Policy Paper on Global Governance
March 14, 2013
Through the Policy Paper on Global Governance the European Youth Forum gives a youth perspective to the developments in matters that concern the entire humanity and are dealt with at the global level. It furthermore proposes ways of involving young people and their representative organisations in deliberations of a global scale and impact. The United Nations is highlighted in this paper as the body most relevant to govern global matters, and one that has a remarkable record of standard-setting in the area of human rights. It is however challenged by a need to reform towards more legitimate decisionmaking processes, as well as by still lacking the willingness of its Member States to implement the many instruments that aim at ensuring human rights and human dignity. Moreover, the Policy Paper moreover puts a strong emphasis on how youth organisations can build upon the United Nations' commitment to young people, and importantly contribute to its improvement and strengthening - if only they are given the opportunity and the means to do so. It also calls for the youth voice to be heard in matters of institutional reform, the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals and recognition of specific youth rights. The paper concludes by looking at the role that the World Bank, the G20 as well as Europe play on the global level, and proposes certain steps on how to involve the concerns and needs of young people in these frameworks as well.

night in Gion Incense | Kousaido
～Flowers of Gion where you can feel the fragrance of passing by in modern colors～
At night in Gion, a sweet and glamorous scent that is fragrant as you pass each other. Sandalwood, ylang ylang, amber, etc. were mixed.
It has a gorgeous sweet scent. It has a Japanese-style fragrance typical of Kyoto, but the incense is not so strong.
"Sanshi Suimei" is Kyoto surrounded by mountains that change colors with the seasons and a clear river that retains the remnants of Yuzen Nagashi. It is a series that entrusts such a natural scent to incense. "Kamo no Seseragi" is a dark blue incense inspired by the murmuring of Kamo, with its light blue color. A unisex scent that adds a gentle floral scent to a fresh and refreshing scent. Comes in a paulownia box suitable for storage.
Stick length | 7cm
Burn time | 15 minutes
Made in Japan
- Light only one end of the incense and gently blow out the flame for smoldering.
- Always place the burning incense securely in or onto an appropriate heat-resistant and non-flammable burner or holder with an ash catcher.
- Because ash falling outside of the burner could be hot enough to cause a hazard, make sure all incense ash falls on a fireproof surface.
- Keep both unlit and burning incense out of reach of children, pets, and any other innocent curiosity.
- Avoid storing the incense under high temperature, high humidity, or direct sunshine.
- Take proper fire safety precautions and never leave burning incense unattended.

High resolution NMR-based model for the structure of a scFv-IL-1beta complex: potential for NMR as a key tool in therapeutic antibody design and development.
Wilkinson, I.C., Hall, C.J., Veverka, V., Shi, J.Y., Muskett, F.W., Stephens, P.E., Taylor, R.J., Henry, A.J., Carr, M.D.(2009) J Biol Chem 284: 31928-31935
- PubMed: 19776018
- DOI: https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.M109.025304
- Primary Citation of Related Structures:
2KH2 - PubMed Abstract:
Monoclonal antibodies have recently started to deliver on their promise as highly specific and active drugs; however, a more effective, knowledge-based approach to the selection, design, and optimization of potential therapeutic antibodies is currently limited by the surprising lack of detailed structural information for complexes formed with target proteins. Here we show that complexes formed with minimal antigen binding single chain variable fragments (scFv) reliably reflect all the features of the binding interface present in larger Fab fragments, which are commonly used as therapeutics, and report the development of a robust, reliable, and relatively rapid approach to the determination of high resolution models for scFv-target protein complexes. This NMR spectroscopy-based approach combines experimental determination of the interaction surfaces and relative orientations of the scFv and target protein, with NMR restraint-driven, semiflexible docking of the proteins to produce a reliable and highly informative model of the complex. Experience with scFvs and Fabs targeted at a number of secreted regulatory proteins suggests that the approach will be applicable to many therapeutic antibodies targeted at proteins, and its application is illustrated for a potential therapeutic antibody targeted at the cytokine IL-1beta. The detailed structural information that can be obtained by this approach has the potential to have a major impact on the rational design and development of an increasingly important class of biological pharmaceuticals.

Museo Galileo is proposing two events to celebrate Galileo's 460° birthday.
GALILEO TRA OROSCOPI E CANNOCCHIALI
Guided visit to the Medicean instruments
15 February 2024 at 4:00 p.m.
During the years he spent in Padua, Galileo Galilei made some horoscopes. This lesser-known aspect of the great scientist's activity will be the starting point for introducing participants to some of the museum's extraordinary scientific instruments, evidence of a time when astrology with its calculations and predictions was a widespread practice, which was followed with great interest.
The visit will be held in Italian.
Free admission for museum ticket holders.
Reservation recommended at 0039 055 265311.
CONCERT BY THE FLORENCE UNIVERSITY CHOIR - CANCELLED DUE TO MOURNING
17 February 2024 at 4:30 p.m. - NEW DATE: 16 March 2024 at 4:00 p.m.
Galileo Galilei was well acquainted with the music of his time: his father Vincenzo was a well-known musician and one of his brothers, Michelangelo, was a composer and lutenist. Galileo himself studied the vibration of strings and discovered the relationship between the length of the string and the frequency of the emitted sound. To celebrate him, Museo Galileo is proposing an itinerary through the choral music of his time.
Free admission subject to availability.
Reservations recommended at 0039 055 265311.

Manchester United’s manager, Ruben Amorim, has pinpointed the underlying issues that plagued the team following their hard-fought 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town in the Premier League on Sunday.
The match at Portman Road started brightly for United, with Marcus Rashford finding the back of the net early on, giving the visitors a sense of momentum.
However, the tide turned just before halftime when Ipswich’s Omari Hutchinson struck a stunning equalizer from long range, levelling the score and shifting the dynamics of the game.
In his post-match interview, Ruben Amorim expressed his concerns regarding the team’s decision-making on the field. He emphasized that at this level of professional football, players should inherently possess sound judgment and timing.
“Decision-making is a concern; you don’t need to coach them at this level,” Amorim stated, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. He acknowledged that the execution of certain strategies is lacking and stressed the need for improvement moving forward.
Meanwhile, former Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves shed light on the palpable frustration exhibited by Ruben Amorim during the game.
Hargreaves who was positioned close to the Red Devils’ technical area during the game, observed that the manager appeared particularly irked with several players, including Diogo Dalot, Joshua Zirkzee, Rasmus Hojlund, and Marcus Rashford, at various points throughout the match.
Hargreaves shared his insights with Premier League Productions, noting, “He was pretty frustrated, I’m not going to lie. He was right in front of me and he expressed genuine disappointment with many aspects of the performance.”
Hargreaves elaborated that Amorim had specific concerns about Dalot’s positioning in the first half, which he felt was inadequate. Additionally, the balance in midfield did not meet Amorim’s expectations, leading to further frustration once Zirkzee entered the game. The manager was also dissatisfied with Hojlund’s contributions.
Reflecting on the contrast between pre-match optimism and in-game tension, Hargreaves remarked, “Before the game, we saw all those smiles and all that charm from Ruben Amorim, but during the game, he was really frustrated. I think he realized that this task is going to be significantly tougher than he initially envisioned.”

Patson Daka Leaves Leicester City to Join National Team Ahead of Africa Cup of Nations
Zambian striker Patson Daka, in scintillating form for Leicester City in the English Championship, was notably absent from the team’s impressive 4-1 victory over Huddersfield Town on Monday. Daka, along with Leicester teammates Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi, is set to join the Zambian national team in preparation for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Daka has been a standout performer for Leicester, contributing four goals and two assists in his last five games. The trio’s absence from Leicester’s lineup is a result of their international commitments as they prepare to represent their respective nations in the prestigious continental tournament.
The Zambian national team, also known as the Chipolopolo, will set up camp in Saudi Arabia for a ten-day training session before heading to the port city of San Pedro, where Group F of the AFCON will be based. The training camp in Saudi Arabia will include two friendlies, providing crucial preparation ahead of the tournament.
For Daka, this AFCON will be a significant moment as he makes his debut in the continental championship. The 25-year-old striker played a pivotal role in leading Zambia through the qualifiers and will be eager to make a lasting impact in Ivory Coast, where the 2023 AFCON is scheduled to take place from January 13th to February 11th, 2024. The absence of Daka, Iheanacho, and Ndidi from Leicester City showcases the global nature of football and the honor of representing one’s country on the international stage.

As a mother, your life is filled with endless love, joy, and responsibilities. However, amidst the hustle and bustle of raising children, it’s easy to forget that you are also a wife with desires and needs. At Zeerjama, we believe that mommies are wives too, and it’s essential to rekindle that spark in your marriage. One way to do this is through the power of lingerie.
The Importance of Lingerie in Married Life
Lingerie is not just about looking good; it’s about feeling good. It plays a crucial role in boosting self-confidence and intimacy in a relationship. For married women, especially those with children, wearing lingerie can be a powerful reminder of their femininity and attractiveness.
However, many mothers think that after having kids, they should no longer wear sexy lingerie or indulge in fashionable and fancy underwear. This is a misconception. Motherhood does not mean the end of your sensuality or the need to express yourself through beautiful lingerie.
Breaking the Myth: Embracing Sexy Lingerie
There’s a common belief that once you become a mother, your days of wearing sexy lingerie are over. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Embracing lingerie is about more than just appearance; it’s about reconnecting with your partner and reigniting the passion in your marriage.
Lingerie Sets: Matching lingerie sets can make you feel coordinated and elegant. Whether it’s a push-up bra paired with seamless underwear or a luxurious set of red lingerie, the right ensemble can do wonders for your self-esteem.
Seamless Underwear: Comfortable yet sexy, seamless underwear offers a smooth silhouette under any outfit. It’s perfect for busy moms who need practicality without compromising on style.
Push-Up Bras: Enhance your natural curves and add a touch of allure with a push-up bra. These bras are designed to lift and accentuate, making you feel confident and sexy.
Crotchless Panties: For those special nights when you want to add an element of surprise, crotchless panties are the perfect choice. They are both provocative and empowering, reminding you and your partner of the chemistry you share.
Red and White Lingerie: Colors can evoke emotions and set the mood. Red lingerie is bold and passionate, while white lingerie is pure and romantic. Both can be powerful tools in rekindling the intimacy in your marriage.
The Emotional Benefits of Wearing Lingerie
Wearing lingerie is not just about the physical aspects; it’s about how it makes you feel. Here are some emotional benefits:
- Boosts Self-Confidence: Feeling attractive in lingerie can enhance your self-esteem and body image.
- Enhances Intimacy: Lingerie can reignite the spark in your relationship, making you and your partner feel closer.
- Empowers You: Wearing something sexy can make you feel powerful and in control of your femininity.
Motherhood is a beautiful journey, but it doesn’t mean you should forget about your own needs and desires. Embrace the confidence and sensuality that comes with wearing lingerie. At Zeerjama, we offer a wide range of sexy lingerie, women's underwear, and lingerie sets to help you feel fabulous.
Remember, mommies are wives too. Celebrate your beauty, embrace your sensuality, and enjoy life again with our stunning collection of lingerie. Visit Zeerjama today and find the perfect pieces to reignite the passion in your marriage.

- "Death Mountain
No passage without a
Royal Decree!" - — Sign
The Death Mountain Trail Starting Point is a location from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Located in Kakariko Village, it is the start of the Death Mountain Trail that can be followed up Death Mountain to Goron City. When Link first reaches the starting point, it is gated off and a Hyrulean Soldier guards the area. Link finds out that he needs a royal decree to travel through the barrier, and after receiving permission from Princess Zelda, the Hyrulean Soldier opens the gate and allows Link access to the mountain.
Before Link sets off, the Hyrulean Soldier recommends that he purchase a Hylian Shield from the Bazaar in Hyrule Castle Town, to protect himself from the volcanic downpour of Death Mountain. He tells Link to mention that he was sent by him to receive a discount. Also, the soldier asks Link to pick up the Keaton Mask from the Happy Mask Shop for him, effectively initiating the Happy Mask side quest. If Link has a Keaton Mask, but refuses to give it to the soldier when prompted to, the soldier would shut the gate until Link leaves the area and returns.
When Link returns to Kakariko Village as an adult, he finds the Keaton Mask Soldier gone, and the gate ripped down, making it so anyone can travel in and out.

SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador, JAN. 25, 2001 (Zenit.org).-
The government´s handling of relief aid for this nation´s earthquake victims has come under sharp criticism from a bishop and an aid agency.
The National Solidarity Committee, established by the government to help oversee relief efforts, is not working, according to Caritas-Spain volunteers in El Salvador.
Despite the panel´s promises, as late as Wednesday the Church had not received any government aid for distribution, the volunteers said.
Auxiliary Bishop Gregorio Rosa Chávez of San Salvador, vice president of the solidarity committee, also complained about discrimination in the allocation of aid. This provoked the government to request his replacement as the Church´s representative on the panel.
The Salvadoran government, meanwhile, censured TV Channel 12 for its critical reports on the government and its response to the emergency.
Caritas-El Salvador, which is following a policy of «empty warehouses,» is asking the government to do the same, in order that aid is distributed as soon as possible. Government warehouses, however, have many containers that are yet to be distributed, the group said.
After the earthquake struck El Salvador on Jan. 13, the local Caritas organization mobilized. Caritas implemented an Emergency Operative Plan, in each of the eight dioceses and 350 parishes of the country. Each parish is divided into sectors, with a team responsible for collecting and distributing aid.
These teams make a census of those affected and their needs, which is then sent to the diocesan Caritas and, eventually, to Caritas-El Salvador, which is responsible for organizing the distribution of aid.

At an Oct. 20 Mass inaugurating the new academic year, the president of Mater Ecclesiae, Dominican Father Tommaso Stancati, welcomed students — both religious and lay — from a variety of English-speaking nations in Africa and Asia.
«Our new English section indicates our heightened awareness of the necessity to adapt to what could be defined as a trend in the Catholic Church in the last few decades: The young, yet ancient Churches of Asia and Africa are in fact growing in quality and quantity, and this very vitality represents an important hope for the future of the entire Church,» said Father Stancati.
The opening of an English section, alongside the long-standing Italian section, was in response to numerous requests received by the institute from English-speaking students who wanted to study theology and philosophy in Rome, but in their own language.
Registration at the institute is open until Oct. 31.

Are your software systems able to exchange information and data seamlessly? An AIOps based analytics platform will require information from other software systems to generate meaningful insights. Interoperability with existing software systems can lead to the failure of your AIOps transformation. If your software systems do not allow you to work with other products or systems, it is time to consider an IT transformation first.
What’s the point of using a digital service desk AI software when the tickets generated by the service desk are ignored by your legacy tools? Make sure that your legacy tools are forwarding the tickets that are generated by the services desk for further analysis. If your legacy tools are compatible with an AIOps based analytics platform, it will automatically consume IT incidents from the service desk and generate actionable insights.
Not knowing the problematic areas
You are not undergoing AIOps transformation just for the sake of adopting a new-age technology. The main purpose of using AI in operations management services is to increase the productivity of your IT operations. Besides focusing on the latest trends in the AI industry, you should focus on the problematic areas for which an AIOps transformation is needed. Some of your IT operations might already be efficient and not require the support of an AIOps based analytics platform.
AIOps adoption can be costly and it is better to find the main problem areas that are decreasing the ROI (Return on Investment). Even the best AIOps tools and products have fixed use cases and can’t help you with something out of the box. AIOps transformation can be costly but will be profitable in the long run if used appropriately.
Lack of training data
An AIOps based analytics platform will require training data to be more efficient with time. Data is like fuel to AI/ML algorithms which helps them to learn about the IT processes. Organizations lack at providing training data to AIOps based analytics platforms which eventually leads to the failure of AIOps transformation. Even the big organizations fail to provide training data to AI/ML algorithms to make them better.
If your training data is messy and contains many outliers, your AIOps based analytics platform will not produce meaningful insights. The organizational data is always scattered across various software systems and is unstructured. Without getting a complete view of the organizational data, AIOps based analytics platforms cannot perform to their fullest.
Not knowing about performance metrics
How would you know that your AIOps transformation is going wrong? Well, one way is to wait and let the failed AIOps transformation impact your ROI. Another way is to use performance metrics to know the benefit of AIOps adoption. If you get to know about inefficient AI DevOps platform management services in time, perhaps you could switch to another transformation strategy. Some of the major performance metrics that can help in determining the impact of AIOps transformation are as follows:
- MTTD: MTTD (Mean Time to Detect) is the time invested in finding out an IT incident. If you have adopted AI for application monitoring, the MTTD should decrease.
- MTTR: MTTR (Mean Time to Detect) is the time taken to fix an IT incident. AI in operations management service should always reduce MTTR significantly.
- Service availability: AIOps platforms will always boost your service availability and reliability. If your service availability is not improving, you need a change in your AIOps strategy.
Failing to embrace the change in IT culture
Your IT culture will go through a major change due to AIOps adoption. At first, it would be hard for your employees to trust the decisions of AI data analytics monitoring tools. However, you can create awareness among your employees regarding the pros of AIOps adoption. You can use open box AI/ML tools that can be customized according to the current IT culture in your organization.
In a nutshell
Just like AIOps platforms offer enhanced observability into software systems, you should have observability into AIOps platforms. You can use various performance metrics for measuring the impact of AIOps on your organization. The global AIOps industry has a CAGR of more than 20% indicating the rise of AI in operations management services.

IronNet, Inc. (NYSE:IRNT), an innovative leader transforming cybersecurity through Collective Defense, has been named winner of the prestigious 2021 CybersecAsia Readers’ Choice Award in the Network Monitoring & Observability category. The award recognizes cybersecurity leaders in APAC for their critical roles played and advances and innovations made over the last two years.
IronNet defends enterprises, sectors, and nations against sophisticated cyber attacks and highly organized cyber adversaries. The company’s Collective Defense platform comprises IronDefense and IronDome solutions: IronDefense offers advanced behavioural and pattern-based network detection and response (NDR) capabilities to protect against known and unknown cyber threats, while IronDome provides real-time, collective threat intelligence sharing amongst community members.
The platform provides unparalleled visibility for organizations to see the broad attack surface, and automatically identifies, filters, prioritises, and correlates alerts across participants’ enterprise networks. This advanced early warning system allows organizations to rapidly detect and mitigate even the most sophisticated attacks.
“We are honoured to receive this award and that our customers and peers recognize our efforts to increase security and resilience for the region’s enterprises,” said Gaurav Chhiber, IronNet’s Vice President for APAC and Japan. “Cybercrime is now an organized and sophisticated industry — a threat enterprises can’t counter with traditional practices, tools, and techniques. Defending in isolation no longer works, so IronNet is proud to be acknowledged for our Collective Defense approach and network defense technology that enables a mindshift in the way we think about cybersecurity.”
Victor Ng, Editor-in-Chief of CybersecAsia, also remarked on IronNet’s accomplishment: “IronNet’s IronDefense is probably the most advanced network detection and response platform built to stop sophisticated cyber-threats.” Ng added: “As cyber-attacks are evolving faster than most organizations can manage alone, IronDome – the automated Collective Defense solution from IronNet – allows organizations to collaborate across industries through real-time threat sharing and delivers collective threat intelligence at machine speed for IronDefense to perform even better at ‘Network Monitoring and Observability’. Congratulations to IronNet for winning in this important category!”

10 years of Berlin Underworlds
This successful venture got its start on 22 May 1997 when seven people interested in Berlin’s “underworld” founded the Berlin Underworlds Association in a back apartment building in Berlin. Their goal – and the purpose of the association – is to research and document Berlin’s underground to make it accessible to the public.
For the 10th anniversary in 2007, a varied program was hosted including an Unterworld Congress, theatre performances and the “Underworld Day”. We handled the accompanying media activities.
As a full-service agency, we have been helping Berlin Underworlds with communication activities for newly-introduced tours, special exhibits, panel discussions and theatre productions ever since.
In 2017, we celebrated the 20th birthday with an employee event, a ceremony and a “Long Night of the Underworlds”.
Today, with around 335,000 visitors per year, the Berlin Underworlds are an integral part of Berlin’s cultural landscape.

A few will continue from Finisterre to Muxia or even beyond but for most, it is the end of the line when they reach Finisterre and you can see the reluctance on their faces and the sadness in their eyes. They have reached the land of the Dark Star - the End of the World and the end of their camino.
"After what I thought were a few hours, I returned to the monastery, my home. After entering the front door, none of the monks there were familiar to me. I walked through the different rooms, surprised at what I saw, realising that something strange was happening. When I became aware that nobody recognised me I went to see the Prior, who listened to my story with astonished attention. We went to the library to try to decipher the enigma. Looking through old documents we discovered that around three hundred years before, a holy monk called San Virila who had ruled the monastery had disappered, presumed eaten by wild animals on one of his spring walks in the woods."

Strikingly beautiful young Julia Hastings had been an inexperienced innocent when handsome, high-born Robin Marlowe induced her to elope with him -- only to abandon her without a word of explanation on their wedding night.
Julia was left with her virtue intact but her reputation in tatters. Her life became a struggle to defend herself against gentlemen who henceforth considered her easy prey.
By now, Julia knew better than to trust any man, even when that man was the overwhelmingly attractive Lord Nicholas Daventry, Robin's own uncle. But if Julia had learned how dangerous blissful ignorance was in matters of the heart, she had yet to discover what folly it was to be too wise...
I have really enjoyed some of Layton's books that I have enjoyed in the past so I'm always looking forward to find more. This one didn't quite match my expectations though.
The opening scene is Julia's elopement and the author does make it sound like there is a big mystery surrounding the groom's actions but in the end they were not that mysterious. The action then jumps to a few years afterwards. Julia's reputation suffered, she had to go away and find employment so that her sisters wouldn't suffer from her bad behaviour and she is now working as a governess but thinking of leaving her post.
That's when Nicholas Daventry makes his appearance. He is the uncle of Julia's potential groom in her botched elopement and he seems to believe that Julia was the one who left his nephew and treated him badly when the opposite was true. He is looking for his nephew and came up with a plan to take Julia with him to make the young man happy. We can immediately see that the young man must be an immature idiot who concocted a story to keep his uncle at bay. That he did it by harming Julia once doesn't seem to matter much.
I really didn't like Nicholas Daventry. He is arrogant and domineering; he forces Julia to go with him through a mad and a bit too convoluted scheme and eventually becomes violent when provoked. Even without that I just couldn't believe that taking Julia would be a guarantee that he would find his nephew so I thought it all a bit exaggerated. Since he was a disagreeable character I also couldn't understand how Julia kept giving him the benefit of the doubt or why she kept feeling attracted to him.
They do spend quite some time together till they find Daventry's idiot nephew but I never could overcome my initial dislike of the hero enough to be happy for them. I did like Julia but in my opinion she was too good for that hero. Daventry's stepfather sounded like an intriguing character and I wonder if he has his own book...

AUDITOR GENERAL EXAMINES STUDENT FEES
Over the past year, the Arizona Auditor General examined student fees at Arizona’s public universities.
Tuition and fee reforms are priorities for the board and have been for the past several years. This pattern of reform and incorporating best practices also applies to fee setting. During recent years, ABOR took several steps to ensure the appropriateness of university fees and to provide students transparency into the fee setting process and fee amounts.
- Including fee amounts in course catalogues;
- Developing and providing online price calculators;
- Reviewing the information required in fee setting applications;
- Clarifying policy expectations on which fees need ABOR approval;
- Clarifying fee use requirements;
- Improving fee revenue tracking mechanisms;
- Strengthening the internal audit function;
- Providing web streaming of public hearings on tuition and fee reform; and
- Developing student boards to review fee proposals.
In addition, ABOR restructured the process it uses to review tuition and fee proposals. As part of this new process, ABOR receives and reviews detailed explanations of fee proposals including budget information and holds a public tuition and fee workshop during which tuition and fee proposals are carefully presented and reviewed.
As a result of these efforts and as noted by the Auditor General, ABOR employs many fee setting and management best practices. The board is currently reviewing new reforms to improve transparency around the tuition and fee-setting process, and to ensure even more cost predictability for students and families. Additional policy reforms may include establishment of a fee sunset-review process; increasing transparency of the universities’ fee development process; development of a summary/guide for students detailing the fee setting process and identifying key contact personnel. In 2014, the board rejected proposed policy changes that would have delegated more fee-setting authority to the presidents.
The recommendations from the Auditor General fit well within the board’s continued efforts to continuously work to improve fee and tuition setting processes.

The year 1986. The alarm rings at 5:45. The working mother gets up and rushes through the usual morning chores from waking up all the other members of the family to making their breakfast and packing lunch for everyone. But all of them put together are not half as difficult as the single task of waking up an youngster! In the middle of rushing around to finish cooking and getting ready, I would try to wake my daughter up to get ready but each time I called out to her, she would say, 5 minutes ma, please! This would go on till the time I left. Most of you can rewind your memory, I'm sure most mothers would agree with me.
The year 2016. The alarm rings at 6:45. I get up and do my morning chores much more leisurely as I have more helping hands now and my school is just 5 minutes walk from my house. But even 30 years later, when I wake up my li'l one for school at 7:30, PAT comes the reply - "5 minutes, naani please, paanch minute aur sojaun naani" and after 5 minutes, another 5 minutes and on and on it goes till I lose my patience.
We all believe that with time, everything changes and it is true to some extent, but this one aspect of children does not seem to ever change. Should I blame it on genes? Three decades down the line, the morning scene in my house has not changed even a bit!

It's not only the c-r level but also the angle that could be critical.

Everyone has to start some where. We did. RQK and I started this blog on a whim, and it has been a little over a year since we have started writing on this blog. I am not trying to sound obnoxious or self-conceded but I truly think that we both have improved in our works on this blog, and our overall look on where we want this to go.
When we first started this blog, it was very unorganised. There is a reason why our blog is called Bookish Randomz. Blogs have to have a main focus, our focus before was bookish updates and random book posts. Since we were this little tiny blog on the Internet, no person would come to our blog for book-movie adaptation news or any bookish news in general because there are plenty of people on the Internet who can provide the news before we can. Another problem was that I did not have any restraint on what I wrote and posted, I would post the most random things that did not make sense, everything in the post would be unorganised and I would post nine times a month at least.
In this post, I am going to about our blog as a whole, my experiences and obviously some helpful (hopefully they are helpful) tips!
Design & Layout:
- Simple is better!
I know the pressure of having to want a very fancy, pretty layout for you blog. This can involve many colours, designs and complicated HTML codes. However, if you are just starting out and this is just going to be one of your hobbies, you should keep in mind that you don't need to have a fancy template. You can make the best out of any template that is available on Blogger. What's important is how you customise it for you. Don't model your layout and design after someone else's, customise it to be as you as possible.
Widgets are a very important factor to your blog. Blogger has a wide variety of widgets that can allow your readers to follow you, see how many page views you have and there is so much more. However, there are some restrictions to the widgets that available. For example, there is no Instagram widget that allows your readers to follow you, there is no twitter feed widget, there is not a slide show that showcases your Instagram photos and there is no Goodreads widgets. When I first started designing this blog, I was very confused on why these weren't available on Blogger. These widgets can be a little tricky to find, however they can either be accessed through the settings of the social media website you are thinking of, there will usually be a HTML code that you can copy and paste into the HTML/Java Script widget. Or you can google different tutorials to find ones to your liking.
Now that you have your template and your widgets, here comes the annoying, time consuming organisation part of designing your blog. Organisation is another HUGE factor in designing and your layout of your blog! There is such a thing as too much on blogs. It is very unappealing to the eye if you have too many widgets on your sidebars. Make sure to ask yourself if this widget is really beneficial to your blog, and will it help people gain interest in your blog. Too much widgets can be very overwhelming for readers! If every single widget on your blog is very important, make sure you space them out where ever you can!
4. COLOURS, AND COLOURS AND COLOURS OH MY!
Black text on a white background is better. It sounds boring but it is the most appealing to the eye and it's the easiest to read. It can look nice but it's very hard to read sometimes. For example, if you had a book, and the pages were neon green and the text was neon yellow, would you be able to read it without being distracted? Also, if you have a very detailed and fancy background GET RID OF IT! It distracts your readers from reading what is supposed to be the main focus of your blog which is the content. Moral of this story is... Less is more. Don't worry, we've all been down the busy colourful path.
Originally I planned on having this post discussing two different topics, design & layout but also, writing and posting! However while I was writing that part it didn't save and I knew I had to schedule something for this day because I knew I wouldn't have time to write anything else. More blogging tips will probably come out if not next month in a few months!
I hope you enjoyed reading this post! Feel free to ask any questions! Also, if this helped you in any way, please comment below and tell me so I know to write the next one!

The Art of Discovery, at Judson
Jean Sylak never dabbled in art—until she got involved in the studio at Judson Park and unlocked a brand-new world of creativity.
The rich artistic programming was not what drew Jean Sylak to Judson Park—but it’s what connects her to the community, inspires creativity with a sense of freedom she never experienced before moving four years ago.
Jean was an elementary school administrator in Shaker Heights Schools, but she never touched art. Curious about Judson’s art therapy programs, she decided to visit the art studio and take some classes.
“When I got here, I had so much freedom to express myself and all the ideas just came out of my head. I don’t even quite know how to explain it.”
Jean’s multi-media collage works will be on display in the George A. Streeter Gallery through January 14, 2025, in a show titled, Wonder: The Art of Discovery.
She adds, “art gives me so much in terms of expression and a way to connect with others.”
The Gift of Art
Sheer delight is a common reaction new friends and neighbors at Judson Park share with Jean—especially with her initiative to deliver handmade cards to every single resident, of course with the help of her dog, Ginger.
“I made the cards colorful and included each person’s name and wrote little messages, something special, like, ‘This is going to be great! Happy Birthday!’” Jean says. “I bet there were about 300 cards throughout the year that I delivered, and it was nice because I stayed and talked with each person,” she says. “That was important to me—I loved doing it.”
Now, Ginger has a little bed in the Judson Park art studio, where Jean spends most of her days getting lost in creativity and trying new media. “I’m enjoying every minute!” she says.
Expanding Creative Horizons
Much of Jean’s work centers on lighthearted motifs—dancing, laughter, love, friendship—and also incorporates playful language. Text collage clippings throughout her works are a characteristic detail Jean discovered by accident.
“The first one just happened,” she relates. “I was tearing through magazines and I found these words: It’s on a journey that will expand your mind.”
Then she happened upon more inspiring words: “We go through what we go through.”
The works that will be presented in her show carry whimsical titles such as, Time to Go!, You Better Watch It!, Dancing all the Colors, and one that gives the gang a chuckle, Adult Fun.
In Let’s Dance!, excerpts from pages of music are clipped and arranged in dynamic layers—tunes like “Chicken on the Fence.”
Time with her art has been rewarding for Jean. “I never thought I would be able to do something like this,” she relates. “But I just like doing it—and I have learned a lot.”

Thousand of tourists from all parts of the world that daily converge in the Cuban capital include among their visits the Revolution Square, where the image of the Heroic Guerrilla stands. This work was produced by the genius of the sculptor Enrique Silva and it was placed on the facade of the Minister of the Interior building on October 8 th, 1993 . The choice of renewing from time to time with different graphics Che’s presence in a place so venerated by Cubans of all generations was left behind. It has been indeed, the center of many important historical facts along the history of the revolutionary process. The relief made out of metal and concrete with its 16 tons of weight is impressive. In the artist’s conception, the beams were associated to something important since he considered Che as a builder of Socialism. The message “Hasta la Victoria siempre” is based on the hero’s original handwriting. “From the artistic point of view, the lines were very simple, so I made them three-dimensional, which was also very economical”, said the author about his work.

The South African Government has noted with concern the manner in which acclaimed international opera singer, Pretty Yende, was treated at the Charles De Gaulle International Airport in Paris, France, on Monday, 21 June 2021.
The South African Embassy in Paris has written to French authorities seeking an explanation and requesting a thorough investigation into the matter. This is after Ms Yende was detained by French Police at the airport for almost three hours based on an allegation that her Italian residence permit was not valid. Her Long-term EU resident status, issued on 16/02/2015 by the Police Headquarters in Milan and with unlimited validity is provided by article 9 of the Consolidated Immigration Act (Legislative Decree 286/98) and regularly issued in accordance with European Directive 2003/109/EC, implemented by Italy and France and containing the common guidelines for the issuance of such residence permits with unlimited validity.
Ms Yende informed the South African Embassy in Paris that she was verbally abused by the police and her rights and dignity were violated during the ordeal.
The unfortunate incident took place during Ms Yende’s return to Paris to perform at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées.
Further to the correspondence by the South African Embassy in Paris, the Department of International Relations and Cooperation will demarche the French Ambassador to South Africa, based in Pretoria to convey its displeasure at the treatment of Ms Yende.

Policies and Appointments
Usual practice routines
Routine consultations are available by appointment which can be made by phone or in person at Urbenville during Surgery Hours.
It helps everybody, when asking for an appointment, to give some information about what might be required.
Referral to Specialists, Fitness to Drive medicals, Centrelink forms, Sickness Certificates, WorkCover issues, Immunisations and PAP tests may take longer than standard consultations and should be mentioned. If the relevant forms are not brought to the consultation and produced with your part filled in, additional delay is introduced and may lead to the result being incomplete and another appointment necessary.
Under some circumstances it is possible to get a home visit if notified and agreed to by the doctor in advance. The hospital emergency department is available for all urgent matters at all times.
Most blood tests can be done locally, in the Urbenville surgery and during morning surgery hours. These are bulk billed.
When booking, tell the receptionist it is for a blood test.
You will be offered a time in the mornings of Mon-Thu, to enable our courier to get the samples to Lismore that day.
If such tests must be taken while fasting it is advised to ask for an appointment earlier in the morning so breakfast is not too delayed.
All prescribing is done during consutations so ensuring at least one face-to-face meeting every six months in guaranteed for people with chronic conditions. No prescriptions will be left for pick-up nor faxed to a pharmacy for patients who are not in hospital or aged care facilities normally attended by our doctors.
It is not legal for us to certify that someone has been ill if our doctors have not seen and treated them. Do not ask for retrospective sick notes as they will be refused.
No test results will be given over the phone, emailed or faxed.
A consultation with the doctor ordering the tests to discuss the meaning of them is necessary. In this way issues arriving from both positive and negative findings can be discussed and no confidentiality problems can arise.
Phone calls to doctors
Ordinarily, our doctors do not take phone calls from patients calling for advice. Think how annoying it is if you are in consultation and somebody else interrupts and takes attention and time away from your concerns.
Our receptionists are instructed not to put patient calls through so it is no use putting pressure on them.

Rep. Greg Pence, R-Ind., brother of former Vice President Mike Pence, introduced he’s not running for re-election to the House of Representatives this yr.
“In 2017, I ran for Congress because I was Ready to Serve Again. As a former Marine Officer, I approached the job with purpose. After three terms, I’ve made the decision to not file for re-election,” Greg Pence mentioned on Tuesday morning.
“For the remainder of my term this year, our team will continue to focus on delivering outstanding constituent services. To the voters in Indiana’s 6th District – it is a privilege and honor to represent you in our Nation’s capital.”
Greg Pence is the newest lawmaker to announce he’s leaving Congress, becoming a member of greater than a dozen House Republicans who’ve mentioned they’re not searching for one other time period on the finish of 2024.
It comes towards the backdrop of a tumultuous 118th Congress, which noticed a number of historic firsts, together with the House toppling its personal speaker for the primary time. With only a razor-thin majority, the House GOP Conference has been fraught with division over each social and monetary points.
The 2024 election cycle is predicted to see lots of those self same tensions flare up, significantly with former President Trump anticipated to win the GOP presidential nomination.
Greg Pence represents Indiana’s sixth Congressional District, which was held by his brother, the previous vp, for roughly a decade till 2013.
The former vp’s relationship with Trump ruptured in the wake of the Jan. 6, 2021 assault on the U.S. Capitol. Trump criticized Mike Pence for not rejecting the 2020 electoral faculty outcomes, prompting the previous president’s supporters to activate him. Rioters who broke into the Capitol on Jan. 6 had been heard calling for Mike Pence to be hanged.
Mike Pence, who challenged Trump for the 2024 nomination however dropped out in late October, has maintained that he did the proper factor in certifying the election outcomes and accused the previous president of endangering his household.

Pagan pyros, scent ‘ho’s, perfume junkies, incense aficionados, candle-waxers and boline babes: come one, come all, to Holy Smoke! This book does it all, o flippers of the flames of Bic: lore, uses of smudges in ritual and prayer, for personal cleansings, meditations and trances, group ceremonies. It follows with explicit instructions and illustrations that show exactly how to do it, prepare it, get it, and burn it.
Esoteric ideas about fire and smoke are discussed in the introduction. Well-organized topics are covered in two-chapter sets. First we learn about smoke baths and smudges, with recipes for seasonal smudges and personalized treats like “Feminine Focus,” “Masculine Manna,” and both lunar and solar-styled smudges. Chapters on smoke prayers and offerings, and smoke-based ceremonies follow. If you don’t know much about working with incense-making materials, the chapters on herbs are short but thorough, and include a very good glossary of herbs and other materials used in incense-making. I say this with extensive experience as an incense-maker myself: there’s not another book that offers such meaty and valuable instructions. The back of the book includes a list of vendors for ordering supplies and a convenient index.
My only remark, not to be construed as a criticism, is that some peeps of the pocket-protector persuasion work with metric measurements, not avoirdupois. Sometimes sellers package materials in metric quantities as well. Conversion tables for metric would have been a happy bonus; however the author does provide equivalents for various dry ingredients. For the botanically-challenged, that means that she shows how an ounce of powdered petals takes up much less space in measuring cup than an ounce of shaved tree bark. You need to know that sort of thing, so it’s yet more necessary but rarely (if ever) included in other books on making loose incenses.
Ye pimples of the pagan world, you are not worthy! The good Moonlady has managed to pack her pyro-lore into a very readable, useful small tome that is nonetheless packed with gold nuggets of wisdom for smoke-and-fire working. Recipes are formatted in easy-to-read, highlighted text boxes. The ingredient quantities are given in avoirdupois measurements (i.e., so many tbsp, cups, drops, etc.) and alternately in proportional parts for smaller or larger batches.
With Yule on the way, this book is an excellent gift for the drude or drudette who holds the flame of your heart and the key to the herbarium, or for that ever-flicking coven mate with those amazing nose muscles. Get a coven copy – there are great projects from start to finish. Have a coven-crafting day and whip up a batch of Manifesting incense or some Spirit Food for your next sabbat. Take it easy on the wild lettuce and wormwood, but by the flaming fingertips of Prometheus, it’s all legal!
So consecrate your cauldron, polish your thurible, clang the censer, spit in the fire pit, light a Lucifer and burn baby burn; what a way to say “hi” to the gods. If I had three thumbs, they’d all be up. Igor! Sew on another one! Scoot to your ether-flute and order copies of this book to keep and to share.

The Railroad Years
Star Lake is a railroad buff’s dream. The railroad began with the logging era- when the mill and logging companies installed miles upon miles of track in order to transport logs and lumber from the area.
The railroad stayed on after the loggers left and thus helped the community evolve to the rustic hunting-fishing resort area that it still is today. The "Fisherman’s Special" delivered hundreds upon hundreds of visitors each season to stay in Star Lake’s exclusive resort, "Hotel Waldheim" and take advantage of fishing on a multitude of pristine lakes. The Hotel Waldheim, now known as Hintz's North Star Lodge, is still in business today.
In 1936, the Milwaukee Road introduced the famous "Northwoods Hiawatha" to Star Lake. As strange as it sounds, Star Lake, with a population of 100 or less people, was the “end of the line” and had the Hiawatha train rolling in and out of its’ depot every day during the summer season. The Hiawatha transported people from the hot and humid weather of Chicago and Milwaukee to Star Lake, for a quick getaway to cool down and spend their time hunting and fishing in true northwoods spirit.
In 1943, the famous "Northwoods Hiawatha" and other passenger trains was pulled out of Star Lake. The depot and tracks were dismantled; the train cars moved on to another area, and Star Lake became a ghost town all over again. The train left remnants too - just as the loggers did. Still to this day you can find artifacts along the shores and backwoods of Star Lake. Likewise, a number of current residents in Star Lake are related to railroad employees from years past. When the train pulled out, several of the railroad employees bought property in the area and built summer homes out of old rail road cars. Some of these homes still stand today and are owned by the railroad employee’s families- several of who proudly display Hiawatha memorabilia and innumerable railroad antiques (such as uniforms, tickets, hats, and large original Hiawatha logos, etc...) throughout their homes. Star Lake truly is a railroad buff’s dream.

The case for Trump.
Why I'm voting for Kamala Harris. pic.twitter.com/WpRVWSGuPd
— Richard Spencer (@RichardBSpencer) November 2, 2024
He inadvertently makes the case for Trump. Trump–love or hate him–as president will make the world safer by acting as a deterrent against war. Biden oversaw three major conflicts, those being Ukraine vs. Russia, Gaza vs. Israel, and Israel vs. Iran, compared to peacetime under Trump. Foreign leaders know that Trump is no-nonsense and do not want to provoke him. But those leaders also correctly perceive Kamala/Biden as pushovers. Had Trump won in 2020, there would be no conflict in Ukraine. From 2017-2021 only saw America solidify its global standing under Trump, such as the post-Covid economic recovery and Operation Warp Speed. If America being a dominant economic force and mediator of geopolitical stability are important, then the case for Trump couldn’t be more clear.
However, there is no going back to how politics was 15-20 years ago. We will look back at that period from the early 90s to around 2013 or so as the closing of a chapter in US politics, and 2015 the start of a new one. In 24 hours, an outcome which amounts to what is effectively an existential crisis for a third of country cannot be good in terms of collective mental health. The consequences will be felt long after the winner is declared. I don’t think there will be widespread instability or unrest, but rather more of the division we’ve grown accustomed to over the past eight years, except even worse. The Constitution requires that the loser hand off power to the winner, but the current situation represents a sort of failure mode in which the legitimacy of the process itself is called into doubt. Nowhere is it stipulated that the process must be fair or that everyone signs off on it; only that it must occur.

Have yet to find a philosophical somewhere I am content to call home. The closest I get to a creed these days is a quote by John Green. "Whether I believe in God isn’t really relevant. I do believe however tenuously in Mercy"
Due to a lot of personal reasons encountered along this journey, I have mostly stepped away from writing for now. Still, sometimes something stirs me and I need space to hash out my thoughts.
So welcome to my little space along the journey.

:: Megadeth ::
:: The Fillmore Auditorium :: Tuesday, February 28 ::
By Brandon Daviet
Anyone reading this who is a fan of Kevin Smith’s movie Clerks will understand what I am talking about when I say the events leading up to Megadeth’s set at this year’s Gigantour was filled with a series of down endings. The most significant of these being the almost unnoticeable sign at the box office saying: “Due to Illness Motörhead will not be performing tonight.” As any Motörhead fan knows the band rarely cancels a show and the word on the good old internet revealed that Lemmy had lost his voice and Denver would be the only show affected. (The small consolation in this is Motörhead is already scheduled to be back in town in July with Slayer, Slipknot, Anthrax and a host of others.) Still the double bill of Motörhead and Megadeth was what a lot of people had come to see and there was a feeling of disappointment passing among the older members of the crowd along with plenty of Mother Nature’s finest.
But, alas, the show must go on, and indeed it did. I missed Lacuna Coil but did catch Volbeat treating the crowds a few verses of Motörhead’s Ace of Spades and a Johnny Cash tune I couldn’t quite decipher given their distortion and the Fillmore’s less than spectacular sound system.
Megadeth didn’t waste any time getting on stage after Volbeat, I was in the bathroom and wasn’t the only one who was caught mid-stream with surprise when the first notes of Dave Mustaine’s voice wafted through the air. I never did figure out what the opening song was but by the time I made it back to my crew Megadeth was hashing out “Foreclosure of a Dream” and the fists of the oldest and youngest metal heads were pumping in the air. The band quickly switched gears into the conspiracy theory musings of “Hanger 18”and the paranoid musings of “Sweating Bullets” before trotting out the first track from their current album Thirteen, “Public Enemy #1.”
Toward the end of the track “Whose Life is it Anyway” Dave Mustaine stopped the show to warn the Fillmore’s Security staff about roughing up his fans. In fact the house lights came on for a minute and the offending guard was removed and replaced.
The band finished their trilogy of new songs with “Guns, Drugs and Money.” Mustaine then addressed the big elephant in the room by taking the band through a rendition of Motörhead’s “No Class” leaving many in the crowd perplexed. It is worth noting that the fact that Megadeth did this is what makes the one of the best in their game. Not only can you count on them to bring top notch musicianship but Mustaine is long removed from the snarling red-headed monster he was when he was bounced from Mettalica and this show of respect to his musical comrade was fitting and a rare treat for the fans of both bands.
The show winded down as the band brought out Lacuna Coil’s Christina Scabbia to help sing on “A Tout Le Monde” and then playing “Ashes in Your Mouth” and “Symphony of Destruction,” making the album Countdown to Extinction the star of the show with at least five songs culled from it. The band’s encore was rocking but not surprising with a double shot of “Peace Sells…But Who’s Buying” and “Holy Wars…The Punishment Due” closing out the evening.
In the end Megadeth proved once again that they are really, in many ways, the true reigning kings of metal. It is no surprise that after thirteen albums they are still packing in fans of all ages. I would like to see them diversify their set lists more from show to show instead of tour to tour but other than that I have never left a Megadeth show —and, I’ve been to more than a few — with a bad taste in my mouth.

The books I have written may explain why I haven’t written an entry here in quite some time. Since I last posted, I’ve written the next Quantum League book, the sequel to Spell Robbers, and did a rewrite on the first installment in an SF/adventure series I’m doing for Harper Collins. I’m really excited about both, and I’m looking forward to talking about them more in the coming months.
The fact that I can write sentences like the ones I just wrote still catches me off-guard at times. I’m so happy and honored that I get to write stories. People often ask which of my books I like the best, and that’s a difficult question to answer. I usually reply that I like the book I’m currently writing the best, which means it’s a book no one else has read. That’s because the story I’m currently writing is the one that’s alive in my head. Those are the characters who’re living their lives and talking to me. When they stop talking, there’s no story, and when I’ve finished a book, it’s no longer a living, moving thing. I don’t know if that answer satisfies the one asking the question, but there it is.
Of course, it’s also true that I love different memories from the writing of each of my books, and it’s hard to pick a favorite memory, isn’t it? Each writing experience brings its own unique pleasures and challenges. Each book means something different to me, personally and artistically. I’m proud of all of them, each for their own idiosyncratic reasons.
In the next week or so, I’ll be writing a nonfiction piece, with an accompanying short story, for a really wonderful anthology called Been There, Done That. The project aims to show students how authors connect our real-life experiences to the stories we tell, and the roster of writers contributing to the anthology is mighty impressive. I’m honored to be a part of it.
After that, I’ll be tackling something very new for me. It’s still quite early to be talking about it, but this next book will likely be shelved in a slightly different part of the store or library than my other novels. I’m a bit nervous about it, but also incredibly excited. I’m still in the research phase (which, let’s face it, I love) but I’ll be starting in on the writing very soon.
On a personal note, it occurs to me I haven’t updated you all on some life changes I’ve gone through in the last year. I have remarried. My wife is an absolutely amazing woman named Jaime, also known as the sophistimom. She blogged a bit about our meeting and marriage, so if you’d like to read about it, you can click here. We are happy, and life is good.

Back in 2010, I was at the annual ALA conference in Washington D.C., and my editor, Lisa, and I had left the conference to do some exploring at the Smithsonian. As we walked along the National Mall, I told her about an idea for a book that featured the Elephant Man and Jack the Ripper, both of whom occupied a relatively small area of London’s East End, at the same time. As I talked, we both got the chills, (even though it was D.C. in the summer, and therefore uncomfortably hot and humid) and she said something like, “You have to write that book one day, when the time is right.”
That time came last year, and this year on September 27th, that book will be released. It’s called A Taste for Monsters, and I’m really excited to share the cover with you here:
Here’s the official summary:
IT’S LONDON 1888, and Jack the Ripper is terrorizing the people of the city. Evelyn, a young woman disfigured by her dangerous work in a matchstick factory, who has nowhere to go, does not know what to make of her new position as a maid to the Elephant Man in the London Hospital. Evelyn wants to be locked away from the world, like he is, shut in from the filth and dangers of the streets. But in Joseph Merrick, the Elephant Man, she finds a gentle kindred who does not recoil from her and who understands her pain. When the murders begin, however, Joseph and Evelyn are haunted nightly by the ghosts of the Ripper’s dead, setting Evelyn on a path to facing her fears and uncovering humanity’s worst nightmares.
A Taste for Monsters is a terrifying and haunting tale of the monstrosity of men and the salvation one may find in the unlikeliest places, from Edgar Award–winning author Matthew J. Kirby.

It was a month between runs for the up-and-comer Amerock but there was still an air of confidence surrounding the four-year-old as he returned to Ballarat on Tuesday – the chestnut up in weight but contesting a similar race to the 2000m BM64 contest he won late last month.
Ideally we had wanted to race the son of Melbourne Cup hero Americain sooner but it was not so easy to get him a run in the right race – but as it turns out, this one was worth waiting for!
“It is a credit to my people at home giving the good feed back in the morning,” Mitch Freedman said, “just so that we know that the fitness levels are still there when they miss a run or two.”
“The horse is going really well,” he continued – “and I thought he was even more genuine today than last start, he took a gap and really flattened out well.”
Jockey Jarrod Fry agreed – “the other day he got a bit lost and waited for the others but today he really raced away to the line, he is racing with good confidence.”
“He travelled smoothly throughout the whole race and conserved energy. I just had to wait for the gap to come and when it did he showed a good turn of foot.”
It was win number four for Amerock, one that saw his prize money tally increase to beyond $116,000 – a good result for his many happy owners including his breeders, the Bamford family.
Bred to appreciate the 2000m and beyond, Amerock is out of the Zabeel mare Miss Shamrock whose dam is the Gr.1 Australasian Oaks winner Irish Darling, also dam of the Listed winning stallion Fighting Sun.

Online slots offer players a variety of gaming options and can be played from the comfort of your own home or on the go. Whether you enjoy the simplicity of classic three-reel machines or are ready to try something more modern and riskier, there is an online slot for you. In addition to a wide variety of themes, online slots often feature multiple paylines and bonus rounds. These features can help increase your chances of winning a sizable payout.
Before you start playing, be sure to check out the game’s Return to Player (RTP) and variance. These factors determine how much and how often a slot pays out. RTP is a measure of how much money you can expect to lose over time, while variance measures how often you win and how big those wins are. A lower RTP means a greater chance of losing, while a higher RTP means you’ll win more frequently, but with smaller amounts.
The first step in playing Slot Online is to determine how many paylines you want to activate. This can be done by looking at the paytable on the game’s website. Some slots have as few as three reels, while others have dozens of them. Depending on your preferences, you may want to select the maximum number of paylines in order to maximize your chances of winning.
Another tip to remember when choosing a slot is to look for one that offers scatter symbols. These are special symbols that can appear anywhere on the reels and will usually trigger some kind of bonus round. These bonuses can vary in size and scope, but most of them involve extra spins or multipliers.

The simulated case of the plastic wrapper in ice was the longest of our four cases, lasting for 5 and half months. Because the sea was covered by ice, the item could not travel as far as it could have in open sea conditions, but it still managed to cover 400 km. As ice cover gave way to open sea towards the end of the simulation period, especially in May, the distance covered by the wrapper increased. The final location of the wrapper was less than 200 km from the starting point, which is much shorter distance when compared to the journeys traveled by the items in the other cases. However, as most of this journey was done under the ice, and the wrapper still covered over 400 km, so this can be regarded as a significant achievement. If plastic litter finds its way into the sea during winter, it can surface far away from the starting as ice melts away.
But what happens to plastics in cold, icy conditions? The cold water can slow down the degrading process, so the wrapper might not release as many small bits of plastics into the sea under the ice as it would in warmer sea temperatures and in open sea conditions. And as the ice melts, it might reveal a lot of litter that has traveled long distances under the ice. As the temperatures are rising, the the plastics can start to disintegrate again. The item that might have disappeared from our "radar" in the process, can show up in our neighbours's doorstep. Out of sight, out of mind, someone might think, but since we share the same waterbody, we should take care of it together. Bin it, don't sink it matters.

A bed and breakfast inn is a definitely a good option if you are looking for a place to stay at during a romantic weekend, honeymoon getaway or when you just want to feel cared for and spoilt. These inns are in most cases very nice in that they often have a personal touch in more ways than the standard motels and hotels. The inns are well known to have one on one services and great breakfast. Having been hosted at various B&B inns throughout the country, I am yet to be disappointed as I have always enjoyed the brief stays at the inns. Some of these were very small and had only one or two rooms, while others were bigger. One thing that I can say for sure is that they all had one thing in common and that is there was a friendly and warm service from polite staff Who did everything possible to make my stay a great experience.
What to Expect
It is advisable to always ask questions related to room specifics such as the number of beds and room size when you are making reservations. At times, a “single” could refer to a twin bed single, or a room with one double bed. A “double” may refer to one double bed, or two twin beds.
The bathrooms may be anything from a small room with just a shower, toilet and sink to two separate rooms with a separate shower and toilet. In many cases, the reason for these often odd configurations is the fact that some inns are old homes turned inns and some did not have indoor plumbing and so these were just added as space was created. In some cases, you will find an inn with a shared bathroom facility and for those who do not like sharing; it could be worth the extra fee to have a room that has its own built in bathroom.
In most cases, you will not find telephone or television facilities in traditional bed and breakfast inns. Some usually have these facilities in a central area where they are accessible to all guests. In today’s technology driven world, this may not be much of an inconvenience as many people own smart phones and travel with their laptops.
One of the advantages of staying at a bed and breakfast inn is the food. This is mainly because they will in most cases have very fresh food, from muffins, eggs and even fruits. The inns pride themselves in the fact that they are able to offer the freshest meals that are homemade in style. It is nevertheless important to ensure that the inn you are booking into offers your kind of preferred food, be it a full breakfast which may include bacon, eggs, pancakes or French toast or even a continental breakfast (cereal, coffee, pastries).
You may need to ask questions about payment when booking, but most bed and breakfast inns will accept cash and any major credit card. There is always a chance that they may not accept checks or all credit cards, so it is always good to ask in advance.
Regarding cancellations and deposits, you will find that some inns do require at least a one night’s deposit. In some cases you could lose your deposit should you make a cancellation prior to your stay. Ensure that you are well advised on policies relating to this issue when making reservations. There is also a policy in some inns that may require you to make a booking of more than one night during the weekends.
It is always good to also ask about any age restrictions that may be in effect in case you are traveling with children. Some inns prefer having older children as guests as opposed to younger children who may be very noisy.
Pets: Most B&B’s will not tolerate pets, but a select few may be okay with some small and well behaved pets.
Smoking: Most bed and breakfast inns have policies against smoking while in their premises and will in some cases even charge guest credit cards an extra fee for cleaning incase in case they discover smoke in your room.
A B&B can make your travel experience truly relaxing and uniq

“There is more to our world than meets the eye—darker things, crueler things. Exorcist John Fogg and his wife, psychic medium Theodora Knight, know what lurks in the shadows. But even they’re not prepared for the worst Hell has to offer…
It was supposed to be a simple exorcism, a publicity stunt to firmly establish John and Theodora’s thriving paranormal investigation empire in the public eye. But something went wrong, leading to an on-air massacre that unleashed a malicious host of demons and left Theodora catatonic, possessed by countless spirits.
John sets out on a desperate quest to find a cure for his wife, but his obsession brings him face-to-face with an even more terrifying problem: Theodora’s possession is only one piece of a deadly plot that is threatening the entire world. Because an ancient evil is about to make Earth its battlefield—and without John and Theodora’s intervention, there is no chance for salvation…”
I’m not usually one to read horror novels, but this one sounded as much urban fantasy as creepy stuff, so I gave it a try. Having seen a few ghost hunting shows in the past (although I wasn’t a regular viewer, as I get weirded out way too quickly), I could easily picture the initial premise. The image of an exorcism going horribly wrong on camera is one of those things that is always teased on the TV shows but never actually happens.
As a result, this felt to me like the story of the aftermath of a horror movie. You know that the characters who lived have to deal with what happened, but how often do you see that? In this case, John sets out on a quest to undo the harm done during the exorcism, and we as readers also get to see the damage done to Theodora due to the demons infesting her.
There is some really strong imagery in this book, and for me, that’s what did the heavy lifting of keeping the story moving along. Otherwise, I liked the characters but didn’t feel like I got much of a chance to get to know them. The focus was most definitely on the atmosphere and the setting, and not as much on the people. In addition, some choppy point of view changes had me going back over sections that I’d already read to make sure I knew who I was following.
For me, this book was average: good visuals, okay characters, occasionally sloppy writing, decent story. I don’t know if I’ll pick up the next one or not–I think I’ll have to see if the premise grabs me before making that decision. I’d recommend this book to horror fans wanting to check out the urban fantasy genre, because this could be a good bridge between the two.
This book was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Will you watch the game?
Not me but Huzz and his brother, who's here visiting, will watch it. Me, I plan to work on a craft project ('till I give up on it again, lol) or maybe some mending.
As the saying goes...I had no dog in the hunt, so just checked on progress periodically. Being from OH, back in the day, I slightly favored the Bengals. I kicked the Rams to the curb when they abandoned LA and went to St Louis and never renewd my interest. If I was a fan of any team, it would be the Browns.

So I was on facebook when a beekeeper I know posted this wonderful picture that just goes to show the idiocy that exists for those who want to be close minded losers.
I posted a response similar to this.
As someone who took sign language in college I find your picture insulting. It goes to show an utter lack of intelligence. The line we drink beer is also crap because what most Americans consume as beer is piss and they would not know good beer if they tasted it.
The line we eat meat does not apply because there are plenty of Americans who do not eat meat. The nice thing about living in America is that we don’t all have to do the same things or like the same things. Finding that this poster comes from Freedom from Tyranny facebook group/page is funny because the line we love freedom is crap, we love freedom until there is a 9/11 or ebola scare, anything to make us sacrifice our freddoms for a false sense of security. The NSA now listens to our phone calls, follows your bank transactions and reads your internet traffic. Why? because you let it when you got a little scared.
To go with the wonderful point that I was making with the above statement what did Bruce do. He pulled the comment and effectively censored me and eliminated any idea of free speech because like most right wingers they only want their ideas heard and not any opposing ideas. I took a screenshot after I discovered he removed the post. It is amazing how many people like him exists. Where freedom only applies to him and not to anyone else.
A sad statement about how the right wing continues to be filled with losers.

Today is the founding day of the 99th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. The commendation meeting was chosen to be held on this day to celebrate with the party, which is both special and grand.
At the meeting, Liu Xu, vice president of the group, on behalf of the chairman and the company, expressed his high respect and cordial condolences to all the commended members, front-line managers, and construction workers. He said that the recent rainy season coincides with the rainy season, which has added a lot of difficulty to the overall construction progress of the project, but our construction teams and all construction personnel are still facing difficulties under the scientific management and strict organization of the project department. Changes are taking place with each passing day. The results achieved by everyone's hard work are obvious to all. Facts have repeatedly proved: Hongsheng workers have strength and Hongsheng teams can fight!
With the tighter schedule and heavier tasks, I hope that everyone will work hard to keep up with the party, practice the original aspiration, make persistent efforts, keep in mind the instructions and trust of the chairman, and continue to promote "particularly able to endure hardships, especially able to fight, and especially capable The spirit of dedication, with the Luban Award as the standard, and the goal of building the country's first digital-intelligence demonstration park for the construction industry, always puts safe construction in the first place, unites and overcomes any difficulties, and works hand in hand to achieve greater victory.

The Melplash Agricultural Society’s Dairy Stock Judging competition took place on Wednesday 18 July at Wooth Farm, near Bridport, by kind permission of Frank and Nicky Greenway.
The judge this year was Mr Terry Cox of Shaftesbury and the competition was open to Young Farmers’ Clubs with classes for all ages.
This year, 16 teams took part with prizegiving taking place in the dark at 10pm.
Dairy Stock Judging is an important event and skill for Young Farmers. Its purpose is to train them to look for and assess the type of traits that are beneficial for long-lasting, healthy cows that will also produce plenty of milk.
For every breed of cow, there is a “True Type Model” which is the ideal cow. The competitor must keep this in mind as they assess each animal. They will be looking for functional traits such as good legs and feet leading to good locomotion, a well-attached udder with enough width and height to hold the high milk yields expected from a modern cow, with body capacity sufficient to support the milk and a growing calf.
Working in teams of two, the Young Farmers are tasked to assess the dairy cows and place them in order [best to poorest] giving the reasons for their decision. They then present their findings to the judge who marks them using a complex marking system based on accuracy of observation and comparisons.
The prizes were presented by Society President Richard King.

As reported by the opposition – such a good report we unashamedly have repeated it here;
Lindfield CC 2nd XI v Burgess Hill CC 2nd XI: A sun drenched Lindfield Common was the venue for the long-awaited return of local rivals Burgess Hill, in a much anticipated Mid-Sussex derby. However, the idyllic vista turned into a nightmare for the hosts as the visiting captain Matt Charmer turned the tide on the Swans with a fine all-round display. Batting first, Lindfield progressed to 80 for 1 with Scott Clark (33) and Nick Hopkins (37) setting up the innings in fine style. However, the introduction of Charman into the attack rocked the Lindfield ship and when Hopkins walked past one to get stumped, panic set into the crew.
With the off-spinner bowling a tight line, the home batsmen struggled to get him away, and some rash shots saw them fleeing back to the pavilion like an emergency lifeboat drill. Charman’s devastating spell of 6 for 14 effectively flooded the engine room and left Lindfield aimlessly bobbing around, akin to a rudderless cruise liner fighting against the tide. A few lusty blows from Redwan Choudhury at the end of the innings, saw the hosts set a total of 144, but in truth it always looked at least 30 runs short.
In reply, Lindfield started their voyage well, with Choudhury getting a wicket with his first ball, but the celebrations wouldn’t last. Hillian overseas player Akeem Ifill stroked the ball to all parts, as he went after the home side’s attack, being particularly ruthless through extra cover. His 79 proved the difference, shining like a lighthouse in a gloomy Atlantic seascape, as no other batsmen reached his standards. Wickets at the other end saw Charman return to the fold and smooth any choppy waters, when Ifill was finally caught on the boundary. After such an influence on the game, it was inevitable the Burgess Hill captain would score the winning runs, which he duly did, as they cruised to the target with a dozen overs to spare. Commenting after the game Charman noted, “It’s great to be back at Lindfield after a few years away. I’d forgotten how picturesque it is to play here. To be at the helm of this ship when we won was a thrill. In fact, it’s up there with one of the great days in my life……and I’ve had children.”

Factors to Consider When Choosing Custom Printed Whiteboards
Printed whiteboards are used to achieve many things. They can be used in hotels hospitals or businesses to share details. People expect to find helpful information from the whiteboards. Whiteboards can be customized to be used from one room to the next. This means that you will not be required to equip all the rooms with a whiteboard. When it comes to the whiteboard, you will not have to worry about the size since they come in different sizes. Here are some important factors to Consider When Choosing Custom Whiteboards.
One important thing to look at when choosing custom printed whiteboards is the ability to erase well. Some whiteboards do not erase well and they leave stains making writing messy. To avoid pressing issues, ensure that you choose non-ghosting whiteboards. These do not stain. You need to understand that there are different non-ghosting boards in the market. Consider how frequently you will be using the boards. If you will be using them more often, go for boards with surfaces that are easy to wipe because they will help save your time.
Ease of maintenance is also an important aspect to look into when choosing printed whiteboards. It’s advisable to look for whiteboards that are easy to clean and maintain. Some boards are made of surfaces that absorb ink. If you do not want to deal with such hassle, opt for glass marker board surfaces since you can wipe them with the tip of your finger. Whiteboards surfaces made of glass do not require harsh cleaners. This is very important for the environment.
Another thing to consider when choosing custom printed whiteboards is mobility. Mobile boards can help you cut costs. You will not need to buy separate writing surfaces for all the rooms. The best whiteboard services should be able to provide a wide range of portable whiteboards that are durable and easy to maintain. You should visit different whiteboard designers to choose whiteboards that will meet your needs. Ensure that you choose whiteboards according to your office needs.
You should also look at additional consideration. Magnetic whiteboards are easy to wipe and can present different pics and graphs. If you require a high-precision product, these are the kind of boards you should opt for. There are different high-end boards with easy-to-write grind patterns. They are the best for presentation since they do not cause a distraction to your audience. Such boards can help you draw graphs charts and diagraphs easily, and also communicate ideas.
If you want to share important information with your audience or staff, you should ensure that you use the right whiteboards. There are different types of boards in the market. You need to ensure that invest in a whiteboard that will last for some years. You are advised to research to find quality printing board services that can supply printed whiteboards at a fair price. If you think of buying a whiteboard, consider all the above-discussed factors.

Land Acknowledgment from MSU Denver
As an organization within MSU Denver and the Department of Art, CVA acknowledges the indigenous people and land of Auraria and the broader Denver area.
We honor and acknowledge that we are on the traditional territories and ancestral homelands of the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Nations. We acknowledge the land and history of this space we are fortunate to gather in today. This area was also the site of trade, hunting, gathering, and healing for many other Native Nations: The Lakota, Ute, Kiowa, Comanche, Apache, Shoshone, and others. 48 Tribes have called this land home. We recognize the Indigenous peoples as the original stewards of the land, water, plants, and animals who called this place home.
Let us also acknowledge the painful history of genocide and forced removal from this territory. We recognize that U.S. public policy has been used to displace Indigenous communities, erode Tribal Nation sovereignty, and forcibly assimilate Native individuals into U.S. society. We respect the many diverse Indigenous peoples still connected to this land on which we gather. We pay our respect to them and give thanks to all Tribal Nations and the ancestors of this place.
We also acknowledge the labor of enslaved Africans and their descendants who worked this stolen land for the colonists and who continue to disproportionately face economic oppression, racism, violence, and exploitation.
Lastly, we want to recognize the communities and families of Auraria displaced by the creation of this campus for MSU Denver to have a place that we now call home. We share this acknowledgment to encourage all of us here on the Auraria campus to consider how our work in this space and in our daily lives can address these historic and contemporary atrocities perpetuated against Native people and other marginalized communities.

Method of Operation
Size reduction from a standard size bale to a particle size smaller than 10mm, can often be accomplished in single step with materials like, NBR, SBR and EPDM. The Rubber Bales are fed either by hand or through conveyor belt into the cutting chamber and directly granulated to desired size. Particle size is determined by the screen size, which is usually has 10mm holes. The ground material is thereafter pneumatically conveyed to the bagging station.
The special infeed chute is equipped with 'bale cutting attachment' and patented shuttle flaps to guide the optimum and dosed material intake.
For the size reduction of rubber bales whether natural or synthetic, special guillotine rotor is designed, without a traversing shaft and high - momentum flywheel. In addition to it, a specially designed infeed chute, equipped with a bale cutter, is also critical to guide the material towards the cutting chamber ensuring optimum feeding.

There is nothing better for young artists than drawing aliens. Because no one has ever seen an alien (except me), there is never a bad drawing of an alien. Kids in my class love these quick and easy how to draw an alien tutorials. They love the creativity of drawing creatures that have never been seen. These are a great way for the classroom teacher to use art to get students writing. There are a lot of great drawing ideas in this tutorial.
Drawing Ideas for Kids gives kids little drawing tips and ideas to unlock their creativity. These drawing ideas for kids have been tested in the classroom over a 14 year period.
These drawing ideas for kids work to help kids learn to read and write. Although, I teach in the regular classroom. I am really seeing the value of using art to get kids motivated to read and write at an early age. I have a kindergartner, a 3 year old and a 2 year old. I don't push drawing on them, but I draw with them and here are some of the results. These are some of my oldest son's drawing ideas.
Read to your kids every day, but also try to draw with them. Don't worry about your skill level. Just draw for fun. Your kids will love it!

I pretty much never get a Starbucks for my morning coffee, but last night, we stopped at Starbucks and used a birthday gift card to get some drinks. The barista asked us if we wanted a free Venti Mocha because they had made it wrong for another customer.
Cardinal rule in our household: we never turn down free Starbucks. But, since it was caffeinated, I refrigerated it for the morning. When I opened the fridge, I had nearly forgotten about the coffee! Oh, what a happy Friday! :)

I have no idea what happened to these albums but it’s a shame that I don’t have them any longer. True Story, I’m a big fan of Tom Jones, Herb Alpert, and virtually all of the sort of lounge-y music from that period in time. I actually paid to see Tom Jones in concert in the 90s! I don’t know what was more surreal: his cover of Nine Inch Nails or elderly women throwing their panties at him.
All of that aside, here’s Kesley naked with albums! 🙂

September 12 was a day full of excitement and emotion as it marked the last #DifferenceMakers picnic of Troy Campbell’s chairmanship. Graciously hosted by Bill Marsh, Pres./CEO of Farmers National Bank of Emlenton, the evening proved to be the perfect culmination of a year-long adventure of meeting and engaging community bankers from across the state.
Community bankers from Clarion County Community Bank, Greenville Savings Bank, Mercer County State Bank, First United National Bank, FHLBank of Pittsburgh, Farmers National Bank of Emlenton arrived excited to network with their banking counter-parts, connect with co-workers from neighboring branches and, of course, enjoy Altoona’s famous “Curve burgers.”
PA State Senator Scott E. Hutchinson made the trek to Clarion to join the bankers for the evening’s festivities. As the Chair of the Finance committee, the Senator’s presence provided a unique opportunity to start a dialogue regarding issues directly affecting community banks. All attendees were grateful for the Senator’s time and truly appreciated the genuine interest he expressed in his interactions.
Fortunately, the last #DifferenceMakers cornhole tournament did not disappoint as contestants battled it out in a fierce, but friendly, competition for office bragging rights. Ultimately, the undefeated team of Ryan Radaker and Tiffany Morris, both from Clarion County Community Bank, conquered PACB Chairman Troy Campbell and Brenda Wenner, also from Clarion County Community Bank, to take home the championship title. Congratulations Ryan and Tiffany!
In this day and age when life has us running frantically from one commitment to another, PACB would like to thank everyone who took time out of their busy schedule to join us, even if only for 15 minutes, to help mold the #DifferenceMaker culture and spread the message that community bankers help people achieve dreams.
Please don’t despair, we are just as upset that we have hosted our last #DifferenceMaker picnic, but rest assured incoming PACB Chairman Jon Conklin of Woodlands Bank has a plan to meet PA’s community bankers as well. If you like Cracker Jack and 7th inning stretches, you’re going to have a ball at PACB’s events in 2019-2020!
We would like to thank Troy Campbell for his year as PACB Chairman. His #DifferenceMakers Picnics were a great success and allowed him to meet countless community bankers across the Commonwealth.
Jon Conklin has hit the ground running coming into his year as PACB Chairman. He, too, would love to meet all 14,000 community bank employees in Pennsylvania, and he has some exciting networking events planned. If you are interested in hosting an event or would like more information on attending one of the events, please reach out to Jena Wolgemuth at firstname.lastname@example.org.

A flight from Athens to Tel Aviv has been delayed for almost two hours after a group of Israeli Jewish passengers refused to fly with Palestinians on board, reportedly accusing them of being “terrorists”.
Aegean Airlines flight 928 was stuck on the tarmac on Sunday night as the altercation continued, with the Jewish passengers preventing the plane taking off by standing up until the two passengers they complained about were removed.
The Greek crew did not initially understand the cause of the dispute, Maariv newspaper reported, and continued with preparations as the two passengers from East Jerusalem were bombarded with accusations.
The complainants claimed the Israeli Arab citizens could be “terrorists”, according to Israel Radio, and demanded to search their luggage even after they had left the aircraft, but were refused by stewards.
Tracking website Flight Aware shows the plane was due to take off at 10.30pm local time but did not leave for Tel Aviv until 00.24am.
A spokesperson for Aegean Airlines confirmed the incident, telling The Independent a small group of passengers had “very vocally and persistently asked for two other Israeli passengers to be checked for security issues”.
“While it is indeed unfortunate that they were possibly racially profiling the customers, indeed their fellow Israelis, because safety must be first, the pilot did feel compelled to delay the flight call the police so to check again the two Israeli passengers documents and identities,” she added.
The documents were found to be in order but the spokeperson said the delay had caused further unrest as a larger group of passengers reacted, despite assurances given by the crew.
The Palestinian passengers were offered a free hotel and flight the following day, which they accepted, and their luggage was taken out of the hold.
“We also offered any other passenger of course the possibility to disembark in case they did not feel secure,” the Aegean representative said, although those choosing to do so would not have been compensated.
“The whole episode, which did indeed delay the flight for more than 1 hour and 30 minutes, is very unfortunate and we are grateful that the two Israeli passengers affected did agree to fly the next day.
“We thank again the two passengers that agreed to disembark for their understanding and collaboration and we apologise for the whole episode.”
The incident came as a wave of violence continues in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian territories, where 23 Israelis have been killed and 132 Palestinians, mostly said to be attackers, shot dead by security forces since the start of October.

I’ve long been awed by the song, “Feeling Good,” as sung by Nina Simone. It slays me every time I hear it. The lyrics by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse (I don’t know who to credit, exactly) are so simple, yet convey such depth of feeling.
Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Breeze driftin’ on by you know how I feelIt’s a new dawn
It’s a new day
It’s a new life
And I’m feeling goodFish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree you know how I feel(refrain)
Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don’t you know
Butterflies all havin’ fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
That’s what I meanAnd this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For meStars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
And when the horns kick in, oh my.
Anyway, I’ve been writing and re-writing a scene in a new book. So far, it feels like every decision I make is the wrong one. Every path, the wrong one. I try to squeeze some background information into dialogue, it sounds false. I try it with straight exposition, it drags. I’m wrestling with the problem of “set-up,” an issue I’ve faced dozens of times with Jigsaw Jones, and I’m still searching, slashing, deleting, surrendering.
But I did wake up this morning with that song in my head, and I thought about my main character, Samantha, looking up at the clouds — something I wanted her to do, an aspect of her character — and that’s the feeling in her heart. She sees a bird soaring high and she knows how it feels.
Over coffee, I scribbled on a sheet of paper:
Sam was a cloud watcher and a sky dreamer. She looked up to admire a red-tailed hawk soaring through the clouds, and sent a silent message to that bird: You know how I feel.
Will this solve my problem? No, it won’t. Will it make it through the revision and editing process? No idea. But I’m going back in again, this song in my heart, and I’m going to bring that moment with me.
FUN FACT: Newley and Bricusse also composed the original score and songs for “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.” Which, weirdly enough, inspired aspects of the story I’m currently writing. There’s a Wonka-esque character in it. When coincidence comes together, I often think, “Somebody’s trying to tell me something.” I figure I’m on the right track. Time to grab a shovel and dig in.

Hawes Spooktacular Recap
Forsberg Cast Spell in Marysville
(For Immediate Release)
(Marysville, CA 10/26/2024) Driving his pumpkin orange sprint car Andy Forsberg cast a spell on past Spooktacular winner Sean Becker and raced to a decisive victory in the Paul Hawes Memorial Spooktacular 25 lap sprint car main event Saturday night in Marysville. Forsberg not only raced well but generously gave gifts to the hundreds of kids who joined in for the annual Halloween celebration at the speedway. He also was among the dozens of drivers who lined up at intermission to hand out candy for “Track or Treat”.
Jake Morgan outran Shane Hopkins in a strong Wingless spec. sprint 20 lap feature event. 2024 Crate sprint car champion Koe Crane outran a big field in 20 laps to pick up the win. The Lightning sprints were led by Scott Kinney in the final 20 lapper of the all-sprint night.
Cody Gray got the drop on Forsberg at the start of the feature, but the veteran quickly wheeled around the youngster. Becker advanced from 7th starting position to second midway in the event and had the speed to track Forsberg but fell short when the Mike Shirley checkered waved. Gray held onto 3rd in the fast-paced event while Seth Standley took fourth and Shane Hopkins fifth. Gray, Forsberg, Steven Ingraham, and Dawson Hammes all won heat races.
Morgan controlled the trouble plagued wingless event where 6 of the original 19 starters finished. Hopkins, who drove in two divisions, dogged him in second. Trey Walters, Cody Meyer, and Daniel Dekeyser rounded out the top five. Heat winners were Morgan, Hopkins, and Mark Hanson.
Jeremy Hawes, making a rare appearance in the race that honors his father, led the early going In the Crate sprint feature until the motor gave up in the Sims 101.

Obairs Environment Department has been heavily involved with the elderly population of the village through projects such as support for Senior Alert alarms. Furthermore we provided weekly transport to ensure that members of the older community were able to avail of social meetings and clubs such as The Going Strong active retirement group.
In a smaller way the Environment Section also looks after areas of landscaping and light maintenance services which we continue to offer these services at low competitive rates, providing a trust worthy service to the community. a few years ago the Environment section assisted in work that was carried out on the Mill Race stream which runs through the O’ Regan Park. Deflectors were placed in the river under the supervision of the Inland Fisheries Ireland. This type of conservation work is very valuable in sustaining our beautiful amenities in the village.
We recognise that members of our community have different needs and strengths. Down through the years Obair Environment provided a range of opportunities to local people who face challenges, such as coming from disadvantaged backgrounds as well as those experiencing social isolation, such as the elderly.
They also worked in conjunction with the Tús initiative, a community work placement scheme that provides opportunities for unemployed people. This, in turn, benefits community and voluntary organisations in both urban and rural areas.
Obair Environment supports the local community groups by keeping public areas clean and litter free, as well as helping to identify the key environmental issues of our village.
We also carry out daily maintenance and upkeep at O’Regan Park Playground and Recreation Area.
Although Obair Environment revolves around environmental issues, we are flexible in our approach to the work we do, and collaborate closely with community members to identify and fulfil their needs.

A PC-Cluster based Multi-Camera System for Real-Time Multiple Objects Tracking
This paper presents a PC-cluster based multi-camera system for real-time multiple objects tracking. The PC-cluster, a group of linked computers, is developed by using PCI-to-PCI data mover card to improve real-time processing performance and provide system scalability. Five processing modules have been designed and implemented to control system operations. Target objects are in spherical shape. Four IEEE-1394a cameras with hardwired synchronization are used for system testing. After identifying correspondence objects in different views, 3-D coordinates of each target have been reconstructed. Experimental results show that the system can identify and track multiple objects moving in 3-D space correctly. The maximum frame rate for tracking is 12 frames per second. In the near future, the system can be applied for specific application when additional processing modules are added to the system
- There are currently no refbacks.

Since my latest post, Arsenal have played really well. They had a five game win streak snapped with last week's draw with Fulham. The reason for their success? Everybody in the media will tell you it is Robin Van Persie. The accusation that Arsenal are a one-man team has been reinforced by the spectacular failure of their other strikers to actually score, which is the most important part of any striker. However, I'd like to point out some significant holes in this idea.
First of all, I think people are forgetting that this is not the first year Robin Van Persie was good. He averaged a goal a game last year, albeit in less than half a season. His strike rate was better than anyone in the league on a per-game basis, proving that he is a world-class talent, if a little injury prone. I think he is one of the best players in the league and I'm not belittling his contribution.
Still, he is not the only person responsible for Arsenal's recent success. Let's look at some numbers shall we? Here is the efficiency table for Arsenal, the top numbers being over their last six games and the bottom for the entire season:
Off Eff | Def Eff | FR | Opp FR | Possession | ||
Last Six Weeks | 130.35 | 73.46 | 38.10% | 37.50% | 59.67 | |
Total | 121.85 | 106.12 | 31.33% | 36.00% | 58.92 |
As you can see, Arsenal's Finish Rate has indeed gone up, meaning that more of their chances are being taken. That is probably attributable to Van Persie, true. But what jumps out at me is the Defensive Efficiency number of 73.46, meaning that Arsenal's opponents are having a lot of trouble creating chances even after normalizing possession. This defensive efficiency increase has led to Arsenal conceding .6 fewer goals per game over this stretch. Van Persie's finishing exploits over this period have garnered an increase in the Goals For column of the same amount and everyone is talking about it, but the defensive improvements have not merited comment.
Of course, the real story behind Arsenal's success (stop me if you've heard this before) is that they've played an easy schedule. Four home games and only one team in the top half of the table. Most people have been saying they would have been toast without Van Persie in these past few weeks; I counter those were the weeks they actually would have survived his absence.
-Gambling Picks: I like West Brom over QPR at 2/1. They've both had a tough schedule over the past few weeks, but I think West Brom is a better team. The longshot? Villa over Man U at 4/1.
-What to Watch: I guess Sam Allardyce has been gone for a while, but it still sounds weird to recommend watching Bolton. Nevertheless, Bolton and Spurs are both among the most entertaining teams in the league, so watch their clash.
-Outlier of the year: Fulham vs. Tottenham. Fulham had 13 shots on goal to Tottenham's 5, 31 shots to 9, and 54% of possession...and lost. And not just lost, but lost 3-1! At home! And their one goal wasn't even a shot on goal, it was a Tottenham own goal! 13 shots on goal and NONE went in the net, that is futility my friends! I need to stop using exclamation points!

What in the Name of Rumplestiltskin’s Leather Pants is a Wraith? by Teresa Martin--@Teresa__Martin That was the question on many a fan’s lips after a creature blasted through the floor of Aurora’s elaborate sleeping chamber in “Broken,” the Season Two premiere of Once Upon a Time. This creature was not given a name until Mulan described it as a Qui Shen, and translated it as “wraith.” She then clarified that this was a “soul-sucker.” The only further information that could be gleaned from the episode was that this creature marked a person and would be driven away by light. Subsequent personal research unearthed results that were unexpected. The trail led almost immediately to Scotland. However, the original wraith was different from what one may have read in The Lord of the Rings and other fantasy literature. For a wraith is not a black clothed soul-sucking creature, but rather the duplicate of one’s own soul. The word “wraith” first appeared approximately in the 16th century, meaning “spirit.” A wraith is defined as “a ghost of a person on the verge of death . . . an exact likeness of its human counterpart, showing itself to relatives of that person as he is about to die …. [This] appears to have developed from a very old belief that a person’s soul is an exact duplicate of his or her living body (Haining 215).” A person will be suddenly confronted face to face with his double and that will be a sign that his death is near, but most commonly it is seen by others (Briggs 309-310). For the latter, it would occur “if someone were to catch a glimpse of a person whom they knew passing the door or window, and on looking outside were to find no such person there …. This was considered a remarkably clear instance of a person’s wraith, or spirit being seen at the time of death (Napier 70).” The traditions of the traditional Qui-Shen are also incorporated into the plot. In the attack on Prince Phillip, daylight scares the wraith away. Later, Snow and Charming use fire to repel the creature as well as lead it into the magical hat. Moreover, when Rumpelstiltskin presses the medallion into Regina’s hand, she has the appearance of one who has been weakened, as though perhaps some of her energy was taken from her soul. The show has therefore utilized ancient Chinese Traditions with modern lore resulting in the enrichment of the show’s canon.
One of the most fascinating aspects of Once Upon a Time is how the writers use stories and legends from the world over. “Broken” informed fans that the show would be exploring deeper realms of literature and myth. Delving into the concept of the soul being taken by a Qui Shen introduced Chinese myth as a significant part of the story which affected residents of both the Enchanted Forest and Storybrooke. Furthermore, the door is open for the appearance of these frightening portents as told in ancient lore. Perhaps in the next Storybrooke deaths, the characters will possibly see their wraiths thereby sending the same chills to the audience that the Celtic people of long ago felt when telling these tales on cold winter nights. |
OriginsExplore the Arthurian legend surrounding Lancelot, take a trip into the woods to discover the mythology behind Red Riding Hood or learn more about a modern day hero called Snow White. Origins provides unique insights and perspectives from talented writers into the characters we know and love, going far beyond the boundaries of Storybrooke. Archives

Using only high-quality, premium brands such as MAC, Chanel, Dior, Laura Mercier, NARS, Anastasia Beverley Hills, Bobbi Brown and Urban Decay, Kathryn will create a beautiful, timeless look for you. The quality of the cosmetics and the professional application techniques that she uses ensures that your makeup will last all day and into the night.
Also offered alongside ‘traditional’ foundation, is Airbrush foundation – the professional, silicone-based spray makeup designed for a lightweight, flawless finish that lasts. Airbrush makeup is perfect for bridal looks as the skin is still able to breathe, but it can be applied to a coverage that is suited to you. Airbrush makeup has amazing durability. It is heat-proof, sweat-proof, 24-hour wear, so no need for touch ups! It’s also perfect for the correction of skin blemishes, discolorations and tattoos, giving an even and flawless complexion.
A consultation and makeup trial before the wedding is advised, and will take place at Kathryn’s home studio in South Gloucestershire during daylight hours so that the perfect shades and colours can be chosen for your skin tone. Trial appointments are Tuesday to Friday, between the hours of 9:30am and 3:30pm. During the trial, Kathryn will gain an understanding of your makeup requirements and will consider your skin type; hair and eye colouring; your vision and the theme of your wedding day; what you and your bridesmaids will be wearing on the day; your chosen bridal hair style; and any makeup ideas that you would like to incorporate. Please bring along images to show Kathryn.
Early booking is recommended to ensure availability for your special day. Your wedding date will then be reserved in Kathryn’s diary (upon receipt of a £40 booking deposit) and a date will be scheduled for your trial closer to the wedding itself.
Please contact Kathryn for further information on her availability for your wedding date.
“Thank you so much for my beautiful makeup! I was so nervous about my makeup, but you put me at ease and blew my expectations!”

Prime Laser Systems was founded by a husband and wife team with experience in the laser industry dating back to 1995. Steve and Amy Paradis met in 1998 at the legendary electronic music club night, Buzz, in Washington DC. At that time, Amy was a lighting operator for the club and Steve was part of the team who provided laser shows for the large events in the venue. The two have been together ever since.
Steve and Amy share a passion for music and event production. Over the years, the two have provided lasers for a vast range of music and events. Prime Laser Systems' experience includes large scale festivals, professional sports, clubs, casinos, theme parks, private and corporate events, photo and video shoots.
We are both so passionate about music and art it is a
wonderful feeling being able to share that with so many people
in such a unique and creative way.

We welcome and invite you to share your memories of Detroit's former synagogues and Jewish sites.
Email your memories to us » and we will add them to the site. *PLEASE* be sure to cite the name of the synagogue or site.
Shared Memories of First Hebrew Congregation of Delray
My Godfather lived next door to the synagogue and on Sabbath The Rabbi would ask him to turn the sound up on the radio so he could listen to the Tigers game. My family had roots Delray.
Love your stories--
I found some good info in the UM archives:

Corrosion testing can be used to great advantage when developing new materials, selecting materials for structures, quality assurance and analysis of failure and damage. Corrosion testing can be performed under realistic conditions; in field or operating trials or in a laboratory setting.
Swerim has a broad offering for testing in the field and under operating conditions. To acquire fundamental knowledge of metallic corrosion, electrochemical analyses are usually conducted.
Corrosion assessment at Swerim includes:
- Expertise in corrosion of metallic materials and how corrosion processes occur via material-microstructure-corrosion interaction.
- Electrochemical testing in different electrolytes over a range of temperatures and pressure, including measurement of the critical pitting corrosion temperature/potential as well as critical crevice corrosion temperature/potential in accordance with ASTM standards (e.g., ASTM G150 (in an Avesta cell), ASTM G61, ASTM G48).
- Autoclave testing for corrosion exposure in aggressive environments at high temperature and pressure.
- Customised testing. Swerim also carries out method development.
- Field exposure testing.
- Testing with respect to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and hydrogen embrittlement (HE) with SSRT (Slow strain rate testing), constant load and TDS (Thermal Desorption Spectroscopy).
- Measurement of localised corrosion on the micro/nanometre scale: Swerim is outstanding in localised corrosion testing linked to material microstructure using SVET (Scanning Vibrating Electrode Technique), SKPFM (Scanning Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy) and in situ AFM.
- Advanced material and surface characterisation together with predictions of material behaviour through thermodynamic computations.
We perform corrosion testing in research projects and in company-specific commissioned R&D work.
