddy x pic.twitter.com/NjcGHh6KmO— Louis Tomlinson (@Louis_Tomlinson) December 7, 2015
One Direction fans were understandably delighted after Sarah revealed Louis' good heart, branding the singer an "angel" as they took to Twitter to praise him.
He's such a good person I'm overwhelmed @Louis_Tomlinson pic.twitter.com/QQodxXuRuX— a* (@nothisanna) January 13, 2016

The right tool for the job
You focus on your core research, we take care of the rest
SwiNG plays a pivotal role in supporting the Swiss research community to help boost scientific innovation in Switzerland, ensuring it maintains its leadership role. SwING and its technical support team works with individual researchers, research groups, IT providers and local support teams, as well as in partnership with funding agencies. SwiNG's ultimate goal is to cover the full spectrum of research disciplines to empower every Swiss researcher, ensuring effective return of investment, sustainable resources and services.
Run your experiments on the SwING national computational service & join us in our quest to make every Swiss researcher digital!
The time a scientist cannot spend on his or her research is unproductive time. Waiting for computation to complete, climbing the learning curve to use computational infrastructure, searching for online recipes to fix a problem. All these things hold back researchers from focusing on their core work. SwING is committed to minimizing this time by enabling researchers by:
- Pooling computational resources across Switzerland. More resources mean faster computation time.
- Working as a team with researchers and their communities, IT providers and local support teams.
- Building a support network across Switzerland, coordinating the activities of existing support units and fostering the exchange of know-how to extend and sustain it.
- Making expert knowledge available when and where it is most needed through a nationally coordinated approach.
- Developing and implementing a national strategy for scientific computing with consensus from all stakeholders.

I recently heard about a new app called Style Book. In my opinion, this app is so awesome! It has up to 90 different style features. The features are broken up into 10 different categories: looks, closet, packing list, inspiration library, calendar, shopping, size tracker, style expert, style stats, and wifi share. The three categories that I could not wait to play with were looks, closet, and packing list. With those three categories alone you can completely organize your clothes and have several outfits planed for any occasion. I really love creating outfits and trying to see how many unique outfits I can make using the same item. So those three categories were enough for me to purchase the app. So far the only two negatives about the app are that it does cost $3.99 and it is currently only available for iPads and iPhones. Style Book does have an email list for Android users to be contacted when their Android version is complete. For those of my readers that do have Apple products I would love to hear what you think of Style Book!

it a chance?
That's what Michael Lee claims to do at:
Yeah, it seems a little exaggerated, and you almost feel as though he's giving you the keys to some sort
of black magic or 'dark' power.
But he swears under oath his secrets are not based on
the 'dark' side......Despite giving you the absolute power to put anyone
under your control and change their way of thinking.
The only favor Michael asks is that you use his techniques ethically and responsibly.
See it for yourself here:
Inside Michael's unusual program, you will discover:
* A very powerful strategy that will make anyone reveal exactly how they want to be sold. This is key
to making lots of money!
* 5 secrets to read minds. This is mind-blowing stuff that even mentalists and magicians don't want you to know!
* How to make your dream girl or boy fall madly in love with you.
* How to accurately detect lies and be a walking lie-detector.
* How to use the "magic touch" to get anyone to do what you want. This is so sneaky they won't even
notice you doing it to them.
* 5 crucial things you should do (and not do) with your eyes to build trust and be liked.
* The amazing "anti-pressure" strategy that will make your prospects beg you to sell your product or service to them!
* How to make people doubt and change their beliefs, no matter how stubborn or close-minded they are.
* How to set yourself free from manipulators and controlling people who love to "dictate" your every
action and decision.
* And much, much more!

10:25PM: Jetlag 1, Me 0. Short sleeps then nights of wakefulness. A slightly dopey state of daytime being. It rained this evening. Addis Ababa is chilly damp green place. About 7,500 feet high and between three and four million people.
Addis seems a dark city. Our fourth floor ceiling to floor windows look out on the city skyline offering up a mere scattering of lights. Where's the neon gaudiness of night time in the metroplex as we know it? In fact in the whole panorama before me I see exactly one red sign, too distant to know what it might entice me to buy. The short distance between that city skyline and me is densely suburban but there's an absence of street lights also. I know from all my previous visits to this continent that every few streets there's the tiny, tin or other found-material-built shack with shelves of crackers…

Busy recording...recording...recording
I haven't been active on the blog scene lately as I have just started at a new hospital in my other life...as well as continuing to help out at my old hospital; so burning the candle at both ends has left little time for blogging here. But now that I am more or less acclimated, I will try to update more often. In addition, we are working on an all new Brain Gravy website type experience, which will include show notes, beer and booze reviews, and our own general rants and raves...

Is Google and Facebook Evil?
I don't know how many people read this blog or how many people follow tech like I do, but something has happened recently that really makes me question the ethics of both Facebook and Google.
There is no question how much both these services have worked their way in to the public eye. Search without Google just seems crazy and let's face it, there are a ton of people, my wife included who cannot imagine a life without Facebook. However, recent events leave the ethics of these companies in serous doubt.
Facebook implemented a new security protocol that leave many of its users' privacy wide open, not to mention the recent risks found in the games Facebook makes available i.e. Mafia Wars. Google has CEOs saying "privacy is dead, get over it". When it comes to these kind of arrogant statements, along with the statement "if you're not doing anything wrong, you don't have anything to worry about." from a previous post, that makes me really feel like opting out of these services for good. I know this includes blogger. "Do no Evil" Google…remember?
Tell me what you think. Is Google and Facebook evil?
Here are a couple of articles written by far more talented writers than I.
Please do some checking around.
Have a great week everyone.

Off the Subject.
I imagine this will bet pulled, but I just have to say…I AM NOT A FUCKING CRIMINAL, SO STOPPING ASKING TO SEARCH MY SHIT WHEN i WALK WHEN i AM LEAVING THE STORE…just saying.
I have started denying people access to my search my bags when I am walking out of a store. After all, if I am not doing anything wrong I don't have anything to worry about, right? Wander how long until I run out of places to shop. Does anyone ever stop to think that whole idea of "If you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about." reeks of a police state.
I have a Stone Smoked Porter in the fridge. I think I should drink it. This will be a first time for me and I can't wait. I hear it is like liquid steak. Not liquefied steak, just steak flavored liquid with alcohol in it .
Short post, got to get to work. Have a great week everybody, and never let the bastards get you down. Google that.

Ravi Zacharias and Abdu Murray bring a fresh perspective on Jesus in new book with Zondervan
Jesus through Eastern Eyes to release February 2020
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Apr. 11, 2018 — Ravi Zacharias, president of Ravi Zacharias International Ministries, and Abdu Murray, North American Director with Ravi Zacharias International Ministries, have signed on to publish a co-authored book, Jesus through Eastern Eyes, with Zondervan in February 2020.
In the West Jesus is usually seen through one lens: that of Western reasoning and linear thought. As the world becomes smaller and more people are brought to our door, a broader view of Jesus is needed—one that can be grasped by Easterners and can penetrate the hearts and imaginations of postmodern Westerners.
In Jesus through Eastern Eyes, Ravi Zacharias and Abdu Murray will capture a revitalized gospel message through an Eastern lens, revealing its power and sharing the truth about Jesus in a compelling and winsome light. Incorporating…

© Surrey Lieutenancy 2018
The Lord–Lieutenant writes:
The toll of great houses lost over the past century and more is devastating. Some of you may remember an exhibition at the V&A in 1974 entitled The Destruction of the English Country House put together by Roy Strong, Marcus Binney and John Harris following a report by John Cornforth. It listed over a thousand houses then - and 23 in Surrey alone. There will have been many since. And many, many were lost to fire.
And now Clandon Park joins this mournful list, and a great jewel in the Surrey crown is lost – maybe for ever. It is, of course, too early yet to know what the future may be. And lost too is the Surrey Infantry Museum, housing a wonderful collection of memorabilia from the two county regiments – the East Surrey's and the Queen's. Mercifully the records had been safely lodged with the Surrey History Trust. One witness to the destruction described seeing what looked like a fairly intact case of medals – but a bath had fallen through two or more floors to land beside it.
Lady Teresa Waugh, daughter of the 6th Earl of Onslow, lived at Clandon during part of her childhood, which she recalls in a novel she wrote in 2002 entitled The House. It is a fictionalised account but pretty faithful, it seems, to her experience of Clandon and her time there. Two little extracts, the first supposedly written by Annie, brought up on the estate and persuaded to be housekeeper for Lord Otterton (Onslow) as he moves into the House; she, of course, comments on the wonderful Marble Hall and other marvels but more intimately she remarks:
"Today her Ladyship took me round the house. I was quite fascinated. Even the rooms on the top floor where I shall have my room and where the children will live, seem huge to me, most of them with black patches on the ceiling where the water comes through when it rains. At the moment everything's in a dreadful mess and needs a thorough cleaning. There is a huge landing on the top floor with a great, long table in the middle and a little spiral staircase going up onto the roof. We can have a washing line on the roof and dry the clothes there. From outside it looks as though the roof is flat, but when you get up there, you find rows of small pointed roofs running parallel to each other, down which the rain flows into a series of gutters. Round the edge is a stone balustrade much of which is broken."
And Georgina, small daughter of the house, writes in her diary with her own spelling:
"I am having a 4 posta bed. Mummy says it is only an ugly one and there is a lavatry inside the bookcase on the landing. Nanny has gone and Mamzel is here. She has got to teech us French. Boring. She looks at you with horrid eyes. Jamie thinks she is a german spy but Mummy says she is swiss. Lucky Thomas is at bording school so he wont have to see her much."
Thus, pictures of life at Clandon before the National Trust took it. And now only the walls stand as witnesses to what has been. We will all in Surrey mourn its loss with the Onslow family, with the National Trust and with the Nation.

Setting off for the gym and shopping and….yes…that is a toilet in the hall! We are waiting for the plumber to come and renovate our shower room which is just down that little corridor to the left, so you can see space is limited until it's finished.
Grabbing my shopping bags and trainers, I set off to the gym about 9:15am. It's wet and windy as I park close to the reception.
At 10:00am I'm on my way to the superstore where the windswept, rain-soaked car park awaits.
BUT, there's something important I must do before I begin to shop……NO…I managed to avoid this section of the cafe…….
….and settle for porridge and a pot of tea for breakfast instead!
Time to go shopping in the store and arrived home with all complete about noon.
Fridge, freezer,veg rack and fruit bowls filled with fresh food…thank goodness…I find going shopping a real ordeal….can relax….until next Wednesday.
Really ready for lunch now….soup and sandwiches…I've 'gone off' soup at the moment so just have sandwiches.
After lunch , TV news and a bit of relaxation, it's time to get the recycling bins ready for the collection day tomorrow. We put them out the night before because they're supposed to come from 7:00am onwards and we don't arise until 8:00am at the earliest! When your kitchen is on the first floor and there are three floors to cover, even though there's only two of us now, we still have four separate bins. Only two will be emptied this week, but we need to clear the house of everything.
6:00pm and its time to make a chicken noodle stir fry for tea.
Self portrait through the landing mirror….pity I didn't stand further back to get the whole of the lovely oval shape in…..cheer up self!

Sometimes in the summer, when I was young, we would set an alarm to wake up early and go outside to play.
I remember those mornings well; the wet grass, birds chirping, cool morning air. It was so peaceful. The world seemed full of promise and life felt good.
I'm not a morning person by any stretch of the meaning. I never feel the need to rise early to start my day. I know the sunrise is beautiful and there's no wind and the sky is clear….but I'd rather be snuggled in my bed sleeping, letting others enjoy this time of day.
I got up early this morning, really early, 5:30am early. Not sure why, just felt like I wanted to. I did enjoy the morning and its beauty. It reminded me of that time when I was young, my parents in the barn while my sister and I played. My feet could almost feel the morning dew on the grass. It was a good memory. 🌅

Solar field crews face a variety of safety risks every day on the job. From tools and equipment to heights and electrical hazards, solar technicians need to be well-versed in recognizing potential dangers in their workplace and understanding what to do to minimize them.
Although tools such as a job hazard analysis can be useful in helping identify and document risks, nothing replaces a well-structured tailgate meeting to ensure safety awareness is top of mind before a job.
Safeopedia defines a tailgate meeting (otherwise known as a toolbox talk) as an informal onsite safety meeting that is delivered before the start of the job/shift. These are brief, 15-minute talks that a supervisor gives right before the crew begins work that day, and can cover a number of different topics. The goal of these gatherings is to inform workers on how to respond a given hazard of topic and remind them of general safety best practices.
Tailgate meeting formats can vary from company to company, and there are many resources on the internet on how to conduct a tailgate talk. However, we are going to take a step back and share a few best practices on how solar team directors or executives should manage the execution of these safety meetings:
There are two key ways you can do this: with a set schedule or by reflection.
With a set schedule…
This ensures that employees are always exposed to a new topic each time within their first year. By the time they cycle back to the first topic, they would be due for a refresher anyway or may be in a position to give the talk instead.
Schedule tailgate meetings on a regular basis. Once a week is common and manageable.
By reflection…
The second method involves a shorter time period; for example, a quarter instead of a year…
The advantage with this method is that you can ensure proper review of incident-related topics that might not have been absorbed as well the first time can be covered again to prevent similar accidents from happening.
it pays off to keep detailed records of past incidents and causes to perform analysis and be in a position to focus tailgate meetings on what matters most. Be sure to have reliable and accurate incident reports tracking in place!
Ensure your supervisors are knowledgeable of best practices when it comes to presenting safety talks. These include:
Have a checklist of the main topics that everyone can follow along as the tailgate meeting is in progress and can sign off at the end. Experience demonstrates that this approach significantly increases retention and buy-in.
As a manager, you are responsible for the safety of your employees. With that comes the need to supervise the development of your team's safety repertoire so you know they are equipped with the knowledge to prevent injuries. Here are some key suggestions to help you better track and manage a tailgate meeting:
Using a technological solution to track tailgate meeting completion gives you a whole arsenal of data to better ensure that safety always remains #1 for your supervisors and field crews.
Scoop® Solar is a unique solution that incorporates mobile and cloud technology to create an intuitive field-to-office experience for your team. With innovative easy-to-build, easy-to-use WorkApps™, managers can build mobile-optimized tailgate meeting checklists that outline the points to cover in a safety topic and allow employees to sign off for attendance.
Scoop is built for field operations and can streamline processes from tailgate meeting tracking to incident reporting. Curious as to how exactly that works? Watch a demo recording of how the Scoop platform works here!

BOSTON (Reuters) - The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston will pay between $15 million and $30
million to scores of people to settle claims that a priest sexually abused them when they were children,
the victims' lawyer said on Tuesday.
While the settlement closes the book on most civil suits pending against defrocked priest John
Geoghan, the diocese faces new claims by as many as 200 plaintiffs who have come forward since
January and accused Geoghan and other Boston-area priests of sexually abusing them.
"This isn't happy money, this is blood money," said Mitchell Garabedian, who represented the 86
plaintiffs covered in Tuesday's settlement.
Garabedian said he still represents plaintiffs in 27 suits against the Boston Archdiocese and expected
more suits to surface.
"This obviously will not put the issue involving the archdiocese and child abuse and sex abuse by
priests to an end," he said. "It's just the beginning. The investigations have to continue and sex abuse
by priests must be uncovered."
In a statement, Boston Cardinal Bernard Law said the settlement was a positive development for all
"This settlement is an important step in reaching closure for these victims who have long endured the
damage done to them by John Geoghan," the statement said.
Since the accusations against Geoghan first came to light, dioceses in California, Maine, New Hampshire
and Pennsylvania have suspended priests over allegations they molested children. In Palm Beach,
Florida, Bishop Anthony O'Connell resigned last week after admitting he had had inappropriate contact
with a teenager 27 years ago.
Geoghan is already serving a nine-to-10 year prison sentence for fondling a child and faces at least one
more criminal trial stemming from allegations by about 130 people that he molested them during his more
than 30 years as a priest. A judge last week threw out two charges of child rape against Geoghan.
The scandal has severely hurt the credibility of Law, the senior U.S. prelate, who along with other
church leaders knew about Geoghan's history of sexually abusing children while they shuttled him from
parish to parish in the 1980s and 1990s.
Law said he hoped the settlement could help restore confidence in the diocese's hierarchy.
"Today is a step in the right direction to restore the trust and confidence that has been damaged and
provide the necessary support to bring about unity not division," his statement said.
In the aftermath of the revelations about Geoghan, the Boston diocese has handed over to police the
names of more than 80 priests accused of abuse over the last 50 years.
In the agreement, each plaintiff was assigned a range of damages depending on the seriousness of the
accusation. The final amount paid to each victim will be negotiated in a two-hour meeting with
arbitrators, Garabedian said.
Garabedian was flanked by four of the plaintiffs, who said they were relieved the deal was struck, but
also still struggling with the effects of the abuse.

We believe MicaRed embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. MicaRed should be proud of its accomplishment, as the competition was very strong."
Red Herring's editorial staff evaluated the companies on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, management quality, strategy, and market penetration. This assessment of potential is complemented by a review of the track record and standing of startups relative to their sector peers, allowing Red Herring to see past the "buzz" and make the list a valuable instrument of discovery and advocacy for the most promising new business models in Asia.

Almost Summertime Pasta
Lately I have found myself spending most of my day not living in the current moment that I am in. I'm either thinking of what I want to get done in the next few hours, trying to figure out how the rest of my week is going to go, or replaying conversations and decisions that happened to me yesterday. It's true, I do like to have a plan but recently my constant planning has only lead me to make yet another plan. I keep catching myself wondering how I'm going to get through next week before this week has even finished and because of that I've been too mentally preoccupied to enjoy the lovely moments happening in my life right now.
Have you ever noticed that the really great moments in life are never actually planned? They just kind of happen and it's up to us to take notice of that awesome thing going on now. I'm starting to understand that we are only promised right now and not a second more. I want to make an effort to work on enjoying the time that I have been given instead of wondering what I am going to do with a day that is not even mine to plan yet.
On the other hand I have been taking full advantage of the beautiful fruits and veggies that are in season at this very moment. What is in season vegetable wise right now? Artichokes, corn on the cob, fava beans, asparagus, and rubarb just to name a few. I threw together a pasta using a couple of the quicker cooking veggies for dinner a few nights ago. In the time that it took me to boil a pot of water and cook a pound of pasta, I was able to quickly sauté these veggies and have a pretty dinner on the table. Yes a little pre chopping and planning was involved, but instead of continuing to plan and worry about clean up after dinner I allowed myself to just relax and enjoy this simple meal with my boys.
Most people I know love Fridays and hate Mondays, but I love them both equally.
Fridays are great because it feels as if the whole world is going on vacation! I love listening to people ask each other about their weekend plans. It doesn't matter if they are planning on taking a mini vacation up the coast or if the weekend holds nothing but promises of naps and BBQ's at home. Everyone is equally excited for the next two precious days. Mondays are also wonderful because I adore having a fresh new week before me. Mondays may not be as fun as Fridays, but you gotta love the feeling of a productive Monday and the great start that busy day will give to your week. I'm not the biggest fan of Wednesdays because I usually feel like I am starting to run out of steam and Thursdays just plain bug me. I have a feeling Thursday also has a hard time with itself. I'm sure it knows darn well that everybody wishes it just would hurry up and be Friday!
Here is salad that is perfect for both a Fancy lunch Friday or for a Meatless Monday dinner. Caesar salad and I go way back and a few weeks ago I decided it was high time I learn how to make my own caesar dressing. It turned out great! Garlicky, lemony and with just a hint of anchovy. The baked, smashed potatoes helped to make this salad a little heartier, and of course the dressing tasted even better on Monday than when I had originaly made it on Friday.

Strawberry Sheet Cake
I've always been a big fan of reading. When my sister and I shared a bedroom and slept in bunk beds, I use to hide books under my sheets so I could read out loud to her after our parents had put us to bed. In junior high I devoured "The Babysitter's Club", and "Sweet Valley High" book series and was known to read an entire book in one day! In my early 20′s the library became my silent refuge after becoming a stay at home mom with only one family car and no cable T.V. Today finding the time to indulge in a really good book is hard to come by, and because of my lack of time I rely heavily on book recommendations from girl friends and once in a while the media. I was not surprised when my curiosity was peeked after hearing about a brand new book that was taking over book clubs, on the New York Times best seller list and even the subject of a Dr. Oz show! Despite this book's slightly taboo subject I decided to read it and see what all the fuss was about. If you haven't yet guessed the title of this book I'll give you a hint, it rhymes with "Fifty Shades of Grey".
I downloaded the book just in time for the weekend, and I even let Ryan know what I was about to read, and what this book was supposed to be about. We laughed and I promised to let him know the moment this book got interesting. It got interesting alright, but I just couldn't bring myself to read any more past the third chapter. I'm not here to label this book as cheap or sleazy (the first three chapters were very well written!), but here's my deal; I'm one of those people that tend to really absorb whatever it is that they are reading or watching. When I'm into a book I'll think about the characters even when I'm not reading that book, and I guess I just didn't want the content of this particular book to be floating around in my head all day. Most woman probably won't agree with me on this, and I'm perfectly ok with that. I'm no Pollyanna, and in the past I've ruffled a few feathers with certain decisions I've made. Because of that I've learned we all need to live to the beat of our own drum and the only person who can figure out that beat is you.
In other news I made a fresh strawberry sheet cake last weekend and it was pretty fantastic. Sheet cakes are great because they are grood for a crowd, super easy to bake up and even easier to serve! The only hard part was trying to find a recipe that didn't have a bunch of funky ingredients in it like cake mix, jello or strawberry flavoring. Not that there is anything wrong with these kinds of things. I've certainly been known to use them, and they do have their place. But sometimes I need to know where to draw the line, because not everything is good for me all the time.

Savory French Toast
Alright dads and kids listen up! Mothers day is this Sunday and if you don't have anything figured out for the mom in your life yet don't worry, I totally have you covered! Let's start with how the rest of this week is going to go down…
Tuesday – Thursday: Kids, you're going to pick up your clothes, take out the garbage and brush your teeth every night without being asked. You're going to do your homework without complaining and speaking of complaining you're going to love everything your mom makes you for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Got it? Dads, your going to call your mom (and the mother of your children) randomly just to tell her how much you love her and to also see how her day is going. Just let her talk, she might have a lot to say!
Friday – Take mom out to dinner! It doesn't have to be fancy, burgers are perfect for a family Friday night out! Maybe you could invite some friends to join you. The more the merrier I always say!
Saturday – Is there something your mom would like to do or get done? A nice long trail run with friends, lunch with her mom or maybe she would like to work on the yard? Whatever it is give her the gift of time to get it done and don't let her feel guilty about it! Moms have a funny tendency to feel guilty if we take a little time out for ourselves.
Sunday – Quietly slip out of bed, wake the kids and immediately get a pot of coffee going (I'm just going to assume that most moms like coffee in the morning as much as I do!). Find a tray, a plate, a pretty napkin and maybe even some fresh flowers. Turn on the stove, whip up some breakfast with the kids (don't worry I'll tell you what to make!) and then clean up your mess! Put everything together and surprise the mom you all love with breakfast in bed! She might cry, laugh and give everybody a bite to eat off of her beautiful breakfast tray because that's what moms do. We give back the love we are given to the people we adore the most.


text: Me,mama and gugu left home at early to get to Raffles City by bus to catch the Buffet Brunch @Prego at 11.30am. Although we have booked, we still want to get the freshest bite. We singaporeans are known to be so kiasu, there were already people eating when we reached there on time which means we are not that kiasu,hehe..most people would choose the $40 brunch because it is very worth it for the goodness of the spread lor..Couldn't decide what to eat at first look,so just took the very first dish i saw which was a starter of apricot with mackeral paste. I don't know if i was too hungry or it just tasted heavenly.Then i proceeded to the hot dishes and took pizza,vegetables, baked egg, fish etc..they were all average i guess, maybe because they were permanent dishes at a buffet table, but their pizzas were outstanding because Prego is good at them! i also had some salad and raw seafood, the prawns were great because theyare fresh and crunchy! the pastas station made me confused,so many choices, so i decided to try something new! white wine sauce one, very unique and i LOVe It!Forgot to mention the smoothie station, i had many cups of juices, from apple juice, to carrot and lemon juice, to strawberry milkshake. The service was quite prompt and friendly, the waiters kept the empty plates and cups quite quickly.The Dessert Station was always my favourite, i will try every single dessert without fail. Their rasberry cheesecake and chocolate cake were the best. I like te crunchy base in them. Their tiramisu was slightly under my expectation though..Again, i walked out feeling likely to puke..Haiz, that's that always the result after a buffet.After a super heavy meal, it's time for some walking! Gugu wanted to make use of her 20% voucher at Pop the central so we went there. It was quite crowded, i Jenga game was going on and i wanted to joint but gugu did not want to accompany me. Gugu very kindly bought me a digital english dictionary to help me improve my English so i can Ace my O-levels..I felt my heart break, do not want her to spend so much, she still buy me sme storybooks and assessment books. Cost her over $2oo! yet she is fine with it lor..i did not want to go home so early so we walked back to RAffles City shopping Centre, gugu needed to buy a photoframe for her boss so we went round to look for it. After some exercising, some food had digested and we were ready to eat MORE!hehe..i suggested t0 go Kuriya for their Tea-Special, a dessert and a drink for $5+++, quite worth it right? So we ordered a fruits and cream with soba crepe and a Anmitsu with ice cream which i changed to sesame ice cream for an additional $1 charge which gugu is most willing to pay for! i like japanese dessert a lot and i think Kuriya's stand out because theirs are healthy! they use soba flour to make the crepe!Sounds healthy to you?HAHA..Zzz..time to go home after a day of Eating!yummy..will upload the pictures sooooon...:)

About their very interesting essay, New Wine in Old Wineskins: Metaphor and Legal Research, 92 Notre Dame L. Rev Online 1 (2016), Amy Sloan and Colin Starger write
This essay examines a different set of metaphors currently doing damage in law. Though not as life-and-death dramatic as the War on Drugs or the struggle against patriarchy, these metaphors affect every law student and practicing lawyer. What's more, our examination implicates broader philosophical issues that resonate well beyond specifically legal discourse. The metaphors we examine pertain to legal research—how we conceptualize the task of 'finding law' to make arguments and solve legal problems. The broader philosophical issues concern changes wrought by technology. When technology radically alters our material world, sometimes our conceptual world fails to adjust. To successfully evolve, we must interrogate and change our deepest metaphors. This Essay undertakes this foundational task in the brave new world of legal research.
This Essay argues that conceptualizing emerging legal technologies using inherited research metaphors is like pouring new wine in old wineskins—it simply doesn't work. When a primary challenge of research was physically gathering hidden and expensive information, metaphors based on journey, acquisition, and excavation helped make sense of the research process. But new, technologically-driven search methods have burst those conceptual wineskins. The Internet and Big Data make information cheap and easily accessible. The old metaphors fail.

Reviewed: Marc Jacobs Beauty Cover(t) Stick Color Corrector
As beauty editors, we get bombarded with a ton of new products every day (we know—tough life). Reviewed is a series where we report on some of the best products we've tried. Whether it's a drugstore lipstick that lasted all day or a hand cream that saved us this winter, you'll find all of our favorites in this column. Enjoy!
To say that my skin can get a bit rosy is an understatement. When I'm excited, flustered, warm, cold, or even sleepy, my face tends to run red. It's a problem—especially because I don't usually feel like applying a full face of makeup. Enter Marc Jacobs Beauty's Cover(t) Stick Color Corrector ($42). This portable, twist-up stick makes color correcting so easy. The three specially formatted shades are like an Instagram filter for your face.
My two faves, Co(vert) Affairs and Bright Now (ha, get it?), include marbleized hues to brighten dullness and neutralize redness. The former combines orange and green, which works to banish that ever-annoying flush that pops up during the day, and the latter is a mix of pink and lilac to brighten up your skin.
The formula is balmy, velvety, and soft and slides on easily without a brush. It also has this amazing blurring effect, where it evens your complexion and seemingly rids your skin of imperfections. I blend a bit with my fingers and apply my favorite tinted moisturizer on top. But it can be applied all over or just used to spot treat. Easy!
Luckily it comes out this month, so you won't have to wait long.
Until then, here's how to use every type of color-correcting concealer.

With the growing impact of mobile apps and digital touchpoints on shopping behavior, customers have more channels to find and buy products.
This translates into more opportunities for marketers to connect with and engage such customers. But it also means a great deal more complexity for successful marketing execution.
A customer journey may begin on a smartphone with searches for product information, then continue through social sites or email. Product discussions can take place in forums or in person with friends. The final purchase may take place in a store or online. After‑purchase communications and offers can then be directed to customers over multiple channels.

Macmillan Science and Education recently invested in part of the Kings Cross regeneration development, bringing together all of its separate divisions to work together in a 'campus' style environment. The company acquired some beautiful historical buildings that make up the campus, one of which is known as 'The Stables', formerly used to house the horses who pulled the horse-drawn omnibuses. Macmillan were keen to celebrate this local history, and wanted to create a focal point for the campus in the form of a life size, white horse statue, positioned within The Stables building.
A team of designers from Macmillan Science and Education came up with the concept to create a saddle for the horse, the saddle acting as a metaphor for stability and balance as the company (and publishing as an industry) embark on a period of substantial change and development, whilst celebrating Macmillan's rich heritage through the beauty of its objects.
It was my role to turn their concept into an art installation. I had access to some stunning documents from the Macmillan archives (ranging from Sir John Tenniel's Alice in Wonderland illustrations to the original St. Martin's architects plan) and my brief was to incorporate these documents into the installation.
'We want the installation to be beautiful and really make the most of materials that would otherwise never be seen.'
Firstly, the horse (pictured here) was delivered to my studio, where it lived with me for a few months, while I worked on the saddle.
I borrowed an equestrian saddle, in order to work out the pattern, and I familiarised myself with equestrian terminology. Here, I am working on the stirrups.
Macmillan were keen for me to incorporate their logo into the design.
Book cloths were used for details, such as the brass attachments and rosettes.
Macmillan Science and Education gave me some of their original archive material to use, such as these maps. For their collections of rare manuscripts and first editions, I took scans and printed them out on to the end papers of old books.
The Stirrup Leathers
The Saddle Tree is the base on which the rest of the saddle is built. Usually it is based on wood or a similar synthetic material, and is eventually covered in leather. My Saddle Tree was made from cardboard.
Cutting out the pattern for the seat.
I decided to stitch the fragments of pages and cloths together to represent the unity of the Macmillan Science and Educationn divisions coming together and working together in their new building.
The final installation in The Stables, Macmillan Science and Education, Kings Cross
The team from Macmillan Science and Education sanded and spray-painted the fibre glass horse.

An Evening with Hurley Haywood
October 26, 2018 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm$8 – $12
From his upbringing in Chicago and Wheaton, Illinois, to his chance meeting with Peter Gregg, Hurley Haywood was destined to drive anything he could get his hands on. Life-long relationships with Porsche and the Brumos dealership provided the kinds of opportunities of which most racing drivers only dream.
With three overall victories at Le Mans, five at the Rolex 24 at Daytona, and two at the 12 Hours of Sebring, Haywood is the world's most successful endurance sports-car racer. In addition, Haywood won several championships and dozens of other races during a career spanning more than 43 years.
The Simeone Museum will have a special evening on October 26th with Hurley Haywood and Sean Cridland to discuss their new book, HURLEY, From the Beginning. The event begins at 7:00 PM and will include a book signing at the end. Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the museum gift shop. All members get in free.
