Walt Disney Co. is making massive changes to its movie-release schedule, including canceling the planned August release of “Mulan,” as the coronavirus pandemic continues to roil Hollywood.
Continue Reading Below
Disney said on Thursday it is not only forgoing its planned Aug. 21 premiere of the live-action remake of the animated classic, but is also delaying the release of future installments in the “Avatar” and “Star Wars” series by a year. While “Mulan” doesn’t yet have a new date, Disney said it was moving its next “Avatar” and “Star Wars” movies by around a year each, to 2022 and 2023, respectively.
Hollywood studios have been forced in recent months into a game of wait and see as the effects of the coronavirus upend plans to reopen the economy. This is the third time Disney has had to change its release plans for “Mulan.” However, this is the first time Disney canceled one date without providing a new one.
“Over the last few months, it’s become clear that nothing can be set in stone when it comes to how we release films during this global health crisis,” said a Disney spokesperson by email.
Similar delays at other major Hollywood studios have already forced exhibitors such as AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. to postpone their scheduled reopenings. No major release is now on the calendar until early September, and some exhibitors consider that to be overly optimistic, making it unclear when consumers might return to auditoriums. Some Hollywood executives privately say they don’t expect major releases to come out until at least 2021.
|DIS||WALT DISNEY COMPANY||125.40||-0.59||-0.47%|
|AMC||AMC ENTERTAINMENT HOLDINGS INC||4.86||-0.05||-1.02%|
Earlier this week AT&T Inc.’s Warner Bros. delayed its coming science-fiction thriller “Tenet” indefinitely. The studio is expected to select a new date soon, and when it does, it is likely the $200 million film will open first overseas and then domestically, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The calendar reshuffling changes nearly a decade’s worth of release plans Disney had set for two of its most vital franchises.
Four sequels to “Avatar,” James Cameron’s 2009 blockbuster, were moved back a year, meaning “Avatar 2” will premiere in 2022 and “Avatar 5” in 2028. Disney acquired the franchise in its 2019 purchase of the entertainment assets of 21st Century Fox.

The latest rumors surrounding Nike involve a proposed 31,500-square foot retail store in Miami, Florida that will include a rooftop basketball court and a jogging track. The current space, which is currently a Sherman Williams and Pottery Barn that plans to close in the coming months, will be converted into a massive three-story building. The first two floors will have 17-feet high ceilings and be stocked with retail items. Including the sports deck on the third floor, the height of the impressive structure will be 51-feet tall, which would make it significantly taller than other shops on the same block. Judging by the concept art, the exterior will have a sleek look with laminated glass and metal panels. If things go as planned, Miami Beach will be getting a pretty awesome Swoosh makeover. Head to the next page for a look.

Panama City, Panama — "Consciousness waking, Holy and Whole
Creation's stirring, birthing anew
Now is the time. We are the space
for the Holy to rise in our midst."
— Jan Novotka, "Consciousness Waking"
Tropical sunrise comes early, and so does the order of the day at the Web of Life retreat. Early morning rituals included an invocation of the four directions by David Molineaux, with a pinch of yerba mate from his home in Chile as the offering.
Jan Novotka's song awakened whatever heart might still be slumbering in a simple water ceremony, where each expressed his or her intentions for the day and deposited them in the bowl of water for safekeeping.
Then it was on to the subject of the day: Panama's importance in the history of planet Earth. As it turns out, it's a role that's hard to exaggerate. Nearly 3 million years ago, the iconic land bridge fatefully emerged from the ocean, joined two continents and divided a vast ocean in two. The shift opened a bridge to a massive migration of species, shifted ocean currents, triggered an ice age, and may have even been responsible for creating the conditions that led to the evolution of the human species.
That was the dramatic scenario Patrick Dillon laid out for the group, who were on an eco-spirituatly retreat organized by the Maryknoll Sisters. Dillon worked alongside Frank Gehry as executive architect for the celebrated Biomuseo, or Museum of Biodiversity, in Panama City.
"In some ways, we are all Panamanians," said Dillion, quoting Steven Stanley's Children of the Ice Age in a theme repeated later in the day by museum audio guides.
Dillon, who grew up in the canal zone the third of four brothers, spent the morning with the Web of Life group sharing some of his experience working with the team at the Biomuseo. He recalled the first meeting with the Smithsonian curators in Washington, D.C., when one curator stood up and congratulated the team.
"He found it ironic that the site is on the edge of the Panama Canal, which some consider to be the most monumental transgression of mankind against nature," Dillon said. "What took 3 billion years for nature to put together, man has come and severed."
Dillon said he was taken aback. "I never thought of it in terms of how it disconnects North and South America," he said. "We always talked about how it connected the world."
The challenge in designing the museum was to have an impact that could be grasped in 15 minutes by the casual cruise-line passenger or absorbed in a whole day by a researcher looking for serious information.
Eight galleries and eight "devices of wonder" get the point across with impact. One of the biggest "wow" factors comes with the Panamarama, a three-story, 10-screen IMAX-style experience that carries the viewer to the top of the rainforest canopy with the toucans and morpho butterflies, then plunges them to the depths of the ocean with the whales and coral.
The next "device of wonder" is a jaw-dropping gallery called "Worlds Collide," depicting the Great American Biotic Interchange. A stampede of megafauna looms overhead, capturing Panama at that critical moment in geological history when North and South America, separated by an ocean for 70 million years, were connected. Land sloths the size of elephants, cow-sized armadillos and the terror bird made their way north from South America, while saber-toothed tigers, mastodons and horses headed south. The encounter benefited some species but eradicated others.
"Imagine the first humans arriving in Panama and encountering the land sloths," Dillon said. "They were vegetarians, and they were these slow, lumbering mountains of meat that could easily be slaughtered and barbecued."
Dillon's fascination with the theme led him to many discussions with Anthony Coates of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, a paleogeologist who, according to Dillon, inspired Gehry to build the Biomuseo by telling him the dramatic story of the Panama land bridge.
Coates showed Dillon a model he had made of the Earth's surface over 5 billion years, a form floating in space with a single land mass called Pangaea. It showed how the forces of plate tectonics forced that form into the seven continents, a process that is still at work today.
"I asked Tony, 'Can you show me what happens in the next 5 billion years?' And he said, 'As a matter of fact, I have that model.' " Coates' animation showed everything moving slowly back together over the course of another 5 billion years.
"His animation showed that basically everything comes back to Pangea," Dillon said. "What that suggested to me was a heartbeat — it's just that there's 10 billion years between beats. And what's 10 billion years if you're talking about eternity?"
Dillon doesn't describe himself as a nonbeliever, nor is he a practicing Catholic. Rather, he seems content to let the mystery be.
But his account sparked the imaginations of the Web of Life participants. Clara Meza, a missionary who has been working at the Santa Fe Pastoral Center in Darién for the past three years, found it profoundly moving.
"As I listened to him describe this, it struck me and I said, 'That's God,' " she said.
Ixchel Menéndez, a Panamanian mother of two who has volunteered with the Fundación Nueva Vida for several years, was moved by the museum's exquisite portrayal of the natural world — and stricken by remorse.
"I saw that God created nature so perfectly. It provides for our every need," she said. "And yet when I see a cockroach or a scorpion or a chacacha [gecko], I reach for the Baygon [insect repellent] because I'm afraid. I see the oceans of Panama filled with trash and I feel so ashamed. And then there are these toxic chemicals we are poisoning everything with. There's so much beauty in the world, and we don't know how to appreciate it because of our fear."
Maryknoll Sr. Linda Donovan, who has been living in Chile since 1981, has seen transition on many levels.
"The word going through my mind is 'shift,' " she said. "It's all around me, and I've chosen not to see it."
Panama in many ways is a metaphor for change for her. She said it was an eye-opener "to realize how Panama came to be, and how everything changed because of it."
Molineaux circled back to the Jan Novotka song.
"For me, those words pulled all together: 'This is the time; we are the place.' Our role in all of this is being the place where this all becomes consciously aware."

Biomet, a medical device manufacturer, experienced failures of the ball that fits into the hip replacement implant socket requiring surgery to replace it. Symptoms include hip pain, an audible pop followed by a sensation of grinding, squeaking, limited movement, tissue death, and bone loss.
Other companies also used Biomet’s ball, including Apex Surgical, LLC, DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc., Encore Orthopedics, Inc., Osteoimplant Technology, Inc., Smith & Nephew, Inc., Stryker’s Howmedica Osteonics, and Zimmer, Inc.
If your hip replacement is causing these symptoms, you may have grounds to take legal action against Biomet or the other companies using Biomet’s device.
Contact an attorney who has experience in hip replacement cases and schedule a consultation to determine if you have an actionable case. Most attorneys offer free consultations and many attorneys will handle your case on a contingency basis..
File your lawsuit before the statute of limitations runs out and you are prevented from suing. The statute time begins running when you experience the symptoms so getting legal help quickly is necessary if you have been injured because of a faulty medical device.
By handling hip replacement lawsuits, your attorney has acquired a lot of information that can prove useful in your particular case, including the defense theories Biomet has used previously.
Your attorney will take a number of actions on your behalf to obtain the best possible result for you. These actions include:
After filing your lawsuit, your attorney will also defend the legal motions Biomet raises to keep some evidence from being presented in court.
Your attorney will document your damages including:
Most civil law cases are not decided at trial. To avoid the expense of a trial and an uncertain jury verdict, the parties involved often settle the case for a specific amount of money. At this phase of the legal proceedings, your lawyer’s goal is to get the best settlement possible.

Many small business owners say that social media isn’t their “thing.” They think it is a waste of their time, and they just don’t know how to start or how to keep it going. And besides, they need to focus on actually running their business; not spending time posting pictures online. This is a wrong mentality. As the social media is changing the way people communicate, it is increasingly becoming a vital tool for small businesses. These social platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter are here permanently. While most of these social media platforms began as a way for friends and family to connect, it has become the norm for many types of businesses to have a social media presence. In this connected world, customers research their purchases online and request for recommendations from friends and family. Thus, it is vital for local businesses to have an interactive and vibrant social media presence. Here are a few ideas to expand your brand using social media.
Focus on quality, not quantity
You don’t have to keep posting every time on your social media channels. But, your messages should get out there regularly. However, as a rule of thumb on when and what to post, remember, quality beats quantity. Put it in mind that, when customers shop at small businesses, they need value. Thus, be radical and transparent. Don’t fear to have an online personality, and always give your clients something they will come back for more. Building relationships equates to building your business.
Concentrate on the local community
Experts have proved that marketing through social media can widen your reach and help you create more fans and engage more audience. However, social media marketing isn’t like the traditional marketing where you create a message to the world and hope that someone responds. Social media marketing is conversational and focuses on the idea of a community. It allows a small business to communicate directly with its customers, and it has the power to convert these customers into virtual salespersons. Conversations are a two-way thing. So, ensure you reply to the people interacting with you on the social media channels. Employ social influencers such as bloggers who write for your local clients to read, or people with robust followings. Interacting with the local online community is paramount in social media, and it is one of determinants for your success.
Since you have invested the time, invest some money too. Don’t fear to throw a little money on your social media efforts. If you can, invest some money in Google AdWords to help propel your site to higher search engine ranking results. For this, you will need a particular list of keywords that represent you and that are frequently found on your site. It is vital to have both in mind to get the value for your money. Also, amplify your social media message on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. You can create very specific and targeted ads on these channels with a few clicks of the mouse. So, know your audience, and then share offers, promote posts, gain more followers, and send more traffic to your site.
Use what worked
You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. If your efforts in social media bore fruits, repeat the steps you took and do it again; simple. But if something does not work, change your approach. Remember, if you used a Facebook ad that didn’t work, don’t abandon the idea of advertising on social media. Do it again, this time, redefine your audience or the money you invested in it.
Social media is a marketing tool just like the others that a small business owner can use. Its uniqueness is that it can broaden your reach, engage present and future customers, and heighten your company’s visibility. But it can only work if you do it.

There was a time when Toronto rapper D-Sisive felt people would want to hear goofy rhymes about sodomizing chickens more than about deeply personal issues, like the loss of his mother.
His shows included the chicken bit, a Colonel Sanders costume and a Remy Shand impersonator. That’s going back almost a decade before the man who won SOCAN’s 2009 Echo Songwriting Prize (along with co-writer Muneshine) started writing more seriously and poignantly, on such releases as 2008’s The B.O.O.K. and 2009’s Let The Children Die. He was signed to EMI Music Publishing Canada back then and landed on the cover of Toronto weekly Now magazine, which named him 2001’s Best Unsigned Artist.
“I was the court jester at the time,” says D-Sisive, whose real name is Derek Christoff. “[EMI] saw potential through the plush mascot costumes, but that’s who I was then. I was more interested in making people laugh or trying odd theatrics… Looking back now, I think it was the result of having nothing to say.”
Then his life took a tragic turn, leading to a seven-year creative drought. “It started when my father’s drinking took a turn for the worse,” he says. “It used to be beer only; it became hard liquor, no eating. It affected his health. I was the only person taking care of him. I had no interest in writing songs between trips to hospitals or drunken fights. Very draining.”
When his mother died, he was able to stay creative because he had his father to keep everything together. “When he died? I didn’t have anyone, » says D-Sisive. « I feel like I had to go through what I went through in order to evolve into the person and the songwriter I am now.”
His inspiration was restored one night after he returned to live in the Oakwood neighbourhood where he had grown up. Listening to the Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds, he wrote the first verse to his song “Brian Wilson,” which would appear on his eventual comeback, The B.O.O.K.
“From there, I wrote ‘Knee Caps,’ » says the twice-Juno-nominated rapper. « I just dove into the more personal side of writing, which was weird for me at first because I always felt that nobody would want to hear my story. Then once I started doing it, it was non-stop.
“Everything that I talk about in my songs is 100 percent truthful. I don’t exaggerate anything and I don’t hold anything back… I’m just grateful that I stumbled upon that style of writing because that’s what has separated me from the rest of the Canadian hip-hop scene.”
D-Sisive’s new album, Run With The Creeps, is out in November. One hundred percent truthful? He’s running with creeps? “Yes,” he laughs. “There are a bunch of creeps running a marathon.”
• D-Sisive has started a blog to document the creative process of his next album at runwiththecreeps.com
• A planned collaboration with Buck 65 called The Ricardo Christoff Apparatus “will happen”; the pair released “The Night Before Christmas” in December 2010
• His Hijack Series includes a mash-up of Deadmau5’ “A City In Florida” put to his “Graffitti Wall” and “If I Live To See Tomorrow” written to Sigur Ros’ “Festival.”

Scientists in the US have developed a powerful new genome editing system that could offer significantly more precision and efficiency than the current CRISPR standard.
While CRISPR-Cas9 is a revolutionary medical technology that lay the modern foundations for editing genetic code – including variants associated with the disease – there have long been concerns over its potential for imprecision.
Specifically, many fear that CRISPR-Cas9 editing carries the potential to introduce errors in the form of uncontrolled insertions and deletions in genetic code, called indels.
Researchers say the new system, dubbed ‘prime editing’ by its inventors at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard University, could change the game thanks to a new protein that enables high-precision edits of genetic targets.
“A major aspiration in the molecular life sciences is the ability to precisely make any change to the genome in any location,” says genome biologist David Liu from the Broad Institute.
“We’re not aware of another editing technology in mammalian cells that offers this level of versatility and precision with so few byproducts.”
The basis of the new prime editing method is an enzyme called reverse transcriptase. The CRISPR system also uses an enzyme – Cas9 – to cut DNA strands, so that alternative genetic code can be inserted.
Now, thanks to reverse transcriptase, which is used in conjunction with Cas9 in prime editing, genomic editing has been upgraded again.
In prime editing, a guide RNA called pegRNA guides a modified form of the Cas9 enzyme to snip only a single strand of DNA (preventing the double-strand breaks that can induce unintended disruptions).
After this, the reverse transcriptase enzyme directly copies the edited genetic information contained in the pegRNA to the targeted genomic site.

Ardcairn House Student Residences
This mixed-use Student Accommodation development is situated at the junction of Brunswick Street and Grangegorman Lower, Dublin 7. The development varies between 4, 5 and 6 storey blocks and provides 571 bed spaces, a large outdoor courtyard, gym and various ancillary spaces for student use. A large retail unit to Brunswick Street and 3no. smaller retail units to Grangegorman Lower are also provided within the development. The main entrance and reception area is located on Grangegorman Lower. The design intent for the main Grangegorman elevation is to provide movement along the facade as the building climbs up the change in level from south to north. The main façade material is brickwork with a stonework base plinth, which is set back from the brick face. The stonework plinth is cranked to focus access to the undercroft entrance area. The aluminium windows include feature grilles at the opening sections which allows maximum ventilation yet limits any requirements for restrictors. The courtyard, which is located at first floor podium level provides a high quality outdoor amenity area and also provides entries to six of the blocks. The seventh block is accessed from the ground floor adjacent to the main entrance. The primary challenge of this design was to be space efficient while providing high quality living areas for students. This was provided by designing generous communal living / kitchen areas and keeping area dedicated to circulation to a minimum.
|Client:||GSA (Global Student Accommodation)|
|Floor Area:||21,000 sqm|
|Commencement on site:||January 2017|
|Completion Date:||June 2018|

11 Chilling Photos Of The Snow In Alberta That Prove 'Spring' Isn't A Thing Here
A story, a tragedy. ❄️
Mother Nature forgets about at least one of the seasons every year in Alberta. It looks like Alberta will be skipping Spring this year. If those little glimpses of the sun got you excited for patio season, you might have to wait a little while longer. As it stands, Alberta's weather is a wet, snowy mess, and we have photos to prove it.
Let's face it: we. Snow in March, April, and even May isn't uncommon in these parts. When has Alberta ever followed the rules when it comes to conventional weather patterns?
We've had a long, brutal, and, so it's about time we catch a break on the weather front. But it looks like a good, old-fashioned snow dump is always lurking.
Parts of Alberta including Calgary and surrounding areas got some serious snow on April 14 and 15. Even though we're technically well into the spring season.
We did enjoy a few days of sunny weather but really, that was just a false glimmer of hope.
Thankfully, Alberta's wild and unpredictable weather situation isn't getting the best of locals like it usually does. Since most of us are staying home nowadays, we can actually have a sense of humour about this miserable weather without having to go out in it.
And thanks to some chilling photos, we can prove that spring is just a foreign concept in Alberta. Winter is always going to be in the driver's seat.
For most other regions in western Canada, spring means, singing birds, and trendy spring fashion. But with this sort of weather, we're going to have to pull our winter jackets out of our closets yet again.
The Weather Network reported that "cooler air" is set to move in, and that means we will continue to see snow or a weird mix of rain and snow for the entire day on Wednesday, April 15.
The heaviest amount of snow will accumulate in the Rockies and the foothills, with Banff, Kananaskis, and Clearwater county set to receive between 10 and 15 centimetres of snow.
However, the weather is supposed to get milder over the course of the week. Certain parts of Southern Alberta could even get up to double-digit temperatures by Thursday and Friday.
But really, if you've been in Alberta for long enough, you know you can never predict when things will go south in terms of the thermometer.
We don't know about you, but weather like this makes us want to go into instant hibernation.
So unless you really have to go outside for essential reasons, you can just kick back and watch the snow fall for the rest of the day.

Charles Sturt University will invest $46 million on stage 2 of its Port Macquarie campus.
Vice-Chancellor Professor Andrew Vann made the announcement on Thursday, February 7.
The state government will also contribute a further $15m to the project.
Prof Vann said the delivery of stage 2 was brought on by the enormous success of the Port Macquarie campus.
"We have been pleasantly surprised by the growth at the campus," he said.
"At CSU we believe that we must not stand still and that we need to make things happen.
"Thanks to all our staff we have made an enormous difference to the Port Macquarie community.
"Our role is to create a campus that is fit for the future for Port Macquarie and the Mid-North Coast.
"This next stage of growth will be developed on the southern side of the existing campus," he said.
"Once completed in 2021 it will be roughly a replica of the existing buildings - doubling the size. We expect a further 400 international students to be part of family."
Prof Vann acknowledged there were risks involved in bringing the CSU campus to Port Macquarie.
"But it was plain to see from the work that we had done that there was a real need in this community to advance higher education in this region," he added.
Stage 2 will include classrooms that are flexible and allow diverse area suitable for small group work.
Bachelor of Nursing will be offered in 2020 which will see more specialist labs provided.
The Port Macquarie campus currently boasts some 1000 students. The projected numbers will rise to 2800 once stage 2 comes online.
Once established, CSU is likely to inject $80m per year into the community.
With student accommodation running out, Prof Vann said that will be another area of expansion.
"It will also help build a strong sense of community," he added.
Port Macquarie MP Leslie Williams described the success of CSU in Port Macquarie as an all round great story.
"This expansion brings opportunity for students and the creation of local jobs," she said.
"It is also exciting to see the expansion of more courses, particularly the bachelor of nursing along with emergency services' courses.
"CSU is successful because of its engagement with the community.
"That engagement involved CSU understanding what this community wanted from their university," she said.
"We also know that students are attending this campus from our local region who would simply not have had that opportunity.
"For some, they are a first in family to start their university studies."
Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research, Development and Industry, Professor Heather Cavanagh said the announcement cements that CSU is here to stay and here to grow.
"This announcement reflects CSU's commitment to community and to regional workforce planning," she said.
"We are aware of our responsibility to contribute to the regional economy while (CSU's success) is testament to the community because they have supported the university from the word go.
We are aware of our responsibility to contribute to the regional economy while (CSU's success) is testament to the community because they have supported the university from the word go.Professor Heather Cavanagh
"It became an almost immediate partnership and it took everyone by surprise.
"The community is using this campus more and more," she said.
"As well, when we go to the community for an event or for assistance, the people bend over backwards to help."
Along with the Bachelor of Nursing, Prof Cavanagh said she was pleased to see a range of science courses being provided in stage 2 while health courses and social and humanities courses would expand.
"Stage 2 will let us provide more offerings for the local community," she added.
Prof Cavanagh said CSU regularly consults with the community regarding their future workforce planning shortages and where those shortfalls are.
"We consistently have the highest graduate employment rate in the country. We do that because we make sure our graduates can get jobs," she said.
"If we can continue to provide graduates in jobs in regional Australia that is a win-win situation."
Prof Vann said CSU would instigate discussions with Port Macquarie-Hastings Council and stakeholders on the education master plan for the area.

Horizontal Impact Crushers (HSI) are designed for high volume and high reduction ratio impact crushing. They are particularly suitable for limestone or in applications where typical compression crushers such as Jaw and Cone would have difficulty in dealing high clay content or meet strict particle shape requirements. Horizontal Impact Crushers are generously and properly designed for primary crushing in a wide range of applications when processing low abrasive materials. These machines are known for their unique ability to process rocks at reduction ratios up to 16 to 1.
HIS Crushers (Horizontal Shaft Impact crusher) are widely used for sand and rock producing in the industry of roads, railways, reservoir, electricity power and building materials and so on with cubical shape.
The HSI crushers break rock by impacting the rock with hammers that are fixed upon the outer edge of a spinning rotor. HSI’s are used in recycling, hard rock and soft materials. In earlier years the practical use of HSI crushers is limited to soft materials and non abrasive materials, such as limestone, phosphate, gypsum, weathered shales, however improvements in metallurgy have changed the application of these machines.

The U.S. Air Force is implementing performance-based practices in its service contracts to improve quality and reduce costs. Earlier Project AIR FORCE research examined implementation in installation support services. The project has now examined purchased services that support weapon system development and sustainment (‘systems’ services). Under performance-based services acquisition (PBSA), buyers should (1) describe what service is desired (not how to do it), (2) use measurable performance standards and quality assurance plans, (3) specify procedures for reductions in fee or price when services do not meet contract requirements, and (4) include performance incentives where appropriate. The authors conducted interviews at an Air Logistics Center and a Product Center to learn whether and how service contracts included these performance-based practices. Many at the two Centers felt that it is difficult for systems service contracts to satisfy all four of the PBSA criteria. To satisfy the requirement to use “measurable performance standards,” for example, some personnel believe that the desired result of a service must be known in advance and objective data must be collected frequently to measure performance against that result. This cannot be easily done for many systems services such as engineering support and advisory and assistance services. Despite this difficulty, however, both Centers use a performance-based approach (applying the other three criteria) to purchase many services, and many personnel felt that they can determine and convey whether the contractor met their needs.

This is such an effortless chic look to bring in the New Year with style and grace, even Victoria Beckham would approve.

Coordinated with an embellished metallic beaded bag from Reiss and a shimmering chandelier earring from J.Crew, you will be ready to dance the night away.
This is also a great dress for breast-feeding mamas, and it can be easily transformed into a day look with a simple pair of sandals.

Two reviews in the local paper of Butterfly so far. Night and day. One of them, very knowledgeable, accurate, insightful, perhaps expecting a bit too much, but not unfair; the other a huge rave which of course I love, but perhaps a bit over the top ... it was once the case that whenever I performed here, the review, if there was one at all, was mostly about what some Khunying was wearing, but it must now be said, I think, that for the first time in many years there are reviewers who know what they're talking about. Or at least have a vague idea. At least they're not only talking about the size of khunying so and so's pearls.
All the "wannabes" must be quaking in their boots.
Now, I am in Singapore, having paid big bucks to get the best seats for the opening night of Ivan Heng's new play. Horribly enough, I had to stay up all night to catch the morning flight to SIngapore. So when I got to the Hilton I decided to take a little nap ... and missed the play! Oh well, I will go tomorrow. I know that opening nights are always full of glitches. I know this from experience ... don't we all?

What To Do If Your Property Isn’t Selling – And You Need to Move Quick!
Waiting for an offer to be made on your home can be incredibly taxing and stressful – particularly if the property has been stuck on the market for a long period.
If a ‘For Sale’ sign has been outside your home for months, or even years, and there’s still no bite, perhaps it’s time to take a step back and look at your options from a fresh perspective.
You might be wondering, ‘why is my house not selling?’. Here are three alternative courses of action which could help to turn the situation around quickly for you.
If you’re looking for a speedy sale or a guarantee that your buyer won’t fall through, then auctioning your property is a safe route to take. Once the highest bid has been made and the hammer falls, the buyer must put down a 10% deposit immediately – after which they have a month to give you the remaining 90%.
Although auctions can offer you a quick house sale, you must be prepared to start the auction at a lower price than which it is currently on the market for.
Demand at an auction from multiple buyers can help to drive up the price of a property, so make sure that your property is marketed extensively in the lead up to the auction date – as this will help to generate as much interest as possible.
SELL TO A HOME-BUYING SERVICE
Some homeowners may find themselves in a situation where they need a quick house sale – whether that’s due to a job relocation, inheriting a property unexpectedly or family matters – but the offers just aren’t coming in. Home-buying companies offer a genuine fast-sale service and can act as a lifeline for people who unexpectedly find themselves in a position where they need to sell their property fast.
WeBuyAnyHome is a private home-buying company, which is there to help homeowners who are struggling to sell a property or need to sell quickly. It sets itself apart from the conventional methods of selling a home (for example, through an estate agent), by providing an initial offer on your property within just 24 hours of contact – and enabling completion on your house sale in as little as seven days. So, within a few weeks, you could be packing your bag and moving onto pastures new!
RENT IT OUT
As an alternative to selling your home, you may wish to consider renting the property out. It’s likely that you will be able to source tenants within a matter of days – unlike selling the property with an estate agent which can be a much longer, drawn-out process.
If you do decide to rent out the property, it’s important to remember that you will have to pay tax on any profit you make from the rental income. However, even if you don’t receive enough rent to cover your mortgage each month, paying a small amount of negative cash flow is much kinder to your bank account and overall capital than paying out thousands of pounds for a house that you’re not living in, or are unable to sell in the current market. Renting your house out can earn you money while waiting for potential buyers. In the meantime, house prices might rise too.
Make sure to market your property on reputable property websites. You must be willing to rent out the property for at least six months, keep the house in good repair, and have a full understanding of the legalities of being a landlord.

30. WILCO- SUMMERTEETH (1999)
Wilco at their most power pop- this was the Chicago band’s 2nd great album in route to their masterpiece in 2002. “Summer Teeth” was the perfect middle ground between the alt country of their earlier records and the experimental music to come. Their sunny melodies are sharply contrasted by their darkest, bleakest lyrics to date.
29. PAVEMENT- CROOKED RAIN, CROOKED RAIN (1994)
Buy AmazonCrooked Rain, Crooked Rain
“Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain” was Pavement’s second masterpiece in as many albums. With “Crooked” Pavement cleaned up their sound, ditching the lo-fi tape hiss, firing their original drummer and going for a bigger and better mastering job all around. Left is their esoteric, yet intelligent lyrics and slacker vibe but with a decidedly more accessible sound. They even had a big college radio hit with “Cut My Hair”. There is hardly a miss on the whole album.
Buy “Cut Your Hair”
28. SONIC YOUTH- DIRTY (1992)
The closest the Youth ever got to mainstream success. “Dirty” came out right during the grunge/alternative rock explosion that the Youth helped implement. “Dirty” is unfairly maligned as a grab for mainstream bucks. It’s severely underrated and I believe, stands as one of their very best releases to date. “100%” and “Sugar Kane” are two of their biggest singles and anthems and they also hit hard at social issues with tracks like “Youth Against Facism” (Clarence Thomas & Anita Hill) and “Swimsuit Issue”.
Buy “Sugar Kane”
27. NIRVANA- IN UTERO (1993)
Buy AmazonIn Utero
Nirvana followed up their Butch Vig produced, world changing, smash hit by tapping Chicago post hardcore indie-producer Steve Albini and making the least accessible album they possibly could. Despite that, Kurt & co. couldn’t help but write brilliant and catchy tunes and they ended up finding commercial success with “In Utero” anyway. It was, however, a much more abrasive album than “Nevermind” and cemented the band’s status as an uncompromising and challenging band. Sadly this would be their last studio album before Cobain’s death in 1994 which ended the band for good.
Buy “Serve the Servants”
26. THE PIXIES- TROMPE LE MONDE (1991)
Buy AmazonTrompe le Monde
The Pixies swan song, which was considered a de-facto Black Francis solo album as bassist Kim Deal did barely any singing and no song writing whatsoever. Francis takes the band out with a bang as this is one of The Pixies most hard hitting albums. He focuses his writing on subjects such as outer space, the ocean & mathematics. Though he would have some critical solo success in the coming years he would never better this album.
25. BLUR- PARKLIFE (1994)
“Parklife”, along with the Oasis debut “Definitely Maybe” ushered in the British Brit-pop era. “Parklife” was the far superior album- running through practically the entire history of British music since the late 60’s and launching Blur from a great to a classic band. “Parklife” the album was probably Blur’s greatest triumph and was also seen as the defining album in describing Tony Blair’s hopeful and forward-looking England in the mid 90’s before he was brought down at least in part for his ties with American president W. Bush.
24. JAY-Z- REASONABLE DOUBT (1996)
Buy AmazonReasonable Doubt
The debut release for what would eventually become one of the longest and most successful careers in rap history. Jay creates the template that he would follow throughout the next decade and a half- he raps about growing up in the projects and finding his way out of the ghetto through street hustling and then rapping. Through his lyrics he is able to show the similarities between the two. Rather than focusing on the bleak and violent side of hustling, he celebrates leaving the projects and entering a life of superstardom. Jay-Z is a true ghetto capitalist with some of the best lyrics writing and rhyme flow in the rap game.
Buy AmazonExile in Guyville
The Chicago singer singwriter’s debut came out of nowhere to become one of the most influential and best female debuts (and album’s period) in the history of rock n’ roll. The songs that make up “Exile” were initially recorded on Phair’s home cassettes and Phair had been perfecting them over the course of several years. The music runs the gamut from stripped down acoustic folk, to experimental art rock to power pop, to harder hitting indie-rock. The lyrics are extremely sexually frank and from a feminist perspective- a rarity for a female musician- particularly in the male dominated landscape of indie rock. Phair would go on to make one really good and one pretty good record before failing miserably (critically more than commercially) at various stabs of mainstream pop success.
Buy AmazonLive Through This
Hole’s second album was a gigantic leap forward after their anti-commercial debut “Pretty On the Inside” several years earlier. Many thought it was lead singer Courtney Love’s attempt to compete critically and commercially with her husband’s (Kurt Cobain) band Nirvana. “Live Through This” eerily came out exactly a week after Cobain’s suicide on April 5th. Love’s pained lyrics seem to predict Cobain’s death. The album’s hooks are undeniable and no matter how reviled Love is as a person, it’s tough not to recognize “Live Through This” as a grunge era classic.
Buy AmazonFear of a Black Planet
PE’s 2nd straight out masterpiece in a row. The groundbreaking rap debuted several of rap’s all time great singles before the album release of “Planet” with “Fight the Power” the centerpiece of the brilliant and incendiary Spike Lee joint “Do the Right Thing” a year earlier. They almost matched it with lead single “Welcome to the Terrordome”. Though “Planet” may not match the peaks of 1988’s “It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back”- to my mind the greatest rap album ever recorded- it still was great in its own right and the Bomb Squad (PE’s production crew) soared to new heights with “Planet” being their most sonically innovative release to date. The beginning of the 90’s was the tail end of an era where music samples could be used at a producer’s leisure. Once clearing samples became big business rap would have trouble matching the era’s creative highs- at least musically.

Several perks come with being a pet owner. You get a companion and a furry little from the pet you own. Being a pet owner also comes with many responsibilities and it is important to make sure you are up to the task before becoming a pet owner. You can become a pet owner in several ways. Adoption and choosing are some of the ways you can become a pet owner. Offering your home to a pet is very important. However, you may have a dog breed in mind that you desire to own. This is where the services of a dog breeder come in. There are many dog breeds available. The personality and the appearance of the dog are determined by its breed. A golden retriever is a breed that is loved by many people. Golden retrievers are intelligent and affectionate. They are also playful and gentle with kids and this makes them an ideal household pet. There are many golden retriever breeders in the market. It is important to be careful when you are choosing one. Here are some of the tips you should consider when choosing a golden retriever breeder.
The reputation of the dog breeder is an important consideration. Your dog breeder should have a great reputation in the market. The traits and the character of a dog will be highly influenced by the home it says in during its first few weeks as a puppy. A golden retriever that has been in a good home will have a great personality. A reputable dog breeder will offer you all the information you need about the pet. They will be aware of the traits of the pet and match the golden retriever with the right home. A reputable golden retriever will not only be keen on selling you the pet, but they will also want to learn more about you. Dog breeders who are concerned about their dog will want to find good homes for them. Recommendations can also help you find a reputable dog breeder. A friend or relative who recently used the services of a dog breeder can recommend one.
Distance should not be an issue when you are selecting a pet breeder. However, when choosing a dog breeder that lives far away from you, you should be careful. It is easy to fall prey to disreputable dog breeders who are only out to scam you. Photos and videos are important since they let you see the dog you are going to call yours. However, they are not enough. Having a Skype session with the pet is also important. You will be able to see the dog this way.
The golden retriever breeder you select should offer you all the information needed about the dog. Information about vaccines, grooming and visiting the vet should also be offered by the breeder. You should also get documentation that shows the golden retriever has received all the necessary vaccines. Other necessary paperwork should also be offered. Consider these tips when choosing a golden retriever breeder.

The key phrase "marriage agency" with attractive better halves sounds fairly solid. As method programs, it is actually relationship organizations that take the best coming from the approaches of job of their ancestors as well as enhance them with knowledge of psychology and also a modern strategy to company, achieve effectiveness more often. This is mainly due to a truly specific method per customer and also personal relationship along with all candidates, which basic dating web sites may certainly not provide.
What is actually a mail order bride? It’& rsquo; s a girl who desire to become wife. Why should you search for a bride along with mail order brides dating?
To receive acquainted along with the future husband in the request after numerous “& ldquo; swipe & rdquo;-you will definitely not stun anyone today. But to discover a really loved one in a marital relationship agency - it appears a little bit of unusual. Although that technology has tipped far forward, beliefs regarding relationship organizations have certainly not modified for twenty years.
Fallacy One: Free Internet Dating Sites Get Rid Of Relationship Agencies
Definitely a person will ask yes: What for to visit the marital relationship firm with mail order brides and also a lot more thus pay him when everybody possesses a smart device along with Net in their pocket? It may seem astonishing, yet the marriage organizations are actually now in their 2nd youth in 2019. Individuals overstated complimentary dating sites, tired of the unfilled ringing and also fraud that rule there. Almost each day some online brides happened here given that they have presently undergone communication along with a relationship con man, sex-related freaks, or even wed guys impersonating free of charge bridegrooms on dating sites. Today, the knowledge as well as reliability of the source is actually enjoyed. People agree to spend to those whom they think about to be professional - featuring in producing a loved ones and howould help them to discover a bride. Moreover, in International countries, for example, it is actually stylish to relate to a marriage organization for mail order wives, as well as in Eastern nations it is actually even an honor.
Belief two: loss men, seeking a wife, resort to marital relationship agencies. Daring as well as stunning and also can easily satisfy your own self
In post Soviet nations the lifestyle of marital relationship organizations forsearch for gals is actually still cultivating. Our males, essentially, are self-conscious to resort to matchmaker. Male resort to foreign marriage agencies with web brides readily - without fear and disapproval. And if our experts evaluate the profile pages of foreign partners, our company will definitely see that a lot of all of them achieve success, well-off as well as major adult guys - businessmen, supervisors, public servers, developers, learning as well as health care laborers. They end an agreement that accurately sets out the objective: marital relationship. They not merely pay off the fee to their matchmaker (relationship instructor), but likewise settle all the costs associated with the time: an interpreter, airplane tickets and hotel accommodation - both for themselves and also for the girl.
Belief three: a relationship firm - a muddy office. Directed someplace right into restraint and afterwards you will definitely certainly not come back to your birthplace
Yes, as well as such a viewpoint likewise occurs. In fact, a genuine marriage organization is certainly not only an Instagram account along with appealing photos. This is actually a registered provider along with a workplace, charter, rules, authorized arrangements. Today, when the planet is straightforward and also practically all riddled along with a body of reviews and recommendations, to offer some dubious marriage scams is to place an end to their activities. In a concern of hours, details regarding an unscrupulous strategy will be actually dispersed around the globe with the aid of socials media. And if on a free of charge dating internet site you can transform your profile page daily as well as start black angling on gullible lonely girls once again, after that in a relationship organization which possesses an aim to locate perfect mail order bride, image is the main market value.
Fallacy 4: to wed a foreigner mail order bride requires to know English completely
Obviously, excellent understanding of English are going to aid a gal who would like to wed a foreigner. Having said that, the main factor is to fallin love. Regardless of how routine it seems, the main point is to discover your very own person. And "your" as well as a male in love will certainly not be actually irritated in your college English. He is going to not just obey your degree of language, however will definitely even aid you master it - both worldwide British as well as your local area one. For instance, if he is actually Italian, French, or Belgian.
Fallacy five: Slavic mail order brides are actually the greatest
Maybe currently I will definitely let down a person, however still I will certainly point out: Slavic women are the same as the ladies of the remainder of the world, particularly, various. As well as men are different too. Luckily, the world levels today: airplanes soar to all corners of the planet, visas are provided, worldwide marriages are enabled. The major boundaries as well as stereotypes in our scalps. If you view the people of an International urban area, you are going to find a large amount of mixed couples. Such an opportunity - such a chance!
Mail order brides cost: just how much is actually a bride?
When it comes to the mail order bride costs, it’& rsquo; s always realistic as well as depends upon the requirements and also assumptions of the client. For everyone here is offered personal strategy, so the cost for effective marital relationship with warm bride can easily reach a few manies thousand usd. A lot of women wish to find other half and also are actually searching for marriage, yet high-ranking solution can easily’& rsquo; t be actually low-priced all the same.
Exactly how well-liked are actually mail order bride companies?
Both males and females claim that discovering a person for an usual future in day-to-day lifestyle is actually impeded through job - a number of these people are successful, have their personal business as well as work hard. And also besides work, they typically discuss disappointment in on the internet courting.
They likewise say that in their social cycle they perform not observe any person along with whom lifestyle can be hooked up. And also it’& rsquo; s real if the lifeschedule is set up and an individual performs not transcend it. Everybody comprehends that brand-new leisure activities, company vacations, meetings substantially increase the possibilities of an enchanting neighbor, couple of individuals consider the organization as the only way. They come to our team for an additional possibility, for info. Because the readiness of clients that get in touch with agency, is higher. They are actually stimulated. No one will come as well as pay only for the service, they have a target, there is actually a readiness.
The company with foreign brides works as a guarantor of safety: each client gives an identification record. Who can assure just about anything on a going out with site? And also naturally, frustration is actually frequently associated with unwarranted requirements.
You can easily find "your" individual on the net, but for this you are going to need to refine a massive volume of information, there will definitely be actually a ton of excessive as well as unpleasant communication, needless and also ineffective contacts. Our company act based upon the wishes of the customer: there is actually age, stated condition, relevant information regarding kids - that is actually often of great significance. No person desires to waste the heart. As well as these filters filter out unnecessary dating.

When my father was 93, riddled with cancer, chronically nauseated, and living on opioids he suffered a major heart attack. In the hospital, doctors determined his death was imminent but didn’t tell him. Dad denied his condition was serious. He was furious to be given a room on the heart ward instead of the ICU.
Dad had signed a DNR (do not resuscitate) and disclaimed extraordinary measures. But he changed his mind when push came to shove. He raged for two days until, at my request, a female resident physician sat beside Dad’s bed and gently told him the truth. Then he agreed to accept palliative (comfort) care. He needed to hear his time was short and he could control how it was spent.
Palliative care (with or without Hospice) can be received in a hospital, a nursing home, or the patient’s own home. This care focuses on comfort and pain relief. Surprisingly, comfort care often extends a seriously ill patient’s life beyond expectations, perhaps because it allows him to set his own priorities as the end approaches. He might continue to attend church, meet a new grandchild, participate in a daughter’s wedding, or celebrate a family holiday. [Read more…]

From John 4:1-41
Dear friends, how are you doing? How is it with your soul? How are you coping with adjusting to all the new normals in this time of Corona Virus?
If you’re like me you may have felt your emotions ping-ponging around like a ball in a pinball machine, bouncing from one fear to another. And truth be told, there are many legitimate reasons to feel afraid right now.
I confess that most days I am blind to God’s presence holding all of this together. My eyes are down in the weeds of the latest headline, or wondering how long our food—much less our toilet paper!–will last before we have to go back to the grocery store, or fear about our jobs (which can mean simultaneously being afraid of going back out there to work AND getting laid off), or worrying about the health of family members, friends, co-workers, those living on our streets, those in our prisons, those in senior living facilities, healthcare workers, first responders, and many of you, my dear Welcome Table family.
And so here we are, navigating a time that is full of fear.
Scripture tells us that God is love, and that Perfect Love casts out fear. So in this time of so much fear, how do we connect with that Holy Love, and invite that Love to calm our souls?
Some wise person once said, “Don’t let yesterday and tomorrow rob you of today.”
The truth is all we have—and all we’ve really ever had—is today, here and now, this very moment. God with us, in us, around us, through us, holding us, connecting us.
In the few moments I am present to the here and now, I feel like I can see God. I can rest in Divine Love. Here and now, I am okay. And you are okay. And we are more than okay, because here and now, we are here together. And I feel overwhelmed by gratitude. This gratitude is so powerful that I feel it casting out the fear that has taken up residence in the pit of my stomach, and replacing it with a sense of warmth, and wellbeing, and love. Right now, I invite you to take a moment to breathe in gratitude, and breathe out the fear. Gratitude in, fear out.
For Lent we are asking that beautiful question from Mary Oliver’s poem: What will you do with your one wild and precious life? With this one wild and precious day? This one wild and precious moment? This bird in the tree branch; that grasshopper in the grass; this baby, held in her parent’s arms? All the moments held together by a creative force of love so big and pervasive and all-suffusing that it’s like the air we breathe, and we don’t even see it most days?
I for one am so deeply grateful that you and I and Spirit have chosen to be in Communion together. I can’t literally see you, but I can see you through the love of God connecting us in the Spirit.
To close I offer this song that Liz Lang and I sing in our Threshold Choir and which we have sung to many folks at the bedside. Usually we sing it using the “A” word, but since it’s Lent we’ll use “Hosanna” instead. The words are,
“In this moment, there is love.
There is love.”

The winter transfer window: when January becomes a month filled with rumors and speculation as to what renowned European teams will spend millions to recruit world class players. Fans become more attentive to the news outlets, waiting to get word of a potential headlining transfer taking place.
This was not the case last month as the “Big 5” leagues in Europe, consisting of the English Premier League, Italian Serie A, Spanish La Liga, German Bundesliga, and French Ligue 1 collectively spent less money on transfers this winter transfer window compared to last year, according to a report from the FIFA Transfer Matching System (TMS).
If there was any notable news circulating through Europe relatable to transfers, it revolved around a manager as opposed to a player. Manchester City announced the appointment of current Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola as the new club’s manager at the beginning of the 2016-2017 Premier league season, replacing current coach Manuel Pellegrini.
While the “Big 5” remained fairly quiet the past month, China decided to flex its financial muscle in the transfer market when multiple clubs from the Chinese Super League signed seasoned veterans and upcoming stars in European soccer to lucrative contracts. The most notable players to make their way to China were:
Shakhtar Donetsk –>> Jiangsu Suning ($56.5m) (2/5/16)
Sevilla FC –>> Hebei China Fortune FC (UNDISCLOSED) (2/5/16)
Atletico Madrid –>> Guangzhou Evergrande ($47.5m) (2/3/16)
AS Roma –>> Hebei China Fortune FC ($20m) (1/27/16)
FC Internazionale –>> Hebei China Fortune FC (UNDISCLOSED) (1/27/16)
Chelsea FC –>> Jiangsu Suning ($24m) (1/27/16)
The Premier League, most notably, recently signed an unprecedented £8.3bn ($12bn) deal with British TV companies to broadcast league matches. As a result, all Premier League teams make a greater profit, providing them with more money to spend on desired transfer targets.
Teams accustomed to finishing in the middle of the table or below benefitted tremendously from this deal as it provided them with the necessary financial backing to rub shoulders with the “big clubs”. With the form and results displayed by teams recently promoted to the Premier League this season (Watford FC, AFC Bournemouth, Norwich City) along with those who traditionally finish lower in the standings at season’s end, having a little extra in the war chest to spend has made a difference. The Premier League could comfortably assume itself as the most profitable league capable of providing the most entertaining product to a yearning audience.
Despite its inception only dating back to 2004, however, the Chinese Super League turned many heads around the world over the last few weeks, particularly that of Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger. The Frenchman has already expressed concern of the influence the Chinese Super League can have over the Premier League and European soccer altogether.
“Yes, of course, the Premier League should be worried,” Wenger commented. “Because China looks to have the financial power to move a whole league of Europe to China… I don’t know how deep the desire in China is [to create a world class league], but if there’s a very strong political desire, we should worry.”
Wenger was asked whether China would inflate the transfer market in Europe, raising the price tag even further on highly coveted players, saying, “Yes, they could… I am sure that soon the £100m target will be easy to reach. (The Guardian)”
The transfer window has been shut for the “Big 5” as of February 1st (England) and 2nd (Italy, Spain, Germany, France). China, however, has until February 26th to continue on with transfer business, leaving plenty of room for speculation as to what other high-profile players will be lured to the big money contracts they have to offer.

The Defence White Paper of Apr 1957 heralded the biggest changes in military policy. To counteract the threat of a nuclear attack, the Ministry of Defence chose nuclear deterrence against maintaining a large conventional force.
Military conscription ended and troop numbers were cut. The combined strength of the three Services was to fall from 690,000 in 1957 to 375,000 by the end of 1962.
The Maltese economy which had been intertwined with defence spending suffered a major blow. The Services not only employed 27% of the work force, but also Forces spending provided four-fifths of its foreign exchange. As a consequence of defence cuts, the Admiralty had excess dockyard capacity and closed its dockyard in Malta.
David Bruce Military Hospital
On 13 Nov 1957, the Families Wing of the David Bruce Military Hospital delivered its 1000th baby. It set a new record in the highest number of births delivered in any service hospital anywhere since the beginning of 1957.
These 1000 babies came from the following services: 500 Royal Navy, 160 Army, 150 Maltese personnel, with the rest from the RAF, Dockyard, Admiralty officers at the RN W/T Station Dingli.
The number of deliveries by the end of the year was expected to rise to 1150 babies. The 1000th baby of 1957 was a boy delivered by QARANC Sister P R Duffy. The baby weighed 9lbs 30 ozs. His proud mum was Mrs Marjorie Farnworth, from Wigan Lancs, wife of Bdr Fairworth 37 HAA Regt RA. Mrs Farnworth was a mother of seven children.
To commemorate the event, Lt Col R J Gray, OC DBMH presented the baby with an inscribed silver tankard. The Maternity Wing was among the largest and certainly the most hard working department overseas. A new maternity wing was planned for Mtarfa conditional on funds being voted upon in defence estimates.

Morning Announcements: September 21, 2010
September 21, 2010 04:21 pm
While some states — including Georgia and Idaho — and virtual schools are requiring that online teachers have additional training to teach in a solely virtual environment, many states and education groups still have not addressed the issue of teacher quality for the online classroom, according to Education Week.
Many Michigan districts are not expected to save as much money as anticipated when the state offered incentives for experienced teachers to retire early, according to the Detroit Free Press. “About 17,000 teachers statewide left their classrooms, making way — many thought — for newer teachers at lower salaries to help balance school budgets…But many districts chose to hire based on experience rather than offer jobs to new college graduates, who would be p
aid at the bottom of the salary scale.”

So is yours.
These are truths. As in, they are indisputable.
You may have your shit together. You may have a clean desk (I do). You may have the paper in the paper recycling bin (I do) and the other stuff in the other stuff recycling bin (I do) and you may have regular oil changes and tire rotations on your car (I do).
But you still have a mess.
I know this for certain.
In fact, the only people who do not have a mess are those who no longer breathe and live among us. As in, those who are no longer living. As in, you will no longer have a mess when you are dead. Not before then.
Messes come in all shapes, sizes and flavors.
Like the kind I have piled up in my sink right now (I hate unloading the dishwasher, like passionately hate it. In fact, I may get married again just to have someone unload the dishwasher daily and free of charge. (OK, that isn’t true, but you get the point.) It piles up when the dishwasher is too full of clean stuff to be loaded up with dirty dishes.
Or the dog hair that has taken over every nook and cranny in my house. (To hide that mess, I replaced the white tile that covered the entire first floor of my house with a rich-colored dark wood-type floor that hides enough of the black dog hair to keep my sanity in check.) Yea, I am that weird.
Or the people at my daughter’s school bus stop that annoy me every morning with their inability to park or drive safely. In fact, my annoyance has become so great that I now do the same stupid things they do to beat them at their stupid bus stop game. Who does that make the most stupid? Probably me and thus I have decided to drive to school for the remaining 2.5 months of school. (By the way, this would fall more under the “Avoid Your Mess” category than the “Love Your Mess” category.)
Yea, my desk is neat and my house is closer to immaculate than disaster, but I cannot tame the freakin cords in my office, I have papers half-a-yard high for filing, I have not yet done my personal taxes (waiting on some form I haven’t received) and maybe someday I will put all of that breakable stuff from my grandmother’s apartment on eBay (yea, right).
I am at a standstill of my own doing in my quest for a book agent (see background on this mess here.) Not a great place to be for someone who likes to be in control of her own destiny and deplores waiting on others.
I probably should figure out why I
wuss out hold back when it comes time to launch some big stuff. I have some really cool things ready to go but that haven’t yet seen the light of day. Hmmmm. I see a ridiculous amount of many people out there who are all-hype and so little to back it up. I am, or so it seems, the opposite. Or that is the story I tell myself.
Along those lines, is it weird that I sometimes wish I were a little less substantive or maybe a tad more ignorant (because ignorance is bliss, right?)?
While we are at it (and we were, right?) my grocery-shopping-and-planning-for-dinner skills are worse than ever and still going downhill. We had Breakfast for Dinner last night, which is always awesome, but, tonight we need Dinner for Dinner and I don’t see this happening. Once, when my son was little he told me, “Mommy, you make the best noodles with butter in the world.” At the time, I was proud and thrilled. Now, as I near 40, I realize this is not exactly the legacy I was seeking.
Speaking of kids, I have one teenager and one almost-teenager. What I am realizing is that there is quite a nice run for most parents from the time they are out of diapers until the time they turn 11 (girls) and 13 (boys). This nice run leads to a little complacency: (“Motherhood is so much easier than those other Moms say….my kids are old enough to play nicely in their rooms, no more temper tantrums, they do their homework on their own, their friends are sweet and all is well in my world! I have this all figured out!“). Unfortunately, this complacency is hit way upside the head come the teen years and all bets are off. Someone somewhere is laughing their ass off at me. As well they should.
If you know anything about me, you know I am all about talking and writing about loving our messes. Do I love all of this? Well, I would rather a sink devoid of dirty dishes and I would welcome a healthy dinner whipped up by someone other than me waiting for us in the kitchen at 6pm tonight, but yes, I love it.
It is mine.
It isn’t messy enough to hold me back from anything.
Sure, I could make excuses (and I do) as could you (and likely you do, too, sometimes), but at the end of the day, there is nothing you cannot do, be or have even as your mess grows or expands or lives.
So go do one thing you couldn’t or didn’t because [fill in messy excuse here]. Pick one mess and resolve to let the energy you are devoting to it either die or be put to doing something about it right now. Heck, buy my Love Your Mess book right now while you are at it.
The messes don’t hold you back. Ruminating about and agonizing over the messes hold you back.
And something tells me YOU aren’t someone who should be or was meant to be held back.
I’m right, aren’t I?!
What about you? What’s your big mess?

Even when they are into debt, they will be able to handle it responsibly such as learning how to pay off debt and even how to avoid paying by cash and in a case whereby they have accumulated debt, they can easily get it paid off quickly. When they make purchase with the use of prepaid card rather than using credit cards, they will be able to have financial dealings without accumulating actual debt. This will in return give them insights on how they can prepare themselves in the future on how to make use of credit card offers.
In this regards, it is important to note that some financial institutions have made it easy for teens and kids to get debit cards and prepaid cards and the benefit therein is that kids/teens can now be able to learn about how to handle money even when they are under their parents or custodians. They can make use of these cards in such a way that they will be prepared for financial temptations and money management skills they will likely experience in the future. In fact most parents usually appreciate this concept because it will enable their kids to be on their own and handle money without their parent’s supervision. In order to make the quest easier, this article has come up with list of genuine prepaid cards and debit cards that offer kids to apply and make use of it. The parent will typically be a joint owner of the account on the cards and it can give the kids a good experience of being a prepaid card or debit card owner.
- Pockit: Pockit is a very genuine prepaid card for teens and kids. Its mode of operation is very easy and they can make payment without wasting time. With this card, you don’t really need to sign any contract or pay any monthly fee and it is very appropriate for kids that can make decision on their own. However, this card usually do not offer parental controls and restriction and that is the major reason why it is usually advised that kids that are older and can make personal decision should make use of it.
- FamZoo Prepaid Mastercard: This prepaid card is very good for kids that are ready to learn financial skills because it is designed with features that will assist in have good money management experience. This card can be opened for any age kid but every account must have at least one parent as a cardholder. It will allow the parents to track and monitor where and how their kids are spending money. The parents can access the cardholder at any time and all activities on the card can be tracked digitally. Also, the card enables parents to take out money in form of punishment from the account or add money in form of reward to the account.
- Akimbo Prepaid Debit Card: This prepaid debit card is typically used in order to let kids get financial discipline in such a way that a parent that has multiple kids can easily connect and manage multiple accounts which will be linked to a master account they posses. It will enable kids to take control of their finances and the debit card usually comes with minimal fees and you don’t need any fee on signature purchase.
- American Express Serve: American Express Serve consists of three card options and you will only need to choose the one that is best appropriate for your kids spending and usage habits. The three options include American Express Serve Basic, American Express Serve Free Reloads and American Express Serve Cash Back. Let us now outline their features individually.

Beth Hall Photography
Photography is not just what I do, it is who I am. Beth Hall Photography is how I get to do what I love every single day. I started my career by earning a B.A. in photography and graphic design at the University of Arkansas in 1999. With a degree in hand, I had a stint in studio work before spending seven years as a photojournalist, capturing the art and essence of people and places. In 2006, I created Beth Hall Photography and have been doing what I love as a commercial, editorial, product, and food photographer ever since for local and national campaigns. Along the way, I have taken every opportunity to advance my skills and learn from those around me. I know photography is both an art and a science. The more a photographer understands composition and light as well as the technical capabilities of the equipment, the greater the art they are able to create.
The job is more than taking a good picture. An easy going manner and likable personality go a long way toward putting people at ease when the camera is pointed their way. Whether it’s working with a stylist and art director on location or an everyday person in my studio, I know what is needed to work as a team player and get a good photograph. Additionally, my background in graphic design provides a keen perception of what will make an ad or other marketing collateral pop. My knowledge of layout and content requirements enables me to capture an image that works in the commercial world. Whether it’s capturing the strength of an executive in a corporate portrait, staying on brand with product photography, recognizing the beauty of design through interior and architectural photography, or the culinary excellence of a chef through food photography, I use my art to capture the passion of others.
But, what good is it to know when to click the shutter if that final image comes in too late? Having worked as a photojournalist, I know the importance of a deadline. I am punctual, thorough and I always endeavor to deliver ahead of schedule.
Contact me for your portraits, interiors, food, and product photography needs.
I’ll capture the perfect shot for you on location or in my studio.

There’s a “secret currency” which has helped many of the world's biggest Exponential Organizations (ExOs) to scale beyond their wildest dreams. This “secret currency” is used by the world’s top tech companies to not only rise to the top of their field, but to build long-lasting dynasties and become legendary.
ExOs and tech companies such as Facebook, Google and Netflix are just some of the many companies leveraging this “secret currency” (and no, I’m not talking about cryptocurrencies).
The secret currency I’m talking about is DATA. Today, data has become the new oil. It is arguably the world’s most valuable resource. While technologies such as smartphones and the internet have made data abundant and ubiquitous, those who succeed will be the ones who know how to leverage the data they have access to.
This is where algorithms, one of the 11 core attributes of ExOs, come in to help organizations make sense of huge amounts of data and apply it to scale their operations and profits. And the best part is you don’t have to be a technical company to leverage algorithms, because it lies within the reach of any executive or entrepreneur.
If you are considering algorithms for your business, check out our new tool to help you get you started.
Algorithms: The Key To Extraordinary Success And Profits
ExOs that leverage data and master algorithms are winning the game of business by a landslide, because algorithms have allowed organizations to scale in ways that weren’t possible even five or 10 years ago. Here are a few examples.
Given that the 55,000 trucks in UPS’ American fleet make 16 million deliveries daily, the potential for inefficient routing is enormous. By applying telematics and algorithms, UPS saves its drivers 85 million miles a year, resulting in annual savings of $2.55 billion.
Google is another organization that has mastered data and algorithms. In 2002, their search algorithm earned them half a billion dollars a year. That’s already good money by any standard, but their investments into algorithms are really paying off now. The latest version of their search algorithm now makes half a billion dollars in just three days. In other words, they’re now collecting the same amount of revenue in less than one percent of the time it used to take.
The application of algorithms to leverage data that can be used to optimize processes or create revenue streams is widespread across many industries. From automotive anti-lock braking to Amazon’s recommendation engine; from dynamic pricing for airlines to predicting the success of upcoming Hollywood blockbusters; from credit card fraud detection to the 2 percent of posts that Facebook shows a typical user, and Uber matching drivers with passengers — algorithms are everywhere in modern life.
Algorithms are thus a critical future component of every business. Almost all the business insights and decisions of tomorrow will be data-driven. Without a doubt, investing in algorithms pays off for any organization wanting to rapidly scale their products and services. Given that algorithms are much more objective, scalable, and flexible than human beings, this also makes it critical for organizations committed to driving exponential growth.
To ensure your organization doesn’t get left behind, it’s important to understand how different types of algorithms can help you leverage the data your organization collects according to the nature of your business.
How The Evolution Of Algorithms Is Changing The Game For Business Success
When computers advanced to a level of performance where they could compute more complex algorithms, two exciting fields emerged at the frontier of this new world: Machine Learning and Deep Learning. Both of these have then become the doorway into a brand new era of Artificial Intelligence (AI) which is now changing the game for business success.
The new game of survival is simple. Organizations who adapt to the evolution, will come out on top. Those who don’t, will quickly find themselves lagging behind the competition. Let’s take a look into what Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and AI are about, plus how ExOs are adapting and applying the algorithms in these fields to stay ahead of the competition.
Machine Learning is the ability to accurately perform new, unseen tasks, built on known properties learned from training or historic data, and based on prediction. Or in simpler terms, machine learning is when algorithms parse data, learn from that data, and then apply their learnings to make informed decisions.
You can think of it like a computer that can essentially teach itself to continually improve on performing an automated task based on analyzing the results of past attempts. Given that computers can process huge amounts of information at high speed, it can thus learn very fast.
To illustrate a simple example of machine learning in action, let’s go back to the birth of machine learning. In 1956, when Arthur Lee Samuel didn’t want to write a highly-detailed, lengthy computer program that could beat him in a game of checkers, he created an algorithm instead.
This algorithm allowed the computer to play against itself over and over again. The algorithm could then learn from the historic data and essentially teach itself to perform against an opponent. The effectiveness of the algorithm was proven when, in 1962, the computer beat the Connecticut state champion in a game of checkers.
Fast-forward to today, and Machine Learning can be applied to help organizations learn how to effectively serve their customers. A great example of this is Netflix who used algorithms to improve its movie recommendations.
Deep Learning on the other hand is a new and exciting subset of Machine Learning based on neural net technology. Through a complex set of algorithms, it allows a machine to discover new patterns without being exposed to any historical or training data.
Leading startups in this space are DeepMind, bought by Google in early 2014 for $500 million, back when DeepMind had just 13 employees. Another leading startup in this space is Vicarious, funded with investment from Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg.
Twitter, Baidu, Microsoft, and Facebook also heavily invest in this area. Deep Learning algorithms rely on discovery and self-indexing, and operate in much the same way that a baby learns first sounds, and then words, sentences and even languages.
As an example: In June 2012, a team at Google X built a neural network of 16,000 computer processors with one billion connections. After allowing it to browse 10 million randomly selected YouTube video thumbnails for three days, the network began to recognize cats, without actually knowing the concept of “cats.” Importantly, this was without any human intervention or input.
Since then, Deep Learning capabilities have improved considerably. Deep Learning algorithms can now detect particular episodes in videos and even describe them in text, all without human input. Deep Learning algorithms can even play video games by figuring out the rules of the game and then optimizing performance.
The implications of this revolutionary breakthrough are astounding. This technology will make most products and services more effective, personalized and efficient in a way that can be fully scalable at a rapid pace.
Machine Learning and Deep Learning are now driving today’s explosion in Artificial Intelligence (A.I.). Computer systems are now able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages.
We are already seeing a number of ExOs applying A.I. to open us up to new worlds previously only seen in science fiction.
Tesla has applied A.I. to develop self-driving (driverless) cars in the consumer market, which may be entering the market before the decade is over. Biotricity is developing personalized and predictive feedback for each patient through A.I. that learns how patients react differently based on real-time data. This will shift the healthcare industry toward preventive care.
The applications for A.I. in businesses encompasses all fields, from fraud detection to product recommendations; and from diagnosing diseases to optimizing sales force coverage.
How Algorithms Can Lower Error Rates & Stabilize Growth
Remarkably, and often tragically, most companies today are still driven almost solely on the intuitive guesses of their leaders who are just as likely to fall prey to a long list of self-delusions and cognitive biases.
However, by incorporating algorithms, organizations can stabilize growth by helping to reduce error rates often caused by biases of human cognition, such as:
4 Steps To Implement Algorithms In Your Organization
Since there are many areas algorithms can be used, you would first need to determine which problems or processes in your organization can benefit from algorithms and machine learning.
Once identified, the next phase is implementing algorithms; a process which can be broken into the following four steps:
- Gather: The algorithmic process starts with harnessing data, which is gathered via sensors or humans, or imported from public datasets.
- Organize: The next step is to organize the data, a process known as ETL (extract, transform and load).
- Apply: Once the data is accessible, machine learning tools such as Hadoop and Pivotal, or even (open source) deep learning algorithms like DeepMind, Vicarious and SkyMind, extract insights, identify trends and tune new algorithms.
- Expose: The final step is exposing the data, as if it were an open platform. Open data and APIs can be used to enable an ExO’s community to develop valuable services, new functionalities and innovation layered on top of the platform by remixing the ExO’s data with their own. Examples here include the Ford Motor Company, Uber, Rabobank, the Port of Rotterdam, IBM Watson, Wolfram Alpha, Twitter and Facebook.
Algorithms Are The Future Of Business
One reason for Google’s success is that it is more ruthlessly data-driven than most other companies, right down to its hiring practices. With the rapid development of technology and sensors resulting in an explosion of data that can be mined, algorithms will become a critical future component of every successful business.
The best part about algorithms is you don’t need to be Google or Facebook to leverage data for big results. Data is accessible to anyone, and algorithms can work just as well for a startup or a mid-market firm as it does for high-tech companies. Add to the fact that the cost of artificial intelligence systems have dropped in the past few years, making it now within the reach of just about any company in the world.

It’s with great pride that we announce Edinburgh’s lauded clubbing brand Nightvision is now an exclusive ticketing partner, with all tickets being sold through us.
Born from the coming together of two of the city’s leading promoters – Musika and Xplicit – back in July 2014, the Nightvision series prompted a lot of hype with its debut run of enormous line ups, something it’s continually matched since that rapturously received first season.
Nightvision hosts a series of specially curated events that make use of some of Edinburgh’s most loved nightspots, starring the likes of Chase & Status, Hannah Wants, Nina Kraviz, Skream, Hot Since 82, Annie Mac and Jackmaster – using Xplicit’s bass music pedigree and Musika’s house and techno expertise to curate staggering line ups in exciting locations. Having enjoyed a successful relationship with them since they began, it seemed the natural step to enter into a three year partnership deal.
With another killer season ahead of them, including appearances from Tale of Us, Hannah Wants, Green Velvet, Jamie Jones and Adam Beyer, it’s looking like another formidable few months of partying from Edinburgh’s leading party-starters, and one that we’re thrilled to be a part of.

A Sermon for 23 June 2019 – Caregiver Sunday
Let us pray: Holy One, who is Life itself to us; calm the restless places in us. Quiet the constant chatter in our minds. Center our spirits as we listen for your Spirit to speak to the deepest places in us. As Scripture is read and proclaimed, may we hear your abiding word to us. Through Christ we pray, Amen.
From the prophet Isaiah, we hear beautiful words for those who are weary and carrying heavy burdens. As I told the children, today we are focusing on the needs of those who care for the needs of others. Many of you know because you are now, or you have at some point in your lifetime, cared for a loved one. Maybe it is a young child who is exciting to watch grow each day, but whose needs are endless until they are old enough to tend themselves. Maybe it has been your partner: your husband, your wife who, because of disease or age, became your daily responsibility. Maybe it is a parent – near or far – a grandparent, a grandchild, or the neighbor next door who has no one else. So you, out of your love for God and others, are stepping up to do what is needed. Caring for others can be a 24/7 job – you know that. It can be one of the greatest challenges of our lives. But it also can be one of the most rewarding experiences of growing as disciples of Christ who daily find contentment and connection with The Holy as we listen, feed, bathe, help in a whole variety of ways. Caregiving for a loved one as they age can be one of the most difficult things we ever will do in our lives as we grieve the loss of the one we have loved while they still are among us – just not quite as we’ve always known them. It can bring out the worst in us even as it allows the best in us to shine.
If you’ve been reading A Spirituality of Caregiving by Henri Nouwen, then you might find familiar Nouwen’s thoughtful words about caring. Nouwen writes: “To care is the most human of all human gestures. It is a gesture that comes forth from a courageous confession of our common need for one another and the grace of a compassion that binds us together with brothers and sisters like ourselves, who share with us the wonderful and painful journey of life.” Nouwen writes, “In the very act of caring for another, you and I possess a great treasure. One of the great riches of caregiving is that it embraces something more than simply a focus on cure. Caregiving carries within it an opportunity for inner healing, liberation, and transformation for the one being cared for and for the one who cares. And because we who offer care and we who receive care are both strong and vulnerable, though in different ways, our coming together in a caregiving relationship is an occasion to open ourselves to receive an unexpected gift” (A Spirituality of Caregiving, Henri J. M. Nouwen, Upper Room Books, 2011, p. 16-17).
So, for us who are giving care and us who are receiving care; this morning we are invited to listen to beautiful reminders to us from Holy Scripture. First, we hear God’s word to us in a reading of Isaiah 40:28-31.
“Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. The LORD does not faint or grow weary; God’s understanding is unsearchable. The LORD gives power to the faint, and strengthens the powerless. 30 Even youths will faint and be weary, and the young will fall exhausted; 31 but those who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.”
This is the word of God for the people of God. Thanks be to God!
Our next reading actually is the lectionary gospel reading assigned for this Sunday. Hear God’s word to us through Luke 8:26-39.
“Then they (Jesus and his disciples) arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee. 27 As Jesus stepped out on land, a man of the city who had demons met him. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he did not live in a house but in the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he fell down before him and shouted at the top of his voice, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me” — 29 for Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (For many times it had seized him; he was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles, but he would break the bonds and be driven by the demon into the wilds.) 30 Jesus then asked him, “What is your name?” He said, “Legion”; for many demons had entered him. 31 They begged him not to order them to go back into the abyss. 32 Now there on the hillside a large herd of swine was feeding; and the demons begged Jesus to let them enter these. So he gave them permission. 33 Then the demons came out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned. 34 When the swineherds saw what had happened, they ran off and told it in the city and in the country. 35 Then people came out to see what had happened, and when they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid. 36 Those who had seen it told them how the one who had been possessed by demons had been healed. 37 Then all the people of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them; for they were seized with great fear. So Jesus got into the boat and returned. 38 The man from whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with him; but Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 “Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you.” So the man went away, proclaiming throughout the city how much Jesus had done for him.”
This is the word of God for the people of God. Thanks be to God.
Irene had a most generous spirit! She came to a church I was serving shortly after a decade of caring for her husband in his last years of life. I loved Irene from the start! Her eyes sparkled like the bright summer sun shimmering across the ocean water. She was just the right combination of a beautiful spirit sprinkled with a dash of sass. Though frail when I first met her, you still could tell that this was no one to be pushed around! In fact, as the first to go to college from her rural Kentucky family, I sat in awe as Irene told me what it was like to be one of the first women allowed to study at Yale Divinity School. I admired Irene from the start. Not just for the trails I knew she had blazed for people like me, but for the way she came to me on like week two in worship to say: “Pastor Jule, now just because I can’t get around the way I used to, doesn’t mean I’m going to join this church to be the kind of person who sits back to do nothing from the pew. I intend to serve and want to talk to you about my gifts for teaching.” Irene wasn’t allowed to finish her studies at Yale Divinity School; but later in life, she earned herself a Ph.D. in English Literature and had enjoyed her students at the university where she and her husband both had taught. Irene was the kind of new church member pastors dream about. Not afraid to jump in to a new church family to see what she could do! I loved her from the start.
Which might explain why it was so obvious to me how tired Irene looked. She came to us a few weeks after moving into the local assisted living center. She couldn’t take care of her stately old home any longer. She really didn’t want to after the decade she spent there taking care of her husband’s every need as slowly he slipped away from her. Irene confided that those ending years were tumultuous. The daily demands of taking care of the man to whom she had committed her life so many long years ago swallowed up any other thing she might have needed to do – like process with him and by herself the struggles their life together included. But now it was too late. He was gone. Her spirit was troubled and her body was giving way to itself as all the years of lifting, washing, holding, dressing, feeding, caring for her beloved husband left her hobbled over. Unsteady on her feet, no longer able to stand erect. Irene was tired, in body, mind, and spirit after a decade of tending the father of her children, the man she had loved despite the painful challenges their marriage included. Irene had given daily care for a decade – she wouldn’t have traded a moment of those days for anything in the world. She had given care. The grace of compassion had bound her to her husband through his deep need. It was evident that she needed to receive. Grateful, yet weary, she needed rest.
Another preacher told me this week that nothing in the lectionary’s text from this week’s gospel of Luke jazzed him. Ugh. Jesus on the other side, healing the Gerasene Demoniac. Pigs rushing off a cliff. Town’s people all upset. At one level I agree. But then all week, I kept seeing in my imagination that man. Healed. All that was in him: gone. Can you see it too? In peace he is sitting at the feet of Jesus (Luke 8:35). What a shame that when the neighbors arrived at the place of all the commotion, they were afraid. They had grown accustomed to seeing the man whose whole world had been taken over by the “legions” inside. Possessed by forces beyond his own control. The story goes that for years the man lived in the wild. Naked. Alone. Homeless. He’d endured being shackled by the community to keep him from hurting himself or anyone else. Clearly this man was in deep, deep need. Upon meeting him, Jesus wants to know his name. The man doesn’t even know anymore. If you’ve ever been in deep need, you know how isolating the experience can be. How our memory can grow fuzzy. How the pain in our bodies turns our own minds on ourselves. It’s easy to forget who we are – who we were before – who we remain no matter the circumstances. Precious. Honored. Adored children of a God who invites us to come. Rest. Remember a love that never lets go. Can you imagine what it feels like to find yourself again centered in yourself? Sitting at the feet of Christ simply able to be.
Sometimes I think that the most difficult thing about caring is that there are no quick fixes to getting through the times we are pouring ourselves out for the needs of others. When we become the one who is responsible for the daily needs of a child, a parent, a partner; nothing is going to swoop in to magically make things all better. It’s hard. Hard work physically and challenging work emotionally and spiritually – we can give so much and feel so guilty that it’s not enough. I wonder if, in the most trying moments, maybe we can remember. Maybe we can steel away as many small moments as possible just to take one deep breath. To close our eyes – if even for 5 seconds – to see in our minds’ eye this Gerasene man. We may feel as tossed about within as he was by all that had taken him over. But with that breath – in that small moment of our great need while we’re receiving or giving care – might the image of this man whole. Centered. At rest at the feet of Christ, be something we can hold on to in the most challenging of moments? Might the gift of this story for caregivers and care receivers everywhere be the beautiful image of that man. Restored to his former self. Resting before the Great Caregiver. The Mighty Healer who is with us in our challenges, more concerned with our wholeness than anything else.
For those of us caring and those of us receiving care, please remember. Please be gentle with yourself even as you seek to find the tracings of God’s Spirit in and around it all. Tend those in need well and be gracious with yourself. Look for the ways God is with you. Know the compassionate Healer, the Great Caregiver, is at work. Rest. Centered fully at the feet of our Savior and Lord who shall make all things whole.
In the name of the life-giving Father, the life-redeeming Son, and the life-sustaining Spirit, Amen.

Players (names withheld to prevent punitive measures being meted on them) of the Pelican Stars football club of Calabar have starved for eight months following non payment of allowances. They disclosed this in different interviews with newsmen.
Pelican Stars is one of the two female football teams owned by the Cross River state Government.
But for the postponement of the Nigerian Professional Women’s League due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the club would have also missed out on the 2019/2020 season due to lack of funding.
Other clubs owned by the state currently suffer the same fate.
The UNICEM Rovers football club was paid until January 2020 while table payment has been scheduled for the Benedict Ayade United football club to clear three months salaries.
Rovers and Pelicans were the only two teams before 2017 when the head of the sports commission, Orok Otu, in a move largely described as political, created the Ben Ayade and Linda Ayade teams named after the Governor and his wife.
It is unclear whether the Linda Ayade team is suffering a similar fate and whether the welfare of the club staff which is the only one in the state playing in a top division would be catered for especially after the ban on gatherings of more than five by the state.

As USM Anywhere surfaces events, alarms, and vulnerabilities, your team determines which items require the opening of a new Salesforce case. Rather than manually opening each case in the Salesforce user interface (UI) and entering the relevant alarm, event, or vulnerability information, you can use the AlienApp for Salesforce response actions to automatically create a Salesforce case with the short description and description fields pre-populated with content from your USM Anywhere environment. The table below lists the available actions from the AlienApp.
Create a Salesforce Case
Run this action to generate a new Salesforce case from an alarm, event, response action, or vulnerability.
Upon execution of a response action, USM Anywhere generates the Salesforce case and passes the associated information to that new incident case.
Note: Before launching a Salesforce response action or creating a Salesforce response action rule, the AlienApp for Salesforce must be enabled and connected to your Salesforce instance. See Configuring the AlienApp for Salesforce for more information.

Methods: observational and descriptive survey design and convenience sampling was adapted to select 50 preschool children who are attending the Anganawadis at Suttur. The scale to assess the nutritional status and nutritional assessment checklist were used. The information booklet was given to all mothers.
Result: The collected data was analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics.

Outside it’s dreary. We’re not seeing much of the sun. There’s no growth in the garden. It’s only seventy-one days until spring a friend of mine said on Facebook. Well, I thought, that’s a relief. Tonight I’ll be celebrating the solstice by going to a beach themed winter BBQ. I have a suitable costume. It involves a lei, a Hawaiian shirt, a sun hat – ha! – and multiple layers of merino. No, I won’t be putting up a photo.
Meanwhile, here at Jill’s Scene I’ve got other reasons to celebrate.
This is my fiftieth post. And I’m writing it today, when the sun is as far from us as it gets. Auspicious? Probably not but it feels important – like a birthday. And like a fiftieth birthday it took a long time to get here. I can’t be described as the rush-right-on-in sort, not when it comes to blogging. Back in May 2012 when I put up my first post I was tentative to say the least. It consisted of three photos. There was a title – somehow I’d figured out that was a probably a good idea. But no captions. No explanatory narrative. The post didn’t get a lot of attention. Funny that. It did get one like – from a family member. Hey, everyone has to start somewhere.
Eight months went by before post number two. I might as well have scratched each of the 209 words onto stone with a pocket knife the way I agonised over them. These days, in comparison, I’m bordering on garrulous. Most of my posts are between 700 – 1200 words, some longer. Those of you who stick with me to the end – I’m grateful – you are my dream readers.
But wait there’s more: sometime soon, someone somewhere, probably you, is going to trip the counter over to 3000. Back on March 28th my blog registered 1000 views. I was so impressed it might as well have been one million. It took almost two years to get there and less than three months for the next 2K. An encouraging trend, don’t you think?
Along the way I’ve found out all sorts of things and even learned how to tweet. How’s that for a blogger who didn’t have much of a clue and still doesn’t? There’s so much talk about how bad the internet is, how the way we use it affects attention spans and brain structure, how it’s full of porn and stalkers, and how it will be death to reading and books. Well, pffiffle to all that. Like anything, you get what you go looking for. (Except for maybe the stalker thing – but they are relatively rare.) Judging by the number of people who are reading my site and the millions of others like it, judging by all those people out there blogging about their own stories, reading and writing is doing just fine … although … am I too long in the tooth to learn to touch type?
But right now: a great big thank-you to all you wonderful people who have visited and taken the time to like or comment, or, even better, decided to follow Jill’s Scene. You each help to make the blogosphere a laugh out loud, thought-provoking and entertaining experience.
So to celebrate the tilt of the earth’s axis and my equally celestial blogging milestones (to me anyway) please welcome four new stars to my blog roll.
One cool site has lots of blogging tips. If you want ideas about how to manage copyright, or comments, or something called SEO which I don’t have the hang of, yet, or anything else to do with blogging on WordPress then check out what Time Thief has to say. I read somewhere she’s a fan of vegemite which probably makes us virtual cousins seen as Marmite is my thing. (My blog, so vegemite doesn’t get a capital and Marmite does.) Any Kiwis and Aussies reading this will know what I’m talking about.
Burns the fire is responsible for getting me hooked on Marquez! Which means I have a lot to thank her for. She posts only every ten days or so but, believe me, they are treasures. She ends each one with a good news flash – a great antidote to all the bad news that’s out there.
Dan over on No Facilities is a techy woodworker with a quirky sense of humour. Once, a long, long time ago, I worked in a furniture factory with one of my uncles. I didn’t last more than a few months. But I learned a lot. Dan’s stories about his lathes and other gizmos take me right back to those good old days when sawdust clogged my nostrils and I helped to churn out hundreds of TV stands.
And then there’s Ned – he’s friends with that first funny guy, Mr Ross Murray. Ned’s a funny writer and fire fighter who loves his wife. Look for the video clip about the pole dancing – it’s my very favourite. He might have a book out and another on the way but at heart I reckon Ned’s just a boy trying to impress a girl.
Each of you, along with the others on my blogroll, are the highlights of my reading week. You’re helping to keep a dreary old winter at bay. Take a well-deserved bow!

Before leaving for Sundance, I was anxious about the flight there and back. I listen to “Tales of Airport Security” on Harry Shearer’s “Le Show”, and I knew it would probably be fine. I was just nervous about doing something that I hadn’t done in 3 or so years. Turns out, I’m a pro, or more honestly, I’ll be able to pretend I’m a pro the next time I go. I’m definitely more open to air travel now that it seems more accessible.

After WWII, automobile racing took on a new life with the increasing popularity of hot-rodding. But materials could be hard to come by, so ingenuity and innovation were the name of the game. One such example was the use of drop tanks to build racers. Drop tanks were used by aircraft as a portable fuel cell that could be dropped once it was empty.
They were often called wing tanks or belly tanks. Racers picked up these remnants, which were perfectly aerodynamic, and slapped on wheels and added an engine, creating belly tankers.
Bell & Ross have put together a “Dusty” chronograph in conjunction with The Rake and Revolution. The Bellytanker Chronograph was inspired by the watches that intrepid belly tanker drivers wore. It features a stainless steel case that has a satin-brushed finish. For the face of the watch, the team went for a classic brown with contrasting black small seconds and minute counters. A matching minutes track circumnavigates the face. The tachymeter bezel is caramel anodized. The strap is brown calfskin.
The mechanism for the chronograph is a modular Sellita SW 300, which can be seen through the sapphire case back. You can pick up your own Bell & Ross Bellytanker for USD$4,500.

This is a 3-Part training program that leads towards becoming a peer coach for performance and resilience. Graduates of all three phases of this training program will be capable of championing mindfulness as a preventative approach to health and wellness and as a path toward performance optimization- at work, at home, and in the community.
Peer Coaches can integrate seamlessly into existing leadership and training constructs within a public safety agency- operations, training, administration, etc. Peer Coaches will be able to build mindfulness training models, collaborating with community, regional and national certified trainers to tailor resilience and performance training to meet the unique needs of their organization. Peer coaches will be equipped to integrate mindfulness training sessions into the regular rhythms of their organization, ensuring skillful instruction and resourcing others so peers can continue their own mindfulness practice.
Participants in this training program must complete the following to earn the designation of a Peer Resilience Coach:
- Module I: 3-day intensive – mindfulness skill building
- Module II: 12-week Distance Learning- study, mentorship and personal practice
- Module III: 3-day intensive – mindfulness for performance, movement and mindful nutrition, and coaching skills
- Practicum – local project of training/education
Peer Coaches will be required to complete ongoing professional education to maintain affiliation as a Peer Coach.
Richard Goerling has served in civilian law enforcement for over twenty years. He also served as a member of the U.S. Coast Guard, both active and reserve for 27 years, retiring at the rank of Commander in 2015. He’s had a front row seat to operational stress in both arenas and has spent the last decade as a student, and now trainer, of resiliency. Over the last decade, he has spearheaded the introduction of mindfulness training into policing in the United States and internationally as part of a larger cultural transformation toward a compassionate, skillful and resilient warrior ethos. He serves as an affiliate faculty at Pacific University’s Graduate School of Professional Psychology and participates in mindfulness research at this institution. Richard regularly trains and presents onresiliency for first responders, bringing practical mindfulness skill building to enhance personal, organizational and community resiliency.
Description and Objectives for Each Module
Module I: Retreat
This is a journey into the contemporary science of stress, trauma, resiliency and performance. Responding to the world around us requires a foundational sense of self and durable social and emotional skills. This course looks at skills training to cultivate an inner readiness, through awareness and compassion practices, that enhance capacity for sense-making, decision-making and leadership of self and others. The first module focuses on individual skills development (practice). The second module offers an opportunity for mentorship, learning and deepening of a practice. The third module offers advances mindfulness skills practice and coaching skills development.
Upon successful completion of this module, participants will be able to:
- Apply a new understanding of the interpersonal neurobiology of stress, trauma and performance in organizational decision-making, and in how one encounter’s (“shows up” to) others from a formal leadership position.
- Apply an understanding of current research on gratitude, self-compassion & mindfulness to one’s own personal and professional life through skills practices in awareness and compassion, both formal and informal.
- Create a personal resilience roadmap, addressing desired areas of personal and professional fitness and performance.
- Develop a sustainable, personal mindfulness practice that integrates into the rhythms of daily living at work and home.
Module II: Distance Learning
- Sustain fundamental mindfulness skills that foster self-awareness and self-regulation.
- Create and sustain, through awareness and compassion practices, a greater capacity for leadership of self and others.
- Understand multi-disciplinary approach to coaching others, including habit formation and change management, motivation, and cultural/occupational factors.
Module III: Retreat
- Develop and lead strategies toward individual, organizational and community resiliency.
- Embody an authentic warrior ethos, grounded in the discipline of awareness, the practice of compassion and professional acumen.
- Deepen personal practice of mindfulness through advanced skills training.
- Develop and demonstrate mindfulness coaching skills.
This workshop is intended for first responders whose occupation routinely exposes them to chronic and acute trauma and human suffering. This includes but isn’t limited to police officers, firefighters, dispatchers, medics, federal law enforcement officers and members of the National Guard and Reserve.
Program activities include meditation, experiential exercises, short didactic talks, group discussion, and home practices. The goal is to provide a foundational knowledge of the science of stress and performance, together with the cultivation of sustainable skills in resiliency of body, mind and heart that attendees can incorporate into the rhythms of their lives at work and home. The program is grounded in a confluence of the contemporary science of resiliency and contemplative practice of mindfulness.
This training program is a journey—an adventure in self-discovery, self-kindness and self-regulation. Mindfulness and compassion have the paradoxical effect of both soothing and comforting as well as opening us to emotional distress that we may have been unconsciously holding inside, often for many years. Therefore, difficult emotions may surface during the program as we grow in our capacity to embrace and heal them. The teachers are committed to providing an environment of respect that includes safety, support, privacy, individual responsibility, and a common commitment to developing compassion for oneself and others.
It is recommended, but not required, that participants read the following two books before the training retreat:
Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself by Kristin Neff
The Mindful Path to Self-Compassion by Christopher Germer

Frequently Asked Questions
I am flying in for the training. What are my options and what do you recommend?
See our LOCATIONS page for details about travel to the retreat centers and preferred airports. The UCSD Center for Mindfulness will set up a Ride Share Bulletin Board in coordinating shuttle rides for those arriving by air at local airports.
What time should I plan to arrive? When do we finish?
We will begin checking people into the retreat at 1 pm on the first day of the training. However, it may be possible for you to arrive before 1pm and have access to your room. We ask that you plan on arriving no later than 5pm so that we can begin with the full group in attendance at dinnertime. We plan to end the retreat by 1:00 pm on the last day so please plan your travel accordingly, using the time guidelines above. Sometimes situations arise in which people have to leave the retreat earlier than noon on the last day but we strongly urge you to avoid this if at all possible.
Is there wireless service/cellular phone use?
Please do not expect to get consistent, reliable wireless internet service while at the retreat center. It is most advisable to leave your computer at home because of the retreat nature of the training, however we recognize that sometimes computer use is a necessity. Most cellular phones will work in this location. Again, however given the nature of the training there will be limited opportunities to use them, so informing those who may need to contact you of these limitations ahead of time will be helpful.
Is it possible to stay extra nights at the facility or arrive a day or two early?
The retreat center is often booked both right before and right after our training, so arriving early or staying an extra night or two after the retreat is over is not likely to be a possibility. You can of course arrange to stay at lodging near the retreat center if you would like to extend your stay.
What do I need to bring?
If it is at all possible, please bring a meditation cushion (zafu) and a yoga mat. We will have a few cushions but not enough to go around, so if you have one and can squeeze it into your luggage or bring it as a carry-on please consider doing so. It is always advisable to check the weather forecast prior to traveling, to help guide you in proper clothing choices.
The relatively remote location makes security a minor concern, but we do want people to know that with shared sleeping quarters and very limited availability of keys to lock rooms, we highly recommend leaving valuable items at home to reduce the possibility of anything being lost or stolen. Certainly some of us will have vehicles where such items can be secured if this is necessary.
What should I expect regarding the format of the training?
This training is taught in a retreat format, which means there is a great deal of mindfulness practice embedded in the training, and we want to reiterate that now so you are not surprised when you get here. The venue very much facilitates this format; we will will meet, eat and be housed in a relatively secluded area. There are no other large groups planned in the center that week so it should be relatively quiet and secluded. The rooms are clean and comfortable, but not by any means luxurious. and as you probably noted on the website, you will have a roommate. In most cases several of you will share a dorm-style bathroom nearby.
What should I read prior to arriving?
Check the “Schedule and Required Reading” page of the specific training you are registered to attend.
What if I require some special accommodations or have dietary restrictions?
While you are asked to note specific food restrictions on your registration application, if there are any additional food or medical concerns we should be aware of please let us know of these in advance so we may assist you.
Pricing is variable. Please check your specific event of interest (sidebar) to view its fees.
Partial payments are acceptable; however a non-refundable minimum deposit of $300 USD is due upon registration.
Please be aware that the early-bird rate is available for all participants who register and pay their balance in full by the early-bird deadline (see registration information above). All early-bird rate participants who have a remaining balance on or after the early-bird deadline will have their fees automatically adjusted to the General Session Rate.
All remaining balances must be paid in full 30 days prior to the start of the training or your registration will be cancelled for non-payment and you will not be permitted to attend.
A refund (minus your $300 non-refundable and non-transferable deposit) will be made for cancellations submitted in writing 30 days prior to the training. No refunds will be allowed after that date.
In the unlikely event that the course is cancelled, UC San Diego Center for Mindfulness is responsible only for a full refund of the registration fee and not for transportation, hotel accommodations or any miscellaneous expenses
Required Application Form
Upon submission of your registration, you will be provided with a link to complete an online Peer Coach Training Application. On the application form, you’ll be asked to write description of your mindfulness training history and personal practice, your background, motivation and intention for the training and submit your CV/Resume and a letter of support from a public safety agency, preferably their employer or partner agency.
Your application for this training will not be taken under consideration until the application form has been submitted. Should your qualifications not be accepted for admittance, a full refund will be granted.

In a blink of an eye, another New York Fashion Week has come and gone. But up until today, we can’t get enough of this season’s newest fashion trends.
We witnessed a gamut of bold and colorful choices making a powerful case for new suiting, prints, and fabrics to wear. So before we head on to the next fashion weeks, we dissect the top five fashion trends we spotted in NYFW for fall/winter 2019.
We all love the Kingdom Animalia. And by this time, it looks like animal prints need to be a part of our wardrobe—from leopard, cheetah, to snakeskin. But adding to the growing list of stunning prints is the Zebra. We witnessed such exquisite creations from Proenza Schouler, Maryam Nassir Zadeh, and Philip Lim.
We’ve all seen this trend last year but it’s making a comeback and designers took it up a notch this time involving vibrant hues. Leather has always been a necessity during fall and/or winter. So if you don’t like to be mediocre before autumn hits, it’s about time to invest in colored leathers. From Sies Marjan’s purple suit, Christian Cowan’s orange dress, to Ulla Johnson’s tangerine jacket, it’s not always a bad idea to add a bright-colored leather to your fall/winter wardrobe.
Not everyone’s a fan of puffed ensembles, which we understand because nobody wants to look like a Michelin man. But this season, several designers gave a stunning twist to quilting—from Rachel Comey’s dainty ensemble, Prabal Gurung’s colorful take, to Tory Burch’s feminine touch.
Most galas and huge holiday occasions happen during fall and winter, so it’s always a must to stand out amongst the crowd. What better way to make heads turn to shine like the star that you are. Dominate the red carpet, gala, and the holidays taking inspiration from Cong Tri, Brandon Maxwell, and Alice + Olivia.
The Renaissance Woman
NYFW also transported everyone to the Renaissance era as designers highlighted beautiful, feminine pieces. But what makes this season special is the addition of modern twists to a classic aesthetic. Marc Jacobs created a black dress in an A-line silhouette complemented by huge puffed sleeves. Khaite punctuated a feminine tulle dress with a red velvet bishop sleeves, while Brock collection made a golden case accentuated by a Victorian collar.

Finding out what a theatre has planned for the 2018 summer is exciting. Talking with Antonello Di Benedetto and Kate Hyde of the Williamstown Theatre Festival, we not only learned about the range of plays and other activities the company will offer, but what goes on during the rest of the year. Antonello is Director of Audience Engagement, Kate is Communications Manager. They work year round in Williamstown to help prepare for the many activities that take place during the summer.
The development of new plays is an important aspect of the Williamstown Theatre Festival’s work under the leadership of Mandy Greenfield, Artistic Director. This year, a play that had its premiere production at the Williamstown Theatre in 2016, Cost of Living, won the Pulitzer Prize for best drama. Antonello and Kate talk about the theatre’s development of new plays and many other topics. Click below to listen.

January 5-February 1, 2015
NEW YEARS RESOLUTION #1: FINISH THAT MANUSCRIPT!
An Online Workshop on Re-visioning, Taking the Next Step, and Falling (Back) in Love with Your Vision.
A 4-week workshop beginning January 5
LIVE 30-min preview call Sunday, January 4 at 7 pm mst
***email me at [email protected] to register for the preview call
Are you or someone you know working on a manuscript? Are you stuck in the writing phase or in the revision process? Or have you “finished” but not gotten the response you wanted out in the world? Are you not sure what comes next? Most of us are better at starting manuscripts than we are at finishing them. But it’s only when we can conceive, create, and bring our projects to fruition that we begin to master the longer form known as a book. Each book we write brings us closer to understanding how to write a book. What phase of the finishing process are you in? And what do you need to cross the finish line and get it out into the world?
In this workshop we will explore:
• What’s keeping you from finishing?
• Are your challenges telling you something about your manuscript?
• How to fall back in love with your work and your vision
• Allowing your manuscript to transform
• Publication—is your manuscript ready to send into the world?
• The different stages of “finishing” a manuscript
• Self-promotion—are you afraid of rejection? (You’re not alone.)
In this workshop I’ll give you the deadlines you might need, help you structure your writing time into your life, help you transition more easily between creation and revision, and help you become your own best editor. Whether you are planning to submit or self publish, you’ll gain writing, editorial and publication advice, how to find and cultivate a readership, how to excerpt and query, and even when to let a manuscript transform. And most importantly, you’ll finally birth your work and give yourself the satisfaction of completion.
Are you ready?

Hermanni is the name of a neighbourhood in Helsinki, Finland. Needless to say, it’s a very silly name for a neighbourhood. Hermanni is also a very silly name for a person, and, not surprisingly, the area was named by a certain man named Herman.
But you’re not here to hear about Hermanni, I suppose. You’re here to see Tuire and Jenni in latex. In Hermanni, the neighbourhood.
Hello, she is Jenni. You might remember her from such Project Ls such as Project L: Part 76 – Late summer evening in Helsinki and Project L: Part 77 – Three’s Autumn.
This is her apartment, and it packs a plenty of memorabilia on the walls. There’s a strong, empathic feeling here.
This is Tuire. She’s only been in the project once, in Project L: Part 77 – Three’s Autumn. Tuire is ready to roll the streets in this wonderful outfit.
Initially she planned her outfit to fit a regular, black suit, but instead we steered over to the classic, metallic red colour, which, luckily, fit her planned style well.
Traveling by foot is oftentimes quite difficult to capture in a realistic-looking way, because, let’s face it, we’re just walking along.
Occasionally I do a silly sprint to be in front of the models, but oftentimes I’ll just stick along and photograph their necks. Or something.
Sometimes the journey is not as important as the destination.
Jenni was somewhat terrified of the thought that ticks might be present with the girls just laying there on the ground. Luckily a catsuit covers most of the body. But not everything…
No ticks were found at this point. Tuire busted out her scary-looking wooden sickle-thingies, that would have been even more scarier should they have been made from sharpened metal.
Or human bones. That’s pretty spooky.
Supposedly they are used in flow arts, and such is the way Tuire spun them. There’s a video coming soon-ish to Project L’s YouTube page. Make sure to follow, if you haven’t yet done so! 14,000 people can’t be wrong.
Tuire is used to the ways of “scooting”, as the young folks say. When I was a child, these things had no engines, and we had to kick ourselves up the hill to school and back for forty kilometers while it was snowing and raining and the wolves were after us!
There might be a slight exaggeration there somewhere, but I’m not exactly sure where.
This was Jenni’s first time on an electric scooter. I was given a chance, but I had to pass. I’m way too prone for bizarre accidents.
Things got dead-serious when Tuire got out her selfie stick. My question of “those still exist” were met with a plain and simple answer: “Yes, it’s pretty handy”.
And yeah, it is nice to have more options to improve your selfie game. Can’t argue with that.
So the project was over.
Or was it?
After being introduced to latex for the first time in the 76th project, Jenni had ordered herself a new dress from a Finnish latex tailor, Tiina Rikala.
So of course we had to shoot with it.
And here we are. This is now the second Project L with the redesigned style. There were some minor changes here and there, and maybe a bit less of the boxes covering up the photos.
Leave a comment, drop a like on our Facebook or share the site if you feel like doing so.
Please also remember that Project L runs on your continued support from Patreon. By supporting the project through Patreon you can gain access to high-resolution images, exclusive photos and videos and an exclusive Discord server only for Patrons and the project’s models.

There is a new polar bear genetics paper out in the Journal of Heredity, by University of Alaska Fairbanks genetics professor Matt Cronin and colleagues. Matt Cronin, in case you didn’t know, was the first to pick up the close genetic relationship between polar bears and grizzlies, as a result of research he and colleagues did back in the early 1990s (Cronin et al. 1991).
Figure 1 from Cronin et al. 2014 (in press) showing the locations of bear samples used in their genetic study. MT, Montana; AK, Alaska; Polar bear samples were taken from the Chukchi, Beaufort and Barents Sea populations.
While no earth-shattering new information was revealed in this new study, reported over the weekend by the Alaska paper SitNews (March 15), it used a more detailed method to confirm the results of previous work – that polar bears have been around long enough to have survived several past Interglacial periods that were warmer than today (with less ice in the Arctic) and are genetically distinct from grizzlies.
A feature that really set this work apart was how it was promoted.

The authors of a new paper out in PLoS Genetics (Cahill et al. 2013, entitled “Genomic Evidence for Island Population Conversion Resolves Conflicting Theories of Polar Bear Evolution”) propose to explain how and why the brown bears (aka grizzlies) of the ABC islands of southeast Alaska (Admiralty, Baranof, and Chicagof – see previous post here), got to be so genetically distinct from brown bears on the Alaska mainland and so surprisingly similar (genetically) to polar bears. The authors determined (using a model) that this genetic pattern could be explained by an ancient hybridization event resulting from female polar bears cavorting with male brown bears in SE Alaska.
I had some issues with the way the paper was promoted by some of the co-authors, which I dealt with separately here. More importantly, I found the scenario these geneticists offered to explain how hybridization might have occurred to be patently implausible. Geological and fossil evidence from SE Alaska largely refutes their scenario, although another explanation may be more tenable. It is not impossible, in my opinion, that hybridization occurred in SE Alaska during the last Ice Age, but if it did, it almost certainly did not happen the way Cahill and colleagues suggest.

A new paper out in the journal PLoS Genetics proposes that a hybridization event between female polar bears and male brown bears (aka grizzlies) occurred in Southeast Alaska at the end of the last ice age. I’ll get to a discussion of the paper itself (coming in a day or two) but first I have a few things to say about the global warming hyperbole generated by the people promoting the paper. I found it simply mind-boggling.
While the paper itself (Cahill et al. 2013: “Genomic Evidence for Island Population Conversion Resolves Conflicting Theories of Polar Bear Evolution”) contains only one short phrase that could possibly be interpreted as linking the results to future scenarios of catastrophic global warming, some of the co-authors have made statements (for the press release and in media interviews) that spin the global warming mantra right over the top.

Good morning, it’s already the 6th day of the year, wow times flying. If you’re an author then you’ll want to read this post, and even if you’re not and you file taxes, take a few minutes to check this out.
Here’s a list of expenses that you can claim as a published author if you have royalties to claim as income.
Writing program expenses (Ex. Word, Powerpoint, Scrivener, etc.)

Dues (Ex. Romance Writers Associations, Writing Associations, etc.)

Ross Read v Brittini Alexa Keyfauver (2013) H&FLR 2015-15
Arizona Court of Appeals
27 August 2013
Coram: Norris PJ, Gemmill and Brown JJ
Appearing for the Plaintiff: Mr Thomas Richardson and Ms Raechel Barrios (of Friedl Richardson) and Mr David Abney (of Knapp & Roberts)
Appearing for the Defendant: Messrs Joel DeCiancio and Christopher Robbins (of DeCiancio Robbins) and Ms Diane Lucas and Mr Michael Ferraro (of Diane M Lucas PC)
Catchwords: Arizona – police officer – rescue – negligence – firemans rule
Facts: The plaintiff was a police officer. While issuing a ticket to a motorist on Interstate Highway 17, he saw a vehicle driven by the defendant go out of control and roll, coming to rest on its roof. The plaintiff ran to the vehicle and saw the defendant scratching at the window. The plaintiff instructed her to cover her face, after which he kicked the window in, placed his foot on the door frame, extracted the defendant and placed her on the ground. He administered first aid until paramedics arrived. While extracting the defendant the plaintiff suffered a significant left knee injury.
The plaintiff sued the defendant on the basis that her negligent driving had led to his injury. The defendant sought to have the claim dismissed based on the “fireman’s rule”, whereby injured emergency services workers cannot sue a person whose negligence has created the situation to which the worker was responding and suffered injury (1). The trial court agreed and dismissed the claim: Read v Keyfauver (Maricopa Co. Super. Ct., Miles J., date unknown, unreported). The plaintiff appealed.
Held: Per curiam, dismissing the appeal, that
1. In general, an injured rescuer is entitled to claim damages from the person whose negligence created the need for rescue. As a matter of legal policy, injury to a rescuer is taken to be a foreseeable consequence of the original negligence. (2)
Espinoza v Schulenburg, 212 Ariz. 215, 129 P.3d 937 (2006), approved.
2. An exception to the rule, however, is that a rescuer cannot recover damages if they are performing their duties as a professional emergency services worker. This includes firefighters and police officers. Ultimately this rule is justified as a matter of public policy. (3)
Espinoza v Schulenburg, 212 Ariz. 215, 129 P.3d 937 (2006); White v State, 220 Ariz. 42, 202 P.3d 507 (Ariz. Ct App., 2008); and Grable v Varela, 115 Ariz. 222, 564 P.2d 911 (Ariz. Ct App., 1977) approved.
3. The fireman’s rule does not apply to off-duty emergency services workers who voluntarily respond to an emergency. The key to this exception is whether the worker is on the scene as a result of their on-duty obligations. Because the plaintiff was on already on the scene as a result of his professional duties, he was covered by the fireman’s rule and unable to sue.
Espinoza v Schulenburg, 212 Ariz. 215, 129 P.3d 937 (2006)
The Court’s judgment is available here.
(1) The leading case on the point is Krauth v Geller, 157 A.2d 129 (N.J. 1960).
(2) Accord Videan v British Transport Commission 2 QB 650 (Eng. Ct App.) and Horsley v MacLaren SCR 441 (Can.)
(3) The rule does not have uniform jurisprudential support. See Club Italia (Geelong) Inc v Ritchie, 3 VR 447 (Vic., 2001).

What did Achilles, Odysseus, and Agamemnon sound like? Up until the 1950s you would have been directed to the earliest form of “classical Greek”, the archaic form of ancient Greek found in the lyrics of The Iliad and The Odyssey, as well as a few other texts. However, the heroes of these epics were held to have lived centuries before (if they had existed at all), so while they spoke in Homeric Greek in the poems, their actual language might have been different.
The 19th century was a period of rediscovery by Europeans of the historical roots of these ancient classics. Heinrich Schliemann famously uncovered Troy in Anatolia, in what is now eastern Turkey by the Dardanelles. His methods were a bit crude – dynamite is not normally considered to be a basic tool in archaeology – but he confirmed that one could peer past the texts of antiquity and find something that, if not verifying the Trojan War, certainly might have provided the seed for epics centuries later. Schliemann also excavated the Bronze Age sites of Mycenae (“Mee-ke-nee”) and Tiryns (“Tir-inz”) in the north-eastern corner of the Peloponnese, and labelled the common civilization that flourished from the 16th to the 12th century BCE as Mycenaean (which is usually pronounced in English, perversely, as “My-sen-ian”). In 1900 Sir Arthur Evans began excavations at a site in Crete, believing it to be the ancient Knossos of the legendary King Minos of minotaur and labyrinth fame. In all three of these locations and elsewhere a type of writing was found on tablets, written on pottery, and as inscriptions. After a fair size corpus of texts had been built up Evans was able to distinguish between two types of related but different writings. The older he called Linear A, and the more plentiful type found in higher, younger levels of the strata he called Linear B. He named the civilization at the site Minoan and declared that he had found Knossos, and the place has been known by that name ever since.
There were attempts to decipher both Linear A and B, but there was no easy success with either. What was evident from the number of symbols was that Linear B seemed to be a syllabary much like Japanese, ancient Egyptian, or Cree – instead of an alphabet, the symbols represented combinations of consonants and vowels, so that, for example, “ba”, “da”, “bi” and “di” would each be represented by a different syllabogram. As well, it appeared that the syllables were supplemented by simple ideograms, images that looked like the things to which they referred, i.e. an ox was represented by something that looked like an ox head. A number of prominent archaeologists and linguists suggested connections with the ancient Hittites, others with Homeric Greek, but all of their solutions were subjective and not very obvious.
The story of how Linear B was finally cracked has been written up many times, but is best told in “The Riddle of the Labyrinth: The Quest to Crack an Ancient Code” (2013) by Margalit Fox. An initial challenge was to get all of the texts onto paper so that some sort of analysis could be done. The heavy lifting on this was done by Professor Alice Kober of Brooklyn College, City University of New York. Starting in the 1930s she transcribed the many hard to read tablets and started to construct grids of associations in forty notebooks, and using over 180,000 cards. She died in 1950, but before then had determined that the language was inflected – that the word endings changed according to what they were doing.
Michael Ventris, an architect and highly knowledgeable amateur classicist, deciphered the texts in 1952, building on the work of Kober. He treated it very much as a puzzle, and it was a bit like doing a sudoku by inserting guesses and then seeing if the other numbers would fit in. Many of the guesses were wrong, but working on the assumption that he was dealing with a very old form of Greek he tried out the idea that some of the syllabograms represented place names. This started a cascade of deductions, and in 1952, working with John Chadwick of Cambridge University, they published their results. Ventris, unfortunately, was killed in a car accident just before the publication of Documents in Mycenean Greek. Chadwick carried on the work in Linear B, which continues today.
Much to the disappointment of many, the tablets in Linear B proved to be, for the most part, inventories of oil, gold, tripods, and such. While gods were occasionally mentioned, all that could be determined was that there was some continuity of names between the Mycenean Greeks and the Homeric gods of seven centuries later. So, while there was no real insight into the culture and religion of the Myceneans, there was now significant evidence about their economics and the lifestyles of the rich and powerful. Another important achievement was the demonstration that Greek-speaking peoples had been in Greece as early as the 16th century BCE, something which had been hotly disputed before the decipherment.
What was it like? Unlike modern Greek, with four cases, or classical Greek, with five, nouns in Mycenaean Greek had seven: nominative, genitive, accusative, dative, vocative, instrumental and locative. The “w” sound was present, unlike most dialects of classical Greek where it had entirely dropped out (modern Greeks have difficulty with the sound, as it is now quite foreign). Linear B, as it turns out, was not a good means of writing down a highly inflected language. After the mysterious fall of Mycenaean civilization around 1200 BCE the use of the script ceased, and when the Greeks began to write again in the 8th century they adopted and adapted the alphabetic script of the Phoenicians.
Linear A, the writings system of the earlier population Evans called “Minoan” is clearly related, but the language it represents does not appear to be Greek or any other known ancient language. It may represent an ancient language like Etruscan or Basque that pre-dates the arrival of languages belonging to the Indo-European family.

During the Cold War, the Soviet Union captures U.S. pilot Francis Gary Powers after shooting down his U-2 spy plane. Sentenced to 10 years in prison, Powers' only hope is New York lawyer James Donovan, recruited by a CIA operative to negotiate his release. Donovan boards a plane to Berlin, hoping to win the young man's freedom through a prisoner exchange. If all goes well, the Russians would get Rudolf Abel, the convicted spy who Donovan defended in court.

A bit of Hollywood comes to Village Wines at Castle Pines
GoGi Cellars owner Kurt Russell showcased two pinot noirs and a chardonnay called “Goldie” during the first “Meet the Winemaker” event held by Village Wines at Castle Pines. Owners Brad (left) and Braden (right) Dodds were encouraged by the feedback they received from the attendees, and plan to host similar events each month.

Brad and Braden Dodds, the father and son team that owns Village Wines at Castle Pines, have started a new tradition. Each month, the shop plans to host “Meet the Winemaker” events whereby customers are able to meet the owners and winemakers of the various wines that are carried by Village Wines.
Braden Dodds has worked at numerous wineries, vineyards and tasting rooms throughout the world, and has developed relationships with many winemakers, winery owners and growers. “I am very interested in connecting my clientele with the people behind the brands, so that they feel confident in their purchase, and have a connection with each bottle they pop from their wine cellar.”
The events are free of charge and are by invitation only, as the Dodds’ match their clientele with the various wines that will be tasted. The first “Meet the Winemaker” event took place in September, when the shop brought in Hollywood star Kurt Russell, the owner of GoGi Cellars in Santa Barbara. The Dodds’ invited approximately twenty of their customers who regularly purchase pinot noirs and chardonnays, as those were the wines that were showcased during the event. Local restaurant “The Social” provided food pairings that complemented the wines, creating a memorable and educational experience.
Although they can’t promise a Hollywood star at every tasting, the Dodds’ hope to make each Meet the Winemaker event an educational and enjoyable experience for their guests. Customers are encouraged to ask about future events and tastings.
Village Wines is located at 872 W. Happy Canyon Rd. #110 in The Village at Castle Pines. For additional information, visit www.vwacp.com or call 303-663-9463.

An unnamed charity is the recent beneficiary of a bit of philanthropy from Apple CEO Tim Cook, according to a recent SEC filing. Cook donated 23,215 Apple shares to the charity, and at closing time on the day the gift was reported, those shares came to a combined value of $4,992,153.
That reportedly leaves Cook with 878,425 shares of Apple (plus plenty of unvested shares) under his control, which are themselves worth over $188 million. There's no word, as of now, which charity might have been the recipient of Cook's donation, but in the past he's made gifts to organizations such as the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice & Human Rights and the Human Rights Campaign as well as other causes. And he's also expressed his intention to give away his entire fortune to charity eventually, citing his nephew's college education as his primary financial goal before that happens.
Despite Cook and Apple's increased interest in philanthropy, Apple has no charitable foundation unlike most companies of comparable size. The CEO spoke last year to Fortune on why that is:
"I looked at it in early 2012. And I decided not to do it. And here's why. When a company sets up a foundation, there is a risk, in my judgment, of the foundation becoming this other thing that is not connected to the company. It has a separate board of directors. They make reasonably independent decisions sometimes. It becomes a separate thing. I don't want that for Apple. I want everybody involved. Because I think that the power that we bring, the things that we can do is because we're stronger — it's with our unity there. It's when we put all of ourselves in it … If we had a foundation, my fear was it becomes something that 10 or 12 or 20 or 50 people do. And all of a sudden for the 120,000, it's just this separate thing out there. People work here to change the world. So I think that should be integral to what the company does. Not peripheral in a foundation."
The filing doesn't specify exactly when the gift was made, but only the required disclosure that such a gift was made. In 2015, he made a similar gift of Apple stock to a charity that also went unnamed.

Yesterday, I shared new research showing that diabetes drugs may be able to slam the brakes on Alzheimer’s-related brain changes. But I also reminded you that there are plenty of drug-free ways to take on this dreaded diagnosis as well.
Today, I want to drive that point home with another study I recently came across. One that illustrates just how shockingly safe and simple the fight against cognitive decline can be…
Three key brain health biomarkers
This research focused on a handful of significant Alzheimer’s biomarkers: telomerase activity, telomere length, and blood levels of beta-amyloid 40.
Now, you may recall my previous discussions about telomeres, which are the strands of DNA that cap and protect your chromosomes. Think of them like the little plastic pieces on the ends of your shoelaces. They keep the laces from fraying. And telomeres help keep your DNA intact.
But they shorten with age and ongoing cell division, which leaves chromosomes vulnerable and contributes to disease — including neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. So it’s imperative to find ways to either lengthen or maintain your telomere length.
The role of beta-amyloid in Alzheimer’s development, on the other hand, isn’t quite as straightforward — despite the black-and-white attitude that a lot of researchers seem to have on the subject.
Take beta-amyloid 40, for example. This specific type of beta-amyloid is emerging as a critical biomarker for Alzheimer’s, based on its ratio to other forms of beta-amyloid in the blood. And, in fact, higher levels of it appear to be helpful in this case — not harmful.
Which is exactly what makes the results of this latest research so impressive…
Meditate your way to a better memory
Researchers randomly assigned a group of 60 older subjects with subjective cognitive decline to two short and simple daily activities. One group engaged in just 12 minutes of music listening every day, while the other group practiced Kirtan Kriya — a type of yoga meditation — for the same amount of time.
The scientists assessed the above-mentioned blood markers before the study, and then again after three months of the music listening and yoga meditation. They also assessed for clinical factors like memory, cognitive function, mood, sleep, stress levels, and quality of life.
After just 12 weeks, the meditation group had a particularly notable increase in levels of beta-amyloid 40 — and pronounced improvements in memory, cognitive function, mood, sleep, and quality of life to go along with it.
But there’s more. Telomerase — an enzyme that maintains telomeres — was more active in both groups. Plus, telomeres were longer because of it (and a sign of increased longevity). But the effect was especially noticeable among subjects who had less telomerase activity to start with, and who were particularly dedicated to their meditative practices.
The takeaway: In this case, at least, changes in certain Alzheimer’s biomarkers led to measurable improvements in cognitive health. And achieving that feat could be as simple as just 12 minutes of yoga meditation daily.
That’s at least a little more of a positive result than what you can expect from the small, sad crop of high-dollar Alzheimer’s drugs currently available. And like so many of the other strategies I’ve shared with you here, it won’t cost you a penny.

MANILA--TNT reclaimed the solo top spot in the PBA Governors' Cup standings after turning back Columbian, 125-120, on Saturday night at the Ynares Center in Antipolo.
Hours after the San Miguel Beermen tied them in the conference table in Dubai, the KaTropa quickly got first place back after a 12-5 run late in the game gave them the lead for good, 123-117, after the Dyip were up, 110-109, midway in the fourth quarter.
Columbian still had a chance to force overtime when CJ Perez converted a three-pointer that cut the lead down to three, 123-120, with a minute left.
However, TNT's defense kept the team scoreless from thereon, and RR Pogoy made two free throws with 11 seconds remaining for the dagger.
KJ McDaniels made 29 points, 17 rebounds, six assists, five blocks, and one steal for the KaTropa, who are now 4-0 after the victory.
Pogoy added 27 points, eight rebounds, one assist, and three steals, while Jayson Castro put up 25 markers, two boards, six dimes, and one steal.
Khapri Alston made 38 points, 13 rebounds, two assists, and four steals for the Dyip, who fell to 2-2.
Rashawn McCarthy tallied 26 markers, five caroms, five dimes, and one steal, while Perez added 23 points, seven rebounds, three assists, and three steals.

We arrived in Spencer late Tuesday night. On Wednesday, we woke up to find the grass was over Spencer’s head and there was no hot water. Other than that, the place was in pretty good shape (probably because of Ellen’s March visit). So we gave the kids old fashioned sink baths with water heated on the stove and got to work. We set up beds and Spencer helped vacuum. Friends and neighbors helped us prepare for company.
Rob and Dave joined us late Friday night. Drew and Geebi got in on Saturday afternoon. The Felty’s and Sadie drove in Saturday evening. We grilled out and enjoyed each other’s company. Family time included the cousins playing where Drew and I used to play with the toys we used to play with. Part of the joy of generations is seeing these patterns play out.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Minneapolis police have identified a suspect in connection to the “Umbrella Man” seen breaking windows and helping to incite a riot during the George Floyd protests.
According to police, the suspect was seen in viral videos breaking glass of the Auto Zone in south Minneapolis on the late afternoon of Wednesday, May 27. Looting and arson incidents started not long after. Until then, the protests were relatively quiet, according to police.
“The actions of this person created an atmosphere of hostility and tension … this individual’s sole aim was to incite violence,” Minneapolis police said.
The suspect is also believed to have spray painted “free s— for everyone zone” on the front doors of the Auto Zone.
For weeks, attempts to identify the suspect have been unsuccessful. That is until a tip was emailed to Minneapolis police in July.
The tip identified the “Umbrella Man” as a 32-year-old man who is a member of the Hell’s Angels and wanted to “sow discord and racial unrest” by breaking the windows and spray painting what he did.
Police confirmed that the man is a member of the Hell’s Angels and an associate of the Aryan Cowboys, which is a known prison gang out of Minnesota and Kentucky. The suspect is also believed to be involved in a recent incident in Stillwater where a Muslim woman claimed she was racially harassed by biker gang members wearing Aryan Cowboys vests.
According to police, the man has a striking resemblance to the “Umbrella Man” including facial features and height.
A search warrant has been filed to view all cell phone activity from the suspect on the day of May 27. Police did not mention any arrests being made.
WCCO does not name suspects until they have been formally charged.

The little Arklets are back and raring to go...especially as our roleplay area is now a "Show". As we speak, the instruments are playing, voices are singing and the wigs and plastic clip-clop shoes are being worn! And that is just the boys ;)
We are continuing our topic of Nursery Rhymes as these provide vital skills, and are fun! The nursery rhymes topic has really brought children out of themselves and the confidence levels are soaring (which is a delight to see!). We LOVE playing the children's "music videos" on the interactive whiteboard and watching them sing their Nursery Rhyme of the Week. This week's rhyme is Little Miss Muffet!
We have been making playdough spiders with lots of us counting out eight eyes and eight legs for our creations. We have read AHHHHHH! Spider and talked about being scared of things, looking at scared faces and talking about how it is ok to be scared but also thinking of how to overcome things which scare us.
This half term in our Phase 1 Phonics we are learning about initial sounds. We are tuning our ears and brains into listening for particular sounds at the beginning of words. This will be super helpful when we go to Big School as we will have begun distinguishing sounds that we hear in words. This week's Sound of the Week is /s/. We have a new display board with all things /s/; snakes, spoons, smelly socks, sausages and popular characters like Scooby Doo, Snow White and Spiderman.
We have been playing I-Spy with a picture on the interactive whiteboard, drawing around things beginning with /s/. We have also been playing our game on the whiteboard where we have to select only the things beginning with /s/. Phonic Fairy has read us a story about a snake and has shown our Mummies and Daddies how to say the sound properly ;)
We have been assessing our numbers to ten, with many children now knowing all their numbers 0-10!!! And then there is our new Maths focus for the week...positional language. This has meant singing "Where's the Monkey?" which is a definite earworm song! But one teaching us lots of useful words to describe where things are...
Have a fantastic weekend and stay tuned for next week's blog post!

Launched on 25 April from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana, Sentinel-1B has produced its first images only two hours after the radar was switched on – a record time for a space radar.
The first observations were taken a little more than two days after launch, on 28 April at 05:37 GMT, after Sentinel-1B had followed a complicated routine to deploy its 12 m-long radar and two 10-m long solar wings, as well as passing a series of initial checks.
The first image, 250 km wide, captured Svalbard, the Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic Ocean, with the Austfonna glacier clearly visible.
At ESA’s operations centre in Darmstadt, Germany, mission controllers thoroughly checked the satellite’s control, navigation and power systems, among others, during the intense first few orbits. The team also conducted the complex unfolding of the radar wings and solar arrays.
“It may feel a little like a routine because we launched three Sentinel satellites in less than 12 months, but of course it is not,” noted Volker Liebig, ESA’s Director of Earth Observation Programmes.
“Getting a satellite into orbit is always thrilling and every time we do this I am quite nervous. Our engineers and industry have shown what we can achieve with this fourth Sentinel delivering a first image in record time. We have another important part of the Copernicus missions in orbit. A great achievement from a great team.”
Sentinel-1A is used by Copernicus services as well as by many users worldwide, under a free and open data policy. More than 30 000 users have registered to download Sentinel data, taking some 4 million products already.
Sentinel-1A has already helped in coping with many natural disasters worldwide, such as floods and earthquakes.
“With another important milestone reached, we now have the fourth satellite in orbit and the Sentinel constellation as we envisaged it becomes a reality. This will enable our Copernicus services to get better and more data faster – and therefore help generate more information to a broader user community on a full, open and free of charge basis.
„This is exactly what we planned for with Copernicus,” said Philippe Brunet of the European Commission, after the Sentinel-1B launch.
When Sentinel-1B reaches its final orbit, on the other side of Earth from Sentinel-1A, the radar vision constellation will be complete, meeting the coverage and revisit needs of Copernicus.
In the coming months, the satellite will be tested and calibrated before it is declared to be operational.
Each satellite carries an advanced radar that images Earth’s surface through cloud and rain, whether it is day or night.
It is expected that the constellation will produce more than 10 Terabytes of data per day once it is fully operating.
The European Commission leads Europe’s Copernicus environmental programme and coordinates the broad range of services to improve the management of the environment, safeguarding lives every day. ESA is responsible for developing the family of Sentinel satellites and ensuring the flow of data for these services.

A disintegrine and metalloproteinase 10 (ADAM10) is implicated in synaptic function through its interaction with postsynaptic receptors and adhesion molecules. Here, we report that levels of active ADAM10 are increased in Huntington’s disease (HD) mouse cortices and striata and in human postmortem caudate. We show that, in the presence of polyglutamine-expanded (polyQ-expanded) huntingtin (HTT), ADAM10 accumulates at the postsynaptic densities (PSDs) and causes excessive cleavage of the synaptic protein N-cadherin (N-CAD). This aberrant phenotype is also detected in neurons from HD patients where it can be reverted by selective silencing of mutant HTT. Consistently, ex vivo delivery of an ADAM10 synthetic inhibitor reduces N-CAD proteolysis and corrects electrophysiological alterations in striatal medium-sized spiny neurons (MSNs) of 2 HD mouse models. Moreover, we show that heterozygous conditional deletion of ADAM10 or delivery of a competitive TAT-Pro-ADAM10709–729 peptide in R6/2 mice prevents N-CAD proteolysis and ameliorates cognitive deficits in the mice. Reduction in synapse loss was also found in R6/2 mice conditionally deleted for ADAM10. Taken together, these results point to a detrimental role of hyperactive ADAM10 at the HD synapse and provide preclinical evidence of the therapeutic potential of ADAM10 inhibition in HD.

De belangrijkste uitkomsten van het onderzoek op een rijtje:
Paid Search Marketing
- Google paid search spending rose 19% Y/Y in Q4, a slight deceleration for our sample, but in line with Google’s official Q3 revenue growth. Ad clicks rose 14%, CPCs rose 3%.
- Bing search spending rose 54% on 39% higher clicks and 11% higher CPCs. Bing faced weak 2011 comps and had made strides throughout 2012 to improve its once restrictive ad serving logic.
- Mobile drove 20% of paid clicks and 15% of paid search spend in Q4. Mobile CPCs edged up relative to desktop and tablet spending increased 189% Y/Y, outpacing smartphone spending for the seventh quarter in a row. Tablet clicks outpaced smartphone clicks for the fourth quarter in a row.
- The iPad’s share of tablet traffic slipped to 84% by the end of Q4. Kindle Fire models held a 5% share, but delivered a 54% lower ROI than iPad. Windows 8 tablets failed to gain traction.
- Google Product Listing Ads generated 28% of Google non-brand clicks in Q4. PLA CPCs remained 26% lower than CPCs for competitive text ads.
Organic Search & Social
- iOS 6 defaulting to secure search resulted in 10% of organic search traffic being seen as direct by analytics packages. 81% of iOS 6 visits did not pass a referrer.
- Nearly 20% of organic search and direct visits were mobile in Q4. iPad delivered 7.3% of visits, followed by the iPhone at 6.7% and Android devices at 5.2%.
- CPMs for the Facebook Exchange were less than half those of the average display ad. Revenue Per Click was 25% higher.
Comparison Shopping Engines
- Comparison Shopping spending increased 14% Y/Y in Q4, excluding costs associated with Google PLAs.
- Amazon Product Ads commanded 25% of CSE spend and were the largest traffic driver among paid engines.
- Shoppers had an average of 4.3 marketing touches per order in Q4, up from 3.5 in Q3. At the same time, however, 75% of orders involved touches from just a single channel.

Sushant Singh Rajput case: ED to focus on Rhea Chakraborty's two flats
Meanwhile, Bihar police are likely to move SC as BMC refuses to release their Patna City SP from quarantine
THE Enforcement Directorate (ED), which is investigating the alleged suicide of actor Sushant Singh Rajput has summoned actress Rhea Chakraborty for questioning on Friday in relation to two flats she had purchased recently. ED says there is ambiguity over who paid for the properties.
In another development, the Bihar police are likely to approach the Supreme Court (SC) against the quarantining of senior IPS officer Vinay Tiwari by the BMC and are taking legal advice from Bihar's Advocate General for the same.
This comes after Patna Police IG Sanjay Kumar Singh wrote a letter to the BMC demanding that Tiwari be exempted from home quarantine.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED), which is investigating the alleged suicide of actor Sushant Singh Rajput has summoned actress Rhea Chakraborty for questioning on Friday in relation to two flats she has purchased recently.

According to sources in the ED, Rhea has two properties in Mumbai, one of which is in her name and the other in a relative's. ED wants to question Rhea on how she arranged the resources to buy the flats as there is ambiguity over who paid for the properties.
According to sources, Sushant had four bank accounts. Money from the account in the Kotak Mahindra Bank was allegedly transferred to Rhea's account.
"We have issued a summons to Rhea to investigate the transfer of money from Sushant's bank account. The summons has been sent via email," an ED officer said.
According to an ED officer, Sushant also had a farmhouse and a flat in Goregaon. The ED's FIR came after the actor's family registered a case with Patna police. Sushant's father K K Singh has alleged that Sushant had Rs 18 crore in his bank account, of which Rs 15 crore were siphoned off by Rhea.
ED recently questioned Rhea's Chartered Accountants Ritesh Shah and Sandeep Sridhar.

Pfaff adds Mercedes-Benz to its roster of German luxuryJul 4th, 2018
Pfaff today announced the acquisition of a Mercedes-Benz dealership in Kitchener-Waterloo, completing its portfolio of German premium brand offerings.
The dealership, to be known as Mercedes-Benz Kitchener-Waterloo, has deep roots in its community. The brand has been represented in the area for over 50 years. Victoria Star Motors was established in 1989, and under family ownership and operation since 1994, developed a stellar reputation for customer service.
“When I was getting my start in the automotive industry, I worked with the Mercedes-Benz brand from 1982 to 1985,” said Chris Pfaff, President and CEO of Pfaff Automotive Partners. “What I learned about premium products and a premium customer experience has stuck with me, and that’s just one reason I’m so excited to be involved with the brand once again.”
The Alkier family, who built a great business and reputation in the Kitchener-Waterloo area, are moving on, investing their time and effort in opening a new Mercedes-Benz dealership in Zug, Switzerland. We wish them all the best in their new venture, and we are committed to building on that solid foundation and maximizing the brand’s potential in Kitchener-Waterloo.
In addition to the core Mercedes-Benz passenger car models, Mercedes-Benz Kitchener-Waterloo is an AMG Performance Center, a Mercedes-Benz van center, and a Smart retailer. This means that Pfaff customers have more choice than ever for premium German vehicles; they can now choose from Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche for their driving needs. Our commercial clients now also have even better access to the world’s best and most versatile vans.
We are particularly excited about the addition of the AMG model lineup to our high-performance offering. Mercedes-Benz has invested massive resources and effort in developing AMG product over the last several years, culminating in the launch of the AMG GT, the first AMG-developed vehicle; more AMG-specific models, including a four-door coupe, are on their way. You can expect to see more AMG models at Pfaff track days!
Located at 125 Centennial Road in Kitchener, Mercedes-Benz Kitchener-Waterloo’s 41,000 sq.-ft facility is easily accessible from the Guelph, Cambridge, and Waterloo areas.

New Year's Traditions Around the World
It’s time to celebrate another new year! If you’re tired of the same old traditions and looking to spice up your New Year’s Eve party — or if you simply want to learn about other countries’ celebrations — check out this list of New Year’s traditions from around the world.
New Year’s Food
- Spain’s 12 Grapes - In Spain, many people eat 12 grapes as the clock strikes midnight. Each grape consumed gives you good luck for one of the months of the upcoming year.
- Armenia’s Bread - On New Year’s Eve in Armenia, the matriarch of a family will bake bread for the family to eat, hiding a coin in the dough. Whoever gets the slice of bread with the coin in it will have the best year!
- Austria’s Pigs - Many Austrian people believe that pigs are good luck and will eat some form of pork to celebrate the upcoming year.
- The American South’s Black-Eyed Peas - If you live in the southern region of the U.S., you probably know that eating black-eyed peas on New Year’s Eve is a must to have a great year!
- Mexico’s Tamales - Many people in Mexico eat tamales to celebrate the beginning of the year. Yum!
- The Netherland’s Oliebollen - In the Netherlands, people eat oliebollen, a fried ball of dough similar to a donut to ring in the new year.
- Poland’s Pickled Herring - It may sound a little odd, but pickled herring is a big deal in Poland during New Year’s — as it brings a good year ahead.
- Italy’s Lentils - In Italy, lentils bring a favor on your next year when you eat them on New Year’s.
- Russian Salads - On New Year’s Eve in Russia, no meal is complete without a salad. One of the most popular is an Olivier salad.
Organize snacks for a New Year's Eve party with a sign up. SAMPLE
- Denmark’s Broken Plates - In Denmark, there’s a tradition of breaking a plate on your neighbor’s front step to bring them good luck.
- The Philippines’ Circles - Since circles are a shape that bring good luck, on New Year’s you’ll find round things everywhere in the Philippines — from food and coins to everyone wearing polka dots.
- Greece’s Onions - This might be one of our favorites. On New Year’s Eve, Greek families will hang an onion by the door and wake children up by putting the onion on their heads! The onion symbolizes growth and rebirth.
- Brazil’s Underwear - You may not see this tradition, but in Brazil, people wear red underwear to ring in the new year, as it brings good luck.
- Burma’s Water - In Burma, people throw water on each other as a sign of cleansing for the year to come.

- Colombia’s Empty Suitcases - In Colombia, if you want to travel in the next year, you should carry an empty suitcase down the street on New Year’s Eve.
- Brazil’s White Flowers - In Brazil, people wish on white flowers and throw them into the ocean hoping they’ll come true.
- China’s Red Envelopes - In China, red envelopes full of money are gifts that bring good luck.
Collect RSVPs for a bonfire and chili party with a sign up. SAMPLE
- Mexico’s Colors - In Mexico, it’s a tradition to decorate your house in a color symbolizing your hope for the new year. If you want success in love, decorate in red. If you want a successful career, try yellow. If you want money, decorate in green.
- Scotland’s Fire - In Scotland, you’ll see lots of fire on New Year’s Eve as people walk through the streets carrying flaming torches for good luck.
- China’s Red Doors - To celebrate the new year in China, doors are painted red to symbolize prosperity for the next year.
- Ireland’s Mistletoe - If you want to get married in the next year, do as the Irish do and put some mistletoe underneath your pillow on New Year’s Eve.
- Iceland’s Bonfires – As a sign of purging the past year the landscape of Iceland is decorated with bonfires on New Year’s Eve.
However you celebrate, we wish you a Happy New Year!

Inside Man presents readers with an exercise in modeling human ways of being—thinking, feeling, acting. This book does not merely introduce models, but also attempts to teach modeling and to produce, within the reader, the predispositions and attitudes of the modeler: a distance from the individual whose behavior is modeled, an engineering approach to the model-building process, a (self)-critical approach to the model testing and elaboration process, and a pedagogical and a therapeutic approach to enacting and communicating models. Author Mihnea C. Moldoveanu makes the process and the phenomenon of modeling transparent and explicit, and clarifies the reasons for which modeling human behavior has to be an interactive process between the modeler and the modeled. This perspective situates Inside Man at the intersection of analytical and computational thinking about rationality, reasoning, choice and thinking, and the tradition of action science and action research.
About the author
Mihnea C. Moldoveanu is Desautels Professor of Integrative Thinking at Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto, where he is also Director of the Desautels Centre for Integrative Thinking. He is Founder, past Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Technology Officer of Redline Communications Group, Inc.
"Moldoveanu creates a new framework that is exciting because it questions existing ideas, and provides advice as to how to overcome existing gaps and inconsistencies that are accessible to scholars and practitioners."
—Chris Argyris, Harvard Business School, Director Emeritus, Monitor Group, and author of Organizational Traps: Leadership, Culture, Organizational Design
"Inside Man is a fascinating and highly original treatise on the idea of understanding complex systems by interacting with them. It offers not only a new way of understanding complex systems that understand you back (such as human beings) but also an outline of a methodology for doing so. Experienced, real-world modelers will find much which resonates in terms of the limits of 'scientific' arms-length modeling, and an inspiring and thought provoking alternative, which will have profound practical implications for their art."
—Martin Reeves, Senior Partner and Director, BCG Strategy Institute
"Mihnea Moldoveanu's new book, Inside Man, stands out as an intellectual tour de force. For social scientists—from hard-core game theorists to soft-core behavioralists and to those in-between—who seek to model human action, Moldoveanu's deep, systematically developed insights and practical advice should prove invaluable. By complementing the familiar descriptive, prescriptive, and normative categories, Inside Man's development of 'ascriptive' science, if heeded by practitioners, should elevate the art and science of formal modeling."
—James K. Sebenius, Harvard Business School and author of 3-D Negotiation: Powerful Tools to Change the Game in Your Most Important Deals
"Traditionally, the business-school classroom has promoted the virtues of action. This book promotes the virtues of thinking—even of thinking about how we think. Read this book, think, and, only then, act!"
—Adam Brandenburger, Stern School of Business, New York University and author of Co-opetition

New York Chef Vikas Khanna Executes Epic Food Drive In Delhi-NCR
Khanna kicks off the largest food drive in the world-‘Barkat’, across Delhi-NCR providing relief to the distressed
Offering his support and help all the way from New York City, celebrity chef Vikas Khanna is contributing to aiding the distresses during these difficult time. Khanna has always been a remarkable example for his samaritan work and has yet again come forward to assist those who need it the most.
On 10 June, Khanna kicked off the largest food drive in the world- ‘Barkat’, all across Delhi-NCR to provide care and relief to afflicted communities like the transgenders, differently-abled and sex workers who’ve had to face the hardships of this pandemic in a very grave way. With ‘Barkat’, Khanna’s aim is to distribute about 2 million meals in just one day.
In an interview where he discussed ‘Barkat’ he spoke about how he is grounded to be working for the benefit of those who truly need it- people with disabilities, sex workers, trans people, patients diagnosed with AIDS, orphanages, old age homes and leprosy entries.
The initiative will help in distribution of over 10,000 ration and essential items in NCR by the good people at NDRF to all the aforementioned communities.
Khanna will also extend a helping hand to a rather forgotten section of our society that are abandoned parents. His heart aches for these parents who have been abandoned to be left to fend for themselves. Elated to receive the loving response that he’s gotten for this initiative he spoke about how happy he feels to be able to do something like this, much beyond the happiness of receiving a Michelin star. Under this food drive, he will also be helping migrants displaced during the pandemic with food and ration.
Vikas’ dedication to the cause is heart warming and what’s truly commendable is to see him concerned about the horrific situation in the nation despite not being here.

California Great America History
California's Great America (formerly known as Marriott's Great America and Paramount's Great America) is a 100-acre (40 ha) amusement park located in Santa Clara, California. Owned and operated by Cedar Fair, it originally opened in 1976 as one of two parks built by the Marriott Corporation. The park has appeared in 1994 films Beverly Hills Cop III and Getting Even with Dad and features over 40 rides and attractions. One of its most notable attractions, Gold Striker, has been featured as a top-ranked wooden roller coaster in Amusement Today's annual Golden Ticket Awards publication.
Marriott's Great America, built by hotel and restaurant operator Marriott Corporation, opened to the public on March 21, 1976. Less than two weeks later on May 29, the company opened a second Marriott's Great America – later known as Six Flags Great America – north of Chicago in Gurnee, Illinois. A third park was initially planned for the Baltimore–Washington Metropolitan Area, but the idea was later abandoned after several failed attempts to sway local opposition. The Park opened up with the carousel. Which is still there at the park entrance to this day, a horse and cart and a car merry go round. A childrens park a twin track self drive car ride, Swing and big wheel and the popular cable car ride across the park. and they also had a few shows including a animal show. But the main draw into the park was Demon (named Turn of the Century from 1976 - 1980) a Arrow Development coaster with a height of 102ft and a top speed of 50mph and included 4 inversions. This coaster is still at the park now and its still has popular has ever.
In 1977 Marriott Great America opened its second thrill ride with Tidal Wave. A schwarzkopf shuttle loop launch coaster with a top speed of 57Mph, The 0 - 57mph coaster’s launch was powered by a unique weight-drop system. A multi-ton weight was hoisted up inside a cylindrical tower located beneath the highest spike of the coaster’s track. When the weight was dropped inside that tower, a system of cables and pulleys propelled a pusher forward. A iconic 200-foot observation tower provides an overhead view of California's Great America in 1978 and is the very first ride guests encounter upon entering the park. From its magnificent vantage point, guests can view Great America’s grand entrance with the reflection pond fountains and Carousel Columbia, an overall park view, the surrounding hills and even San Francisco on a clear day. Atari launched its three-phase attraction at the park in 1982, featuring an arcade with all the latest coin video releases and a store with every Atari game and accessory.
The park, though profitable, was still an earnings disappointment for Marriott, leading the company in 1983 to explore options to sell. The city acquired the park for $93.5 million from Marriott, which retained 20 acres (8.1 ha) from the sale for development. Caz Development settled and was allowed to build a hotel and office near the park, which the city renamed Great America.
Kings Entertainment Company, who owned and operated other amusement parks, was hired in 1985 to manage Great America for the city. In 1985 the park added another roller coaster to its line up The Grizzly a wooden The ride was designed by Curtis D. Summers and manufactured by Kings Island Construction. It uses traditional tracks with steel wheels on the cars, and, therefore, is designed to maintain positive-g loading on the cars and riders throughout its course.
The Grizzly provides picturesque, behind-the-scenes views of many other attractions, including Barney Oldfield Speedway and Demon. It also delivers unique perspectives of Xtreme Skyflyer and Drop Tower.
Recent years have delivered new wood on numerous parts of The Grizzly, creating a much smoother ride and improved rider experience on the park’s longest ride.
Blue Steak is a steel kiddie roller coaster the coaster was designed by Intamin AG and opened in 1987. The coaster had a Smurfs theme to it when it opened, as well as the section "Smurf Woods", a Smurf village with mushroom houses. Smurf Woods was closed in the early 1990s, Woodstock Express which its now known is the third-oldest coaster at Great America. With one pint-sized plunge, gentle turns and moderate speeds, Woodstock Express gives young riders a gentle coaster experience and one for all the family. The next year the perfect way to cool down was a trip down Rip Roaring Rapids and its outdoor water adventure. Take the entire family on a white water rafting expedition as you navigate down a rugged river course in a 6-person raft. the self-guided tour includes whitewater challenges and slow relaxing spots reminiscent of a real rafting trip. With most of the ride not visible from the park, it truly feels like a ride in the wilderness. Skyhawk made its debut at Great America in 1989. Manufactured by Intamin, this “Flight Trainer” model carried riders approximately 60 feet in the air in “flight cabins.”
The same year the city decided to return the park to the private sector and sold it to Kings Entertainment. In the agreement, the city would earn 5% of all revenue that exceeds $56 million
In to the very early 90's another water ride was added to the park Whitewater Falls the ride provides an intense rush—first ascending a 45-foot waterfall before splashing down and creating a 20-foot wave of water. The splash creates a multi-faceted effect. Whitewater Falls riders in the front and the back of the boat get a little wet. However, the real fun is watching the 20-foot wave of water launched towards the observation deck and seeing unsuspecting onlookers take the brunt of the tsunami!
The biggest investment and the biggest ride added at the park was Vortex. Vortex was a stand-up roller coaster 91ft high with a top speed of 45mph it officially opened on March 9, as Bolliger & Mabillard's second ever coaster after Iron Wolf at Six Flags Great America. Although the layout differs, Vortex is generally the same size as its (former) namesake, Vortex, located in the Carolina Showplace park section at the Cedar Fair owned and operated, cross border amusement park Carowinds,
Paramount Parks (1992–2006)

Flight Deck at California's Great America isn't quite as tall at 102ft, nor as fast at 50mph or long 2,260ft (in length) as its partner, Afterburn at Carowinds
The parent of MTV Networks (including Nickelodeon), then bought Paramount in 1994, allowing Nickelodeon theming and merchandise into the parks as well. Because the park is landlocked in the centre of Silicon Valley, several rides including the classic train ride and the Sky Whirl, a Marriott's Great America signature attraction, were removed to make way for newer attractions.

Cedar Fair Entertainment Company (2006–present)
Cedar Fair, L.P. Today announced that it has completed its acquisition of the Paramount Parks from CBS Corporation in a cash transaction valued at approximately $1.24 billion. Cedar Fair will assume the complete operations and management of the parks immediately.
“The completion of this acquisition is great news,” said Dick Kinzel, Cedar Fair’s chairman, president and chief executive officer. “The five Paramount properties are well-run, top-tier parks in good locations with the potential to do even better. The acquisition brings us access to new markets with attractive demographics, such as northern California, the Carolinas, Virginia / District of Columbia and Toronto. We now have a well-balanced portfolio of operations with four parks producing annual attendance over three million visitors each (Cedar Point, Kings Island, Knott’s Berry Farm and Canada’s Wonderland) and, on a proforma basis, no single park contributes more than 22% of revenues based on 2005 results. Our combined operations now include 12 amusement parks, five outdoor water parks, one indoor water park and six hotels, and will entertain approximately 25 million guests annually.”
The five Paramount Parks consist of Canada’s Wonderland near Toronto, Canada; Kings Island near Cincinnati, Ohio; Kings Dominion near Richmond, Virginia; Carowinds near Charlotte, North Carolina; and Great America located in Santa Clara, California.
Cedar Fair renamed the park California's Great America the same year Great Barrier Reef Wavepool was added to Boomerang Bay

Great America’s Halloween Haunt offers six haunted mazes, CornStalkers, Club Blood Werewolf Canyon and Camp Gonna Getcha Slaughterhouse, CarnEvil four scare zones, three live shows, rides, and shops. The grounds of the park was transformed into an homage to Halloween, complete with ominous fog, cemeteries dotting the landscape, and grinning jack-o-lanterns. The water around the "Scary-Go-Round" is now home to skeletons lounging on the “beach”, floating on rafts, and water skiing behind a skeletal whale. A few even found their way onto the Scary-Go-Round itself. The following year was a quiet year for the park with only the expansion Halloween Haunt.
Saw the retheme of Nickelodeon Central to Planet Snoopy which was a standard move for cedar fair parks; Hanna Barbera references was also removed in KidZville.
After 12 years of service at California's Great America, Cedar Fair has decided to move Invertigo and for it to be relocated to Dorney Park, another Cedar Fair property.On September 19, 2011, Cedar Fair confirmed reports that California's Great America would be sold to JMA Ventures, LLC for $70 million in cash. The sale required approval by the City of Santa Clara, and its city council was scheduled to vote on the matter on December 6, 2011. Cedar Fair, which purchased the park in 2006, expected to use the cash proceeds from the sale to reduce its senior secured debt. However, on December 6, 2011, Real estate investment firm JMA Ventures LLC cancelled plans to buy California’s Great America theme park, a $70 million deal that would have given the San Francisco 49ers partial control of key property near its planned stadium.
The park's owner, Cedar Fair Entertainment Co., said Tuesday that San Francisco-based JMA bowed out of the purchase agreement. Cedar Fair also said it reached a "long-term" agreement with the 49ers on parking and stadium construction, issues that prompted at least two lawsuits in recent years.
Under the deal with JMA, announced in September, the investment firm was slated to pay cash for the 100-acre park in Santa Clara. At the time, JMA said an entity affiliated with the 49ers had been working with it and was expected to partner on the acquisition.
The sale was subject to Santa Clara city approval, as the city owns the land underneath the theme park. The city council had been expected to vote on the matter Tuesday night.
Santa Clara collects $5.3 million per year in base-rent from Cedar Fair. Meanwhile Cedar Fair “reached a long-term agreement with the San Francisco 49ers related to the construction of the stadium and parking for NFL and other stadium-related events for the life of the new stadium.” Which would pay the $5.3 million per year rent to Santa Clara. Back to the rides Several park improvements such as a repaint of Carousel Columbia, Demon and Flight Deck. ADA improvements including an elevator lift entrance for Loggers Run and Vortex. Also, The Grizzly was retracked.
Gold Striker was the park's eighth roller coaster which opened to the public on May 31, 2013. Its 174-foot-long (53 m) tunnel is the longest in the world to be featured on the first drop which stands at 108ft, and it was marketed as the "tallest and fastest (53mph) wooden coaster in Northern California" Originally, California's Great America planned to build Gold Striker for the 2009 season, but issues led to the project's cancellation On January 30, 2013, one of the milestones took place as the ride's lift hill was topped off. On February 20, 2013, California's Great America announced the first drop will be fully enclosed setting the record for world's longest initial drop tunnel on a wooden coaster. On March 6, the park announced they would be holding a first rider auction for Gold Striker. The park was auctioning off the first six trains through April 28. Members of the general public were able to take some early rides in from April 30, 2013 during a promotional shoot the park was doing.

United States President Donald Trump on Wednesday (April 22) signed an order to temporarily block some foreigners from permanent residence in the United States, saying he was doing so in order to protect American workers during the coronavirus pandemic.
The order is to last for 60 days and then will be reviewed and possibly extended. Some critics saw Republican Trump’s announcement as a move to take advantage of the coronavirus crisis to implement a long-sought policy goal of barring more immigrants ahead of the Nov. 3 election.
“In order to protect our great American workers I have just signed an executive order temporarily suspending immigration into the United States. This will ensure that unemployed Americans of all backgrounds will be first in line for jobs as our economy reopens,” Trump said at his daily news conference about the coronavirus at the White House.
He also said it will “preserve our healthcare resources for American patients” afflicted by the coronavirus.
White House lawyers worked all day to craft the language for the order, prompting some officials to say the signing might have to wait for Thursday. But aides described Trump as eager to sign the document.
Trump won the White House in 2016 in part on a promise to crack down on immigration and has made the issue central to his presidency. But many of his major moves trying to curb immigration have been challenged in court and legal experts said this executive order could also face lawsuits.
One U.S. Department of Homeland Security official who requested anonymity said the order would only apply to people applying for permanent residence from outside the United States, not those already in the country seeking to adjust their status.
Trump said the order initially would last for 60 days and could be renewed for the same period or longer, and that a second immigration-focused order was under consideration. (Reuters)
MANILA, Philippines – Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso on Monday called on the public to refrain from visiting the Manila Bay Sands area amid the continuing threat of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
Domagoso made the appeal after incidents of overcrowding during the opening of the Manila Bay Sands over the weekend.
A number of people who wanted to get a peek of the beach during its opening failed to observe physical distancing and many were seen not wearing face mask and face shield.
While understanding the excitement of the people for the project, Domagoso said the public should keep in mind that the threat of COVID-19 is still present.
“Alam ko po marami sa inyo nasisiyahan, nagagalak sapagkat ito’y kakaibang pangyayari. ‘Yong imposible naging posible. Ngunit, paalala ko pa rin na meron pang pandemya. Mayroong pa pong pangamba, panganib sa lungsod ng Maynila,” Mayor Isko said.
Moreno said that since the project has yet to be completed, the area will be closed to the public.
He also asked the city police to ramp up the security in the Manila Bay Sands and to stop people from staying or taking photos and videos of the area.
According to Manila Police Station 5 officer-in-charge Lt. Col. Alex Daniel, they have barricaded the entry points and posted at least 20 policemen to guard the area 24/7.
“Sa ngayong kino-close po natin itong lugar kung saan may proyekto po itong sa white sand so katulad kahapon medyo nalabag po sa ngayon iniiwasan po natin sa ngayon na magkaroon ulit ng ganun so may ginagawa po tayong guildelines sa pagbubukas po ulit nitong proyekto na ito para maayos po natin sa mga susunod na araw kung magbubukas po,” Daniel said.
Ermita Police station commander Police Lt. Col. Ariel Caramoan has been relieved from his post following the local police’s failure to maintain social distancing measures during the event.
Physical distancing is among the health protocols being implemented by authorities to curb the spread of COVID-19. – RRD (with details from Correspondent Dante Amento)
MANILA, Philippines – The government of the United States on Thursday donated hygiene kits and handwashing stations to the city government of Manila in support of the Philippine capital’s fight against the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.
In a statement, US Ambassador Sung Kim said he visited the Delpan Quarantine Facility in Tondo to handover 5,000 hygiene kits and 16 handwashing stations to Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso.
Kim said the hygiene kits could provide additional protection against COVID-19 through the provision of items essential to practicing good personal hygiene.
The kits contain face masks, soap, laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, and toothbrushes.
“The U.S. government is a friend, partner, and ally of the Manileños in facing this pandemic. The American people are pleased to support the City of Manila’s efforts to fight COVID-19,” Kim said.
To complement the donation, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) said it will continue to collaborate with the Manila City Health Office to help ensure that citizens can access quality tuberculosis services during the pandemic as well as to support the rollout of the Department of Health’s “Coordinated Operations to Defeat Epidemic (CODE)” strategy to contain the pandemic.
USAID recently donated two ventilators to the Tondo Medical Center as part of the 100 ventilators that the U.S. government handed over last August 28 to the Philippine government.
To date, the U.S. government has donated over P1 billion ($22.6 million) to support the Philippines’ COVID-19 response.
MANILA, Philippines – President Rodrigo Duterte has directed several government agencies to coordinate and pool their resources for the production and distribution of face masks amid the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.
Under Memorandum Order No. 49 signed by Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea and issued Wednesday, Duterte directed the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to lead other government agencies for the initiative.
These agencies include the Department of Health (DOH), Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), Department of Budget and Management (DBM), Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), and the Presidential Management Staff (PMS).
Among the tasks of the DTI is to consolidate the efforts of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSME) as well as cooperatives and community organizations for the production of face masks.
The DTI is also directed to support TESDA in gaining access to production networks and supplier markets for raw materials and finished products.
The DTI will also coordinate with the DOH to determine the minimum, most cost-efficient and good quality specifications to ensure that the face masks are effective in preventing the transmission of COVID-19.
The DBM will help in the procurement of face masks while the DSWD will be tapped to identify beneficiaries and distribute the government-procured masks to financially disadvantaged and persons with disability, as well as those enrolled under the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino program.
The PMS will monitor the distribution and consolidate a report to be submitted to the president.
Other government agencies and state-run companies were also directed to cooperate and support the program.
“It is imperative to reinforce non-pharmaceutical interventions, such as minimizing face-to-face interaction, wearing of face masks and face shields, and observing social distancing to complement our healthcare facilities and support our health workers in containing the further spread of the COVID-19 virus,” the memorandum read. – RRD (with details from Correspondent Rosalie Coz)
