The game starts of with a nice, and fairly long, cut scene in which we are introduced to the main protagonist of this story, Kayron Jarvis. His father used to be a star pilot known throughout the galaxy but he tragically died in an accident. Upon his death, Kayron’s father left him a gift with one of his closest friends. The gift was a new spaceship called DarkStar One; A magnificent ship with alien technology to make its upgrade capabilities limitless. Receiving this ship spurs Kayron to finally go out and look for clues to his fathers death.
When the cut scene ends you are placed in the space station (you are technically in it but you can only see it in the background) and are suggested to start doing the tutorial missions which will also start you on the storyline. From the station you can also do a variety of other things such as: check your mission log, acquire new missions, become an escort for someone else’s cargo, buy or sell cargo, upgrade the DarkStar One, check out the star map, check out the scenery from one of the station’s many viewports or take off into space.
The combat is easy to get used to, especially to someone not used to space simulators. When you have an enemy in sight, once you get close enough a crosshair will appear in front of their ship which indicates the best place to aim for to hit them; It even moves itself to this crosshair if you are aiming near enough to it. What could be simpler. At first you only have the machine turret which will pump out rounds that do minimal damage. Later on you can upgrade this and even add new weapons from the different races technology; from missiles to laser cannons, anything to make a bigger explosion.
You will not be stuck for places to explore in this game with a whopping 23 sectors to explore containing 331 systems. A varying number of these sectors each belong to one of the game’s seven races: Terrans, Mortok, Raptor, Oc’to, Arrack, and Thul. Do not worry about getting around though, once you have been to the planets station you can acquire a key for the jump gate near it. This allows for you to utilise the hyperspace engine attached to your ship and get around much easier.
Great, fun, simplistic battle system with elements of an RPG when it comes to upgrading your ship.
Stunning scenery that makes you want to explore every inch of the universe.
Realistic sounds that matched the action well but the sound did not sync when people were speaking to you via the intercom.
Disclaimer:All scores given within our reviews are based on the artist’s personal opinion; this should in no way impede your decision to purchase the game.

We recently blogged about our new profile customization options. I've made a few updates since and wanted to update you on them.
As you may already be aware, we have added Twitter integration into IP.Board 3.1. This enables you to 'connect' your Twitter account to your forum account to share links, status updates and to allow you to use your Twitter photo on the board.
I've taken this a step further and added an option to allow you to import your Twitter background preferences to your profile:
My test Twitter account with using a different Twitter theme
The background preferences (img and color) imported into IP.Board
The preferences control panel
I've also added a few handy links to the Profile Customization control panel. These links allow you to revert all customizations, remove just the background image and load your profile to see the changes:
I've also included a quick way to remove your own customizations while viewing your profile:
And if you are a "Super Moderator", then you remove and remove and disable customizations on any profile you view:
We hope that you enjoy this feature and allowing Twitter to set your background further personalizes your board profile and re-enforces your own personal brand.

Vectra AI, a leader in threat detection and response, today announced the availability of its Cognito platform in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, an online store providing applications and services for use on Microsoft Azure.
Organizations interested in using the Vectra Cognito platform across cloud, data center, networks and IoT/OT can now test or purchase Cognito on Azure Marketplace using their pre-existing agreements with Microsoft.
“MNP leverages cloud platforms to implement technology solutions for our clients at scale. As a Microsoft Gold Partner, our teams support the migration of critical business applications and databases to the Azure cloud platform,” said Eugene Ng, Partner at MNP. “We are thrilled to have our cyber security partner Vectra AI software solution available to our clients in Azure Marketplace.”
Account takeover in Office 365 has become the largest security threat vector in the cloud. The strategic approach allows the attacker to gain access to the data and privileges associated with the compromised account and then work their way laterally through the network.
Vectra offers four applications on the Cognito platform to address these high-priority use cases:
- Cognito Detect for Office 365 and Azure AD™ finds and stops attacks in enterprise SaaS applications and the Microsoft 365 Ecosystem. The application offers visibility into Power Automate, Teams, eDiscovery, Compliance Search, Azure AD backend, Exchange, SharePoint, third party SaaS providers and more.
- Cognito Detect™ provides the fastest most efficient way to prioritize and stop attacks across cloud, data center, applications, and workloads, as well as user & IoT devices and accounts.
- Cognito Stream™ sends security-enriched metadata to data lakes and SIEMs in Zeek-format.
- Cognito Recall™ is a cloud-based application that stores and investigates threats in enriched metadata.
Users of Vectra’s Cognito platform can combine cloud and data center detections with in-depth information from Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for greater context and stop attacks at the endpoint. Cognito is also seamlessly integrated with Azure Sentinel to create custom workbooks for enhanced investigation, correlation, and automation.
“Vectra is focused on making things easier for its customers. Whether that requires helping security teams see and stop the most sophisticated cyberattacks at scale, or making it quick and easy to find, buy and deploy industry-leading threat detection and response technology,” said Randy Schirman, Vice President. “For companies that rely on the global footprint, scalability, reliability and agility of Microsoft Azure, we now offer a one-stop shopping experience via a pre-approved and preferred purchasing channel.”
Vectra’s Cognito platform is available worldwide today on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. Purchases made through the marketplace also help streamline billing and procurement for joint customers.
The Azure Marketplace is an online market for buying and selling finished Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications and premium datasets. The Azure Marketplace helps connect companies seeking innovative, cloud-based solutions with partners who have developed solutions that are ready to use.

Yippee the long awaited release of Fairy Ria and her special friend are almost upon us.. All the new images will be available on Wednesday in the M4M store... but today I have a preview of one of these new adorable images so without further ado let me introduce you to 'Fairy Ria' and she is sat with her special egg! I decided that as we are getting ever closer to Easter that the image seemed just right for an Easter card. Paper is I believe from Peppermint Creative but it has been stored on my pc for a very long time so not totally sure. I went with an easel style card, the sentiment was a freebie from a while ago over at Sentimental Sunday and the adorable Fairy Ria has been coloured using copics E00, 21, 47,49,57, BV00, 02 & 31, I added glamour dust to her wings and paper pieced the egg from the same paper as the background but I also stamped on it to give it more pattern, flowers and gems are from my stash and flourishes cut with the Cricut.
For some more sneak peaks be sure to pop over to the Mad For Markers Blog and there will be more previews tomorrow and release day is Wednesday.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Tuesday Throwdown #90 ~ Spring clean use stash you've been hoarding, the digi paper and pink card blanks have been in my stash for a very long time!
Creative Inspirations #155 ~ Anything Goes
Crafts and Me #76 ~ Light airy spring colours
Sweet Stampin' ~ Anything Goes

Nearly 150 same-sex couples in Mexico City marked a historic moment by participating in a mass wedding ceremony as part of the city’s Pride Month celebrations.
Mexico City witnessed a monumental event on Friday with 147 same-sex couples celebrating their nuptials in a mass wedding ceremony. This event was part of the city’s Pride Month celebrations, highlighting both the personal commitments of the couples and the ongoing fight for equal rights.
The ceremony began with a performance by the Gay Choir of Mexico City and was followed by a standardized civil ritual where couples exchanged vows. Groom Ricardo Mercado remarked on the emotional and energetic atmosphere created by the gathered community.
This collective wedding has become an annual tradition in Mexico City, which was one of the first metropolises to legalize same-sex marriage in 2009. The event, supported by the local government, offers a cost-effective way for couples to marry.
The 2023 celebration also included the participation of transgender individuals finalizing their gender change processes. In the previous year, the event returned after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, featuring a large wedding cake adorned with rainbow frosting.
The mass wedding symbolizes Mexico City’s longstanding tradition of advocating for LGBTQ+ rights and providing a platform for communal celebration during Pride Month.

Precious Opal Cameo on Black Onyx .999 Fine Silver Bezel Pendant
Precious Opal Cameo on Black Onyx .999 Fine Silver Bezel Pendant with Twisted Wire Accent
A beautiful precious opal cameo exhibiting moving flashes in multi-colors of light within a clear to white opal stone against a solid black onyx background stone displays; wears well with most colors; typically better with dark, medium or light colors versus earth tone and bright colors, as the multi-color reflections are more distinct against clear contrasting colors, earth tones tend to dull the brilliant color flashes, and bright colors tend to obscure them; both standard and artistic shape and pattern appeals to both artistic and purist views.
Pendant Description: Translucent multi-color reflective opal cameo against a oval shaped black onyx stone cabochon set in a fine silver bezel accented with twisted fine silver wire, open back.
Stone Size: Medium (1” x 3/4” x 1/8” or 25 x 18 x 3 mm).
Pattern: Multi-color reflective cameo against a solid glossy black background.
Contour: Smooth contoured cameo on a flat black onyx face.
Unique Features: As given by pattern.
Polish: High gloss, brilliant.
Edges: Enclosed in silver bezel with twisted wire accent, open back.
Comment: Handmade by master jeweler Carlos T. Portilla, a unique, genuine semi-precious stone pendant, this piece is posted individually, not merely a representative item - what you see is what you get.

Dynamics are a little overrated, sometimes you want a band with a slow hand (and, er, an easy touch). Grizzly Bear (a GREENPOINT band, not a WILLIAMSBURG band) are best when they shimmer, moving like eyes in REM sleep. When they get loud that’s okay too–but it doesn’t always have to be about the difference does it?
It’s so odd imagining this band as a one man project, since the other three members paint the songs with the most translucent bits of flute and clarinet. The band is also great at balancing creep and beauty, their harmonies are uncomfortable, but washed with autoharp they even out, pounding, overdramatic drums and loops are nothing against the banality of the lyrics (“My chest hurts todayâ€? the most obvious and thus exampled lyric).
Opener Tyondai Braxton played loops that sounded like Darth Vader breathing with an iron lung, quicksaw inhales and throaty exhales. All I can say besides that is some girl in a faux leopard fur jacket took a lot of pictures of him. She obviously had a crush on him, which is weird, how do you fall for some dude who makes groans come out of boxes?

It has been an exciting spring for JMMDS. Just today, Julie’s own gardens and beaverpond were spotlighted on Gardenista by Michelle Slatalla in “Garden Designer Visit: A Burst of Color in the Green Mountains.” Susan Teare’s luminous photos create a stunning virtual tour. Michelle also “leaked” that our Home Outside Palette app will be featured in Gardenista’s upcoming Garden Tech Roundup!
Our recent Cambridge, MA, residential project has been featured in two magazines this month: the March/April issue of Design New England and the Spring print issue of Garden Design. The two articles, “Woodland Modern” by Courtney Goodrich and “A Daydream Garden” by Justine Guidry, respectively, speak about the challenge of designing a garden for such a small, awkward space and how JMMDS—with project manager Anna Johansen—was able to create a lush, sustainable retreat for the 80-by-80-foot property.
JMMDS’s work was also featured on the cover of the April/May edition of Ocean Home magazine, showcasing a spectacular residential property on the island of Virgin Gorda in the Caribbean. Utilizing local labor, hand tools, and artisan decorations, the residence and landscape were ten years in the making, and the result is truly special. Jana Bryan was JMMDS’s project manager and has written a blog post about the plants used in this remarkable landscape.
Julie has been working on the renovation of the Japanese garden Tenshin-en, the Garden of the Heart of Heaven, at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, for over a year and a half. The official unveiling finally occurred on Friday, April 24th as part of the museum’s annual Art in Bloom festival. On Monday, April 27th, Julie gave a presentation at the museum entitled “A Tale of Two Masters,” about the original 1988 opening of the garden, designed by Kinsaku Nakane, as well as the refurbishment and reopening. The renovated garden is now open to the public.
JMMDS’s own Jana Bryan is featured in the spring edition of Vermont Life magazine, in an article about up-and-coming eateries in Bellows Falls. “The Popolo Impetus” includes Jana’s coffeehouse, the Flat Iron Exchange, as one of the buzzing spots in the downtown area.
Be sure to keep on the lookout for Vermont Life’s summer issue for an article about Julie and JMMDS!

Typically, a water heater malfunction occurs with an older water heater. The average lifespan of a water heater is around 8 to 12 years. Most problems arise toward the end of the appliance’s lifespan.
Neglecting to repair your unit could result in a safety hazard. Contact the professionals at Jolly Plumbing to inspect your unit.
We’ll come out to evaluate your water heater and determine whether your appliance needs a simple repair or replacement. If your water heater is still under warranty, we’ll get the necessary parts from the manufacturer and fix it.
Water Heater Maintenance
As water goes through electric or natural gas water heaters, minerals and sediment fall out. They then settle at the bottom of your water heater’s tank. As the years go on, they begin to build up and block the heating elements from delivering their full energy to heating the water.
Hiring a professional to flush your water heater is essential. Attempting to do it yourself could result in system damage or even hot water burns. Our team of specialists can perform this task correctly and safely, improving the efficiency of your unit.
Water Heater Installation and Replacement
Upgrading your outdated water heater to a new electric, gas, or tankless water heater could reduce your monthly energy bills. You’ll notice an improvement in its performance while enjoying the benefits of a more efficient unit.
One of our plumbing experts will come out to your household and provide you with a recommendation based on your household’s needs. Call us today to receive a free estimate.

How Much Does It Cost to Repair Your Water Heater?
There are a variety of factors that come into play when replacing or repairing a water heater. One of those factors is whether your unit is gas or electric. Gas water heaters are a bit more expensive than electric ones.
Access to your water heater also plays a role in the cost of repairs or replacements. If it’s difficult to access your unit, the job will take more time.
When a new water heater is installed, the state needs to inspect it. Jolly Plumbing will take care of scheduling the inspection, but new water heaters are required to have an expansion tank. If your old water heater doesn’t have an expansion tank, that’ll be an extra cost.

Q. You grew up in the fifties in Chicago in a world you call “Negroland.” What was “Negroland”?
Margo Jefferson: Negroland is my name for a small region of Negro America where residents were sheltered by a certain amount of privilege and plenty. Children in Negroland were warned that few Negroes enjoyed privilege or plenty and that most whites would be glad to see them returned to indigence, deference, and subservience.

Hi! Let’s just get right into this! Last week I asked you all what to do over our guest bed. I worked with Carpenter Farmhouse to have this beautiful sign made and wanted to show it off over our new shiplap wall. Most people picked option 1 which was the @cottonstem hoop wreaths with the words underneath it sign horizontally. But only a few less people suggested option 4 which was to stack the words and frame it with a garland. Ultimately, we decided on option 4 with a little twist!
I was really torn between the two options but ultimately decided on this one for now because I knew it wouldn’t take much time and would be very inexpensive. Have no fear though! I’m sure I’ll incorporate the Cotton Stem beauts into our home eventually!
Putting this together above the bed was very simple!
Let me know if you have any questions! Thank you all for the support.

I managed to submit a peek into the future of my articles to 3blue1brown’s #SoME2 competition. I also updated my profile picture.
As a brief summary, I’ve been producing fewer articles since the start of the summer to focus on making a video for 3blue1brown’s #SoME2 contest. I learned a lot during this process, so I might be able to make videos and articles more consistently. Also, I changed my profile picture to something that felt a little cooler.
The Profile Picture
Nothing much to explain here. I wanted an image that was a little more iconic for my social media accounts. I based it off a construction I made for an article in my series How to Discover Finite Fields While Bored in Class. I had to fix up some of the colors and add some effects, but it turned out nice. Part of the reason I’m writing this article is to make sure that people who follow me but don’t realize that I changed my profile picture recognize my face in the thumbnail.
Ever since I made a video for Veritasium’s 1-minute SciComm Contest, I’ve wanted to make full-length videos, especially after 3blue1brown announced the first Summer of Math Exposition Contest (i.e. the #SoME1 Contest) right after. While I was able to make a video for the Veritasium Contest, I was unable to make one for #SoME1, so…

For many, symmetry in law enjoys nearly the same status as mom, baseball, and apple pie: it is of the essence of the American way of life. Law would not be law as we know it without the requirement of evenhandedness; justice as we envision her is blindfolded, so as not to see who stands before her. Nevertheless, in the course of our careers (such as they are) in legal academia, the two of us have from time to time proposed the adoption of asymmetrical legal doctrines. We are quite certain that asymmetry is not only tolerable in certain circumstances, but a necessity. Thus we're swimming against the cultural tide, and so have encountered more than a little resistance to our doctrinal proposals. We'd like to take this occasion to explore that resistance and to reflect on its possible sources. In the event that the reader is unfamiliar with the doctrinal recommendations of which we speak, we begin with synopses of them.

In primates, stimulus-driven changes in visual attention can facilitate or hinder perceptual performance, depending on the location and timing of the stimulus event. Mice have emerged as a powerful model for studying visual circuits and behavior; however, it is unclear whether mice show similar interactions between stimulus events and visual attention during perceptual decisions. To investigate this, we trained head-fixed mice to detect a near-threshold change in visual orientation and tested how performance was altered by task-irrelevant stimuli that occurred at different times and locations with respect to the orientation change. We found that task-irrelevant stimuli strongly affected mouse performance. Specifically, stimulus-driven attention in mice followed a similar time course as that in other species: The decreases in reaction times fully emerged between 250 and 400 ms after the stimulus event, and detection accuracy was not affected. However, the effects of stimulus-driven attention on behavior in mice were insensitive to stimulus-event location, an aspect different from what is known in primates. In contrast, reaction times in mice were reduced at longer delays after the task-irrelevant stimulus event regardless of its spatial congruence to the target. These results highlight the strengths and limitations of using mice as a model for studying higher-order visual functions.

Most of my blog posts are a bit more about my business: how it works, what to expect when you work with me and how to prepare for your photo session. But, I’m sharing a bit more about myself in this season of gratitude.
Dogs effortlessly steal our hearts with their playful antics, unwavering loyalty, and unconditional love. As a dog photographer, I have the privilege of capturing the unique bond between animals and their human companions. Every dog has a story to tell, and it is my passion to bring those stories to life through photography.
Vermont Family Photography is my passion. I love capturing the precious moments of a family’s journey. Family photography allows us to freeze fleeting moments and create timeless memories that will be cherished for generations to come.
I’m here to share my stress-free approach to Vermont family photography, ensuring a relaxed and enjoyable experience for everyone involved
Sometimes worries about what to wear prevent people from getting lifestyle family photos taken. Being worried about what to wear is not a good reason to skip family photos. As you read through this fun list of what not to wear, I think you’ll see that selecting clothes for your lifestyle family photos is easier than you think!
Natural Family Photos are the perfect gift for both parents and grandparents. We work so hard to build and provide for our families.

Outdoor family photography in the Burlington Vermont area is extra special in the spring! After a long winter, the Vermont landscape is starting to come to life again. This Burlington family decided on Mills Riverside Park in Jericho for their photo session.
Home might be the perfect place for your next family portrait. Yes, yes, Vermont offers us many beautiful backdrops, but sometimes there really is no place like the front porch and back yard. The comfort of home is perfect for a relaxed portrait session. Home is a familiar and comfortable environment for families. That can […]

The Sunday Times (9 July) has a breathless report that Michael Gove is thinking of building a quarter of a million new homes in Cambridge, in order to turn the city into a ‘tech leader’, and that he will send a planning ‘hit squad’ over to ensure that annoying irritations like ‘eco rules’ don’t get in the way of his brilliant plan.
Apparently this will help to ‘fix England’s housing crisis and unleash growth in the life sciences and technology sectors’.
Let’s ignore for the moment that the chances of Gove still being Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities after next summer are very slim – indeed it is unlikely that his band of failed Tories will be anywhere near ministerial office.
And let’s ignore for the moment that the ‘tightly guarded’ plan, which goes under the mysterious code name ‘Cambridge 2040’ (I wonder what it could be about…) seems to consist of some under-researched aspirations and a briefing to a friendly newspaper in a desperate search for positive headlines.
What would it take to actually deliver such a plan, assuming we wanted it?

The other week was San Diego Comic Con, which brings in a lot of the big television, movie and streaming studios. This year Netflix went big for their movie The Gray Man, with a giant set and interactive experience where attendees find their way out of a crashed train car, unlock secret briefcases, and end up running across the top of the train car to activate their final token. For the last part of the experience, with them running across the top of the train car, Netflix decided they wanted a camera to fly along with the person as they race along, which is where my job came in.
This gig came through my connection with Industry Sherpa, who has provided us with the Blackarm on most of our driving plate shoots, as well as the rear-mounted platform for the Hacks job earlier this year (and detailed in one of my recent posts). They had a wire-mounted camera system called the Eagle Eye. If you've ever watched an NFL game and seen the camera floating above the field on wires, that is the type of system we were using. We had a specialist from Germany and a Los Angeles based Eagle Eye operator running the wire-mounted system, while myself and one other camera operator were responsible for the payload attached to the Eagle Eye, namely the Mōvi Pro and Sony FX6.
We mounted the camera sideways, as Netflix wanted it social media friendly (aka, vertical video). The iris, focus and zoom were all adjusted through motors run off of the Mōvi and controlled through their console style controller. The Eagle Eye operators programmed in the moves and were responsible for throttling the speed the camera flew through the air while myself and the other operator (switching out for breaks, etc) would operate the camera off of the joystick, as operating was fully manual which required us to frame the shot each and every time, for hundreds of takes.
It wasn't too hard to operate, with the biggest challenge being the dance between the incredibly varied speeds people would traverse the train car top and the speed of the Eagle Eye moving through the air, with us camera operators repeating our moves with slight adjustments to compensate for variances between those two variables. I typically do narrative and commercial work, not live events, so this was an interesting departure from my usual, as there was no such thing as a second take! But it was a good time and definitely helped me sharpen my remote gimbal operating skills.

What is Germany’s GDP growth forecast for this year: risks to the economy
The other day the German government presented a new forecast of GDP growth for the current year. An important point of the document was the need for investment and the strategy for obtaining it. According to analysts, large investments in Europe will help it to stay afloat and not lose competitiveness.
The published forecast is almost identical to the analysis, which was provided a week earlier by the International Monetary Fund. Experts plan that German GDP will grow by 1.1% this year. For comparison, in 2019 the country’s economy grew by only 0.6%, which is the lowest value since 2013. These figures stand out especially against the background of 2018, when the economy grew by 1.5%. At the same time, Germany remains the state with the largest market of the European Union.
The analysts are optimistic about the current year. They hope that the positive dynamics of the U.S. and China trade war settlement will bring results and the growth of the world economy will resume.
It is worth noting that the economy of Germany and the European Union as a whole has weakened significantly after the release of the UK. In addition, the market is affected by the global slowdown.
According to the GDP forecast, consumer spending in Germany will increase and exports will grow. However, the trading segment remains at risk, especially after Donald Trump announced his intention to introduce import duties on cars from Europe. This is due to the tension between the EU and the USA, which is reflected in many segments, including agriculture, automotive and IT.
According to the Minister of Economy of Germany, this year’s prospects are quite favorable, but these growth rates are disappointing. Therefore, it is important to accelerate development and improve productivity, which will allow attracting as much investment in the country’s economy as possible.
The German government has drawn up a strategy to raise the market. Within its framework, it is planned to allocate approximately 160 billion euros to various segments by 2023, including the digital, infrastructure and transport sectors.
Recently, analysts have conducted a survey of Germans about their confidence in the state’s economic policy. The results showed that consumers have a positive attitude towards the processes taking place in Germany. The confidence index has increased from 9.7 points to 9.9 points since the beginning of the year. Positive sentiment indicates that the economic growth rate in consumer spending is satisfactory and has all chances to grow in the future.
Besides, the index of economic expectations has increased by 0.7 points since December last year, while the index of expectations of wage growth has grown by 0.9 points.

The project aims to empower women to express their interpretations of the cities they live in through music, encourage change in the fields of music and technology through unique musical experiences, and support their potential for producing their own music.
In addition to annual training sessions and accompanying albums, “My City, My Voice” continues to grow with series of concerts. In 2023, it featured many women musicians from the first two editions during the “Bu Festival Bizim” event, making it both a platform for artist development and a way for new artists to reach audiences.
My City My Voice III (2024 Edition)
The third edition of the project, running in 2024, includes participants from the Balkan countries and Ankara! During the project, participants received training on various topics such as music production, soundscapes, music broadcasting, and participated in regular feedback sessions. They then used the trainings to transform recordings from sound walks in their cities into musical compositions. The album includes songs produced by participants from Ankara and the Balkans, and is released on all music platforms.
My City My Voice II (Previous Edition)
In partnership with the UK’s Saffron Records, this edition focused on cultural diversity in Turkey. Fifteen participants from Diyarbakır, Gaziantep, and Izmir were selected. They developed their compositions from sounds collected during local sound walks. The project participants performed in two concerts and their album is released in April 2023.
My City My Voice (First Edition)
Launched in 2021 by Beats By Girlz Turkey and supported by the British Council, this edition aimed to empower women to channel their urban experiences into music. It produced an album and a documentary, showcased at the Women of the World Festival in Istanbul in March 2022.

For some new (or younger) fans, their introduction to Blaze Foley may have been the 2018 film Blaze, with actor/musician Ben Dickey portraying the enigmatic songwriter. For others, Sybil Rosen‘s incredible memoir/biography, Living in the Woods in a Tree, offering a candid look at their time together, might have given more insight into who the songwriter was and how he developed his craft.
Ultimately, there’s no denying it’s the music. And, though not widely-known when he passed away more than thirty years ago, Foley became a Texas legend with a far-reaching influence that carries on to this day.
This evening, local music artists will pay homage to the poet and master finger-picker with A Tribute To Blaze Foley: The Duct Tape Messiah. Jacob Jaeger, Jimmie Dreams, Austin duo Warm Sugar and others will perform some of their favorite Foley songs, starting at 7 p.m. tonight, Monday Nov. 9, at The Far Out Lounge, 8504 S. Congress Ave.

I’ve been a fan of Penang Hokkien Mee (commonly referred to as Prawn Mee in KL) ever since I was able to get to choose my own breakfast, it also means that my affinity towards this particular dish started longer than some of you have been alive, which might not exactly be a very proud talking point, but lets not digress.
I’ve known the existence of this particular hawker stall at seapark for quite a while but somehow never gave it a try until very recently. This was partly due to the fact that a particular ex housemate said the laksa was not very good, and that I didn’t know they serve Hokkien mee too.
stall by the side of the road serving Laksa and Hokkien Mee
Actually we ended up at the stall due to the fact that Soo Kee across the road ran out of steamed chicken as we arrived too late. While settling down to our table, I over heard the owners speaking in Penang Hokkien, a definite good sign.
Rachel ordered asam laksa, while Horng and I asked for the Hokkien mee. The place was cozy despite the afternoon heat, and the whole mobile hawker set up gives it a feeling that is very close to home.
Rachel, KY, Horng, and those pretty good size prawns
Rachel’s verdict for the laksa was actually quite positive. Here’s what she said about it, and I quote:
Rachying says (11:21 AM):
erm actualy it somehow satisfy my crave for laksa back home?
just if i can have more fish
that would be awesome
cos the soup will be thicker
As for the Hokkien mee, I really liked it a lot. All the usual ingredients and the slightly larger than usual prawns in a soup base that has the right prawn taste to it. Very proper and very delicious, I love it. This would be the 3rd Hokkien mee place around the area that I approve. The other two being Yon Lee at TTDI and the stall at Kampung Chempaka.
the hokkien mee and asam laksa stall is located at SEA Park
RM 4 for a bowl of that Penang flavor right here in the heart of PJ, I’m going to be a frequent customer. This stall opens from brunch till tea time. You can also find pretty awesome teow chew porridge just right opposite the stall, and there’s this very nice nasi lemak with ayam goreng at night at the same place too.

OK, I’m going to go on a bit of a rant here, but I think it’s necessary.
In the last several weeks I have gotten several emails from students feeling it is unfair to have to purchase a newer version of a course or a new course because they had paid for a similar course prior. I have to tell you, I was a bit offended. If the author of a course has to go through the trouble of researching the changes, learning the changes, figuring out the changes, rewriting or rerecording the curriculum, etc, don’t you feel they deserve to get paid? I feel this even more true if it was/is a fairly low cost training and the person has bought it a while ago.
If techniques and technology have changed and it’s not as a result of the author/teacher, you have to look at it as cost of doing business. Accountants and Lawyers and any professional have go back to school for continuing education–and guess what? They pay for this. The schools that offer continuing education (and let’s face it, there isn’t any profession that doesn’t need continuing professional education) don’t do it for free. So why should authors/teachers who put their own time, effort and money to learn and distill the new information give it away for free? You’re right, they shouldn’t.

Issuing a Non-Disclosure Agreement is a good way to protect your business if you’re going to be disclosing sensitive information. When a business carries out its operations multiple parties will be exposed to information. These include employees, third parties, suppliers, investors and more. These people will all get access to information about your business that you will likely want to keep private. Whether it’s financial information, product releases or your plans for the business generally, a lot of damage can be done if this information gets released to the public. Issuing a one-way NDA will help ensure that this information remains confidential. However, there are some things you should do after completing your NDA (one-way) to further secure your business.
1. Ensure it’s signed and dated correctly
One important thing to remember about NDAs is that your information is only protected from the date it is either:
- Signed; or
- The date stated in the NDA (if the NDA is to be retrospective).
Because your NDA only needs to be signed by the person (or entity) you’re issuing it to, it’s important to check that the document has been signed correctly. NDAs will also only protect information which you disclose from (or within) the specified time. For example, if you issue an NDA which is signed and dated in October, information you disclose in September won’t be covered.
2. Consider other documents you may need
One-way NDAs can be helpful in a number of circumstances including:
- When hiring employees;
- If you’re pitching your business to investors or other stakeholders;
- In your dealings with other businesses.
When it comes to hiring employees, it’s also a good idea to have an employment contract in place. An employment contract will clearly set out the terms of employment, as well as:
- Notice periods
- Performance and pay reviews
- Restraint of trade
If you’re pitching your business to potential investors, you should also consider how your intellectual property is protected. Registering a trademark for your business name, logo and any other unique assets will not only ensure that your intellectual property is safe from misuse, but also increase your brand’s value.
3. Review how your business stores information
Many NDA breaches are unintentional. These can come about through cyber hacks, accidental leaks and failures to update online software. If you’re trying to prevent others from releasing information about your business, it’s also a good idea to check your business’s file-keeping processes. One way to do this is by making sure your systems are up to date. Further, having a response plan in place in case information becomes compromised will help your business manage a data breach.
The information your business holds is no doubt valuable. However, beyond completing your NDA (one-way), there are further steps you can take to protect your business. If you have further questions about protecting your confidentiality, it may be worth getting in touch with a business lawyer.

Leaside High School was awarded platinum certification on its Ecoschools audit this past May. Ecoschools is an Ontario program whose mandate is to certify schools that attain certain benchmarks in institutionalizing the concepts of sustainability and stewardship among their students.
After achieving gold status for two years in a row, the Eco Team and Vanessa Mo, a Grade 9 science teacher and their staff advisor, set their sights on achieving platinum status this year through adding some new initiatives to their regular annual activities.
To qualify, the team had to complete an application with 60 questions, and then accompany an auditor from Ecoschools around the school while she rated them on different aspects of their program.
Regular activities of the Eco Team include a “Battery Bake Sale,” where used batteries are turned in for baked goods, and an energy conservation campaign with the team touring the school at lunchtime and leaving notices for teachers who have forgotten to turn off lights and computers not in use.
In addition, this year each student was allotted 50 sheets of printer paper for use in school, but had to pay extra if they needed more. The school also committed to using only recycled paper. In keeping with the recycling theme, the team planted 250 trees, bushes and plants with the Leaside Rotary Club in Moccasin Trail Park in May.
Another popular feature involves special lunches such as the Harvest and Winter Cafés where the team served locally grown meals made from seasonal vegetables, and offered a discount to those who brought their own reusable dishes.
But, most notably, this year saw a new focus on promoting a cycling culture within the school. The team launched this initiative after attending a biking advocacy workshop which focused on the importance of biking to school and the issue of cycling safety. This led to a “Cycle to School Week” at the end of May during which they organized group rides – a program they hope to repeat in September.
A consultant from Green Communities Canada, Laura Zeglen, contacted Leaside as one of the schools on Eglinton Ave. affected by the building of the LRT and discussed with the school the establishment of a School Travel Plan to promote active transportation to school, including cycling.
Green Communities, Metrolinx and the EcoTeam conducted a tour of the neighbourhood to check on the effects of the construction and increased traffic at major intersections in the area. Toronto Public Health also participated and helped to develop a plan to promote active transportation. As part of the School Travel Plan, the TDSB is now looking at adding a bike lane in the parking lot and additional bike racks to encourage cycling.
The Eco Team recently submitted a petition to Councillor Burnside requesting a traffic sign at the corner of Overlea and Millwood, reminding motorists to allow cyclists space and time to merge into traffic there after a Grade 9 student was hit on his way to school. They would also like to see a bike lane on Laird and Millwood to facilitate biking to school, especially for those coming from East York.
Team member Anna Postill, who is heading into Grade 12, summed up her involvement with the Eco Team by saying she enjoys “making a difference and advocating for what you believe in, even though it is not a popular thing to do.”
Doris Du, entering Grade 11, echoed this sentiment when she said she joined the club on a whim, but stayed when she “learned more about it and became passionate about the team’s work.” ?

Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas will make its debut in the upcoming months in Ireland with the rebranding of The Marker Hotel in Dublin, one of the Irish capital’s most modern and luxurious buildings. The addition of the property in Dublin will represent the expansion of the luxury brand’s footprint into northwest Europe for the first time and also the first urban Anantara hotel in Europe.
The hotel is located in the Docklands, one of the most attractive and dynamic areas of the Irish capital, in the heart of Silicon Docks, a nod to Silicon Valley on account of the high concentration of multinational high-tech companies located in the area. Close to the International Financial Services Centre (IFSC) and the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre, the hotel is a perfect cultural and business epicentre for travellers’ keen to experience Ireland’s famous hospitality at its best. The Marker is the only five-star hotel in the area, which has recently emerged as one of the most vibrant and modern parts of the city for living, working and socialising.
Owned by Deka Immobilien, one of Europe’s leading real estate investment managers, and a member of Leading Hotels of the World, The Marker Hotel has a futuristic design and style and offers 187 contemporary guest rooms over six floors (166 deluxe rooms, 18 executive rooms and three suites) plus eight state-of-the-art event and meeting facilities.
Services such as an award-winning spa, named Irish Tatler Dublin Spa of the year several times, and stylish rooftop terrace with stunning panoramic 360º views and the restaurant La Brasserie, recently named Best Hotel Restaurant in Dublin by the Restaurant Association of Ireland (RAI), are part of the experience of The Marker Hotel.
“We are thrilled to announce the expansion of our luxury Anantara brand into northwest Europe in the fair city of Dublin. The Marker Hotel is already known as one of the city’s leading hotels and bringing the reputation and luxury touch points of Anantara to the property will further elevate the guest experience,” commented Dillip Rajakarier, CEO of Minor Hotels, parent company of Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas.
Ramón Aragonés, CEO of NH Hotel Group, operators of Anantara in Europe, under the guidance and brand oversight of Minor Hotels, said that “this agreement will enable us to bring a truly different value proposition to the Irish market for the first time. The Anantara brand will connect travellers with genuine experiences in a privileged location in the city of Dublin.”
In the surrounding area visitors to the city can enjoy a walk through the culture and heritage of the Docklands, which dates back to the eighteenth century, a wide range of options for foodie travellers, including extravagant cafés and high-end restaurants, shopping on nearby Grafton Street, boat rides along the river and in Dublin Bay or sporting activities from a relaxing yoga class to watching a game of Gaelic football at renowned Croke Park.
The Dublin hotel will be the third Anantara in Europe, joining Anantara Vilamoura Algarve Resort in Portugal and the Anantara Villa Padierna Palace in Marbella, Spain.

- Begin with someone you trust: When you are new at communicating what is and isn’t okay-begin with someone you trust. Ask a good friend, partner or spouse if you can practice with them.
- Say “no” to things that are easy: Start by saying “no” to things that are particularly easy: For instance, if your daughter doesn’t care if you are her Girl Scout Troop Leader and you get no joy out of it, begin there.
- Fail a lot: You aren’t going to wake up one day and be a boundary expert. Seriously, practice. Fail. Then, practice again. This will not happen overnight.

Discover the Hottest Hair Color Trends of the Moment
Ready to give your hair a makeover? If so, start by changing its color! Simple touch-ups, such as darker roots and brighter ends, dip-dye, and bronze ombre, can make all the difference. It’s no need to cut your hair or try a completely new style. All it takes are a few subtle changes.
This season, hair stylists came up with fabulous colors that will complement your best features and make you stand out. It’s hot to wear chestnut brown hair with golden-blonde and red accents, beige blonde, dusty rose, or natural brown with a Champagne shimmer throughout.
Celebrities are crazy about bronde, a combination of blonde and brown hair. This shade brings life to your hair and warms up your skin tone.
If you have paler skin, terracotta hair color is your best set. It’s subtle, natural, and classy.
Another great choice for light colored skin is champagne red. With this hair color, you will feel like a mermaid. Just think of Isla Fisher and her gorgeous hair.
Milk chocolate brown hair is ideal for a natural look. If you’re not ready for a drastic change, get some golden brown highlights on chocolate colored hair. Rich, dark brown will flatter any skin tone.
Or you can opt for chocolate rose gold, which works with both dark and light skin tones.
For those who are bold and want to stand out, pumpkin spice colored hair is the way to go. Ladies with a light skin tone can choose grombre, a mix of dark gray and white.
Other hot colors this season are rich chocolate, warm honey, creamy blonde, sunset red, soft black, and murky pastels. Face-framing highlights and halfway honey are in too! With so many fabulous hair colors available, it should be easy to find one that looks perfect on you.

A 25-floor office block developers want to build on the South Bank will be like a “great crouching toad on the riverbank,” campaigners have warned, as they made their final plea for housing secretary Michael Gove to block the plans.
The offices, planned on the former ITV studio site, will “obliterate” views of the Grade-II listed National Theatre, leave neighbours living in darkness and risk creating empty offices of the future, Michael Ball, from Save Our South Bank said in his closing statement to a planning inquiry yesterday.
Lambeth council approved the development by Mitsubishi Estate London and CO-RE at a meeting in March 2022.
But Mr Gove ordered a public inquiry into the plans following opposition from campaigners, Labour MP Florence Eshalomi and South Bank councillors.
A planning inspector will announce a decision on the development’s future on behalf of Mr Gove in the coming months.
Speaking to a packed room on the final day of the public inquiry in Southwark on Wednesday, Mr Ball said: “[It will be] a great crouching toad on the riverbank.
“The proposed northern riverside tall building doesn’t obscure so much as obliterate any view of the landmark National Theatre.
“The height, bulk and scale of the proposed riverside tall buildings would dwarf the delicate spires of Whitehall Court.
“From the Blackfriars Bridge viewing point, the view of the National Theatre is obliterated. To be reduced from an architectural masterpiece to a ribbon of buildings is a heavy declension.”
Mr Ball went on to question whether 100,000sqft of office space in one of the development’s tall buildings could be filled.
He added that he remained unconvinced by the council’s business case for the workspace, claiming its evidence was two years old.
Matthew Reed KC, representing Lambeth council, rejected claims that the development was ugly.
In his closing statement for the council, he said: “The proposed scheme is beautiful. Those attributes show this scheme is grounded in a thorough grounding of context.
“The proposals do not, like some schemes using large palettes of primary colour, distract.”
Rupert Warren KC, representing the developers, said the building would be a positive addition to the South Bank.
In his closing statement, he said: “All the buildings between the site and Jubilee Gardens share a sense of progressiveness, groundbreaking design quality, and each has its own sense of identity.”
ITV’s former studios at 72 Upper Ground would be bulldozed and replaced with offices, restaurants, shops and a new gallery under the developers’ plans for the site.

Iljo Keisse will ride his last Lotto Zesdaagse Vlaanderen-Gent alongside Jasper De Buyst from 15 to 20 November. A total of 12 Belgians will be at the start in ‘t Kuipke, which has been dressed up appropriately to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Ghent Six Days. Sir Bradley Wiggins will sound the starting shot on Tuesday 15 November.
In 2002, Iljo Keisse rode his first Lotto Zesdaagse Vlaanderen-Gent. Next week, the 39-year-old from Ghent starts his 18th and last Ghent Six Days. Keisse has won the event seven times, most recently in 2018. This year, Keisse will have Jasper De Buyst as a companion. The 28-year-old rider from Flemish Brabant won the Lotto Zesdaagse Vlaanderen-Gent in 2013 and 2014, so he knows the ropes of ‘t Kuipke.
Besides Keisse/De Buyst, there are another two all-Belgian duos. Robbe Ghys, who won the past two editions alongside Kenny De Ketele who bid farewell last year, forms a duo with Lindsay De Vylder. Gianluca Pollefliet and Noah Van Den Branden were very impressive last year winning the AVS Cup for U23s and will now try their luck with the big boys.
Fabio Van den Bossche will ride the Lotto Zesdaagse Vlaanderen-Gent with Dutchman Yoeri Havik, the World Champion in the points race. Van den Bossche took bronze in both the points race and team race at the World Championships. Another Belgian-Dutch collaboration is that between Tuur Dens and Jan-Willem van Schip. Gerben Thijsen/Julius Johansen and Brent Van Mulders/Matias Malmberg are also bringing us two Belgian-Danish duos next week. Stijn Steels will ride with Swiss rider Silvan Dillier and Jules Hesters will go in search of glory alongside German rider Tim Torn Teutenberg.
Finally, there are three ‘national’ pairs: Dutchmen Vincent Hoppezak and Philip Heijnen, but also and especially Germans Roger Kluge and Theo Reinhardt and Brits Ethan Hayter and Fred Wright. Kluge and Reinhardt are the reigning European Team Race Champions, Hayter is World Champion in the omnium and captured gold with Team Great Britain in the team pursuit at the last World Championships in France.

Oprah Faces Off with Denzel Washington After His Shocking Revelations
The confrontation, which took place in a high-profile meeting, marks a significant escalation in the ongoing discourse about transparency and ethical practices within the entertainment industry.
The Revelation Denzel Washington, the acclaimed actor and director, recently broke his silence on various issues plaguing Hollywood.
His statements, which include allegations of exploitation, discrimination, and unethical behavior within the industry, have sent shockwaves through both Hollywood and the broader public.
Washington’s comments have stirred up considerable discussion, particularly concerning systemic problems that he believes have been overlooked or intentionally hidden by powerful figures.
Oprah’s Response Oprah Winfrey, who has been a prominent figure in the entertainment industry and known for her advocacy on various social issues, decided to confront Washington directly.
The meeting reportedly took place at Winfrey’s studio, where the conversation between the two stars was both intense and revealing.
According to sources, Oprah’s confrontation focused on Washington’s claims about the industry’s treatment of minorities and the alleged manipulation of public figures.
Oprah, who has her own connections and controversies within Hollywood, reportedly questioned Washington’s motives and the accuracy of his statements.
She also sought clarification on his accusations against individuals and institutions that have been linked to her own career.
Accountability and Motives Oprah pressed Washington on his reasons for coming forward with these revelations at this particular time.
She questioned whether his claims were intended to expose genuine issues or were motivated by personal grievances.
Verification of Claims Oprah demanded evidence to support Washington’s allegations.
She emphasized the importance of factual accuracy and transparency when making such serious claims about the industry.
Personal Connections The discussion also touched on Oprah’s own experiences and connections within Hollywood.
Oprah reportedly defended her record and role in the industry, asserting that her actions have always been aimed at positive change.
Impact on the Industry Both Washington and Oprah discussed the potential impact of these revelations on Hollywood.
Oprah expressed concern about how such high-profile accusations could affect ongoing efforts to address issues like discrimination and harassment.
Public and Industry Reaction The confrontation between Oprah and Washington has elicited varied reactions from the public and industry insiders.
Supporters of Washington have praised him for his bravery in speaking out and holding the industry accountable.
Critics, however, argue that the public clash between the two celebrities could further polarize the discussion and detract from the broader issues at hand.
Looking Ahead As the fallout from this confrontation continues, both Oprah and Washington are expected to address the matter further in public statements or interviews.
The discussion raises important questions about the responsibilities of public figures in addressing industry issues and the effectiveness of such confrontations in driving meaningful change.
Conclusion Oprah Winfrey’s confrontation with Denzel Washington marks a dramatic moment in the ongoing conversation about Hollywood’s hidden issues.
As both figures continue to navigate their positions and responses, the outcome of this high-profile exchange will likely influence the future discourse on ethics and transparency in the entertainment industry.

Our videos from the Skyfall première are below, featuring interviews with star Daniel Craig, who briskly goes through the questions; Javier Bardem, who says he did not reference any of the previous villains and that it was a joy to work on the movie with Craig and director Sam Mendes; and Dame Judi Dench, who humorously says she could not possibly manage Craig as he is ‘wayward’ and a ‘naughty boy’.
Two earlier videos are also featured that had not run at Lucire earlier: interviews with Craig and Bardem discussing the film. The three-minute interview with Craig—far better than the red-carpet piece—discusses how he had seen a rough cut and that it was ‘very weird’ when seeing himself the first time. He also says that as his third Bond, he feels more comfortable with the role and ‘really give it something’ and ‘stamping a mark on it’. Several clips from Skyfall are included in the interview segment. Craig says there was more humour thanks to the writing and ‘I’d love to make another one.’
Bardem spoke highly of the script and that ‘it looked like a good chance to take.’ He says the villain he plays, Silva, is a complex man with a look that had to match the ‘uncomfortableness’ of his character.
Further images can be seen at Lucire’s Tumblr.

Receiving a bouquet, walking by a rose bush or coming across a field of wildflowers can instantly create a profound feeling of joy. The mood boosting effects of flowers are not just anecdotal, there is extensive scientific research to support the physiological impact of flowers on brain chemistry.
Flowers make the perfect gift for almost every occasion, whether it’s an anniversary, birthday or just because. But did you know that tradition dictates certain types of floral arrangements to commemorate different events? The scents, colors, patterns and shapes of different flowers have come to symbolize different aspects of the human experience.
“These flowers are like the pleasures of the world,” William Shakespeare so eloquently coined. Indeed, they are one of Mother Nature’s finest inventions, coming in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes, and spreading happiness to those who glance upon them.
In which month are you getting married? We here at Brooklyn’s premier flower shop ask because when it comes to all of the blossoms at your nuptials, we can match every gorgeous petal to winter, spring, summer or fall.

Embarking on a first date is a thrilling yet nerve-wracking experience. It presents an opportunity to forge a connection with someone new, possibly laying the groundwork for a meaningful relationship. However, the pressure to impress can make the first date feel like a high-stakes affair. To navigate this exhilarating opportunity with confidence and grace, consider the following tips on preparation, etiquette, and managing nerves and anxiety.
Preparing for the First Date:
- Choose the right outfit: Dressing appropriately can help you feel confident and comfortable. Choose an outfit that makes you feel good about yourself, but also takes into account the location and nature of the date.
- Plan ahead: Choose a location and activity that you’re comfortable with and that allows you to get to know each other. Make reservations if necessary and plan how you will get to and from the location.
- Practice self-care: Take care of yourself before the date. Get enough rest, eat a healthy meal, and do something that relaxes you, such as meditating or taking a walk.
What to Do and What Not to Do on the First Date:
- Do be present: Give your date your full attention and actively listen to what they have to say. Ask questions and show genuine interest in getting to know them.
- Do be yourself: Authenticity is key to forming a real connection. Be honest and true to yourself, and don’t try to be someone you’re not.
- Do be respectful: Treat your date with kindness and respect. Avoid controversial topics, such as religion or politics, and be mindful of their personal boundaries.
- Don’t talk about your ex: Avoid bringing up past relationships, as this can make your date feel uncomfortable or lead them to question your readiness for a new relationship.
- Don’t use your phone: Avoid checking your phone or texting during the date. It can be a distraction and sends the message that you’re not fully invested in the moment.
Handling Nerves and Anxiety:
- Breathe: Take deep breaths to help calm your nerves and bring you back to the present moment.
- Visualize: Imagine the date going well and visualize yourself having a good time. Positive visualization can help boost your confidence and reduce anxiety.
- Practice mindfulness: Pay attention to your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Mindfulness can help you stay present and focused on the moment.
- Remember that it’s okay to be nervous: Everyone gets nervous on a first date, and it’s normal to feel this way. Try to embrace the nerves as a sign of excitement and anticipation.
FAQ: Navigating the First Date
- Should you kiss on a first date? There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as it ultimately depends on personal preferences and the dynamics of the date. Some people may feel comfortable kissing on the first date, while others may prefer to wait. It’s important to read your date’s cues and respect their boundaries. If you’re unsure, it’s always better to err on the side of caution and wait for a more appropriate moment.
- What are red flags on a first date? Red flags on a first date can include a lack of interest or engagement from your date, rude or disrespectful behavior, excessive drinking or drug use, pressuring you for physical intimacy, or making inappropriate or offensive comments. Trust your gut instincts and be cautious of any behavior that makes you feel uncomfortable or unsafe.
- What should happen on a first date? A first date should be an opportunity to get to know each other and have a good time. It can involve a variety of activities, such as going to a restaurant, seeing a movie, going for a walk, or doing an activity you both enjoy. The most important thing is to engage in good conversation, actively listen to each other, and establish a connection.
- What should you avoid on a first date? On a first date, it’s best to avoid controversial topics, such as religion or politics, as well as talking about past relationships or making inappropriate or offensive comments. Additionally, it’s important to be mindful of personal boundaries and avoid pressuring your date for physical intimacy. Lastly, avoid being on your phone or otherwise distracted during the date, as this can send the message that you’re not fully present and engaged.
By approaching the first date with authenticity, respect, and a positive mindset, you can navigate this exciting opportunity with grace and confidence. Remember to prioritize genuine connection and mutual respect, allowing the experience to unfold organically while remaining open to the possibilities that lie ahead.

Vitamin D activation is necessary for the stored form of vitamin D to become available to the body. Did you know that the vitamin D within you is stored in its inactive form. Until it is activated, it cannot be properly utilized. This means you could have plenty of vitamin D in its inactivated form but unless you have good reserves of a certain nutrient, the vitamin will stay inactivated and unavailable.
Are you replete?
You may think that you’ve had plenty of sunshine, eaten plenty of vitamin D rich foods and must be replete. If your doctor tests you for vitamin D deficiency your levels will show good because the test picks up on the inactive form. Continue reading Vitamin D Activation – a little known fact

On Saturday morning, January 21, Erica Littlewood Work gathered march volunteers into the downtown library meeting room to provide a quick briefing on crowd and traffic control. As she stepped back outside 20-minutes later she could see that the crowd had already surged far beyond the predicted 2,000. She faced a wall of people that had filled in between the library and City Hall.
In the weeks leading up to the Women’s March on Washington a local group of friends who had previously worked together as a Relay for Life team raising money for the American Cancer Society had set up a Facebook page on which they had received approximately 2,000 responses. No one could have predicted the final number of 10,000-plus for Bellingham’s historic march.
January 21, 2017, became the single largest day of protest in U.S. history. It was a day of unity, love, human power, and a tidal wave of support against the ideologies of hate, racism, and sexism that newly elected President Trump represents.
“It was stunning and overwhelming,” Erica said. “I was thrilled to see so many people come together to support one another.” After the November 2016 election, she and her friends shared feelings of depression and a loss of hope, but seeing thousands of people in Bellingham marching – and millions worldwide – was inspiring.
Missing from the march both nationally and locally was any single organization that could claim the event as their brainchild. Erica describes herself as non-political; however, in November she had completed a successful campaign as Chair of the Whatcom “EMS Saves Lives” funding levy.
“The march was not intended as an overtly political event,” she said. “It was about bringing people together to show support for marginalized groups. People asked a lot of questions when we were making signs, like ‘What can or can’t I say on my sign?’ But it was really a free-speech event with a range of issues that galvanized a cross-section of the community as never seen before.
Erica coordinated logistics, march permits, police relations, public works contacts, food trucks, and the medical team. Her career as a public educator with the South Whatcom Fire Authority gave her skills used for this event. Other team members coordinated speakers and the Community Connections Fair held after the march.
“The Fair was a great success,” Erica said. “It provided a way for people to connect with local groups that can take ideals forward beyond the march and fill in the gaps for people.”
Another friend and local teacher, Jackie Brown, coordinated speakers, musicians, poets, and interpreters.
“It took over my life for a few weeks,” Jackie said, “but I felt inspired by people rising up and being heard. The march showed me how diverse we are as women and how important it is to honor our diversity. One of our group is a ‘stay-at-home mom’ so she coordinated the volunteers. Another younger woman put together our Facebook page.” Now people are begging for more, Jackie says.
What’s next for Bellingham? The group will hold a public meeting 4 to 6 p.m. Sat., Feb. 4, at the WECU Education Center 511 E. Holly St. to reach out to people interested in continuing the work they began. Speeches given at the march will be published on their Facebook page at “Womxn’s March on Bellingham.”
Ordinary women like Erica and Jackie, who put aside their personal lives long enough to bring Bellingham into solidarity with an extraordinary national and worldwide movement of resistance, now need help to sustain the momentum.
Protests alone won’t be enough to fight Trump’s version of America. A powerful, unified resistance must be built, and these local women are providing that leadership.

Ontworpen, ontwikkeld en geproduceerd in Nederland. FabCreator CO2-laser snijmachines zijn ontworpen om door iedereen gebruikt te kunnen worden! Kom langs om de techniek te ontdekken!
When tools were inaccessible and out of budget, FabCreator founders Bonne Wilce and Saskia Smits decided that they would build their own. Through the power of maker communities, open source projects and hard work, they designed a concept for a new range of digital fabrication machines. Presenting them at the first Maker Fair Berlin in 2015, they received a warm response from fellow makers inquiring “I want one of those”! In fact, the response was so strong that from that point on they set out to transform themselves from makers to manufacturers.

The Xian H-6 is a Chinese-built strategic bomber that has been in service with the People’s Liberation Army Air Force since the 1970s. It is a license-built version of the Soviet Tupolev Tu-16 Badger bomber. The H-6 has undergone several upgrades and modifications over the years, evolving into different variants to suit various roles.
Key features and information about the Xian H-6 include:
The H-6 is derived from the Soviet Tu-16, a medium-range bomber. China acquired the license to produce the Tu-16 in the 1950s, and the first H-6s entered service in the early 1970s.
Over the years, the H-6 has seen several variants, with the most notable being the H-6D, H-6H, H-6G, and H-6K. The H-6K has undergone significant upgrades, including the integration of modern avionics and the capability to carry a variety of air-launched cruise missiles.
The H-6 is primarily a strategic bomber, capable of carrying a range of munitions, including nuclear and conventional bombs. Its range allows it to operate over long distances, making it suitable for strategic missions.
The H-6K variant represents a more modern version of the bomber, featuring improved avionics, communication systems, and the ability to carry newer long-range cruise missiles. This enhances its strategic capabilities and allows it to perform a wider range of missions.
The H-6K is known for its ability to carry and launch long-range cruise missiles. This extends its operational reach and allows it to engage targets at a distance without entering heavily defended airspace.
The H-6 plays a crucial role in China’s strategic deterrence capabilities. Its long-range capabilities make it suitable for various missions, including nuclear deterrence, maritime strike, and strategic reconnaissance.
The aircraft is designed for simulations and supports movement from the JSBSim Flight Dynamics Model (FDM) library. This vehicle comes with two movement types, each with its own vehicle Blueprint: JSBSim integrated and projectile based movement.
JSBSim is an open source, platform-independent, flight dynamics model in C++, and the movement system uses data from its FDM, which can be easily replaced, as described in the documentation below.
A sample showcase/demo Blueprint has been included with an environment map and User Interface (UI). When you “Play” the map, the UI includes camera presets, sliders, and buttons to demonstrate the key functionalities of the vehicle. From this map you can also start flying the vehicle.

Ocean Glow Day!
It was Ocean Glow Day recently! We invited families to come explore our underwater habitat for the first part of the morning. Take a peek at what the classroom transformation looked like!
Each family was greeted with some special items on their tables, including a glow in the dark coral reef with a few critters attached, and a rock fish that student created after listening to the story, Only One You.
Students shared their ocean animal research reports. This project was a fun collaboration with our art specialist, Mrs, Guay. After each student chose an animal to research, she helped them draw and paint their animals. I then used the app ChatterPix to make their animals talk! Look at how great these turned out!
I used glow in the dark puffy paint to outline the animal paintings so that they would glow a little more. There are so many great colors!
After the presentations, the families left the ocean, and we began our glow learning centers. Here is how I had them organized:
Station 1: Color by Code: Students read CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words and colored according to the code using glow in the dark crayons.
Station 2: Sea Creature Measurement: Students measured sea creatures with glow in the dark rulers and recorded their answers using different colored highlighters. The students couldn’t believe that highlighters glow in the dark!
Station 3: Write the Room: This is always a hit! Students took their clipboards, an orange highlighter, and a recording sheet, and walked around the classroom looking for pink sea creatures with images they had to spell. These orange highlighters worked perfectly!
Station 4: Geoboards: Another exciting station….here students used glow in the dark rubber bands and geoboards to make ocean creations!
Station 5: 3D Shapes: Students put their 3D knowledge to the test, as they named and identified the number of faces and vertices of 3D shapes. Then they got to build those 3D shapes using glow in the dark play dough!
Once we completed all five stations, students enjoyed creating ocean-themed glow in the dark perler beads!
I painted all the backdrops using neon paint and black plastic table cloths. Next year I plan to add a fun jelly backdrop as well as use Better than Paper bulletin board backing to recreate some of the backdrops that are tearing. I also hope to purchase another black light or two to make the classroom glow even more!
Ocean Glow Day is always such a fun, learning-filled day!

Set in the High Sierras encompassing three of the four corners of the town’s major intersection at Main and Minaret Streets, the design of a vibrant village centre was envisioned.
The planning incorporated resort condominium, luxury hotel, restaurant, and boutique retail/commercial uses. Formal arrangement of the buildings seek a diversity in scale and form unfolding and settling on the landscape around a series of courtyards, piazza’s and squares. The public/pedestrian environment takes precedent serving to enhance the interconnection of the sites and unifying the precinct within the town core.
At an advanced conceptual state, the buildings will be rich in compositional material and detail reflective of the great resort lodges of the Sierras. Detailed with robust and textured materials, they will be built in traditional craftsman ways establishing a link to the high mountain heritage of dwelling within nature and complimenting the natural experience serving to frame dramatic views of the surrounding Sierra landscape.

Biological Indicators for Sterilization
Biological indicators, often abbreviated as BIs, play a crucial role in various industries and applications. In this blog, we'll delve into what biological indicators are, their benefits, applications, types, and much more.
What are Biological Indicators?
Biological indicators, commonly known as BIs, are test systems used to monitor the effectiveness of sterilization processes. They contain living organisms (usually bacterial spores) that are highly resistant to sterilization methods. These indicators serve as a reliable means to verify whether sterilization conditions have been met.
What are the Benefits of Using Biological Indicators?
The use of biological indicators offers several significant benefits:
- Accuracy: BIs provide a direct measure of the sterilization process's effectiveness.
- Reliability: They offer a higher level of confidence compared to chemical indicators.
- Safety: BIs ensure the safety of patients and consumers by confirming the removal of harmful microorganisms.
- Compliance: They help organizations meet regulatory requirements and standards.
Where are Biological Indicators Used?
Biological indicators find applications in a range of industries and settings, including:
- Pharmaceuticals: BIs are crucial for validating the sterilization of drug manufacturing equipment.
- Medical Device Manufacturing: BIs are crucial for validating the sterilization of medical devices.
- Healthcare: Hospitals and clinics use BIs to ensure the sterility of surgical instruments and medical devices.
- Food Industry: Ensuring the safety of packaged and processed foods.
- Research Laboratories: Used for sterilizing lab equipment and culture media.
- Dental Clinics: To guarantee the sterility of dental instruments.
What are the Different Types of Biological Indicators?
There are several types of biological indicators, each designed for specific sterilization methods:
- Steam Biological Indicators: Used for steam sterilization (autoclaving).
- Ethylene Oxide (EO) Biological Indicators: Used for EO gas sterilization.
- Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor Biological Indicators: Suitable for hydrogen peroxide sterilization methods.
- Dry Heat Biological Indicators: Designed for dry heat sterilization.
What are the Most Used Biological Indicators?
Steam Biological Indicators are among the most commonly used BIs, primarily because autoclaves are widely employed for sterilization in various industries. These indicators contain spores of Geobacillus stearothermophilus.
Do Biological Indicators Expire?
Yes, biological indicators have a shelf life and expiration date. It's crucial to check the expiration date before use, as expired BIs may not provide accurate results.
Where to Buy Biological Indicators?
Biological indicators can be purchased from various suppliers, including laboratory equipment suppliers and online marketplaces. One reputable supplier of Biological Indicators is Mesa Labs.
Mesa Labs is a well-known provider of biological indicators and other critical monitoring solutions. They offer a wide range of BIs tailored to different sterilization methods, ensuring that you can find the right indicator for your specific needs. Mesa Labs is trusted in the industry for its quality and reliability.
When choosing a supplier for biological indicators, it's essential to consider factors such as product quality, certification, and customer support. Mesa Labs is a reputable choice that aligns with these criteria, making them a reliable source for your biological indicator requirements.

Today's topic in the Remarkable Speaking for Ordinary People Video Blog Series is How to Organize Your Speech So Your Audience Can Actually Use the Information.
This may seem totally elementary, but it is woefully disregarded way too often. I want to eliminate that possibility for you. Remarkable speeches are memorable because they have awesome content that people actually remember and use (plus other stuff we'll talk about throughout the series.)
And for those of you (like me) who like to scan a post before you decide to invest in the video (or the meat of the content), here are the hi-lights to help you decide if you want to spend the 3.5 minutes on the video itself:
- Too much information is overwhelming to your audience. People often give way too much information (thereby overwhelming the audience.) Let's don't have you do that, okay?
- Choose three main points (or chunks, as I like to call it, even though it doesn't seem all that appealing when I think about it) under ONE main idea (the title of your speech should reflect this one big focus area.)
- Add compelling stories, super-specific tips, and exciting statistics or data to each of those main points only as they serve to further illustrate and amplify those main points.
- Cover nothing beyond the main topic of this presentation and the three main points you have chosen. You will struggle to let go of “really great information” you want to share – let it go anyway. You will think the information you are leaving out is “really important” – leave it out anyway.
If you do all of this for real, you'll structure yourself a really powerful presentation (assuming the content is excellent quality.)
There's more in the video, including an example to illustrate structure. As always, I invite your feedback, thoughts, ideas and suggestions. In particular, I'm wondering about your experience of seeing really great presentations that you remember well. What did they do with the structure that helped you take it all in? Do you use strategies I don't mention here in your own presentations that we can all learn from?

Nowadays, the importance of bibliographic databases (DBs) has increased enormously, as they are the main providers of publication metadata and bibliometric indicators universally used both for research assessment practices and for performing daily tasks. Because the reliability of these tasks firstly depends on the data source, all users of the DBs should be able to choose the most suitable one.
Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus are the two main bibliographic DBs. The comprehensive evaluation of the DBs’ coverage is practically impossible without extensive bibliometric analyses or literature reviews, but most DBs users do not have bibliometric competence and/or are not willing to invest additional time for such evaluations.
Apart from that, the convenience of the DB’s interface, performance, provided impact indicators and additional tools may also influence the users’ choice. The main goal of this work is to provide all of the potential users with an all-inclusive description of the two main bibliographic DBs by gathering the findings that are presented in the most recent literature and information provided by the owners of the DBs at one place.
This overview should aid all stakeholders employing publication and citation data in selecting the most suitable DB.

The CRUSADE Radio Network CRUSADE Radio Network
The Mike Church Show-Radio Would Have Thwarted The Trump Assassination Attempt The KingDude
Audio Post Format TheKingDude
by Bradley J. Birzer, TIC co-editor
[Reposted with permission of The Imaginative Conservative, original article link is here] During the annual meeting of the Academy of Philosophy and Letters in Baltimore this summer, radio personality and [r]epublican man of virtue, Mike Church, called for a revival and remembrance of the thought of John Taylor of Caroline. Perhaps, Church persuasively argued, we might very well find some answers and solutions to our current problems in the work of this great man, this aristocrat of Virginian, this defender of order and liberty.
While Taylor (1753-1824) never embraced (or was possessed of, depending on one’s point of view) the eccentricities of his fellow Old Republican, John Randolph of Roanoke, he certainly defended much that we at TIC believe good with rigorous and elegant argumentation, steeped, unfortunately, in often rather stiff and poor prose.
