A tourist coach carrying 25 German passengers crashed near Linköping at lunchtime on Monday. Nine adolescents were taken to hospital.
Police received the alarm at 12pm on Monday that a coach carrying German tourists had crashed by the E4 motorway near Linköping. The coach had been travelling along road 34 from Motala when it left the road and vaulted into a ditch.
"Everyone had managed to get out of the coach by the time we arrived at the scene," said Per Ahlberg at Linköping rescue services to news agency TT.
Nine young German were taken to Linköping University Hospital and received treatment for minor injuries.
A new coach was called and collected the tourists that were not injured.
The cause of the accident remained unclear by 3pm. No other vehicle was involved.

This article explores the ways in which make-up is increasingly presented as a masculine product and a means to refine appearance with the aim of accessing and expressing conventional forms of masculine power. It is concerned with how the conflation of all the different practices of grooming, cosmetics and make-up in all kinds of writing on men makes it difficult to fully understand how they are really engaging with such possibilities. It therefore argues that those studying fashion and appearance need to improve the language on offer to unpick practices of grooming and cosmetic use in order for the implications of such practices to be fully appreciated. In doing so, it discusses the images and texts that market make-up to men, which contain complex messages about how men should feel about their bodies, how make-up has potential to assert their masculinity and what this masculinity should look like.

Early in the '66 model year, the 427ci L72 engine was rated 450 hp at 6,400 rpm. Not long after production began, the rating was lowered to 425 hp at 5,600 rpm. There were no changes to the engine, but Chevrolet's central office apparently realized that 450 hp would attract the attention of safety minded politicians and insurance companies. Also, there seemed to be an unwritten agreement between Ford, Chrysler, and GM that no engine would be rated over 425 hp no matter how powerful it was.
THE CURRENT OWNER CHASED THIS CAR FOR OVER 30 YEARS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO TREASURE THIS CAR!

Why is it important to participate in our family program?
Addiction and mental health disorders can cause unhealthy and ineffective relational dynamics in a household. Because Cypress West’s IOP model is developed for patients to live in the comfort of their own home, strong family relationships are imperative to assist clients through their treatment and recovery.
Cypress West IOP offers a family program that runs concurrent with our intensive outpatient treatment and outpatient treatment phases. Our family program is individualized to meet the specific needs and issues of our patient’s family, marriage, or partnership. The family program also assists family members in developing effective relational dynamics that support and enhance the changes being made in treatment. Family program consists of family or couples therapy sessions, as well as access to a family support group with other patient’s family members.
Why is participation in our Family Program important?
Cypress West encourages all clients and their families to participate in our Family Program. Our Family Program consists of family and/or couples therapy sessions during treatment, as well as ongoing family support groups for the family members of our clients.
Primary therapists work with clients and their families to determine the appropriate time to schedule and conduct family therapy sessions. Scheduling and frequency is individualized to each client and their particular needs and experiences while in treatment.
The family support group meets on a regular basis continuously throughout treatment and is meant to be a source of support and collaboration with other clients’ parents, spouses and loved ones.
Addiction greatly impacts our clients’ families and meaningful relationships. When clients enter into recovery, their families also enter into recovery. Unhealthy relational dynamics developed during active addiction will not go away immediately because clients have stopped abusing substances. The damaged trust, and jeopardized intimacy needs healing and work to be restored. Our Family Program is designed to help facilitate the healing process.
Because our clinical model is an Intensive Outpatient model where our clients will likely be living with their families and spouses. It is important that they establish a home environment that is conducive to the change process clients will be going through in treatment. Our Family Program will assist families in identifying, establishing, and enforcing healthy boundaries and expectations at home so our clients may maximize their treatment experience.

For those of you that know me well must be aware that I LOVE a good drink – gin being my poison of choice. However, I must confess, the nuances of whisky, scotch and bourbon have always eluded me – that was until the other night.
In my quest to lead a truly artful life – to be verse in a wide variety of fabulous things – Tedd and I attended a very regal and luxe dinner which included a whisky tasting for the launch of Chivas Ultis, a blended malt Scotch Whisky, from the House of Chivas Regal.
Chivas hosted leading and influential style, food and entertainment industry bloggers, press and restaurant entrepreneurs from around South Florida to be the first to experience Chivas Ultis. Tucked away in an intimate wine room and private dining space at the chic Marion Restaurant in Brickell, Miami, Chivas brand ambassador, Alex Thaler, dazzled guests with his informative and very entertaining presentation on the Art of Drinking Whisky.
I went into this event with very little confidence about drinking whisky, a “fake it until you make it” attitude, but left the enchanting evening feeling like a tasting pro.
I learned that there is an art to drinking whisky – no drinking games here – that enables whisky connoisseurs to experience a higher level of appreciation and enjoyment while sipping their drink.
So, go pour yourself a nice glass of Chivas whisky and follow along with me as we enjoy the full body and plethora aromas each sip has to offer.
Continuing to hold the glass to the light, roll the whisky around the glass and observe its legs – drips that run down the side of the glass. This technique will show you its body, oils and age – sounds so sensual. The quicker the run of the leg it is presumed the younger and lighter the end product as opposed to longer legs a heavier and older body – no comment on that one!
The above two steps are very similar to wine tastings – which I am a pro at – so I had some familiarity of these processes. But how Alex taught us to enjoy the bouquet of whisky was a whole new experience.
Due to the high alcohol content of whisky, one does not just lift the glass right up to your nose and inhale; this will only result in a big waft of alcohol. For a fully enriched sense of the whisky bouquet, try this new technique. Rest the glass against your chin, just under your lower lip. But, do not sip! Simply tilt the glass slightly to your nose, then inhale the rich scents in through your nose allowing different notes the whisky to develop. Go ahead and take another stab at it, but first swirl it around in the glass and then take a second or third sniff for a deeper enhancement of the notes.
Now comes the best part . . . take a sip! But don’t just simply gulp down your first swig because there is a clever trick you must experience. Again, due to the high alcohol content, the first sip will most likely have a bit of a bite to it – especially if you are not a whisky aficionado. Instead, swirl the first sip in your mouth to coat the walls of your mouth and surrounding taste buds with the oils, or essence of the whisky. Each sip after the coating will allow you to fully enjoy the many unique layers the individual whisky brands take on during its aging process.
For another sensational enjoyment and completely different flavor profile, dilute your whisky with a bit of water or piece of crystal clear and purity free ice, for perfectly timed dilution, to decrease the alcohol content and enjoy an entirely different bouquet.
Thank you to Chivas for taking the Traberts on this whisky tasting journey. I now feel that I can hold my head up high, should future conversations stray into the whisky arena, with confidence that I know how a proper tasting should take place. Cheers everyone!

In a bid to make life easier and more convenient, Xiaomi has made amends by launching a latest technology through which a 4,000mAh battery can be charged from empty to full in mere 17 minutes. Staggering, isn’t it? This move will definitely entice other mobile manufacturers to come up with the same notion in order to compete with Xiaomi’s latest efforts.
According to the report of Liliputing, the President of Xiaomi Lin Bin recently shared a video in which he gave a demo as how the company’s afresh 100 watt fast charging technology can recharge a 4,000mAh battery from none to full in just 17 minutes. As per Phone Radar, the technology is known as Super Charge Turbo.
How does Xiaomi do it?
The company manages to generate a heat by pumping as many as 100 watts of charge into a 4,000mAh phone battery. As a result, this will provide a lot of ease to millions of smartphone users. Moreover, it’s time to cease putting your phone on charge before going to bed and unplugging it in the morning.
It is pertinent to mention that there are numerous smartphone users who do not totally wait for their batteries to be drained. Subsequently, through Super Charge Turbo, a battery can be charged to full within 10 minutes of plugging depending on the current status of the battery. The only hitch is that the usage will further increase among the smartphone users as the time to charge will decline which will essentially result in more usage. Ultimately, the life of the battery can be depreciated quickly and there might be chances of a new battery.
It is evident that Xiaomi is looking forward to launch Super Charge Turbo and it’s going to be compatible with Mi 9 and Mi MIX 3 5G. Will Xiaomi launch a similar turbo for tablets and laptops? Let’s wait and watch!

No Matter the Topic, it's All About Boog: Time flies when you're on the run.
Time flies when you're on the run.
The last month has been a mixture of emotions for me. I have shifted from joyful and thankful to grief and emptiness. The term "bittersweet" comes to mind. Monday was Boog's fifth birthday and before you think I'm an awful mother for feeling anything but joy, please let me explain.
When Boog was around two he had already been diagnosed with Autism and was beginning his first school to work on occupational therapy, circle time, table work and hopefully speech. There was a lot of fear at that time, but also a lot of hope for the future. Boog started full time school two months after his second birthday. Receiving so many hours of intense early intervention is the only method that has proven to help children with Autism.
I don't remember when, but at some point people began asking when I would give Boog a sibling. It was a difficult question to answer. I really wish no one had even asked me that, but I understand why they did. I am an only child with no real extended family. My parents are now in their 60's and it terrifies me that one day I will be alone. An orphan with no one to call and reminisce about how Mom and Dad did this or said that. I never wanted that for Boog. I didn't want him to ever be alone. Then I worried about him needing a neurotypical sibling to be there to help him if he needed it and I was no longer there.
Genetic testing told us that we had a high chance of having another child with Autism. Boog is in the range of in between mild and moderate Autism. If I had another child, there was a great risk of having a child with severe Autism. I knew that situation would leave one child with the short end of the stick as I'm already spread so very thin now. So husband and I talked a bit about adoption. It seemed like the logical answer. We would be helping to give a child a warm and loving home, Boog a playmate for peer-to-peer interaction, someone who would be there if he needed in the future, and I might possibly have the little girl I sometimes dreamed of. My favorite color is and always has been pink and I can't pass by the childrens' clothing section without looking at all the glittery dresses, ballerina skirts, sequined shoes and princess dolls.
Husband and I decided to give everything a few years and then evaluate the situation at that time. It was nice because I didn't have to worry about it then. I knew we had time and focused on the present. Until the present was this month. You see, we decided to reevaluate when Boog turned five.
I remember hoping he would be speaking by then, maybe I would be working again and we wouldn't always be so worried about money like we are now. There were even two adopted beautiful little girls at Boog's school that were both asian and adopted. I learned that in some countries it is easier to adopt children with special needs. Some of those children simply need hearing aids or cochlear implants to live a completely normal life. Seeing these little girls becoming more and more used to their new lives and learning speech was so beautiful. One little girl in particular stands out because at one of the school plays she kept yelling "There's my mommy!!" on the stage to her friends when they were supposed to be quiet. It was beyond adorable.
In a way I'm grieving again this month. I should be used to grief by now. I grieved when I had an early miscarriage before becoming pregnant wig Boog. I grieved when I knew my son was different and all the hopes I originally had for him weren't going to happen. I grieved when the geneticist told us the odds of conceiving a neurotypical child were so slim. I grieve that my son isn't speaking at five when I had so much hope he would be. And I grieve for the daughter I will never have.
At the same time, the logical part of my brain tells me that I have so very much to be thankful for. I have my parents and we're very close. I will have been married ten years his upcoming February to a man I still consider my best friend. We have a home and food on the table. And most importantly, I have a happy and healthy five year old son that is absolutely crazy about his Mommy.
The news story below inspired me to write this post. I know that I may be sad, but these parents would give almost anything to have a son that just turned five. I allow myself to grieve, but also have to remember to appreciate the gifts God has given me. And I am thankful.

Kho Kho is an Indian game that is often played at HEAL children’s Village.
To win the game a team has to tag all the opponents in the shortest time possible. The game is played on a rectangular pitch which is usually 29 meters long and 16 meters wide.
A kho kho team consists of 12 players but only 9 can take the field. A match consists of two innings. each innings consists of chasing and running for nine minutes each.
One team (chasers) sits/kneels in the middle of the court, in a row, with ajacent members facing opposite directions. The other team (dodgers) play in batches of three. The chasers can only run in one direction and cannot cut across the sitters. The dodgers can run anywhere and can go inbetween the sitters. The chaser has to run around the entire row to reach the other side.The chaser can pass the chasing job onto a sitter whose back is facing the chaser as he/she is running. To do this the chaser touches the back of the sitter and shouts “kho” which signifies the change of chaser.
The objective of the game is for the chasers to tag all the oponents in the shortest time possible.
Lokesh and Ravi Teja report on Volley Ball.
Volley Ball is played alot at HEAL Children’s Village by both the boys and the girls.
Volleyball is a complex game of simple skills. The ball is spiked from up to 60 cm above the height of a basketball hoop (about 3.65 metres) and takes fractions of a second to travel from the spiked to the receiver. That means the receiver must assess incoming angle, decide where to pass the ball and then control their pass in the blink of an eye. A purely rebound sport (you can’t hold the ball), volleyball is a game of constant motion.
Volleyball has developed into a very specialised sport. Most teams will include in their starting line-up a setter, two centre blockers, two receiver-hitters and a universal spiker. Only certain players will be involved with service reception. Players will also have specialist positions for attack and defence. Substitutions are allowed during the game.
Since 1998, volleyball bas been using a new scoring system. Teams scored a point on every rally Point System), regardless of which team served. Formerly, a team could only win a point if it served the ball. Winning the serve back from the opposition was known as a side-out.
Matches are played best of five sets. The first four sets are played to 25 points, with the final set being played to 15 points. A team must win a set by two points. There is no ceiling, so a set continues until one of the teams gains a two-point advantage. Previously, all sets were to 15 points, with the first four sets having a ceiling of 17 and the final set requiring at least a two-point winning advantage.
In 1998, the FIVB introduced a new specialist role: the libero. This player wears a different coloured uniform from the rest of the team and can be substituted in backcourt for any player on the team. The libero cannot serve, spike the ball over the net or rotate into the front-line positions, but plays a vital role for the team in serve reception and backcourt defence. There must be at least one point played between a libero substituting off for a player and going back on the court for another player – hence he/she cannot be on the court for the whole game. The libero has added an extra dimension to backcourt defence, improving the reception of teams, lengthening the rallies and giving a vital role to shorter players.
Volleyball, an Olympic team sport, is the second most popular sport in the world today. There are over 800 million volleyball players worldwide.
In 1895, William G Morgan, a physical education director at the Holyoke, Massachusettes YMCA, created a game called Mignonette, as a low contact indoor sport. After observing the first game, Alfred Halstead, renamed the game Volleyball due to the volleying nature of the game. Numerous other variations of Volleyball have developed such as Beach Volleyball, Footvolley, Hoover ball, and Newcomb. Both Men’s and Women’s Leagues are popular, and there are many clubs and tournaments throughout the year in the US.
A Volleyball team is composed of between 6-8 players on a team, and a match is played between two teams with an equal number of players. A volleyball court is 60 feet long and 30 feet wide, divided into two 30 30 ft halves, by a 40-inch wide net, placed so that the top of the net is about eight feet above the centre of the court. The first team to score 25 points (and be two points ahead) is awarded the set. Matches are best-of-five sets or best-of-three sets.
Cricket is a very popular game in India. It is played at HEAL alot.
Cricket is a bat and ball game played between two teams of 11 players each on a field at the centre of which is a rectangular 22-yard long pitch. Each team takes its turn to bat, attempting to score runs, while the other team fields. Each turn is known as an innings.
In professional cricket the length of a game ranges from 20 overs per side to Test cricket played over five days. The Laws of Cricket are maintained by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) with additional Standard Playing Conditions for Test matches and One Day Internationals.
Cricket was first played in southern England in the 16th century. By the end of the 18th century, it had developed to be the national game of England. The expansion of the British Empire led to cricket being played overseas and by the mid-19th century the first international match was held. ICC, the game’s governing body, has 10 full members. The game is most popular in Australasia, England, the Indian Subcontinent, the West Indies and Southern Africa.
HEAL Paradise recently constructed two pitches, one for girls and one for boys.
Though all the large stones and surface stones had been removed the surface was still quite bumpy and covered with small stones. Lots of people were cutting their knees and a quite a bit of blood was being spilt.
So the arriival of six lorry loads of soft surface soild was a great sight to see. Workers soon spread the soft red soil across the surface of the pitch and a big yellow roller flattened it.
The boys remarked out the pitches and erected goals on both.
We now have a good soft surface to play on so our football skills should greatly improve and out injury rate decline. Maybe we will be able to get grass to grow on the pitch. For this to happen we will have to extend the irrigation. That will be a project for later in the year.
Following the donation of footballs and football kit by Liverpool Football Club, the children of Heal all participated in the preparation and construction of two junior football pitches- one for girls and one for boys.
All the children in the school gave up their playtime on two successive afternoons, to clear the ground of large stones. They used their initiative to find ingenious ways of extracting the embedded stones! Fifteen large sacks were filled. Four of the older boys used wheelbarrows to remove the sacks. The stones were later reused as part of the foundations for the stage in the performance area, which is currently under construction.
The pitches were marked using string and white powder. The children erected goalposts which had been constructed from plastic piping. As soon as the goals were raised, the children enthusiastically took part in a football match. The girls initially had reservations but were soon just as enthusiastic as the boys. Most children wore flip flops or sandals and this highlighted the need to provide suitable footwear. The success of this endeavour has prompted the purchasing of sport shoes for all the children as well as track suit bottoms for the girls.
The rapid development of football skills is eagerly anticipated.

Some of the best business people appear to be master negotiators almost by instinct. For the rest of us, however, it comes down to using a few simple techniques.
Setting Target and Walking Points – your Target Point is the realistic outcome that would make you really pleased. Your Walking Point is when the numbers no longer make sense for you, the money doesn’t add up or the deal is just plain counter productive for you because it offers no business advantage whatsoever.
Get in first. Seize the initiative and strike a positive note by laying out your position from the outset. This establishes the negotiations as having to be worked out from your position not that of the other party's.
Do your homework. If you’re not prepared with evidence and numbers to back up what you say, you can’t hope to come out well.
Be nice. What kind of style you adopt is a personal choice, but being precise about what you say, being business-like and polite at all times are rules that you should never deviate from.
Adapt your style – beforehand and during negotiations. Everyone will develop their own approach to negotiating and if you face a good negotiator they may well vary their style as the proceedings go on. But don’t negotiate with someone who is trying to bully either by being patronising or in any way aggressive. A deal is about both sides reaching common ground, otherwise it’s not a deal at all and you’re probably wasting your time.
See things from the other’s side. It’s vital to work out what the other side in the negotiations is after, what is most important to them, how much do they need to do a deal, and where you estimate their own bottom line (or Walking Point) is.
Realise what the other side can’t deliver. Some areas may simply be non-negotiable.
Give way. The art of negotiation is really all about giving up something to the other party that feels of value to them, but has as little value as possible to you.
Be happy. If you want to build a business relationship with the other party, rather than just conduct a one-off piece of business, then it’s vital to ensure that you and they are happy with the outcome of the deal.
Close the deal fast. Make sure the other party is happy with the deal, but also, when you have reached common ground and you are happy with the agreement, move fast to pin it down and finally agree it.

Austin White, born and raised on the outskirts of Memphis, Tennessee, is an artist and designer currently studying at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Just before his sophomore year of high school, White’s father was relocated which brought them to Fort Wayne where White attended and graduated from Canterbury High School in 2014. Fort Wayne brought him a handful of opportunities as he was able to work closely with Julie Wall Toles in her local printmaking shop, Hedgehog Press. In Chicago he is primarily studying Visual Communication Design and also involves himself greatly in the Printmedia Department. At only twenty years old, White has already built a diverse portfolio of work which bases itself on themes of sexuality, gender, and competition among many more. He will be interning this summer with a letterpress studio in Humboldt Park, Chicago to continue his education and artistic exploration.

Spat between Manila and Beijing over reclamation of land in South China Sea to be on Aquino's agenda during Japan visit.
Manila, Philippines - The ongoing dispute between the Philippines and China over territories in the South China Sea will be on President Benigno Aquino's agenda in his state visit to Japan, a spokesman of the Filipino leader has announced.
Aquino is set to fly to Tokyo on Tuesday for a four-day visit, which includes bilateral talks with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and a meeting with Japan's royal family.
"The reclamation activity is a current issue, and it's a shared issue between our country as well as one of our strategic partners, which is Japan," Abigail Valte, a spokesman of Aquino, said in an interview with a local radio station late on Monday.
"They will discuss it for sure. But we still don't know what direction the discussion would go."
Valte was referring to the ongoing reclamation of land and reported construction of a runway in the Spratly Islands, which the Philippines asked China to stop.
Last Thursday, Philippine Defence Secretary Voltaire Gazmin had announced that during Aquino's visit to Japan, officials from both countries would discuss the "probability of transferring military equipment" to Manila.
The details of the agreement are still being "ironed out", Gazmin said, adding that the exchange could include "exchange of technology, exchange of personnel, and eventually transfer of assets and equipment".
Last week, the Philippine foreign ministry also said that although Manila and Tokyo are "not defence allies", the two countries expect defence cooperation "to be enhanced" during Aquino's visit.
Japan invaded the Philippines during World War II. But following the war, the two countries have become allies, and Tokyo remains one of Manila's biggest trading partners and financial aid donors.
In 2011, Aquino and then Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda announced a "strategic alliance", which also covers political and security aspects, including "cooperation in the field of maritime affairs".
Japan also has conflicting maritime claims with its regional rival China over Senkaku, or Diaoyu in the East Sea. Last April, Abe proposed new legislation allowing Japan to supply the US military in the South China Sea, also referred to by Manila as the West Philippine Sea.
While Japan and the US have no territorial claims in the disputed South China Sea waters, both have strategic interests in the area, which sees $5 trillion in maritime trade annually.
On Saturday at a security summit in Singapore, US Defence Secretary Ashton Carter condemned China's reclamation in the disputed area, and called for an "immediate and lasting halt" of its activities there.
China's Admiral Sun Jianguo, however, dismissed the criticism saying, "there is no reason for people to play up this issue".
Aside from China and the Philippines, other Southeast Asian countries including Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei, and Taiwan also claim parts of the Spratlys.

I know I haven’t been around much but I’ve been busy with wedding planning, etc. The last two weeks have been the most fun I’ve had during the entire wedding-planning process. It was shower time!
The first shower was here in Bentonville and was given by my maid of honor. It was HOT! No, seriously, I mean the weather, LOL. It was an outdoor shower and it happened to be on the first day of like 105-degree heat. I’m not complaining though, it just made it even more wonderful that people still made the time to come. Some even came from TULSA!
We played a game or two, including something that I don’t really consider a game. It was actually one of the coolest ideas I’ve ever seen in regards to showers. The hostess had each guest write a message to John and me and seal it in an envelope with directions of when the message is to be opened. Some messages can be opened whenever we wish, others are more well, curious. Let’s just say I’m most curious what someone wanted to tell us after the bachelor party and another person on our two-year anniversary!
Anyways, here is the cake from that shower. I’ve got lots of pictures but thought pictures of me opening countless gifts would get old so I’m just putting in the cakes. They were all unique! This one has all three of my colors and I call it the Mardis Gras cake! Love it!
The next two showers were this last weekend and both were in Wichita. The first was Friday night at my aunt’s house. It was for all the family and boy did they turn out! It was so cool to see relatives that I swear I haven’t seen in at least five years. We didn’t play games and that was fine. We just spent time talking to family and enjoying ourselves. Now this cake has my favorite flower on it, which is going to be the primary flower at our wedding (if I ever figure out how to arrange the darn things). I included a shot that has both John and me in it so you can check out John’s t-shirt. Yes, that’s the man I’m going to marry LOL. I didn’t realize the impact of what he was wearing until we were halfway to Wichita! In case you can’t see it, it’s a t-shirt that says “Most of the people that drive me nuts are in my family!” Well, he wore this on purpose to a family shower … just to be funny! Fortunately my family has a sense of humor LOL.
The third and final shower was at my home church and it was more like a reception. It was given by some old family friends who were more than gracious to accommodate our growing guest list! It was open house and I would guess about 40 people showed up, if not more! It was so wonderful to see people that I grew up around and some who I haven’t seen in probably 10 years. For this one I took a shot of the entire table. The cake was real simple but good. It was designed for easy cutting and had individual decorations on each piece.
Well that’s our three showers. A few thoughts about all three … We did something that most couples don’t do, we had a couples shower for all three of our events! I know this sounds like I was just trying to torture John but I had a real reason for requesting this at all the showers. For one, most people (I’d say 75 percent) have not met John. There’s lots of people in my life who I care about and I wanted them to meet him. The other reason is actually because of my friends. Over the years I’ve had lots of guy friends who I wanted to include in the invitations and it seemed silly to leave them out just because they are guys.
The next thing that was cool about all three was the gifts. To me the point of having these WASN’T just about getting gifts but it sure was a perk! As my family said, it’s better than Christmas because we didn’t have to share the spotlight with anyone! But we got most of the items from our registry … some items we got several times! We also got a nice assortment of gifts that weren’t on the registry and all will be cherished.
The third thought I had about all three is how blessed we are to have people care that much. It was so wonderful that people could take time from their busy lives to come celebrate with us. The many notes in cards, kind words and other expressions of love we’ve received has been so touching. At the risk of being corny, I truly felt showered with love.
How wonderful! All of my showers were couple showers too, all except one. That one was the girls from work who threw a personal shower filled with pretty things for the honeymoon!
I wish all the joy and happiness this life can offer. I know you both will be very happy together!

THE journey continues. Another round of the qualifiers has been negociated thanks in no small part to Emmet Bolton’s 66th minute goal. For the second time in championship 2011 Kildare accounted for Meath, this time in their own back yard and this time the Lilies dumped the Royals out for good.
In a pulsating encounter Kieran McGeeney’s side were neck in neck with Meath heading in to the final ten minutes. Indeed only two points seperated the sides before wing back Bolton bounded forward and sent the ball to the net.
With only four minutes of normal time remaining the Royals were dead and buried and the Lilies marched on to a meeting with beaten Ulster finalist Derry this weekend.
Boss Kieran McGeeney had to plan without the services of Hughie Lynch, who suffered a knee injury in training in the run up to last Saturday’s game. In came Daryl Flynn and what a return the Moorefield man made. Flynn had been out of action since may due to an ankle injury but there was no sign of cobwebs, instead Flynn slotted right back in and gave a towering performance in the middle.
Management kept faith with the same full forward line that reaked havoc against Laois the previous week, while Bolton returned to the starting line up after missing the second round with a hamstring injury.
The Eadestown man was the Lilies’ star performer on the day and had it not been for his point and a goal in the final ten minutes perhaps Meath would have went on to face Derry on Saturday.
Mick Foley, was another star man. Indeed the Athy player is perhaps the Lilies’ most consistant performer all year and he certainly kept 2010 All Star nominee Graham Reilly quiet in Pairc Tailtenn last weekend.
Kildare fell behind early on when Meath leading scorer Cian Ward knocked over a free from 45 metres out but it was a shortlived lead. A ball in from Daryl Flynn picked out Tomas O’Connor, who rose with Meath full back Kevin Reilly and it was the latter who was adjuged to have fouled the Clane man and a penalty was awarded. For the second week on the trot Johnny Doyle was handed the responsibility of tucking away the penalty and that’s excatly what he did to give his side a 1-0 to 0-1 advantage. Parity was restored by the seventh minute when firstly Cian Ward struck over from the right and Meath’s third point came from captain Seamus Kenny to leave the score at 0-3 to 1-0.
The home side nudged in front on the ten minute mark when a long ball in from Joe Sheridan picked out Stephen Bray and the Navan O’Mahony’s man split the posts to give his side a one point lead.
The Lilies could have had a goal, one of numerous goal chances, in the 16th minute when Eamonn Callaghan was played through by Andrew McLoughlin but the Naas player elected to take his point and tie up this encounter once again.
Paudie O’Neill and Morgan O’Flaherty both raised flags to give Kildare a 1-3 to 0-4 advantage with only eight minutes of the opening half remaining but the deficit was reduced when, at the other end, Cian Ward converted a 45 metre kick.
Before the break Fionn Dowling pointed, as did substitute James Kavanagh, which was a beauty of a point, before Doyle converted a free to give the Lilies a 1-6 to 0-7 interval lead.
As always Kildare put in a sterling showing in the second period despite incessant pressure from the home side. McGeeney’s men drew first blood when Hugh McGrillen got forward to slot the ball over the bar from the right but it was cancelled out by a free at the other end from Cian Ward.
Indeed the Wolfe Tones’ man reduced the deficit to just one when he converted a 45 but a point from Doyle (free) left the score at 1-8 to 0-9 after 44 minutes.
By the 47th minute the sides were level thank to scores from Shane O’Rourke and Seamus Kenny as the atmosphere heightened at the Navan venue.
Another goal chance presented itself to the Lilies in the 51st minute when Eamonn Callaghan found Bolton but the Eadestown man took his point to give Kildare a slender lead once more but a converted free from Ward left the sides level again with 15 minutes left on the clock.
Bolton, whose marker Seamus Kenny had gone off due to a blood injury, again got forward to score Kildare’s tenth point of the evening and when Ronan Sweeney did likewise a minute later Kildare were up by two (1-11 to 0-12).
Then came the game’s most important score. Emmet Bolton palmed the ball passed the hapless Brendan Murphy in goal after assistance from Kavanagh and O’Connor and it gave Kildare a five point lead with only four minutes remaining.
Meath had time for two further points but they fell short and made their exit. McGeeney’s men, on the other hand, roll on to the fourth and final round of the qualifier.
Scorers: Kildare, Emmet Bolton 1-2, Johnny Doyle 1-2 (2f), Hugh McGrillen 0-1, Morgan O’Flaherty 0-1, Padraig O’Neill 0-1, Eamonn Callaghan 0-1, Fionn Dowling 0-1, James Kavanagh 0-1, Ronan Sweeney 0-1. Meath, Cian Ward 0-8 (5f 2 ‘45’), Stephen Bray 0-2, Seamus Kenny 0-2, Shane O’Rourke 0-1, Brian Farrell 0-1 (1f).
Shane Connolly; Andrew McLoughlin, Mick Foley, Hugh McGrillen; Gary White, Morgan O’Flaherty, Emmet Bolton; Johnny Doyle, Daryl Flynn; Padraig O’Neill, Eoghan O’Flaherty, Eamonn Callaghan; Rob Kelly, Tomas O’Connor, Fionn Dowling.

A bad mission trip teammate gets frustrated easily when things don't go as planned. If a plane flight gets delayed, they throw a fit. If they don't have vegetarian options at dinner, they refuse to eat at all. A bad mission trip teammate is obstinate and stubborn.
On the other hand, a good mission trip teammate is flexible and understands that not everything will go as planned. A flexible teammate knows that they will be pushed out of their comfort zone during the trip, and they are willing to roll with the new experiences. If you want to be a good mission trip teammate, embrace flexibility.
The meal cart is rolling down the isle during your eight-hour flight overseas. You've had your heart set on their chicken finger meal for half an hour. The flight attendant finally gets you to and says, “Unfortunately, we only have vegetarian lasagna left.” How do you respond?
Little situations like this can have a big impact on your team's overall culture. A bad mission trip teammate is constantly bringing down everyone around them with their complaining attitude. If you want to be a good mission trip teammate, do your best to practice gratefulness in every situation, even when things don't go exactly how you hope.
You might have a teammate or two who struggle throughout your mission trip. Maybe she misses home and is having a difficult time adjusting to the new culture. Maybe he's not doing a very good job painting the outside of the local schoolhouse.
Instead of snickering and laughing at him or her, a good teammate will reach out and offer to help. Encouraging a teammate who is facing a personal challenge—instead of gossiping about their problem behind their back—is what a good mission trip teammate does and goes a long way in maintaining a healthy team culture.
The quickest way to be a bad teammate is to be sarcastic the whole time. Even one sarcastic comment can create tension and build barriers among teammates. You might be sarcastic with your friends and family at home. However, a new culture in a new country with new friends and new experiences is not the place for sarcasm.
With so many new elements coming together during a mission trip, a good teammate approaches everyone around him or her with kindness. Sarcasm is a difficult habit to break! But, replacing a sarcastic comment with a kind comment can be the difference between having a strong, bonded team and a divided team.
A bad mission trip teammate can be summed up in one word: entitled. An entitled teammate thinks they deserve that chicken finger meal on the plane. They think they have the right to snicker at the teammate who's not doing a good job painting the schoolhouse.
On the other hand, a good mission trip teammate can be summed up with this word: gracious. A grace-filled person understands that flights get delayed, and that God is in control of the timing. They know that a sarcastic joke isn't worth possibly hurting someone's feelings.
If you want to be a good mission trip teammate, the most important thing you can do is embrace grace.

For a chainsaw carver, having the appropriate tools can mean the difference between a winning sculpture and a larger pile of fire wood. LogIQ Tools was started to easily supply tools and tips for chainsaw carvers. They contacted me to develop branding that would tell their story and connect to their customers. They also needed an e-commerce website that would be user-friendly and easy to manage.
The branding that I designed helps to convey the company’s story and allows them to quickly connect to customers. Brand elements include logo, colors, type and imagery. A branding style guide helps to ensure that all customer touch points maintain that LogIQ Tools identity.
For the website, I designed a layout that would both tell the LogIQ Tool story and make it easy for customers to browse and search for products. Rugged shop imagery and a clean layout show the vision for the company while presenting a site that is easy to navigate.
This project has unfortunately been put on hold, but will hopefully be completed in the future.

The Thunderbirds in action. However, most photographs seek to get real close to the action - as I would normally attempt to do. On this occasion, I thought I would try something different by showing the opposite effect. This photo makes a great wallpaper shot on my computer! No PS, not even cropped!

Hey there, Vaughn Bullard here! In every WordPress site, you’re gonna probably have to access your files via FTP, or File Transfer Protocol. Think of it as a way to get in underneath the file system of your server and allows you to upload and download files without ever having to touch your publicly facing WordPress site.
This is important because while WordPress sites are easy to use, they are not always the fastest Ferraris in the garage. Because of these inefficiencies, it is not favorable to use your WordPress site to upload media such as videos, images and other large content. That’s why we use FTP.
You’re going to need an FTP client in order to do this. There are tons of clients out there for free, trialware and for cost. I won’t tell you which one to use as it depends on your operating system and budget. I am a die-hard Mac fan myself and am quite a fan of my FTP client called Captain FTP. It’s even like 2 or 3 versions behind. HEY! Don’t judge me! I love it!
FTP clients pretty much all work the same. You have to first connect to a remote host, generally the server of your WordPress of your server. You’ll need your remote host name, username and password to connect.
We’re going to connect to my remote demonstration server. Once it is connected, you will see a remote directory and a local directory side by side.
You can then upload and download files to the server or to your computer by simply dragging folders or files in either direction. Here we’re going to go to the wp-content/uploads directory.
We’re going to drag it from our remote server and onto my Desktop directory. It’ll take a little time to think about what it’s gonna do and then it’ll take a few moments to download the files I’ve selected to my Desktop. Now that it’s complete, I can just check out my Desktop and see? The files have downloaded.
TIP: If you have large plugins you want to upload, using FTP this is the best way to do it!
Also, using FTP is a quick and easy way to backup all your files from your WordPress site! Do it and do it quite often.
That’s just how easy it is folks! For more info on doing other cool things with WordPress, check out my other WordPress Lessons on eHow.com and check out Build.Automate’s innovative WordPress plugins at www.buildautomate.com .

REMEMBERING THE OLD LANDMARKS- WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR US!
They built a memorial of 12 stones to remember what mighty works God had done for them.
After Moses’ death, God used Joshua to lead His people onward to conquer Jericho. God showed His miracle-working power by stopping the waters of the Jordan River so that they all passed over on dry ground!
REMEMBER WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR YOU! So a memorial and landmark was built to be a ‘sign’ to tell their children and their children’s children about God’s mighty deliverance and great love for His people!
REMEMBER WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR YOU!
This Christian Hawaiian church was built in 1942, over 70 years ago, in Hau’ula on the northeast coast of O’ahu, Hawaii. I saw it recently when we went on a family picnic to the other side of the island. It is easily driven by and missed in Hau’ula, so you have to be looking for it. It is said to be in need of major repairs. As a young child I remember my dad driving us out in the country to this tiny church that seats 80 people. Back then we dressed our best to go to God’s house! My dad stood tall and straight as I heard him sing ‘Onward Christian Soldiers‘ and other hymns. The love of God was planted in my heart at a young age by godly parents. I will always remember this landmark in my life! Praise God!

My husband pastors in an old church building. Everything about it is ancient, including the old curved pews and homemade offering boxes. Recently we painted the exterior and removed an old light fixture that was about to become a fire hazard, the wiring was so frayed and worn.
I love the way it smells like an old church. It seems like a place that has a certain calm inside it because of saints who went before. Sometimes we sing “Onward Christian Soldiers”, too. And there is one young man I know, for sure, will always remember it’s quaint interior for the reason that you mentioned, that he gave up his own life for a life of liberty in Christ. We’ve had several re-dedications, too, It is a lovely old place to start over!
The people are quite aware of the gift it is, which is good, as they agree readily to taking good care of it. They also are aware of the gift it is to have a plain, true Christian atmosphere in which to worship and grow, and seem very sweetly dedicated to it.

One misconception about volunteering is that it is synonymous with "nonprofit organizations." In fact, a huge proportion of volunteers work in government or public agencies and institutions (at local, state/provincial, and national levels): public schools, libraries, parks, prisons, health clinics, and much more. Good volunteer management practices apply completely to the public sector, so all the materials in this library can be of help. This section provides resources specific to government agencies.

That's right, Chandra is back! A lot of people consider this Chandra to be the most playable so many people are happy about this. Others wish that we would get new Planeswalkers all around, but we just got her and the community likes her. Many people liked the other Garruk, but due to the storyline shift, there will be no more of Garruk, Caller of Beasts.
The next card is a spoiler that Star City Games got, which is the last Soul from the six card cycle: Soul of Theros. As with the others, we get a 6/6 for six mana and it has Vigilance, a white ability. We also get two activated abilities, one of which is for the battlefield, the other is for the graveyard. This ability is absolutely amazing! It gives all creatures you control +2/+2 first strike AND lifelink for six mana. If this is paired with Elspeth, Sun's Champion, awesome things can happen for you.
Dauntless River Marshal is the first card in a cycle that acts like Kird Ape. They're all uncommon and get +1/+1 for having a land with the basic land type next in the color pie (in this case, Islands). It also has an ability activated using the next color (in this case, Blue). So we have a 2/1 for two mana, gets +1/+1 with an Island under your control, and then can tap a creature for 3 colorless and one blue mana. These cards will be good in limited, I think.
a three mana 1/3 with +1/+1 when you control a swamp and the ability to give a creature lifelink with one colorless and one black mana. Seems really good.
Five mana for a 4/3 that gets +1/+1 with a Mountain (so really just a five mana 5/4, which isn't bad) and then an ability for four colorless and one red mana to deal two damage to a creature or player. That ability in itself is a ridiculous cost, especially that late in the game.
Kird Chieftain costs four mana and gets +1/+1 when you control a forest. So it's a 4/4 for four which already isn't bad, then can give a creature +2/+2 and trample for a turn for four colorless and one green mana. That ability isn't too bad. Maybe a little bit overpriced, but not too bad.
Last in the cycle is the one mana Sunblade Elf that gets +1/+1 with a Plains. For a white mana and four colorless mana, you can give all your creatures +1/+1 for the turn. That's a little better than the ability of Kird Chieftain, and based on the number of creatures you will likely have by your fifth land, it's an appropriate cost, I think.
I think the best one in that cycle is Jurubai Murk Lurker. It's a cheap costing card and can give lifelink for a turn at a cheap cost.
Nissa, Worldwaker! Sure, she costs five mana for a 3 loyalty (already she's okay), but she comes with two +1 abilities, the first makes a land you control a 4/4 Elemental with trample. It may not seem that great, but it isn't until end of turn, that land is just a 4/4 Elemental while still a land for the game.
Think that was a ridiculous ability? The other +1 lets you untap up to four Forests. Shocklands still apply in this Standard (until September 26th), so you could untap some of those, but think about it... Play her, activate her second +1, and you have four more mana to spend.
One way you could just make this ridiculous even more is if you put her in a Blue/Green deck and used Master of Waves. Then your 4/4 Elemental lands with trample become 5/5 Elementals with trample.
This version of Nissa is far more playable from the last. Like her previous version, Nissa Revane, we get two +1 abilities, but this one is less specific to Elf tribal (something that does not exist in Theros block). She has a way to protect herself (using lands as creatures), and she even can accelerate your mana to cast spells costing 9+ mana seeing as she untaps four lands (counting the five used to cast her, you have options). She's really powerful as a Green Planeswalker, and I know this is a year ahead, but I hope we see her again in M16.

NEARLY EVERYONE in Leominster has shared their disappointment in the school district's outsourced custodial company, Emerald Green, and it was Ward 5 City Councilor Rick Marchand's turn when he took to Facebook on Wednesday.
Posting in the popular local group Leominsterites Unite, Marchand wrote that he is "sick and tired of the excuses."
"I visited a middle school today, and the staircases HAVE NOT BEEN CLEANED AND WERE BEYOND ACCEPTABILITY," he wrote. "What is the problem? School Committee and School Officials -- Solve the damn problem Immediately. I am a taxpayer and am sick of the filth I see and am appalled and disgusted. Do your job. Have a problem with my position on the matter? Give me the power and it will be resolved within 24 hours. I cannot do that so it is up to you. STOP the bs.........."
Ward 3 School Committee candidate Joshua Klaus also vented his frustrations online Friday, demanding the former janitors be rehired "NOW!"
"Take a vote dear School committee and get the ball rolling here before this situation gets MORE messy," he wrote. "My taxpayers, parents, and teachers who live or work in Ward 3 are FED-UP."
It's refreshing to have a local candidate in the race -- Trahan is a Lowell native now residing in Westford.
And perhaps more important, Trahan said she has raised $242,000 from Sept.
15 to Sept. 30. Not bad, observed political insiders, for someone who's been out of the political game for more than a decade.
Parallels were drawn to the $804,000 raised by Daniel Arrigg Koh, during the entire month. Koh worked as Boston Mayor Marty Walsh's chief-of-staff until he recently resigned, and moved from Boston to Andover, where he grew up and where his parents live, to run for the seat.
"If Koh hadn't delivered such an obscene number, what she announced today would be seen as very impressive for two weeks of fundraising," said one insider still in the game.
Insiders are already speculating very little of Koh's cash was raised in-district, stretching from Gardner to Haverhill. while almost every penny of Trahan's haul was.
We'll definitively learn this week, as itemized quarterly campaign finance reports from the candidates are due at 11:59 p.m. today with the Federal Elections Commission.
* Bob Larochelle, head of Andover Strategic Alliances, a consulting firm.
"Many of Lori's former colleagues are lining up to help her campaign," said one ex-Meehan staffers. "I think you'll see many contributions already and in the future."
Meehan likes to crow about how many of his former aides went on to bigger and better things after he worked them like dogs. But for a former aide to actually be elected to the seat itself ... now there's something worth crowing about.
TRAHAN TOUTED the fact that she grew up in the Highlands neighborhood of Lowell. In her adult life, she's lived in Dracut, and in Westford for the last six years.
Meanwhile, several other candidates who live outside the 3rd District are moving in for the campaign. There's Koh. There's Cambridge City Councilor Nadeem Mazen, who is similarly drawing from his years growing up in Andover. Troca Hotel CEO Abhijit "Beej" Das lives in North Andover -- in the 6th Congressional District -- but plans to relocate to Lowell.
The Andover home of state Sen. Barbara L'Italien, who has an exploratory committee formed, is in the 6th District as well, although it had been a part of the 3rd District until congressional lines were redrawn in 2011.
Two other Democrats close to the race already reside in the 3rd District. State Rep. Juana Matias lives in and represents Lawrence, and former lieutenant governor nominee Steve Kerrigan, who is exploring a bid, lives in Lancaster.
Both announced Republican candidates, Groton's Scott Gunderson and Pepperell's Rick Green, live in the 3rd District.
ONE PERSON who won't be running is Louis Marino. Marino, who lost his 2015 bid to join the Chelmsford Board of Selectmen, now lives in Fitchburg and filed with the Federal Election Commission as a Republican candidate in early September.
Then Marino had a falling out with Republicans, posting on Facebook that he could no longer be part of "a political party that likes to disenfranchise people."
He is now enrolled as a registered Democrat, rejoining the party of his youth.
Marino said he decided against a run for Congress because he's quite busy with family responsibilities and attending class to earn his real-estate license.
Marino has withdrawn from races before.
In 2013, it was Chelmsford Board of Selectmen. In 2014, it was as a Libertarian state representative candidate against Democratic state Rep. Jim Arciero. Last year, it was Chelmsford School Committee.
Upon moving to Fitchburg, he decided to run simultaneously for Fitchburg City Council and as a Republican candidate for the state Senate seat vacated by Jennifer Flanagan.
He dropped out of both races last month and endorsed Republican Dean Tran, a Fitchburg city councilor, for the state Senate seat.
TSONGAS, MEANWHILE, is remaining engaged despite her lame-duck status.
Her office announced last week that she's been appointed by Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and Minority Leader Pelosi to serve as a conferee to the Fiscal Year 2018 National Defense Authorization Act Conference Committee. The act authorizes funding and sets policy for the Department of Defense.
Congressional procedure calls for a conference committee to be formed when the House and Senate draft differing pieces of legislation on the same topic.
The committee, appointees from both parties and both chambers, tries to reconcile the differences and present one unified piece of legislation for a vote.
Contributors to the Sunday Notebook this week include reporter Peter Jasinski and The Sun of Lowell staff.

This site was studied in detail by the Thames Archaeological Survey, however recent fieldwork by the Thames Discovery Programme has recorded a range of new features, suggesting considerable erosion is occurring at the site. These include a number of new timber and masonry structures together with deposits of unabraded ceramics and other artefacts, which probably relate to Tudor activity on the waterfront of the nearby palace. Further east, a series of timber piles and baseplates, likely to be Tudor in origin, have been recorded – these appear to represent a jetty or pier structure. Other features of interest include the 18th century riverside wall (the foundations of which are now visible), and the waterfront of the Trinity Almshouses at the eastern end of the zone.
Check out the articles below to learn more about Greenwich Palace.

I am really looking forward to working in St. Paul’s this year and we have lots of great things planned for Primary 2 including learning about ‘People Who Help Us’, Dinosaurs and Water.
As P2s are no longer the babies of the school we will be working hard to set a great example to the Primary ones by learning more about being a Rights Respecting School.
I am looking forward to the year ahead and all the fun learning that will take place!
Homework will be sent home on a Monday and should be returned, completed, to school on a Friday.
Please ensure that your child has a healthy snack and a drink everyday in school!

There were frequent dearths in Canaan. In the days of Abram there was a “famine in the land” (Genesis 12:10), so also in the days of Jacob (47:4, 13). We read also of dearths in the time of the judges (Ruth 1:1), and of the kings (2 Samuel 21:1; 1 Kings 18:2; 2 Kings 4:38; 8:1).
In New Testament times there was an extensive famine in Israel (Acts 11:28) in the fourth year of the reign of the emperor Claudius (A.D. 44 and 45).

Walking festivals are a lovely and time-honoured springtime tradition throughout the British Isles, with events happening now and into the summer months from Scotland to the Isle of Wight.
The Corby Walking Festival was initiated seven years ago by local Parish Path Warden Mel Jarvis. Jarvis wished to share his love of walking, and to encourage others to enjoy the beautiful countryside and picturesque villages in the Welland Valley and Rockingham Forest area surrounding Corby. He created the 34-mile “Around Corby” circular route, connecting the parishes through a series of scenic walking paths.
Each day of the Festival will feature a selection of led walks with knowledgeable guides. Walks are rated for difficulty on a 1 to 5 scale, with 1 being easiest and 5 the most challenging. There will be choices suited to all interests and fitness levels, from easy strolls to day-long tests of endurance. Walk leaders will offer fascinating insights into local history, wildlife and flora along the paths, as well as stunning opportunities for photography.
Launch festivities begin Monday at noon with the Lakelands Family Fun Day and Dog Show, featuring bouncy castles, archery, face painting, games, a display of falconry, and more. Participants can begin walking then and there, with the 500-meter circular Taster Orienteering Course departing at intervals from the Family Fun Day grounds in East Carlton Park. Monday’s offerings also include a 45-minute Taster Nordic Walk, with a demonstration of Nordic walking and poles provided for those who would like to try this dynamic whole-body workout.
Tuesday’s Lakeland Legs walk encourages walkers to “dress up your legs” with fun leggings, colourful leg-warmers, patterned socks and festive footwear.
On Thursday, the Nature’s Larder walk in Fineshade Woods offers a first-hand look at the wealth of wild foods to be found in the woods and verges.
The 34-mile Around Corby walk, linking the seven villages of Corby Borough and the surrounding countryside, can be done in its entirety or in any of four smaller sections, led by Northamptonshire Ramblers.
For those who prefer to meander along at their own pace, the Festival has developed three attractive unled walks at Hazel and Thoroughsale Woods in the heart of Corby. The woods are lovingly maintained by volunteers, and are rich with flowers, butterflies and birds such as nuthatches and jays. This year’s unled walks are the 30-minute Hazel Trail, the 1-hour Willow Trail by the tranquil Boating Lake, and the 2-hour Oak Trail through woodland’s wildflower meadows. Colour-coded waymarkers will guide you along the path.
The walks mentioned here are only a small sampling of the many wonderful offerings listed in the Festival programme, which gives detailed descriptions and maps for each walk.
The Festival’s organisers select a beneficiary charity each year, and for 2015 they are pleased to support Lakelands Day Care Hospice. Lakelands provides respite day care facilities for adults, with the goal of improving quality of life for patients and families living with life-limiting illnesses. Volunteers will be collecting donations for the Hospice at the end of each walk during the Festival.
No special equipment is needed for participation. The organisers suggest bringing snacks and drinking water along on longer walks; wearing good, supportive footwear; and packing waterproofs in case of rain. With the walk leader’s approval, well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome on most walks.
Between walks, you will find plenty to enjoy in Corby and the surrounding areas. Catch a play, film or musical performance at the vibrant Corby Cube shopping and entertainment complex on George Street. Tour the grandeur of Kirby Hall, where peacocks stroll the gardens. Try your luck fishing on Corby Boating Lake. Enjoy a swim, sauna or steam bath at the East Midlands International Pool. For lodging, Corby offers a choice of many charming bed and breakfast inns as well as chain hotels, and pubs and restaurants provide a variety of delicious fare.
The seven-day program is offered free of charge, courtesy of the Festival, for all who would like to come and walk. You may participate in as few or as many walks as you like. There is no need to make advance reservations, but participants are asked to arrive at the starting site fifteen minutes before their chosen walk is scheduled to begin, to allow time for registration and an informative briefing on the walk ahead.
The Festival promises to be a delightful week of nature, fitness and fun!

The recently formed Morpeth Charity Events Team has held its first event under its new name.
A luncheon with food and floral art demonstrations was held at Stannington Village Hall for Henry Dancer Days, a local charity that supports young people with bone cancer and their families.
One hundred ladies enjoyed a two-course lunch and demonstrations by Sandra Dickinson, floral art, and Helen Moran, food, who gave their services free in support of the charity.
Members of the team donated all the food and Andrew Tebbutt, local councillor, gave and sold his homemade jams.
Special guest Carol Malia, trustee of Brave Hearts and Look North presenter, attended and drew the raffle.
A total of £2,147 was raised for Henry Dancer Days.
This will be used entirely to support young cancer sufferers and also to continue its distraction therapy work at the Great North Children’s Cancer Department at the RVI.
Henry Dancer Days would like to thank everyone who supported or were involved in this event.

Dr. Mandell is a professor in the Department of Sociology, as well as Gender, Feminist and Women’s Studies at York University. She is also a former Director of the Centre for Feminist Research and Chair of the Sociology Department. Her research and teaching interests include gender, aging, schooling and family. An expert on community-based research whose community-academic research protocol (Mandell and Whittington-Walsh, 2004) is widely used across Canada, Dr. Mandell has a wealth of experience working with marginalized communities in the areas of classroom equity, family violence, feminist methods and women’s rights.
Under the direction of Dr. Mandell, several significant projects were hosted by the Centre during the 1994 - 1995 year including a working paper by the Women and Disabilities Committee entitled, “Disability is a Feminist Issue;” two community meetings, organized by The Sport Communities Working Group; and a multimedia performance by the Cultural Connection Series. CFR also co-organized a three day conference with the Centre for Refugee Studies titled, “Women's Rights are Human Rights: Focus on Youth."
Also during this period, the Centre hosted a number of scholars including: Dr. Regina Papa, India; Doris Marquit, University of Minnesota, USA; Dr. Yevgenia Issraelyan, Institute of USA and Canada Studies, Russia; and Elisabeth Binder, Koordinationsstelle für Genderfragen, Kunstuniversität Linz, Austria.
1995 - 1996 was another busy year for the CFR.
The Centre organized a "Violence Against Women Funding Workshop" to provide an overview of funding programs across the country on anti-VAW initiatives.
The first Cultural Connections Series event featured internationally recognized filmmaker Kobena Mercer. During this busy time, the CFR was proud to have hosted Rector Ihamuotila from Finland; Carmen Matheu from Spain; Gil Bottemly from England and Sushna Krishna from SNDT University in India as visiting scholars.
1996 - 1997 was a hectic year for the CFR, as it followed the YUFA strike. During this post-YUFA strike year, CFR worked to gather testimonies from women participants in the strike to strategize for structural change. Despite the academic disruption, the CFR developed several exciting projects. For example, the CFR worked with Inanna Publications to publish Visions & Realities: Women’s Studies in the 90s, a revised conference proceedings in book form, edited by Rusty Shteir, and published with the Graduate Woman’s Studies program.
4) the 10th annual “Equity in the Classroom/Equity in the Curriculum" conference.
CFR was also honoured to host two visiting scholars: Professor Charlotte Caron from St. Andrews College, Saskatchewan; and Professor Theresa Smith from Indiana University, Pennsylvania.

I'm not the brightest bulb..
I'm a taco short of a combo plate "
What a mishap ! A storm in a tea cup !!!!"
"I knew the pathway like the back of my hand"
"I got bats in the belfry"
"She's eighteen and it's time she got out of the wood"
but none of us are getting any younger."
"Let's call a spade a spade"
Has the cat got your tongue"
"Do I sit here and try to stand it?
Or do I try to catch them red-handed?"
"it cost an arm and a leg just to live on your knees"
Tear me out of that midst"
With a head like a rock..."
"I rise up in the mornin', I get up with the lark"
"Oh I would like to give you your head"
"Give me my head - nothing more, I am dead"
I have other fish to fry"
"we have other fish to fry"
"You can't have your cake woman and eat it too"
"it's all water under the bridge"
I won't complain and I won't mind."
And I'm king of the road again"
"I'm trying to kill two birds with one stone"
"I want to break out and you lead me up the garden path"
You haven't got it, you haven't got the time"
"My lights are on but there's nobody home"
"The lights are on but there's nobody home"
My, my, pigs might fly"
"I'm here to play devil's advocate"
"put the horse before the cart"
"Never put the cart before the horse"
When you put your idle shoulder to the wheel"
Put your shoulder to the wheel"
Why can I see stars."
Not knowing if I'm dead"
"All right Jack sitting on the fence"
"Nothing to do now but spill the beans"
"she ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer"
"Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes..."
"Vodka pills and powder all money down the drain, I could have been somebody"
She spend my money down a drain"
Till I broke my back..."
"An entertaining and cheeky music video for 70 Million, hit song by Franco-American band, Hold Your Horses!, offers a wink at art history as band members playfully reconstruct famous paintings in an off the wall lyrical interpretation all their own."
And 70 million haven't tasted snow"
The saying is typically used when someone is rushing in to something.
It is often combined with linked idioms such as, cool your jets, or look before you leap..."

I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving — and have lots of leftovers to enjoy for a few days! Did you venture out on Black Friday for all the steals and deals, or did you stay in and relax after an exhausting day of cooking? Well, against my better judgement, I braved the crowds and made my way to the mall to do some shopping. All I can say is — never again! Every store I went into looked the same. They all had long lines and/or were out of what I was looking for. After striking out at almost every store, I decided to call it quits and just wait for Cyber Monday to arrive. So, if you’re like me, you are looking forward to doing all of your holiday shopping from the comfort of your own home this year. And that Black Friday shopping excursion? It was a momentary lapse in judgment!
Banana Republic: 40% off your online purchase at Banana Republic, Gap and Old Navy. Enter code CYBER at checkout.
Bloomingdales: 25% off regular – and sale-price items.
White House Black Market: 30% off your entire purchase. Use code 19959.
Anthropologie: 20% off all sale items with code EXTRAJOLLY.
So sad I missed Cyber Monday… next year will be! Thanks for the tips anyway!

For Epilepsy "I've been on Keppra XR 500mg ( taking 4 a day, 2 at night 2 in morning) it was great at first but then I started to get really irritable, then along came anxiety and depression, in 2016 I had a son ( had 1 seizure during pregnancy) and 2017 had a daughter ( same scenario) I also had post-partum depression from when I had my son, its worsened over those two years. this will be my 5th year on it and im not satisfied with it at all, I've tried changing my medicine but they won't because it stopped my seizures (grand mal) and I've tried telling them about the depression and anxiety but all they asked "why didn't you tell us this before" but most people deny the fact they have anxiety and depression (like me) to avoid being put on other meds, I've tried anxiety and depression medicine but nothing worked. All I want is off this medicine to not feel like a zombie anymore."
For Epilepsy "I was diagnosed with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy in 2010 and was started on depakote, after gaining 40 lbs and still having seizures on that medication, my doc switched me to Keppra XR, initially I started out on 500mg once a day and was feeling a little drowsy but ok, I was still having muscle jerks so she upped the dose to 1500mg once a day and started having severe fatigue, as a college student this was affecting my studies severely. Now, on the same dosage for 3 years, I have memory loss, severe exhaustion and fatigue, headaches and dizziness every day and my school work is being negatively affected. My doc refuses to change my medication since I haven't had a seizure while on keppra XR."
For Epilepsy "I starting having seizures after a car accident when I was 18 (now 28). I was told by neurologists that may be the reason for the "trigger" of my epilepsy. I had 3 t-c seizures before being put on the max dosage of 1500mg 2x daily of the keppra. The side effects listed with the drugs usually happen to me but it wasn't hard to handle. Keppra worked for 2 years for the most part. Then it stopped. I began to have night time seizures, then partials, auras, memory loss, anxiety, double vision. You name it it was happening and it still is. I am now with a seizure specialist taking 3 different seizure medications and an anti anxiety as needed. 15 pills. Still having t-c, complex-partials, and partials with all the side effects. Can't work now."
For Epilepsy "Since I started on this medication, I stopped having seizures. It has been 2 years now. It is great medicine. "
For Epilepsy "I have had grand-mal seizures since age 7 due to an AVM in my brain. Previously during childhood, I was on Dilantin (major rage problems) and Tegretol (caused liver damage). When the Tegretol caused liver disease and brain surgery was complete, I was switched to Keppra XR (2 pills 2x a day) and seizures have been under control for the most part."
For Seizures "Never thought I would ever find a seizure medicine that worked. Keppra XR - THUMBS UP!"
For Seizures "My neurologist prescribed Keppra initially 500 MG in the morning and 500 MG in the eveninig. I was so groggy it was unbelievable. All I wanted to do was sleep. We switched to the XR Keppra 500 MG twice per day at bedtime and it has been much better. Still suffer from some side effects (skin rash, stiff neck) but feeling much better. 8 weeks into it and all appears well! Good luck to all, I hope this helps."
For Epilepsy "Keppra XR returned my life to normal. Excellent medication for Epilepsy/seizures."
For Seizures "Had very bad side effects. Caused severe mood swings."
For Epilepsy "I've been taking Keppra XR for 12 months. I have Myoclonic epilepsy with tonic-clonic seizures. Jerking and instant blackouts are gone but occassionally still having tonic-clonics. My dosage levels are still unclear and time will tell if the current dosage will work. Side effects are not severe and I function very well compared to past medication experiences."
For Seizures "Increased anxiety and insomnia, did not control my SPS."
For Seizures "I have tried 3 other types of seizure medications, but they all seemed to have many more negative side effects. Keppra XR has been a good medicine for me at this time and any noticeable side effects went away within a short time."
For Seizures "I took the regular Keppra and it made me feel groggy and tired. Since taking the Keppra XR I feel more normal and balanced."
For Seizures "My fiance has been using Keppra XR since January of 09. So far he has not had any seizures. But has experienced all the side effects of the medication. But it does work. I would recommend Keppra XR."

Health Care Without Harm-Asia is part of a global network of over 483 member parties in 53 countries. Our organization is at the center of transforming the health care sector worldwide, without compromising patient safety or care.
We’ve grown into a broad-based network with representatives from various fronts. Our coalition is comprised of hospitals and health care systems; medical professionals; community groups; health-affected constituencies; labor unions; environmental and environmental health organizations; and religious groups.
HCWH Asia-Pacific took root in 2003, committing to improve healthcare systems in the region. The group’s first project in the area was the Philippine Measles Eradication Campaign (PMEC) in 2004, which demonstrated the possibility of conducting a major immunization campaign without incinerating the resulting waste. The project set a global benchmark that was cited in international conferences.
In 2005, the issue of mercury in medical and science equipment came into focus. The organization held the first mercury conference in Southeast Asia. The conference, along with the mercury-related accident in St. Andrew’s School in Manila, solidified popular opinion towards the toxic substance.
Now known as HCWH-Asia, the organization works with strategic partners based in New Delhi, Durban, Dar es Saalam and elsewhere. HCWH maintains regional offices in the United States, Belgium, Argentina and the Philippines.
The mission of Health Care Without Harm to transform the health care sector worldwide, without compromising patient safety or care, so that it is ecologically sustainable and no longer a source of harm to public health and the environment.

Last Thursday I finished recording my last album titled «La Malvarrosa». This work was recorded in Valencia at Millenia Studios with an orchestral ensemble.
The concept takes inspiration from the Mediterranean Sea where the white light and the blue water induce a relaxed atmosphere.

Inova OnTime analog clocks make it simple to keep time accurate and consistent throughout a facility. Plug them into a standard Ethernet jack, and the clocks automatically receive time updates from a Simple Network Time Protocol server, eliminating the need for specialized software or a master clock. Thanks to a revolutionary design, that same Ethernet connection also provides the clock’s power! No AC outlet is required.
Inova OnTime™ analog clocks provide accurate, synchronized time throughout a facility in a sleek analog format. Visible at over 100 feet, these Power over Ethernet clocks keep everyone on the same schedule.
OnTime analog clocks plug into an Ethernet jack on your local area network. No AC plug is required, so installation is inexpensive and it’s easy to move clocks around. Power is supplied over standard Cat-5 cabling using the IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet standard, the same power source as Voice-over-IP telephones.
OnTime analog clocks are highly accurate and receive synchronized time updates automatically over the network. Inova Solutions keeps things simple by eliminating the need for specialized software – control one or hundreds of clocks from any PC on the network with a simple telnet session. OnTime clocks will find an existing Simple Network Time Protocol server on your network, or you can set up a new one, making synchronized time easy.
NOTE –Power over Ethernet must be enabled on your network for Inova OnTime clocks to operate. If you aren’t sure whether PoE is enabled on your network, please verify this with your IT department before placing an order.
Consistent and accurate time across an organization keeps things running smoothly. Schools and universities rely on accurate timekeeping to efficiently transition students from one class to the next. In healthcare facilities, synchronized time is critical to daily operations, whether its checking on patients or delivering medications. In a corporate environment, time wasted on waiting for co-workers to arrive at a meeting translates directly into lost productivity. Synchronized time in manufacturing environments promotes schedule adherence, helping the entire team meet productivity goals. The integration and coordination of security systems in all organizations depends on synchronized time.
Experience the benefits of Inova's Power over Ethernet analog network clocks providing synchronized time throughout your facility.

Lovely blogger Postcard from Gibraltar tagged me a Blue Sky Tag – thank you so much for the nomination and for making me feel truly part of the blogging community.
Not so much ‘blue sky’ to share with you today though, it’s grey, windy and rainy here is Kent this Thursday aftenoon.
So here goes, I hope I don’t bore you senseless!
It makes me feel I am not wasting my life away. Sometimes when a person asks you what you’ve actually been up to, you can’t recall much of significance or even anything they would be interested in. Posting shows I actually got up to something!
I had a lull between jobs, had read a few interesting blog posts and thought it was a great way to share my own love of crafts and love of life. I started slow three years ago, been a little sporadic, I hope have got a lot better!
I post about my hobbies, knitting, stitching, reading, France and the seaside. I like a laugh with friends. I like movies, theatre and eating out too. Some bloggers post pics of dinners – I wouldn’t have time as I eat too quickly!
I’m the one with the blue hair, pink hat, viking hat, red feathers – think we were planning to run the country that day !
Fairly recently, Joanna Lumley has done two great series on Japan – so Japan goes on my list. I also fancy more Caribbean locations such at Guadeloupe so I could enjoy the sunshine and practice my french – guess that combines two of my loves so that might be perfect!
Fleetwood Mac, Tango in the Night in the car today – hubby hates FM so I enjoy blasting it out when driving alone. Reminds me of being 17 and playing it all the time. Feeling slightly old now reminiscing about being 17, stories I could tell – er, maybe I will leave that until another day!
I just can’t choose one – so changing the rules it’s going to be 2 books.
Still Alice by Lisa Genova – the sad decline of a highly intelligent lecturer who suffers from early onset dementia. A revealing read to me, well written and recommend it to everyone.
Secondly, the classic, Room with A View by E M Forster. I read this as a teenager, could read it time and again. It brings to life the romance of Florence and an era of restrictions and tentative love. Just found this review — I have very similar views, though I visited Florence years later, looked everywhere for a ‘Lucy Honeychurch’ or a ‘Mr Emerson Junior’.
I would quite like to be in the crowd watching Queen Elizabeth II come out of Westminster Abbey having just been crowned in 1953. It would have been incredibly exciting and as many families didn’t own TVs and we would never have seen such celebration on a grand scale, let alone in colour.
Best memory of best meal, sitting in a treehouse eating curry in Mauritius on our honeymoon. Can I say that meal again and in the same location?
From my past, great concerts from Alison Moyet and Sade – so those two for moods and blues and an 80’s blast. Coldplay for energy and musings. Ed Sheeran for a bit of something modern and because he’s ginger (have ginger family and friends!). Phil Collins – loved most things he has ever played – voice from my past and he is currently touring too and is still great. Adele – love her voice and her songs are so emotionally raw (wish I had tickets for tonight at Wembley!). Could go on. In fact I might just spend the evening playing some of these.
That’s me done. I hope you enjoyed my 11 answers. Now for nominating my choice of bloggers. I do hope you will join in, I won’t be offended if you prefer to give it a miss or if you have already been nominated by someone else.
What made you blog and what do you enjoy most about it?
What attracts you to a blog and why do you keep reading it?
Without restrictions, what would be your ideal job and why?
If you could go back in history, where would you be?
What would your next meal be if you could chose and time/place/budget was unlimited?
What were you doing right before you read this blue tag post? What will you do right after post your 11 answers? Ok, that’s 2 questions…..
This entry was posted in Uncategorized and tagged blue sky tag, Blue tag, Crawcrafts Beasties, Dartmoor Yarns, France, Jackallcraft, knit, Mrs Craft, My Tangled Yarn, Nothingbutknit2, Puddleside Musings, sew, SewChet, Tialys.
So I bought a huge men’s shirt for less than £3.00 – am cutting it up. I llke the fabric but it has a stain on it so bought it for the fabric not the garment itself. I have also taken apart a gorgeous broderie anglaise dress I had two years ago, it had a huge snag on the front (grrr, the washing machine ‘ate’ it!). I have chopped into it to make a sample fitted top, making sure the darts are in the correct places, then will use it as a sample as a pattern.
I bought some beautiful linen trousers too. They were made for someone with the longest legs ever – so I have rehemmed them to fit (I actually have long legs but these were ridiculous!) Also a blouse, which was too short in the body, I added a trim to the bottom and voila – perfect for me. In fact I wore this combo to work yesterday – so can’t show it off as it’s now in the laundry pile – will show off pics next time.
So, for a pic today …. I have chosen one of a bag I made for a friend last year. A little quilting, lots of fun I had one Sunday afternoon.
Thanks for reading my blog post(s).

Towards the end of a very difficult week there is crafting light at the end of the tunnel.
A little rest and family time yesterday helped. As did some kind comments from a couple of dear friends and also blogging friends here too.
Today, after dropping off No 1 son (and only son!) at the train station ready for him to head airport bound on his hols, I sat and sewed. Son had been home for less than 24 hours, he is a whirlwind like his father! Husband has been away from home 2 nights this week for work. At times they are like peas in a pod!
A few hexies sewn as part of a long ongoing project. The burgundy is a lot darker than it seems in the pic. Enjoy the rest of your day wherever you are.
Three felt doughnuts to go for sale in a local tea shop.

Childhood was happy and simple. I would love to be able to thank my parents properly but sadly they both passed a few years ago. I was kind of able to say thanks when I spent some time with my mother in her final days but it was not enough and time was short. I hope she had the same happiness with parenting that I had with childhood.
Perhaps for most people childhood is rosy! I hope I have been able to give mainly happy memories to my own son. At the moment I believe my husband and I are deemed as slightly demented, crazy people who were ‘never young’, dare I say the usual thoughts of a young adult these days about anyone over 35!
Perhaps the appreciation of your own parents only comes into it’s own as you age yourself. I think the first time I truly reflected on parenting was on my wedding day. I had already left home and was living with my fiance but it still felt like leaving the fold of my first family to join my second.
Recently there has been another very sad passing of a dear family member. The final illness was quite lengthy which was dreadful for the sufferer. However, the weeks gave each of us time to say our goodbyes and remember good times. I am still deciding in my own head whether this long drawn out end of life was cruel or kind. It should not be a shock, but it still feels like it.
This passing came a little time after a career crisis for me, followed by a new job offer, accepted under pressure. During the same period a family member’s plans to return home gave way and a move for that person to go abroad for a year came to the fore. A new baby in the family was born safely and on time, after several weeks of anticipation of an early and problematic birth. Husband has a very pressurised job, which recently meant more time away from home, more long working hours, distractions from the business when at home too. We had a major job done on the house, with builders here for a few weeks and a major job done at our holiday home so lots of decision making done remotely, which is stressful in itself. Our usual holidays at Easter and May Day were deferred due to the happenings about us. Finally we had three nights and four days away last weekend and that’s when this latest sad crisis occurred.
Of course, now is the time to be there for each other, look after each other, a funeral to get through and the weeks after.
We will survive, but feeling a little battered and bruised.
Still crafting occasionally, a little ‘therapy’ and me time. Projects on the table: a patchwork and applique runner for a craft fair (see post a couple of weeks ago for Countryside ideas), ongoing English paper piecing hexagons patchwork throw (see post a few weeks ago!), newly cast on cotton summer top (knitting), almost finished knitted summer vest (just fixing errors on the neck pick up which originally was a disaster), more felt doughnuts to sell …. loads more projects but they are in hiding right now. No photos to share at the mo but there will be.

I meant to add this to my last post. Looking for inspiration please!
I am often setting myself goals, some of which I achieve, though some become epic fails and I log both on here sometimes … ooops! Am currently looking for inspiriration with a ‘countryside’ theme – a group of friends hope to have a table sale at a local ‘Countryside Day’ event here in the UK. Thinking of small, reasonably priced gifts for browsers to purchase which are quick to make and don’t cost a packet! All ideas welcomed. I sew and knit, time is limited!
So far, I have come up with squirrels and hedgehogs made of felt – I have 2 patterns but have not started anything! Outside my house there is an abundance of pine cones – constantly dropping off next doors trees, perhaps there’s something there? Friends have already made cards and cross stitch mini pics too. I don’t have much time and am shouting out to others here ! Thanks for any replies!
My squirrels won’t look as cute as the real thing!

The House with Two Doors …. don’t know the history, but is sure is quirky – giess once upon a time it was two houses and now it’s one!
We did stop for a treat whilst in Rye. I never miss a tea and biscuit break (well, in my case coffee as I don’t drink tea!). The Old Apothecary was our cake stop http://www.apothecaryrye.co.uk/ check out their website to see how it’s housed in an old chemist shop! The ‘treat’ inspired me a little, though I had homemade cake and not actual biscuits!
Crafting time: These are to add to my items for sale in a local cafe. For those who regularly follow my blog you may remember doughnuts a while ago. Same cafe, those doughnuts went down a treat! Let’s hope a few ‘traditional style’ biscuits go the same way.
One from a packet, one from the crafting table !
And that’s a little crafting only, still managing to get a little done, rather than a lot, but a little can go a long way!
Bye for now. Happy Friday !

Anima is a popular plugin used by many designers to improve their workflow. I would recommend full compatibility with their features.
Add the centered pins too !
Perhaps you guys could chat to Anima in regards syncing the data that Anima is writing into the Sketch document so that is easliy read by Avocode?
This is such a great feature in Sketch and such a missed opportunity that Avocade isn't able to read the data. Ultimately the designers layout suffers. Would be great to have this fixed.

Christine Nelligan, with Rothwell & District Live at Home project worker,'Christine Darbyshire. The scheme was one of 50 to receive funding from Time to Shine. Picture: Time to Shine.
Leeds' £6m lottery-backed loneliness project has now funded 50 projects across the city - and is launching its final call for new schemes.
Leeds Older People's Forum secured £6m from The National Lottery Community Fund to reach more than 15,000 lonely or socially isolated older people in the city through its Time to Shine project back in 2014.
The funding comes to and in 2021, and it has announced it has now funded 50 projects, as it looks for its final partners to fund.
Groups can apply for between £5,000 and £10,000 for six to 12-month projects that would start from July onwards, and applications are open from Thursday April 4 until Thursday May 16.
So far, programmes funded by Time to Shine have been as diverse as a project to get retirees out on canal boats to supper clubs, radio-broadcasting, postcard pen pals and dance classes.

On a rural South Korean farmstead, a married middle-aged couple arrive at the home of a single mother (Kil Hae-yeon) and her pregnant teenage daughter (Ahn Ji-hye). The parties have struck a deal. The couple will adopt the girl’s child fathered by her teenage boyfriend, now unwanted by her mother. Meanwhile, while the husband returns to the city, the wife (Yoon Da-kyung) will stay to accompany the expecting mother until her baby is due.
Ottawan Albert Shin’s forlorn second feature dramatizes the common practice of secret adoptions in a part of the world where the pressure to maintain ancestral lineage is often as immense as it is unforgiving. To avoid being cast as failures, married couples unable to produce children sometimes resort to adopting newborns in secrecy. While this still doesn’t stop the rampant speculation about the reproductive lives of others, the logic goes that when appearances are kept, social harmony is attained.
Much of the story’s dramatic arc derives from the mutual distrust the film’s three female characters develop toward one another. This tension builds slowly, taking the form of a poisonous chill which breezes into the household the moment the couple arrives. But the emotional heart of this three-way relationship is centred around the girl’s growing refusal to surrender her child to strangers. When she realizes the adults around her are denying her a shot at motherhood, her resistance threatens to upend the business transaction.
A project conceived after several years of research in which Shin worked and filmed in his second language, the result is an engaging drama that is headlined by compelling turns by veteran theatre actresses Yoon Da-kyung and Kil Hae-yeon as the two adult women. As the scraggy teenage girl traumatized by the abuse of her kin, Ahn is captivating to watch. A brief supporting role by Kim Chang-hwan as the feckless teenage father-to-be is also solid.

Home to some of the most representative administrative buildings in Valencia, Plaza del Ayuntamiento features an outstanding mix of Spanish architectural styles.
Dominating the square are the stunning neoclassical Town Hall (Ayuntamiento) and the magnificent Central Post Office (Edificio de Correos), designed by architect Miguel Angel Navarro in a beautiful eclectic style that combines striking Modernista features with lavish baroque-inspired interiors.
The plaza is a popular meeting point for Valencians and is often filled with stalls selling wonderful flowers, a local tradition that dates back to 1924. From here you can either start exploring the lively narrow lanes of Valencia’s Old Town or go shopping at the fantastic stores that line the adjoining streets.
Plaza del Ayuntamiento is also a favorite venue for celebrating local events and festivities, from post-game tailgating parties, Christmas Nativity scenes, and the Region of Valencia Day to the annual Fallas Festival, when the entire place is bursting with energy and spectacular mascletas (explosive pyrotechnic displays).

_ Evgeny Vinokurov, Director, Eurasian Development Bank (EDB) Centre for Integration Studies, PhD, Dr. hab.; Vladimir Pereboyev, Head of Projects at the Eurasian Development Bank (EDB) Centre for Integration Studies, PhD. IIASA. Working Paper. Laxenburg, 16 September 2016.
Despite the severe crisis in the EU-Russia relationship, we think that efforts invested in structuring and mapping a future EU-EAEU rapprochement would be time well spent.
There is an ongoing debate about the appropriateness of the official dialogue and deepening of cooperation between the European Union (EU) and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). The current state of debate on the EU side is truly disappointing. As a matter of fact, EU experts are currently debating not how to structure dialogue with the EAEU, but rather whether such a dialogue should exist at all.
Here is a very short review of the recent views expressed by the EU authors. Mark Leonard and Ivan Krastev from the European Council on Foreign Relations express the view that “the best hope for the EU is to establish that working relations with Russia could be through the EU’s engagement with the EAEU” (Leonard, Krastev, 2014). Rilka Dragneva-Lewers and Kataryna Wolczuk from the University of Birmingham recommend focusing EU-EAEU relations only on trade, assuming that the EAEU is not really a credible partner (and competitor). Their position is that “engagement with the EAEU should move forward with due caution and include a number of conditions with regard to Russia’s actions in Ukraine as well as Russia’s WTO commitments. It is important that any dialogue includes, apart from Russia, the Eurasian Economic Commission and other EAEU member states, if only to prevent Russia from monopolising the EAEU’s external agenda and avoid the marginalisation of the eastern neighbours inside and outside the Eurasian bloc” (DragnevaLewers, Wolczuk, 2015). DGAP expert Stefan Meister points out the problem of politicizing of all relations between the EU and Russia. He believes that it would be more prudent to upgrade collaboration between the EU and the Eurasian Economic Union not through politicization, but based on pragmatic principles, in order to improve economic relations with the EAEU member states. The EU’s strengths, he writes, lie in its ability to negotiate technical standards and reduce barriers between the EU as an economic area and the EAEU, not in political haggling with Moscow that does not really serve EU interests (Meister, 2015). By contrast, Susan Stewart from the Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik (German Institute for International and Security Affairs – SWP) asserts that the dialogue between the EU and the EAEU is a return to failed approaches, so there is no need for such a dialogue (Stewart, 2015). In a much more nuanced tone, another SWP expert, Alexander Libman, suggests that the EU-EAEU dialogue format has several advantages, but is not wholly adequate to overcome the fundamental contradictions between Russia and the EU (Libman, 2015).
Recently, IIASA has drafted an Interim Report on the long-term project “Challenges and Opportunities of Economic Integration within a Wider European and Eurasian Space” (IIASA, 2016, mimeo). It argues for taking a ‘long’ view toward the EU-EAEU rapprochement, for the need to structure a comprehensive cooperation framework and for not being discouraged by the apparent lack of short-term progress.
Our position is that the dialogue between the two integration blocs is of utmost long-term importance and could be structurally built on the ‘mega-deal’ approach (Vinokurov, 2014). The scope of potential issues that could be addressed by the mega-deal (whether it takes the form of a single agreement or set of agreements) encompasses dozens of items. We also suggest to look outside of the DCFTA ‘universe’ for a legal structure, e.g., to start off from the EU-Canada CETA structure.
1. Trade in goods (abolition of import duties, with a clearly defined set of exemptions) 2. Elimination/streamlining of non-tariff trade barriers 3. Regulation of cross-border electronic trade 4. Trade in services 5. Liberalization of access to financial markets 6. Free capital movement 7. Regulatory convergence (norms and standards) 8. Intellectual property rules 9. Reciprocal recognition of diplomas (degrees), including professional education 10. Visa-free regime, with a complete set of readmission agreements as a prerequisite 11. Labour migration regime 12. Mobility of pensions 13. Special regime for Kaliningrad Region (investment or trade-and-investment) 14. Special neighbourhood regions 15. Large-scale educational exchanges (Erasmus Mundus, and so forth) 16. Application of the EU’s Third Energy Package to projects envisioning Russian gas exports 17. Development of international transport infrastructure (road and rail corridors) 18. Establishment of an EU-EAEU common electric power market 19. Regulation of partial reciprocal access to public procurement 20. Competition rules 21. Dispute resolution mechanisms.
Approximately 25 per cent of the domains mentioned in the Box 1 are relevant to the movement of people. In this IIASA Policy Brief, we briefly cover a few of the outstanding issues that fall under the heading of the movement of people, namely readmission agreements, a visa-free regime, labour migration, mobility of pensions, large-scale educational exchanges, and recognition of professional diplomas and certificates. Our goal at this stage is to simply map them, to provide some background information, and air some relevant policy ideas.
Proposal: Visa-free regime between the EU and the EAEU, including a set of agreements on readmission.
Article 8(1) of the Treaty on European Union states that “the Union shall develop a special relationship with neighbouring countries, aiming to establish an area of prosperity and good neighbourliness, founded on the values of the Union and characterised by close and peaceful relations based on cooperation”. “Migration and mobility is a key area of co-operation for the EU and its partners. Enhancing mobility, especially for education, scientific, cultural, training and professional purposes, has positive effects on economies and societies alike. Tackling people smuggling and illegal migration is a common challenge” (European Commission, 2015a).
After all the Russia-EU disputes are settled (just to reiterate, our proposals are long-term ones), passenger and migration flows between the EAEU member-states and the EU will continue to increase. Both sides should reinforce and develop their cooperation, which should take into account the lessons of the Common Space on Freedom, Security and Justice, elaborated by the EU and Russia back in 2003-04. (see Sagrera, Potemkina, 2013) Especially worthwhile would be perusing the drafts of the Readmission and Visa Facilitation Agreements (VFAs), which were prepared as a part of the prospective package.
An important caveat: visa issues actually lie outside of the supranational competence of the EAEU. Hence, technically, negotiations will have to be conducted with the individual EAEU member states, preferably in coordination between them.
For any serious negotiations on an EU-EAEU countries’ visa-free regime to succeed, a complete set of readmission agreements should be implemented.
The EAEU and the EU can benefit from introducing a visa-free regime that would have the usual limits (for example, 90 days in a year), because it will facilitate tourism and business exchange among member states.
There might be some modifications and restrictions to the idea of the visa-free regime. For example, such problematic (migration-wise) states as Kyrgyzstan might be excluded on the EAEU side at the initial stage (although we think that a readmission agreement might alleviate concern about the matter). Also, the initial scope of countries from the EU side could be restricted to the Schengen area.
Formally, there is a visa-free regime among the CIS countries (MFA of Russia). But some countries tighten up their visa regimes from time to time. In 2014 Ukraine introduced visa requirements for Russian citizens, for political reasons. Russia did the same, tightening rules on residence on its territory for foreigners from countries whose citizens have the right to visa-free entry to Russia (except the EAEU member states). These restrictions cover immigrants who come to Russia without a work permit. The purpose of this change was to create an instrument of legal limitations and regulation of labour migration from CIS countries. This was a reaction by the Russian authorities to socio-political problems arising from the uncontrolled influx of immigrants and the increase in anti-immigrant sentiment in Russian society (Chawrylo, 2014).
Proposal: Due to the extreme sensitivity of the labour migration issue, it should be left off the EUEAEU agenda for the medium term.
Labour migration flows between the European Union countries and the EAEU are relatively intensive. According to official statistics (FMS of Russia), 221 thousand Germans and 104 thousand British citizens were residing in Russia in 2014.
The EU is certainly very attractive for labour migrants from the EAEU countries (this is actually a problem with regard to the visa-free regime). Russia is in the Top 10 countries of origin of nonEU nationals residing in the EU (565 thousand are from Russia) (Eurostat, 2015). Also the EU signed Mobility Partnership with Moldova, Georgia and Armenia that aims to manage the migration flows and fight illegal migration (Havlik, 2012).
The multi-year “EDB Integration Barometer” provides interesting data about EAEU countries’ attitudes to migration (EDB Centre for Integration Studies, 2015b). 16% of Armenian citizens prefer labour migration to Germany, 15% to France (in 2014, the figures were 12% and 9%, respectively); in Belarus, Russia (here especially it is the 18-44 year-old population with higher education) and Kazakhstan, potential labour migration Germany is a priority for 15%, 13% and 10% of citizens, respectively. When choosing a country of potential permanent residence, citizens of two EAEU member states, Russia and Belarus, prefer the EU states. One out of 10 Russians is ready to spend his life in the EU. For example, 5% prefer Germany among the EU states (10% in 2014). Among 18-25-year-old Russians, 9% prefer Germany, 7% France, and 7% Great Britain. In Belarus 9% of citizens prefer Germany, 7% Great Britain (among 18-25-year-old citizens, 16% would prefer to reside in Germany, 16% in Great Britain, 11% in France). In Armenia 11% of citizens prefer France and 9% Germany. We note that more than 50% do not want to leave their native country.
It is common knowledge that the EU possesses a well-developed common labour market which comprises 28 states with a total population of 508 million. By contrast, it is still almost unknown that the Eurasian Economic Union also represents a common labour market, effectively uniting five states and ca. 180 million people.
In the 2000sthere was a rapid rise of labour migration within and outside post-Soviet space. Within a decade, labour migration became a highly visible phenomenon with significant economic and social consequences. Russia and Kazakhstan are natural centres of attraction for migrant workers in the CIS region, which boasts the highest migration levels in Eurasia. According to official statistics of the Russian Federal Migration Service, as of 2014, 2.1 million migrants from Uzbekistan resided in Russia, 2.5 million migrants from Ukraine, about 1 million migrants from Tajikistan, 0.7 million migrants from Kazakhstan, 0.55 million migrants from Belarus, 0.5 million migrants from Azerbaijan, 0.55 million from Moldova, 0.5 million from Armenia and 0.5 million migrants from Kyrgyzstan (EDB Centre for Integration Studies, 2015a). Unofficial assessments claim that in Russia the number of migrant workers alone is 5–6 million (about 7% of the total Russian employed workforce).
In the EAEU, a citizen of any member state is eligible to work in another member state without being subject to licensing and quota regimes. The labour migrants and their family members enjoy medical protection and access to educational facilities (EDB Centre for Integration Studies 2012; Vinokurov, Pereboyev, 2013; EDB Centre for Integration Studies 2015a). The national validation of diplomas is no longer needed, except the legal, pharmaceutical, medical, and educational domains. What the EAEU has managed to create within the last few years is actually a substantial achievement.
At the moment, the two common labour markets functions side by side – a well-developed and mature European one and a nascent Eurasian one. In our opinion, due to the extreme sensitivity of labour migration, this issue should be left off the EU-EAEU agenda for now. At the same time, the issue of the mobility of pensions should be dealt earlier and independently in relation to the general labour migration issues.
Proposal: An EU-EAEU agreement on the mobility of pensions based on the principle of proportionality (proportional pension accrual).
The term “portability of supplementary pensions” (or “mobility of pensions”) refers to the transferability of occupational pension rights and is particularly important in the context of increasing worker mobility, in particular mobility by the self-employed. A supplementary pension is a retirement pension provided for in the rules of a supplementary pension scheme established in conformity with national legislation and practice.
World Bank and Eurasian Development Bank experts in their recent joint report suggest mechanisms for the CIS region to tackle pension problems of migrant workers (EDB Centre for Integration Studies, 2014). This theme is relevant for both the EU and the EAEU and can become an issue in mutual cooperation.
One of the core rights in the European Union is unrestricted workforce mobility. This right is ensured through regulations designed to coordinate national social security schemes. The regulations are now also effective in the EEA countries (Norway, Liechtenstein, and Iceland) and Switzerland. Currently these regulations cover early retirement as well as traditional retirement benefits. Note that in the EU they are mostly focused on coordination, rather than harmonisation and unification, of national pension schemes. This means that each EU country is entitled to preserve its own national pension scheme.
According to the European Commission official information (European Commission, 2015b), every country where a pensioner has been insured for at least one year will pay him an old-age pension, when he reaches its national pensionable age. For example, if a pensioner has worked in three countries, he will get three separate old-age pensions. The pension will be calculated according to pensioner’s insurance record in each country: the sum he will receive from each of these countries will correspond to the length of his social security coverage there. Even if a pensioner has worked in several countries, he should apply for his pension in the country where he lives, unless he never worked there. In the latter case, a pensioner should apply in the country where he last worked.
In 2014, the European Parliament approved an EU Directive designed to improve the acquisition and preservation of supplementary pension rights of persons moving within the EU (KPMG, 2014). Under the new legislation, EU workers may now enjoy full international portability of pension rights when moving abroad. Conditions governing the acquisition of pension rights are strengthened to the effect that, where a vesting period and/or a waiting period is applied, the total combined period shall not exceed three years. The minimum age for vesting shall not exceed 21 years.
National measures should ensure that the vested pension rights of outgoing workers can remain in the scheme in which they vested. However, schemes also have the option of paying the worker a capital sum up to a certain nationally established threshold and with the worker’s informed consent, including as regards applicable charges. Outgoing workers’ and their survivors’ dormant pension rights or their values should be treated in line with the value of the rights of active scheme members, or the development of pension benefits currently in payment, or by other means which are considered fair treatment.
Pension portability is an urgent issue that should be solved promptly through a common pension space. Russia and, to a lesser degree, Kazakhstan, serve as magnets for millions of labour migrants. According to the Russian Federal Migration Service, nearly one third of all migrants coming to Russia are of pre-retirement or retirement age. Hence, we are talking about 2-2.5 million migrants out of the total pool of 6-7 million. For this reason, pension issues are of high importance. Riskfree 100% portability of pension rights and assets of employees and the self-employed between donor countries and recipient countries is critical both to migrant workers and for sustainable economic development of states involved in Eurasian economic integration.
To implement the common pension space within the EAEU, experts have identified several conditions that make this project essential. Several options for introducing the common pension space have been considered. Currently, the Eurasian Economic Commission coordinates the work on the draft Treaty on Pension provision (information as of April 2016). A complicated system might ensue as a result of drastic differences of national pension legislations. Tentatively, the socalled ‘base pensions’ would be paid the states of residence, while the voluntary component and the so-called ‘stage’ components can be allocated based on the principle of proportionality.
According to Pension Fund of Russia (PFR) statistics, in 2014 there were 265,241 pensioners living abroad who received a Russian pension. The total paid out to these persons was RUB 31.4 billion. Most Russian pensioners living abroad are in Germany – 96,900, followed by Israel – 40,500, and Latvia – 21,500, but there are no agreements between Russia and these countries; the same is true of the USA, Finland, and Canada, despite the large number of Russian pensioners living there (PFR, 2015). The distribution of labour pensions, according to Russian Federation legislation, is independent of the beneficiary country and citizenship. Cooperation with particular countries in pension security is carried out in accordance with special contracts (agreements). In 2010 the PFR was executing 14 international pension security agreements of the Russian Federation with 18 countries.
The agreements with Lithuania, Georgia, Estonia, Slovakia, Romania, Hungary, and Mongolia are based on the territorial principle, according to which the pension security of citizens is carried out according to the legislation and at the expense of the beneficiary country. Mutual accounts are not settled. The agreements between the Russian Federation and Bulgaria, Spain, Belarus, and Ukraine are based on the proportional principle, under which each side pays pensions according to the pension rights acquired in that country.
Payments of Russian Government Pensions to Russian citizens living in Israel are processed through Israel Post. The Postal Bank enables pensioners to receive their pensions in Israel, to 11 receive their pension payments in Israel directly into their accounts, without commissions and at preferred exchange rates. Pension payments are transferred via SWIFT, by the pension provider in Russia. The pension sums are converted from roubles to dollars according to the representative exchange rate of the dollar in Russia.
Proposal: Reciprocal recognition of professional certificates and degrees between the EU and the EAEU (with a number of exemptions).
EU and the EAEU member states have different practices for recognition of academic and professional qualifications. Progress in mutual recognition would be helpful to improve the mobility of labour. The main question is: To what extent is the mutual recognition of professional certificates and diplomas possible? While the priority vector should be for the expansion of mutual recognition, it is evident that a number of exemptions will remain.
In 1979 the European Community states signed the UNESCO Convention on Recognition in the European Region. Then in 1997, the Council of Europe signed the UNESCO Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications concerning Higher Education in the European Region (Lisbon Recognition Convention; it was also ratified by Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan). Mutual recognition of professional qualifications is regulated in the EU by a General Directive (General System of Mutual Recognition of Professional Qualifications) and additional instruments (the European Qualifications Framework/Professional Qualifications Directive) which do not cover third-country nationals; as well as national, bilateral, and multilateral agreements, etc. (Plimmer, 2004; Galaktionov, 2004).
Mutual recognition in the EU does not mean that the rules are the same in all member states. It means acceptance of the standards that are the norm in all the other member states in the Union, and the principle relies heavily on the political willingness of member states to respect the principle of free movement across technical barriers (Plimmer, 2004).
Within the EAEU, recognition processes are regulated by several agreements signed by the CIS countries (Agreement of the Commonwealth of Independent States on the Mutual Recognition of Higher / Higher Professional Education, Minsk, May 31, 2013), several other agreements of the CIS and Eurasian Economic Community member states, and several intergovernmental agreements).
The process of recognition of education certificates among EAEU member states is particularly urgent for Russia, mainly because of two factors: heavy outflow of qualified workers from Russia and the migration into Russia of Russian-language population from the CIS countries. The EU experience of professionals’ free movement within the Single Market is very useful for the EAEU.
What about cooperation between the EAEU and EU member states? We can name only a few agreements on mutual recognition of education documents between Russia and some EU countries (France, Italy, Romania). As concerns the recognition of third countries’ diplomas, each EU country follows its own national rules. The European Commission and the Eurasian Economic Commission could start a dialogue on mutual recognition instruments between the EU and EAEU.
Proposal: A truly large-scale educational exchange programme between the EU and EAEU; a “Chokan Valikhanov” educational exchange programme for the EAEU, modelled after Erasmus Mundus.
Cooperation in the educational sphere is largely based on academic mobility, which means a vigorous exchange of undergraduate and postgraduate students, PhD students, researchers, and both younger and senior lecturers, among educational institutions worldwide.
The main instrument of education exchange between the EU and EAEU member countries is the Erasmus Mundus program. However, the exchange flows are still low. There is a huge and untapped potential in the EU-EAEU education exchange for undergraduates, graduate students, Ph.D. students, lecturers, and researchers, in particular in the under-35 age group.
The population of the EAEU member states has a strong interest in education in Europe. As the EDB Integration Barometer demonstrates (EDB 2015b), 20% of the Armenian population would prefer to get an education for themselves or their children in Germany, 21% in France (in 2014 the preferences were 14% and 12%, respectively). In Russia, 14% are interested in Great Britain (in 2014 this parameter was 23%). In Belarus: 16% prefer Great Britain, 14% Germany. In Kazakhstan: 15% of the population prefers Germany, 13% Great Britain. The population of Tajikistan shows growing interest in Great Britain (from 5% in 2014 to 15% in 2015) and Germany (from 7% in 2014 to 18% in 2015).
Incidentally, the winners of Kazakhstan’s Bolashak government-sponsored scholarship programme prefer to study in Europe. Up to 50% of Bolashak recipients studied in Europe, compared with 5% in East and Southeast Asia (plus 28% in the United States and 9% in Russia) (Vinokurov, 2013, based on the Centre for International Programs (Bolashak’s administrator) data).
The EAEU should adopt the European experience, which has proved to be very effective in scaling up educational exchanges. Strengthening educational ties – from secondary school, undergraduate, postgraduate, and academic exchanges, to the harmonisation of curricula and the mutual recognition of graduation certificates – is a key instrument of long-term integration. A programme of mass secondary school, university, postgraduate and academic exchanges, which would be similar to, for example, Europe’s Erasmus Mundus programme, still needs to be developed and launched.
We suggest a large-scale programme of educational exchange with the EAEU which could be named after Chokan Valikhanov, a Kazakhstani explorer and geographer who received his education in Tomsk, Russia (Vinokurov, 2013). Within this programme, co-financing procedures could be established, comprising monies from families, state budgets, and universities. It could be structured as a system of grants which would cover, in full or in part, the expenses of studying abroad for one or two semesters. The primary task would be to make the programme a large-scale one, with an annual intake of tens of thousands of students.
As concerns EU-EAEU exchanges of students and educators, the current Erasmus Mundus exchanges should be expanded manifold. Russia, Kazakhstan, and Belarus are currently middleincome countries. There is a sizeable segment of households which is quite able to pay a certain share of expenses. Truly large-scale educational exchanges can be attractive for both sides, resulting in hundreds of thousands of students and faculty crossing the borders yearly. One of the problems to be overcome is the monodirectional nature of the current academic exchanges: the flows to the EU are several times larger than vice versa.

Universal City, CA: Universal Pictures, 1955. Revised Final Draft script for the 1956 film. Copy belonging to the script supervisor, Adele Cannon, profusely notated throughout in holograph ink and pencil. Laid in is a vintage black-and-white studio photograph from the film, featuring the Creature and people in peril.
Third installment in the "Gill-man" series, after "Creature from the Black Lagoon" (1954) and "Revenge of the Creature" (1955). After a laboratory fire severely damages the Creature's gills, the head of the research team (Morrow) suggests an operation that will allow their subject to breathe air and walk on land. The operations seems successful, until a violent confrontation that leaves the Creature badly injured. Alone in alien territory, the Gill-man shuffles off into the sea in anticlimactic resolution.
Where the first two films employed then-genre bending 3D effects, this conclusion to the series was issued in 2D. Champion diver Ricou Browning again portrays the creature in the underwater sequences, and Don Megowan as the land-walker. The Creature is perhaps the most popular of the underwater monsters of cinema, rivaling Wes Craven's "Swamp Thing" (1982).
Salmon titled wrappers, noted as FINAL SCREENPLAY on the front wrapper, dated August 22, 1955. Title page present, undated, with a credit for screenwriter Ross. 172 leaves, with last page of text numbered 95. Mimeograph, with yellow, blue, and pink revision pages throughout, dated variously between 8/29/55 and 9/22/55, and mimeograph scene notations on the verso of nearly every page. Pages and wrapper Very Good plus, bound with two silver screw brads. Photograph Very Good, with staple holes and creases.

Spring is here! Take over the storage rooms, go through your junk drawer, clean out your closets. It’s time to get rid of all your winter weight, there are probably several things hiding in your storage room that you don’t need. Make a pile and have a garage sale, whatever doesn’t sell – donate it.
Conquer your junk drawer. The best advice I can give you is get rid of it! Have a specific place for your belongings, if there is something in your junk drawer that you haven’t used in the last 6 months give it away or throw it out. If you find something you didn’t even know you had, that probably means you don’t need it so toss it away. Clutter brings people down, the kitchen is the heart of home therefore keep it healthy.
A healthy kitchen = happy home!
Such a great ideas for home maintenance.I appreciate it.
Great post, you have pointed out some superb points, I also think this is a very wonderful website.

A few years ago, before a lot of Utah names were bigger stars, I photographed them as part of a talent contest for Utah’s Stadium of Fire. Jenn Blosil, Imagine Dragons, and Lindsey Stirling all stood out back in this 2011 contest as extra talented and as crowd favorites. Well to commemorate Jenn Blosil’s recent win as one of the top 10 on American Idol, I thought I’d pull up some of these past images to share. Congrats to her on her great win.
So here is Jenn in 2011, and she really rocked the stage that night.
And her sister, Chelsea sang with her. A few years later, Chelsea and I and a few other musicians played at a soi·rée party together. She sang and played the guitar that night and was quite good.
Here is Lindsey Stirling performing. This was the first time I’d seen any of these musicians perform, but they’ve all continued to rise and do great work.
I donated some big photographic prizes as part of the whole event, and had a blast hearing everyone play and photographing all these musicians. Here’s an outtake of some of the contestants waiting to hear the winning results back stage. You can see Jenn and Chelsea Blosil and Lindsey Stirling in this shot.
And here are a few of my early images of Imagine Dragons that night, just before they hit it big with their hit single.
I posted about this even on my blog and I’ll link that here. If you need a photographer for your next concert or commercial event, give me a call, 801-728-3317.

I work for a small video production company based in Australia. We shoot a lot of travel-based content and sometimes the story takes us to the USA. There seems to be a grey area with the visa scenario that I have never been able to get a straight answer on.
If the work is for another country/region and you are being paid by that country into a bank account of that country, what type of visa do you need to be on?
As you can see, these visas are appropriate for news and informational programs, as opposed to programming that is primarily for commercial or entertainment purposes. Obtaining O visas for key personnel for entertainment projects is a specialized topic and should be done by US-based immigration lawyers who specialize in working with the entertainment industry.
Legally speaking, if you're doing any kind of "work" in the US, meaning pretty much anything that doesn't involve sitting around in meeting rooms, you're supposed to get a nonimmigrant work visa. This is the case regardless of who is paying you, and even if you aren't being paid at all (eg. internships). And as you've found out, getting one of these involves a world of pain.
All that said, practically speaking, as long as you keep your trips pretty short, odds are very high you'll be fine with a regular ESTA or B1/2 visa, just state your itinerary and that you're going there to travel, see the sights, etc. If quizzed about your video gear (highly unlikely, because the people quizzing you at immigration won't know about it!), state that you're a keen photo/videographer. All of this is perfectly true, and things may only get sticky if you're asked who is paying for all this and they don't take "I am" as an answer.
Yes, there is a small chance you'll run into trouble, be denied entry and need to apply for visas whenever you go to the US. However, a travel company I used for also did lots of video production in the US, and AFAIK they both used VWP/B1/B2 and never had any issues. YMMV.

Finally also in Italy obtainable Amazon Hearth TV Stick the Amazon various to Chromecast of Google.
1 Okay, however what is Amazon Hearth TV Stick?
Okay, however what is Amazon Hearth TV Stick?
There’s not a search button among the many apps to install however only classes the place the varied apps are divided, and that is very inconvenient to search for them or to know if that determined App is or not within the Amazon Store!
Compared to the much appreciated Chromecast there’s a distant management, helpful also to have the ability to play video games like Hungry Shark Evolution, Pac-Man 256, Crossy Street, Hill Climb Racing and lots of others.
At technical degree it’s outfitted with a Quad-Core processor with 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of space for storing, which allow a clean streaming of with out interruptions.
Very fascinating is the potential for enjoying immediately with the distant management with games like Hungry Shark Evolution, Pac-Man 256, Crossy Street, Hill Climb Racing and lots of others.
In contrast to Chromecast by Google, Amazon Hearth TV Stick is bought including devoted remote control and is the one one that lets you stream Amazon providers on your TV ( Prime Video and Music Limitless )!
To install it simply join the system to the TV by way of HDMI, to the electrical outlet after which join it to the Internet by way of Wi-FI and that's it. Alternatively, you possibly can join it directly to a USB socket on your TV as an alternative of using the facility adapter, however even when it works, the alert message appears telling you that the power provided shouldn’t be sufficient and recommends attaching it to its unique charger. Despite this it really works perfectly, however so as not to danger it after the primary exams I related it to its energy provide.
I also favored the fact that as soon as configured, in the event you take away it from a TV and set up it on another, remaining beneath the wifi coverage of the same network, no configuration shall be required, you may be prepared to use.
As quickly as you start it’s going to let you select the language, access the wifi community, examine for updates and then ask you to verify whether to make use of it instantly with the account with which you got it already set, phenomenal! Simply end the configuration and you’re already in the primary menu.
To begin with I installed [amazon_textlink asin=’B00ODIASKC’ text=’Amazon Fire TV Remote App’ template=’ProductLink’ store=’amazonscont0e-21′ marketplace=’IT’ link_id=’b16d203c-5a81-11e8-8f05-09b3663572ba’] on my smartphone, because the distant management is practical and intuitive, however not being backlit originally I didn't have much domesticity with the keys and furthermore with the smartphone app we will use the keyboard , very useful particularly within the first configuration of the installed apps to insert mail and password to the varied Netflix, Spotify.
Navigation is fluid, only the beginning of larger purposes makes us wait a couple of seconds, however by no means thoughts, it's simply as well then during use and fluid.
The maximum resolution is full HD but only if your connection is sweet and secure. With my precise 10mb I see that there are not any issues, but when the community is clogged the films start grainy, then they settle in Full HD after a number of seconds.
It’s also suitable with Kodi the mediaplayer opensource par excellence born initially for Xbox and then exported to totally different units.
Obviously Amazon does not help this program, indeed, it even removed it from its market dedicated to Hearth TV to attempt to limit its unfold, to try to get customers to use their obvious streaming providers. For the same purpose that it blocked the sale of Chromecast from their website years ago, before the first Hearth TV in America was bought.
Amazon Hearth TV Stick € 39.99 for customers Amazon Prime or € 59.99 at full worth.
Amazon Hearth TV Stick has the advantage of having the remote management compared to Chromecast which doesn’t have it. With Amazon Hearth TV Stick you may as well benefit from Amazon Prime Video I still should attempt with my Chromecast to see if you need to use this service or not. I will maintain you up to date, if in case you have already tried, let me know within the feedback.
On the compatibility aspect with the opposite apps, we say that probably the most famous above work on both units.
Both will not be capable of transmit in 4K, however for this reason Google helps you out by providing you the Ultra Chromecast variant at twice the worth and with the one difference it is ready to transmit in 4K.
Contemplating the sale worth of solely € 39.99 in case you are a Prime consumer and the varied prospects of use, including the set up of Kobi, I feel it’s actually a legitimate product that I I might advise you.
Runner, beer drinker, pc science, know-how, images, power saving, residence automation and automation, all the things that revolves around the Internet.

The Real Estate Council of Alberta urges consumers considering alternative financing options to be vigilant when it comes to seller financing. While “traditional” lending may not always be an option when purchasing a home, there are things to be aware of if you go looking for financing outside of typical lenders. Incidents of fraud or misleading behaviour is on the rise in Alberta which is worth taking note about.
Seller financing, also known as vendor take-back mortgage, is a type of mortgage where the seller lends fund to the buyer in order to purchase the property. A Rent to Own agreement falls into this category – and should be carefully drafted/reviewed by a lawyer prior to being signed by either party.
Hire your own licensed real estate brokerage: a licensed real estate professional must act only in your best interests; above their own interests and those of other people. Your own representation can make sure your interests are looked after if you encounter a seller’s real estate agent offering seller financing. Consumers can find out whether or not an individual is licensed by using RECA’s Find a Professional tool on the RECA website.
Verify the property title: it is always good to know exactly who owns the property and what is registered on title, particularly a mortgage. If a substantial mortgage is registered on title, then the funds the seller claims they will lend you may be the bank’s funds, not their own. This is another red flag. You can search titles online through Service Alberta’s Spatial Information System.
More information and specific scams can be found on RECA’s website. Find out more about mortgage fraud in general with our Mortgage Fraud Awareness and Prevention resources.

For my Senior year internship, I wanted the create something that I always wanted to do: folding wing aircraft that uses a camera to follow around you.
Let me mind you, this is just a post about my project that I have to do (proof of submission) and I want to share what I did. If you don't like that, it's cool.
So I originally got the idea from DLG(Discus Launch Glider) as it only used your body to fly. I wanted to see if the same principle could be applied to a spear throw of some sorts. Let me mind you; I am a broke high schooler so I want to make everything for cheap. I'm so broke that I didn't even purchase push rods for the rudders. I tried using pull-pull but failure every where.
This is the hinge that I redesigned for the wings to be able to fold in.
I know It looks bad but I just wanted to try it. When I tried it, the plane didn't fly at all as the wings didn't do anything to produce lift. I thought I could make the wings thin like real gliders but I forgot I'm not good enough for that. I wanted the wings to be small enough so that it didn't protrude out enough on the sides for the looks and a smaller moment of inertia so that a single rubber band could open the wings out. OHH let me mind you that this is the first time I made a plane and I used foam board. I still haven't flown a plane ever.
Do whatever you with with this information.
Secondly, to recover from the failure, I just wanted to make plane that worked. Therefore, I used the mini sparrow plans and made the plane. It came out pretty well.
It looks like a UAV/Pigeon but it's cool overall so I liked it.
And as the title said, I wanted to put facial recognition on it so that it follows a face when throw it. I'm using a raspberry pi zero w($5 easy steal) and OpenCV with haar cascade of the frontal face. I'm still making this so I'm not done yet or will I ever be?
Thank you for just looking at this briefly lol.
Get some new ideas and don't be afraid to make stupid things like these.
I am short on time at the moment but will come back to read this. I was actually thinking of creating something like this yesterday night, ironic .

A former German nurse serving a life sentence for murdering patients by injecting them with a deadly medication is now suspected of killing more than 100 people.
If he is found guilty, this would make him one of the nation’s worst serial murderers.
Prosecutors in the northern German city of Oldenburg said on Thursday that toxicological investigations have identified a further 16 deaths that the nurse, identified as Niels H under Germany’s strict privacy laws was responsible for.
In August, Oldenburg police said they believed that the 40-year-old H may have killed an additional 84 patients.
An Oldenburg court sentenced H to life in prison in February 2015, in six cases of murder or attempted murder.
Prosecutors have signaled plans to bring more charges against H in 2018.
The bodies of scores of former patients treated by the suspect have been exhumed as part of the investigations into the deaths at the hospitals in Oldenburg and the city of Delmenhorst.
However, many of the patients who died have since been cremated.
During his 2015 trial, the former nurse confessed to murdering more patients during his career, prompting police to establish a special commission to investigate deaths at two clinics where he worked.
