I'm so sorry I wasn't feeling well this morning.

When I last checked in I mentioned a new book in the works, one focusing on poker and popular culture that will be bringing together a lot of the poker-related writing I’ve done over the last decade-plus both here on the blog and via other outlets.
As I’ve mentioned, the book will be called Poker & Pop Culture: Telling the Story of America’s Favorite Card Game. While it discusses the history of the game it will primarily focus on cultural representations of poker -- i.e., “mainstream” depictions of the game that also tell the story of poker’s significance and attitudes toward the game.
As I continue to work on the book I’ve come to realize every time I think about posting something here on the blog, I’m better served not doing so and instead saving it “for the book.” Truth be told, it isn’t true that everything I might write about here belongs in the book, but I’m still at an early enough stage where I’m more inclined to include more than exclude when it comes to envisioning Poker & Pop Culture.
It’s great fun, let me tell you, thinking about what I want to include and still sitting here at a point where most of the different possible versions of the book still happily co-exist in my jingle-brain.
That said, I know that way of thinking about the book isn’t going to last much longer, as the book will, in the end, be of reasonable length. I remember interviewing James McManus back in 2009 shortly after he’d published Cowboys Full and him telling me how his original draft had been around 1,000 pages. I’m quickly realizing how if I included everything I could end up with something similarly unwieldy, and so am already in the process of trimming back as I expand.
I guess I’m also saving “for the book” my finite supply of energy for writing about poker, which I’m also continuing to do elsewhere as part of my regular workload. I additionally keep teaching my poker-related American Studies courses every semester at UNC-Charlotte, which also takes away from the time I might have spent on here scribbling over here.
I’ll keep checking in here, though, when I can, and promise once the manuscript has been submitted to do so more often, particularly as we get nearer to publication. | 2019-04-19T08:51:12 | http://hardboiledpoker.blogspot.com/2018/05/for-book.html |

The Verve Team spent Saturday and Monday trying the coffee options in Vermillion. (Left to right) Ali Boysen is the Verve Assistant Editor, Lauren Soulek is the Verve Editor and Sara Cappiello is the Verve Designer. They decided their favorite coffee came from Latte Da.
In this new section, the Verve Team — consisting of Lauren Soulek, Ali Boysen and Sara Cappiello — ventures out to try businesses, restaurants, products and trends so you don’t have to! This week, we ranked coffee shops around Vermillion. At each stop, we ordered a specialty drink, a recommended drink and a common drink college students enjoy: the caramel macchiato. We ranked the shops based on taste, presentation and atmosphere.
Starbucks, the only chain in this list, came last. Their newest cloud macchiato tasted burnt and took home least favorite on our list. Since it is in Hy-Vee, it doesn’t have much of an ambiance and is a more grab-and-go coffee place.
While Cafe Brulè has a welcoming atmosphere of a big city cafe, the pretty coffee wasn’t the most exciting. Their specialty drink didn’t have enough oomph, but their other two drinks hit the spot.
Bru2 is one of the newest coffee shops in Vermillion and offers similar coffees to Cafe Brule, because they’re owned by the same people. While they tasted fine, they didn’t blow us away.
Even though it’s a university coffee shop, UBrew has tasty coffee. This coffee is for those who don’t like it too strong, but even then you can request extra espresso shots. They offer a simple coffee that always hits the spot.
The Bean is a fun, modern cafe that gives you the choice of peaceful studying or lively conversation with friends. Not to mention their drinks had beautiful designs and were tasty and flavorful. There’s a reason that they’re usually busy!
Latte Da is a hidden gem on Cherry Street that many don’t talk about. This little shop boasts numerous specialty coffees that are simply delicious. Plus, it’s a nice place to chat with friends or curl up and read a good book. | 2019-04-26T14:20:37 | http://volanteonline.com/2019/03/verve-adventures-where-can-you-get-the-best-cup-of-joe-in-town/ |

Although he’s applied for jobs, 22-year-old Yousefi has faced challenges common among refugees when seeking work: a language barrier and no local work experience or references. He’s just started a part-time job with tea company Chaigaram, which provides employment to refugees and aims to help them better integrate into the UK.
Yousefi is one of an estimated 118,995 refugees living in the UK, many of whom face extreme difficulties in finding a job, never mind returning to their previous professions. But businesses and social enterprises like Chaigaram are trying to change this. Pranav Chopra, Chaigaram’s founder, says: “By employing refugees to run tea stalls across London’s food markets it allows them to boost their English, regain confidence and work on skills required to enter the UK job market.” At the moment, Chaigaram’s sales don’t cover costs – Chopra funds it – but he expects them to soon.
Some entrepreneurs have personal experience of the struggle to find work as a refugee. Mursal Hedayat, for example, witnessed the plight of her mother, a civil engineer who not only had to abandon her possessions and social connections when she fled Afghanistan for the UK in 1994, but also the professional identity she’d worked hard to build. “Settled in one of the world’s most developed economies, she encountered numerous barriers to using her ample skill and experience for the benefit of herself or society,” says Hedayat. These included no recognition for her overseas qualifications and lack of UK-based experience.
Instead, Hedayat says, her mother spent years either unemployed or underemployed. Spurred on by her mother’s experience, last year Hedayat set up Chatterbox, a language tutoring service that employs refugees whose language skills are often in high demand. So far it has trained more than 40 refugee tutors and provided them with more than 500 hours of employment while paying the Living Wage Foundation hourly rate.
Another organisation offering refugees a step into a longer term career is the social enterprise Bread & Roses. Set up by friends Sneh Jani and Olivia Head in May last year, it trains refugee women in floristry, and provides them with the opportunity to learn English, develop skills and build their confidence – with the overall ambition of helping them find employment. The women start by arranging jam jars of flowers and move up to creating carefully cultivated bouquets and posies, which range from £30 to £70 and are sold to individuals and organisations. They receive expenses to participate in the programme. The money that is made on the flowers sold funds their training.
Bread & Roses trained seven women in its last programme, and will start the next programme in October. Jani says the duo have learned from their first year and will make changes such as extending the training from six weeks to 11 weeks, and being stricter about who can join. “Some couldn’t work as it would affect their benefits, two were on employment support and couldn’t work part-time, but they can all get a lot from it.” Ideally, she and Head want those on the course to be able to use the UK-based experience, and the skills they’ve learned, to take on paid employment, whether through Bread & Roses, or elsewhere.
Gaining employment is an integral factor in the successful resettlement and integration of refugees. | 2019-04-19T08:51:25 | https://www.theguardian.com/small-business-network/2017/aug/11/hiring-refugees-amazing-wealth-talent-barriers-entrepreneurs |
Gone are those days when Bangladesh was counted among those teams who are considered the soft opponents. From the 2015 World Cup, the side has shown immense improvement with which they played the quarter-final and the semi-final of the two major International Cricket Council (ICC) 50-over tournaments.
Bangladesh’s veteran all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is sitting quite optimistic about his team’s chances in the forthcoming mega-event which is scheduled to be hosted by England and Wales. The wily cricketer believes that his side is carrying massive experience along with a pool of incredibly talented young crop of cricketers which would aid them to do well in the crunch moments.
Highlighting the weaknesses of the squad, the 32-year old player admitted the areas of concerns. But, the Jessore born is still confident of putting up a great show. Keeping in view the longevity of the tournament, Shakib urged his teammates to adopt consistency as the format adopted for this year’s World Cup tournament is extremely demanding. | 2019-04-22T10:05:53 | https://www.cricingif.com/stories/33700/Shakib-Al-Hasan-upbeat-about-Bangladeshs-chances-in-World-Cup- |

Liquid Entertainment’s new wedding entertainment is making a lot of noise.
Have you ever been killing it on the dance floor of a next level wedding, only for the lights to turn on at 11 pm and the DJ to tell you that it’s time to head out…because of a noise complaint? It’s every bride’s nightmare, but not uncommon, particularly in areas with pesky noise bylaws.
Luckily, there’s a revolution brewing in the Niagara wedding scene that could change all of that. You’re not going to hear it coming however. Well, unless you know who to ask.
In this case, it’s Niagara’s own Liquid Entertainment, which has partnered up with Silent Beats Events to bring the latest trend in wedding entertainment to Niagara. Silent discos! By delivering crisp and clear sound through wireless headphones Silent Beats Events ensures you and your guests can dance the night away and no one will be the wiser.
If you’re not convinced that a silent disco experience is right for your wedding, think again. In addition to letting the party go into the wee hours, your guests can also personlise their entire party experience. Silent Beats Events’ headphones access three tunable channels, which means that you can offer guests three distinct dance parties. Everyone from your 16-year old nephew to great-grandma will be happy. And, let’s be honest, the weddings that strike a chord with guests are the ones that speak directly to them.
Not unlike the total personalisation of all of their wedding entertainment services, Liquid Entertainment has made sure that its Silent Beats Events services are completely customisable to your needs. From launching a full-scale DJ battle mid-reception, to simply dropping off the Silent Beats Events wireless headphones to your reception venue, Liquid Entertainment can hook you up with everything needed to deliver the silent disco experience you’re looking for.
It’s only been in town for a few months, but the Silent Beats Events reviews are testament to the big statement it’s already making on the Niagara wedding scene. So, go ahead and get the party started. But, this time on your own terms. | 2019-04-23T10:15:52 | https://liquidentertainment.ca/know-online-wedding-planning-tools/ |
Ms. Parrott’s students worked on their Science Fair projects.
At our last meeting, the Cornish School Board approved the adjustment of our last day of school, with the making up of 3 snow days, to end on Friday June 14. Keep fingers crossed that we have no more delays or school cancellations, as either of the two will result in having to make up another day in June. Regardless of the last day, our Graduation date will remain as Saturday June 15 and everyone is invited to attend.
The School Board also approved the 2019-20 school year calendar. This will be posted to our website soon.

Renowned New York Gallery owner Murray Moss has collaborated with .MGX and Materialise in the creation of the first ever exhibition at the Victoria & Albert (V&A) Museum to solely feature 3D printed pieces: ‘Industrial Revolution 2.0: How the Material World will Newly Materialise’.
Founded in 1857, the V&A is regarded by many to be the world’s greatest museum of art and design, with collections that span 3000 years of history and focus on teaching the principles of good design. They now consider 3D printing significant enough to be worthy of an exhibition, and significant enough that they have acquired the Fractal.MGX table and the One_Shot.MGX stool for their permanent collection.
The exhibition will form part of London Design Week and showcase works by Stephen Jones, Patrick Jouin, Iris van Herpen, and many others. The pieces will be displayed in prominent positions throughout the museum, encouraging visitors to discover the futuristic creations in the context of their historical counterparts. If you”re curious about what to expect, simply browse the Moss website for a sneak peek.
“We are witnessing an ‘Industrial Revolution 2.0’.
Radical advances in digital and laser technologies, initiated by industry leader Materialise, Belgium, and applied to what is currently referred to as Additive Manufacturing, allow for the three-dimensional ‘printing’ of objects, a sophisticated fabrication process once reserved for prototyping but which is quickly becoming ubiquitous and is profoundly permeating all areas of our contemporary material world, including fashion and domestic furnishings, as well as transportation, medicine, and architecture.
Murray Moss is an American design entrepreneur, founder of the design art company Moss, and considered by many as one of the design world’s leading arbiters of taste. Wallpaper* Magazine named Murray Moss among the 150 Most Influential Taste Makers of the past 15 Years, while the International Herald Tribune called his store in SoHo (NYC) “the best design store in the world“.
Opening times: 10.00 to 17.45 daily 10.00 to 22.00 Fridays.

New York's famously fast-paced lifestyle inspired Richard Chai to collaborate with one of the city's many time-saving services: eBay Now. The designer created a tote bag that 200 lucky eBay Now customers in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens will get for free with any purchase off the site. The expandable bag fits all of your essentials and features an electric blue-and-white graphic pattern reflecting Chai's spring 2014 collection. Chai explained the design was meant to be a statement embodying a mix of NYC's tough reputation and underlying romanticism.
"I was inspired by geometric shapes and patterns, but doing them in a way that feels soft and fluid," he told us.
See eBay Now's same-day local delivery service at work and get a sneak peek at Chai working on his spring 2014 collection in the exclusive video below.
The limited launch lands September 5 in New York so you better mark your calendars if you want them first—those city shoppersmove quickly. If you can wait, in October the totes will come free with all eBay Now orders, also including those in San Francisco, Bay Area Peninsula, and San Jose. | 2019-04-24T00:42:29 | https://www.elle.com/fashion/accessories/news/a23568/richard-chai-ebay-now-tote/ |
A highly interesting and recommendable ground-covering plant that's still a rarity. It was collected on a riverbank in the province Misiones in North Argentine by some Japanese, and it was named after the place where it was found: Micranthemum sp. "Montecarlo-3". This plant is also known under the name "New Large Pearl Grass", and in South America as "Bacopita". It looks like a larger version of Hemianthus callitrichoides, but it is also somewhat similar to "standard" Micranthemum umbrosum. It grows flat on the ground, forming a compact mat. The roundish leaves are a bit smaller and of a darker green than those of M. umbrosum. When planted in an elevated place, loose shoots will bow to the ground. This Micranthemum is easier in cultivation than Hemianthus callitrichoides.
You are buying 1 pot that will cover approx a 4" by 4" area. If you plant it in the pot, it will cover a 2" by 2" area.
Potted plants are better to start with then "bunched" plants as they have their entire root system intact which makes them less likely to go into shock when transplanted in your aquarium.
Potted plants are started in rock wool. To plant remove as much rock wool as possible. Most of the rock wool will pull off. If you have any left and want it off, shake the plants gently by holding it by the roots and shaking in water. Leaving some rock wool will help anchor the plant in your substrate.
Separate the plant into 1/8" pieces with roots and plant 1/8" to 1/4" a part in your substrate. This will leave room for the plant to propagate and spread. If you want instant gratification, you can plant closer. It will take more plant to fill in the area you want to cover when planting closer.
I really like this plant. The pot came in over flowing and very healthy. I have had this plant in my tank for a couple weeks and already see new growth. Great alternative to Dwarf Baby Tears which can be hard to grow in some aquariums.
Ordered three pots of Monte carlo after a failed attempt at growing Dwarf Baby Tears. Received them promptly, were in Fantastic condition...strong, healthy, and vibrant green......and BEST of all, she included an extra pot !! Service above and beyond !! I will not buy from anyone else from here on out ! THANK YOU !!
Absolutely love this plants and how easy it is to grow. I have tried many foreground plants, one being Dwarf baby tears and It did not do well for me. This plant looks a lot like dwarf baby tears once completely acclimated to being grown in substrate. If you are having any problems with other hard to grow foreground plants then this is the one to get. It takes the place of hard to grow plants like Glosso, Dwarf baby Tears, and Dwarf hair grass.
This is one of my favorite plants that i received, would definitely recommend!
I ordered 3 Monte Carlo plants and they arrived in great shape. Very healthy and green with amazing root systems on all 3. The price is very reasonable compared to other online stores that sell aquarium plants. | 2019-04-19T08:24:38 | https://shop.plantedaquariumscentral.com/Micranthemum-Tweedie-sp-Monte-carlo-great-foreground-plant_p_430.html |
Manganese Sulfate contains 31.5 Manganese and 18% sulfur. For soils deficient in Manganese (Mn), apply this fast-acting material.
Manganese sulfate can be broadcast, side banded or foliar sprayed. Apply according to soil test results or tissue analysis. Manganese is a micronutrient that is commonly deficient in soils with a pH level above 6.5. When your plants are lacking of this mineral, they exhibit visible symptoms of yellow or white areas between the veins of the leaves. To remedy this, you can apply manganese sulfate, which is one of the most common fertilizer sources of manganese. | 2019-04-21T02:40:18 | https://compostwerks.com/organics/soil-amendments/product/128128-manganese-sulfate-31-5 |
Food of Tuscany - A Healthy Appetite And Must Be Tried!
Tuscan cuisine is appreciated all over the world for its fine, natural and flavourful ingredients; it’s a typical expression of the Mediterranean diet, considered among others, the most wholesome and tasty, olive oil, pasta, fish and first choice meat. With this few basic ingredients, the Tuscan local chefs can create exceptional dishes.
Among the produce, of which Tuscany is of some importance, are white truffles, a much appreciated variety. Other ingredients, such as wild asparagus and herbage also contribute to the rediscover of simple, flavourful dishes (pappa al pancotto, ribollita, hearty vegetable soups), where olive oil is the star ingredient, strictly bought from the local olive press.
That easygoing, Italian way of life that visitors find so alluring and desirable, la dolce vita (the sweet life), is indisputably linked to the Italians’ instinctive knowledge of how to drink and eat well.
In today’s society, many ancient culinary traditions and characteristics of Italy’s distinct regional cuisines are still commonplace, even more so here than other parts of Europe.
Traditional recipes passed down through the family are worth their weight in gold. The dinner table is the scene of many conversations, debates and decisions; favourite foods evoke happy memories, good health and comfort.
Everyone who has ever been to Italy has fallen in love with its history, landscapes, art, architecture, and, of course, its FOOD! Even those who have never been to Italy already know Italian food in some shape, taste and form – who has never eaten pizza or spaghetti?
First, each region has its own culinary specialties and own versions of a common Italian dish. Something as commonplace as a pizza is made differently in Naples, Rome, Florence and Milan! And second, once you’ve tasted some of the regional dishes in Italy, you’ll want to discover what makes them particularly good, or different, from what you’ve tasted before so that you can recreate that dish once you’re back home.
Italian breakfast is quite different from American or English. Colazione (breakfast) is usually light: cappuccino (coffee and milk) and a brioche (sweet pastry), or simply espresso (black-short-strong coffee).
Pranzo (lunch) is the big meal except in the industrialized cities. It consists of antipasto (starter), a primo piatto (pasta, rice or soup), a secondo piatto (meat or fish) with contorno (vegetable or salad), then frutta (fresh fruit). Finish with espresso and maybe a grappa or amaro (strong digestive liqueur).
Cena (dinner) is similar to lunch. Nowadays there is a tendency of having a light lunch, then dinner becomes the major meal. Gelato (ice-cream) has hundreds of different flavours and can be enjoyed at anytime of the day as well as the granita (crushed ice with flavoured syrup).
There are thousands of ristoranti (restaurants): the most formal type of place to eat when one is not in a hurry, sometimes a little fancy and pricy. Trattoria and Osteria: less formal than a ristorante, where local specialties are served. Panineria: a sandwich bar, where a quick meal can be had at any time of the day. Pizzeria: is not only for pizza lovers!
Tuscany is the heartland of Italy with its foods reflecting the very best of Italy’s home cooking, its roots originating from cucina povera, or peasant cookery. The Tuscans are well known for their superior yet simple dishes, which arise from using the freshest available products. They believe in enhancing the purity and natural flavor of ingredients, rather than trying to camouflage with excess sauces and seasonings.
Tuscany is a large region, being made up of seacoasts, mountains, plains, villages and large cities, which all heavily influence its cuisine. A vast selection of seafood can be found along the coast, giving way to the invention of a famous seafood soup called Cacciucco whose ingredients may vary from day to day depending on the daily catch.
Almost everywhere in Tuscany, meat is grilled over open fires, but one of the most well known grilled dishes must be Bistecca Fiorentina. This is a perfectly cooked T-bone steak, which is often served with a splash of olive oil, or thinly sliced and topped with peppery arugula lettuce.
Wild game such as pheasant, rabbit, partridge and wild boar are plentiful across the Tuscan hills and have been hunted to supplement the meals of farmers for centuries.
Vegetables grow freely across the region, and the people have perfected methods necessary to bring forth their full flavour. Many vegetables are eaten raw, steamed and drizzled with olive oil and a little garlic, or cooked in a method called saltare. This method simply consists of gently steaming the vegetables, draining them, and then sautéing them briefly in olive oil, chile pepper and garlic. Artichokes, asparagus, spinach, fennel, broad beans and cannellini beans grow freely in kitchen gardens everywhere.
Tuscans are named the “bean-eaters” of Italy, as they are renowned for their love of beans. One particular favourite are early fava beans eaten raw or lightly steamed. The other favourite are dried white cannellini or toscanelli beans. The traditional method of cooking toscanelli is in a flask with olive oil and garlic and cooked over a dying fire overnight until they reach a creamy consistency.
Herbs grow wild across the Tuscan hills and are used constantly in various recipes, rosemary and sage being particular favourites. Driving across Tuscany, you can’t help but be amazed at the vast number of olive trees, growing everywhere from the flat, dry plains to up the sides of rocky hills. Good Tuscan olive oil is not considered something to be used for cooking, but is considered a condiment, and drizzled over almost everything from meats, vegetables and bread.
One can’t discuss the foods of this region without mentioning its pecorino cheese, or sheep’s milk cheese, ranging from a version as fresh as ricotta, or a piquant aged version. Tuscan bread, which is salt less, is a perfect accompaniment to the tangy cheese. I have also had pecorino toscano served after dinner with a crust of good bread and a dollop of honey from the hills. Bread is eaten with almost everything in Tuscany, and most commonly is made without salt. This is because historically it was found bread retained its freshness longer when salt was not added, and it has been made that way ever since. | 2019-04-18T23:11:25 | https://www.gustocycling.com/food-of-tuscany-a-healthy-appetite/ |
Sri Lanka Under 19 won by 27 runs in the 40 over game which played at Clots Cricket Club Ground in Colombo.
Australia Under 19 won the toss and elected to field first. Sri Lanka U19 was posted 183/8 runs ending the inning. Charith Asalanka scored 48 and Avishka Fernando posted 29. Damitha Silva (23) and Wanindu Hasaranga (21) was only other batsman coloring the inning.
Australian M. Kuhnemann was breached 3 wickets for 18 runs and JHYE Richardson was got 2 wickets for 27 runs of Sri Lanka.
Australia U19 in reply scored 156 all out in 38.3 overs with high scores posting by C. Hinchliffe (56), M. Renshaw (34) and L. Beckett (21). | 2019-04-21T00:47:41 | https://www.news.lk/news/sports-travel/item/3479-under-19-sri-lanka-beat-australia-by-27-runs-in-the-40-over-game |
“As it turns out I was able to work a championship game and it ended up being the last game of the championships, too, so that was really good,” Gutterman said.
▪ The cumulative attendance for the games was 44,022 — the most since 2012 (46,738) and the fourth most since football went to six classes in 2007. The attendance for each game was up except for in the Class A finals, which were played on Thursday night and drew about 600 fewer people than a year ago.
The most well-attended finals in the six-class era were in 2010, which featured a Class 4A matchup between Boyle County and Allen County-Scottsville that drew 13,167 people. It was the only championship game to crack five-figure attendance in the past seven seasons.
▪ For the first time since moving to six classes, each championship was won by a public high school. That hadn’t happened since 2000, when Male, Highlands, Boyle County and Danville all won titles. This year’s champions were Pikeville, Bowling Green, Male, Mayfield, Belfry and South Warren.
The last time four trophies were claimed by schools in two counties, as was the case with Pikeville and Belfry (Pike County) and South Warren and Bowling Green (Warren County) ,was 2012, when Newport Central Catholic and Highlands did it from Campbell County and Trinity and Central did it from Jefferson County. This year was the first time two sets of public schools pulled off that feat.
▪ You can have as much airtime as you’d like against Belfry; the boys representing Pond Creek Nation are more than happy to keep things grounded. In its three straight championship wins, Belfry has outrushed its opponents by a combined yardage of 983 to 116. Its opponents have the advantage through the air, outpacing the Pirates 378 to 9.
Belfry has never trailed during its finals win streak.
▪ Coach Brandon Smith’s two-year record as head coach at South Warren? 28-1. The one loss was by two points in the state semifinals to Central in 2014.
Longtime Tates Creek girls’ soccer assistant Ally Tucker has been named head coach of the program following the resignation of Bo Lankster in October.
Tucker, who was a goalkeeper at South Oldham and Transylvania, began assisting at Tates Creek in 2009. She began coaching club soccer while she was at Transy and knew she wanted to be a soccer coach from the moment she stepped on the field as a player.
Lankster was more than happy along the way to help Tucker prepare for an opportunity like this.
It’ll ease the pressure knowing a familiar face will be around; Lankster will rejoin the Tates Creek girls’ staff as an assistant.
“He’s got to be the best assistant coach in Kentucky,” Tucker said.
Tucker is the daughter of Cy Tucker, who retired from South Oldham at the end of 2014. Cy is the state’s all-time wins leader in girls’ soccer with 390 — more than 100 ahead of Ashland Blazer’s E.B. Lowman, who’s still active.
Scott Carmony, who led Butler’s football team to the 2011 state semifinals, was named the new head coach at Manual on Tuesday. He replaced Oliver Lucas, who stepped down after six seasons.
Carmony, an assistant at Tates Creek from 2002 to 2004, was Butler’s head coach from 2008 to 2012 and guided the Bears to a 32-27 record in that period, including an 11-3 finish in 2011.
Scott’s boys’ basketball team, projected to contend in the 10th Region, has kept its fans on their toes early.
The Eagles, 3-0 entering Friday’s game at Mason County, most recently defeated Harrison County 81-70. That outing was a welcome relief to head coach Brad Carr after Scott’s first two games — at Pendleton County and at Clark County — were decided in overtime, each by two points.
“We’re very lucky and very fortunate. ... We had to fight back in both games,” Carr said.
Jake Ohmer was key in both rallies. He scored 35 points and had five steals against Pendleton County, then followed that with a school-record 54 points on 21-for-31 shooting with six rebounds and three steals at Clark County.
“He scored 19 points in the fourth quarter (against Clark County) and I think he may have scored all of our points in overtime,” Carr said.
Ohmer is averaging nearly 40 points a game after scoring 30 in the Harrison County win.
Paul Laurence Dunbar this weekend will host The Grind Session, a high school basketball series that showcases top teams from across the nation. This is the fifth event of 20 in the series.
Victory Prep (Texas) will take on Hillcrest Academy (Ariz.) at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, followed by Athlete Institute (Canada) vs. Wilbraham and Monson Academy (Mass.) at 8 p.m. The Sunday slate features Word of God Academy (N.C). vs. Victory Prep at 1:30 p.m., then Athlete Institute vs. Hillcrest Academy.
University of Kentucky signee Wenyen Gabriel (W&M) will play in the event. DeAndre Ayton (Hillcrest), who sports offers from UK, Arizona, Kansas and San Diego State, will also be in town this weekend, as will Thon Maker (Athlete Institute), Rawle Alkins (Word of God) and Jarred Vanderbilt (Victory Prep), a major UK target for 2017.
The Herald-Leader’s Ben Roberts will have live coverage from the event.
▪ St. Francis sophomore Alexis Nelson scored 58 points — the most ever by a girls’ player from a Louisville school — in the Wyverns’ 61-45 win over Piarist in the St. Patrick Catholic Classic on Saturday. She finished with 78 on the day, scoring 20 in their loss to host St. Patrick later Saturday.
▪ Caroline Mefford of Fern Creek has nearly recorded triple-doubles twice in five games this season. She had 10 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists in Fern Creek’s season opener against Oldham County and finished with 25 points, eight assists and eight rebounds in its win over Doss last Friday. The Tigers are off to a 4-1 start for the second straight season.
▪ Sacred Heart defeated Seneca 101-21 last Thursday, the third time the Valkyries have scored 100 or more points against an opponent under Coach Donna Moir. Sacred Heart scored 107 in a win over Kentucky Country Day in January 1993 and 101 against Fern Creek in December 2001.
Notre Dame senior Morgan Hentz was named the Gatorade Kentucky Volleyball Player of the Year this week, the program’s first player to be recognized with that honor and the first individual to win the award who wasn’t from a Louisville school.
Hentz, who is committed to Stanford as a libero, finished the season with 465 kills, 476 digs and 41 blocks. Notre Dame reached the semifinals of the state tournament for the third straight year this season.
After 11 seasons at the helm of Bowling Green’s boys’ soccer program, Craig Widener announced his resignation from the position because he wants to spend more time with his family.
Widener led Bowling Green to the 2006 and 2014 state titles and seven region titles. This year, he guided the Purples to the state semifinals, where they fell to state runner-up Henry Clay. His 206-32-20 record makes for an 83.7 percent winning percentage, the best mark by any boys’ or girls’ soccer coach in state history.
In a lengthy, heartfelt post on Twitter, Widener wrote that this decision is one he’s “lost sleep, vacillated, and meditated on what to do more than any decision” he’s ever made in his life, but it was one a few years in the making.
He thanked Bowling Green, where he’ll continue to teach, for the opportunity to lead the program.
Small division (6-12 girls) — Scott County, 9:20 a.m.
Medium (13-16 girls) — Lexington Christian, 11:15 a.m.

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) and The Kennel Club in the UK (TKC) have joined together to run a hip scoring scheme for breeders, in order to test for canine hip dysplasia, the most common inherited joint problem of large breed dogs. This current system came into effect in 1984.
Dogs are scored from the age of 12 months, and can only be scored once in their lifetime.The BVA/TKC publish a list of Breed Mean Scores (BMS) for each breed, together with the number of dogs tested to date and the range of scores achieved. It is then recommended that breeders ensure their breeding stock have scores which are well below the BMS.
From an x-ray taken at the owner’s vets, the BVA scores each of the hip joints: the norberg angle (0-6); subluxation (0-6); cranial acetabular edge (0-6); dorsal acetabular edge (0-6); cranial effective acetabular rim (0-6); acetabular fossa (0-6); caudal acetabular edge (0-5); femoral head and neck exostosis (0-6); femoral head recontouring (0-6), thus each hip can receive a maximum score of 53 and overall score of 106. The lower the score the better, so 0/0 would be perfect, while 53/53 would mean that the dog had no hips at all!
Measures two features — the degree of congruence between the FH and acetabulum and the length of the CrAE which gives a relative indication of acetabular depth.
Evaluation is based principally on the degree of congruence between the femoral had and acetabulum. The general ‘fit’ of these two components is assessed by the relationship between the FHC and the underlying image of the DAE; the configuration of the cranial joint space is also taken into account, particularly at the lower end of the scoring scale, when abnormalities are relatively minor. The cranial joint space is seen as a radiolucent shadow between the CrAE and adjacent cranial articular margin of the FH. For a zero score the FHC must be medial to the DAE and the cranial joint space uniformly narrow, with the curve of the CrAE eactly following that of the FH.
Minor alterations in the shape, contour and possibly the length of the CrAE are generally believed to be indicators of poor articular congruence, while more severe changes are clearly consequences of chronic instability, abnormal marginal wear and remodelling of the joint. For a score of zero the CrAE should be convex, uniformly curved and match exactly the countour of the adjacent femoral head with no lateral or medial divergence of the cranial joint space.
On good quality radiographs, the DAE forms a well-defined density interface which traverses the fH almost vertically and extends a little beyond it cranially and caudally. The clarity with which it can be seen is highly variable. A minor change in the contour of the DAE, which is normal slightly curved, merits a score of 1, but small localised irregularities, seen only on radiographs of exceptionally high quality, are considered to be within normal limits.
Higher scores are related to definitive pathological changes associated with degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis), the smallest being minor exostosis, which is usually seen cranially.
The earliest detectable abnormalities of the CrEAR are either minor exostosis, usually in the form of a small, well-modelled osteophyte, or slight ’rounding off’ of the junction between the CrAE and DAE, which may be seen in the presence of a non-biblabiated CrAE.
Detectable bone deposition in the AF is almost always associated with marked subluxation and the amount tends to increase in proportion with the increase in the other radiographic hallmarks of secondary degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis). Objective numerical scoring of this criterion is difficult, but as changes are likely to be recorded only in dogs with a total score considerably higher than average, the importance of a high level of accuracy is diminished.
The CaAE is the segment of the acetabulum which is subject to the widest range of normal radiographic variation. Radiographic abnormalities are scored between 0 and 5 and changes are due mainly to exostosis with signs of wear being apparent only in advanced cases.
The normal FH should have a smooth rounnnnndish profile, but the shape may vary considerably.
This criterion is used to record the extent to which the FH shape is altered as a consequence of instability. Thus scores are likely to be awarded only in cases in which secondary changes are well established, when remodelling occurs as a result of the combined effects of periarticular new bone formation and loss of subchondral bone following total destruction of articular cartilage. | 2019-04-22T10:56:27 | https://britishdogbreeders.co.uk/hip-dysplasia-and-scoring-in-the-uk/ |
Hormone therapy programs aren’t only for women. Men experience a more gradual loss of hormones, mainly testosterone.

The methane gas they have produced could be enormous and have heated up the earth.
The vegetarian dinosaurs recognizable by their long necks and whip like tails and weighing from around 20 tons like the Apatosaurus and as high as 110 tons like the largest and the longest among them the Diplodocus, a genus of diplodocid sauropod dinosaur were widespread and are predominant species around 150 million years ago (Mesozoic Era) and they produced a lot of wind.
Scientists believe that ruminant herbivorous animals, just as in cows, methane-producing bacteria aided the digestion of sauropods by fermenting their plant food.
Microbes in the stomachs of ruminant species produce methane gas as they break down vegetable matter which is released as flatulence.
By measuring up the digestive wind of cows, they estimate that the population of dinosaurs, as a whole, produced 520 million tons of gas annually.
They suggest the gas could have been a key factor in the warming of the earth during those times.
“Indeed, our calculations suggest that these dinosaurs could have produced more methane than all modern sources, both natural and man made put together,” according to study leader Dr. Dave Wilkinson, from Liverpool John Moores University.
Methane is a more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, with a stronger ability to trap heat and is known to absorb infrared radiation from the sun, trapping it in the Earth’s atmosphere and leading to increased temperatures.
Expressing his surprise at the comparative figures, Dr. Wilkinson added that dinosaurs were not the sole producers of methane at the time.
Previous studies have suggested that the Earth was up to 10 degrees Celsius (18 degree Fahrenheit) warmer in the Mesozoic Era than today. | 2019-04-22T11:22:07 | https://affleap.com/giant-dinosaurs-flatulence-could-have-heated-up-the-earth-during-the-mesozoic-era/ |
Are memberships limited in number?
Yes, we limit membership to maintain a ratio of members-to-boats that assures everyone plenty of opportunity to use all of the boating days your membership provides, and even more as your spring and late season schedule permits, during the Rex Boating Club’s “nearly limitless” Off-Peak Season.
Will I get a boat on the most popular summer weekends and holidays?
Absolutely, as long as you plan ahead. Like reservations for court times (tennis) or tee times (golf), the earlier you reserve, the more likely you are to get your preferred reservation.
Members may make one reservation per Peak Season weekend, and the boating times on Saturday and Sunday begin with a choice of an AM or PM 5-hour session. If you want to go out on both weekend days, you may make a Standby reservation for the 2nd use.
Rex Boating Club limits the number and types of memberships each season, to assure that all members have plenty of opportunity to make the most of their memberships. We’ve learned that if you schedule within seven (7) days of your desired weekend use date you’re often successful, and we can often say “yes” for even “day of” requests make on Peak Season weekend days! Member usage is light most weekdays and normally allows up to 11 hours on the water.
Simply make your reservation 24/7 online using our real-time scheduling system to confirm the date of your choice. You will have plenty of opportunity to make the most of your Club membership.
Who can drive the boat?
Our insurance company requires an Authorized Operator to be a member no less than 25 years old.
Do I need boating experience to become a member?
No! In fact, most of our members had no boating experience before joining the Rex Boating Club. We specialize in creating safe, competent, confident boaters!
Included in your membership is a one-day safe boating class to earn you a lifetime Connecticut Safe Boater Certificate (SBC), an easy quiz for anyone. Out-of-state certificates are transferable.
Most importantly, your membership includes our private comprehensive on-water boat orientation and instructional session, which features a U.S. Coast Guard licensed Rex Boating Club training captain, on the same Club boats you will use all summer. By the end of the session, you will be comfortable and confident traveling about Norwalk Harbor, prepared to see and visit all of the exciting place and enjoy all of the boating fun that Long Island Sound offers.
How many guests may be brought on the boat?
The “captain” may invite as many guests as the Club’s stated capacity for a given boat. Most of our boats safely handle up to 12 people.
Are there additional costs or fees?
You only pay for the fuel you use. Boat instrumentation is used to determine fuel usage, saving you a visit to the fuel dock. You will receive an itemized statement listing fuel charges. CT sales tax applies to membership cost. A deductible applies in the event of damage.
While most members pay in full before boating each boating season, we do offer payment options. Membership and our season runs April 15th through October 15th. There is a 2% discount if you pay for membership by check; we also accept MasterCard, Visa, and American Express. Ask about our monthly payment plans, too. You can reserve your membership anytime with a refundable deposit. CT sales tax and fuel are additional.
Do I need special gear or equipment?
No, each boat is equipped with GPS, a depth finder, a VHF ship-to-shore radio, life jackets, and all other safety gear required by state and federal laws. Members may bring along their own fishing gear on boats designed for fishing. In addition, the Rex Marine Store offers convenience items like ice, soft drinks, snacks, and gear for tubing and other water sports.
Most of our Rex Boating Club crew members are college students who have a love for (and often a family background on) Long Island Sound waters. You will find them well-trained, professional, helpful, and friendly. They know that the Rex Boating Club’s only purpose is to provide safe, convenient boating fun for our members and their families and friends.
What am I responsible for when I’m done with the boat for the day?
Great question, glad you asked! Before you arrive, our dock managers will have fueled your boat and emptied the “head” (bathroom, in nautical terms). These are time consuming and not particularly pleasant tasks that we know our members would prefer not to do. Not all Boating Clubs offer these services, so be sure to ask if you’re considering other clubs! At Rex Boating Club, we’re happy to take care of these tasks for you.
How does Rex Boating Club keep its fleet looking and operating like new?
Boats require ongoing proper care and maintenance. This isn’t always easy and requires an excellent, full-service marine facility with a large parts inventory and a Service Department staffed with “factory-certified” techs. That’s what we have at Rex Marine Center!
A boat lift on site enables the boats to be hauled, often up to three (3) times per week for inspections, routine maintenance, proper cleaning, and, of course, emergency repairs, so a damaged boat gets back into the service of Club members properly and quickly. For a boating club to provide the highest levels of service, that its members deserve, these capabilities are absolutely essential.
If you are considering other clubs, be sure to verify these capabilities are on-site; most similar local clubs cannot match those found at Rex Marine Center. Without such capabilities, turn-key, consistently attractive, reliable, and well-maintained boats are not possible.
There are other boating clubs in Connecticut – how do I compare?
Once you have reviewed the online and brochure details of Rex Boating, you owe it to yourself to visit the facility, ideally by appointment. A visit is worth 10,000 words and we believe you’ll see the difference. I personally handle most facility tours, which are respectful of your time (we keep them brief) while encouraging you to spend as much time as you like, to get a good feel for who we are and how we run the club.
We also have an excellent Better Business Bureau rating and, if you ask friends or colleagues, or check online, you’ll find that the Rex Boating Club (established in 2005) has the same excellent reputation as Rex Marine Center, our family business since 1936, where I have been General Manager for over 30 years.
Why is boating better in Norwalk?
Boating is better in Norwalk because of the Norwalk Islands, one of only two large Island clusters in Long Island Sound. The Islands offer dozens of safe, protected anchorages, several quiet beaches to relax and catch some rays, as well as picnic and camping sites, bird-watching, beachcombing, scenic beauty, watersports sites, and very good fishing. All just a mile or so from Rex Marine Center, where you can travel just 10 – 15 minutes out yet feel like you’re a million miles away from your shoreside concerns.
Without the Islands, there is just open water – fine to travel through but lacking in things to do when compared to the Norwalk Islands. Adjoining towns are nice places to start from but our members and Rex Marine Center boaters tell us that the Islands are their favorite “go to” destinations. Plus, there are many Long Island and CT shoreline destinations within an hour of Rex Marine Center.

Has anyone heard of the Sporting Giants??
It was launched five years ago and is an X Factor meets Superstars recruitment drive for handball, rowing and volleyball, three “tall sports” aka tall people are needed!! Both Men and Women aged 16-25 were asked to come forward for testing, providing they had played sport to a good level and were taller than 6’3″ for men and 5’11” for women!
Nearly 4,800 people applied but that number was cut down through seven stages of assessment until 100 were added to the development programmes of the three sports.
With the 2012 Olympics now less than five months away, 17 Sporting Giants have already competed internationally, winning 13 medals. Eight of the group are on track to compete in London, including two of British Rowing’s best hopes, Helen Glover and Vicky Thornley. So lets look out for the ladies and spur them on!!!
That is a mega achievement that this Sports drive has actually found Olympic hopefuls!! This is much better case that X factor where the winners are usually heard of once and never again!!

The last few years have seen a large increase in coffee shops from Australia and New Zealand. Now it seems like every Londoner has a favourite place to grab a ‘Flat White’. However, a new coffee shop in the centre of Piccadilly shows that our Antipodean cousins are not the only ones who can do an excellent cup of coffee.
Kahve Dunyasi is a popular coffee chain in Turkey. Their shop in central London is their first British branch and for many Londoners, it will be their first taste of how coffee is made in Turkey (be warned – Turkish coffees pack a terrific caffeine jolt!).
For the best coffee experience, I would recommend getting table service (with free chocolate as an accompaniment). Along with strong Turkish coffee, the selection of sweets puts other coffee chains to shame. The chocolate brownie is served warm with a melting, gooey, chocolaty centre – perfect with a warm drink.
Weekends can get very busy with both hungry shoppers and Turkish expats, so try to stop by during the week. Be warned – having any of these powerful coffees in the evening may keep you up all night! | 2019-04-19T07:01:14 | https://www.spottedbylocals.com/london/kahve-dunyasi/ |
One of the central beliefs held by people who advocate a market based worldview is that, somehow, markets are apolitical, they are antiseptic, they are objective. This is nonsense. It is dangerous nonsense.
That markets work according to rules does not make them objective or even impersonal. Rules are human constructs. Ergo markets are simple extensions of base human attitudes and are thus fraught with all the frailties that encumber all human activity.
The sanitization of markets, by which I mean the constant effort to make them appear “natural” or “neutral” and thus “fair”, is an ideological cover that market ideologues desperately, and successfully, propagate. It is a cover to mask the consequences of this supposed naturalness and to give it the imprint of ethical cleanliness. After all if the outcomes of a market are simply those of nature working her course, who are we too argue?
All the justified fuss over inequality in recent months begs a rather significant question doesn’t it? If we are all so vexed over inequality we must have some yardstick or some more ideal state we could call equality. What is it?
The problem I have is that equality almost immediately disappears into a fog.
There are very few of us who would argue for the blandness of total equality. That seems to be as inhuman as extreme inequality. After all we are all very different and thus there is an inherent tendency towards lumpiness in society. Some people will always outperform others whilst some will underperform. Some will be richer and others poorer. This much is so simple we can move on quickly. After all we don’t want to fall into the trap that has ensnared orthodox economists: they cannot do their work without expunging humanity from their equations. Else all that lumpiness gets in the way of the smooth operation of maximization, efficiency, and rationality. So they sweep it away peremptorily by making absurd assumptions and then pretend to have discovered something of extreme value about humanity. Ridiculous, I know, but they plod on stupidly despite it.
Is medicine a model for ethics in economics?
Be very wary of anyone who claims that their wealth is the result of great skill. Or even hard work. Luck had to play a part. Usually a very significant part. And dumb luck ought not be the basis upon which we build intelligent, caring, or stable societies.
Be wary, also, of arguments against popular policies that include references to envy or jealousy. Being opposed to plutocracy does not necessarily imply either. Those arguments are old and have been used to undermine the moral authority of populism since democracy first reared its ugly head and disrupted the ease with which our leaders could syphon off wealth for their own enjoyment.
The other day, I posted a few paragraphs from the new Roman Catholic Pope Francis’s apostolic exhortation Evangelii Gaudium (which translates as “The Joy of the Gospel”).
I’ve now had a chance to read the entire text (available here), which seems to have gotten some notice around the world (although, best I can tell, there’s still no comment from the likes of Paul Ryan, who would steal bread from the mouths of the poor in the name of saving them from anything but the market).
The document as a whole is a call to a new kind of evangelization on the part of Catholics, both clerical and lay. (On Michael Sean Winters’s interpretation, “The Pope is calling the Church to be a missionary Church, an evangelizing Church, and the privileged path of fidelity to the Gospel is service to the poor.”) The main sections on economics are located in chapter 2 (“Amid the Crisis of Communal Commitment”) and chapter 4 (“The Social Dimension of Evangelization”).
For centuries, economists have argued that nothing beats a free market for efficiency. Unfettered competition leads to lower prices and better products, more innovation and greater choice. But market forces may also make people less ethical and more selfish.
There is no shortage of speculation on the topic by philosophers and social scientists. But the supply of empirical evidence on the topic has not kept up with the demand. Armin Falk and Nora Szech, two behavioural economists from Germany, have made a contribution.
One needn’t look far for proof. The symptoms of their failure are everywhere. Financial markets remain too volatile and crises too common. Inequality is raging and increasing around the globe. And environmental damage continues unabated, with rising climate volatility belying claims that we can experience sustained and broad based prosperity without major changes in the global economy.
You probably have missed it, but there is a major furor within the economics profession concerning the findings of an academic paper written by Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff in 2010. The profession issues a torrent of papers annually, most of which remain scarcely read and massively under-appreciated. Probably deservedly so since the sole objective of most is to meet the check-box requirement of publication that dominates academia. This desperation to publish to build reputation and to demonstrate mastery of the subject to a determinedly self-referential peer group is one of the causes of the rapid decline within economics: it encourages ever more fragmentation of the subject into ever less relevant sub-disciplines, and has resulted in a near total elimination of a common understanding – or common memory – of its development.
It has also produced sloppiness.
The R-R paper has now become a cause-celebre of such sloppiness.
It is good news that Standard & Poor’s is being sued by the government. S&P was complicit in the market rigging that led us to the bubble and the destruction of a boatload of wealth. It has escaped, thus far, any serious damage from its involvement in the creation of crisis and deserves to be taken down a peg or two. The amount of damages being sought is roughly equivalent to one year’s income of S&P’s parent company McGraw-Hill. That’s not enough to put the company out of business, but it is noticeable.
Over the past week, the business news has been filled with stories about major British banks manipulating the LIBOR rate. While these stories are undoubtedly confusing to most of the public, which is not generally familiar with the intricacies of different interest rate indexes, the basic story is fairly simple: Big banks were caught lying about interest rates in order to make big profits.
For the most part the victims were other high-rollers who were taking the other side of bets on complex financial derivatives. However there were also pension funds and even governmental units such as school districts and park services that were persuaded by their financial advisers to get into this high-stakes game. These folks were among those who lost because of the LIBOR liars. | 2019-04-21T20:41:40 | https://rwer.wordpress.com/category/the-economics-profession/ethics/ |
Starting January 1, 2013, a plastic bag ban in the city of Homer, AK can proceed as planned.
The City Council approved and adopted the ordinance at the end of August. However, Homer City Mayor James Hornaday vetoed the ordinance shortly after, asking instead for a voluntary program according to media reports.
Fortunately, City Council recognized the need for the policy. Voluntary efforts to reduce plastic bag pollution have failed throughout the world.
Yesterday evening, the City Council had their final opportunity to vote on an override of the veto before the September 28 deadline. The override passed, and the ordinance will remain in effect.
Homer is the fourth city in Alaska to adopt a plastic bag ban. See the full list of local bag ordinances. | 2019-04-23T14:25:54 | https://www.cawrecycles.org/recycling-news/2054 |

» Get Disney treats at FamilyMart this winter — including Olaf-shaped chocolate steamed buns!
The campaign is set to coincide with the premier of Big Hero 6 here in Japan on December 20, and in light of Frozen‘s popularity, which seems to show no signs of waning, it really isn’t surprising that Family Mart has decided to put the two Disney films together. Okay, so first we have some tasty looking Frozen themed treats to show you.
▼This “Mixed Jelly: Anna and the Snow Queen“, already on sale from this past Tuesday, is a fruity affair made of strawberry jelly containing pieces of peach, pineapple, tangerine and cherry inside and is priced at 214 yen (US$1.79).
▼And this is the “White Soda Flavor Fresh Ramune Gummy Candy“, also already on sale and costing 128 yen ($1.07). These gummy candies have a flavor like the Japanese ramune drink, which tastes similar to a lemon soda pop. Apparently, you can even enjoy these candies frozen and feel them literally melting in your mouth!
▼Of course, we have to have some seriously ice-cold desserts too, since these are Frozen themed snacks after all, right? This is the “Anna and the Snow Queen: Salt Vanilla Soda Flavored Super Soft Ice Cream” which will come out December 9, and it will combine a salt and vanilla flavored soft-serve ice cream with a refreshing soda pop flavored sauce for a price of 198 yen ($1.65).
▼And this “Anna and the Snow Queen: Condensed Milk Flavored Ice Cream”, which will also go on sale starting December 9 for 162 yen ($1.35), will be a condensed milk flavored ice cream containing three types of fruit and also pieces of finely crushed ice inside.
▼And here’s the lovable Olaf as the “Anna and the Snow Queen: Olaf Chocolate Steamed Bun” priced at 190 yen ($1.59) which will be available from December 16. This Olaf is a steamed bun filled with a smooth chocolate cream, and we’re pretty sure that a warm chocolate dessert will go down extremely well on a cold winter day.
▼This is the “Jiggly Soft Almond Jelly and Milk Mousse” sold for 280 yen ($2.34). It’s made of milk mousse containing condensed milk topped with a strawberry sauce and also almond jelly which adds a bit of a chewy texture to the dessert. The sweet mousse and jelly is white and soft, like Baymax the robot in the movie.
▼And this is a snack that’s even more perfectly shaped for a tie in with Big Hero 6. It’s a set of “Three Mitarashi Dumplings” priced at 198 yen ($1.65). They’re soft chewy round white dumpling balls with a sweet soy sauce based filling inside, and they’ve actually printed Baymax’s face on one of the dumplings! Utterly adorable!
What’s even better, as part of the campaign commemorating Big Hero 6‘s release, for every 500 yen you spend at FamilyMart, you’ll have a chance to win one of several original movie tie-in goods, and the spending doesn’t have to be on the special Frozen and Big Hero 6 desserts but can be on other regular products sold at the store.
▼For one receipt of 500 yen or more worth of shopping, you can enter to win two 500 yen prepaid shopping cards (right). You can also choose to send in three receipts for a chance to win a Frozen blanket (middle) or four receipts for a chance to win a Frozen-inspired necklace (left).
▼Or if you want a Big Hero 6 tie-in product, for two 500 yen receipts you can enter to win a Baymax dumpling cushion (right) or for five receipts, a huge 125cm (4ft 1in) Baymax plush doll!
So, which item would you want to win? The give-away campaign runs until December 25, while the Big Hero 6 desserts will be sold until December 29 and the Frozen desserts will be sold while supplies last. Well, even if you don’t win any of the special tie-in goods, the desserts alone look pretty tempting to us (or is that just me?). We’d love to try the Olaf steamed bun in particular, simply because he literally looks cute enough to eat! Yup, you’d better get ready to be eaten Olaf, because we can’t wait for you to come out on the 16th, filled with yummy chocolate! | 2019-04-20T10:36:39 | https://soranews24.com/2014/12/04/get-disney-treats-at-family-mart-this-winter-including-olaf-shaped-chocolate-steamed-buns/ |
Sarah Palin net worth: Sarah Palin is an American politician, author and television pundit who has net worth of $12 million. Sarah Palin is the former governor of Alaska who ran for Vice President of the United States on the 2008 Republican ticket. Palin was born in Sandpoint, Idaho, but moved to Wasilla, Alaska as an infant and still considers it her home. In 1984, she won the Miss Wasilla Pageant and went on to win third place and the Miss Congeniality award in the competition for Miss Alaska. At the same time, she attended college in Hawaii, Idaho, and Alaska, eventually earning her bachelor's in communications from the University of Idaho. In 1992, Palin won a spot on the Wasilla City Council. In 1996 she became mayor, and in 2006, she became the youngest person and the first woman to be elected Governor of Alaska.
In 2008, she was catapulted into the national political spotlight when presidential hopeful John McCain chose her as his running mate. McCain and Palin lost, but she has managed to retain her status as one of the most talked-about personalities in politics. In 2009, Palin surprised the political community by announcing that she would not seek gubernatorial re-election in 2010, and resigned the governorship of Alaska with eighteen months left in her term. Shortly afterwards, Harper Collins published Palin's autobiography Going Rogue: An American Life, which sold over a million copies within two weeks of hitting shelves, one of only four political memoirs to do so. Palin also signed a multi-year contract with FOX News. Palin has been married to oilfield manager and commercial fisherman Todd Palin since 1988, and the pair have five children. | 2019-04-26T12:16:25 | https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-politicians/republicans/sarah-palin-net-worth/ |

"Today's packaging market is evolving rapidly, and Dow is continuing to introduce new products that help packaging converters lead that evolution," said Greg Bunker, Senior Group Marketing Manager, North America for Food and Specialty Packaging at Dow. "The innovative ELITE AT PE Resins combine high performance with high processing capabilities, which can help packaging converters improve throughput and stability on their lines without sacrificing performance."
ELITE AT PE Resins offer customers consistent, high-performance seal properties with additional properties such as optics, stiffness, toughness, processability, and organoleptics. The products are an excellent option for a wide variety of vertical form fill seal and horizontal form fill seal applications as the resins can keep up with the pace of a fast running form fill seal machine while still producing a reliably sealed bag.

Hey! First, let me say so enjoying hearing you speak God’s Word at the retreat. I have just kept pouring over in my head something you mentioned concerning Psalm 24. I am merely paraphrasing of course and totally be wrong altogether, however…when this chapter speaks of clean hands and pure heart you mentioned that we do have clean hands and a pure heart. Then you mentioned something to the effect of a read or other verses clarifying that God’s gives the clean hands and pure hearts. I know, I know totally messing it up. You put is so beautifully that I need to know what exactly you stated in reference to those verses in Psalm 24. I was so hoping it was written in your speaking notes! Thanks for the help and patience!
I’m so glad to hear that your are still “marinating” in the truths taught at the retreat! The part you are referring to is in Session 1 at the 36:06 mark. You may have to let the video buffer for a bit before you can get there, but that’s probably the best way to “re-live” that point. My personal teaching notes often don’t make a lot of sense to anyone but myself, but I will check there as well. If its clear enough, I will send that part to you via email. Blessings to you! | 2019-04-18T16:21:45 | http://www.aprilesweers.com/radiant-retreat-videos/ |
The millennial love affair with a 74-year-old crank is real. And it just might be Hillary Clinton's downfall.
Bernie Sanders is creaming Hillary Clinton, thanks in large part to young voters.
A new CNN/ORC poll released Thursday shows that Sanders is now beating Clinton in Iowa among likely Democratic voters 51% to 43%, and another poll published Tuesday found Sanders leads in New Hampshire by 27 points. His success isn’t solely due to his status as an anti-establishment candidate, but because of a deeper-rooted affection young voters have for the self-described socialist.
As he stands, Sanders has the youth vote locked up. Among voters under the age of 35, Sanders enjoys a cool 11-point lead over Clinton. Though these voters tend to be unpredictable about turnout, their support is significant. President Barack Obama was elected to the White House twice due in large part to his ability to garner support from millennial voters.
By contrast, Hillary Clinton is one of the most unconvincing candidates to have ever graced the political stage. She is a pantsuit-wearing cyborg.
So why are young voters so fond of Sanders? He’s old, he’s cranky, and he’s kind of a kook.
To put it simply, Bernie is Bae, meaning many younger voters see him as their “one and only.” The phrase has taken over campaign apparel and has even become an unlikely hashtag.
His specific brand of outrage makes what he has to say not just entertaining, but also believable. When I watch Sanders speak, I am completely convinced that he intends to do exactly what he says.
In addition to holding a tremendous advantage by being an actual human, the policy changes Sanders has been stumping for jive with millennial priorities. Here’s a quick and dirty laundry list of the issues young people are primarily concerned with and why Bernie fits the bill.
The average student graduates from college with $28,000 in student loans, and some of them are so freaked out about their debt that they are fleeing the country to escape their financial burdens. It’s no wonder that a candidate who has made a key component of his platform about making college free for all would be appealing.
Despite the fact that increased federal funding to higher education is what made college so damn expensive in the first place, millennials are thirsty for more government intervention. In fact, Sander’s proposed governmental takeover of higher education is exactly what recent and soon-to-be college graduates have been raised to expect.
To millennials, parents and the government are one in the same — their function is to pick up the bill.
They watched their parents’ generation cause the sub-prime mortgage bubble and the consequences unfold in the form of the 2008 recession. They observed their parents vote for candidates who responded to this economic downturn by throwing money at the problem in the form of bailouts and stimulus packages, and it seemed to kind of work, if only in the most shallow sense of the word. After seeing this type of behavior repeatedly exhibited as a legitimate solution, of course they’re inclined to favor a candidate who also wants to fix the higher education bubble by dumping (even more) money on it.
Millennials have yet to comprehend that there’s no such thing as a free lunch. To them, it makes perfect sense to make college “free” because many of these young adults’ lifestyles are being subsidized by their parents. To millennials, parents and the government are one in the same — their function is to pick up the bill.
In the interest of full disclosure, I admit that I’m guilty of this kind of free-riding behavior that’s become emblematic of my generation. Although I don’t rely on my parents for everyday living expenses, I am still covered by their health insurance and plan to keep it that way as long as possible.
I’m not the only one, either. Only about half of those under the age of 25 have opted into an employer-provided health insurance plan largely because many are opting to stay under their parents health plans. We’re not doing this just because we want free contact lenses until we turn 26, but because we’re seeking shelter from the disastrous health care market that Obamacare created. Premiums among those who are young and healthy have ballooned 5.3 percent thanks to the healthcare law.
Why would any voter, particularly a young voter, be at all interested in Clinton’s plan to not change anything at all and fight to preserve a healthcare system that has ruined it for them?
So the healthcare industry is a confusing disaster that has scared many away from even trying to figure it out. What’s interesting, however, is that instead of running from the same kind of government intervention that tends to ruin everything, first-time voters overwhelmingly favor the idea of a single-payer system. They see more government as a solution to problems caused by already-too-much-government intervention.
Admittedly, I don’t totally understand this tendency among my peers, but my guess would be that it probably has something to do with the way we were educated. The campus protests of 2015 revealed just how the classroom has swung in the leftward direction. Full-grown university students were begging administrators to monitor their classmates’ speech and to punish those who didn’t parrot the social justice talking points fed to them by their professors. If there’s one thing to take away from all of the campus chaos, it’s that millennials are all too comfortable with authority and censorship. After spending years in the classroom where they are taught to look to government for everything, it makes sense they would want to vote for someone who wants to extend its role.
Alternatively, Clinton does not express a desire to dismantle current health care law to make way for a larger program, at least not to the colossal extent that Sanders does. During the Democratic debate on Sunday, Clinton made it clear that she’s a huge fan of Obamacare. She even attacked Sanders’s Medicare-for-all plan. During this exchange, Clinton made it painfully obvious that she’s pushing for the status quo, and she’s pushing hard.
Why would any voter, particularly a young voter, be at all interested in Clinton’s plan to preserve a broken healthcare system that has made them worse off? For many of my peers, Sanders’s approach to ripping up failing healthcare legislation and replacing it with a plan that gives everyone the same amount of care appeases their inner fair-mongering social justice warrior.
Among Sanders supporters I have spoken with, some are most attracted to his desire to reduce a donor’s sphere of influence in politics. This was surprising to me. I mean, campaign finance isn’t the sexiest thing in the world to talk about, am I right?
On second thought, it makes sense — of course a group of young people who are known for having an obsession with fairness and social justice would be into campaign finance reform.
Also, we are poor! We’re the first generation to be predicted to fare worse than our parents. It makes sense that a generation saddled with overwhelming amounts of debt would be angry about deep-pocketed fat cats getting to set the political agenda! We are a generation resigned to eating freezer-burned burritos and mooching contact lenses off of our parents’ health insurance until our degrees are paid off. In the millennial mind, those check-writing fiends must be stopped.
We are a generation resigned to eating freezer-burned burritos and mooching contact lenses off of our parents’ health insurance until our degrees are paid off.
At the same time, I actually admire the desire for greater transparency in the political process among my peers. As one who keeps an eye on the beltway, I’ve seen lawmakers support causes and push for legislation that directly benefits their donors time and time again. It’s frustrating. I want my vote to count just as much as a lobbyist’s, but it often does not.
However, I’m not sure that younger people fully appreciate the connection between free speech and political advocacy. Cronyism should be discouraged as often as possible, however throwing a wet blanket on the funding apparatus for issue advocacy will inevitably hurt free speech. Though if the climate on the college campus is any indication, millennials wouldn’t be all that alarmed about the threat Bernie’s campaign finance reform ideas pose to the First Amendment. In fact, 40 percent of those between the ages of 18 to 34 say government should quash speech when it is offensive in nature.
Bernie Sanders is a champion of the millennial cause. He has taken up the issues that affect young people the most and is using them as a battering ram against milquetoast candidates who do nothing more than shill for the status quo. In short, Sanders is hot and Clinton is not. | 2019-04-18T17:22:01 | https://thefederalist.com/2016/01/21/the-millennial-love-affair-with-bernie-sanders-is-finally-crushing-hillary/ |

Dave Doggett admitted that he is frustrated that Cambridge United are just outside the playoff spots.
The U's chairman was writing in his programme notes ahead of the Newport County fixture this weekend, where they will look to make it back to back home wins.
And while he said Shaun Derry and the team appreciate the support, he added that the negativity around some of the games has puzzled him.
"Obviously, it is frustrating because if only we had picked up a few more points we would be in a play-off place in the league," he said.
"We are still only three points away. You can be assured that everyone at the club, from top to bottom, is working hard to achieve our ambition to play at a higher level.
"Shaun and the players appreciate the positive support but, like me, are puzzled, by the negativity of a few during matches.
"Whilst we treasure stability, our ambitions have not changed and we are all fully aware of the importance of the upcoming matches over the Christmas period and the opportunity to strengthen the squad in the January transfer window."
Many fans have wanted more communication from the club in the last week or so, and Doggett confirmed that there would be a chance to talk to them in the new year.
"We are committed as a club to listening to all our supporter’s views both positive and negative and to be as open and honest with all our stakeholders," he said.

According to the SEC, two firms will collectively pay more than $1.8 million for violations related to share class disclosure failures.
The SEC says relationship documentation, portfolio reconciliation, and portfolio compression are important tools for increasing operational efficiency and reducing risk for security-based swaps entities.
The committee says the SEC should explicitly explain that Regulation Best Interest is a fiduciary duty shared equally by advisers and broker/dealer to act in their customers’ best interest.
SEC worked with RAND Corporation to test the efficacy of its mock Customer Relationship Summary form, a key part of the broader Regulation Best Interest proposal; the positive findings differ from reports commissioned by investment industry advocacy groups.
“Because funds bear the cost of shareholder report delivery, intermediaries have little incentive to negotiate lower delivery rates with the fulfillment vendor or otherwise control costs,” the Investment Company Institute argues.
The proposal is intended to help investors better understand these contracts' features, fees and risks, and to more easily find the information needed to make an informed investment decision. | 2019-04-18T18:29:29 | https://www.planadviser.com/tag/sec/ |
Celebrate Moon Festival in Taiwan – Part 1 ?
As we learned in Part 1, during Moon Festival people usually eat mooncakes, pomelos and barbecue in Taiwan according to the tradition. However, don’t just focus on the food (despite the fact that they are really delicious)! Let’s learn more interesting facts and stories about them!
The history of eating mooncakes can be traced back to Tang Dynasty (618 A.D.-907 A.D.) since it was firstly found in the literature of that era. The historical record pointed out that the tradition was originally from the palace and then gradually spread to the folk. The name “mooncake” made its first appearance in Song Dynasty (960 A.D.-1279 A.D.). History has it that in the earlier time mooncakes weren’t like what we know nowadays. The shape is changed to be round since it symbolizes reunion, completeness and goodness.
Legend has it that during Yuan Dynasty (1271 A.D.-1368 A.D.), Han people suffered from the government of Mongolia (Yuan was actually a dynasty established by Mongolia). They had been planning for the revolution against Mongolia. However, since Mongolia heavily guarded and monitored them, it was difficult to communicate and inform of one another about the rebel action.
Mooncakes not only played an important role in the history of China, but also became a favourable snack nowadays, which always has plenty flavours for customers to choose from. You can buy mooncakes in stores specialised in making gift-style variations or simply normal bakeries during the festival period (they also make numerous to sell). You can even see people waiting in line if the brand is really famous.
Three of the most common and popular flavours are 綠豆椪 lǜdòu pèng, 蛋黃酥 dànhuáng sū and 芋頭酥 yùtou sū.
This kind of mooncake has a sweet stuffing made of green beans. Sometimes you can also find it with pork filling at the same time.
A sweet-salty kind of mooncake, which has red bean paste and a complete salty yolk of duck egg inside as the stuffing.
It has spiral-pattern purple skin and sweet filling made of taro. This kind of snacks, which made its first appearance in Taichung City, doesn’t belong the category of “traditional mooncakes”. Nevertheless, it’s one of the most popular Taiwanese cakes and has become one of the most favorable choices during Moon Festival.
Apart from mooncakes, pomelos are the most-eaten fruit for this festival as well. Except the reason that pomelos are in season during this period, its name 柚子 yòuzi also sounds like 佑子 yòuzǐ, which means “blessing children”, is considered a auspicious symbol.
The most common varieties of pomelo in Taiwan are 文旦 wéndàn, 西施柚 xīshī yòu and 白柚 bái yòu. Among them, the most popular one is 文旦 wéndàn, which 麻豆 Mádòu District of Tainan City is famous for.
First, cut off the top part of the fruit with knife.
Second, use knife to make scratches starting from the bottom of the fruit.
Third, peel the fruit like peeling a banana.
Divide the fruit in pieces like eating an orange but remember the thin and transparent membrane between each piece is uneatable.
Apart from enjoying the fruit, children usually take the left pomelo peel as hats. This is a common memory from Taiwanese childhood for many children!
The hat made of pomelo peel is not only for kids but also for….those pets absolutely!
Taiwanese people like to barbecue in the evening of Moon Festival. Despite other traditional food, it’s especially curious that only barbecue stands out among all and even gives Moon Festival the nickname “Barbecue Festival”.
Actually there are various versions about the origin of this custom. Among them, the most accepted reason is that it should thank the barbecue sauce advertisement during 1980s. One soy sauce factory firstly combined soy sauce with the idea of barbecue and released the TV advertisement during Moon Festival.
One of the most famous lines of the commercial is 一家烤肉萬家香 Yì jiā kǎoròu wàn jiā xiāng. It literally means: one family barbecues, ten thousand families smell good.
Since it’s almost autumn, the weather is getting cooler. It has started to be suitable for camping, which is usually related to BBQ. As a result, some say that people just want to do the three activities – camping, watching the moon and BBQ, simultaneously.
Another believable version points out that this firstly became a trend in Hsin Chu region, which was famous for its BBQ grill fabrication. During 1980s, export performance had become poor thus the factories began to promote their products domestically.
Traditionally every family gather and sit in the yard or in front of the door to watch the moon and chat together. To add a further element of enjoyment to the occasion people came up with the idea of barbecuing at the same time.
You’d better make a reservation. If not, you’ll be waiting in line for a long time!
Having BBQ in a barbecue restaurant is also a good choice.
Since we are talking about Moon Festival, let’s just give it a thought…If you are asked to name a Chinese song about “the moon”, what would your answer be?
你問我愛你有多深，我愛你有幾分。You ask how deep I feel for you and how much I love you.
Nǐ wèn wǒ ài nǐ yǒu duō shēn, wǒ ài nǐ yǒu jǐ fēn.
我的情也真，我的愛也真。I’m always true and my love is real.
Wǒ de qíng yě zhēn, wǒ de ài yě zhēn.
月亮代表我的心。The moon represents my heart.
我的情不移，我的愛不變。I won’t ever change, my love will be the same.
Wǒ de qíng bù yí, wǒ de ài bù biàn.
輕輕的一個吻，已經打動我的心。Sweet with a gentle kiss, you have truly won my heart.
深深的一段情，叫我思念到如今。All things and times we shared, I remember till this day.
Shēn shēn de yīduàn qíng, jiào wǒ sīniàn dào rújīn.
你去想一想，你去看一看。You can think of me, maybe you will see.
Nǐ qù xiǎng yī xiǎng, nǐ qù kàn yī kàn.
Finally on behalf of LTL, I would like to wish everyone a meaningful, special and romantic Moon Festival! | 2019-04-18T14:18:28 | https://ltl-taiwan.com/moon-festival-2/ |

My name is Charlie. I grew up in Morgan Hill, but I live in San Jose. I’m a Computer Desktop Technician who enjoys troubleshooting and helping those in need. I have had over 25 years of experience working on computer related material. I started working on computers at a very young age so my skills are self taught. On the course, I have learned and adapted a wide range of skills ranging from software to hardware. I have spent a lot of my time using Windows and it’s software while adapting the inner workings to help others with their issues.
I have also dabbled in the inner workings of Trance music. I have enjoyed techno/electronic/trance music since I first heard it back when it was in it’s infancy. I Actively DJ’d from 2000 t’ill the mid 2000’s while playing shows less often later on. I focused my time afterward on my family and helping my kids achieve, learn and grow. My sampling of music since then has been full of love for the art and never ending when it comes to appreciating it.
My hobbies include researching tech news, socializing on different platforms as well as working on computer geeky stuff such as SQL, Other Linux Distributions etc. I also enjoy spending many hours to discover how something works or adapting software to bend in ways it was never meant to.
I’m a Technician, Dad, Husband, Adventurer Extraordinaire, High Overlord… and nachos for all! I love music (my Zune), working with anything computer, and any art created with soul. I enjoy discovering random pieces of life and anything shown with heart.
Originally, I created this place to put myself in a sort of outlet since all the normal outlets just don’t seem to match what I care to include myself in. In a way, it’s a home away from home. Lately, it’s been a place where I can slow down and reflect. There have been too many days that have become a blur and I can’t separate one day from another. I started writing when I can so ensure that I do slow down and look around. It gives me more appreciation of my family and life lived.

Reading is a dangerous activity for me. I am one of those "must-finish-the-book" people. According to my husband, I don't actually read books. I devour them. If I start a book, the laundry piles up, the dishes linger in the sink and the children get to eat popcorn for dinner.
Speaking of my husband, when we were first married, if he wanted to spend the day playing a video game, he would always sweetly suggest we stop by a book store and pick up a few things for me. Oh, and while we're here...I'll just pop into this game store. Took me years to realize I was being had.
What am I missing? What's on your list? I read just about everything, except horror. What is the best book you have read lately? Anything I should stay away from? Do you have a book coming out this summer that I should absolutely check out? | 2019-04-21T22:01:34 | https://www.dawnalexanderbooks.com/chasingsomeday/2011/06/whats-on-your-tbr-list.html |

Bob and Lisa were understandably concerned about the quality of fishing following the heavy rains. The great news was our fishery returned to its regular productive self very quickly. Over the course of two days we caught lots of trout mixed with some quality reds on popping corks. We also found some large reds on the flats that smoked our blue crab. Both days were sunny with light winds and we couldn’t have asked for better conditions. Get back out there and enjoy our fantastic Fall fishing! | 2019-04-21T10:47:59 | https://www.charlestoncharterfishing.com/2015/10/11/what-storm/ |
William L. Saunders of AUL spoke on “Catholic Social Teaching on Marriage and the Family—Implications for Public Policy” at the annual Summer Catholic Social Thought Institute earlier today. The weeklong Institute, conducted by the Society of Catholic Social Scientists and The Cardinal Newman Society, invites practitioners in social science disciplines or policy initiatives to provide graduate students and younger faculty with strategies for applying principles of the Catholic intellectual tradition to their respective intellectual and cultural endeavors. Mr. Saunders’ talk was on Tuesday afternoon, June 8, on the campus of Catholic University in Washington, DC. | 2019-04-21T14:19:05 | https://aul.org/2010/06/08/saunders-speaks-at-summer-catholic-social-thought-institute/ |
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication is growing rapidly. It is estimated that there will soon be more machines communicating directly with each other than there are mobile phone users. Swisscom wants to drive communication between devices even more strongly, and to this end it is establishing a separate M2M department.
In the last quarter of 2011 alone, Swisscom recorded an increase of roughly 10% in demand for M2M communication. Swisscom estimates that over the long term more than 100 million machines will be connected with each other via the mobile network in Switzerland. This "Internet of Things" will help to simplify processes, reduce costs and make more sustainable use of scarce resources. Municipal power companies can already read electricity meters remotely over the mobile network rather than having to send field staff to customer premises. Navigation devices receive current information about traffic jams, calculated from anonymous movement data from mobile customers. And in the near future, cars will warn each other about danger areas, coffee machines will automatically re-order their own beans, and medical devices will transfer patients' blood pressure readings online.
To drive the M2M market even more strongly going forward, Swisscom is to bundle its future activities in a department created specifically for this purpose. "In Gerhard Schedler we have been able to attract an experienced businessman to head up the new business area," said Urs Schaeppi, Head of Swisscom Corporate Business. "In recent years he has had great success in building up a company that provides solutions for communication between things."
The new department will accompany customers at every stage, from the initial project idea through to implementation and eventual operation. As well as providing complete business solutions for corporate customers, Swisscom will also actively support international M2M solution partners in the marketing and operation of their products and services. | 2019-04-26T03:41:22 | https://www.swisscom.ch/en/about/medien/press-releases/2011/12/20111219_MM_Dinge_kommunizieren.html |

The pros and cons of the border “Wall” controversy have many applications to our “broken” society. I’m unquestionably for protecting the borders of our country, whether north or south; whether a literal, solid wall, barbed fence, or military presence. To have “open borders” can only further corrupt an already-corrupt nation. The mere fact of controversy over this subject reveals that the average American lacks understanding and concern for the protection of a “once-great” country.
I commend our President’s vision, tenacity, and courage to prevent the onslaught of illegal immigrants to “invade” our beloved land; evidently, these foreigners see something about America that the average American citizen fails to see. We’ve been told for years now that there’s really “nothing special” about America; that our “hay-day” is past, and we need to embrace the socialist and communist (classless) philosophies of Europe. If that’s true, then what do we have to “protect” from the “invaders”? If big government is going to “pay all the bills,” than who will be available to work for a living and pay taxes to support the government?
The “wall” of opposition to our President’s remarkable strides to return to sane economic principles that once made America great, places a cloud of suspicion over the health of our nation. In any other context, President Trump, despite his personal idiosyncrasies, would be considered a courageous leader for righteousness. Here’s a successful business man with an outstanding family, etc. who desires to restore the foundations of Constitutional American government; what’s the problem? The focus of hatred on the left is seemingly toward the President personally; but the real issue is hatred for what he stands for. We’re reminded of One who, unlike the president, was absolutely perfect in every way; yet, was nailed to a cross some two thousand years ago!
Scripture says, “If the foundations be destroyed, what shall the righteous do?” You can’t build a solid wall on a faulty foundation. A “border wall” is superfluous if time-honored “walls” of morality, integrity, diligence, and responsibility, etc. have been depleted. The “free love” philosophy of the 1960s, along with the victimization (blame game) mentality, has paid its toll. The “welfare” mentality has gripped an increasing majority of our populace, until “working for a living” is losing its appeal. Politicians play “Santa Clause”, offering government “goodies” to a society that is basically lazy. The thought of personal responsibility and open “job market” is threatening and distasteful to many who are living off the welfare system. Welfare was meant to give a “hand up”, not a “hand out.” A political leader running for office who embraces the work ethic and human responsibility has little chance of being elected in the present climate. | 2019-04-20T04:36:52 | http://billfinnigan.com/build-what-wall/ |
ARIES (March 21-April 19): I predict that August will be a Golden Age for you. That's mostly very good. Golden opportunities will arise, and you'll come into possession of lead that can be transmuted into gold. But it's also important to be prudent about your dealings with gold. Consider the fable of the golden goose. The bird's owner grew impatient because it laid only one gold egg per day; he foolishly slaughtered his prize animal to get all the gold immediately. That didn't work out well. Or consider the fact that to the ancient Aztecs, the word teocuitlatl referred to gold, even though its literally translation was "excrement of the gods." Moral of the story: If handled with care and integrity, gold can be a blessing.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): "Manage with bread and butter until God sends the honey," advises a Moroccan proverb. Let's analyze how this advice might apply to you. First thing I want to know is, have you been managing well with bread and butter? Have you refrained from whining about your simple provisions, resting content and grateful? If you haven't, I doubt that any honey will arrive, ether from God or any other source. But if you have been celebrating your modest gifts, feeling free of greed and displeasure, then I expect at least some honey will show up soon.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don't worry your beautiful head about praying to the gods of luck and fate. I'll take care of that for you. Your job is to propitiate the gods of fluid discipline and hard but smart work. To win the favor of these divine helpers, act on the assumption that you now have the power and the right to ask for more of their assistance than you have before. Proceed with the understanding that they are willing to provide you with the stamina, persistence, and attention to detail you will need to accomplish your next breakthrough.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): "Sometimes, I feel the past and the future pressing so hard on either side that there's no room for the present at all." A character named Julia says that in Evelyn Waugh's novel Brideshead Revisited. I bring it to your attention as an inspiring irritant, as a prod to get you motivated. I hope it will mobilize you to rise up and refuse to allow your past and your future to press so hard on either side that there's no room for the present. It's a favorable time for you to fully claim the glory of being right here, right now.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I'm not an ascetic who believes all our valuable lessons emerge from suffering. Nor am I a pop-nihilist who sneers at pretty flowers, smiling children, and sunny days. On the contrary: I'm devoted to the hypothesis that life is usually at least 51 percent wonderful. But I dance the rain dance when there's an emotional drought in my personal life, and I dance the pain dance when it's time to deal with difficulties I've ignored. How about you, Virgo? I suspect that now is one of those times when you need to have compassionate heart-to-heart conversations with your fears, struggles, and aches.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Do you absolutely need orchids, sweet elixirs, dark chocolate, alluring new music, dances on soft grass, sensual massages, nine hours of sleep per night, and a steady stream of soulful conversations? No. Not really. In the coming days, life will be a good ride for you even if you fail to procure those indulgences. But here are further questions and answers: Do you deserve the orchids, elixirs, and the rest? My answer is yes, definitely. And would the arrival of these delights spur you to come up with imaginative solutions to your top two riddles? I'm pretty sure it would. So I conclude this horoscope by recommending that you do indeed arrange to revel in your equivalent of the delights I named.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): "Don't try to steer the river," writes Deepak Chopra. Most of the time, I agree with that idea. It's arrogant to think that we have the power to control the forces of nature or the flow of destiny or the song of creation. Our goal should be to get an intuitive read on the crazy-making miracle of life, and adapt ourselves ingeniously to its ever-shifting patterns and rhythms. But wait! Set aside everything I just said. An exception to the usual rule has arrived. Sometimes, when your personal power is extra flexible and robust — like now, for you — you may indeed be able to steer the river a bit.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): "Dear Astrologer: Recently I've been weirdly obsessed with wondering how to increase my levels of generosity and compassion. Not just because I know it's the right thing to do, but also because I know it will make me healthy and honest and unflappable. Do you have any sage advice? -Ambitious Sagittarius." Dear Ambitious: I've noticed that many Sagittarians are feeling an unprecedented curiosity about how to enhance their lives by boosting the benevolence they express. Here's a tip from astrologer Chani Nicholas: "Source your sense of self from your integrity in every interaction." Here's another tip from Anais Nin: "The worse the state of the world grows, the more intensely I try for inner perfection and power. I fight for a small world of humanity and tenderness."
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Time does not necessarily heal all wounds. If you wait around passively, hoping that the mere passage of months will magically fix your twists and smooth out your tweaks, you're shirking your responsibility. The truth is, you need to be fully engaged in the process. You've got to feel deeply and think hard about how to diminish your pain, and then take practical action when your wisdom shows you what will actually work. Now is an excellent time to upgrade your commitment to this sacred quest.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The questions you've been asking aren't bad or wrong. But they're not exactly relevant or helpful, either. That's why the answers you've been receiving aren't of maximum use. Try these questions instead. 1. What experience or information would you need to heal your divided sense of loyalty? 2. How can you attract an influence that would motivate you to make changes you can't quite accomplish under your own power? 3. Can you ignore or even dismiss the 95 percent of your fear that's imaginary so you'll be able to focus on the five percent that's truly worth meditating on? 4. If I assured you that you have the intelligence to beautify an ugly part of your world, how would you begin?
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A scuffle you've been waging turns out to be the wrong scuffle. It has distracted you from giving your full attention to a more winnable and worthwhile tussle. My advice? Don't waste energy feeling remorse about the energy you've wasted. In fact, be grateful for the training you've received. The skills you've been honing while wrestling with the misleading complication will serve you well when you switch your focus to the more important issue. So are you ready to shift gears? Start mobilizing your crusade to engage with the more winnable and worthwhile tussle. | 2019-04-26T15:52:53 | https://www.northcoastjournal.com/humboldt/free-will-astrology/Content?oid=10229208 |
Although it may be news to some, we are no longer in the Industrial Age. Yes, we are still surrounded by all the paraphernalia and accoutrements of industry, perhaps more so than earlier eras, but we have a different view of the world, a technologically-sophisticated world view that requires intelligent people. These knowledge workers, colloquially called Geeks, seek one thing: to be smarter at what they do.
Therefore, it’s not surprising that in a time in history where there may be an app for almost every practical (and impractical) human endeavor; there is one to make smart people even smarter.
If you’re a knowledge worker, you’re probably interested in learning more about this brain-enhancing app, but before we describe it and what it can do to enrich your neuronets, let’s take a look at the people behind the app, as this will put things in perspective.
Although people frequently use games like Sudoku, chess, or crosswords to keep their minds sharp and focused, this is not as effective as a deliberate program for cognitive training. Lumosity reshapes neural connections in a more challenging way than most traditional mental enrichment programs. And while there is a whole suite of brain-training programs, Lumosity may well have the most research behind its games.
Lumos Labs is an organization created by an in-house research and development team that works with neuroscientists from Berkeley to develop brain training software that reinforces such breakthrough ideas as stimulating neuroplasticity and enhancing fluid intelligence. Their suite of apps goes under the umbrella name of Lumosity.
Neuroplasticity means that the more you stimulate your brain, the more the brain develops neurons to handle the new information. An analogy may help: a bodybuilder will stress a certain muscle through repetition to force it to grow thicker and stronger; similarly, by studying something, you increase the number of neurons in your brain to make it work smarter.
Fluid intelligence, meanwhile, is the capacity to logically resolve problems in new situations. In other words, you can reason out an answer without requiring prior knowledge. Inductive and deductive knowledge is enough.
Lumosity, in summary, offers users entertaining game apps to improve neuroplasticity and fluid intelligence. When you use these apps, you will improve brain-processing speed, long and short-term memory, attention to detail, the flexibility of your thinking, and your ability to solve problems.
–from college students to those in knowledge-intensive projects– users also include those who are interested in overcoming cognitive challenges.
The games are simple, yet entertaining. They don’t require special knowledge or skills to play.
The Lumosity apps can be accessed by laptop or desktop. The apps are also compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. The apps are optimized for iPhone 5.
This app is both engaging and stimulating. Instead of standard brain games, Lumosity games are designed to maximize cognitive functions. For more information, visit http://www.lumosity.com. | 2019-04-21T18:03:49 | http://www.9to5iphone.com/geek-alert-an-app-to-train-your-brain/ |

School might be on your mind as you prepare to send your kids back to the classroom come September. Maybe it has you thinking of your own favorite class again, or the teacher who opened to your eyes to new ideas. Teachers have a profound impact on the children who pass through their classrooms, but that's not limited to real life. Teachers from television can inspire as well, which is a point proven by 7 of the best TV teachers. Revisit each character (and the many lessons they imparted) just in time for your children to head back to school.
There have been plenty of terrible teachers on TV. I would not want a lecture from Walter White or a serenade from Mr. Schuester, no matter how angelic the vocals. I idolize Viola Davis as much as the next, but Annalise Keating's lessons on evading murder charges are not exactly the most ethically sound. Compelling and complicated teachers abound on TV, but the impression they leave on their students isn't always the most positive. Luckily they have just as many well-meaning counterparts who relish the job they've taken on. The teachers on this list are interesting characters, but they're also the kind of people you'd be happy to see standing at the front of the class.
Here are 7 TV teachers who range from pretty great all the way to the best of the best.
Jessica being a teacher didn't always take center stage on New Girl, but she was dedicated to doing her job well and with creativity. With all the singing and crafting Jess was prone to, her classroom would be a lot of fun.
Ms. Grant was a tough but inspiring teacher who pushed her students to be the best that they could be. Fun fact: Debbie Allen wasn't just the star of the show, but also the director and choreographer, for which she won two Emmy Awards.
Though Mr. Simmons had a rocky start on Hey Arnold!, his fourth grade class soon realized just what a thoughtful and encouraging teacher he could be. For the rest of the series, Mr. Simmons continued to be a kindhearted (sometimes trampled over) presence at P.S. 118 who just wanted his students to thrive.
"Miss Stacy is my new ideal!" Anne announces rapturously upon meeting her new teacher in Season 2 of Anne with an E. And it's hard to disagree with her. Miss Stacy is the kind of teacher who thinks outside the box to get her students excited about learning. Plus she's got a motorbike, which is pretty cool.
Ms. Frizzle is one of the most iconic TV teachers: with her thematically appropriate outfits and incredibly thorough teaching methods, she imparted practical lessons with serious imagination.
Mr. Feeny was basically always on the clock: no matter what time of day, he was there to share some words of wisdom that made everything make sense. There are few teachers as dedicated and beloved. Say it with me now: Fee-hee-hee-eeny!
These TV teachers affected not only their fictional students, but the audience watching at home, so they certainly did their job. | 2019-04-21T14:23:35 | https://www.romper.com/p/7-of-the-best-tv-teachers-just-in-time-for-back-to-school-10060173 |

At NSE, shares of Nestle climbed 5.35 per cent to Rs 6,185.05. At BSE the stocks surged by 5.23 per cent to Rs 6,180.
Share prices of Nestle climbed after the CFTRI report stated that led levels in Maggi were under permissible limits.
Nestle jumped over 5 per cent after the FMCG major said its popular product Maggi cleared tests conducted by Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI) under the directive of Supreme Court, reiterating that the instant noodles brand is safe for consumption.
The stock after making a positive opening, jumped further by 5.23 per cent to Rs 6,180 on BSE.
At NSE, shares of the company climbed 5.35 per cent to Rs 6,185.05.
“CFTRI has submitted analysis reports on Maggi noodles to the Supreme Court. We have been provided with a copy of the reports. We are happy that all 29 samples tested by CFTRI are clear,” Nestle India said in a statement yesterday.
The reports state that lead levels for all samples are within permissible limits, it added.
“All 29 samples of Maggi Noodles,(the initial 13 and subsequent 16 samples), were collected by the relevant authorities following due process and then directly submitted to CFTRI,” Nestle India said.
The Supreme Court on December 16 last year, ordered testing of samples of Maggi noodles in Mysore laboratory after the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) had directed that it be done in Chennai. | 2019-04-20T04:57:43 | https://indianexpress.com/article/business/market/maggi-noodles-samples-clear-tests-nestle-shares-surge/ |
with all that work creating HSL colorspace and 1D Perlin noise functions, it would have been nice to show that off with a video or something.
i have some LED strips i’m using for under-cabinet lighting and it would be interesting to see if its worth the effort to implement such color shifting features.
Uber cool, a nice real hack for once!
I love how this guy covers the details.
Kudos, nothing more to add. Great 1D PN function!
Nice build. Also nice to see a JeeNode on HAD. the JeeNode’s are fantastic little boards.
The JeeNode is not quite as user friendly as the standard Arduino layout (not the same physical pin layout, etc), but it’s not too much effort to adapt Arduino circuits (and the Arduino pin spacing is still broken anyways). Not quite as many “tutorials” for the Jee. The Jee is 3v instead of 5, which needs to be taken into account, but all the cool new stuff is 3v anyways.

Ferdowsi's Shahnameh, the national epic of Iran, is a mythical and heroic retelling of Persian history.
Moreover, Muslims believe that God is incorporeal, making any two- or three- dimensional depictions impossible.
Instead, Muslims describe God by the names and attributes that he revealed to his creation.
Another reason why Islamic art is usually abstract is to symbolize the transcendence, indivisible and infinite nature of God, an objective achieved by arabesque.
Arabic calligraphy is an omnipresent decoration in Islamic art, and is usually expressed in the form of Qur'anic verses.
The epic took form in the 10th century and reached its final form by the 14th century; the number and type of tales have varied from one manuscript to another.
Various characters from this epic have themselves become cultural icons in Western culture, such as Aladdin, Sinbad and Ali Baba.
Through it the effect of varying cultures within Islamic civilization can be illustrated.
The North African and Spanish Islamic architecture, for example, has Roman-Byzantine elements, as seen in the Alhambra palace at Granada, or in the Great Mosque of Cordoba.
Islam emphasizes unity and defense of fellow Muslims, although many divisions of Islam (see the Sunni-Shia relations) exist.
In the past both Pan-Islamism and nationalist currents have influenced the status of the Muslim world.

Stay in a Barbados condominium property for your next vacation or rent a condo as your place of residence in Barbados.
A condominium in Barbados is considered as a unit within a complex of other condo units. These vary in size and cater to some or all of your needs.
You can buy or rent a condo in Barbados that would have a bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom, or you could choose a condo with more than one bedroom, which would have room for multiple people.
The condo complex itself offers many sports facilities such as large communal swimming pools, full-size tennis courts, fully equipped gym and 18 hole golf courses.
Other amenities may include a shop for provisions, laundry services, a health spa, a well-stocked bar and excellent dining restaurants on site.
Some condo developments are apartment blocks, while others are made up of townhouses and villas. If you look at the townhouse option, the accommodation is either a two or three story dwelling; these properties would be at least two bedrooms going up to 4 bedroom houses. These developments are found on the west, south and south-east coasts of Barbados.
You can expect the interior design and layout of Barbados condominiums to be of the highest standard with cane and rattan sofas giving a very Caribbean feel, which will incorporate the best of the indoor-outdoor living spaces.
There will be mahogany furniture in the bedrooms, marble flooring throughout and marble vanity units in the bathrooms. And on the patio, you can expect your private plunge pool or Jacuzzi.
When you rent or buy a condominium in Barbados, this would be a self-catering option, giving you the choice of what you want to eat and when.
However, in Barbados some luxury condominium developments and the townhouses or villas, there will be an option to have the property staffed so that you can have your chef catering to you and your party.
Barbados real estate agent and advise them of the area that you would like to stay. You should also tell the real estate agent how many people the condominium needs to accommodate and the facilities that you would want on site.
Buying a condominium in Barbados is an excellent option for the long term as it has such unique short-term rental opportunities to see a regular return on your investment.
Renting a Barbados Condominium for your vacation is an ideal accommodation choice as everything you need will be within the complex and provides a tremendous flexible alternative to staying in a hotel. | 2019-04-21T10:27:36 | https://staging.totallybarbados.com/articles/accommodation/condominiums/ |

I like to think of myself as someone who depends on God’s Spirit, but today I didn’t have an option but.
Last night just before midnight as I was looking over my notes for today’s message, I heard Lisa yell for me to come to the basement right away.
Our bedroom is down there and unfortunately water was seeping up through the carpeting.
We did what we could to make sure nothing was damaged and finally went to bed around 1am.
The problem was it wasn’t to bed since our new house has two offices for us but no spare bed room.
So I ended up on the sofa and she ended up on the love seat in my office.
Of course I couldn’t’ sleep well for various reasons and only ended up with 2 hours sleep.
How I ended up functioning properly is beyond me.
How this turned out to be my favorite worship Experience since we launched 6 months ago has to do with the Holy Spirit and the awesome team that we’ve assembled.
We were doing a lot things differently today so our warm-up time went super long, so big thanks to Chad for filling in at the last minute to lead the team meeting and prayer time. By the way their basement flooded last night as well…ughhh.
The band as always did an awesome job leading worship.
After the greeting time we took a brief moment to prayer for the Fox family.
Their son JT passed away this past week at the age of 32. He was 1 of the 71 people who have made a profession of faith since we launched in October.
Just goes to show we never know how much time we have on this earth and why evangelism is so important.
Today was the wrap-up to our “Winning” series where we’ve been learning how to take filter pop culture through God’s Word so it helps us bridge the gap between God and the people in our culture.
Here’s a video showing how some are applying last week’s message.
After having looked at a popular movie and TV show the past two weeks, today we did a song that has been near the top of the rock charts for nearly 7 months now…”Waiting on the End” by Linkin Park.
It was cool having our drummer Steve do some of the vocals…reminded me of how Phil Collins used to sing and play drums at the same time.
I used this song as a jump off to the thing that is most valuable to God…people.
The key thought was…”Everybody that I have ever laid my eyes on is somebody for whom Jesus died”.
It of course helped to reinforce one of our core values at ExponentialChurch.tv….”Lost people matter to God and therefore they must matter to me”.
I can’t describe it but I knew something special was happening even as I was sharing the message…you’ll just have to listen for yourself.
The band came right out of my message with one of my favorite songs…”Tears of the Saints”.
This went right into communion and then back into everyone singing along to the bridge and chorus of “Tears of the Saints”.
I was a mess by this point and was somewhat relived when I got back on stage to see that most of the crowd was a mess as well.
God showed up big time and spoke to our hearts about how important people are and the urgency for reaching as many people as possible as quickly as possible.
To be honest I wasn’t sure how to transition at that point to offering so I just stood there like a deer in headlights for awhile and then had the people applaud for all that God has done and is yet to do.
During the announcement time I then announced not only what we’re doing next week for Easter (a message called, “Marked”…which I think will be at least as powerful as today) but also our next series starting May 1st.
It’s called iLife and as a part of the series we’re giving away 4 FREE iPads!
We had 2500 invite cards/tickets made up that look like iPads and our people can give them away to as many people as they want.
It was awesome seeing people walking out of the theater with huge stacks in their hands.
After the awesome Experience today I dreaded coming home.
Thanks to Larry and Melissa Evans for letting me borrow their shop vac.
I vacuumed for 6 hours this afternoon…not fun but necessary.
Hopefully now I can enjoy a relaxing evening and get some much needed sleep.
This week I’ve got two funerals to attend (including an out of town one), I’ve got to wrap up last minute details for Easter and prepare for the following Sunday as well since I leave early next week for Florida.
It sounds like an impossible week but as God proved today if I’ll rely on Him, He’ll give me all the strength I need. | 2019-04-25T16:32:25 | https://gilbertthurston.com/tag/ipad/ |

The DA has won the overseas vote by 7581, COPE got 918, ANC only got 673 out of the 9857 that were cast in total.
That only leaves a maximum of 622 for the VF+. They must be pretty annoyed after all the effort they went to.
It does mean that the DA secured 77% of the expat vote and can now change the Constitution of Putney and Wimbledon. Or something.
Anyway, now the DA can add those 7,581 votes to the approximately 1,200,000 they had about an hour ago.
“Drop in the ocean” or “Viva Democracy, Viva!!”? Or perhaps a bit of both?
Incidentally, I make that a 60.5% turnout overseas in comparison with 77% here in SA, which I find strange after all the court cases, acrimony and the effort that people had to make to register.
Rather apathetic. Which is only one more letter than this whole ex-pat voting saga has been from the start.
EDIT: Here’s a snap of the IEC’s overseas election results board. VF+ only polled 270 votes. Oops!

Following the recent kidnapping of a prominent Hong Kong businessman whose captors demanded a ransom paid in Bitcoin, Taiwanese Financial Supervisory Committee Chairman Tseng Ming-Chun declared on Monday that Bitcoin transactions would no longer be legal in Taiwan. The move comes after prolonged resistance on the part of the FSC to the popularity of Bitcoin in Taiwan.
According to the statement by Mr. Ming-Chun, the central bank of Taiwan would begin working with various governments around the world to ensure that Bitcoin services are not provided to Taiwanese residents. Mr. Ming-Chun has, in the past, rejected the idea of legal protections for Bitcoin as a monetary device. In 2014, he directly stated that Bitcoin ATMs would not be approved nor allowed by the FSC, and that those who chose to do business or conduct financial transactions in Bitcoin were “on their own.”Taiwan is one of the countries in which Bitcoin has been most widely adopted. It is even common for residents to purchase basic necessities and pay utility bills in the cryptocurrency. However, Bitcoin has become a regular financial tool for criminal practices, due largely to its untraceable nature.
Underground websites are known for providing illegal services or products in exchange for Bitcoin payments. A prominent example was Silk Road, a website that provided most major Schedule 1 drugs in exchange for Bitcoin.While the statement made by Mr. Ming-Chun on behalf of the FSC was clear that Bitcoin would no longer be legal in Taiwan, it made no mention of other cryptocurrencies. Feathercoin and Litecoin are two popular alternatives to Bitcoin, and there are hundreds of lesser cryptocurrencies available. It is not yet clear if the regulation will be expanded to ban all cryptocoins, or if only Bitcoin will be affected by this move. | 2019-04-20T05:18:11 | https://www.investing.co.uk/taiwan-classifies-bitcoin-as-an-illegal-asset/ |

Very well presented. Comfortable, with great facilities, friendly staff and an excellent breakfast. Had a very peaceful sleep. My only complaint is that I didn’t spend long enough here!
Great staff, very friendly and attentive. Great food, especially the breakfast. Fantastic bed and shower. Would definitely recommend this hotel!
Only stayed one night en route to ferry next morning. Met all our expectations and would happily recommend this hotel – either as a stopover (like us) or even as a base to explore the area. Parking was no problem and although we did not use all facilities – it appears to offer a good package for various travel needs (business or pleasure).
We liked everything, couldn’t fault this hotel. We had bar food there, which was fabulous and our waiter couldn’t have done anything more for us, he was fantastic.

Sibongile Khumalo, South Africa’s first lady of song, will play her only UK show with her band, alongside special guests Gloria Bosman and Thandiswa Mazwai, as part of the EFG London Jazz Festival.
Khumalo is a singer who has defined the rich and multi-sourced Southern African singing tradition with her impeccable musical prowess. She, and her cohorts, will perform on 21 November at Cadogan Hall.
Bosman combines careers in music and theatre. She has carved a remarkable musical biography having performed and sung with the cream of South African musicians. She has played a string of great shows at the Market Theatre, most recently Hugh Masekela’s Songs of Migration.
Mazwai, the South African award-winning artist described by the Guardian as ‘South Africa’s finest contemporary singer’ is the former lead singer of Bongo Maffin.
She is now stepping out as a solo artist and has collaborated with artists that include Meshell N’degeocello. She’s guested with Hugh Masekela several times in London, and sang with Paul Simon in Hyde Park on the Graceland tour.
The show celebrates these big voices with personalities to match. Building on last year’s hugely successful strand of South African work at the festival, Cadogan Hall hosts an evening filled with musical heritage and attitude.
Bongani Tembe, Commissioner-General of the SA-UK Seasons, said of the trio: “Sibongile Khumalo, Thandiswa Mazwai and Gloria Bosman are three distinguished solo artists who have made an important contribution to South Africa’s musical landscape for a very long time. | 2019-04-20T12:48:25 | https://www.thesouthafrican.com/south-african-divas-to-perform-at-efg-london-jazz-festival/ |

The internet has forever changed the way in which people, organization and machines communicate. As internet access has become commoditized, internet functionality is being tied into much more than just cellphones and computers. The internet is now being embedded into devices ranging from watches to refrigerators and is quickly welcoming the era of the “internet of everything�. Although the usage rate of these new access points to the internet is still low, the trend is in the early stages and will inevitably reach a tipping point in the future where consumers and businesses will interact with common products, vehicles and devices in a much different way than they have in the past.
As devices gain additional functional and communicative abilities, specific applications and processes will be built into these applications to further streamline common tasks, as well as analyze data to make proactive suggestions. From a company perspective, it’s important to understand that this trend is occurring and decisions need to be made as to how your organization will most effectively participate in this paradigm shift.
