But they shouldn't be exclusive to nationwide events. You can arrange your own street party for times of local significance or any other reason. They're the best way to meet neighbours too.

What: Shares of Pernix Therapeutics Holdings (NASDAQ:PTX), a specialty pharmaceutical company with a focus on neurology and psychiatry diseases, jumped more than 15% today after it reported second quarter earnings.
So what: Revenue at the company exploded 151% higher to $47 million, which was nicely ahead of the $46 million that analysts were expecting. Gross margins also expanded sharply to 71%, up from the 46% reported in the second quarter of 2014.
Strong sales of Treximet, which the company acquired last May from GlaxoSmithKline and is used to treat migraines, was largely responsible for the strong growth in sales, as the company sold $25.5 million worth of product during the quarter.
While these results sound good, the company reduced its revenue guidance for the year to a range of $170 million to $180 million, down sharply from the $220 million to $240 million that the company guided for in the first quarter report, and is also significantly below the $214 million that analysts are currently expecting. Investors appeared to have shrugged off this news and bid up the shares anyway.
Now what: Today's price movement should come as a little bit of relief to long-term shareholders, as Pernix has been a quite a tough stock to own this year.
While the huge sales growth and margin expansion certainly look good, I think there are plenty of reasons to be cautious about Pernix's stock. The company sports quite a large debt load, which currently sits at $357.9 million, versus only $66.8 million of cash. In addition, Treximet, which was the biggest driver of the huge growth in sales, patents begin to expire in 2017.
I think today's share price movement brought a little bit of relief to investors, but I will personally be staying far away from Pernix's stock until the company proves that it can become solidly profitably and shows signs that it will significant reduce their debt load.

Rapture Fusion Brown Ale
BREWERY: Rabbit Hole Brewing in Justin (Denton County)
STYLE: Cross between American Brown Ale and English Brown Ale. In general, brown ales are malty with low hops bitterness. American Brown Ales are made with domestic ingredients, and can include some non-traditional additions.
THE PITCH: A silver medal winner at the 2015 Great American Beer Festival, this brown ale includes English specialty grains in the malt bill, making it a fusion of American and English styles. It opens with a nutty, pecan-laced coffee aroma. Lightly carbonated, it has a medium body and a toasted malt core. Coffee and dark toast flavors are prominent; on the back end, a crisp citrus note lifts and brightens the flavors -- think the lemon-peel twist you add to espresso. A deft hand with the Cascade hops balances this malty ale, imparting a touch of bitterness to the clean, dry finish.
FUN FACTS: This is one of Rabbit Hole's three core beers, sold year-round in cans. The brewery's seasonal beers are released on draft, and can be purchased at growler bars. Look for Rude Jester, an American IPA, to hit taps in July.
PAIR IT: The beer makes a good match for burgers, steaks and Mexican food.
GET SOME: Sold in six-packs of 12-ounce cans for about $9.49 at Spec's, Goody Goody, Total Wine, Central Market, Whole Foods, Tom Thumb, and many smaller stores with large selections of craft beer.

UPDATE 3 — 7/10, 11:13 a.m. EDT: In an interview Sunday on CNN, Ambassador Nikki Haley said President Trump told Vladimir Putin at their Friday G20 meeting that he knows Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. election.
"(Russia is) gonna always have two different stances on this," she said. "But at the end of the day what was most important was for President Putin to hear from President Trump: 'We know you did this. We didn't like it. Don't do it again.'"
UPDATE 2 — 7/9, 3:29 p.m. EDT: In a series of tweets upon his return to the U.S. from the G20 summit in Germany, President Trump said he "strongly pressed" Vladimir Putin twice about Kremlin interference in the 2016 election, which the Russian leader "vehemently denied".
According to White House chief of staff, Reince Priebus, "The president absolutely didn't believe the denial of President Putin."
Trump also said the pair did not discuss sanctions, as the issue will not be addressed "until the Ukrainian & Syrian problems are solved!"
"Now it is time to move forward in working constructively with Russia!" Trump said.
UPDATE — 3:10 p.m. EDT: Addressing reporters questions Saturday about his meeting with Donald Trump on Friday, President Vladimir Putin admitted to having an extended conversation with the U.S. president about allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 election and said Trump accepted his denial of any wrongdoing.
"(Trump) asked questions, I replied. It seemed to me that he was satisfied with the answers," he said.
Contradicting that characterization of Trump's reaction to the Russian leader's comments on suspected hacks of campaign emails and election systems, U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, said the president "still knows that (the Kremlin) meddled. President Putin knows that they meddled, but he is never going to admit to it."
Putin went on to praise Trump's negotiating skills, saying his "TV persona differs sharply from the real man. He is a very straightforward person, grasps precisely what his interlocutor says, quickly analyzes and responds to questions or new elements of the discussion."
In a much-anticipated event which eclipsed world leaders gathered in Hamburg, Germany, for the G20 summit, President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin met for the first time on Friday.
After briefly meeting early in the day, the pair met for a formal bilateral meeting which lasted longer than two hours. The matter of alleged Russian interference in the November 2016 election was discussed and described as a "robust and lengthy exchange" by U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
Regarded as a "hindrance" to improving relations between the two nations by Tillerson, Mr. Putin denied meddling in America's presidential election.
After overcoming the biggest hurdle in the lead up to their private meeting, matters of pressing importance, Syria, Ukraine, international terrorism and cybersecurity were broached.
On Syria, the two came to an agreement for a partial ceasefire in the war-torn nation, although the meeting did not produce an agreement on the future of Syrian strongman, Bashar al-Assad.
The deal, which includes a "de-escalation agreement", covers the southwestern region of Syria and will begin at noon local Damascus time on Sunday.
"President Putin and I have been discussing various things, and I think it's going very well. We've had some very, very good talks. . . . We look forward to a lot of very positive things happening for Russia, for the United States and for everybody concerned. And it's an honor to be with you," Trump told reporters during a brief break in the meeting.
Although details associated to conversations on Ukraine and North Korea were not revealed, the discussions did yield approval to create a joint working group to prevent interference in one another's elections.
Following the meeting's conclusion, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov contended President Trump had accepted Putin's denial of election interference, a claim that CNN reported a senior White House official denied.
Giving his version of events, Secretary Tillerson said Trump "pressed President Putin on more than one occasion regarding Russian involvement" in the U.S. election.

|Experiencing the Mediterranean for the first time.
Not that long ago, back in early December I think, Stephen got done with a conference call for work and spoke up to say he might have to go to Israel. I think I ran over to the couch where he was sitting and almost tackled him. I surprised myself with my own ferocity in declaring that if he was going to Israel, then I was going to do everything I could in order to accompany him. More than 5 years ago now we went to England, and I was amazed at the amount of history sitting on every street corner, behind every hill. Compared to England, The US has no history. The land that is now the state of Israel can date human settlement back to Cro-Magnon and Neanderthals. They can date their written history back to, you guessed it, biblical times. Compared to Israel, England has no history!
Our niece got to come with us, her first time out of the country, so she was game for whatever sort of sight seeing I had in mind. Since Stephen had to spend most of his time working (poor thing) I got to plan the itinerary. We were staying in a brand new modern city, less than 100 years old, but still I tried to do as many things history related as possible. Alysa and I visited the "old town", flea markets, produce markets, and museums in town. One day we got really ambitious and rented a car to see some of the sights outside of the city. On the last two days all three of us visited Jerusalem and spent time in that really old city as well as at museums and the Holocaust Memorial. I am still overwhelmed by all that we experienced, and am processing it slowly. I'd like to tell you about a few key experiences, I'll break them out into individual posts over the next week(ish.)

New Writer Interview
Ame Dyckman: Tea Party Rules
When you write for children, anything is possible, everything is new, and you never have to grow up. Children are the best and most appreciative audience.
Interviewed by Margot Abel, Associate Director, Ezra Jack Keats Foundation
First of all, congratulations on your EJK New Writer Award! How did you react when you got the news?
THANK YOU! A strange thing happened when I got The Call: I was speechless! But I soon made up for it with 247 'No way!'s and 'What an honor!'s and 'I'M SO HAPPY!'s!
You've said that you always wanted to write children's books. Why did this field of writing, and this audience, appeal so much to you?
When you write for children, anything is possible, everything is new, and you never have to grow up. Children are the best and most appreciative audience. When a kid loves your book, they run up and hug you. Adults generally refrain for some reason.
Why do you think the EJK Book Award jury found Tea Party Rules to be "in the spirit of Keats?"
I love and admire Mr. Keats's work because his characters and their interactions are so perfectly kid-true. Open a Keats book, and you immediately remember what it is to be a child. I try for the same honesty with my own writing. In Tea Party Rules, both of the main characters get to really be children—even though one of them is a bear cub!
Tea Party Rules mixes classic elements from children's literature—the woods, a tea party, a wild animal playmate—with very contemporary behavior. What do you want girls to take away from the story?
I hope everyone who reads Tea Party Rules—girls, boys, grown-ups, and bears—agrees that friendship despite difference is wonderful, compromise during playtime is necessary, and that cookies should be shared. (Especially with kid lit creators. We get hungry.)
Do you think a children's book should always teach a lesson?
I don't think a children's book should always try to teach a lesson. But I think there's always a lesson or two in a children's book.
When you were writing this book, how did you imagine the illustrations? Did you confer with the illustrator? How does the writer of a storybook make room for the illustrator?
I really just envisioned the action itself. So you can imagine how over-the-moon I was to see K.G. Campbell's fantastic illustrations! We only emailed greetings and discussed a few ideas prior to his first sketches. A picture-book author must leave space for the illustrator to have their creative fun—mostly by avoiding overly descriptive text. It's the illustrator's book, too!
How do you think the EJK Book Award will affect your career?
This EJK Book Award has already brought a wave of well-wishes from folks all across our amazing kid lit community and beyond. I'm honored the EJK Committee believed in me, and I will strive to always make books for children that reflect Mr. Keats's vision. Also…'I'M SO HAPPY!' #248!

Cork, Ireland
CORK (County of), a maritime county of the province of MUNSTER, and the largest in Ireland, bounded on the east by the counties of Tipperary and Waterford, on the north by that of Limerick, on the west by that of Kerry, and on the south-west, south, and south-east by St. George's Channel: it extends from 51° 12' to 52° 13' (N. Lat.), and from 9° 45' to 10° 3' (W. Lon.); and comprises, according to the Ordnance survey, 1,725,100 statute acres, of which 1,024,340 are cultivated, and 700,760 are occupied by mountains, bogs, &c. The population, in 1821, was 629,786, and in 1831, 700,359, of which latter number, 407,935 were in the East, and 292,424 in the West, Riding.
The earliest inhabitants of the south-western part of this extensive territory are designated by Ptolemy Uterni or Uterini, and by other writers Iberni, Iberi, and Juerni. They occupied most of the southern part of the country subsequently called Desmond: their name and situation prove them to have been of Spanish Iberian origin, and the former, as well as that of the tribes from which they sprung, and the designation Ibernia or Hibernia, applied to the whole island even by Ptolemy, was derived from the western situation of the country which they inhabited. From Ptolemy's map it appears that the most eastern maritime part of the county in the south of Cork was, in the same age, inhabited by a people whom he called Vodiæ or Vodii, but who are unnoticed both by Sir James Ware and Dr. Charles O'Conor. The Coriondi, whose name still bears some affinity to the Irish appellation of this tract, were, according to Smith, the inhabitants of the middle and northern parts, particularly near the present city of Cork, and are said to have sprung from the Coritani, a British tribe occupying a tract in the eastern part of England. The ancient divisions of the country prior to the English settlements, were intricate, and at present can with difficulty be ascertained. The whole formed the southern and most important part of the petty kingdom of Cork or Desmond, which comprised also the western portion of the present county of Waterford, and all Kerry. Desmond, signifying "South Munster," was more properly the name of only the south-western part of the principality, which was divided into three portions, of which the whole of that called Ivelagh or Evaugh, including the country between Bantry and Baltimore, and also that called Bear, lying between Bantry and the Kenmare river, are included in the modern county of Cork. Bear still partly retains its ancient name, being divided into the baronies of Bear and Bantry; but Evaugh is included in the barony of West Carbery, which, with East Carbery, Kinalmeaky, and Ibawn or Ibane and Barryroe, anciently formed an extensive territory, deriving its name from its chieftain, Carbry Riada and in which are said to have been settled four of the eight families of royal extraction in Munster, the head of one of which was McCarty Reagh, sometimes styled prince of Carbery. Kerrycurrihy was anciently called Muskerry llane, and comprised also the barony of Imokilly, on the north side of Cork harbour: the only maritime territory remaining unnoticed, viz. Kinnalea, was formerly called Insovenagh. Besides Kerrycurrihy and Imokilly, the entire central part of the county, between the rivers Lee and Blackwater, formed a portion of the ancient territory of Muskerry, which name the western portion of it still retains. The north-western extremity of the county, forming the present barony of Duhallow, is in some old writings called Alla and Dubh Alla; and its chief, who, to a very late period, enjoyed almost regal authority, was sometimes styled prince of Duhallow. The remainder, to the north of the Blackwater, formed, before the English conquests, a principality of the O'Keefes, called Fearmuigh.

From Old School Nightmare to Bungalow Dream
With this dated home, our client was looking for a rebirth and regeneration of her kitchen, master bathroom, entertainment center, and fireplace. When we asked our designer Veronica Newton, who designed the entire project, what the owner didn't like about her home she said " It was dated and white thermofoil. She wanted to update it and make it her own space". As for what she wanted to change? 'Everything' was the response. Below you'll see what the home looked like before.
"Outdated" is the best way to describe this home and our designer Veronica was more than happy to take on this challenging job. As the process began the client decided she wanted to turn her drab home into her own warm and inviting bungalow paradise. The biggest decisions the client made were choosing a custom paint color for her cabinets (the part of the project that took the longest) and designing a custom hood that wouldn't completely overpower her kitchen. Veronica also helped her design a beautiful custom fireplace.
The end result is truly incredible!
This kitchen features Bishop Cabinetry, with raised panel custom "Bar Harbor" doors. The custom paint color is "Hepplewhite Ivory" with a chocolate glaze. This kitchen also features custom glass and 3CM Normandy granite countertops.
This unique entertainment center features Lyptus style, Dura Supreme Cabinetry. The craftsman doors were designed with custom Louvered inserts and a Chestnut stain, and custom matching wood tops.
This gorgeous master bathroom features Dura Supreme Cabinetry. These Maple, craftsman doors have custom Louvered inserts. The beautiful cabinet color is zinc with a shadow glaze. The countertops and tub deck are Cambria quartz in Praa Sands.
Our designer Veronica said the client is beyond satisfied with the end result. Her exact words were that it looked "…amazing and fabulous". Veronica said the process went very smoothly and she's also very happy with the new spaces. The transformation is truly incredible.
We've been working with this client for over two years now and still have continuing projects with her that we are just as excited about as these spaces. To see more of our work at Kitchen Innovations we recommend heading to our Houzz page by clicking here. You can even start an ideabook with us!

Artist's Statement
As a biologist and an artist, I am very interested in the constantly changing appearance of the world around us. I was born in England, and when I arrived in Canada was stunned by the magnificent blaze of red maples, yellow aspens and golden tamaracks in the fall and the interlacing shadows on sparkling snow in winter. The piercingly blue skies and clear light, which can be seen on sunny days throughout the winter as well as in the summer, are rarely seen in England. Tom Thomson's small panels, in which he interprets nature with vigorous and colourful brush-strokes, are my main inspiration for plein-air paintings
Portraits also fascinate me, and I was inspired by the stunning works of masters such as Whistler and Singer-Sargent to paint full-length portraits for my final NSCAD show in 2004. Since then I have been commissioned to do full-length portraits as well as smaller portraits.
Carol Morrison completed her BFA degree at NSCAD in 2005. Her interest in the world around her led to paintings of landscape, still life and portraits. Her work has been shown in numerous exhibitions in Nova Scotia, and in juried shows of the SCA and CIPA across Canada. Several of her paintings were bought by the Nova Scotia Art Bank, and are in private collections in Canada and abroad. Her paintings can be seen at the Swoon, Art Sales and Rental and ADJA galleries. She received the Elizabeth Greenshields award in 2005 and a Nova Scotia Creation Grant in 2008 for a project painting portraits of victims of injustice using information provided by Amnesty International. Her work can be seen at www.carolsfineart.ca.

Kuwait's Permanent Representative to the United Nations in Geneva Ambassador Jamal Al-Ghunaim during a meeting with ILO's Director General Guy Ryder
Kuwait is keen to support ILO's technical program: Amb. Al-Ghunaim
GENEVA-- Kuwait's Permanent Representative to the United Nations in Geneva Ambassador Jamal Al-Ghunaim assured Monday keenness of the State of Kuwait to support the technical cooperation program run by the International Labor Organization (ILO) in the Middle East.
Al-Ghunaim's statements came during a meeting with ILO's Director General Guy Ryder at the organization's headquarters in which both sides discussed issues of common interest.
Ambassador Al-Ghunaim noted that Kuwait's support comes as part of its efforts to help Palestinian people overcome the difficult economic conditions they suffer because of the Israeli occupation.
At the same time, Al-Ghunaim praised the role of ILO in adopting the Palestinian workers' crisis in its annual report, which will be reviewed periodically before the annual conference of the organization.
He explained that coordination between Kuwait and ILO is carried out smoothly and constructively through its regional office in Beirut, where mechanisms have been created to enhance this cooperation and serve the reputation of the State of Kuwait within the International Labor Organization.
During the meeting, Rider expressed his gratitude for the role of the State of Kuwait in humanitarian affairs, especially its hosting of a number of conferences related to supporting humanitarian operations in Syria, said Al-Ghunaim.
For his part, Ryder praised Kuwait's role in preparing for the upcoming conference for reconstructing liberated areas in Iraq from the grip of the so-called Islamic State or ISIL.
He expressed his interest in the participation of the ILO in this conference, to be hosted by Kuwait in mid-February, stressing that the role played by Kuwait has become a model for how to deal with humanitarian crises.
He noted that the efforts made by His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah AL-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, represent a ray of hope amidst all these crises, through his role in humanitarian work which is appreciated by all.

Former Liberian President
Charles Taylor
awaits the start
of the prosecution's
closing arguments
Reuters/Jerry Lampen
"He said he was upset and needed some rest," said court official Claire Carlton-Hanciles, who responded to the judge after it was noted Taylor was not present in the courtroom.
Taylor was described as an "intelligent, charismatic manipulator" by the prosecution, as they read through his indictment in court on Tuesday. This included 11 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in neighbouring Sierra Leone over a 10-year period. Some 120,000 people died during the civil war.
He "was in charge of, put in place, directed, nurtured and supported the campaign of terror," said prosecutor Brenda Hollis, all "to forcibly control the people and territory of Sierra Leone [...] and to pillage the resources, in particular the diamonds."
Hollis was referring to Revolutionary United Front (RUF) rebels who were paid in diamonds to fight a brutal war, which included rebels mutilating people and hacking off limbs of men, women and children.
Taylor's laywer Courtenay Griffiths had stormed out because the judge had refused to accept him filing a document 20 days after the deadline.
"There was an order made this morning that he remain in court," said the judge. "He has deliberately both blighted that order and absented himself voluntarily," she added, ordering the hearing to continue.
Griffiths was supposed to present the defence's closing arguments on Wednesday, but has said he would not do so "pending the decision of the appeals chamber" on the judges' refusal of his brief.

When people at school start forgetting things, Scott wonders if he's the only one who's noticed. He and some of the school's misfits seem to be the only ones who can see what's happening.
Is it the weather? Is it a virus? They must join forces to try and work out what is causing everyone in town to lose all sense of who they are.
The Blue Electric Wind is about why we remember what we do; it's about bravery and about growing up.
