Fall has just landed upon us. This is my favourite time of year. The air gets a chill, especially in the mornings and evenings, and leaves are changing into brilliant shades of yellows, oranges, and reds. And there is an abundance of holidays including, in our family, several birthdays, two Thanksgivings (I was born in the U.S., but live in Canada), Halloween, Hannukkah and Christmas (not only a duel national family, but also multi-faith) and to cap it off New Years. When we’ve celebrated all of the holiday and the reality of winter is upon us, many people take this time to set goals. It’s really kind of an arbitrary time to do it. Why not on your birthday own birthday or any other day of the year?
Regardless of when they set goals, the reality is that rarely do people follow through. One of the biggest issues is that we don’t focus on what we need to do to follow through. We set a bunch of random goals that we want to accomplish in the next year and then get frustrated because we don’t achieve them. The problem is that when people set them they often don’t take the next step in figuring out how to achieve them.
The following is what I’ve done and continue to do:
A couple of years ago a sudden illness knocked me out of commission for about three weeks. It gave me the opportunity and perspective on life to think about what really matters to me. From this I came up with a list of the important areas of my life:
- Take Care of Myself – if I’m not physically and mentally healthy I can’t accomplish any of my goals
- Love – this is about taking care of my relationship with my significant other, that person I want to share the good and the bad with for the rest of my life
- Parent – I believe in not just telling my daughter I’m here for her, but showing her that I am
- Family and Friends – there is strong evidence that people who have active social lives are healthier and happier
- Be a Leader for Change in Education – I want to work with others in making education more accessible, more enjoyable, and better at preparing students to solve the problems society is facing
- Make the World A Better Place – this is about contributing to my community, both locally and globally.
- Financial – I try to find the balance between being able to afford to do what I want in life and providing for our daughter without having to work so much that I don’t have time to enjoy everything else in life
While I have some long-term goals in each of these, most of my planning happens at a more short-term level. Every month I make at least one goal in each of these areas, keeping in mind any longer term goals I may have. Every week, I look at those monthly goals and set weekly goals for each area that will be a step toward those monthly goals. It’s easy to let six months go by without moving on a goal when we only set yearly goals.
If you set yearly goals, immediately set goals for the first month. Try to have at least one goal for each area that will help you move toward your yearly goal. These goals should move you forward, but not be exactly the same as your yearly goals. Once you’ve done that, immediately set your goals for the first week. Try to have at least one goal for each area that will be a step toward your monthly goal. This is going to help you to take action toward your yearly goals every single day, even if that’s just going for a walk or signing up for a gym membership toward that yearly goal of wanting to be fit and have lots of energy.
Start with those big yearly goals (you can even start bigger with maybe a 5-year plan), and then work your way toward the details so that you can take those concrete actions toward the big goals. If you already have yearly goals, start today with making monthly goals (you don’t have to wait for the start of a new month or new year to make goals).
Taking this approach, including establishing the important areas of my life and setting goals for shorter timeframes has helped me to make great strides toward what I want in life, lowered my stress levels, and made me feel like I have some actual balance in my life.

When Dennis Tom arrived to work at Clermont Senior Services on March 29th, he had a surprise waiting in the lobby. Dennis’ wife, Ellen, had arranged a special pinning ceremony to take place on National Vietnam War Veterans Day.
Dennis is a Meals on Wheels Driver for CSS. He enlisted in the United States Navy on September 21, 1965 and completed basic training at the Naval Training Center in Illinois. He served as an Aircraft Carrier Electronics Technician working on the automatic carrier landing system. Dennis served on the USS F.D. Roosevelt(CVA 42) while it supported freedom and peace in the Tonkin Gulf during the Vietnam War.
On June 22, 1971, Dennis received an honorable discharge from the USN. He then flew as a professional air carrier pilot and retired from the Federal Aviation Administration after serving 18 years as an Aviation Safety Inspector.
Shelby Duncan, a Legion Auxiliary member and Commemorative Partner, was on hand to present Tom with the commemorative lapel pin, a proclamation from the president, car decals and a congratulatory cake from Grace Hospice.
The United States of America Vietnam War Commemoration was authorized by Congress,m established under the secretary of defense, and launched by the President in May 2012. Through the dedicated efforts of their Commemorative partners, 7 million living Vietnam Veterans and families of the 9 million who served are being thanked and honored where they live and work by neighbors, family and friends. Each living veteran who served at any time on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces, regardless of location during the period of November 1, 1955 to May 15, 1975 is eligible to receive one Vietnam Veteran Lapel pin on behalf of a grateful nation.

With summer behind us and fall is almost here it’s time to give you an update on events in Gaza. The good news is that Sabah and her husband are home safely. Sabah who manages our programs was abroad since January. She is back to work, yet there is a lock down there due to many cases of the corona among the population. She and Wasel, our social worker, are working from their homes. The medical program where 40 to 45 people receive urgently needed medications continues. The pre-school are all closed, yet hopefully next month they will be able to open. The 170 very poor families who cannot pay the school fees for their children are again assured that Al Omri will cover this expense for them through December and maybe longer if needed. We have the funding to repair more homes. The first will be started in October if the materials are available in the market and people can circulate again. We hope to repair a second one before the winter rains begin in November.
Our team of two brothers and three sisters are hoping to get down for a visit there soon. Three of us are awaiting our coordination’s to enter when the border is open again. We have no idea when this will be. Thanks to cell phones we keep in contact with our two ladies, the parish priest and the sisters with whom we stay with when we are there.

Hello hello! I know it has been a while so apologies if I am a tad rusty, especially on my writing – i spend most of my time communicating with an almost two year old so we are on a one word conversational level around here. But I have been cooking a fair amount and so thought it was about time to get back on the ole bike.
Chloe is very into “dipping” these days so i have been making a lot of relatively plain things for her to then dip into a fun sauce or hummus (or ketchup if it has been a long week). For my own meal I will just remix these items into fajitas (if beans are involved) or a grain bowl with the dipping sauce as dressing. This week required some extra work because I somehow got 6lbs of chicken in my grocery delivery and with zero freezer space I have been remixing chicken all week, exhausting my usual suspects.
What I like about this recipe is that it uses leftover chicken and it is totally adjustable to how much you have on hand – add more chickpeas if you need to bulk it up or add none if you have chicken coming out your eyeballs like me. The grapes were an experiment and I really like the sweet juicy addition to such a toasty savory curry flavor. If you dont have grapes, soak some raisins and that should do the trick!
I am obsessed with za’atar and put it on and in everything i can – like eggs or bread dough. It is so good. I have a dry blend but you can also find an oil based mixture (ive seen this at whole foods). I can’t recommend it enough for your pantry but if you don’t have it, your croutons will still be delicious tossed in oil and some salt.
- 1 cup seedless grapes
- A few tbl olive oil
- 2 tsp za’atar*
- 1 piece day-old naan bread (about 3 ounces), torn into bite-size pieces
- 2 tsp curry powder
- 1 ½ cups shredded chicken
- 1 ½ cups cooked chickpeas (if canned, rinse and dry thoroughly)
- 1 ½ cups loosely packed spinach, roughly chopped or torn
For the vinaigrette
- 2-3 tbl lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Preheat oven to 450˚F. Toss grapes in a few tablespoons of olive oil, season with salt and spread out on a baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, until caramelized. While these cook, toast the croutons.
- If using a dry za’atar seasoning, mix the 2 tsp with 1-2 tbl olive oil, if using the oil za’atar mixture give it a stir. Toss torn naan with the za’atar oil blend and spread out on a baking sheet. Bake 5 minutes or until the edges start to brown.
- To make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice with a few pinches of salt and pepper. While whisking, drizzle in the olive oil and keep whisking until emulsified. Adjust the seasoning and acidity to taste.
- In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat add 3 tablespoons vinaigrette and the curry powder, stirring to dissolve. Add the chicken and chickpeas to the pan. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often, or until the chicken and chickpeas are warmed through; turn down the heat if the curry powder starts to burn. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and toss with spinach, grapes and croutons. Serve warm.

What players eat and drink prior to a high intensity hockey game may have a direct effect on their performance particularly in the game. Insufficient fuelling of the muscles means they won’t fire as quickly, and players will slow down and lose power. Insufficient fluid and electrolytes may cause a player to cramp. And when the brain doesn’t get the nutrients it needs, a player’s ability to process what’s happening on the field diminishes, while also slowing their movements. Not only will the player not make the desired playing decision, but a slower moving player is at a higher risk for injury.
To be prepared players should be taking primary nutrients, i.e., carbohydrates, fluids, and electrolytes. However each player’s rate of utilization differs, and is dependent on many factors including, but not limited to, the geographical location of the game, time of day the game is played, and the player’s position. Therefore, a trial and error approach to when prior to a game and what choice of fuelling you best require will need to be made
There are several ways that hockey players can make the necessary replacements. Fluid consumption alone will be sufficient for some, while others may benefit from also taking in a supplement and/or whole foods.
Fluids are one of the most important aspects of pre-game nutrition. Just a two-percent decrease in optimum hydration levels can negatively affect a player’s speed, endurance, and agility. As hydration levels continue to drop, the player’s ability to generate power will suffer as well.
Water used to be the only choice for hydration during exercise, but sports drinks have risen to the challenge and do an even better job of rehydrating athletes. The addition of carbohydrates, sodium, potassium, and sometimes protein and other electrolytes gives sports drinks a greater osmolality–the measure of solute concentration–than water. This means the body will be able to pull in and store more fluid. Another proven form of water that hydrates effectively is taking hydrogen water, or even alkaline water.
It is commonly known that sodium “holds” fluid well, but carbohydrates have the same ability. For each approximate gram of carbohydrate stored, three grams of water are also stored.
Sports drinks are a good option for replacing electrolytes, too. Those of greatest concern are sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. These electrolytes are lost through sweat, and less than optimal levels impact the body’s temperature regulation, muscle contraction, and fluid balance
Supplements like sports bars, gels, beans, and shakes are some of the quickest and easiest pre-game refuelling options. The main drawback to supplements is that they are more expensive than whole foods.
Whole foods are the third way to fuel at the break. Fruit is a great option. For example, fruits like bananas and orange slices replace carbohydrates, some fluid, and potassium–three major nutrients utilized during exercise. Eating a banana is as effective as sipping a comparable amount of sports drink in terms of sustaining exercise performance.
Fig Bars have a good amount of sodium and potassium electrolytes – that help keep the muscles firing properly and help maintain hydration.
Though the coaches are plenty busy pre-game and don’t have time to harp on their players to make sure they’re taking in fluids and a little food, it’s still important that they understand why pre-game nutrition is paramount and that the team has a clear strategy about refuelling. It could be the role of team management to ensure this strategy is implemented.

We celebrated this guy tonight.
He turned 5.
What is it about 5? It’s a tough one, a turning point. Not that Luke isn’t already ahead of the game. He’s so bright and ambitious. He’s already started reading and tries to spell everything.
“Mom, do you spell truck C-H-R-U-K?”
I can hardly stand to say no.
His personality, the good, the bad and the hilarious…is always keeping us on his toes.
He chose Macaroni and Cheese and Donuts for birthday dinner.
Of course we had to have some homemade gluten free donuts too…and big cats are always welcome at Luke’s party.
You can do it!
After sugaring up we wheeled out his new bike
It was a good night.
We love you so much buddy.

Producer Notes on “Lost Gospel”: There are times in my job when I feel like the luckiest person in the world. That’s how I’ve felt while producing our World Report’s story on Lost Gospel. Music scholars estimate as much as 75% of Black Gospel was destroyed during its most influential time: from around 1945-1970. A Baylor professor has made it his life’s work to digitize all that he can find. Every day, people who hear about his mission are finding boxes of old albums in their parents’ attics and back rooms and sending it to him. To illustrate the importance and rich sound of traditional Black Gospel, we traveled to Birmingham, Alabama. Last Saturday, we interviewed several people who walked the walk and sung the song: a renowned deejay activist and two gospel greats. One of those singers is Cleo Kennedy. She was arrested three times for protesting in Birmingham. She used to warm up the crowd with her operatic voice before Martin Luther King’s speeches. She’s sung gospel with Ray Charles and rock and roll with Bruce Springsteen. She’s sung in jail. And she sung to us in her living room.
Roscoe “Scoe” Robinson met us at historical Kelly Ingram Park in a cobalt blue suit and matching hat. He was one of the original Blind Boys of Mississippi and later joined the Blind Boys of Alabama. At 82 years old, he drove himself to the interview and sat on a concrete wall telling us about the days on tour when he couldn’t walk through the front door of a restaurant.
Later, our jaws dropped as Scoe and the great deejay Shelley “the Playboy” Stewart, sang “Amazing Grace” as they walked down the concrete path of a park which was the scene of many a civil rights march. Across the street sat the 16th Street Baptist Church, where four little girls were killed when a bomb set by the KKK went off during Sunday school. The next day, we visited the 17th Street Macedonia Baptist Church where we were treated to two hours of live gospel music. This was the real thing, and photographer Jim Van Vranken didn’t miss a beat, running the length of the building to get footage of the choir, heads thrown back in song. Sound man Kevin Sanchez had the audio covered as he monitored every note from the rafters of the church. We wrapped up our trip in San Antonio, Texas, where professor Robert Darden explained to us why he started the Black Gospel Restoration Project seven years ago. After what we saw in Birmingham, it didn’t take too much to convince us he’s doing important work.

Dr. Francis Ng'atigwa
This PHD project was published and is available online:
This study investigates on the one hand the broadcasting activities of Radio Maria Tanzania (owned by a Christian organisation) and Radio Imaan (owned by a Muslim community) while on the other hand identifying the meanings which audiences construct in relation to national cohesion in Tanzania. Specifically, the study answers five theoretical and empirical questions: (1) What informs the packaging of the programmes of Radio Maria Tanzania and Radio Imaan? (2) What are the contents of programmes broadcasted by the two radio stations? (3) How do the two radio stations deal with the socio-religious discourse prevailing in Tanzania? (4) What kinds of meanings do audiences construct from the broadcasting activities of Radio Maria Tanzania and Radio Imaan? (5) What are the implications of the constructed meanings on national cohesion in Tanzania? Data were generated through questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, qualitative content analysis, discourse analysis and participation in listening to programmes of the two radio stations. Five central conclusions have emerged. Firstly, the two radio stations serve their audiences in spiritual and material needs.This approach informs the packaging of programmes. Secondly, there is an exclusive element in the contents of the programmes of the two radio stations. Thirdly, the framing of issues in some programmes of the two radio stations provoke audiences and cause socio-religious tensions and mistrust among audiences in Tanzania. Fourthly, discourses on "mfumokristo"(Kiswahili: Christian hegemony), "kipindi cha mateso ya kimfumo kwa kanisa Tanzania" (Kiswahili: Systematic persecution of the Church in Tanzania) and "udini" (Kiswahili: religionism) have amplified and become interpretative and expressive tools in the public domain. Finally, while at an individual level Christians and Muslims maintain friendly relations however at a community level there are incidents which destabilize national cohesion.

So what’s so bad about being so good? Ever since she burst onto the jazz scene nearly a decade ago, pianist Hiromi Uhera has experienced from what I will call the Oscar Peterson curse—criticism for her unashamed displays of technical virtuosity. Peterson in fact was an early supporter, as were Ahmad Jamal and Chick Corea. Three of the greatest jazz pianists to walk the earth saw what most critics and audiences are now able to recognize—beneath her razzle-dazzle physical skill and exuberant joie de vivre, Hiromi is also a creative artist. If she can run up and down the keyboard with Tatumesque speed and flip from mood to mood, rhythm to rhythm with Jamalish sleight of hand, she can also wring sincere emotion from every note and reinvent the most overplayed standard or classical theme. And her original compositions now rival the works of Corea, Jarrett and Tyner in their powerful imagery and insistent melodies.
Hiromi recently came to one of her favorite venues, the Dakota Jazz Club, celebrating her 33rd birthday with an assertive, playful, wide-ranging show where the exhibition of technical overkill came, not from Hiromi, but from her drummer Simon Phillips. There was a reported 900+ pounds of percussion gear on stage, swallowing up Phillips as he sat with two bass drums north and another south, with multiple floor toms, snares, and cymbals thickly amassed as if a musical moat separating the drummer from the real world. His attack was surprisingly sane and supportive, but one would think he could accomplish just as much with a standard four-drum kit. Why so much firepower for a trio playing relatively small venue? What would be the gear load for a stadium show?
Compared to Hiromi and Phillips, bassist Anthony Jackson was the straight man, his electric bass sympathetic throughout as he filled the space, in more ways than one, between piano and drums. Of her ensembles of the past decade—her early trio with Berklee pals Tony Grey and Martin Villahora and her quartet SonicBloom adding Dave Fiuczynski, her current Trio Project is the most savvy and most jazz-directed; despite his background in rock and accompanying arsenal, Phillips, along with Jackson, seems to push Hiromi in all the right directions to allow her virtuosity room to breathe, to serve the creative intent of her music rather than to simply amaze.
Still, she is amazing.

I’m Mara Levy, MSOT, OTR/L, CDRS and I like to talk about sex.
Sexuality is an essential part of being human, but far too many healthcare practitioners are failing to talk about sexuality with their clients. I want to see every healthcare provider have the tools they need to include sexuality in their treatment, and I believe everyone – of all levels of ability, sizes, genders, and orientations – can express their sexuality in safe and fulfilling ways. I will keep talking until I see it happen.
I’m available for presentations or workshops on issues relating to sexuality, disability, and wellness in the greater DC and Baltimore area; travel to other regions is also negotiable. I’ve spoken at conferences, support groups, medical grand rounds, and other community organizations. To bring me to your group with a talk customized to meet your needs, contact me at [email protected].

Most of my days are the same these days, or at least out of my control in many ways. When there is school the kids do that, when there is not school the kids usually do me. Well yesterday was the first day of spring break in 10-15 years that may mean going to the ocean beach for sun and fun, but they can’t drive or fly by themselves yet so thats not an option presented to them yet. They have friends who missed the Thursday an Friday last week to “voyage” but they haven;t figured out of horribly we are depriving them of that yet. So a friend of ours offered to treat them to a day at the amusement part. Him and 5 kids 8-4 years old. I was requested to go along as support. This my normal roll. Stay out of trouble and toss out one liners when necessary. The kids loved it, just telling them they can leave the yard is a big deal, I guess thats why they love school so much… We don’t have TV, never had cable. Even in France we only had the basic broadcast stations. Its not so much about control as it is limiting evil programing. I mean commercials and sassy kids. Anyways they get to watch plenty of empty programing on the Internet. So its kind of like spring break, its out there but its not day, so what should we play.
Anyways they loved the adventure, I won’t bore you with details, big smiles, screams of joy, frowns while waiting in line. I love my kids, we made memories. When they are not with me I can cry just thinking about how lucky I am, when they are with me I feel it too and we do like each other. There really is no other way to talk about my day and make it exciting or interesting. Yes we go places and do stuff, we have been to Paris, San Francisco, Chuck cheese and Beijing, but it really is the warmth we share and the drama that erupts between us from time to time that makes time freeze or leap ahead without any connection to normal reality. Not that normal reality is bad, its just hard for me to spend time there. I guess for the kids that would be school, in class while the teacher is talking to be precise. For me it used to be what the National evening news talked about. I guess somewhere around the OJ trial that all went sour. Watching attorneys on both sides not asking the simple questions and making ridiculous speeches. Followed by unknown experts asking even more crazy questions while never asking the simple ones. As I said we don’t have TV, but its everywhere but our house, so we see it and we know the direction and distance it has traveled since then.
Anyways, a great day out was followed by frozen pizza at our house and 3 hours playing in the yard until it was so dark and cold that even Eskimos would have come in. The kids will no doubt claim that the roller coaster or the log chute was the high light of the day. But the 3 hours running around on the grass playing “tag” was the longest period of continuous laughter and smiling they had. I liked the roller coaster.

Ronaldo has long been rated as one of the finest footballers in the world and made a surprise move to Juventus in the summer, ending nine memorable years with Real Madrid.
Chiellini revealed he has observed things in Ronaldo's game that have helped him in his new role as Juventus captain and put the Portuguese in the same bracket as the two sporting icons, per La Stampa (h/t Football Italia):
"Replacing Gigi [Buffon] isn't easy at all. As captain you don't have to do other people's jobs. You have to maintain balance, and in a multicultural dressing room with different backgrounds, habits and religions it's not always easy. But sharing them is beautiful.
"Ronaldo? You become a leader. I'm a curious person, I'm a good observer and I like to learn. Having Ronaldo near me, for example, is interesting. He's like Bolt and Federer: knowing the habits of those who have an extra gear helps. It's not to imitate him but rather to broaden my horizons."
Chiellini took over the position of Juve skipper after Gianluigi Buffon departed for Paris Saint-Germain in the summer and will be hopeful of extending the team's domestic dominance in the coming seasons.
With Ronaldo now at the point of the attack, the Italian champions will also be hoping they can extend that success into European competition. The forward, after all, tended to save his best for the UEFA Champions League with Real Madrid, winning the title four times in total with the capital club.
Per BT Sport Football, the Juventus No. 7 has also outlined his desire to see Juventus, who only have two European Cups to their name, succeed in the competition:
The Champions League Twitter account provided the figures behind Ronaldo's incredible success in the tournament:
UEFA Champions League @ChampionsLeague
ℹ️ Cristiano Ronaldo = #UCL legend ✔️ 🏆 Most final wins in history: 5 ⚽️ All-time competition top scorer: 121 🔥 Most goals in a single season: 17 🥇 Only player to score in 3 finals 😮 Only player to score in 11 straight games 🎂 @Cristiano 🎂 https://t.co/yniPGMyaoe
It's that ability to find his best in the big moments that means the comparisons with Bolt and Federer—arguably the greatest ever in their respective fields—aren't too outlandish from Chiellini.
Bolt retired from athletics in 2017 having left an incredible legacy in the sprint events. He remains the holder of the world record in the 100-metre and 200-metre distances, and is an eight-time Olympic gold medalist.
Federer remains one of the finest tennis players in the world at the age of 37 and has 20 Grand Slam titles to his name. In the past Ronaldo was compared to a different tennis player by another Italy international:
Juventus appear destined for success in Serie A again, while they will continue their pursuit of Champions League glory against Atletico Madrid on February 20.
If Ronaldo was able to join Clarence Seedorf as the only man to win the competition with three different clubs, it would only add further clout to his claim to be considered as one of the finest footballers to play the game.

AUDIO: Rick Ross & Wale – “Royals (Remix)”
If you haven’t heard Lorde’ “Royals” by now, how are you on a music blog? It’s everywhere. Maybach Music thought it was finally time for Wale and Rick Ross to get on the beat, sort of. Ross’ verse is over the original, and Wale takes it to a different level by, well, changing the whole beat up. He also shouts out Animaniacs Wacko and Dot, and then an uncredited reggae verse closes it out. What do you think of this?

Get to Understand More Concerning Sales Forecasting
A business is successful when it makes a lot of profit in a given financial year and this is greatly influenced by the amount of sales. A business that has lower sales would always get smaller profits. Since sales are sensitive sector of a business, sales forecasting is necessary for the success of a business. Many dealerships would forecast their sales by determining the amount of the profits they would get in future ones the sales that are still in order are completed.
Sales forecasting plays a major role in ensuring that as a dealership you give an insight on the profit margins so that you get to manage your business more efficiently. The success of a business would be contributed by the sales forecasting through various ways.
Sales forecasting is a representation of the future and hence it helps the business to come up with plans that would guide it in achieving the profits predicted. Knowing that with a certain amount of sales would bring in a certain amount of profits helps you to create a sales plan to achieve this as a manger. Problems related with the forecasted sales can be prevented with sales forecasting making it easier to achieve the sales and profits.
Sales forecasting would help you as a business to allocate funds appropriately and proper allocation of budget in a business indicates proper management and hence success of the business. Many businesses always fail due to overspending and hence sales forecasting would help you on the decisions on whether to spend or save. You would not want to have little or excess stock and hence you have less purchases and instead of purchasing you use the amount to invest in another area.
To assess your sales performance more efficiently, you would need a sales forecast report. Sales forecasting would give the manager an idea on how to deal with the sales persons who are not raising the minimum amount of sales planned in order to achieve the predicted sales. When such employees are examined and summoned, it would lead to increase in the amount of sales since they would be forced to perform better.
Goals or targets are important for any kind of a business since it would always motivate the workers to work extra hard and perform better towards achieving those goals. Creation of attainable goals in a business would bring about competition and hence success of the business. In coming up with a sales forecast report, you are able to record the amount of the successful sales whose transactions has been made and the sales margin that is require so as to achieve the forecasted sales and profits.

Things To Do In Llangollen
The gorgeous town of Llangollen is the first many visitors see of Wales. And what an introduction. Llangollen is at the heart of the scenic Dee Valley, surrounded by dramatic Welsh mountains. There’s even the obligatory Welsh castle on top of one of them, overlooking the town.
There are so many great things to do in Llangollen and the surrounding area. It’s in the middle of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley) and there are some great outdoor Llangollen activities. These range from gentle Llangollen Canal boat trips to kayaking the rapids of the River Dee. There are also some historic Llangollen attractions in and around the town. Oh yes, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site four miles (6 km) down the valley.
I’ve loved Llangollen since the day I set foot there, and think it’s right up there with the best places to visit in Wales. It’s a great base for a few days’ stay in North Wales, with the peaks of the Snowdonia National Park an hour away to the west. We hope you enjoy our guide to what to do in Llangollen.
Where Is llangollen ?
Llangollen is in the north-east of Wales in the United Kingdom. It’s set in the beautiful Dee Valley, about seven miles (12 km) from the English border. The nearest English city is Chester, 24 miles (39 km) away. It’s also ten miles (16 km) from the town of Wrexham.
Getting To LLangollen
Llangollen is on the main A5 London to Holyhead road. If you’re approaching by car from the English Midlands or anywhere south of there, you’ll almost certainly travel along this road.
If you’re approaching from Liverpool, Manchester, Chester or the north of England the A539 which runs along the opposite (north) side of the Dee Valley may be a better option.
Llangollen isn’t on the national rail network, so if you’re relying on public transport, you’ll need to get a train to Wrexham General and walk to the nearby bus station from there. The number 5 service runs every half hour except Sundays, when it runs every two hours.
There is also a long-distance bus, the T3 Traws Cambria route, which runs from Barmouth via Dolgellau, Bala and Corwen.
Llangollen’s history goes back to at least the 6th century AD, when St Collen, a Celtic monk, founded a church there. The church in the town still bears his name.
In medieval times it was part of the Welsh kingdom of Powys, and its princes built a castle, Dinas Bran, in the 13th century.
The town is probably best known worldwide as the home of the Llangollen Eisteddfod. It started in 1947 and has been held in the second week of July ever since.
Our Favourite Things To Do In LLangollen
PLAS NEWYDD, LLANGOLLEN
Plas Newydd (Welsh for ‘new mansion’ or ‘new hall’ is a wonderful historic house just outside Llangollen town centre.
It’s best known as the home of two Irish women, Lady Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby, the ‘Ladies of Llangollen’. They eloped together, eventually settling in North Wales. They both wanted to avoid unwanted marriage, and their relationship has aroused great debate. Were they lovers? Or was this a ‘romantic friendship’? Their diaries possibly suggest the latter.
Their lifestyle choice was disapproved of by many in convention-bound 18th century society. However, in time they became more widely accepted, and received visits from the likes of lord Byron, Shelley, William Wordsworth, Sir Walter Scott and the Duke of Wellington.
They took over a cottage and gradually enlarged and modified it: the intricate wood-carved interior was their doing. The black and white exterior was the responsibility of a subsequent owner.
Plas Newydd is now a local museum with a focus on the Ladies and their life. It’s set in lovely gardens; go back far enough and you’ll see the romantic ruin of Dinas Bran Castle on the hill behind.
Castell Dinas Bran
This ruined Llangollen castle is now a romantic hilltop ruin, and it’s hard to imagine it in its heyday. It sits on the top of a steep conical hill 30-40 minutes’ walk above the town. Alternatively, you can drive up the single-track road from the town and walk the last few minutes to the summit.
In spite of its ruined and plundered state, it’s a very prominent landmark which dominates views of the Dee Valley from the east. The climb to the top of the hill is one of the best Llangollen things to do, and the views form the remains of the castle are sublime.
The castle dates back to the 13th century, partly occupying the site of an Iron Age hillfort. This would have predated the castle by 1,500 years or more.
It was probably built in the 1260s by Gruffydd II ap Madog,a prince of the kingdom of Powys Fadog. It’s believed that it was abandoned around 1277 in the face of the threat of capture by English forces. It was partly burned by the Welsh occupiers, and it may never have been used for military purposes again. It has therefore been a romantic ruin for most of its existence.
Valle Crucis Abbey
Llangollen is home to more historic North Wales points of interest, with another romantic ruin just below Dinas Bran.
Valle Crucis Abbey is a ruined church and abbey complex just to the north of Llangollen town. It was founded in 1201, and was the last Cistercian monastery in Wales. Its name – the Vale of the Cross – comes from nearby 9th century Eliseg’s Pillar, which once supported a stone cross.
It fell into disrepair after the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1537.
If you’re driving, it’s off the A542 Horseshoe Pass road to Ruthin, on the right, a mile or so out of Llangollen.
Velvet Hill Walk
One of the best walks around Llangollen starts from Valle Crucis car park. Velvet hill, or Coed Hyrddyn, is the steep hill across the A542 from the Abbey. It’s a steep straight climb up the hill, which leads to a wonderful ridge walk with outstanding panoramic views, especially across to Llantysilio Mountain and the Dee Valley.
The fine 14th century stone arched Llangollen Bridge is one of the traditional Seven Wonders of Wales. It’s a venerable, sturdy old bridge, crossing the Dee at one of its most turbulent locations. The river rapids are a hugely impressive sight, especially if the river is in full spate after rainfall.
The Llangollen Steam Railway is a wonderful heritage attraction. It’s a great nostalgia trip for railway enthusiasts, and one of the best things to do in North Wales with kids.
Unusually for North wales, the trains run on standard gauge tracks – the others all operate on narrow gauge railways. There’s a great view of the station from the parapet of Llangollen Bridge, with passengers boarding steam trains.
The railway uses part of the discontinued Ruabon to Barmouth line, running ten miles (16 km) up the scenic Dee Valley from Llangollen to the town of Corwen, stopping at three stations en route. Carrog station has a lovely station café. And if you want to get the best shot of the steam trains, it’s from just outside Berwyn station, the first stop if you’re departing from Llangollen.
Variable timetables operate through the year, with reduced services over the winter months. One of the most popular services is the Llangollen Santa train, which runs in December.
Llangollen Canal trips are another way to enjoy the glorious North Wales countryside. It was part of the 18th century Ellesmere Canal, and later became part of the Shropshire Union Canal in 1846.
The Canal was used extensively until World War I, but fell into decline afterwards. Closure was considered at one point, but it was kept open because it could still be used as a means of water supply. This was collected from the pool formed by the weir at Horseshoe Falls, two miles (3km) to the west of Llangollen Wharf.
The Canal was partly built by Thomas Telford, the master civil engineer known as the ‘Colossus of Roads’. He was also responsible for the A5 which passes along the southern side of the Dee Valley and on to Holyhead. We’ll be returning to him in the following section.
Llangollen boat trips start from the Wharf to the north of the town. Cross Llangollen Bridge and then the A539 road and you’re there. Some of the Llangollen canal boats are exquisitely made, with some wonderfully ornate decorations.
One of the best ways to see the Canal is on one of the Llangollen horse drawn boats. You’re pulled along at a sedate 4 miles (6 km) per hour, the maximum speed limit on the water.
Otherwise, the Llangollen Canal Walk is also a delight.
The Llangollen Canal was the third site in Wales to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The focal point of the site is Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, which carries the Canal across the Dee Valley.
Pontcysyllte means ‘bridge of Cysyllte’, an old township in the Llangollen area. It coincidentally translates as ‘connecting bridge’, and that’s it exactly what it does, joining two sections of canal across the valley from each other. It’s over 300 metres long, and stands 38 metres (126 feet) above the valley.
It was the work of Thomas Telford, and is a remarkable feat of engineering. It’s built from stone and a trough of cast iron, and was completed in 1805.
It’s always open, and an amazing experience. You can enjoy it on Pontcysyllte Aqueduct boat trips departing from the wharf at Trevor, on the northern side. If you don’t have a head for heights, stay on the towpath side of the boat. There’s a sheer drop on the other side. There’s always the option of Llangollen Canal boat hire, and you can navigate a boat across the famous Llangollen aqueduct yourself.
If you prefer to keep your feet on terra firma you can do the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct walk instead. The railing is well over a metre high.
The car park, facilities and most of the interpretation boards are on the Trevor side. The Telford Inn does good pub meals, and the Pontcysyllte Tea Room is across the road from there. However, you can also make your way across from Froncysyllte, on the southern side.
Offa’s Dyke Path
Offa’s Dyke is an 8th century earthwork marking the western border of the English kingdom of Mercia. The Offa’s Dyke National Trail is a long-distance footpath following its route from Chepstow in South Wales to Prestatyn on the North Wales coast.
One of the best sections of the walk – and indeed, one of the best walks in Wales – is the stretch above Llangollen. It climbs above Dinas Bran and along Trevor Rocks, the escarpment with awe-inspiring views west across the countryside. It continues past a lookout at World’s End, down to Llandegla before climbing to the Clwydian Range, a wonderful string of mountains and hillforts overlooking the Vale of Clwyd and its main town, Ruthin.
Onwards To Snowdonia
Getting to Snowdonia from Llangollen is straightforward. The A5 continues to Betws-y-Coed, the unofficial gateway to Snowdonia. Betws is around an hour’s drive from Llangollen. Most of the Snowdonia mountains are around half an hour beyond Betws-y-Coed.
There are some excellent hotels in Llangollen and around, and as a frequent visitor to the area I’ve stayed in several.
One of the better places to stay in Llangollen is the Bryn Howel Hotel. It’s out in the countryside 3 miles (5km) from the town. It’s a 3-star hotel with a mixture of luxury and modern standard rooms. The setting is perfect, in extensive grounds overlooking the Canal and valley.
The Wild Pheasant Hotel is another great choice, a 19th century building with a contemporary luxury spa. Its location is very good, on Berwyn Road a short walk from the town centre.
I also strongly recommend Gales of Llangollen. They started out as a wine bar in the 1970s, and gone from a wine bar with a few rooms to a wine bar with a few rooms and nearby cottages as well. I’ve only stayed in the rooms in the Georgian townhouse, which are beautifully furnished and decorated. The location couldn’t be more central, very close to the Bridge and river.
The best Llangollen B&B I’ve stayed in is Hillcrest Guest House. The rooms are very comfortable, as is the lounge area, and the breakfast of a very high standard.
The Corn Mill (Y Felin Ŷd in Welsh) is located right above the swirling rapids of the River Dee. It has a varied gastropub-style menu and the food has always been very good. I keep saying things about the settings of places in Llangollen, but each one is true. You can dine in the old 18th century building or in the glass conservatory overlooking the river. You can also enjoy a drink on the open air terrace above the rapids, but don’t go out there for an intimate conversation, as you will almost certainly not be able to hear a single word.

|Date||Thursday 24 April 2014|
|Distance stage||34,0 km|
|Distance acum.||2858,5 km|
|Quality of signs||very good|
|Quality of the hike||B (very good): hills, fields|
After a huge breakfast I start at 06.45 with my stage to Cisna. The weather forecast was not good (rain showers) but the sky is only partly clouded.
The path leaves the road to the village of Duszatyn for a shortcut. Unfortunately there is a lot of yellow clay in this section, which makes me pessimistic for the rest of today’s stage. Just before the village of Preluki the path joins the road again, and follows it to Duszatyn, which appears to contain some 5 houses only. The signs go east, into a narrow valley along the creek. The forrest road is comfortable for some kilometers, and then continues as a hiking path. Some bad sections with mud and clay are covered with boards, which make a safe and clean passage possible. The path circles around the first lake without problems.
A few minutes later it also goes around the second lake. Here there are a few creeks that need to be crossed: steep steps to go down to the creek, cross the creek on stones or branches and climb up a few steep steps again. Consequently the path goes up the hill to the peak of the Chryszczata. It is well to do, with only one really steep section at 2/3 of the climb. I take a break at the top, where a picknick bench is situated next to some monument. From here the path goes south (easy) between trees (boring). The pass Zebrak is reached easily, without any descent. Consequently the hill Jaworne needs to be climbed. The ascent is filled with short sections of descending, which makes it quite anoying. South of the top of the Jaworne, before the black signs go left, there is an open spot in the trees on the lefthand side and I can enjoy the view to the northeast for the first time. While being there I see a hurdle of buffaloos, only 100 meters lower on the hill, grazing peacefully.
After enjoying the sight for a few minutes I continue my way. During the rest of the path to the hill Osina I am busy with going through short sections of ascending and descending. From the Osina onwards the general focus is on descending. The path enters Cisna near a small grocery shop.
My First choice for B&B happens to be situated next door to the grocery shop, so it is the ideal place to stay. There is a big kitchen that I can use to prepare my dinner, and wash my clothes.

Today’s guest post comes from Steven J. Peach, who will graduate in May 2016 with a Ph.D. in U.S. history from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. (Congrats, Steven!) His research examines Creek Indian politics, diplomacy, and power in early America. This is his first guest post for The Junto.
In 2015, Gordon Wood charged the William and Mary Quarterly with no longer publishing scholarship fixed “exclusively” on the “origins” of the United States. Restricting early America’s geography to the modern limits of the U.S., he argued that articles like that on sixteenth-century Castile make the “boundaries” of early America “mushy.” Not so fast, responded Joshua Piker, the Quarterly’s editor. A few months ago, he refuted Wood by saying that the Quarterly never focused solely on U.S. origins. (Piker’s refutation is dazzling; if you have not read it, you should!) Piker went on to say that early Americanists must abandon any “misleading coherence or … artificial simplicity” to define the field. Instead, they ought to “get lost” in the “vastness” of early America—or Karin Wulf’s #VastEarlyAmerica. What spaces did early America encompass, then, and how can the field begin to sketch them? Native American history offers a path forward.
As global peoples, Indians bring a vast early America into sharp relief. They traveled across the Atlantic as diplomats, celebrities, and captives. They shaped world capitalism as traders, producers, and consumers. And they served empires (and their own agendas) as scouts and warriors. Many, too, were enslaved, laboring in New England households and on Caribbean sugar plantations. In short, Indians suffused early America, with the result that European colonists often reacted and adapted to indigenous agency.
Several works situate Indians within at least four conceptual spaces to tell early America’s global story. Put on your analytical lenses to see the field.
First, zoom in. American Indians inhabited local worlds, cross-cut by villages, towns, clans, and other local markers of meaning. In Okfuskee (2004), for instance, Piker argued that early America was a place of Native “communities.” Clan and town affiliations mattered more than colonizers’ terms, such as “Creek.” Piker’s focus on one Creek town, Okfuskee, complicates terms like Creek or Shawnee or Iroquois, which obscure the “polyvocality and diversity beneath each tribal aegis.” Other works privilege Native localities, such as Natale Zappia’s Trades and Raiders (2014), which probes the “interior world” of the indigenous Colorado basin.
However, some argue that the narratives woven from local spaces fractionate Native history. According to Pekka Hämäläinen, early Americanists must assemble the parts into a whole, joining “local and regional tales into larger American stories that transcend places, boundaries, and periods.” By zooming out, the North American continent comes into view. Aside from forging interconnected stories, a continental framework exposes new chronologies and, as Peter Wood remarks, unearths the “deep and diverse Native American presence.” Echoing Wood (and others), Juliana Barr calls upon historians to move the story of early America away from the “Atlantic origin myth” and towards the “Red Continent.” For Barr, Atlanticists prize a core-periphery model that marginalizes an indigenous “continental interior.”
The continentalists mount a challenge to a third conceptual space: the Atlantic World. But like them, the Atlanticists thread multiple histories into a tapestry. Jace Weaver’s Red Atlantic tracks the ways in which “Native resources, ideas, and peoples” shaped “cultural exchange” in the Atlantic basin. Indigenous slavery was central to that exchange. In the 1600s and early 1700s, Native headmen provided the French with enemy Indian captives. French slaveholders put them to work in the Saint Lawrence valley and on Caribbean sugar plantations, with the result that Indian slavery ignited trans-Atlantic conversations on race and African slavery. Indians also used the Atlantic for their own ends. In 1734, a Creek named Tomochichi visited London, forged ties with the Crown, and used that alliance to enhance his power after returning home. Immersed in global contours, Indians belonged to both continental and oceanic worlds.
Many Native Americanists in #VastEarlyAmerica have adjusted their lenses latitudinally to envision a hemispheric history, a fourth conceptual space. It harks back to Berkeley’s Latin Americanist, Herbert Eugene Bolton. In 1920, he taught “Greater America” by tracking the Western Hemisphere’s shared history of colonization, nationalism, and independence movements. Acknowledging Bolton and especially David Weber, Juliana Barr and Edward Countryman spearheaded Contested Spaces (2014). This edited collection tracks the “parallel histories” of Europeans and Indians across the Americas, showing how “Indian spaces” conditioned and limited settler societies.
These conceptual spaces mutually reinforce one another. Although, for instance, Zappia’s “interior world” is a local/regional concept, he shows that the indigenous Colorado basin folded into a network of continental exchange. Likewise, Weaver’s Red Atlantic reached well into the Red Continent, where the indigenous-controlled mechanisms by which the French gain Indian slaves originated. Lastly, Piker’s community study retrieves Okfuskee’s wider connections to early America and the Atlantic World. For him, Native and American histories are not mutually exclusive.
But tension lurks. The Red Continent risks swallowing local histories into a neat, reductive east-to-west tale. Do Hämäläinen’s “American stories” belong to North, Central, and South America? Or are they unintended code for U.S. nationalist history? Are Barr’s and Zappia’s notion of an interior world truly Indian-centric, or is “interior” a peskily recurring nod to cores and peripheries? The attempt by Contested Spaces to highlight “Indian cores” is also lodged in the core-periphery model. This issue is not semantic but conceptual. The “challenge” of creating indigenous-centered histories, the late Andrew Cayton observed, “has to do with history, not vocabulary.”
Agreed. So how can the field move forward? The four conceptual approaches outlined above help us glean early America on a vast scale. The local focus is an especially productive method. Indians’ political, diplomatic, kinship, spiritual, and cartographic traditions all sprang from local frames of reference. Identifying with a certain town (or city) and a family/clan, Indians felt the greatest pressures of colonization on the ground. Barr and Countryman admit that colonization, while unfolding on a hemispheric scale, “reflected locally driven systems.” It’s not that early America’s indigenous populations were parochial, but that their experiences began within a nexus of specific peoples, places, and traditions. The Okfuskees’ history began in, well, Okfuskee; Tomochichi’s in Yamacraw (his town). By working from the ground up, from local to global histories, #VastEarlyAmerica will come into view. Get lost in the local.

I am not a fan of The Israel Project (TIP) for the simple reason that it suffers from the same delusion that plagues FOX News: the one where you claim to be a “,” but do all you can to misdirect any criticism that might challenge your prejudices and lead to real, lasting dialogue. In 2009, TIP sent out pamphlets to supporters in which they recommended countering criticism of the settlements by changing the subject and saying that stopping settlement is “a racist idea” or “a kind of ethnic cleansing.”
Since 2009, TIP’s leadership has gotten a bit softer. Maybe that’s why I was a bit surprised to find that TIP’s gaze has become patently male — a turn illustrated by a sexist post on their Facebook page last Monday. The post, accompanied by a caption “✡ Only in the IDF ✡,” features the buxom buttocks of a young woman, ostensibly on duty as an Israeli soldier. The camera catches her from behind, so as to better let her skin-tight trousers show off her curvaceous figure as she gazes back over her shoulder with inviting eyes, blond hair let down and cascading alongside her rifle.
While I concede that, strategically, sex sells (the post garnered over 15,000 “likes”), this particular development in TIP’s social media strategy is surprising. Not only because of its sexist gaze, but because, as Ben Murane pointed out over at Jewschool, all three of TIP’s founders — Jennifer Laszlo Mizrahi, Sheryl Schwartz and Margo Volftsun — are women. (Note, though, that Mizrahi left the organization years ago, Schwartz is no longer on the board and Volftsun is not involved in day-to-day social media.)
Because I don’t know who took the photo or if they were in any way involved with TIP, I can only fault TIP for using it. And, judging from several months of posts, the photo most definitely veers away from the way they usually present soldiers. Their style is more Humans of New York — pictures of brothers and sisters, cousins and triplets serving together — than “soft core porn,” as one commenter labeled TIP’s post. And while Israeli soldiers, given their age and health, are generally fit and attractive, this post and a few others on TIP’s tumblr are odd for the way they show men as heroic, but woman as objects.
What makes the photo posted last Monday by far the most troublesome is the extent to which it’s staged so as to deliberately fit this double standard. I mean, look at those pants! Our young solider would have had to spend more than a pretty penny at a tailor shop to pull a pair of baggy fatigues back to Lululemon proportions. People do that sort of thing, it’s true, but the angle, the lighting, and the letting down of the hair (uniform violation!), just feels slimy.
TIP’s apparent attempt at backtracking against criticism only makes things worse. Wading through a week’s worth of fear-mongering Facebook posts, I found that, a few days later, they posted a photo of a young man with the same “✡ Only in the IDF ✡” caption. This time, we see a young man pulling up his shirt and pulling down his shorts to reveal tattoos of a Star of David and a map of greater Israel. This young American immigrant to Israel seems to be more gregarious and creepy than sexy. This image also garnered complaints: “Glad you are a proud Israeli, but this is not a Jewish way of showing pride. Tattoos are forbidden.”
Of course, selling Israel with sex is nothing new. It has been going on since the 1950s and 60s. Hell, “Mad Men” did an episode where even Don Draper’s pitch for an Israeli tourism campaign isn’t sexy and objectifying enough for his clients. More recently, there have been tourism campaigns like the infamous “ThinkIsrael” ads aimed at UK audiences and last year’s MKTL pin-up calendar…you get the idea.
But selling Israel with sex has become a strategy that many groups are doubling down on. TIP’s little slip-up here falls neatly in line with other blindly pro-Israel ad campaigns like the one that was devised by the ad agency Seiden for ReThink Israel, one of Sheldon Adelson’s pet projects. The avowed mission? To appeal to “stuff 18- to 24-year-olds care about. Like surfing, beer, hotties, style, music and changing the world. Except they’re all — that’s right — in Israel.”
Hotties! That’s right. There is no way to get around being seen as sexist in this case. As suggested by the imagery used in Seiden’s video, “hotties” is without a doubt code for “girls gone wild.”
Even though TIP’s photo may be a slip-up from, say, a new social media intern, I think it’s more a revelation of the subconscious of TIP’s hasbara. It insults, excludes and changes the subject, just like TIP used to recommend in their pamphlets.

Knowing&LearningThe Complete Guide Tips Traveling Jogja For American ONLY Sassamansville. Join the be aware of before you travel with your top recommendations.
1 . Make sure your passport is certainly valid
Best travellers on the way to the USA are going to be required to have got at least 6th months’ abilities on their passport. However , people from certain countries only need a passport valid for the length of all their stay.
Check the government site for your country of property to see what rules connect with you.
2. Know your visa situation
It’s vital for travellers on the US to be aware of the requirements intended for entering the country.
The Visa for australia Waiver Software (VWP) enables nationals from certain countries to enter the for travel and leisure or traveler purposes for up to 90 days without getting a visa.
Whenever you can enter the region under the VWP, then you need to apply for authorisation prior to exploring through the Electrical System for Travel Certification (ESTA).
Desires to travel beneath the VWP include possessing a great e-passport, like a citizen of an member country, possessing the ESTA authorization, visiting for online business, pleasure or transit requirements, and staying in the US for no more than 90 days.
You’ll want obtained endorsement to travel more than 72 time before the flight (you won’t have the ability to board the flight otherwise), and after that, your LA CUAL is real for two years.
To find out about affiliate countries for a full list of the LA CUAL requirements, view the US Customs and Line Protection ESSA website.
ESTAs cost US$14 per request, which can be manufactured and taken care of online. Is considered worth remembering that you must make use of a credit card to pay.
If you don’t are eligible for the VWP – for reasons just like your trip becoming longer when compared to 90 days, understanding, being a homeowner of a nonmember country, for example – then you will be needed to apply for a australian visa to visit the.
Tipping is actually a notorious minefield for holidaymakers to the US, the old ‘do I, do not I, will it be already covered? ’
3. Buy your TSA-approved freeze
It’s a great idea to secure your baggage while venturing – selection way to acquire peace of mind that belongings secure once you wave these people off in check during? But when travelling Stateside, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) enforces rigid baggage guidelines for security and safety.
All examined bags will be screened, and if the TSA inspectors regard as that a travelling bag needs to be bodily inspected, they may be permitted in order to a fastener and open up a tote.
A note will likely be placed within just your luggage to let you know it’s this that has took place.
To avoid shedding a locking mechanism, it’s good for use a TSA-approved one. These can be launched with a master key, indicating the TSA official does not necessarily need to destroy yours.
5. Know the guidelines about transit
If you have a worldwide flight that transits throughout the US (particularly common with flights to Canada or Southerly America), you have got to clear ALL OF US Customs; technologically, there’s virtually no ‘transit’ in the states, as all of the passengers have to disembark and proceed through migrants and customs.
Remember, therefore fulfilling the visa wants for the States, whether or not you’re merely staying for a couple of hours in the middle international travel arrangements and your travel luggage is looked at through to the final destination.
Regardless if you’re connecting to a residential US journey, it’s vital that you remember that the first dock of access will be to clear customs and recidency.
With that in mind, you should allow around two to three hours in layover between travel arrangements (whether transiting internationally or domestically) to fit immigration, practices and rechecking of luggage. Try and book plane tickets with a person airline to guarantee they’re conscious you’re transiting.
5. Book your airport cab
Whether prepared to a national or international traveller towards the US, a fabulous transfer is a superb way to get from the airport for the destination.
When arriving in america, it does not take extended to notice that is a car-reliant country; 92 per cent of American households use a car.
Community transport system is often narrowed, and the streets can be very busy, difficult to get around, and rather daunting to subscribers, meaning that the best way to get to to need to be when you land in the US is by airport cab. Let us assist that part – assess and arrange your transactions here.
6. Turn off your mobile info
If you’re a big visitor, do not make the general mistake from using your smartphone data while in the US, if you do not have a cellular plan that permits for it; as with travelling to any kind of international destination, mobile phone running around rates are eye-watering.
Make the most of free Wi-fi wherever possible (check our US airport internet pages to see if free WiFi is available in the international airports you’re visiting or from), or look at your mobile phone decide to see if you can purchase a bundle of data for worldwide travel.
Someone holding a wallet with one buck billsStock up on dollar bills; you’ll see them useful for showing
7. Understand tipping etiquette
Tipping is a notorious minefield for travellers to the US, the old ‘do I, don’t I, could it be already included? ’ fable.
Although theoretically discretionary, is considered an unsaid rule the fact that 15-20% is usually expected for restaurants.
The key reason why? Minimum income is lower in the Claims, so tips are an important part of money for many staff.
Tips are common in other service and hospitality industrial sectors too, that include for bartenders ($1-2 per drink), housekeepers ($1-5 per night), concierge (dependent for the difficulty of your request), valet ($1-5 everytime the valet brings your car), resort porters ($1-2 per bag), doormen (a few dollars if s/he helps you receive a cab) and taxi drivers (10-15%), consequently it’s useful stocking up on dollar bills to have them all handy to get tips.
When ever in a eating house, do check your bill before showing though, as some restaurants instantly include a gratuity.
If you’re forking over with a visa or mastercard, you’ll need to write the idea amount prepared to leaving for the credit card bill and add the idea to the total.
Tipping is true of your switch or shuttle driver, as well.
Tipping 10-15% is pretty standard for any private copy, unless something charge is already included, even though shared shuttle drivers will expect between $2-3 per person.
8. Be ready to pay more than you think
Anything you see isnt necessarily anything you get in terms of prices Stateside; most prices are outlined excluding duty, so the prices you see would not include sales tax.
Expect to check out the right until and be demanded more money than you were expecting to pay. Unique cities and states have different tax costs, so prices depend where you’re browsing.
Assuming a 10 per cent addition would be a safe and sound (if extremely cautious) guess, and is simple to calculate. Should you be staying in some resort, it is well worth your time to be aware the fact that you’ll generally be charged some form of holiday resort fee for pools, tennis games courts, net and other ‘extras’, which are added costs on the advertised price.
Make sure you have got health and travel insurance before your visit – healthcare costs are a few of the highest across the world here.
America is one from only a few countries to nonetheless use the Imperial system. So , think of height in toes, distance for miles, temp in F, and excess weight in kilos.
Credit cards and bank cards usually are the preferred function of monthly payment.
Ring your bank prior to travelling – even domestically – consequently they’re knowledgeable you’ll use your bank card.
The US covers six timezones; make sure you find out which time-zone your spot is in on your flights and airport gives.
Hot hint: make the most of the incredible Domestic and State Parks in the US, they’re among the better in the world.
Whether you’re your domestic as well as international visitor, make your trip to the Says easy and easy by arranging your airport cab before you fly : that’s a person less point to think about ahead of your trip.

Picking the right location for your food garden is absolutely crucial. Thus, taking a bit of time to select a site for your food gardenwill be well worth the effort. A sub-par location can result in sub-par veggies! Here are a few tips for choosing a good site:
1. Plant in a sunny location.
Most vegetables need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. There are a few veggies that will tolerate some shade.
2. Close to Home
The best gardens are visited often! The days of keeping a garden “way out back” are long over. Place your garden on a natural path to and from your home, or locate it just out the back door. When a garden is convenient, you will take better care of it, harvest more, and keep it more attractive.
3. Level Ground
If you want to make an insta-garden, you don’t have time to install a complex terrace system. Try to select an area that’s fairly level. If you’re dealing with a gentle slope, that’s ok, but if you’re gardening on the side of a mountain this might take two weekends.
4. Favourable Microclimate
Look for an area that will be sheltered from the worst of the winds and isn’t in a depression or at the bottom of a slope where cool air will pool. In cool climates, if you build your garden on the south side of the house or near a driveway, you’ll reflect heat and light to your plants and extend the growing season. Avoid places that receive strong winds could knock over your young plants or keep pollinators from doing their job. Nor do you want to plant in a location that receives too much foot traffic or floods easily.
5. Think irrigation Before You Build
A garden that requires 127 trips back and forth across the yard with a watering-can will quickly perish. Make it easy to keep your garden appropriately watered by planning out your irrigation right from the start. A soaker hose hooked to a simple garden timer will automate your watering and help ensure success.
6. Plant in moist, well-drained soil.
If you have poorly drained soil (water pools), plant veggies in a raised bed. If you have rocky soil, till and remove the rocks.

This experiential workshop, coinciding with our current exhibition Like the Waters We Rise: A Visual History of Climate Justice, will use individual movement and collective activities to model how water gains force and momentum. These activities mirror the creative process utilized to create the performance work Overflow, which investigates the nature and impacts of Hurricane Sandy. They also engage in Artichoke Dance’s unique approach to contemporary dance partnering, requiring a balance of strength and sensitivity. These experiences, both in doing and viewing, serve as content for examining interconnected systems, effective collaborative action, and environmental justice principles.
Artichoke Dance Company is an arts organization working at the intersections of performance innovation, environmental activism, education, community building and civic engagement. Our productions model scientific phenomenon and occurrences in nature, make use of recycled materials, and involve the public in the process and performance. We collaborate with scientists, architects, visual artists, composers, designers, filmmakers, museums, presenters, educational institutions, corporations and the public to create works infused with forward thinking perspectives. Our groundbreaking work inspires people to gather around pressing issues, to build community, create art, and enact change.
Lynn Neuman, Director of Artichoke Dance Company, is one of the nation’s leading eco-artists. Her work has been presented across the United States and internationally. She is widely known for her multi-year program to mitigate plastic pollution on Coney Island Beach. Lynn is an Association of Performing Arts Professionals Leadership Fellow and the only choreographer to receive a Marion International Fellowship for the Visual and Performing Arts. Recently, she was artist in residence at Rider University and California State University, creating arts and sustainability projects across disciplines.

I have just sent off my info to the Falmouth Anchor, the student newspaper for Falmouth and Exeter Universities.
Having already contacted the editor, Annissa, about my work, she kindly said she thought it was great and was happy to include me in the next possible Introducing article.
This is a revived element of the online newspaper that aims to spotlight “outstanding artistic talent”.
My peer, Dayana Marconi was featured in May, and as it is a bi-monthly promotion, I’m hoping my timing is right to help encourage people to visit my July 26-30 show at The Fish Factory in Penryn (possibly too late for my end of June show).
I provided the following details as requested along with four of my newest Harena Now images.
Based in Cornwall, Josie Purcell’s photographic practice predominantly looks at the human impact on the natural world through the use of alternative and camera-less photographic processes.
She has worked in a variety of photographic roles from commercial to medical, and set up her own participatory photography project, ShutterPod, in Cornwall in 2014.
Her desire to develop her own photographic practice more led her to enrolling on the MA in Photography at Falmouth University. Through this she has evolved her ongoing project, Harena Now.
Harena Now aims to highlight a lesser known environmental and humanitarian issue; the global sand crisis.
Some experts predict that due to the booming demand for sand in industries such as construction, sand may run out. That seems impossible for such a ubiquitous material.
It also seems unimaginable that this has also led to a growth in sand mafias, and that people have lost their homes, livelihoods and even their lives.
To create her non-documentary images, Josie works at a coastal location, using sand, sunlight and sometimes seawater.
It is also important to Josie that she works in a way that minimises her own photographic footprint and she has opted to use camera-less processes that need minimal or no chemical solutions.
By creating a juxtaposition between the aesthetic and the message behind the work, Josie also aims to discover more about how people respond to photography when used to promote environmental and/or humanitarian issues.
Her images meld various sources of inspiration from the passage of time to geology, the microscopic to the vast, anthropocentric to ecocentric ideologies, and the past to the present.
“Harena Now” exhibition at Mount Pleasant Eco Park, Porthtowan, Cornwall.
June 22 – June 29, 2018.
Opening | Private View – Friday, June 22, 6pm – 8pm. Artist talk at 6.30pm.
Open times | Visit http://www.mpecopark.co.uk/ for opening times.

I hope if the schedule works out this will help attract students (and other readers of the magazine) to my show, which will help me to garner fuller feedback and exposure.

Orchid Repeat Pattern
Final repeat pattern:
Hawaiian Party Plates
Lilly Pulitzer Project
Dormify Bedding Contest (1st Place)
Awarded 1st place in the Dormify & CHF Industries Dorm Room Bedding Collection Design Contest
Hosted by the Savannah College of Art and Design Collaborative Learning Center, February 2017
Mosaic Meadow Pattern Collection
The Mosaic Meadow pattern collection is inspired by how kids explore nature with a childlike sense of wonder in every season. It consists of eight patterns in four colorways and is aimed towards girls fashion ages four to fourteen. These patterns can be mixed and matched across the colorways, enabling young girls to develop their own style and show off their personality. Perfect for daily wear, these patterns are “spill-proof” and will hide the evidence of time spent playing outdoors.
Hand Painted Repeat Pattern (no technology)
This hand drawn and hand painted repeat pattern is inspired by a piece of traditional Kutch embroidery from Gujarat, India. The piece I referenced in my design is a type of Banni embroidery, also called Kutch Bharat, which is named after the semi-desert land called Banni in the Kutch district. I was inspired by the Maltese cross portion of the embroidery.

This past week, anticipation of Isabelle Ciarvola’s farewell performance kind of sucked up the energy of many of us devoted spectators. But…
“The high that proved too high, the heroic for earth too hard,
The passion that left the ground to lose itself in the sky,
Are music sent up to God by the lover and the bard;
Enough that he heard it once: we shall hear it by-and-by.” [Robert Browning, Abt Vogler]
Other voices need to be heard too. And these two casts gave new music to us who live far beneath the sky, and new alchemies that spun distinct varieties of gold.
If Ciaravola used her body to transcribe long arcs of arias where you suddenly are convinced you hear the breeze sing along with her, then Alicia Armatriain (stepping in from Stuttgart for the injured Ludmila Pagliero) provided flickering and unexpectedly thunderous microclimates while Amandine Albisson embodied a luminous sky slowly darkening toward heavy rain. Each Tatiana, then, created her own kind of weather.
“Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp,
Or what’s a heaven for?” [Andrea del Sarto]
Armatriain belongs to the reckless tribe of Alina Cojocaru and Marcia Haydée, each only interested in sucking out the emotional nectar deep inside the combination of steps and shapes demanded by their choreographer. Even at the risk of awkwardness, they trust us in the audience be their camera, their mirror, their oxygen, their adrenaline. Our guest Tatiana can do beyond 6 o’clock, but when she does 190 degrees sideways – almost flattening Lensky – the intent, the urgency of why she has pounced upon him, has everything to do with entering into the emotional pitch of the moment.
Armatriain dances and acts her role as if she were a thoroughbred filly, tense and hyper-reactive. So changeable that two bad movies about Van Gogh came to mind: scenes of where the genius slaps blobs of color onto canvas seemingly arbitrarily but then suddenly we see the sky fill with stars. But a superb horse, like a superb painter, is always slightly unhinged: will he fly across the steppes or smack into a wall? That’s how scary and unpredictable her jumps into and out of Onegin’s arms – the reckless way she pushed up off of his hands! — could feel.
Find the scene in Nils Tavernier’s film “Etoiles” where, just before a performance of Doux Mensonges, Wilfried Romoli tries to rein in Celine Talon’s “ick-eek-eek!” response to one of those trickily calibrated lifts where Jiri Kylian seems to slyly honor to his mentor, John Cranko. Somehow last Thursday the opposite happened, and thus Paquette could concentrate on carving out his own Onegin. Armatriain’s abandon visibly freed him up to react to, not anticipate, all she threw at him: “Well, if she’s not afraid I’ll drop her then I’m gonna have fun here too!”
Here alchemy happened and Karl Paquette finally got a chance to stop being stereotyped as “Mr. Nice Guy Reliable Partner” and let fly. His Onegin grew in confidence and became lithe and loose and even greedy. Do you remember the enormous grin that crossed your face when you leapt onto the upper saddle of a see-saw, hoping to knock the other grinning kid sitting down at the ground way up in the air? That’s what their partnering kept feeling like (I mean the word “felt”: I caught myself twitch in response, and realized the person in front of me did as well).
The Letter/Dream scene took on a special flavor, as if this were partly Onegin’s dream too. As if it illustrated an epiphany. I sensed perhaps I was simultaneously witnessing Onegin’s first reaction to reading her letter. A bright electric flash of joy – “could this be something I could feel?” I could imagine his pulse thickening at soon as he started perusing her missive, briefly alive, until the moment he folded it up again and sighed “what might have been.” This duet, conceived to illustrate an interior monologue, became a dialogue.
Joy and release within reach, the “Spring Waters” Soviet-style crotch lift – and other lifts – that Cranko so tenderly re- appropriated here seemed to really come out of nowhere and everywhere. James Tuggle, a most sensitive conductor who actually watches the stage throughout, sometimes gently stretches out the musical line to give his couples time to get into lift-off position. This night he didn’t have to, and accelerated.
Less chilly, Paquette’s Onegin had an eye for the women from the start. He reminded me that Pushkin makes Onegin tease Lensky: “if I were a poet, I’d have picked this one instead.” A slightly avuncular tinge also signaled the patronizing (and so cruel in its own way) speech with which he will return Tatiana’s letter in the original text. So, when haunted by the ghosts of women past, you could understand what he had thought he had seen in each will o’ the wisp that passed through his arms. And all the regrets of so many lives not lived to the full.
Never – Beloved!
While I am I, and you are you,
So long as the world contains us both,
Me the loving and you the loth,
While the one eludes, must the other pursue.” [Life in a Love]
If, in my opinion, Hervé Moreau’s Onegin of the 23rd surely headed out to drown in the Neva, Paquette’s of the 25th will probably drink himself to death while savoring every single morsel of his memories. Josua Hoffalt’s Onegin of the 26th, on the contrary, will just shut himself away in darkened rooms and slowly – and most determinately — let himself starve and fade away, staring angrily at his own reflection.
“Best be yourself, imperial, plain and true!” [Bishop Blougram’s Apology]
For last Wednesday Hoffalt’s Tatiana, Amadine Albisson, seemed as milky and addictive as curds and whey. Here all the lines were pure and cleanly shaped, all the steps full out, but never wild. She’s too young to channel Rachel or Callas the way Ciaravola now knows, but she’s mature enough to trust herself. Thus, her simple – but not simplistic – approach to the role reminded me more of Romy Schneider’s hope-filled (but in no way saccharine) Sissi than the still and sad-eyed Elisabeth she would later learn to evoke for Visconti. Men have told me their eyes were somehow drawn to the nape of Schneider’s neck, as I was to the way Albisson arched hers.
She was up against some partner: Hoffalt, irritable and nervy as if he were fleeing more than boring St. Petersburg society. As if he had already killed someone and needed time – and not more annoyances – to figure it out why he still needed to be alive. His pure and plucked-taught lines grew out of the energy of the music (and one day he will learn to bring this same commitment to those Petipa princes) and meshed with Albisson’s.
“My sun sets to rise again” [At the ‘Mermaid’]
On both nights Fabien Révillion’s varied and apt attack, his rhythmic and assured punctuation of perfectly executed and extenuated steps all free of hops and bobbles, made me wonder where this youth-filled poet had been all my life. Steps are only, after all, metaphors for words. Perhaps Lensky has delved too deeply into the German Romantics, but this one filled out his steps and let us watch him grow from a boy into a man overnight. A goofy grin and fleet-footed gayety gave way to a wrenching solo on the eve of the duel where he too let go of the expected. This Lensky punched at the air with all the force in his body, tried to slap at the sky, and seemed to want to yell at his younger self for bringing on the fate bearing down on his body. Where Heymann begged succor from the moon, Révillion’s outstretched arms cursed it. Arching backwards, he seemed to understand how foolish he had been to only smile for so many wasted years before daring to kiss either Eve Grinsztajn’s bewitching or Marion Barbeau’s touchingly forthright and sunny Olga. Révillion’s and Barbeau’s lines, sense of weight, and complementary look bode for an adorable partnership. I hope to see them paired again in a ballet with a happy ending.
“Lo, life again knocked laughing at the door!
The world goes on, goes ever, in and through,
And out again o’ the cloud.” [Balaustion’s Adventure]

Screen privacy filters are an easy way to keep snooping eyes from seeing what’s on your laptop monitor. If you’ve ever wondered how they work, this video reveals all.
If you’ve ever had vertical blinds in your home, you know that you can only see through them at a certain angle. As Linus explains in the video above from the Techquickie YouTube channel, screen privacy filters work the same way, but on a much smaller scale. The tiny blinds, or micro louver, built into the filter allow light to pass through straight on and not on the sides. This makes it so you can see what’s on your screen, but the weirdo next to you on the plane can’t. Some laptops even come with them built in now, where you can turn the filter effect on and off at will.
Screen privacy filters work pretty well, but nice ones aren’t cheap, especially if you have a large monitor. If you don’t want to spend somewhere between $30 and $150 on one, you could always build your own DIY privacy monitor.

ANC centenary celebrations continued into the early hours of Sunday morning ahead of the historic January 8 statement in Bloemfontein.
It was a blend of pomp and ceremony interspersed with dancing in the streets as ANC leaders, veterans, supporters and invited dignitaries celebrated the party’s 100-year anniversary.
Events were held across the city and surrounding areas throughout Saturday.
While officials prepared to entertain visiting heads of state, ANC veterans and leaders at an extravagant gala dinner, the party for the members was happening in the townships.
Cavalcades of luxury vehicles branded with ANC colours and emblazoned with faces of the party’s struggle icons lined Moshoeshoe Street in the Rocklands township, creating massive congestion.
ANC members marched peacefully, chanting struggle songs and dancing in the sweltering heat.
The dinner, held at Vista University entertained the who’s who of the African liberation struggle.
President Jacob Zuma sat alongside several other African heads of state in front of the stage — separated from other guests.
“This is going to be an evening of celebration. Free flowing and relaxed with many speakers paying homage to the ANC,” master of ceremonies and senior ANC leader Cyril Ramaphosa told guests.
Former Zambian president Kenneth Kaunda received a warm welcome, earning a standing ovation as he made his way to the stage.
“Let’s congratulate South Africa for a job well done on their freedom. The ANC brought this country’s people into a new dawn,” Kaunda said.
Uganda President Yuweri Museveni labelled the ANC centenary as “an achievement for the entire African continent”.
“South Africa may have been the last African country to win freedom but you’ve brought stability to the continent,” Museveni said.
Namibia President Hifikepunye Pohamba echoed the sentiment.
“We didn’t know we were making history during the struggle for liberation. The ANC’s achievements gave courage to the rest of Africa’s liberation struggle,” Pohamba said.
Staying the course
ANC veteran Ahmed Kathrada hailed the “hard-won victory” of the ANC’s liberation struggle, saying many great achievements had been made.
“We have achieved a lot of things but the most important thing is dignity. The whole of South Africa is free,” Kathrada said.
While speakers heaped praise on the achievements of the ANC, they were also mindful of the challenges still facing South Africa.
Pohamba maintained that “liberation is not enough” and all of Africa’s people “need to be freed from poverty”.
“We have to fight poverty and all its offshoots of hunger, ignorance, disease, crime, corruption and above all, exploitation of one mind by another,” Kaunda added.
In a veiled reference to the failure of other African leaders in tending their country’s challenges, Kaunda warned Zuma to “always negotiate and discuss” national issues as “two wrongs don’t make a right”.
Proceedings were interrupted when Zuma led a delegation to the historic Waaihoek church where the ANC was founded.
The Centenary Flame was lit and a formal service marking the centenary was observed.
Hymns were sung and prayers were made inside the packed church where several heads of state and senior ANC leaders were in attendance.
During the service a candle was also lit in commemoration of all ANC presidents.
After the service Zuma led dignitaries back to the gala dinner.
The president officially ended proceedings at 3am.
“I thank you for sharing in this moment even though timing lost us a little bit. Let’s all go get a little rest before the proper celebrations,” Zuma said.
Streets of yellow, green and black
While the gala dinner wound down, ANC members not attending headed towards the city.
Across the streets of Bloemfontein people wearing the yellow, green and black of the ANC celebrated as loud music blared from car stereos as people danced and drank.
ANC high-rollers checked into a nightclub in the city centre. Former national police commissioner Bheki Cele and Tony Yengeni were spotted at the club, booking out the VIP section, which was packed with provincial and national government officials.
In London, British Prime Minister David Cameron on Sunday hailed the ANC as a “beacon for the world” in fighting discrimination and oppression.
“On behalf of the British people, I want to congratulate you and everyone involved with the [ANC] on this very special anniversary,” wrote Cameron in a letter to Zuma.
“It is incredible to see the changes in South Africa that the ANC has helped to bring about,” he said.
But there were also calls to address Africa’s challenges.
Democratic Alliance leader Helen Zille on Saturday congratulated the ANC on its centenary event.
“I extend my sincere congratulations to the [ANC] and its leader, President Zuma, on reaching this impressive milestone,” Zille said in a statement.
“These 100 years show an extraordinary record, without parallel on the continent of Africa. If the ANC is saying this is much more than a celebration of the 100th birthday of a political party, we agree. It represents a history of progress, a quest for human rights and the advent of democracy after a long, arduous struggle that took over 80 years,” she said.
She said the values espoused by the father of the new South Africa, Nelson Mandela, still resonated strongly with the people of South Africa and his humane, non-racial vision of equality for all under a democratic system led the country out of the dark days of repression and put it firmly on the path to freedom.
However, the centenary event also called for introspection and reflection as without the values articulated by Nelson Mandela, the ANC also risked becoming a rudderless vessel, Zille warned.
Going to its roots
The party was founded on January 8 1912, as the South African Native National Congress. The country’s apartheid rulers banned it in 1960, jailing its leaders four years later.
Nearly 30 years later, the crumbling, internationally and isolated apartheid regime released Mandela, who oversaw the peaceful transition.
It has dominated the political scene ever since, enjoying huge wins in every election.
But South Africans are increasingly frustrated over allegations of corruption and the government’s failure to spread the benefits of their political victory more broadly — 38% of the nation still lives in poverty.
Economically, the party has drawn praise for its economic management, rolling out new electricity and water supplies, as well as housing, and inspiring a new black middle class.
But it has failed to give the poor the benefits of the post-apartheid boom.
Critics say too many people have been left to make do with shoddy public hospitals and schools, a dangerously high joblessness rate of 25%, violent crime and a grim life in the shantytowns. — Additional reporting by Sapa

Yesterday we visited Arnhem again. This time we went to see the main exhibition of MoBA 13 “Fetishism in Fashion”.
A leather headpiece in soft pink with gold hardware, designed by Niels Peeraer, really caught our eye. It looked like a purse turned upside down and at the same time as a leather wig: Cleopatra meets Manga. At the office we looked up this young designer from Belgium and learned he is a designer of mostly bags, bracelets, key chains and such. Up till now he made four collections in a strong, personal style, expanding the story he started telling with his MA collection for S/S 2011.

‘Guess technology isn’t ready for pancake teleportation’ MA collection (S/S 2011) by Niels Peeraer. About a boy who has an imaginary boyfriend but still prepares everyday to get married to his love.
We thought this photo is explanatory for Niels Peeraer’s style: sweet softness combined with the opposite; rough and hard core: Killercute! His latest work has evolved into more roughness than the photo above, it immediately makes you think of sex in an SM kind of way, again: KillerCute!!!

In March 2015, MHCF’s first grant of $1.3 million dollars supported county and tribal health department strategic planning and programming through a collaboration with the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS). As part of its efforts to support health departments around the state, DPHHS undertook a department-wide effort to provide counties with more specific, county-level health data. These County Health Profiles offer an important new tool to help communities in Montana identify health needs and make plans to address them. They are now available via DPHHS’s portal for the county health departments.
Please join our mailing list to receive updates on Montana health research, upcoming events, and grant opportunities.

Well, I am back in my Happy Place, The Amazon. The flight from Lima was used to write my first draft of my personal statement and the boat ride from Iquitos to Ceiba Tops Resort was used to finish it. Feeling very productive at this moment. The Amazon Queen is truly a sea worthy vessel and carried us without complications to our destination.
Our first day of Amazonian clinic was this afternoon. The people of the Amazon are so polite. Even as I looked at the bench full of people waiting to be seen and asked “Qui es proximo?” (my broken Spanish version of “who is next”) They each looked at each other so as not to jump the line in front of someone else. This was a major change from the more aggressive patient population in Iquitos, which is still much more patient than we are at home.
The sites are almost as beautiful as the people. I am grateful and happy to be back.

Enough of politics, or infection, or blame game. That will come. In the mean time we need to eat. Following the human urge for food, yesterday I made sour cherry pie. It is one of the specialities I do. At least it looks special to me! Below is how I made it. It is not a recipe it is just experience sharing!
As there are no fresh sour cherries where I live we settled for frozen ones. So here how it goes.
Put frozen cherries in the bowl and mix it with cinnamon, brown sugar and sour cherry jam. That is my secret. The jam! Not a lot.
Leave it for sour cherries to defrost and start feeling the the baking tray pie crusts in prepared baking tray greased with olive oil.
With each two layers of crusts inject the filler. Till it lasts. Then transfer it to the oven which was preheated to 220 C and leave it in for 20-25 minutes.
You will love it!
And to make this Day 9 even sweater here is the my short and sweet poem called
SOUR CHERRY PIE
Sour cherry pie ,you and I
Once upon a time
I made sour cherry pie
Just to try to get your smile.
It was more than expected
as I got also a little attention
and, surprisingly, some genuine affection.
We both learned that sour can become pleasant and sweet
as long as two souls are open to really meet.
And that has happened with your look
with that special angle your lively eyes took.
The rest would be history
If there was a date of expiry.
But, but, but it was just the beginning
giving to sour cherry pie
all the new meaning!
First published 13/8/2019
This is the end of the beginning!
We will prevail!
Connect and Respect
Our ATTIC our LADDER

LAUDERDALE COUNTY, Tenn. — A day after corrections administrator Debra Johnson’s murder, yellow tape still surrounds her house on the grounds of the West Tennessee State Penitentiary near Henning.
Meanwhile, law enforcement agencies from across the state continued their search for Curtis Ray Watson, the escaped inmate they’ve charged with Johnson’s murder.
Based on the list of charges the TBI released Thursday, it appears Watson broke into Johnson’s house and sexually assaulted her. He’s charged with first degree murder, aggravated sexual battery and especially aggravated burglary.
“It scares you. I mean, you don’t know where he’s gonna turn up or what else he’s gonna do,” said Debbie White, who lives a few miles from the prison.
“If he did what he did to get out, then to me he’s a desperate man on the run,” White said.
People who live in the immediate area are desperate for Watson to be found, but they’re reassured by the troopers and corrections officers that can be seen on almost every corner.
They’ve set up check points at roads leading to and from the prison and WREG saw them scanning nearby fields Thursday afternoon.
Still, some are convinced the man they’re looking for is long gone.
“I’m concerned about the rest of the people, but I don’t think he’s coming up to my house ‘cause I can’t even cook good,” said Jean Hopkins.
Watson, who was serving time for kidnapping his wife, was classified as a minimum security inmate and allowed to do farm work. The TBI revealed Wednesday that he escaped the prison on a tractor before abandoning it about a mile-and-a-half away.
“I hope they get him caught soon and bring him to justice and then we can all go back to our normal life,” said White.
The reward for information leading to Watson’s capture now stands at $52,000. The TBI says he stands about 5′ 11″ and probably weighs between 180 and 200 pounds.

From Orion Magazine:
I TOUCH TREES, as others might stroke the fenders of automobiles or finger silk fabrics or fondle cats. Trees do not purr, do not flatter, do not inspire a craving for ownership or power. They stand their ground, immune to merely human urges. Saplings yield under the weight of a hand and then spring back when the hand lifts away, but mature trees accept one’s touch without so much as a shiver. While I am drawn to all ages and kinds, from maple sprouts barely tall enough to hold their leaves off the ground to towering sequoias with their crowns wreathed in fog, I am especially drawn to the ancient, battered ones, the survivors.
Recently I spent a week in the company of ancient trees. The season was October and the site was the drainage basin of Lookout Creek, on the western slope of the Cascade Mountains in Oregon. Back in my home ground of southern Indiana, the trees are hardwoods—maples and beeches and oaks, hickories and sycamores—and few are allowed to grow for as long as a century without being felled by ax or saw. Here, the ruling trees are Douglas firs, western hemlocks, western red cedars, and Pacific yews, the oldest of them ranging in age from five hundred to eight hundred years, veterans of countless fires, windstorms, landslides, insect infestations, and floods.

Truly, madly, deeply... the fatal attraction of sharks
The Galapagos Islands offer a natural showcase of wonder that has captivated visitors for centuries. Andy Round enjoys a reef encounter with a pack of hammerheads.
By Andy Round
We were five metres under the ocean, slowly descending underwater volcanic walls when the flickering blue shadows came into focus. I wasn’t sure, but they looked suspiciously like sharks. The dive leader placed his fists either side of his mask to give the international underwater signal for hammerheads. Unbelievable. It was professionally confirmed. Real hammerheads, just metres away, I was so frightened I nearly hyperventilated.
We cautiously released air from our buoyancy jackets and floated down a couple more metres to allow the sinister shapes to come into sharp relief through the cloudy plankton. There were eight of the man-sized beasts all nonchalantly sweeping their tails against the powerful current. Their aim, it seemed, was to remain static in the waters directly beneath us. I tightly gripped a rock overhang with my chain-mailed glove, hypnotised by some seriously prehistoric chilling out.
I was in a submerged volcano crater known as Devil’s Crown in the Galapagos. Beneath me was a watery version of Hades. Still, the devil always has the flashiest tunes and these axe-headed monsters were the most exciting things I’d seen in the whole of a week’s cruise. You can keep your blue-footed booby rare birds and giant 100-year-old tortoises, beneath me was the real reason I’d come to these Ecuadorian islands.
Squashing land iguanas
Of course there is plenty of wild stuff going on above sea level. The Galapagos are 20 Discovery Channels running simultaneously. They are an overload of natural selection that doesn’t need a David Attenborough documentary voice-over. Used as the basis for the visiting Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution in 1835 and protected as a World Heritage Site since 1979, the islands are famed for their fearless wildlife.
Each island is an individual time capsule of wonderment. Isla Plaza Sur has red and yellow land iguanas that can’t make a move until the Pacific sun warms their blood; Isla San Salvador is an abstract landscape of centuries-old black molten lava flows; Isla Bartolomé has crested penguins off its coast and on Isla Seymour birds balance chicks on their blue webbed feet.
The amazing thing is that because these vigilantly monitored islands have no natural predators, the animals and birds are not afraid of anything, even humans. When I watched Russell Crowe purposely stride ashore a cinema location Galapagos island in the movie Master And Commander I held my breath, not in anticipation of manly heroics, but in case he accidentally trod on a land iguana. The lazy thing just wouldn’t have been bothered and was unlikely to move for anyone let alone an Oscar-winning actor.
In my own real-life Galapagos big screen adventure during my cruise, I’d watched albatrosses run past me and fling themselves off the cliff edge into oblivion. First, I was amazed that they couldn’t just take off like a normal bird (they’re too big for that) and secondly, I was blown away by the fact that they didn’t give me, the token human, a second thought. On the beach at Bartholomé I got so close to a baby sea lion on the beach I could smell his fishy breath.
Disembodied shark optical systems
It’s all mind-boggling stuff, but, incredibly, you soon get immune to stepping over giant sleepy reptiles and cooing over baby chicks. After your first dozen rolls of film, the novelty of capturing the ultimate ‘wild moment’ for your blog website just seems, well, a little tame. It was time for action. And that’s where I found myself at 10 metres of salty Pacific clinging to side of Devil’s Crown.
As dives go it’s pretty straightforward, close to a major island, no deeper than 25 metres to the bottom with sharp rock either side to hold on to (that’s why we needed the chain gloves). The nightmare, sharks aside, is the vicious current that funnels through a giant break in the side of the crater, gathers momentum and whips through one opposite on the other side. Lose grip of your friendly rock and you’ll find yourself dragged down and out. Somewhere off the coast of Peru, I imagine.
Anyway, we knew the risks, the life insurance was up to date and we’d been told what to expect on board the boat. The dive leader had explained that there was a good chance of seeing hammerheads because they loved the strong currents of old the volcanoes. More importantly he then outlined why these sharks were cooler than John Coltrane’s fridge. Basically they have an eye and a nostril either end of the mallet-shaped head to increase the radar range of their sensory systems. Great whites are frightening, but when it comes to the hunt and destroy shark league, hammerheads are in the premier division. I continued to look down wondering how many disembodied shark optical systems were giving me the eyeball.
The leader gestured us to continue descending. Our team of four let out more air and we slowly moved closer. Suddenly, I caught a flurry of black and grey out of the corner of my eye and Jaws, The Deep and Open Water flashed through my heart-attacked mind. It was my diving buddy. She’d lost her grip and slipped a metre and, in a frenzied flurry of fin flapping, had grabbed another overhang. In the split second it had taken her to reposition herself it was all over. The eight pairs of super shark sensors had seen us and were gone. Long gone. We watched as their powerful tails propelled them into the impenetrable depths.
Fat air bubbles and sea lions
My buddy’s frantic movements were the underwater radar equivalent of silently creeping up behind someone and banging a pair of cymbals. Naturally you’re going to freak out. And that’s what the sharks did. Vamos. They were out of there. Of course they could have us for breakfast, but usually sharks prefer their prey to be vulnerable, tired, smaller than them and not thrashing around in expensive luminous fins.
It was a pity, but there were some major fringe benefits. Without dangerous predators marking out the territory, the sea lions came out to play. Dozens and dozens of them barrel-rolled around us creating a three-dimensional interactive game where only they knew the rules. They dive-bombed us from above they torpedoed us from below and Kamikazed towards us at warp factor 10. Each time they would swerve away at the last milli-second in a blur of streamlined fur. Each time I failed to reach out to them, their sea lion grins mocked me. And every time I released fat air bubbles they would puncture them with their noses. It was fabulous.
Prehistoric webbed feet
We made our way across the rocky seabed and began to ascend up the other side, holding on to the rock to steady ourselves against the underwater flow. The sea lions realising our lack of underwater mobility soon tired of diver baiting and continued to play among themselves spinning through the water and riding the currents. And then, they too were gone.
As we paused for our second diver safety stop close to the sparkling water’s surface, I saw a metre-long sea iguana lazily cruise past us. Its Godzilla face was expressionless as its prehistoric webbed feet cycled through the water, ruddered by a whip-thin tail. There was a surreal touch of Alice In Wonderland about it. It didn’t give me a thought or deviate once. It just continued its dignified leisurely swim. Clearly, this was a lizard with something serious on its mind.
I inflated my jacket, rose to the surface and then lay back, bobbing in the water as the others popped up. A quick couple of kicks and I was by the tide-stained hull of the dive boat. I hauled my weights up to the waiting captain, passed my fins to him and dragged myself up the boat ladder. I was exhausted by adrenaline overload and physical exertion. “Good dive?” the captain grinned. “See any sharks?”

JAKARTA September 12- The Netherlands sought to “close a difficult chapter” with its former colony Indonesia on Thursday by publicly apologising for summary executions carried out by the Dutch army in the 1940s.
As children of some of the men who were massacred without trial looked on, Dutch ambassador to Indonesia Tjeerd De Zwaan offered a state apology during a ceremony at the Dutch embassy in Jakarta.
“On behalf of the Dutch government, I apologise for these excesses,” said the ambassador.
“The Dutch government hopes that this apology will help close a difficult chapter for those whose lives were impacted so directly by the violent excesses that took place between 1945 and 1949.”
He was referring to the years of the Indonesian war of independence, when the sprawling archipelago nation sought to shake off Dutch colonial rule.
The Hague had previously said sorry to the relatives of those in particular cases but it has before never offered a general apology for all summary executions.
Last month the Dutch government also announced that it would pay 20,000 euros ($26,600) to the widows of those killed.
Special attention was given at Thursday’s ceremony to the widows of men killed during a brutal campaign on Sulawesi island in central Indonesia.
The Dutch government in August compensated 10 women whose husbands were executed by its army in the “South Sulawesi Campaign” of 1946 and 1947, and their children were those present at the Jakarta ceremony.
The ambassador said he planned to fly next week to Makassar, the capital of South Sulawesi province, to meet the widows, who are aged between 90 and 100.
One of the worst atrocities committed by the Netherlands in Indonesia, the campaign saw Dutch troops carry out summary executions in a series of villages over three months in a bid to wipe out resistance to colonisation.
Some in Indonesia have claimed the death toll was as high as 40,000 but historical studies have put it at several thousand.
In 2011 the Dutch government also offered a public apology and compensation for victims of summary executions which took place at Rawagede, on the main island of Java.
Thousands of Indonesians were killed in the war of independence, which ended in 1949.

MANCHESTER, United Kingdom, Sep 26 – Derby County manager Frank Lampard piled more misery on his former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho as the Rams beat 10-man Manchester United 8-7 on penalties, while Manchester City cruised into the last 16 of the League Cup on Tuesday.
Mourinho paid the price for making nine changes in a thrilling 2-2 draw at Old Trafford before spot-kicks with Paul Pogba rested on another day dominated by the Frenchman’s frosty relationship with his manager.
Phil Jones finally missed from the spot after 15 successful penalties in a high quality shootout.
According to reports before kick-off, Pogba will not captain United again under Mourinho due to his persistent public outbursts criticising the Portuguese’s tactics.
Early on it seemed like Mourinho would get a positive response to Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Wolves as one of Lampard’s former Chelsea team-mates Juan Mata slotted home the opener after just three minutes at the end of a fine team move.
However, an unchanged Derby side struck back after the break thanks to a wonderful free-kick from on-loan Liverpool striker Harry Wilson.
Moments later, United goalkeeper Sergio Romero saw red for handling another Wilson effort outside the area.
The visitors made the man advantage count when Jack Mariott headed home five minutes from time, but Marouane Fellaini looked to have saved Mourinho’s blushes with a towering header deep into stoppage time.
However, substitute United ‘keeper Lee Grant failed to stop any of Derby’s penalties and Jones finally faltered to compound a bad start to the season for Mourinho’s men, who already trail Premier League leaders Liverpool by eight points.
– Foden shines –
City boss Pep Guardiola enjoyed a far more comfortable evening despite also ringing the changes as England under-19 international Phil Foden shone in a 3-0 win at League One Oxford.
The visitors dominated throughout but had just the one goal to show for it before half-time as Gabriel Jesus headed home from close range.
Fresh from his first two goals for the club at Cardiff on Saturday, Riyad Mahrez then thrashed home a second on the counter-attack 12 minutes from time.
And Foden rounded off a fine individual display with his first senior goal for the club in stoppage time.
Another League One side Burton provided the other upset of the night by coming from behind to beat Premier League Burnley 2-1.
The Clarets went in front through Kevin Long, but Burton reached the fourth round for the first time in their history as Liam Boyce levelled before Jamie Allen poked home the winner.
The only all Premier League tie of the night saw Leicester edge out in-form Wolves 3-1 on penalties after a 0-0 draw thanks to three shootout saves from Danny Ward.
Fulham’s strength in depth was in evidence as they swept aside Championship Millwall 3-1 at The Den despite making 10 changes.
Crystal Palace proved too strong for West Brom as an Andros Townsend double and Patrick Van Aanholt secured a 3-0 win at the Hawthorns.
Bournemouth struck late through Callum Wilson to squeeze past Blackburn 3-2 after blowing a two-goal lead in the second-half.
Jordan Rhodes’s hat-trick ensured Norwich saw off a second-half fightback from Wycombe to edge through 4-3.
Middlesbrough progressed 4-3 on penalties after a 2-2 draw with Preston and League One Blackpool beat Championship strugglers QPR 2-0.

BY JUDY CARMACK BROSS
Walking into the Stevanovich Institute, surely one of the brightest most welcoming buildings on the University of Chicago campus, you are once again aware that learning can be pure joy. Thanks in large part to the inventive paths developed by Shadi Bartsch-Zimmer, a discoverer of the mysteries and marvels of learning, the institute is dedicated to the formation of knowledge.
By devoting itself to breaking down intellectual borders between disciplines and engaging the public in the process Bartsch-Zimmer, Co-Founder and Inaugural Director of the Institute and Helen A. Regenstein Distinguished Service Professor in the Classics Department and the College, hosts provocative, sold-out lectures, engaging scholars to explore the foundations of knowledge.
We recently toured the institute on University Avenue, had tea in the light-filled taberna overlooking the Japanese Garden that Bartsch-Zimmer and staff created, and met a young sculptor, Kevin Pang, a University of Chicago Master of Fine Arts student, chosen by the director to add public art to the building and amplify the perspective of art to the dialogue.
It is hard to imagine a more vibrant person than Bartsch-Zimmer who brings clarity to any issue. Both elegant and eloquent, she adds spontaneity, genuine warmth, and a terrific sense of humor to a conversation. Scholar, incredibly prolific author, international lecturer, occasional Huffington Post contributor, and frequent leader of global initiatives in China and other countries, Bartsch-Zimmer shared the beginnings of the Stevanovich Institute: “Starting in 2015, I led a university-wide initiative to explore the historical and social contexts in which knowledge is created, legitimized, and circulated. The institute comprises over 40 core faculty and 8 postdocs who work with local and international scholars on joint research beyond recognized disciplinary boundaries.”
The programs—“debates not on Twitter but in real time”—lead scholars and the wider audience to question the status quo across many fields of knowledge including economics, medicine, law, science, and religion. In October the institute will bring in New York Times columnist and University of Chicago graduate David Brooks to moderate “A Meeting of the Minds: Business and the Human,” which engages Ayelet Fishbach, Professor of Behavioral Science and Marketing at Chicago Booth, and Agnes Callard, Associate Professor of Philosophy. Macol Cerda is the institute’s executive director.
For Bartsch-Zimmer, color, art, and welcoming approaches are key. Paintings, many by new artists, add to the lightness of the institute, cozy nooks accentuated with bright colors invite the scholars to escape from Hyde Park classrooms and posit their thoughts in private or with others.
Soon the invitation to learn will be extended well before you walk in the door. Visitors will be greeted by a new piece of public art that will join a campus collection that includes luminaries such as Henry Moore, Guiseppe Penone, and Richard Serra. Kevin Pang is currently completing drawings of a geometric sphere, large enough to walk through, which will have intriguing hints of Arabic and Chinese calligraphy and different impressions inside and outside, relating perhaps to a global perspective.
Pang, a graduate of the University of Washington and an artist since childhood in Greenville, South Carolina, where the local newspaper celebrated his drawing abilities in grade school, called the University of Chicago’s Visual Arts program “the best in the country.”
He elaborated on his aim: “My work is unique to each point in time and purpose. It takes into consideration as many aspects of that particular moment and environment as possible and combines them with my own designs and expression.”
“Similar to the institute, my work does not compartmentalize specific areas of knowledge and skill, and instead, works to bring them all together with individuals and community,” he continued. “For each time and place, I believe there is a singular and optimal work that can be created that takes ‘everything’ into consideration. The key is bringing the material, environment, and design together in a way that allows the beauty of that combination to ring through. Whether a painting, sculpture, performance, or combination, my work aims to reflect the delicate balance and harmony, with the moment and community.”
To Bartsch-Zimmer, public art such as Pang’s creates an opportunity for viewers “to see things differently and then talk about their perspectives.” She says, “Art forefronts the interpretive experience in a way that is less obvious, but equally important, in other disciplines. One of the things we like about Kevin’s piece is that we can walk around, go inside it, let it be interactive. There’s a yin and a yang to it—opposites, yet a symbolic whole as well. And there are always conflicting ideas.”
She relates this idea to the Stevanovich philosophy: “Our scholars and thinkers are driven to question the status quo. For example: How do political regimes impact practices of law or why did China and the West develop at different paces? How is ‘selfhood’ understood across different cultures? What do we make of recent research showing that our bacteria shape our behavior? There are always conflicting ideas when you put fields of knowledge side by side.”
I asked Bartsch-Zimmer what she thought of public art. “Well, one effect of public art is often to provoke people to ask: Why is this art? And their reactions are telling too. In Chicago, for example, people have liked the Bean from the first, and I wonder if one of the reasons is that it is reflective—a sort of precursor of the selfie.”
Earlier in the year, the artist Audrius Plioplys filled the large windows of the Stevanovich Institute with whirling sculptures back-lit in changing colors and made in part from the artist’s MRI brain scans—perhaps an artistic iteration of thought in process.
“Our new series of undergraduate courses that bring together theory and practice will offer students opportunities to rethink the knowledge gained in their specialized areas of expertise, to challenge themselves by placing this knowledge within a fuller context, and to set the stage for becoming not only experts but also innovators in their chosen field. It will help them contextualize their own knowledge of the world in ways that can be beneficial to their intellectual development and life choices in our globalized world,” Bartsch-Zimmer explains.
“We believe that the results of our inquiries equip scholars, leaders, and intellectuals around the globe with the means for more effective discourse and unexpected solutions to improve the world,” she adds. “Like Kevin Pang’s new work, we invite people to open up and go inside.”

That showed them! 'Doors to manual' has the last laugh in glorious style
When Carole Middleton woke up yesterday in her queen-sized bed in the £5,000-a-night ‘royal apartment’ of the Goring Hotel, she must have been almost as nervous as the bride.
Westminster Abbey is a far cry from the village church weddings she is used to attending. And she knew, after months of jibes about her humble beginnings, there would be more attention than usual on the mother of the bride.
Would the woman who spent the first seven years of her life on a council estate, and who is the grand-daughter of a miner, embarrass the Royal Family? Would she turn up in fake tan or, heaven forbid, not be wearing tights?
Touch of class: Carole Middleton's sky blue Catherine Walker made her look every bit as royal as the Firm
Carole knew everything she did would be scrutinised from the moment she stepped out of the limousine outside the Abbey with her son James at her side.
But as she waved timidly to the crowds – knowing they were there to cheer her daughter, not her – she didn’t put a pale grey, court-shoe-clad foot wrong.
The soft blue, almost silver-grey shift dress and fitted coat was a triumph.
And it was topped off wonderfully with a matching hat. Some fellow guests commented on how elegant she looked; others that it was clear where Kate and her sister Pippa got their fabulous figures from.
There were comparisons, too, between Carole, 56, and William’s increasingly matronly stepmother, Camilla, 63. The difference was so great that Carole could have passed for Camilla’s daughter.
The bride’s mother exceeded expectations in her classic, understated ensemble. Greeted by the bishops officiating at the ceremony, she confessed to being nervous.
That was clear for all to see. She was reassured by one of them and told not to worry: ‘Everything is fine, everyone is fine and all will be fine,’ he said.
Meet the mothers: Carole mingling with the Queen and Duchess of Cornwall
Arriving in style: Carol Middleton and Camilla Parker-Bowles return to Buckingham Palace after the wedding
And, of course, all was fine.
As she waited in her seat in the Abbey for the service to begin, she looked thin-lipped and nervous. Who can blame her!
Then the moment her daughter began walking up the aisle, she dropped her head for a moment, almost obscuring her eyes with her wide-brimmed hat. A soft, private smile spread across her face.
The woman from the council estate, whose daughter was once pursued by taunts of ‘doors to manual’ by William’s toff friends because her mother had been an air hostess, was about to watch her daughter marry the future King of England.
Who could deny her a wry smile of satisfaction? She may be a social climber, her daughters may be called the ‘Wisteria sisters’ for their ability to climb and cling on so tenaciously, but the Middleton women on this day triumphed.
The bride, the mother of the bride and the maid of honour – all of them middle-class Middletons and proud of it. Kate had got her man.
Echo: Princess Diana's favourite designer was Catherine Walker
Those who know Carole have learned never to underestimate this most masterful matriarch. While fellow guests were admiring her perfectly poised outfit, she knew it wasn’t any old designer – certainly not something she picked up from a Berkshire boutique.
The designer was Catherine Walker, who happened to be one of the most important women in Princess Diana’s life.
She died of breast cancer in September last year, but the label she founded lives on.
It was to Catherine Walker that Diana turned in moments of the deepest despair over Charles’s affair with Camilla – and when she wanted an outfit to turn heads.
The two women would sit down together to dream up a dress that would put her on the front pages of every newspaper.
And Walker never disappointed. Soft blue was her signature colour for Diana.
But who will ever forget the low-cut, white beaded dress and matching Elvis-style jacket she wore on her disastrous trip to Hong Kong with Charles in 1989 when the affair with Camilla was an open secret.
Or perhaps her most famous outfit: The skin-tight, short blue beaded shift dress she wore in 1997 to the Victoria and Albert Museum two years after their divorce, as rumours were rife that Charles planned to marry Camilla and make her his queen.
Much has been made of Prince William wanting to keep the memory of his beloved mother Diana a part of his wedding ceremony. He gave Kate her diamond and sapphire engagement ring, and one of her favourite hymns was the first to be sung during the service.
The couple drove away from the Abbey yesterday in the same open-topped carriage that took his mother from her wedding in 1981 – then copied Diana and Charles’s kiss on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
Behind the scenes, it is whispered that the mothers-in-law have been at loggerheads over the planning of the wedding. But if Camilla could pull rank over the guest list and many other things besides, Carole had the trump card.
Only she could bring Diana into the Abbey yesterday, and she did it simply and cunningly with her choice of designer, who made an elegant suit incredibly reminiscent of the outfits Diana used to wear.
Stepping up: Carole's arrival at Buckingham Palace was a world away from growing up on a council estate
And a long way from here: The Middleton's neighbours in Chapel Row cheer as William and Kate are married
She was nervous on arrival, and misty-eyed during the service, especially as Kate almost inaudibly said her vows. There was another moment of confusion as the guests milled out of the Abbey and she found herself suddenly standing beside the Queen.
This was something they hadn’t rehearsed. Carole looked uncomfortable, unsure of where to place herself.
But then the Queen cast her a kindly glance; it was enough to steady the nerves and Carole finally allowed herself her moment in the sun. She beamed with happiness.
Carole had out-royaled the royals with her secret tribute to William’s cherished mother.
Not so long ago, female courtiers at Buckingham Palace were quoted as describing her in sneering terms as a ‘meddling misfit’, as ‘pushy, rather twee and incredibly middle-class’.
One haughtily said: ‘There are some social mountains you can’t climb. Re-laying your front drive and trimming the wisteria around your front door isn’t going to make your home, or your daughter, fit for a prince.’
Today, Carole Middleton is the mother of our future queen. She has outsmarted them all.

Overcome Any Storm
He calms the storm, so that its waves are still. Psalm 107:29
There are many times in our lives when we can become overwhelmed by problems. It’s as if the waves of life are crashing down upon us and we don’t know how to escape the storm. During this horrific time, fear can overtake us and we’re stranded with doubt in our hearts. The possibility of surviving seems impossible.
Where’s a life preserver when you need one? He’s right next to you! His name is Jesus. He’s the very one that will preserve your life and rescue you from the storm.
Matthew 8:26- But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.
Storms can bring fear, doubt, and anxiety. However, when Jesus is with you there’s nothing to fear. When you believe that He will move on your behalf, it’s in that moment He will calm the storm. Don’t let fear dictate the outcome of the storm, but let your faith in Jesus dictate the final result.
2 Corinthians 5:7- For we walk by faith, not by sight.
In every aspect of life our faith should be in Jesus. Don’t focus in on your problems - focus on the One that can solve your problems. Jesus is the answer to every storm that arises in your life. He’s the only One that can bring peace to a situation that has chaos. Even though the enemy may try to shake your faith, stand tall and know that your God is with you.
Deuteronomy 31:8- And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.
If God be for us, then who dare be against us? We serve a BIG GOD that can overtake any storm that comes our way. His strength and power will demolish anything the enemy throws at us. We serve a God that is undefeated! So, don’t let fear reign in your heart, but let the peace of Christ take hold of you. Don’t ever forget, that when your faith is in Jesus, you can overcome any storm.

A fine performance from the impressive young duo ensured Belgian Audi Club Team WRT returned to winning ways and secured a first victory for the 2019 campaign for Belgian Audi Club Team WRT. The result was made all the more significant as 18-year-old Weerts also became the youngest overall race winner in Blancpain GT Series history, beating the record set by crew-mate Vanthoor at the Hungaroring in 2017.
It came after Weerts scored pole for Saturday’s opening contest, only to spin out of contention while running in second position.
Sunday’s Pro-Am honours went the way of Hiroshi Hamaguchi and Phil Keen in the #519 Orange1 FFF Racing Lamborghini, who finished second on the road but were promoted to first spot when the #333 Rinaldi Racing Ferrari was hit with a 30-second post-race penalty. The #519 had led early on, before David Perel took the Ferrari into the lead, but when Rinat Salikhov was punished for an on-track collision during the second stint it was the Lamborghini pair that ultimately took the win.
In the Am Cup class, HB Racing completed a perfect weekend that has seen the Austrian squad top every session with its #444 Ferrari. Having led the way in both free practice runs the team then secured a brace of Am Cup poles before taking victory in both races. Sunday’s contest saw Wolfgang Triller handle the first stint before handing over to Florian Scholze, who came home well ahead of the competition.
Sunday’s race was the second of the weekend’s Blancpain GT World Challenge Europe races after Andrea Caldarelli and Marco Mapelli secured a first win on European soil for Orange1 FFF Racing on Saturday evening.
The Italian pair delivered a masterful showing in the weekends’ opening contest under the lights at Misano and secured local brand Lamborghini top honours on home turf. FFF’s victory continues a fine run of success for the Chinese squad. After securing a string of podium finishes since moving up from a title-winning Blancpain GT Series Asia campaign, it has now earned its maiden win.
The Pro-Am category was just as competitive. The pole-sitting #24 Sainteloc Racing Audi led the opening stint thanks to Nyls Stievenart, while the #333 Rinaldi Racing Ferrari moved into P1 after the pit stop phase with David Perel at the wheel. The South African had enjoyed a useful advantage, but this was wiped out by the arrival of the safety car. This allowed Andrea Bertolini to take the #52 AF Corse Ferrari that he shares with Louis Machiels into the lead, after which the Italian ace held firm until the chequered flag.
The Am Cup battle was the most straightforward as the #444 HB Racing Ferrari of Florian Scholze and Wolfgang Thriller continued a dominant weekend with class victory. The squad took an excellent 18th overall to finish some way clear of the #13 GetSpeed Performance Mercedes-AMG.
Blancpain GT World Challenge Europe will return to action in two weeks in The Netherlands when the Zandvoort circuit makes its return to the calendar. Before this, many of the drivers who competed at Misano will head straight for Belgium to contest two days of official testing (2 and 3 July) ahead of the season’s marquee event: the Total 24 Hours of Spa.
A footnote to the weekend’s action in Italy is that a fresh deal has been agreed between Misano and the sprint-format series meaning fans can look forward to at least another three years of international GT racing at the Italian venue.

It’s officially time for Christmas shopping to begin! (or continue, as the case may be…)
There are so many places to shop when you’re visiting the Smoky Mountains. And have I mentioned that Hidden Mountain East is less than 5 minutes to Tanger Outlets at Five Oaks? (Psst: Have you visited the new Tory Burch outlet?)
But Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg also have some great locally-owned shops, and these are a few of our favorites:
- Stages West – Yes, the store is incredibly geared toward cowgirls and cowboys, but there is really something for everyone! From Chacos to Brighton and everywhere in between, it’s one of our favorite family-owned businesses in the area.
- Alewine Pottery– For those who really want to share a bit of the Smokies, this family-owned business makes beautiful and artistic pottery in a range of colors. With everything from spoon rests and mugs to candle holders and vases, and much more, these pottery gifts are sure to delight. And if you haven’t been to the shop in The Glades Arts & Crafts Community, it’s worth the drive just to enjoy the mountain scenery!
- Sweet Peas and Ivy– A charming garden and gift shop in downtown Sevierville. We particularly love the fairy garden selections!
- The Chest and Chair– For home decor, painted furniture, and a large gift selection, this one is a little further out in Sevierville, but the unique gifts make it worth the drive.
- All Sauced Up– This family-owned kitchen and sauce shop has locations in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. It’s a fun atmosphere with kitschy kitchen finds for everyone!
- The Apple Barn & Cider Mill – For friends and family who like fresh-baked goods, cozy apple candles, and gift baskets galore, this is a great stop! In addition to the Barn, there’s a candy shop, creamery/bakery, Christmas shop, and more!
- Robert A. Tino Gallery– This local artist paints such real mountain views that you may feel like you’ve stepped into a memory. Visit his gallery on Hwy 66 to find your favorite Smoky Mountain view!
- The Hidden Mountain gift shop, of course! Find mugs, tees, and more in our Hidden Mountain East office or give the gift of a Smoky Mountain getaway with a Hidden Mountain Gift Certificate, available at the front desk!
These are only a handful of family-owned favorites, but there are so many more shops and gifts to find!
You can view a larger list of shopping links here on our Smoky Mountain Attractions page.
Happy Shopping, friends!

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Gov. Jerry Brown is proposing a $2.5 billion plan to help put 5 million zero-emission vehicles on the road by 2030 and significantly expand the network of electric-vehicle charging stations.
His executive order Friday is a significant expansion of Brown's already ambitious goal of selling 1.5 million zero-emission vehicles by 2025.
California currently has just 350,000 such cars on the road, including electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
Brown's plan would expand subsidies to help people buy emission-free vehicles and spur building of 250,000 electric-vehicle charging stations and 200 hydrogen fueling stations.
The $2.5 billion in spending needs legislative approval.
California has set an ambitious target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to their 1990 levels in the next three years, and another 40 percent over the following decade.

The Secret of Great Relationships and Successful Parents
“We cannot focus upon the weaknesses of one another and evoke strengths. You cannot focus upon the things that you think they are doing wrong, and evoke things that will make you feel better. You've got to beat the drum that makes you feel good when you beat it. And when you do, you'll be a strong signal of influence that will help them to reconnect with who they are." ~Esther Hicks
Little Gems of Wisdom & Fun from Mary Lynn Ziemer
Is there a relationship with an important person in your life at home, work, or socially that you would like to improve? Maybe you'd like to turn a relationship with your children into something that is more joyful and fun? Maybe you want to mend a relationship with your siblings or parents? Or have the perfect relationship with your partner? Maybe it's a relationship with a co-worker or boss that could use some improvement? Regardless of who it is, how can you get to that relationship paradise that every person longs for?
We have all experienced a certain kind of behavior in a person or a group. It really doesn’t matter how we got to that place of expectation, but the truth is this: somewhere along the way, we established a particular view about who they are and how they act. Then, we see evidence of them behaving in this certain kind of way, which reinforces and deepens our belief about them. We become convinced that if they would just be different, our relationship would be better. We believe this to be the truth. We want them to change, even as we continue to see them in the same old way.
Remember, we get what we focus on. We get what we expect. So, it’s much, much better to expect the best!
There’s a well-known song called Man in the Mirror. “If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself, and then make a change.”
Or as Ella Fitzgerald wrote, “It’s time to wake up to reality!”
It’s time to become responsible for who YOU are in relationship to others. Then you will see change. It’s time for you to become responsible for your thoughts, words, and actions as you react to your perception of who you believe them to be. Only when you consistently change how you feel, see, speak and act towards others, will you see them change.
Here is the key. Expecting someone to change doesn’t change them, it changes you. And that is what changes them!
Here are 5 steps to help you begin to improve your relationship with someone:
1. In your mind, see this person (your child, your partner, sibling, parent, co-worker, etc.) as having the potential to be who you want them to be. Create a new image of them and decide what your perfect relationship would look like. Write it down for clarity.
2. Feel lots of love for them. Intense love always takes us to calm and it’s our calm mindset that allows us to know that it’s possible and remain patient in pursuit of our dream. Feeling love is a must. So, find the qualities that you like about them and emphasize your focus, no matter how small, to see these qualities reappear, expand and grow.
3. Focus on the story of your new and improved relationship. Be consistent, especially if your thoughts from your current reality try to tell you differently. Look for even the smallest evidence that you are seeing a change, and in the very moment you notice it, feel more love and express gratitude for it. Being grateful creates more of the same to be grateful for.
4. Remain positive and focused for a more wonderful relationship. Visualize a snapshot that represents the perfect outcome. Repeat it over and over again, and feel love and gratitude for everyone involved as you do. See this picture in your mind as though it already exists.
5. Last, but not least... Choose to consciously respond in conversation instead of reacting from “automatic”. Filter your words and create what you want by feeling, speaking and acting in a new way towards this person. As you change, you will begin to see a shift in their feelings, words, and actions towards you. Consistency is the key. Stay open, loving and grateful!
You see, we create what we expect. For example, if you are considering your relationship with your child or teenager, we have often been told that "this is how a child or a teenager behaves". So, we create that “typical” behavior in our own children. Until we realize that it all up to us! When we change how we feel about our children, no matter the age, and we see them in our mind the way we would like them to be, suddenly they behave in a completely new and different way.
I see my clients in awe when their children are calm, happy, responsible, well behaved and get good grades. Why does that happen? The truth is this about our relationships. Change happens when we change our expectations from the typical behavior to what we truly want in our heart. When you change how you think, speak and act in a more loving way, they will respond by living up to those very new feelings that you have about them. And then a new cycle of the relationship is set into motion. They will feel inspired to live up to your obviously new and very correct appraisal of who they really are.
This same principal applies to everything in our lives. When we are truly happy, feeling lots of love, and our mind is calm, we are able to see the outcome of the situation being what we want. And the calmer we are, the easier it is to KNOW that it is happening now.
Have an absolutely magical week full of love, gratitude and fun, fun, fun!

Low oil prices force Saudi Arabia to borrow heavily
Although often seen as a country of limitless wealth, budget deficits are forcing Saudi Arabia to borrow more capital from both local and international creditors.
The situation has arisen after oil prices fell from June 2014's $107 a barrel to $50 at current levels.
Foreign currency reserves
Saudi Arabia's spending has exceeded budget projections by 20% over the past ten years and Riyadh has been dipping into its foreign currency reserves. This has led to the current deficit.
The country is more accustomed to surpluses, but income from the oil trade has declined and outlays for defence budgets have increased. It all adds up to Saudi Arabia facing a deficit of 20% of its gross domestic product (GDP) this year.
So far, almost $62bn of Saudi Arabia's foreign currency reserves have been used in 2015. On top of this, $4bn was borrowed from local banks in July.
Fahad al-Mubarak, the governor of the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency, said: "We will see increased borrowing in the coming months."
Government revenues are expected to fall by 8% of GDP ($82bn) this year, and the bleak outlook could continue for some time as The International Monetary Fund (IMF) warns the country can expect budget deficits until 2020.
As a prominent member of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), Saudi Arabia insists that it will not cut back on oil production even if the prices continue to fall.
The oil industry makes up 80% of government revenue, as it is responsible for around 50% of the country's entire economic output.
However dire the situation may seem, international students should not expect to be impacted.
One tactic, which could be utilised, includes further issues of $5bn of government bonds per month being made available to investors, including those based overseas.
Every business operates with the goal of growth, but only a few manage to beat the competition at every curve.…
Despite the hardships faced by many businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic, there has never been any shortage of innovative entrepreneurs.…

This article originally ran in the June 2013 issue of Food Manufacturing.
Like many industries, the bottling industry has been trying to reduce its overall impact on the environment and develop more sustainable practices. While maintaining a greener profile can be particularly challenging, companies have definitely gotten the message from customers that they want bottling to use less material and less energy. Leading the pack is the bottled water industry, with the carbonated market close on its heels.
Using less material in the typical PET bottle has definitely had a positive impact on sustainability. The strategy, called lightweighting, reduces bottle weight as much as possible. For example, many water bottles used to use about 18 grams of plastic, and now use about 12 grams.
Decreasing the bottle’s average weight by one-third has, however, had a ripple effect on downstream operations, especially bottle packaging. Virtually all packaging machines — tray packers and loaders, case packers, shrink wrappers, and bottle packers — move bottles along a conveyor belt at a relatively high speed. To collect and organize them for packaging, the speed of the machine has to be decreased, which creates a condition called line pressure. As each bottle pushes against an adjacent bottle, it becomes pressurized, which either damages the bottle’s shape or causes processing problems as the bottles become distorted, more difficult to divide into lanes, and harder to handle and meter.
The industry has dealt with the line pressure phenomenon for quite a while, but it has been exacerbated by the advent of the lighter weight bottles, which are far less tolerant of this pressure. Since necessity is still the mother of invention, several technologies have come on the market to combat the line pressure problem. For example, Standard-Knapp offers a feature called Zero-Gap II Infeed technology for continuous low pressure product conveying. The technology eliminates the line pressure at the beginning of a packing machine and allows the packaging machinery to do a better job of handling the bottles.
Lightweighting can present problems with other large lightweight polyethylene bottles containing such products as laundry detergent, fruit juice or milk. Those bottles are generally dropped into a corrugated case by a casepacker. Sometimes, however, when the bottles land in the case and suddenly stop, significant hydraulic pressure is created by the liquid. That shock can either “pop” the cap off the container or actually split the seam in the bottom of the newer lightweight bottles.
Again, technology has been developed to handle the bottle more gently so less material can be used to make the bottle. For example, Standard-Knapp offers a feature called “Soft Catch,” which reduces the shock energy by 80 percent over a conventional drop packer. This enables the use of thinner gauge bottles and thinner glass.
Another aspect of the push towards sustainability is the use of less corrugated material in the shrink-wrapped trays that hold the bottled product. One way of doing this is with the use of U-board, which effectively eliminates the end walls of the tray, thus using less material while offering more support than a pad. The recyclability and reusability of the U-board makes it extremely environmentally friendly. What’s more, in a conventional tray, the four sides are glued together with hot melt glue, yet another area of energy consumption. Since the U-board doesn’t use glue, energy — and the glue itself — is saved during the production process.
Shrink wrapping is an area of packing that traditionally has proven to be one of the greatest drains on energy usage and a target of attempts to lower energy consumption. The metal chain pulling the cases goes into the tunnel at about 200 degrees and comes out of the tunnel at 260 degrees, which means that it is heating up the room on the return path. This is the single largest energy user in a heat train tunnel. By replacing the metal chain circulating through the heat tunnel with a plastic conveyor belt, Standard-Knapp already has significantly lowering energy consumption.
The new strategies of improving the environmental profile of bottles have had an impact on packaging, and now new technology is coming on the market that facilitates the move towards sustainability.

Epiphany Dermatology Reaps Clinical and Operational Benefits With Dermatology EHR, EMA™, and Pathology Module
- Wanted to start the practice with the best dermatology software option
- Needed a unified dermatology EHR system across all locations
- Sought out an integrated Pathology module
- Focused on solutions to put patient safety front and center
Key Benefits Experienced
- Integrated dermatology EHR system and Pathology module
- Streamlined clinical and operational business functions
- Simplified access to pathology log
- Decreased average turnaround time
How an EHR system and pathology module help streamline the growing practice
“For a practice that wants true clinical and operational advantages beyond simple resulting, there’s no comparison between EMA’s built-in capabilities and an off-the-shelf pathology product. Modernizing Medicine has a huge advantage with its integrated EHR and Pathology module.”
‒ GHEORGHE PUSTA, CO-FOUNDER & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Using the Dermatology EHR, EMA, From the Start
Founded in January 2015, Epiphany Dermatology has grown to span 8 states and employs approximately 70 providers. Our practice believes that everyone should have immediate access to the best skin care, regardless of where they choose to live and raise their family, and provides general dermatology, cancer care and cosmetic services for patients. Since our company’s inception, the practice has utilized Modernizing Medicine’s dermatology electronic health record (EHR) system, EMA. In September 2016, we began using the company’s integrated Pathology module, and we haven’t looked back.
A Positive Reputation Among Dermatologists
We noticed that Modernizing Medicine was well-regarded by dermatologists. Since we started Epiphany Dermatology from the ground up, we didn’t have any legacy issues or biases when it came to our EHR system selection. We simply wanted to start with the best dermatology EHR. Many EHRs are seen as disruptive to productivity, but EMA is intuitively designed and dermatology specific. Every EHR has some drawbacks, and many EHRs are notorious for having a ‘net negative’ effect on practice efficiencies. At Epiphany, we leverage EMA’s productivity features together with our support staff and processes such that providers are not slowed down.
Committed to the Dermatology EHR, EMA
All of our practices use EMA, as we believe in true unification as an organization. Once we identify the leading application for a given need—whether it is an EHR or payroll system—we want to bring that best solution to all our physicians and staff. Doing so also allows us to become experts in that system so we can better train physicians and support staff on its features. Because we believe so strongly in providing the best systems and support, we don’t close on a practice until certain items fall into place, and one of those includes a transition plan to EMA.
We are very operationally focused, and we want to ensure all of our practices are ready to go with EMA on day one. As an organization, we are committed to EMA, which is often easy to say but can prove more challenging in practice. As we have grown, we now have a dedicated internal implementation team that consists of a lead nurse educator, who is an EMA superuser, and a systems expert committed to aid in seamless transitions for all our practices that join us. Consequently, by being on a common EHR platform we give our physicians access to internal data and processes that our medical leadership team has developed to drive clinical outcomes. We saw the vision for what EMA was building and knew future advances would come.
Adding Pathology to the Mix
When we decided to start our pathology lab, we opted to use Modernizing Medicine’s Pathology module because of the integration with the EHR. Since the same system contains the necessary information, it brings operational and clinical advantages. Dermatopathologists can see the information that the dermatologists have access to, including clinical pictures. Once the results are rendered, that information flows back to the referring dermatologist. The note is electronic, and, importantly, the pathology log automatically updates. In the ‘old days,’ many offices had a binder and row for every patient, lesion, site and results. It was more likely then for a cancer to be missed. Now, the second a dermatologist wants to do a biopsy, the system creates an electronic entry and creates a log for the specific lesion that is not closed until the ordering dermatologist receives a report back and tells staff how they’d like to treat a given lesion. That is an incredibly useful advancement to the cancer log and the electronic nature of the process streamlines communication and turnaround times.
Putting Our Patients First
When it comes to benefits, patient safety tops the list. Epiphany values clinical excellence and routinely studies our pathology log. One of the most important jobs of a dermatologist requires diagnosing and treating skin cancers. Melanomas need immediate follow-up, and you never want to lose sight of a positive result. It helps give our physicians peace of mind that patients aren’t falling through the cracks. With EMA and Pathology, no patient gets left behind. And patients with benign lesions appreciate the electronic notification of results via EMA’s patient portal, eliminating the dreaded game of phone tag and saving time for both physicians and staff.
Creating Efficiencies Help Save Time and Money
The pathology module is easy to use, and I give it a 9 out of 10. I find it to be an airtight process and easy workflow.
Our turnaround time used to average 7-10 days, and now, using the Pathology module, together with team-based process engineering, we typically experience a 48-hour turnaround after the procedure – sometimes even the next day. Results are electronically available right away. They don’t have to be faxed or manually entered into the system. This eliminated the biggest source of paperwork in our clinics.
The Pathology module has helped save money, since it has reduced the amount of time it takes staff to perform certain tasks. Now, staff can efficiently maintain the pathology log, and providers can efficiently oversee the process. And it saves our dermatopathologists time since they can use shorthand code, sign more notes in the same period of time, and reduce inefficiencies. We now have two separate path labs with four fellowship-trained dermatopathologists, and they rave about EMA compared to other lab information systems they have used.
For a practice that wants true clinical and operational advantages beyond simple resulting, there’s no comparison between EMA’s built-in capabilities and an off-the-shelf pathology product. Modernizing Medicine has a huge advantage with its integrated EHR and Pathology module.
Want to see how EMA and its Pathology solution can work in your practice?

The resurrection is the most important and wonderful truths of the Christian faith. What better thing then to write a tune to a hymn that takes the resurrection as its central theme. These are often Easter Sunday hymns and one I chose was C.A. Alington’s “Good Christians all, rejoice and sing”. It is very uplifting and reminds Christians everywhere to join in song and praise the one that has died and risen again so that we also can defeat death and reign with Him.

In fact, US Airways lawyers have turned to US Bankruptcy Judge Stephen Mitchell with allegations that the Alabama pension plan is improperly intruding on the airline’s right to negotiate with parties it chooses in order to build a proposed business reorganization plan, according to a Dow Jones story.
“The (Retirement Systems of Alabama) improperly and impermissibly is seeking this court’s imprimatur to substitute the RSA’s business judgment concerning the debtors’ plan sponsor for that of the debtors,” US Airways said in court papers with the US Bankruptcy Court in Alexandria, Virginia. Mitchell is scheduled to hold a hearing on the dispute on Thursday.
According to the Dow Jones story, the pension fund’s proposal is in direct competition with an investment proposal US Airways received before it filed for Chapter 11 on August 11.
Subject to certain conditions and higher offers, private equity firm Texas Pacific said it would make a $200 million investment in the company upon its emergence from Chapter 11 in exchange for a 38% stake and seats on a reconstituted US Airways board.
The deal will form the basis of a reorganization plan the company hopes to file by December 31.
Fund’s Proposal $40M More
The pension fund’s proposal popped up last week. The fund – which has $25 billion in assets and already owns $340 million in US Airways debt – said it would match the terms of the Texas Pacific deal but pay $40 million more and do it on a zero-fee basis.
The pension fund argued in court papers that the airline should be authorized to select the pension fund as the lead bidder to be its plan sponsor.
The pension fund said Texas Pacific stands to earn a $3.5 million fee in exchange for a $100 million DIP loan commitment, even though it elected to satisfy its commitment by guaranteeing advances made by certain other lenders, the Dow Jones story said. Texas Pacific would be entitled to a $3.75 million transaction fee if it’s declared the winner and a $7 million breakup fee if it’s not, the Dow Jones story said.
Considering these fees, and the $40 million extra provided for in its investment, the pension fund said its proposal was superior.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) on states nullifying federal gun laws: I mean, let's look at the context of nullification. Nullification was last used by Southern states to try to eviscerate Civil Rights legislation, to try to prevent states from basically enforcing desegregation and frankly, I think history will look back on this round of nullification as kindly as it did on the last round.
It is laughable also because it is a total bastardization of the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment is not an absolute right, not a God given right, always had conditions upon it like the First Amendment has. The idea that the Second Amendment was put in there in order to allow citizens to fight their government is insane.
If that was the case, we wouldn't have also included treason in the United States Constitution. We basically said if you take arms up against the government, we're going to knock your block off. And that's what the early presidents ended up doing in Shays' Rebellion and the Whiskey Rebellion. The Second Amendment is not designed to allow the citizenry to arm itself against the government and nullification is another example of states not really understanding the true nature of that amendment.

The personal statement required by students applying to university through the Ucas admissions service is a major angst, more so than the interview sometimes.
Personal statements are written, rewritten, scrutinised by parents and teachers and redrafted again, taking up at least as much time and effort as any other piece of work.
“It’s your chance to describe your ambitions, skills and experience,” says Ucas on its website.
Thy English Academy offer a personalised 1:1 service to support all exam, application and interview needs. Send your enquiry via the contact page.

Figuring out what the heck to pack in lunches, making dinnertime decisions, and stocking up on grab-and-go breakfasts happens to be a top priority in many homes, including my own. See also: packing lunches suck. It's a fact that mealtime prep can be a messy, time-consuming business.
Since I love spending time in the kitchen (and because it’s a great opportunity to let my six-year-old flex his stirring skills), we designate our Sunday afternoons to preparing meals for the week ahead. To avoid wasting food or having mealtime meltdowns, I include him in meal planning so I can be mindful of his preferences. Plus, we make it fun by making it a weekly activity we do together. Once everything is ready, we package and label to make our weekdays easier.
We keep this handy chart on the refrigerator. Feel free to print and use it for your family! It helps my son follow a guideline when packing his lunch, but also gives him the freedom to choose what he really wants to have for his recess snack, his lunchtime meal, and his after school treat.
This is the plan I usually follow each meal-prep Sunday:
For my son, I often make a big batch of oatmeal, banana or chocolate chip pancakes on Sunday and simply pop them in the microwave or toaster to warm for him on weekday mornings. We also like homemade muffins, baked oatmeal bars and overnight oats for quick, yummy breakfasts.
Even though I love to make things from scratch, it’s not always possible and sometimes, I just don’t have time to prepare a hot breakfast for myself. I love to have PC Blueberry Greek Yogurt with Overnight Oats with a spoonful or two of PC Hemp Hearts Raw Shelled Hemp Seeds sprinkled on top. Paired with a coffee on hurried mornings, it’s the perfect easy breakfast (or afternoon snack) to have at my desk.
I make a quinoa and tofu stir-fry every week for myself and then I mix it up with sriracha at lunchtime and freshly squeezed lemon juice at dinner.
My son’s favourite food is pizza, and the PC Piadina Italian-Style Flatbread makes a fantastic mini-pizza crust for quick, DIY dinners, or fun lunches at school during the week. I grate cheese, chop vegetables and meats for him and store in little containers so we can simply throw our meals together when we get home. Plus, by packing the ingredients for him, I can create a homemade version of "Lunchables" with the foods we both love.
We have long and often busy days, so it's always a treat for me to sit with him at our dinner table and hear how his week has gone. We try to recognize Taco Tuesdays, Whacky Wednesdays (breakfast for dinner!), and we almost always have homemade nachos on Friday.
My son and I pack our lunches every night before bed, and with lots of options in the fridge and pantry that we can simply grab and choose from, it’s easy and takes only a few moments. My son likes to choose his own special treats for recess and after school snacks, and we both like to pack homemade cookies or one of these muffins for a delicious and filling snack.
Since I only roll up my sleeves in the kitchen once a week, it's important that the fruits of my labour be as versatile as they are delicious. These muffins make a perfect breakfast, snack, or dessert and can easily be customized to suit your family's tastes. Mine rarely last long enough to see the freezer, but they do freeze beautifully and can be stored individually so you can grab-n-go during busy weekdays.
This recipe includes what is easily the most popular grocery item in my house: PC Organics Steel Cut Oats! We make our own version of “shake and bake” chicken, I mix ‘em with Parmesan cheese and mayo to make crusted haddock or halibut, we mix them into cookies, banana bread, muffins – you name it. The steel cut oats are my fave, but be sure to check out the entire PC Insiders Fall Collection because they have a ton of great, new options that will get you excited about creating your own weekly meal plans and recipes!
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/3 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup PC Organics Steel Cut Oats
1 tsp cinnamon
2-3 mashed bananas
1/3 cup buttermilk
1/4 coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs, beaten
Add-In goodies (optional):
1/2c. chocolate chips, shaved coconut, berries, nuts, or any other yummy item you wish to add
1 ripe bananas, thinly sliced and drizzled with coconut oil
1/2 tsp each: cinnamon, sugars to sprinkle on top
Pre-heat oven to 350F. Lightly grease muffin tin or prepare with liners and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine all dry ingredients and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine all wet ingredients until fully mixed.
Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix well to combine (no need for a mixer, a spoon will do). Your batter should be thick, but runny.
Fold in any add-in goodies, if using. Can't decide? Add a few different things, just make sure your add-ins don't exceed 2/3 cup.
Spoon batter into prepared muffin tins, filling each liner or tin.
Top with sliced banana, drizzled with coconut oil, and sprinkle your cinnamon-sugar mixture, if using.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick is dry when removed. Allow to cool in tin for 10-15 minutes, then remove and devour. Enjoy!
If you’d told me 10 years ago that I would be a single mother with an online dating profile, I would have called bullshit and laughed at you. But here we are.
And, you guys, dating is not what it used to be.
NOT KIDDING: This spring, I was lying in bed re-watching Season 5 of Downton Abbey (SPOILER ALERT: it was the episode where Cousin Rose is asked on a dinner date) and simultaneously received a SnapChat from a guy I had exchanged a few texts with.
He sent me a dick pic.
The contrast between a romantic, demure dinner invitation, and this guy’s scrotum on a 4.7” retina display in 326 ppi was painfully stark, and then I had to bleach my eyes and block his number.
Another one bites the dust.
Dating wasn’t so hard when I was younger. I had free time, and my biggest responsibility fell somewhere between feeding the cat and showing up to work on time, preferably without smelling like booze and bad choices. The dating pool was wide and deep. But now? I’m busy with work and family responsibilities, and the reality is that my dating pool just isn’t what it used to be.
I suspected it might be an interesting mix of weirdos and pervs with the occasional nice guy sprinkled in, but the truth is that NO ONE WARNED ME. Even the nice guys, in some cases, have turned out to be socially inept or, uh, not actually that nice.
First was the very handsome doctor with whom I had chatted about eyeglass styles, baking, and training for long-distance running. He was smart, funny and seemed to have his shit together… until he suddenly started discussing blow jobs and his sexual fetishes. That first date won’t be happening.
Then there was the guy who sent me a message and asked what I do for work. I replied that I work in communications and marketing. His response: “You get paid to talk good?”
I can’t not mention the guy who *used fake photos*, or the one who blew up my inbox telling me how he’d love to treat my son like his own and start a family with me. (Why meet first, am I right?)
And then, of course, there was the guy who didn’t realize “single mom” meant I had a kid, and actually WALKED OUT OF THE COFFEE SHOP when I mentioned my son. Or the one who told me he hated kids. And the one who wanted a baby right.this.second.
It takes all kinds, I guess.
Luckily, I’ve met some pretty cool people and while I can’t (or is it won’t? *wink wink*) say I’m sure if I've met Mr He Might Just Be The One, I can say that I have made some great friends. And if nothing else, I’ve got lots of funny stories and blog fodder to keep me going in the event Mr He Might Just Be The One never comes along.
That’s what the cat, the fuzzy hot water bottle and my vibrator are for, right? Love, warm snuggles, and thrills.
And the online dating profiles? GONE.
Most women I know (including myself) often swap out our heels for cute flats or funky sneakers to give our feet a break. Unfortunately, just because they’re flat doesn’t mean a heel-free shoe is better for your feet - in fact, they can do just as much damage.
We’re all born with a fat pad on the bottom of our feet, but it wears down with the overuse of unsupportive shoes. Luckily, you can save your feet (and keep wearing those cute shoes) by adding a supportive insole, like these guys.
I have really flat feet so I can wear flatter shoes than most but the added cushion and arch support makes even my flattest shoes feel like heaven. Consider bringing insoles with you when buying a new pair of flats (or heels) so you can see how they'll fit once the insole is inside.
Looking for new flats for fall? Try any of these styles on for size!
I like to pair my flats with slightly cropped pants to help me look taller and leaner on the days I skip my favourite heels. A well-made pair of classic flats will take you from season to season and can be easily dressed up or down, while a fun colour, texture or print is one of the easiest ways to snazz up your look with minimal effort!

Movie Review – The Godfather
Category : Movie Review
Director: Francis Ford Coppola
Almost no film in cinematic history is bigger than The Godfather, in either pure success or in scope of story. Almost 36 years old, it’s a movie that still ranks at the top of most lists, with every other feature scurrying at its feet trying to reach the level it skyrocketed to with such ease. It’s almost like the Beatles; they may not be your favorite band, but you know a ton of their songs, and you respect them for what they did, knowing that they’ll always be the pinnacle we look up to. That’s the way it is with The Godfather, there will never be another quite like it, no matter how harm filmmakers try. It may not be perfect, but it is the definition of ‘iconic’, and it will last for as long as we remember movies.
The Corleone mafia runs New York the way the old regimes used to run Sicily; with a firm grip on its family and a choke hold on the rest of the world. Don Vito Corleone, the Godfather, is a man you do not cross, or you invariably wind up dead. You can ask him for favors, he will grant them, nothing is beyond his reach, but he will call upon you one day to return the kindness, and you had better not say no. Vito’s three sons and one daughter are the apples of his eye, and he will do anything to protect them; Sonny, Fredo, Michael, Connie. But when a hit is put out on the Godfather himself, when the pieces rise up to defeat the chess master, his children will be the ones to protect him, with Michael, the youngest son, rising to the occasion to take over the family business.
I assume most people have seen The Godfather, but I think the number of people who have caught parts on TV and have never sat down to experience the entire thing might be larger than we think. Asked to give it a shot now, to really focus for 170 minutes on a movie from the 70s about gangsters, I wonder how many would decline, how many would assume that the story would be too boring; well-made, but boring. I just have a feeling that this contingent exists, but they have very little to worry about; this film absolutely does not disappoint, it’s #1 for a reason, and on the off chance that you have been skeptical before, I nudge you to give it a shot. Classic scene after classic scene, too many excellent, Italian characters to count, murder plots, revenge killings, risings to power; I have never read the Mario Puzo book, but I assume this movie does it total justice. A young Al Pacino is a rising star, Robert Duvall plays Tom Hagen to perfection, and I’ll always love Fredo, he’s a fascinating character, especially as the saga continues. Don’t shy away from Coppola’s masterwork; its vision will knock your socks off and the bandwagon always has room for one more.
