Hello out there!
My name is Alanna Wicks and I’ve just come on with the ICH Office as the Youth Heritage Forum Coordinator. My background is in Anthropology and Folklore and since finishing up my MA in Public Folklore in 2012 I have spent my time working and volunteering with archives and community groups in St. John’s, NL and Halifax, NS.
I’ll be hanging out around the ICH Office for the next couple of months organizing an exciting new forum for the youth of our community to come together and talk about heritage and what that word means to them. Being a youth in this community myself (30 is just around the corner!) I know that there are many more individuals like myself that have a great interest in what’s happening in and around our community and would love a place to talk to like minded folks about just that.
The Youth Heritage forum will bring together individuals, aged 18 to 35, from various backgrounds to hear from their peers who are working and involved in the field of heritage, and to engage in an informal discussion about heritage and their place in the community. We want to hear what young people think and feel about heritage and what they would like to see happen within this area in the future. Participants of the forum will also be invited to discuss the creation of a new youth heritage committee that would meet in the future to discuss what’s happening in the field of heritage and to stay informed about opportunities, projects, events, and so on.
The Youth Heritage Forum will take place March 7th, 2015 at The Lantern, 10am to 2pm.
Entertainment and lunch will be provided.
If you’re interested in join the forum or would like more information please contact me at 739-1892 or [email protected]

Because the terms and conditions seldom transform, the many birth looks are tremendous. Certain muezzins keeps breathtaking voices and others don’t. Some chant while some virtually play. Possibly, the new interests away from beste Dating-Seiten für Cuckold-Singles birth helps to make the label gorgeous. Sometimes, the phone call are discouraging. In the Marrakech, Morocco, I was distressed to know the brand new grating sound of your own muezzin getting in touch with regarding popular Koutoubia Mosque. Even worse, he would trigger brand new loudspeaker just before the guy come and everyone was subjected to his hawking and throat-clearing. The most wonderful you to definitely We read was a student in a small community when you look at the Turkey; it was not forcibly increased (which is uncommon) plus it was created far more significant when i spotted maybe not just boys and some females, but some smiling lovers walking during the a steady stream into the short mosque.
Yes…regardless of if it is just cuatro:31 are and that i you prefer way more sleep (an early morning type may have a supplementary range regarding prayer being a lot better than sleep). ..but really I believe things spiritual when the label begins. I feel that it’s such an effective prayer i am also usually sometime surprised when not one person seems to shell out one desire while i, the newest non-believer (the newest infidel!), avoid and give another of silence in respect. I love there is a reliable reminder to be effective. While i don’t hope, it is the next from reflection personally.
Once i is coping with children regarding the old medina from Rabat, Morocco when you’re studying Arabic (various other facts for the next time), the house try right across the street to a different mosque and you may but a few prevents on oldest mosque. My family members’ home are several reports up and the fresh new rooftop top terrace was only a level otherwise a couple underneath the minaret speakers. Moroccan homes on Medina are particularly discover. Much of the fresh new living area are an enormous platform. This is possible in Rabat, when the phone call been (amplified definitely), it was because if I happened to be looking at the latest monster audio system. Another muezzin at the almost every other mosque create initiate merely good little at the rear of. As their appearances was in fact comparable, it actually was nearly since if the second telephone call is a slight reflect of the first. Each other muezzins had really nice melodic sounds. The muezzin at eldest mosque could recite bits of this new Quran into the an identical types of presentation from the afternoons.As i was at an art gallery to the a mountain when you look at the Ankara, Poultry. I got only exited new museum and you can was enjoying the view when you’re looking at a bench overlooking the city if the calls began…from inside the music! Sound journey up and there have been all the calls to prayer of all related mosques drifting up to me personally whenever i basked under the sun.
One night, out of my resort from inside the Marrakech, I experienced a comparable feel (regardless if on Koutoubia’s muezzin dominating). It actually was cacophonous, however, swinging still. The very next day, I visited top of the terrace to see how many mosques there had been. Versus straining my personal attention way too much, We counted more than ten minarets in the region.
While i in the morning writing this, the night time telephone call (a little once 7pm) has begun. It is merely you to definitely solitary phone call also it tunes haunting and far away, however it is in fact a little near. As my personal area faces an excellent leafy deck as well as the hotel are five tales highest, the latest voice is a bit muffled and drifts over. I stop to listen.
Note: When you yourself have maybe not experienced reading the phone call so you can prayer, you could create an easy yahoo getting Adhan and you will appear with many different YouTube recordings as you are able to listen too. While it is simply 11 mere seconds long (only the first line of your Adhan), We highly recommend the attempt into the Wikipedia web page. The new muezzin are Hafiz Zeeshan Kasimuddin just who resides in Canada. Undoubtedly stunning.

Oh, and Michael Crawford from Progress City, USA was there, too. it is also the debut of the Metro Retro Historical Society, which promises to be an evolving group of guests which are brought into discuss slightly geekier topics (and the WEDWay boys are already plenty geeky).
The episode clocks in at just under two hours as we discuss Future World–what was the original intent and how it has changed over the years. It is the longest WEDWay Radio Episode so far.

- Is everything better on a boat?
- Which EPCOT Center attraction was for parents only?

A lot of people are driving pledges with backer incentives. Here’s mine:
I plan to complete one story each week. At the end of the six weeks, all backers will receive copies of the stories written during the Write-a-thon along with a bonus story.
So I just wanted to point out – you get to pick the donation amount. In return, you’re getting at least seven Cat Rambo short stories, which, although they’ll be a bit drafty, I’d like to think is a pretty good value. 😉

Big Jay McNeely, the tenor sax player who began recording R&B hits here in 1949, and "helped define Los Angeles rhythm and blues and set the stage for the rock ’n’ roll explosion of the 1950s," died Sunday in Riverside County at age 91. Obits in the LA Times, New York Times and LA Weekly. "Farewell Big Jay. We all thought you’d go on forever," author Lynell George tweeted. Photo by Gary Leonard in 2014.
A writer for the Clippers, a Dreamer on the GalaxyThe LA Clippers made some unexpected media news on Monday night. ESPN reported that the NBA team has hired Lee Jenkins, a Sports Illustrated senior writer known for his profiles, to a new position they are calling executive director of research and identity. "The Clippers are banking on the belief that Jenkins, one of the industry's preeminent sports journalists, can translate his talent, ethics and instincts as a storyteller and his unique study of people into the franchise's ambitious basketball pursuits, " says ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, who had the news. Want to shift the local basketball narrative from the Lakers adding LeBron James? Add a narrative journalist!
Earlier on Monday, the Players' Tribune posted a first-person piece by Miguel Aguilar, a midfielder for the LA Galaxy, detailing his family's escape from the Juarez drug cartels when he was 11 years old. They drove to Sacramento, where his temporary via expired and his presence in the U.S. became illegal. His status remained undocumented until he was in college at USF, when President Obama's executive order created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. Aguilar became the first Dreamer to play pro soccer in the U.S., but his status is up in the air under the Trump Administration. "I believe that one day I will be an American citizen, on paper — the same way I know I am an American in every other way," he writes.
Also in sports: Ralph Lawler, the Clippers' long-serving broadcaster, announced last week that he would retire after the coming season... The Los Angeles Kings will air ten games this hockey season in Spanish on ESPN Deportes AM 1330. The broadcast team has yet to be named... And the New York Times checks in on Frank McCourt's ownership of the top soccer team in Marseille. If the Dodgers miss the playoffs this season, and they might, it will be only the second time since McCourt departed as owner.
Media notesSeems like a safe bet that they won't be inviting Colin Jost and Michael Che back to host the Emmys. And none of their writers either, hopefully. "Simply too much 'SNL,'" CNN's Brian Lowry observes of Monday night's tepid broadcast. It was kinda like the last half-hour of too many SNLs. "A cringe-worthy, tone-deaf embarrassment," said Kevin Fallon at the Daily Beast. HBO and Netflix shows tied for the most trophies.
After reading Sunday morning about the Northern California professor coming forward to say that SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh attacked her as a teenager, Caitlin Flanagan wrote for The Atlantic about her own attempted rape in high school. It affected her deeply, and her assailant took responsibility and apologized.
The San Diego Union-Tribune, the other paper acquired by Patrick Soon-Shiong, profiled local immigrants to show the perhaps under-appreciated presence and impact in the county. They wrapped the Sunday paper in this stunning graphic... Soon-Shiong may not be satisfied with owning the LA Times and the U-T. He could also be the key player in a deal being discussed that could merge McClatchy's Bee newspapers in Northern California with Tronc, the LAT's former owner, and basically save daily journalism in a bunch of U.S. cities. Newsonomics' Ken Doctor analyzes the possibilities... California billionaires Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk should repair their public reputations by buying newspapers here, Zocalo's Joe Mathews suggests.
LA Taco published its first documentary video, Mousetrap, which follows the lives of two Disneyland employees who have to work multiple jobs in order to afford living in or around Anaheim. An audio documentary is promised for Tuesday... The Los Angeles Film Festival runs Sept. 20-28 in (ahem) Culver City, at the ArcLight Cinemas...
The Hollywood Reporter launched a monthly restaurant review column. "Senior writer Gary Baum will review one restaurant per month, based on multiple visits with reservations made under another name. All meals are paid for by THR." First up is Tesse, "Bill Chait's brashly ambitious bistro on L.A.'s Sunset Strip."... Jacob Bernstein in the NYT says that flea markets are fading away in New York, "yet in Los Angeles, good weather, job scarcity and higher commercial real-estate costs have fueled a thriving swap-meet scene." He focuses on the long-running Rose Bowl market... Tech developer Dan Stillman wrote a browser extension that returns bylines to the redesigned New York Times web home page.
Oops: Looks like the LA Times ran two obits for Wakako Yamauchi, the Japanese American playwright. One, by staffer Jessica Gelt, ran print and web shortly after Yamauchi died on August 16. And another, from the Washington Post, posted on Sept. 12. It's the latter, non-LAT obit that's getting top billing on the site.
LAT editor's plea in memo: Stop defacing the new officeLos Angeles Times executive editor Norm Pearlstine is used to grappling with the big questions in journalism: in fact, he wrote an unusual column in his own paper earlier this month pointing out why Donald Trump's calls to change the libel laws probably won't do anything. He also has to deal with the small things, apparently. A memo he sent around last week instructed the staff to tone down its counter-decorating of Patrick Soon-Shiong's new newsroom in El Segundo.

Subject: An Email to All Editorial Employees
In the past few weeks we have seen some, ahem, colorful DIY décor popping up on our news floors. Refrigerator doors have been decorated and posters have been affixed to furniture, including, most conspicuously, one depicting a vending machine on a the newly-installed phone booth.
Our old building, much like our old company, was in a state of near-total disrepair. The new Los Angeles Times is ascendant, and we have the good fortune to inhabit a beautiful building whose design and furnishings merit appreciation and respect. It is unfortunate that some find humor in defacing our new work space.
Please be assured that we do not seek to limit communication. We have, for example, created comfortable and functional sitting areas to encourage conversation and collaboration. We are also installing bulletin boards on floors devoted to editorial, so all employee notices can be posted, and, as a reminder, all employees may decorate their personal work areas consistent with Times policies. (End caps of desks, however, are not part of the personal work area.)
As has occurred since our move into the new building, on a daily basis, housekeeping and security will assist in ensuring that our building retains its professional appearance and décor.
Much of our building is still under construction and, as you know, an adjacent building is being renovated to accommodate studios and a conference center. When finished, the Los Angeles Times campus will be extraordinary.
In the next few weeks, as we approach the 100-day mark following completion of Nant Media’s acquisition of the Times, we shall communicate more with all of you, making sure you know where we are going and how we are going to get there.
Thanks and best regards,
Media people doing stuffAnderson Cooper on CNN blasted the right-wing propaganda media for spreading the made-up meme that he faked coverage of the recent hurricane... Alejandra Campoverdi, (pictured), the former LA Times editor and Obama official who ran for Congress from downtown in 2017, writes for Cosmopolitan about her upcoming breast removal surgery after learning she carries the BRCA gene mutations...

He's a former reporter for Politico and AP... Julie Makinen, the former Beijing reporter and film editor for the LAT, was named executive editor of the Desert Sun in Palm Springs. "Thrilled to be working with such a great group of talented and ambitious journalists, and helping shape California strategy for Gannett and the USA Today Network," she posted on social media... LAT deputy politics editor Julie Westfall has left the paper: "Next up for me: I’ll be doing some training and consulting, traveling a bit, then looking for my next challenge."... Geoff Boucher, years ago the Hero Complex blogger and columnist at the LA Times, has joined Deadline in the newly created position of genre editor, meaning he will "specialize in breaking news, features and analysis of 'Comic-Con culture.'"
Jobs: The LA Times continues to hire, while the Southern California News Group is looking for an opinion editor to oversee the editorial pages at all 11 papers, including the Register and the Daily News: "We are seeking an ambitious, audience-oriented editor who believes in promoting public discourse, effecting change in public policy and ensuring that government is accountable to the public."...

Federal Government denied necessary responsibility for ensuring an adequate protection of violence affected women Federal Government denied necessary responsibility for ensuring an adequate protection of violence affected women. Women’s advice centre, emergency calls and houses request a guaranteed land financing of the help system instead of the current, always uncertain and administrative complex mixed financing for years. Despite significant gaps and a reduction due to the shrinking aid offer for violence-affected women, negates the Government a structural deficiency and insists on keeping the ailing financing of a system of assistance which a substantial increase in demand is imminent. To know more about this subject visit YMCA Jorge Perez. Often up to 25% of its human resources must use Hamburg, 17.08.12. women’s advice centre to ensure the wide level of the institution.

The current supply not do justice to this mission statement: the waiting time for a consultation appointment amounts to some two to three weeks. In rural areas, also the “next” counselling is often too far away to be reached. Necessary intervention offers are not possible due to the lack of human resources, although professional knowledge and skills are available. The wait time for therapy courses is more than six months, the specific knowledge is missing many therapists to successfully treat victims of domestic violence.
Deletion of posts and resources search deter women’s counselling centres and homes, maintain sufficient publicity. Women, the only mental-verbal or other non-physical violence experienced in their partnership are due to the structure and dynamics of Abuse relationships often unaware that her experience subject to domestic violence, they are entitled to help and how/where they get it. “Many women are totally surprised when they hear that women’s counselling centres and women’s shelters are open to women, suffer the”only”psychological violence”, Kerstin describes Zander, founder of re-empowerment.de and spokeswoman of the Association, the situation. Also, some virtually abstruse ideas existed about life in a women’s refuge.

Why go more and more young people, their parents and teachers? The messages also are piling up. Increasingly, one hears from students or other young people that dangerous goes from not always immediately known Beweggrundenb to parents or other persons involved in the education. Why is not always entirely clear. But again, you can hear the messages that children and young people on a normal people inexplicably obtain weapons and go to their guardians or teachers. But what’s behind it? Should it be not parents and teachers, which pave the way children and young people and show the way to a carefree life? Should they be part of the positive experiences of each young people? But they should. But exactly for the reason, because they come closest to the children approach and relies on the young people, is exactly why there are also those who can hurt the still so unstable to the extent young people.

Pirate Party participates in panel discussion of the Darmstadt-Dieburg County Student Council on Tuesday, February 2 Darmstadt-Dieburg took place from 10:00 to 11:30 in the packed meeting hall of the District Office a panel discussion on the subject of data protection. The district Student Council (KSR), consisting of the student representatives of all schools of the district and represents the interests of schoolchildren against the school had invited. The former Justice Minister and MdB Brigitte Zypries and Kathrin Johannsen sat on the podium alongside the presenter Saskia Millmann by the Alfred-Delp-Schule in Dieburg by the consumer Central Hesse, Germany. Not on the podium, but in the audience among the approximately 250 pupils, also representative of the Pirate Party of Darmstadt, the are brought into the discussion constructively and professionally well versed with. The questions of the students ranged from problems with Abmahn lawyers on the basis of downloaded, copyrighted works, about the misuse of data in social networks to the responsibility of politics over the Privacy of citizens.
Mrs. Johannsen could report mainly on the subject of cease and desist letter from her professional life on other issues she no longer came to speak. This quite quickly took over the Darmstadt-based candidate of the SPD, Ms. Zypries, and enlightened the students in that their data while legally protected from private companies, the State but have the right to collect the personal details of its citizens and to evaluate. The data allowed the State a more effective government work. In the course of the discussion, Brigitte Zypries supported the new draft of the youth media protection state contract of the Lander (JMStV), who is criticised as “renewed thrust in the direction of censorship” by the young Pirates (JuPis). So, including Internet content that not be labelled an age, should be filtered by access providers and not displayed.
Further Zypries argued that the use of streaming media was punishable if it is copyright-protected works, as it for example in the case was, and advised against by the use of the students. She could not explain the necessary technical process and the resulting legal facts on demand. The Pirate Party Darmstadt welcomes the commitment of the KSR closer to bring students to the important issue of data protection, but criticised the unilateral implementation of the Panel discussion by Ms. Zypries. Andre de Stefano of the Pirate Party of Darmstadt: “Politics may not draw from the responsibility and blame only the private sector data abuse without recognizing their own mistakes and correct.

Another Vendor Secured...After what seemed like forever, I found a videographer for our wedding! This vendor seemed to be the most difficult to decide on for some reason because, well, apparently taking a wedding video is very expensive (in my mind)! Or maybe I've simply experienced so much sticker shock that I just couldn't think through all the dollar signs I had swirling around in my head. Anyway, it's done, and much of the credit goes to my awesome cousin Emily who helped with the negotiations ;) She rocks, and I've dubbed her "The Negotiator," hoping to reserve her for future use.
Shopping Fun...The last weekend in June was a fun shopping weekend! My MOH (Maid of Honor) and I went shoe shopping! Woo-hoo! Heather is literally the Shoe Queen, and it's always a good time when we go shoe shopping. Our first stop was Nordstrom in Fashion Valley, where the largest Nordy's shoe department "lives." We tried on a pair of shoes that Marcia had pinned on Pinterest as a possible bridesmaid shoe. And we went with it! (CHECK!) I also bought my shoes that day. (CHECK! We packed the "Easy Button" for this shopping trip!) Then we went to Macy's to see what they had in the lingerie department, and wouldn't you know it, they were having a sale! I found some nice little pieces for the honeymoon ;) I also scored a really pretty dress for the rehearsal dinner, although I have to admit, it's so cute I may not be able to wait until the Fall to wear it! Sorry no pictures of the purchased merchandise because the groom subscribes to this blog...and he'll have to wait to see all the goodies...and so will you!
Our next stop was the bridal salon to pick up a few accessories that had come in and to take a look at a couple of flower girl dresses. I liked two that I saw, but it's so hard for me to visualize them in the colors I've considered.
Other Items of Note...I've received sooo many wonderful referrals for hair and makeup artists - thank you so much if you contributed! Ironically, you all think yours is THE BEST! hee hee I'm still making up (no pun intended) my mind on these but hope to secure them soon.
We got to meet our photographer this past week because she was in town on vacation (she lives up the 15 fwy in Riverside...thanks to Cousin Carol P for that referral!), and it was great to put a face to the name/voice. We brought Sophie so she could meet her, and it turns out that she used to breed Boxers!
I've officially started my pre-wedding workout program and I'm excited about it! I'm a little crazy like that. Oh and we've sent out most of our Save the Date cards...I said most because I miscounted and had to order more, so hopefully that task will be complete by the end of this week.
I think that's it for now...we have Pre-Cana this Saturday, so it's beginning to get real! My big project for the week: Invitations! Who would've thought this task could be so challenging...?
Until next time, I leave you with this:
"Our lives are made
In these small hours
These little wonders,
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away,
But these small hours,
These small hours still remain"

Have you ever met someone who seemed to have 'that certain something', who 'radiated confidence' or 'oozed sexiness'? What would it be like if you suddenly found yourself more attractive and appealing to be with, getting more positive attention from everyone you interact with every day? How much would you enjoy that kind of positive change in your life?
That is what you can expect when you are using pheromones. But, are you afraid you need a degree in chemistry to understand these products? Well, you don't, because here is the non-chemist's guide to personal chemistry. I will explain all you need to know so that you can have fun finding the magic formula that will take your social interactions to the next level ? right now!
What are pheromones and how do they affect others?
Think of them as fragrances that are designed not only to smell good, but also to affect people in a subtle and unconscious way - the same way you would be affected by being close to a very attractive person.
The kind of pheromone products you will decide to buy depends on the signals you want to send. There are many formulations on the market, that can generally can be categorized based on their desired effect.Based on this, they fall into these groups:
o Sexual stimulants and attractants (make you more sexy)
o Warm and fuzzy (make you more approachable, huggable, people want to get close to you)
o Man of the house (dominant but not necessarily sexual)
o Trust in a bottle (create trust and rapport with members of either sex)
That's right, although pheromone effects are more pronounced with members of the opposite sex, they do have a non-sexual effect on members of the same sex as well. The net effect is that others will perceive you as being more attractive and pleasant to be around in a number of ways.
And since the products mimic natural body chemistry, these reactions are quite natural and unconscious on the part of those people who are affected.Some of the people you meet will be more 'tuned into' the pheromones. I have found that a lot of younger women in particular are affected and attracted to the products. Nice to get that kind of attention, isn't it?
By the numbers
Here is how pheromones will work for you: Let's assume that you are a woman that guys might rate 7 on their attractiveness scale. What would it be like for you if you are suddenly perceived as a 8 or 8.5? What if you were a 5 and could suddenly be perceived as a 6.5 or 7?
Or, if you are a guy that is always 'just friends' with women - what would it be like to suddenly be perceived as sexier ? someone they just felt compelled to hold, to touch and kiss? Maybe you already come across to the ladies as sexually aggressive ? maybe too much so. Won't it be nice to be able to radiate the trust, comfort, and warmth that lets them feel safer around you?
Can you imagine the difference this would make in your life? It might range from dramatic to subtle to not at all, depending on the particular person and interaction. But you know you will feel more confident, interesting and attractive and have lots more opportunities and choices in social situations.
What they won't do - a reality check
So, will people be drawn to you like a magnet from across the room, or crowd around you just to bask in your presence? Maybe, but not likely.
Will every member of the opposite sex be hopelessly drawn to you? Not necessarily - some people just can't handle being around a very attractive person.Their reaction may be to 'freeze or flee' because you are just too hot to handle. Overall, a nice problem to have, don't you think?
Will you see a dramatic improvement in your love life? Probably, but that is largely up to you. But, you will have lots of opportunities to improve it using these products!
How they affect you
One of the more interesting and unexpected effects will be the change in how you feel after you start using the products.Because the pheromones affect you at the same time and the same way they are affecting others, and you will find yourself feeling more attractive and appealing ? not a bad side effect to have going into a social situation.
When pheromones go wrong - overdose?
Will it make a very sexy person sexier? There are situations where a little is good and a lot is not as good. (Happens with regular fragrances, too, doesn't it?) If you are already an 'alpha' male or female, adding pheromones to your chemistry may intimidate some members of the opposite sex or bring out aggressivenss in the members of the same sex as as they unconsciously react to the challenge you present.
Who uses them, who should use them
By now you have figured out that pheromones are not just for dating and sexual attraction.You may already be aware that psychological studies have shown that attractive people are more successful in all areas of life.
Anyone who is in sales, or has a lot of public contact will benefit from using pheromones. And, the advantages to someone who is dating and socializing are obvious. Or, you might be thinking that you want to rekindle the flame and add some excitement to your existing relationships.
How to get started Experimentation is the best way to find out what works best for you.Everyone's personal chemistry is different, and your mileage, as they say, will vary. Fortunately there are a number of samplers and beginner kits available and that is where you want to begin.
Experiment and have some fun. Try using the same product for several days in a row and pay attention to the reactions of people around you. Try it at the recommended application level, then vary it ? add a little extra, don't use quite as much. Then try another product for a while.And, most good pheromone suppliers will have lots of information and advice in on-line forums and discussion groups.
Do they work and are they worth it? Absolutely!!!

Every year my family asks what I want for Mother's Day and every year I face the same dilema. Should I tell them what I really want?.I've never told them the things that what I really want because I know I'll never get them. For example, what I really want for Mother's Day is an elegant dinner out a restaurant where I have to get dressed up and there is no kid's menu. But I don't want to dine at just any restaurant; I want it to be a restaurant in Paris.
What I'll actually ask for is a dinner out. What I'll get is a pancake dinner at IHOP. It's my daughter's favorite place and she is convinced that it's my favorite too. It's not actually number one on my list, however it has cheap kid's meals, fast service, paper placemats to color and it's close enough to the house that I only have to hear, "Are we there yet?" once or twice. What more can you ask for in a dining experience?.
The other thing I really want for Mother's Day is a weekend at a luxurious spa complete with a manicure, pedicure, facial, and daily massages. Oooh, that sounds so nice, I'm getting relaxed just thinking about it. I'll actually ask for some fancy bath soap and a chance for a nice soothing hot soak.
What I'll get is about ten minutes of quiet in the bathtub before I get interrupted over and over again. "Mom, where are my socks?" "Mom, where are the scissors?" "Mom, where are the band aids?" The last one normally gets me out of the bath in a hurry.Another thing that I really want for Mother's Day is one of those great cruises with the Disney Characters. The commercials make them look like so much fun.
My family could play in the pool together all day and at night I could enjoy the adult entertainment with my husband. What I'll actually ask for is an afternoon of fun together. We'll probably go to the local park or zoo. It'll be nice, but it just won't be the same as a cruise with Mickey and Minnie.Don't get me wrong; I love the presents that I get. I especially love the presents that my seven-year-old daughter makes for me: the I Love You Mom pencil holder, the picture frame studded with colored macaroni, the bead necklaces.
(I remember making ashtrays for my mom when I was little, but I guess that's not politically correct anymore.).My favorite present, though, is one that my daughter can't make and can't buy at a store. My favorite present of all is when my daughter gives me a giant-squeezey hug and I hear her say, "You're the best, Mom.
".So when my daughter asks me what I want most of all for Mother's Day, that's what I'll tell her. Actually there's something that I want more than that, but I know I can never get it. I want it more than any fancy dinner, cruise or weekend away at a spa.
What I really want is a way to put some extra giant-squeezey hugs in a box and save them for when my daughter is fifteen and thinks I'm a complete idiot. When she runs into her room to be alone, I'll be able to open my little box of hugs, take one out and remember one of the best things about being a mom.

As I was preparing a unit on expressions (translating, evaluating, and simplifying), I decided to branch out and include a real-world “problem” to entice students to see the benefit of writing equations and expressions. I ended up creating a video detailing a pretty involved scenario in which students would need to sift through possible constants and variables. At the end of the video, I asked the question – How can you model a possible solution to this problem? Because my 5th grade son’s teacher is such a great sport, she offered to test the lesson in her classroom and we certainly found some interesting results. Upon being asked to generate a model for the problem, all the students started drawing these elaborate schematics and asked if they could create them in 3-D. It became very evident that students aren’t quite comprehending the numerous meanings of math models. Looking over Henry Pollak’s discussions on math modeling for the common core, I decided to make a follow-up video helping students see that mathematical modeling can take many different forms. Here is the link to the original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXBL79tlBg4. I would love for teachers to try showing this video to their students and see if their misconceptions for math modeling are the same. The youtube link for the math modeling video is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iew9nppByKs&feature=youtu.be.

Floating farms, brain wave passwords, and coffee-powered automobiles are simply among the unbelievable inventions and improvements that will form our future. To supply the most effective medical care, in-depth understanding of the patient is key, and recent advances in expertise have allowed medical professionals to realize a deeper perception. Though this downside will not be solved by 2020, with these new IT universities and academies, we are able to repair the state of affairs by 2050. The Future Applied sciences Convention presents the most effective of current techniques analysis and practice, emphasizing innovation and quantified experience.
The Japanese Robotic Association got here out with a report indicating robots of all kinds could be present within the home and workplace by the 12 months 2020. While many of the ideas might never be produced, the program creates anything from narratives to prototypes to assist get the ideas across, and stimulate debate. The applications provide study questions, actions, and even checks and quizzes for a class that may help students proceed learning outdoors the classroom.
Researchers, lecturers and technologists from main universities, analysis corporations, authorities companies and firms from 50+ international locations present the most recent analysis on the forefront of technology and computing. One of many clearest indicators of next-gen expertise seems to be the utilization of micro-SIM as an alternative of the regular SIM.
Furthermore, robotics will velocity up the method of innovation, therefore disrupting and modifying the paradigm of the long run enterprise operations. With the increasing development of DL (#1), robotics (#5), technological assistance (#s 6 and seven), and purposes of AI (#10), know-how has moved beyond society’s ability to manage it simply. We hope that this report, its recommendations and accompanying framework provide some ‘meals for thought’ on expertise and digital studying.
Plenty of business specialists say the concept of increased mobility know-how is nearly certain in 10 years. The Pandora’s field of future technological alternative is unlikely to be held shut. Mike, Euvie and their guests do an exceptional job of simplifying some extremely advanced concepts in a structured, entertaining manner. The professionals that we’ve got these days are at the moment experiencing shorter workweeks because they are getting their enterprise issues accomplished more rapidly as a result of technology.

Let's spend this week discussing the CRAFT of writing.
A year ago, a wonderful agent read part of a WIP that I was really struggling with and offered the following advice:
"[This] is a more pedestrian beginning, but I don't think that more dialogue and talking means a scene and action, necessarily, because the dialogue really is very day-to-day, boring stuff."
This was very helpful, because it made me realize that while I was trying to write a realistic scene, it was boring. Just because the dialogue is accurate and realistic, doesn't mean we need to waste words on the page relating the obvious.
THE FIRE IN FICTION by Donald Maass:
"A common downfall of many scenes is dialogue. The characters talk, talk, talk, but scenes spin in circles and don't travel much of anywhere...The process of stripping it down and finding the tension in it can be revealing. It can help define the purpose of a scene" (pages 60-61).
Grab a section of dialogue from your current WIP and ask yourself the following questions:
1. Why are your characters talking to each other?
2. What's the purpose?
3. Are the lines bogged down with unnecessary dialogue tags?
4. Is there a source of tension in the dialogue that moves it forward, making the reader want to turn the page?
Here's another great exercise suggested by Donald Maass (paraphrased and shortened by me):
1. Select a two-person dialogue scene from your WIP.
2. Strip out all dialogue tags (he said, she said) and incidental action.
3. Rewrite the dialogue entirely as an exchange of insults.
4. Rewrite the dialogue with rapid fire exchanges with each response only 1-5 words.
5. Rewrite the dialogue with only one character speaking and the other responding with non-verbal gestures.
6. Without referring to the original WIP, rewrite the scene using the best of the results from this exercise.
THE FIRE IN FICTION page 78.
Here's a previous post on dialogue: Listening to Teenagers
Were any of these tips helpful to you? What is your best advice for writing great dialogue?

Dream Girl director Raaj Shaandilyaa on the Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer's quirky title
Ayushmann Khurrana in Dream Girl; (right) Hema Malini
Hema Malini is known as the Dream Girl, but in 2019, Ayushmann Khurrana is eyeing the title," says writer-director Raaj Shaandilya, whose next borrows its name from the 1971 film. The comedy sees Khurrana play a small-town guy who bags the role of Sita in Ram-Leela, owing to his ability to speak in a female voice.
"He gave his nod to the film in 10 minutes. Ayushmann will be seen in different avatars. The story is such that he has to stay in disguise to save himself. We wanted a quirky title that would justify the story," says Shaandilyaa, who has previously written sketches for Comedy Circus and Comedy Night With Kapil. He credits fellow writer Nirvaan for the wacky storyline. "Ayushmann often jokes that this is the first time he is working with a director younger than him, and I turned him into a woman."

Struggles with his weight might have cost him a leading man’s conventional career arc, but this native New Yorker’s indisputable presence and gifts granted Edmond O’Brien some four decades as one of Hollywood’s most compelling character players.
Born in the Bronx, Redmond O’Brien was ten when he discovered his penchant for performing, entertaining neighborhood kids with tricks shown to him by neighbor Harry Houdini. He became involved with community theatre during his high school years in Westport, Connecticut, and he’d go on to pursue a drama major at Fordham and Columbia.
He was 21 when he made his Broadway debut in “Daughter of Atrus,” and he’d spend the late ’30s building a remarkable stage resume marked by appearances in John Gielgud’s “Hamlet,” Laurence Olivier’s “Romeo and Juliet” and Orson Welles’ “Julius Caesar.”
The film industry was beckoning by then, and after an extra role in Prison Break, he made a strong billed debut in 1939 as the callow young poet in the RKO classic, The Hunchback of Notre Dame with Charles Laughton and Maureen O’Hara. His handful of follow-ups before reporting for WWII military duty were less memorable, though he’d acquit himself well in the all-serviceman-starring project Winged Victory. He returned from the war a little heftier, and he found his skills particularly in demand for the now-burgeoning film noir cycle and other crime-drama projects over the rest of the decade, as evidenced by The Killers in 1946, The Web (1947), An Act of Murder in ’48, and in one of his best films of the decade, White Heat in 1949, as an undercover cop trying the get the goods on James Cagney, who uttered one of the most famous lines in movie history — “Made it, Ma! Top of the world!” During the period, he broke away from his noir theme in 1948 to do two movies which were very popular, For The Love Of Mary at Universal with that studio’s biggest star, Deanna Durbin, and a WWII combat film for Warner Brothers, Fighter Squadron.
He’d open the ’50s with what’s now regarded as his signature performance, the poisoning victim spending his last hours on a quest to finger his own murderer in the imaginative noir staple D.O.A. After sqeezing a light comedy into his busy schedule, The Admiral Was A Lady for United Artists, the next few years would be primarily marked by more memorable noirs (Between Midnight and Dawn, Backfire, Man in the Dark, Two Of A Kind) but his turns in 711 Ocean Drive in 1950 and The Hitch-Hiker in ’53 cemented his place in the film noir pantheon.
Proving to film audiences that he could do Shakespeare as well as crime thrillers, he appeared as Casca in Joseph Mankiewicz’ Julius Caesar, before landing his one career Academy Award for his efforts as the morally bankrupt press agent in Mankiewicz’ The Barefoot Contessa in 1954. By the end of the decade, he’d be doing copious TV work for drama anthology series, while keeping a full slate of screen projects like Shield for Murder (his directing debut), Pete Kelly’s Blues, 1984, D-Day: The Sixth of June, A Cry in the Night, Stopover Tokyo, the classic WWII action drama Up Periscope and who could ever forget his ‘Fats’ Murdock in The Girl Can’t Help It as he tries to make a star of Jayne Mansfield.
O’Brien remained busy over the course of the ’60s, headlining various TV series (“Johnny Midnight,” “Sam Benedict,” “The Long, Hot Summer”) and remaining in demand on the big screen, as evidenced by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance in 1962, Birdman of Alcatraz also in ’62, Seven Days in May in 1964 (bringing his second career Oscar nomination), Synanon, a no-holds barred look at drug addiction in ’65 and opposite Raquel Welch in the sci-fi favorite Fantastic Voyage (1966).
His last truly memorable screen gig came with The Wild Bunch, though he appeared steadily in films and episodic TV through the mid-’70s. By then, sadly, his ability to work was compromised by the onset of Alzheimer’s disease, which would ultimately claim the actor’s life a decade later.
He summed up his experience in Hollywood when he said, “Versatility is a dangerous thing. It’s very satisfying to portray many types of roles, but often your own identity gets lost. Seldom does a producer say, ‘This is an Eddie O’Brien part.’ On the other hand, while the rewards may be great in fame and financially for stars, the work becomes monotonous. No actor who plays himself is a happy person.”
Now, check out out a very young Edmond O’Brien in the theatrical trailer for Fighter Squadron:

CMS Updates FAQs on Nursing Home Visitation
On January 6, 2022, the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) updated the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) released on December 23rd, 2021, which clarify their updated Nursing Home Visitation Guidance from November.The updated FAQs continue to emphasize that visitation must be permitted at all times and state that visitation is critical for residents, acknowledging that past limits on visitation led to physical and psychosocial decline. Key updates include:
- While visitation should still occur, states may instruct facilities to take additional measures to make visitations safer, including wearing well-fitting masks, such as surgical or KN95s. States should work directly with CMS on measures they are considering.
- When outbreaks occur, facilities should continue consulting with state and local health departments to determine when modifications to visitation policies are appropriate. All discussions with the health department should be documented as should all measures facilities have taken to attempt to control the spread of COVID-19.
- Facilities should continue permitting visitation as cases spike due to the Omicron variant.
The guidance states that visitation must still be permitted despite rising cases and emphasizes residents’ federal right to make choices about their lives in a facility and their right to visitation (42 CFR 483.10(f)(2) and (4)).Vaccination is strongly encouraged though not required and extra precautions for reducing the risk of COVID-19 transmission are suggested. Consumer Voice strongly encourages all family members to follow all infection prevention protocols that facilities require while visiting, including: proper masking, hand washing, social distancing, and rescheduling visits if you have symptoms of, or test positive for, COVID-19. Additionally, we strongly advise all visitors to get vaccinated before visiting and to test if possible before entering a facility.

As a somewhat profound conversation often include familiar expressions such as “I can so relate to…”, “I totally understand what you…” and “I know exactly what you mean …”, we get to assess that both subjectivity and compassion truly have become us when it comes to listening to and caring for the others. This is especially relevant in cases where we can clearly identify with what they are going through. In addition, those two notions go hand-in-hand as being a people-person not only pushes you to feel sincere sympathy and understanding, but as the definition of compassion states, “it is [also] accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering."
But then a sudden thought came up: bringing me to wonder about the fine distinction between objectivity and subjectivity, asking myself how it would be like to actually sit in a jury. Surely, giving a honest opinion or piece of advice always comes from the heart and your right-hand mind, no matter how close you are with someone…
…Or wait a second, is that really true? Consider the times where you were expected to have a clear-cut objective stand on a subject; do you not reckon that being judgmental or even "hard" on people does seem much easier when not directly connected to the person? Would the answer be a crystal clear yes? Most definitely. But when the same wrong doings are committed by someone you know/appreciate/love… Even if you aren't directly concerned since it's not your story and problems to solve, you recognize that your level of tolerance and humanness instantly goes up a notch. Of course, it is not presumed that because kindness and familiarity came into the way, that your vision started to blur your very own idea of right and wrong. But it forces you to take out your goggles and look further into the other side of the fence, helping you gain new perspectives. Finally, everything appears to be so much bigger as you realize that the two sides of a story can maybe involve, not only a person you care about but also, in the best or the worst of cases, the fence just turns into a mirror.
Recollect all the times you had a strong opinion on a sensitive topic, all those years being so very sure about your thoughts on this and that, even perhaps believe you know better… What happens if those principles are put into test? You will probably be tempted yet not give in, but don't ever conclude your morals cannot be shut down. Food for thought: “Never say never” wasn’t invented for nothing. Indeed, life sometimes brings you to the most surprising places, which are, for instance, being put in someone else’s shoes: those of one you were convinced you’d never ever be in. A little confused? Then try thinking outside the box and really imagine how it feels to be behind the fence.
The distinction between subjectivity and objectivity, to be given the permission to judge or not… takes a whole different dimension the very second you honestly comprehend this subtle analysis. "I know exactly what you mean... Don't I?" I've been there before." When you cross the line over to the unthinkable, like someone you love has, like someone you don’t appreciate has, like someone you do not know has… At the end of the day, it isn’t a question of which side of the fence you stand on that matters, what is important simply calls for yet another great reality check: experiences -- the best and especially the worst of them -- are only packaged with a handful of lessons. These people, whoever they are, manage to learn from them. And so will you! Piece of cake.

This is the latest in a series (of indefinite length and regularity) of blog posts memorializing cancelled toys. Our figure today is The Mummy Minimates four-pack.
This set would have been part of Series 3 of the Universal Monsters Minimates line, alongside the Hunchback of Notre Dame figures. But the factory where they were being made fell behind schedule, so they chose to bump DST in favor of bigger customers; by the time production would have started, it would have been too late for the set, so it ended up cancelled.
The one bright spot is that three of the four figures were available at Toys "Я" Us: Imhotep and his awesome sarcophagus in one set, and Anck-Es-En-Amon with an exclusive Frank Whemple, so technically only the Helen Grosvenor Minimate went unreleased. Still, if you were holding out to get the four-pack, you missed out.

Forged with a 9-inch blade of Friodur ice-hardened German steel, the Miyabi Morimoto Edition Bread Knife belongs to a series created by Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto for Zwilling J.A. Henckels’ new Japanese branch — Miyabi of Seki, Japan.
This nicely balanced bread knife uses one blank of high carbon stainless steel to form a one-piece full tang knife with a solid stainless steel bolster. Although the knife is manufactured in Japan, the handle design meets European standards. Triple-riveted handle slabs of black polymer are permanently bonded to the knife’s tang, matching the angled bolster with gap-free precision.
Chef Masaharu Morimoto — famous for his fusion blend of Japanese, European, and Asian cuisines — designed the 600-S series of knives for Miyabi. Chef Morimoto recommends this knife for western chefs new to Japanese blades, who prefer familiar grips instead of the traditional Japanese handle styles. The Friodur steel used in this bread knife also has familiar qualities, since it’s the same steel — hardened to Rockwell 57 for toughness and easy sharpening — that Henckels uses in its German-made cutlery.
Each 600-S knife is produced by Japanese craftsmen and finished with a traditional three-stage honing process. The razor-sharp edge serrations should be long-lived if the knife is used with care. Don’t dull the edge by drawing the knife across glass or ceramic. Use plastic or wooden cutting boards beneath hard-crusted rolls and breads.
For a smaller European-style bread knife, see the 8-inch Victorinox Forged Bread Knife.

Pittsburgh, PA – Full service digital marketing agency 5F Marketing is pleased to announce that it is focusing on the automotive industry and is available to help businesses of every size and budget across the nation. Providing marketing for every lifecycle of a vehicle, through car dealers, auto detailers, towing companies and repair shops, 5F’s services allow tremendous opportunities for companies to network within each other.
According to 5F founder Dan Fisher, the agency has already helped a number of customers locally in the Pittsburgh area, and is now ready to work with businesses nationwide. The agency provides a three-step process:
5F has the expertise to create an online presence specifically tailored for the automotive industry. The company’s organic search software can result in a massive 200 percent increase in Google searches, along with a 200 percent increase in customer actions.
Expert Pay Per Click and Social Media Marketing services will result in an immediate increase in website traffic and a visibly increased profit margin.
The final step involves retargeting traffic, past customers, and competitors’ customers, too.
“It’s a proven process that we’ve used successfully time after time,” says Fisher. “But we always customize the procedure for every customer, depending on their needs and budget.”
5F Marketing offers a wide range of services, including content marketing, search engine optimization, Facebook campaigns, website building and more. They also provide a hi-tech dashboard to allow customers to track actual conversions with real-time reporting.
Fisher wants 5F customers to know that the company operates with complete transparency and all activities are recorded in the dashboard, so there’s never any guess work involved.
“This is important to me because I worked in advertising and saw that small businesses were not being told the truth. My dad was a business owner himself and I know how important having clients is to him. I left corporate America specifically to help small businesses prospect new clients and help them reach their overall growth goals.”

With literally hundreds of hair extensions companies on the market claiming to offer virgin hair, it can be hard to decide who to trust. Through the internet, gaining access to hair suppliers for start-up hair companies has become easier than ever. The hair extensions game is now a whole new world. Terms like “Remy”, “Temple hair”, “cuticles”, and “virgin” are now commonplace across the board, even when they’re misused. I know I’m not the only one who feels like when I shop for hair, I need a hair weave dictionary! Well, we’re here to help.
In this video, we’re going to give you seven questions every chick should ask to help you determine the best virgin hair companies. In a moment, I’m going to reveal question one which I actually got from an All Women’s Talk article called 5 Benefits of Using Virgin Hair Full Lace Wigs and Front Lace Wigs. But first, we all need to truly discuss what the real definition of this great stuff virgin hair. According to almost everyone’s standards, this stuff known as Virgin Hair is best defined by girls like me that say it’s human hair that has absolutely never ever been chemically or some would even say mechanically manipulated or treated by junk chemicals. Examples of junk chemicals are hair relaxers, dyes, perms, saran wrap, etc. Now that we’re on the same page as to what virgin hair is, let’s dive right in.
Question 1. What are the four critical stages that determine the QUALITY of virgin hair extensions? Before forking over your cash, the company should be prepared to answer: Collection, Blending, Fabrication, and Sanitization. If they pass that test, move on to:
Question 2. Which of the four critical stages does your company perform? The best virgin hair companies will control every aspect of their extensions, from collection through sanitization, under one roof. But if they don’t, that leads me to
Question 3. For the stages that are outsourced, what’s your process to ensure quality? If the company holds monthly site visits coupled with personal product verification before blending, you’re in pretty good shape! Other answers in order of desirability are Quarterly site visits coupled with real-time product verification before sanitization. One-time site tour coupled with virtual product verification before shipping. No site authentication. No product verification. But remember: the best virgin hair companies are able to ensure the quality of the final product by collecting, blending, fabricating, and sanitizing their wefts in-house.
Question 4. This is where things get really sticky. How was this hair sourced? For a company to claim that their hair is virgin, they have to know how it’s collected. Any company willing to accept your money for virgin hair should also be willing and able to divulge the methods by which their offerings are obtained. Here are four possible answers to this question. Which do you think is the best?:
A. We have our own trained team of collectors who follow our Code of Ethics. They are only authorized to cut and purchase hair directly from the donor.
B. We pay independent contractors to collect hair by the kilo.
C. We are licensed and have direct access to the temple auctions in India.
D. We purchase hair from an Indian supplier.
E. We purchase hair from a Chinese supplier.
F. We purchase hair from a blank blank blanket blank supplier.
G. I don’t know. If you picked answered 4a, you were right!
The best virgin hair companies skip temples and suppliers altogether and have trained their own teams to purchase hair directly from donors. However, as you’re researching hair companies, if their answer is 4b, it means they haven’t a clue how the hair is sourced. It could be stolen, diluted, fallen or even collected from graves. 4c is fair, but it’s only a valid answer for native Indian sellers. If they answer 4d, this means they haven’t a clue. If they answer 4E or F, it means the hair is actually Indian, and they haven’t a clue how it’s sourced. And poor answer 4g. At least they were honest! Whew! I know this a lot of information, but we’re almost there!
To make it easier for you to keep track of the questions, we’ve created a beautiful downloadable guide, and I’ll give you the link to the download at the end of the video. Ready for question 5? Let’s go!
Question 5. How was this hair pattern created? Here are the three most frequent answers in order from most desirable to least desirable: The pattern has not been manipulated. (Virgin)The pattern was created using steam or boiling water. (Mechanical manipulation – not virgin)The pattern was created using a relaxer or perm. (Chemical manipulation – not virgin)How many times have you seen companies list hair as “virgin” when the pattern is obviously processed? Let’s be clear: the hair may have been virgin at one point, but as soon as it’s steamed, boiled, or permed to achieve a specific pattern, it is no longer virgin by definition. And that company is not being honest about what it’s offering you.
Question 6. How would you describe the hair cuticle? I would say that the cuticle is most definitely the outermost part of what hair dressers refer to as the hair shaft. This thing is like a hard layer that is almost shingle-like as it has lots of overlapping cells. it acts as a protective barrier for the softer inner structure including the medulla and cortex. The cuticle is responsible for much of the mechanical strength of the hair fiber and also represents what most people refer to as the structure that controls almost all the water content of the hair fiber. Almost all of the shiny part that makes healthy hair so so attractive to men is really in thanks to the cuticle. Unacceptable answers: The hair is Remy. This is a description of how the hair was collected. Not whether the cuticle is intact and aligned. The cuticle has been descaled (read annihilated), then coated with silicone (read this will be a hot mess after one wash). If anyone actually admits to such, don’t exit gracefully. Just exit. An acceptable answer to the question about hair cuticles is: Hair cuticle is, and aligned, but the best answer is: We oversee the collection, and as a result, we personally ensure that the hair cuticle is intact and has been secured from the point of origin beginning with the hair donor.
Question 7. How have the nits been removed?There are three ways to remove nits from hair. Most often, suppliers will use insecticides, then wash the hair OR use adhesive dissolvents. But both present challenges. Have you have experienced severe or persistent itching after installing your hair extensions? Or have you ever had an allergic reaction? Insecticides were the most likely culprit. On the other hand, dissolvents caused damage to the hair cuticle. The best method for removing nits manually, with no chemicals involved. So, ladies, what do you think? I hope that now that you know the 7 questions to ask, you’re empowered to purchase the best quality virgin hair extensions on the market! Let’s keep the conversation going! Have you ever asked a retailer any of our 7 questions? Are there any other questions you ask before making a purchase? Let us know in the comments below!
Selecting The Right Lace Front Wig
It is not unusual to lose hair after you are diagnosed with cancer. This leaves many patients feeling self-conscious, so some choose to don a wig until they are finished with treatment, and their hair starts to come back in.
It is not easy to select a wig. In general, you want to find one that looks like real hair. In addition, it should not be scratchy or slip off of your head at inopportune times. Finally, it should be affordable.
When deciding what store to patronize, look for one where you are afforded privacy and personalized attention. For example, you want to work with someone that has helped cancer patients before, because they will be more receptive to your needs. We like getting our lace front wigs from Diamond Dynasty Virgin Hair. However, with that said, as you look for the right wig for you, there are a few questions that you need to make sure you ask.
What is the wig made out of?
Some wigs are made from human hair. Others are constructed from a synthetic fiber. Still, other wigs have a little bit of both in them. Most women gravitate toward synthetic fiber wigs because they do not feel heavy on the head. In addition, they are priced well, typically feel good and are not hard to adjust. Using real hair is another story. These wigs are usually very expensive and hard to take care of. Your best bet is to go with a synthetic version.
How is the wig constructed?
In general, wigs are made using one of two different processes. Some are created using machines. Others are hand-tied. There is a bit of a stigma associated with wigs made from machines; people generally assume that these are meant for those that have hair, but that isn’t necessarily true. These wigs are often a great option because the price is right and they feel good on. You can pick the right wig for you based on how big your head is, what color hair you want and what type of hairstyle you want. One advantage of machine-made wigs is that you can really get them fitted to your specifications.
What do you need to do to attach the wig?
If the wig is the right fit, you won’t need anything else when putting it on your head. However, some people don’t like to take chances. The wig itself should just feel like part of your body when it is on. It shouldn’t make you sweat or weigh you down. Of course, you will feel warmer with a wig on than without a wig on, but there are some that have ventilation built in. When you lose your hair, the top of your head may be extra sensitive, which is why some people have trouble tolerating wigs. If it is bothering you, put a scarf on top of your head and then place the wig on top of that. The scarf can help in a number of ways, but it should increase your comfort level dramatically. If it is hard for you to put the lace front wig on your head, ask someone at the wig store to assist you, or simply call the Diamond Dynasty Virgin Hair phone number and they’ll be glad to help you.
How To Care For Your Wig
Normally, you can wear your wig an average of 16 times before you have to wash it. However, if you move around a lot and tend to sweat, you want to wash the wig every seven days so that it stays clean. Before washing, brush the wig. Then use a shampoo that was created specifically for wigs. A conditioner is a good idea as well. Simply put the wig in cold water and add a little shampoo. Swirl the wig around, allowing it to absorb the water. When you are finished, wash it in cold water. Make sure you do not brush the wig wet. You also don’t want to wring it out, no matter how much water it has retained. Allow it to dry on a wig stand for several hours. Once it is dry, brush it the way you like to wear it. Do you have a hair stylist? She may be able to help you figure out the best way to take care of your wig. Just ask her what she recommends! A water-soluble hairspray is great for your lace wig. Lacquer sprays leave a build up that will harm the wig over time. Pick up a natural bristle brush for your wig. Alternatively, you can use a wire or plastic brush as well. Try not to brush the wig too hard, because your wig will look matted. It is not appropriate to use a standard hairbrush, because you can harm your wig. It is not appropriate to blow dry your wig or to apply any type of heat. You should also not use dye on your wig. If you have any questions, be sure to contact the Diamond Dynasty Virgin Hair customer support line and ask for assistance.

I've been doing hair for over 30 years, and I've been with Salon Nouveau for 7 years. I absolutely love doing colors, cuts and perms. I was in the 4th grade when I decided this would be my occupation. When I had my hair done or went to a salon at that age, I would just watch everybody doing hair and be so intrigued by it all.
I reception at Salon Nouveau on Tuesdays, and can often be seen tossing unnecessary clutter into the trash. I like things clean and simple. Why these people have so much stuff I will never understand.
I have an identical twin sister which is often times mistaken for me. I'm constantly greeted in public as "Lisa" and I'll pretend to know who said hello. Lisa does the same. We got tired of explaining and so now we just play along.
After 30 years in the industry I've decided I no longer want to do hair on the weekends. Instead, without exception, I'll be in my RV up north with my husband and family, enjoying the summer and sunshine. I've earned the right!

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Nine year old Oskar Schell finds a key among his dead father's things and embarks on a quest to find the lock it fits. Will Oskar Schell's quest give him the answers he's looking for?
Quite some time ago, I watched a fragment of the movie based on this book on a rainy day before deciding I wanted to read the book. Now that I've read it, I'm not sure it was the right choice.
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is the story of Oskar Schell, a nine year old possible genius with issues whose father died in the World Trade Center collapse. After discovering a mysterious key, he wanders New York's five boroughs, meeting people and drawing closer to the end of his quest.
I loved the Oskar Schell character, a smart boy who has trouble fitting in, and I loved the idea of a boy on quest. Oskar's relationship with his deceased father was very well done, as was his anger with his mother. However, I found the book to be on the gimmicky side with all the photographs and typographical razzmatazz. Also, I found the elder Thomas Schell to be an unsympathetic character. He ran out on his family. Why is Foer so bent on making us feel sorry for him?
As much as I loved the idea of a nine year old attempting to solve the mysteries behind his father's death, I found the execution far=fetched, but not as far-fetched as the ending. The ending denied the book an entire star for me.
Even so, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close was not without its charm. It was an engaging read and had some poignant moments. Three out of five stars.

Enjoy a wide range of items from our tenderloins to our beef burgers. We look forward to serving you!
Serving The Des Moines area "Award Winning" Handmade Tenderloins since 1952
Smitty's Tenderloin shop has been in business and serving the Des Moines area since 1952. The shop was started by Bill Smith aka "Smitty", in 1966. The building (when it was orginally purchased by Bill) was known as Blue Jays. A name which Bill changed to the iconic name we all know today as Smitty's. Bill ran the business for 16 years before his son and daughter-in-law ,Greg and Cheri Smith, took it over in November of 1983. Six months after purchasing the restaurant Greg and Cheri changed the location six blocks east to the current location on Army Post Road in Des Moines. All these years later we are still here and going strong! Currently, Smitty's is owned and operated by Ben and Crystal Smith. The tenderloins and the onions rings are still made EVERY morning-fresh and from scratch!
Smitty's is commited to continuing the tradition of serving the best breaded tenderloins that Des Moines has been enjoying (and voted!) for many years!

With apologies for the long dormancy of the Society, it is now being revived with new statutes, a new and specially designed medal for members, and a series of events where servers can be trained and also enrolled in the Society.
The LMS website's page on the Society of St Tarcisius has been updated, and this links to a pdf with information about the aims of the SST and the grades of altar server which it contains.
No one at present has any of these grades, but at the training events already arranged (see below) and other such events we can have the necessary brief tests and enroll people at the appropriate level.
I would like to hear from anyone will to attend at these events as a trainee or trainer, or simply to be enrolled (please specify your level of experience).
I would also like to hear from anyone willing to organise training events elsewhere in the country.
Contact me through [email protected]
With best wishes for Advent and Christmas,
Training days in London
Saturday 16th February in St Mary Moorfields,
Saturday 9th March in St Mary Moorfields,
Saturday 11th May in Our Lady of the Assumption, Warwick Street.
All levels of serving can be addressed, and servers can be enrolled in the Society and receive its splendid new medal.
Days begin at 10:30am: full details here. Please book so we know who to expect, indicating your level of experience, what you would like to learn, or at what grade you feel you could be enrolled: [email protected]
These training days in London are running in parallel with Vestment Mending Days with the Guild of St Clare, in the basement of the churches where the training is taking place. Details of these events can be found here.

Viavi Solutions (NASDAQ: VIAV) today announced that Kazan Networks has selected the Xgig 1000 10/25/50/100 GE Analyzer for storage networking development and test. Kazan is a leader in advanced storage technology based on the NVMe over Fabrics standard. The company requires test capabilities that can keep pace with rapid market evolution and the Xgig 1000 delivers with support for all predominant speeds and application-level protocols involved in next-generation storage networking.
Nonvolatile Memory Express (NVMe™) over Fabrics is an innovation in storage technology, designed to enable faster access of solid-state media or systems over a network such as Ethernet or Fibre Channel. The specification has been standardized by NVM Express, Inc. and its membership, which includes over 100 participating companies.
Kazan Networks has developed what it believes is the industry’s fastest NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF™) bridge, designed to enable pooling of high-performance NVMe SSDs in a new, disaggregated compute/storage topology. Leveraging the scale and distance capabilities of Ethernet, it is now possible for servers to remotely access NVMe SSDs, either within a rack or across the datacenter. Done correctly, there is virtually no performance lost in this configuration, while end users benefit through increased levels of storage utilization and ultimately significantly lower total cost of ownership.
Viavi delivered the Xgig 1000 10/25/50/100 GE Analyzer including an NVMe (PCI Express) test feature which enabled the engineering team at Kazan to accelerate the development, validation and launch of its offering to the market. Critical features for Kazan included: the ability to capture and interpret Ethernet and PCI Express traffic in a clear and concise manner; and the ability to cross-correlate the traffic between Local NVMe and Remote NVMe over Fabrics protocol analysis.
“Viavi's Xgig 1000 multispeed Ethernet analyzer and its support of application-level protocols, such as iWARP, RoCE, RoCEv2 and NVMe over Fabrics, allows our engineers to quickly and precisely debug multi-vendor interoperability issues. In addition to their outstanding performance on the Ethernet side of our devices, Viavi's Xgig 1000 PCIe Gen3 Analyzer and its ability to fully decode all NVMe traffic is a big win for us when debugging complex problems. Wrapping it all together, the ability to cascade Viavi's Ethernet and PCIe analyzers with seamless, time-synchronized continuity in a single display trace simplifies the task of analyzing end-to-end NVMe over Fabric storage networks,” said Joe Steinmetz, Chief Executive Officer, Kazan Networks.
“As a leader in test and measurement, Viavi is proud to support the advancement of NVMe over Fabrics with Kazan Networks. From optical networking to storage networking, we have consistently leveraged our experience with service providers, equipment manufacturers, enterprise IT and technology pioneers to ready test solutions for next-generation technologies precisely when they’re needed,” said Tom Fawcett, Vice President and General Manager, Lab and Production Business Unit, Viavi Solutions.

I'm a delicate orchid of a man.
Blossoming into a fierce dragon.
His relationship is over as soon as he sees my boobs. I’m going to titty fuck my way into his heart
Who the fuck puts glitter on their vagina? It’s all over my face and crotch.
Of course my parents remember you. You showed them your tits
Restaurants Roasting People Who Gave Them Negative Yelp Reviews (25 Pics)
I wasn’t trying to be creepy it just happened
I’m beginning to think that’s your defining personality trait.
i'm not too sure if he's up to my expectations looks-wise, but in the penis department he exceeds ALL regulations.
Goat in kitchen.....explanation?....
just saw a kid waiting at the door of the stairs for the elevator. there is no elevator in this building. get on his level.
Omg dude take a shower. You'll feel like god washed away all the sinful shit we did last night.
Woman Posts Harassing DMs From Creep Online, Now He’s Upset Because People Told His Mom
No I dont want him to bring his twin brother, cause then ill have to entertain him with my vagina
Woke up next to a slice if pizza. From what i can tell I tried to plug it into my phone charger. No more blackout wednesdays for this girl.
dude it was our first time and her hair caught on fire from the candles on the nightstand
There is no way that actually happened!
the smell of burnt hair covered up the sweaty sex smell.
Also, apparently I'm only coherent when I'm drunk sexting. And then I'm grammatically perfect and impressively eloquent.
You kissed my hand and then put a Taco in it. Why WOUDNT I leave my husband?

Avalanches under control
There have been reports of avalanches in Big and Little Cottonwood canyons during the last week. These reports are true, but the Utah Avalanche Control team have these under control. There is usually not problem when skiers and boarders stay in the designated areas. The risk comes when one decides that they know better than the officials.

GEEK FUEL is a monthly comic con in a box subscription service that will run you $23.90 a month with shipping included. If you order multiple boxes at once though you will be hooked up with various discounts and bonuses. Is March’s worth your cash? The answer to more complicated than usual.
First up we have the best item of the box, Amazing Fantastic Incredible: A Marvelous Memoir. This is a hard cover edition of Stan Lee‘s comic autobiography. It has a retail price of $30.00 and is simply awesome. This is the perfect medium for the life of Stan Lee. Next up we have Geek Fuel’s magazine and Dinocide download code from Steam, as well as a world map. GEEK FUEL always has a Steam game, and if you dig indie retro games this is the mystery box for you. Period.
Next a Batman v Superman Dawn of Letdowns mystery vinyl figure from Funko. I got Wonder Woman, and she is ready to throw down.
“The Legend” an exclusive art print by Juan Muniz with a certificate of authenticity. It’s cool but not amazing to me, though I was never that into Link.
Last up we have a very cool exclusive t shirt print, ‘Vision of Justice.’ And here is why this month’s crate is harder to review than others. This shirt is awesome and Funko products are a blast. Batman v Superman is underwhelming at best. So we have here very cool products from a weaker than average property. Maybe Zack Snyder’s extended cut will go a long way to redeeming the flick. I stand by my affection for the Watchmen director’s cut. While I definitely don’t feel ripped off, the book is awesome, this month suffers unfairly from being tied to Batman v Superman.

God we are wrapping this up quick, it'll be a crying shame to see it end.
Back on the home front this series for the most part, we spend a fair good share of time with the girls this series. It really seems like Judy and Sandy have some more to give, Judy explores a new relationship, Sandy has quite a worrying experience with a stalker and has some issues with Jean's work, and they both help for the big surprise for Jean at the end of the series. The attention doesn't shift from Lionel and Jean but it's very appreciated to see them do more than usual. Heck Lionel is very much completely settled in the house and is content with not working much, and goes full on dad mode with the girls which shocker, I completely treasure with all of my soul and hope I can be even close to his persona in my life. But Jean couldn't be more overtaxed if possible, having a real dilemma if she should retire or not to the point she sees a therapist, she's very stressed this series and I don't like seeing her in such a state. They even have their first proper big argument as a couple, of course it's over something trivial but it gets sorted in the end. Not long after that Lionel is being more dedicated to surprising Jean, leading to the finale which I can't remember if it has much impact on series 7. It'll come back to me. Again, pretty solid season here and I know people are gonna have a hard time accepting the whole show is a 10/10, but I don't give that rating lightly and again I don't have anything to complain about. This is more of a getting the show more recognition than a proper review, I really can't fathom it dropping lower than a 9/10 in all honesty. It's something I've wanted to review since honestly before all this review show stuff started and any chance I get to spotlight something I love is top orders. See you next week for the final round.

This video was filmed in Kharkiv, Ukraine, on January 24, 2022, exactly one month before Russia revealed the full-scale war on multiple Ukraine cities.
The music you’ll be hearing is an original work of art by Iryna Shvydka, aka 8Kays. Iryna’s life, like many others, was drastically altered, but she persevered and continued to create music in order to make the world a better place.
Speaking about the video, TIME:CODE team commented:
“We are honored to be working with such a talented artist, and we believe that Iryna will achieve great things in the future. It’s been a while since we shared new videos and experiences with all of you. We wanted to share this video regardless of the current state of the world to remind everyone that art is the universal language that bridges all empty spaces and brings people together. It’s hard to believe that the places our team visited during our stay are no longer in a state they’ve been.
These events have occurred in the past and, unfortunately, will continue to occur in the future. As a result, our collective mission is to prevent these events from happening and to better protect people, ideas, and legacies. We are honored to bring this small piece of the beautiful Kharkiv onto our platform in order to resurrect art, humanity, and history. We would also like to express our heartfelt gratitude to our dear friends from Kharkiv’s Basanta Music company, who assisted us in creating this work of art.
Basanta Music is a well-known Ukrainian organization dedicated to promoting artists and music events. “Together for better”, as Basanta team says.”
“It’s getting super hard for me to acknowledge that the lives of millions of people have changed so immensely after Russia has escalated the war against the whole nation of Ukraine. I have lived my whole life in Kyiv. Kyiv is the city of my memories; it’s where I finished school, university and had my first performances. It’s a city full of my friends, my close people and my parents.
Needless to say the level of tension our country has been living in since 2014 is immense. This is the year when all values changed and our country became a victim of the predator faced by Russian Federation, which was planning an insidious war attack against our country, killing thousand of people and changing lives forever.
Titan efforts from Ukraine’s army and the defense, as well as volunteer community, prevented our country from the further occupation and helped save its future. With years of long war actions and thousands of sacrificed lives of heroic people who are still protecting our country, it was horrible to become a witness of the criminal full-scale war escalation from Russia.
I am sure everyone watches the news and can understand that it’s impossible to describe what happens in the areas where the Russian army is kicked out and in the occupied areas.
6 months ago I worked in a beautiful studio called Basanta music in Kharkiv. Basanta is a team full of creative and enthusiastic people, which have lit my eyes and soul, so I decided to move to Kharkiv and to work from there. It is a warm period to remember, as the more I stayed, the more colours this beautiful city and its people brought to me.
At the end of January 2022, the Basanta team united with the Serbian TIME:CODE crew for the event they did at Kharkiv Central Market. Two days after the party we went to the graceful Kharkiv Philarmonic to record the live video of mine, which you can watch online now. Just one month after it the full-scale war started.
But I’ve accepted to do my work. And, of course, I am happy to share this video, as we are launching the donation campaign to help Kharkiv people who need your support more than ever. Kharkiv volunteer organization Stellar https://stellarua.org is helping local people here since the first days of war, so you can follow the link HERE to choose the preferred way of donation, either to pay via Paypal to [email protected]. The war is not over and now Ukraine needs your support. I do hope you like the video. All the best

If you're an app developer for MLB, or if you're with Roku or AppleTV, skip down to the final paragraphs!
Because Allan and I follow an out-of-town baseball team, we subscribe to MLB.TV, and have done so for ages. As much as I dislike pay-per-TV services, being able to watch any baseball game at any time, with either the home or away feed, is amazing.
Once we were able to do this by streaming, as opposed to through cable, the price went down and the quality went up. I've blogged many times about the wonder of the Roku streaming device, and how it solved so many issues for watching baseball, TV series, and movies.
Last year, I learned that the Canadian streaming service CraveTV offers lots of Showtime and HBO content. Thanks to exclusive licensing deals, Crave is not available on Roku; it only streams on AppleTV. (You can watch on a computer or mobile device, but we don't like that.) So in order to get the additional Showtime and HBO content, we bought an AppleTV device.
Lo and behold, AppleTV is now way better than Roku! When Roku first came out, it was widely agreed that it was the best streaming device on the market. Now fourth-generation AppleTV blows Roku away. The streaming quality is much better, the interface is easier, and it offers more premium content.
Here's where baseball comes in. MLB.TV on Roku lets users choose separate video and audio feeds. For many reasons, I prefer the NESN (Red Sox) TV feed with audio from the local Red Sox radio on WEEI. Roku lets you do this, and it syncs. (In the olden days, I would watch baseball on TV with the sound on mute, and keep the game on the radio. This was my preferred way to enjoy baseball, but the audio and video were completely out of sync.) So Roku did away with all that, and we've been in baseball heaven.
But now, with the 2018 season, the Roku MLB app is a total shambles. It stutters, freezes, and crashes constantly. We could barely make it through a half-inning without frustrating stops, starts, and reboots. And the definition is awful. It's like we're streaming some analog feed with a dial-up modem.
On AppleTV, MLB streams beautifully and in good-quality hi-def. However, the MLB app on AppleTV does not let you choose separate video and audio feeds. We can watch NESN with the NESN announcers, or listen to WEEI with no video at all, but we can't mix-and-match feeds.
Roku: Please fix your MLB.TV app!
AppleTV: Please get your MLB.TV app to have this capability!
MLB.TV: Please get your developers on this!

Tokyo has had two major calamities in the last century - the Great Kanto earthquake of 1923, and the fire bombings in WWII - that have robbed the city of many of its historical buildings. However, hidden in the chic Daikanyama area lies a stately manor worth searching out that has survived both calamities: Kyu Asakuara House.
A Japanese-national born in Seoul, Korea during the Second World War, Toyo Ito’s education was all Japanese. After returning to Japan at the age of two, Ito professes to have had no early interest in architecture, and it wasn’t until he was studying at the University of Tokyo that his interest began. He began working for Kikutake Architect and Associates in 1965, until starting his own firm six years later. Ito began initially to design private residences, and from his earliest works, these minimalist homes began to garner him a great deal of attention. He explained that this minimalism was an attempt to develop a lightness in architecture in a way that resembled air, and its movement as wind.
Today we kick off a series of articles on small home designs by our ZenVita associate architects. These designs exemplify the Japanese genius for making the most of a tiny area with a Zen-like focus on what is truly essential for a happy home: space, light, and air. We begin with a look at Love House by Tokyo based architect, Takeshi Hosaka.
With a population of over 120 million people, Japan is one of the 10 most populous countries in the world, but with more than 70% of Japan’s total land mass covered with mountains and forest, the bulk of the population tends to be crowded into large coastal cities. It is for this reason that Japanese architects have become specialists at designing for small areas. The less space you have, the smarter the design should be to make everything fit. What lessons can be learned from this kind of architecture?
One of the most common characteristics of a Japanese house is the adaptability it derives from the use of lightweight partitions. One example of these partitions is noren (暖簾), a traditional split curtain made of cloth that can be easily installed or removed. It can divide the space into bigger or smaller units, or serve as a sign at the entrance to a room or building.

Missouri Wine Country Makes List For Affordable Vacation Spots
Here we are in summer and all of us are thinking about summer vacation, but with gas prices increasing we are looking for affordable getaways. This may help.
The Missouri Wine Country was named one of the cheapest vacations to take, especially Herrmann and Augusta Missouri. Bother were named by the New York Times as being places to visit that don't cost a lot of money. The Missouri Region named "Rhineland" was settled by German immigrants who started planting grapes.
“The top grape is the Norton red,” said Jerri Hoffmann who, with her husband, David Hoffmann, has recently invested in several wineries and rental properties in Augusta, Mo., the first federally recognized American Viticultural Area in the United States, established in 1980. “They were making award-winning wines here in Missouri at the turn of the century,” Ms. Hoffmann said.
We all know of Hermann, Missouri where you can stay in log cabins for as low as $99 a night. Plus, you can enjoy the wine trails, shopping, and the peace and quiet that comes with relaxing at a winery. Now, these may not be family-friendly vacations. but hey, moms and dads need a vacation too that doesn't include amusement parks and zoos.
So, when you are planning a low-key affordable vacation keep the Missouri Wine Country in mind. We are lucky to be so close to some of the best wineries in Missouri why not take advantage of that.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Jon Baldwin is determined not to let his return to training camp bring back bad memories. A locker-room fight last August with then-teammate Thomas Jones left Baldwin with a broken right hand, an injury that derailed the first-round pick’s rookie season. Nearly a year later there are still more questions than answers as Baldwin participates in camp on the same Missouri Western State University campus. Still, Baldwin prefers to talk about the future not the past. Baldwin entered camp this week as the Chiefs’ de facto No. 1 wide receiver due to Dwayne Bowe’s holdout. That slot asks a lot of a second-year player limited to 11 games in 2011 due to the lingering injury. Baldwin had only 21 catches for 254 yards.

One day, the honest and kind ex-girlfriend he once loved came back to him.
He married his girlfriend.
An eight-month-old child was born prematurely.
He stared at the child and his wife, hugged the child’s small body, and vowed to protect them.
He works 16 hours a day and is very tired and bitter, but looking at his family, he is happy.
Suddenly one day.
A dazzling man hugs his son.
“The child is not yours, thank you for your care, I will always remember it in my heart.” The wife said to him sadly, and looked at the real father of the child with hope and happiness.
He broke down!
Roaring and crying in the cold rainy night.
He was shot!
After his rebirth, his temperament changed drastically.
PS: Only good people will aspire to become little devils!

Thanks go to the breakpoint organizing-team for the permission to use this article.
Although one might expect that encoding music in either MP3 or Ogg Vorbis is nothing new to anyone (especially scene musicians),
submissions to MP3/Ogg compos in the past have shown that some people simply forget how to make a decent compressed file from their music -
let's blame the time pressure, shall we.
During preselection for a music competition, the preselectors are likely to suffer from lack of sleep and junkfood, so badly encoded
music can be really annoying. This little guide shall give you some clue on how we'd love to get your great music - enjoyable for
us, the audience at the party and finally to those, who download your music off the Internet.
Apart from that, the MP3/Vorbis competition is also about your mixing and mastering skills, and you really don't want your hard work
to be spoiled by some silly compression format. This How-To shall provide the necessary information to help you keep rogue encoders off
First of all, note that your choice of format does NOT have any influence on the preselection! Both MP3 Lovers and Ogg Zealots are
equally represented, so picking either MP3 or Vorbis won't increase or decrease your chances of being played. :)
Let's start out with Ogg Vorbis, since this is the easiest one. Ogg Vorbis doesn't care much about bitrate, since it's a variable
bit rate (VBR) Codec. To comply with the compo rules of "160kbps or higher", choose a quality setting of '5' or higher. Any fairly
current Vorbis encoder will do, and there's nothing you could do wrong. If you're extremely paranoid about quality, set it to '6'.
However, quality '5' will be very sufficient for us.
Here's an example for the commandline encoder oggenc:
oggenc -q 5 my_entry_mixdown.wav
Now that was easy. Another possibility is to use the drag 'n drop encoder for Windows called "oggDrop". Just right-click the fish,
pick '5' as the quality level and drag the .WAV of your masterpiece on it. A short while later, you'll have an .ogg in the same directory
where your source .WAV is.
Adding decent comment tags to your .ogg entry is very appreciated. There are many tools to do this, just to name a few: Winamp,
vorbiscomment, WinVorbis/Vorbix (http://winvorbis.stationplaylist.com/). You are free
to add any comment tag in the form "TAGNAME=Stuff this tag contains", and every compliant player is supposed to display them all. There
are some standard tags like ARTIST, TITLE and so on - to learn more about them, have a look at
http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/doc/v-comment.html under "Field names".
You're practically unlimited in the amount and length of comments, however, common sense should guide your actions.
You can get all the official Ogg Vorbis stuff from http://www.vorbis.com/. They also have links to
nice utilities made by other people, some of which I've already mentioned.
You can use Winamp to diskwrite .ogg files, too. You can get the encoder plugin here:
http://www.blorp.com/~peter/zips/out_vorbis.exe (Note that this also
allows easy re-encoding from another lossy format like MP3 to Vorbis, which is NOT A GOOD IDEA. Re-encoding will always result in
Good old MP3. There are gazillions of programs, encoders, jukeboxes, etc that all produce some kinda .mp3 file. Unfortunately, a
whole lot of them produce crap MP3s, too.
If, for some odd reason, you're forced to use crappy encoders, e.g. those based on Xing (like AudioCatalyst), for the love of god,
please give us files encoded at 256kbps or higher. No, we won't disqualify you if you give us Xing @ 160kbps, but *please* don't. Thank
you. Thank you very much! :) Another example of horrible software that allegedly produces MP3s is bladeenc, which is even worse than
Xing. (Hooray for Tonal Purity[tm], no thanks.)
But let's hop over to the usable encoders. Many people still use the Fraunhofer encoder (to be found in Musicmatch Jukebox, Sonic
Foundry Soundforge, etc), or its illegal offspring from Radium. Neither have seen any significant (or any) improvements since 1998, and
the VBR files they produce are broken. It sounds good enough at 192kbps, even 160kbps are okay (this is what we've got it mind when we
say "160kbps or higher"). Consider this the minimum encoding quality we want from you.
However, there's a way to make truly excellent MP3s. The magic comes with the sourcecode and is called LAME. You can get it from
http://lame.sourceforge.net/ (Google will help you to find Win32 binaries of the current
LAME is a truly powerful MP3 encoder that manages to squeeze the last bits of quality out of the aging MP3 specs. It's power, however,
is also it's "weakness". It offers tons of options that tempt the user to tinker with delicate encoder internals. Forget about them, don't
use them unless you really understand audio coding, e.g. if that's what your university study is all about or if you're developing an own
lossy encoder. You're very likely to let LAME produce an MP3 that sounds worse than any of the other encoders I just ranted about.
There's a simple solution, called --alt-preset. People with very good ears and in-depth understanding of what LAME actually does,
created alt-preset to allow all non-experts to create great MP3 files. Thanks to the --alt-preset switch, using LAME is no more difficult
than using oggenc. Below is a complete list of Breakpoint related LAME parameters.
If you're too lazy to read all that, use
lame --alt-preset standard my_entry_mixdown.wav
... and make everyone happy.
Please remember to properly tag your MP3. Also note that, if you use a program that uses a LAME .dll and this particular program
doesn't support --alt-preset, use something different. Some people say that the --r3mix preset is also very good, however, I really
suggest to make use of the flexibility and quality of --alt-preset.
True VBR (best and constant quality, filesize is not predictable): Variable Bit Rate mode allows the encoder to
choose whatever bits it needs to maintain a given quality, without wasting bits on easy to encode parts. Best quality/size ratio.
lame --alt-preset standard my_entry_mixdown.wav "standard" usually results in ~200kbps, great quality at reasonable filesizes. If you planned to use 192 or 224 kbps, use "standard"
instead, since it will result in better quality.
lame --alt-preset extreme my_entry_mixdown.wav "extreme" is a preset for those cursed with golden ears, results in ~260kbps MP3s. You likely don't need this.
lame --alt-preset insane my_entry_mixdown.wav This one is truly insane. Always 320kbps at ideal settings (it's still VBR, though, MP3 just can't go any higher). If you
actually need this, you shouldn't be using MP3 but a next-generation Codec, or even something lossless like FLAC
(http://flac.sourceforge.net/). This is overkill, especially for Breakpoint and Internet
ABR (reasonable compromise, good quality, somewhat predictable sizes): Average Bit Rate mode tells the encoder
to create a file with a certain average bitrate, without being too restricted on hard or easy to encode parts. This is the mode-of-choice
if standard/extreme/insane don't do it, e.g. on lower bitrates.
lame --alt-preset 160 my_entry_mixdown.wav This would result in an ~160kbps MP3 at pretty good quality. If filesize is a concern for you and you want to submit something as
small as possible for Breakpoint, this is the ideal choice. This is better than both Fraunhofer or LAME at 160kbps CBR.
You can use any supported bitrate instead of the 160 in this example.
However, for Breakpoint only this example makes sense. For higher
bitrates, --alt-preset standard would be the setting of choice.
CBR (legacy, variable quality, predictable filesize) Constant Bit Rate mode - this is here only to cover all
possible alt-presets. You don't want to use this unless you really have to. Pro-CBR examples are recording to a device with a "time-left"
display (as opposed to "space left", something that requires predictable filesize) or streaming on a fixed channel with a guaranteed
bandwidth, which is where CBR and a bit reservoir make sense. If you don't understand this, nevermind, the loss of quality that comes
with CBR isn't worth understanding this. :) If you use Fraunhofer, you're forced to CBR anyway (if you want MP3s whose displayed playing
time changes randomly in players, try FhG's VBR :-/).
lame --alt-preset 160 --cbr my_entry_mixdown.wav Creates a 160kbps CBR MP3. Sounds good ... for CBR.
I hope you found this useful. Happy encoding, good luck and good speed
with your entry!

SEMANTiCS 2022 will host the DBpedia Day on September 13, 2022 in Vienna, Austria.
DBpedia is an international crowd-sourced community effort to extract structured information from Wikipedia, Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons and to make this information available on the Web as Linked Open Data.
DBpedia provides tools that allow you to create, maintain, improve, integrate and use KGs to build applications, e.g. BBC has created the World Cup 2010 website by interconnecting textual content and facts from their knowledge base. Data provided by DBpedia was greatly involved in creating this knowledge graph. DBpedia has become a high-impact, high-visibility project because of our foundation in excellent Knowledge Engineering as the pivot point between scientific methods, innovation and industrial-grade output. The drivers behind DBpedia are 4 out of the TOP 10 Most Influential Scholars in Knowledge Engineering and the C-level executives of our members.
Linking and Consumption of Linked Data – Since 2007, DBpedia has been the hub of the Linked Open Data Cloud, the largest constantly updating knowledge graph on Earth using Linked Data principles.
By following the 62 million links published alongside the 6.5 million identifiers of the DBpedia Snapshot (https://www.dbpedia.org/blog/dbpedia-snapshot-2022-03-release/), our users could discover and consume more data from the web. Now in 2022, 15 years after the first release, we developed a way to scale up our identifier base into the billions to provide the glue for better linking and consumption of linked data. The main topics of the DBpedia Day will be twofold:
1. We would like to ask our industrial and academic members as well as the wider community to present the latest technology to discover, query, link, curate and consume Linked Data and Knowledge Graphs.2. We will introduce the Linkmaster 3000 (the new Open Online Link Curation Platform), the Global LD API, the Databus and the Global LD Browser to gather feedback.
Please check the schedule on the Semantics program page or the DBpedia event page. https://www.dbpedia.org/events/dbpedia-day-semantics-2022/

Mike + Doug Starn
Doug and Mike Starn, American artists, identical twins, born 1961. First having received international attention at the 1987 Whitney Biennial, for more than 20 years the Starns were primarily known for working conceptually with photography, and are concerned largely with chaos, interconnection and interdependence. Over the past two and half decades, they have continued to defy categorization, effectively combining traditionally separate disciplines such as photography, sculpture, architecture-most notably their series Big Bambú.
The Starns just completed the installation of (Any) Body Oddly Propped on the plaza of the Princeton Art Museum. The installation is in an overwhelming scale, and like their Big Bambú habitable artworks a sculpture that one walks through. The viewer becomes enveloped by the colors, the light and shadows. The carbon steel framing is a great contrast, while the brothers made expressive use of the old stain glass technique of hand painting with black carbon to create chiaroscuro; the darks have the effect of making the light/color seem more intense. The panels have a rustic character, this is glass that works with its hands for a living…
The 5th institutional installment of Big Bambú took place at the Israel Museum of Jerusalem (inaugurated in June 2014), featuring an outdoor installation with a permanent element titled The Strange Loop You Are, and another one, ephemeral, exhibited over 9 months. Commissioned for Soichiro Fukutake's Naoshima Museum (July 2013-present) for the Setouchi Triennial on the small island of Teshima-Japan-, the forth public installment in the Big Bambú series (titled Big Bambú #8, being the eighth incarnation in the series) utilizes and comprises an entire bamboo forest is created from several hundred living poles in the rhizomatic root of this ecosystem (new poles sprout daily, encroaching the elevated pathway). A beautiful path through the forest ultimately leads to a Bambú walkway tied with climber's cord directly to the living stalks and winds its way up through the forest, higher and higher, until ultimately breaking through the surface of the canopy of bamboo leaves. Only the visitor's upper body emerges and the elevated pathway face the Starns’ vision of a large fishing boat- over 60' long-but made entirely of Bambú - floating on the canopy sea of bamboo leaves at over 60 feet high. The visitors (8 to 10 at a time) approach the boat on the path as if swimming through the canopy, then climb aboard the boat. Entering the cabin of the boat- they descend below deck into the hull to see the interdependent structure creating the being of the boat, a catwalk through the crawl space inside the hull leads them to the bow to the observation bubble which was thought up in a dream actually.
Curated by Francesco Bonami, the first semi-permanent Big Bambú Minotaur Horn Head installation was on view for 3 years, as part of the collection of the Museo MACRO Testaccio, Rome. Over 40 meters tall, a habitable sculpture enveloping up to 60 people within an elevated performance space, double helix stair and labyrinth paths leading up to over 20 meters high to multiple lounging spaces giving views over the banks of the Tiber and Trastevere to Monte Testaccio. In 2011 at the 54th Venice Biennale Big Bambú spiraled over 22 meters high behind the Peggy Guggenheim Collection on the Grand Canal. The acclaimed institutional premiere Big Bambú: You Can’t, You Don’t, and You Won’t Stop, at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2010 was the 9th most attended exhibition in the museum’s history with 3,913 visitors per day- with a total of 631,000. Throughout the 6-month exhibit, the Starns and their crew of 12 rock climbers continuously lashed together over 7,000 bamboo poles, a performative architecture of randomly interconnected vectors forming a section of a seascape with a 20-meter cresting wave above Central Park. Big Bambú suggests the complexity and energy of an ever-growing and changing living organism. Several new iterations of the series are being developed internationally.
Gravity of Light, a solo exhibition by the Starn brothers featuring eight monumental photographs illuminated by a single, blindingly bright carbon arc lamp, originally commissioned by the Färgfabriken Kunsthalle, Stockholm, Sweden, took its third incarnation with the Cincinnati Art Museum in the fall of 2012 at a cavernous deconsecrated church and was dovetailed by an eponymous monograph, which offers a comprehensive approach on the artists’ Absorption of Light concept, published by Rizzoli, 2012.
In the spring of 2009, the Starns completed their first permanently installed public commission for the New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority. See it split, see it change, a 250-foot long artwork, up to 14 feet in height, presents the artists’ iconic tree photographs and a leaf transposed into fused glass, marble mosaics and a water jet cut stainless steel fence punctuate the South Ferry subway terminal. It is the recipient of the 2009 Brendan Gill Prize.
At their mammoth laboratory studio in Beacon, New York, the former Tallix foundry, the Starns continue to build the first Big Bambú, a constantly evolving construction, formed by a network of more than 2,500 bamboo poles lashed together. This enormous studio allows Doug and Mike to work in dialogue between Big Bambú and their many concurrent series: most recently The No Mind Not Thinks No Things and other Buddhist explorations- the Absorption of Light concept, alleverythingthatisyou- their photomicrographs of snow crystals, and their re-exploration of the late 19th century color carbon printing process. Through their carbon-prints, the Starns mingle gilding techniques to the painterly photo-process, and further advance their metaphorical lexicon on light with photographs of Buddhist statuary.
Attracted to Light, To Find God, not the Devil’s Insides and alleverythingthatisyou are some of the Starns’ monographic publications. The brothers are currently preparing a new artist book based on their iconic photograph of Ganjin and Big Bambú.
The Starns were represented by Leo Castelli from 1989 until his death in 1999. Their art has been the object of numerous solo and group exhibitions in museums and galleries worldwide. The Starns have received many honors including two National Endowment for the Arts Grants in 1987 and 1995; The International Center for Photography’s Infinity Award for Fine Art Photography in 1992; and, artists in residency at NASA in the mid-nineties. They have received critical acclaim in The New York Times, Dagens Nyheter, Corriere della Sera, Le Figaro, The Times (London), Art in America, and Artforum amongst many other notable media. Major artworks by the Starns are represented in public and private collections including: The Museum of Modern Art (NYC); San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SF); Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, (NYC); The Jewish Museum, (NYC); The Metropolitan Museum of Art (NYC); Moderna Museet (Stockholm); The National Gallery of Victoria (Melbourne); Whitney Museum of American Art (NYC); Yokohama Museum of Art (Japan); La Bibliotèque Nationale (Paris); La Maison Européenne de la Photographie (Paris); Los Angeles County Museum of Art, amongst many others.

A group of Arsenal fans, well 70,000 fans and counting, have signed a change.org petition to get referee Mike Dean banned from working any more Arsenal games after he sent off Gabriel when Gabriel retaliated to Diego Costa putting his hands in Laurent Koscielny’s face and harassing Gabriel to get him to step on Costa’s foot. Fans felt Costa should have also been sent off for his conduct. He has been charged by the FA (after the fact), along with Gabriel for violent conduct that could carry a three game ban.
In this petition, addressed to the FA, pointed out multiple instances in which Arsenal fans felt Dean had wronged them by making incorrect calls over the years and do not want Dean working any more Arsenal games. After just two days, 70,000 fans have signed and will likely reach its goal of 75,000 signatures later today.
Do Arsenal fans have a right to be upset about what happened? Yeah, probably. Dean made a terribly bad call that changed the complexion of the game. Is he biased against Arsenal? Well some Arsenal fans may say yes but he very likely isn’t. Referees are like commentators and even writers. When someone makes a call or says or writes something that isn’t pleasing for a team, a (usually small) sector of fans of that team will immediately believe you are against their team in some way. Every team has fans like that, it’s not exclusive with one team.
I don’t know what team Mike Dean supports (if he does) but I would imagine that a 15 year Premier League referee has made multiple mistakes for every team he has worked with just in sheer probability. Some of those mistakes may not be as bad as this past weekend but they were mistakes nonetheless. I’m sure this doesn’t make Arsenal fans feel any better but the man made a mistake that helped result in Arsenal losing the game. I highly doubt there is a grand conspiracy from the FA to appoint referees who hate Arsenal to work games.
While it’s highly unlikely anything will come as a result or even the FA reads this, I will say that at least these Arsenal fans are going about their in a peaceful way by instituting a petition. Some fans’ imaginations can run wild with things they would like to do with a referee who made a bad call. At least this petition doesn’t involve any sort of physical harm.

A large number of people participated in the Abia State’s monthly environmental clean-up program in July, mostly those from Umuahia and the surrounding areas.
Contrary to previous results, most parking lots, stores, and markets in Umuahia, the state capital, as well as homes, were cleaned by their residents, while the Abia State government provided vehicles to haul away the trash that was collected from gutters.
During the 7 to 10am event, representatives of the Abia State Environmental Protection Agency, ASEPA, also cleaned up garbage dumps located throughout the city.
However, the atmosphere at the local government council secretariat in Umuahia North looked ugly, was overrun with grass, and had abandoned trash dumps.
Speaking to the media after touring the clean-up, the Abia State Commissioner for Environment, Philomen Ogbonna, issued a warning that moving forward, any motor parks, markets, or shopping centers in the state that are not kept clean, particularly on environmental day, will be sealed.
He added that there are plans to unblock all state drains that have been obstructed in order to allow water to flow freely and reduce erosion.
The Chief of Staff to Governor Alex Otti, Caleb Ajagba, who was joined by other key government officials, also spoke to the residents of Isi gate Umuahia and Aba Motor Park. He added that both domestic and foreign investors are not interested in placing their money in filthy towns.
On taking office, Governor Alex Otti had already declared a state of emergency about the filthy atmosphere in Abia, but he remarked that Otti was determined to transform Umuahia’s previous negative mindset.
“We are not here to bother you; rather, we are here to educate you on the importance of supporting the state’s new administration in its efforts to improve cleanliness.
“You people will see and testify about a new Umuahia by December this year,” he remarked.

Lionel Richie, American Idol judge and cowriter of We Are The World, is getting mixed reactions about his choice to re-re-release his famous song. The first version of the charity fundraiser, released in 1985, and benefited victims of famine in Africa. With stars like Michael Jackson (who cowrote the song), Quincy Adams (who produced it), Cyndi Lauper, and John Mellencamp, the song raised over $60million for its cause.
In 2010, less than a year after Michael Jackson’s death, the song was rerecorded with younger artists for the victims of the 7.0 earthquake that devastated so much of Haiti. The artists were chosen in hopes of reaching a younger audience, and Haitian-American artist Wyclef Jean was also asked to participate. The artists included Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Jennifer Hudson, P!nk and Kanye West. The cover featured updated lyrics and a rap interlude written by will.i.am. Quincy Jones was also a key figure in the production of this video.
Last month, to raise money for the Covid-19 effort, Lionel Richie decided to release the song again, this time as the finale to American Idol. The American Idol finalists, along with some judges and past contestants, were the artists of choice on this one, all of them recording from quarantine. In lieu of a group recording session, this video is mostly of places emptied by the Coronavirus-related lockdown.
So which one is your favorite?

A ‘Grease’ Spinoff Series Is Headed to HBO Max
The streaming content arms race continues — and so do the revivals of classic movies and shows (or, in this case both).
Per TVLine, the 1978 musical Grease is coming to WarnerMedia’s HBO Max streaming service in an all new form. Grease: Rydell High is a new series “inspired by” the John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John movie, and “will also be set in the 1950s, when ‘the Pink Ladies and the T-Birds still rule the school.” It will reportedly include “some characters you already know, and a whole lot more you will soon meet.” (Since John Travolta looks like this now, we’re assuming if Danny is one of the regulars, the role will be recast.)
The show, like the film (and the Broadway show it was based on) will be a musical:
The musical numbers will include hit songs from the time period along with original compositions, all as it explores ‘the peer pressures of high school, the horrors of puberty and the rollercoaster of life in middle America with a modern sensibility that will bring it to life for today’s musical lovers.’
The other time someone tried to expand the Grease Cinematic Universe, the results were Grease 2, a sequel with a mostly new cast of characters starring a very young Michelle Pfeiffer. It did not connect with audiences the way the first Grease did, but it steadily built a cult fandom, some of whom even prefer it to the original film. That said, I imagine HBO Max is hoping Grease: Rydell High will reach a much wider audience, and much more quickly. The streaming service is expected to launch early in 2020.

The borough risks becoming the first in the UK without a proper Trading Standards service, which could lead to a lack of enforcement of laws aimed at consumer protection. The Trading Standards Manager has resigned in protest.
Phil Lewis the Director General of the ACG says, “The UK is facing a growing threat from transnational criminal organizations that use profits from the fake trade to fund even more menacing forms of illicit activities, such as human trafficking, drug trafficking, weapon smuggling, modern slavery, and other new digital organized economic crimes aimed directly at consumers”.
The trade of fake goods in the UK is valued at £9.3 billion, resulting in £1.3 billion annual losses that could have been used for vital public services. However, the damage is not just economic. Fake goods are not only inferior versions of genuine products, but they are also increasingly dangerous. The influx of fake electrical, pharmaceutical, alcohol and beverages, household products, car parts, and machined products is putting more unsuspecting consumers at risk.
Last year, Enfield Trading Standards successfully prosecuted a jeweler for selling fake designer gold jewelry and seized goods worth £34,000 that would have otherwise flooded into criminal hands.
The risks for consumers and our job-providing businesses are clearly escalating. Trading Standards are our front-line defense, and to witness a decision to devastate such a vital and excellent service is nothing less than frightening.
ACG urges Enfield Council to reconsider its decision and work with Trading Standards to ensure that consumers and businesses in the area are adequately protected.
ACG represents more than 3,000 brands affected by this influx of fakes into the UK and delivers an international network of information, advice and contacts on all aspects of IP protection. Working with Government and law enforcement agencies since 1980, ACG is focused on providing an effective and sustained response to counterfeiting.
Membership with the ACG is the best way to work with government and enforcement bodies to protect your brand. Our Roadshows and training days help you reach out to police, trading standards and border force officers and tell them about your genuine products.

Bank of America Corporation (NYSE: BAC) reports that its earnings for the second quarter have surpassed expectations, primarily due to a rise in its number of customers and the positive impact of increased interest rates.
Despite the positive results, the Bank of America has decided to increase its provision for credit losses by $602 million, bringing the total to $1.1 billion. This adjustment is necessary to address the potential impact of higher rates on customers.
The bank reported an 11% increase in revenue, net of interest expense, compared to the previous year, reaching a total of $25.2 billion. Net income also saw a surge of 19% to $7.4 billion. Earnings per share have increased by 21% to $0.88, surpassing the average estimate of $0.84 predicted by 11 analysts, as reported by Zacks Investment Research.
Brian Moynihan, the Bank of America chair and CEO, expressed pride in the bank’s performance, stating, “We delivered one of the strongest quarters and first-half net income periods in the company’s history.”
Moynihan further highlighted the positive impact of organic client growth, increased client activity, and higher interest rates, all of which contributed to the 11% revenue increase.
In addition, the bank acknowledged the overall healthiness of the US economy, albeit with a slower growth rate, supported by a resilient job market.
Earlier this month, Bank of America joined other major US banks in signaling an increase in its dividend after successfully passing the Federal Reserve’s stress tests. It plans to raise its quarterly dividend by 9.1% to $0.24 per share from $0.22, starting in the third quarter of this year.
Shares of Bank of America (BAC) traded 0.8% higher at $29.62 in the pre-market trading Tuesday.

I haven't done a Top Ten Tuesday in a hot freaking minute. I have no excuses as to why not, I just haven't. And for that I am deeply apologetic. So to make up for lost time I'm going to do one today. This Tuesdays topic is Books on my Summer 2019 TBR.
10. Once and For All by Sarah Dessen
Is it really summer if you don't read a Sarah Dessen book? Me thinks not.
9. Choice by Laikyn Meng
I just got this book in the mail and I'm not so patiently waiting to get into it!
8. Dirty Like Dylan by Jaine Diamond
I HAVE to continue on with this series. It's. So. Good.
7. Mother Shucker (Sibby Book 3) by Samantha Garman
I'm not going to lie to you guys, I've already started this. But it was on my list before I knew I'd be actually typing out a list. So that counts, right?
6. Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty
I recently began binging this show and I'm obsessed. Like almost shamefully obsessed. Like Perry with Celeste obsessed.
5. Downfall by Jay Crownover
It's been a minute since I've read my beloved Jay Crownover and I'm so ready to get back into her stories.
4. Parallel by Elizabeth O'Roark
I was just sent this book. I must finish this post so I can go read it.
3. I Owe You One by Sophie Kinsella
I adore this woman. I have not EVER read one of her books that I did not enjoy and it's about damn time I read another. I'm so excited.
2. The Worst Best Man (And basically every book she's written) by Lucy Score
Guys, I think I've made it very clear how much I adore this woman. Now I must read everything she's written.
1. The Rosemary Beach series by Abbi Glines
Why yes, I have read this entire series. And yes, I would like to read it again. It's been a while and they're the perfect summertime reads.

Day 76, Friday 18.07.2014 – Everything comes to an end: Farewell Party for David and Leon
When living in a shared apartment you always have the chance of winning the jackpot or drawing one blank after the other (or how Leon would like to say: draw human cardboard plates – you do not need to wash them, just throw them away). After almost 12 weeks beeing in Malaga and experiencing different roomies as well as various classmates it is time for a quick conclusion. As mentioned in one of my former blogposts, most of the people I got to know during the last couple of weeks were more or less just Reise-Etappen-Freunde (literally translated: Journey-stage-friends), which came and went mostly on a bi-weekly basis without leaving a big impact on me or my journey. It does not mean that all those people weren´t nice or that we didn´t have a great time – on the contrary. It basically means that after their time they went without leaving a whole or the strong wish to stay in contact. But as most rules contain exceptions so does this. Today is the farewell party for two of my closest friends so far. In my opinion, you keep from every time in your live, from every experience 2-3 persons, who really become friends and with whome you achieve to stay in contact over the years (which is in my opinion more than just liking Facebook pictures).
Roomis and Friends of the first 12 weeks:
The first face I saw when I arrived in Malaga and enterred the door into my new home was a baby face called Leon. Unguilty 18 years, boy scout and also long-term-student in the same school as I am. Obviously waiting for another long-term-student he immediatelly began to gain my friendship with courtesies like: “You can use all the stuff in the kitchen I bought!” or “I cook, do you want to have some!” etc. Wow, I was impressed….until I first tried what he called cooking. Scrambled eggs…with mince!!! WTF, in which couisine do you eat eggs with mince??? Guess only in Leons World. But everybody deserves a second chance and it improved. At least a bit. What he called “cooking” this time were Frankfurter sausages, white bread, roasted onions, ketchup and mustard – a.k.a. Hot Dogs. Nice, but not a culinary masterpiece. I appreciated the effort but from now on I took over the cooking responsibility and I guess my dear friend was kind of happy that I did. The only other occasion when he used our kitchen equipment was when he accidently jumped into the sea with his mobile phone in his pocket. He thought it would be a nice idea to dry the phone in the oven…and to prevent that anybody steals the phone out of the oven, he tried to lock the oven by sealing it off with ducktape. Well done buddy. Of course the mobile phone was damaged beyond repair but at least nobody stole it. Besides the developable knowledge of cocking and usage of an oven, he also knew only half of the functionality of a refrigerator. He was a Master in taking food and beverages out of the fridge for preparing Sandwiches – but exactly at this point his knowledge ended. Always when I came into the kitchen, I immediately knew what kind of Sandwich Leoncito had prepared for breakfast, lunch or dinner because all the ingredients as well as plates, knives and other stuff were still on the counter. At the beginning, I put everything back into the fridge and cleaned the dirty cutlery for him. After a while, I dared to ask, whether he does not want to clean up his stuff. His answer was shocking and intelligent in the same way: “What do you mean? When I come into the kitchen the next time everything is cleaned already…like at home at Mums place…isnt´t that everywhere the same?”. What a bitch – so now I am his Mum, cocking, cleaning and checking that he isn´t late at school. And the last one – that he won’t be late for his appointments – was the hardest task of all. I guess during the eleven weeks we went to school together there wasn´t a single day when we were on time. One could say, I totaly failed in my effort to try to teach Leoncito a little bit punctuality, but I thing he did it on purpose. Because even at the days we were in time at the school, he spent 5 extra minutes in the cafeteria chatting just to be late in clase.
In general, I didn´t care about his attitude of beeing notoriously unpunctual but from time to time I was close to killing him. For example, as Germany played France in the Quarter Final of the World Cup we wanted to leave the appartment at 17:00. 16:15 I told Leoncito: 45 minutes to go; 16:30 I told him: 30 minutes to go; 16:45 I told him: 15 minutes to go….16:57 he smilingly walked into my room and had the checkiness to ask: “Daniel, do you know where my shampoo is?” – first I though it was a joke and he tried to tease me but the sad thing was: it wasn´t. “I have no f*** idea where your shampoo is but in 2 minutes we want to leave!!!” “Stay cool, I am ready soon…anyways, it’s only football!” … breath…deep breath…why do always I have to suffer? However, as life is, a chance for a revenge always comes…you just have to wait. At the end of his stay his girlfriend visited him and I was the choosen one to drive Leoncito to the airport to pick up his girlfriend. Allthough the plane only arrived at 18:30 he was nervous the whole day and asked a thousand times when we have to leave to be punctual…honestly, I guess it was the first time Leoncito used a watch in his life…but I had time. At he appointed hour he knocked at my door and found me lying in my bed in my boxers whatching a movie: “Hey, is it already so late, ooooohhhh sorry, didn´t notice. I won´t need long! …but Leon, could you tell me where my shampoo is?” …and I had time 😉
The second person, which accompanied me since my arrival in Malaga, is David. He was an intern at Debla and our personal Bocadillo (Sandwich) and coffee slave, as he ran the Cafeteria at the school. Besides this, David also was our semi-professional travel guide and organized almost every trip that we did during the last three month. Luckily, travel guide is not his real profession because otherwise he would have problems to earn his living. For example, his advise for our Gibraltar trip was: “We should park outside the country!” – that’s it, no more advises what to do, where to go? No! And when planning our route he always thought that we drive a 4×4. I don’t want to know how often my car touched the ground because we used roads, which were exclusevily for adventure holidays or motocross bikes (for more detailed information about this or other trips, just check respective blog posts). But, and that is a pro, almost all our trips were amazing or at least unforgetable events. Speaking of events, I guess we had no event without anybody having an accident. As long as David was here, all other participants were totally save because he attracted accidents like sweet blood attracts mosquitos. Falling in a tunnel, crashing on rocks while swimming, almost drowning because of the strong sea, having the worst sunburn, etc. – everything was on him (okay, I have to admit, I also had one little accident an almost broke two fingers – I guess David was just to far away). His farewell present for me was – amongst others – a frozen pizza. This was not because I so much like frozen pizzas, but because in his first week he bought this pizza, just to recognise back in the apartment he hasn’t got an oven. David, you could have come to our place and use our oven – at least at times when it wasn’t occupied with Leoncitos mobile phone.
Alexandra was my other long-term room- and classmate. Before she arrived we only knew two things: First, she is from Poland. Second, our rooms do not have keys and cannot be locked. “Holy crap, what do we do” Leoncito and I thought. However, two days after she arrived we knew, that she perfectly fits into our apartment. Like a small little family Alex and I shared the care for Leoncito, from this time onwards also known as “Junior”. Together with Alex, Barbara arrived and for the first two weeks they were our party fraction. Once, they achieved to go out on Friday evening with not more than 10,- € each and succeeded to bring 7,- € back – and I wouldn’t say that they didn’t drink anything. They also managed to persuade two policemen to drive them from the police station home to the apartment because the taxi was to expansive and the way to far to walk. I guess I would have been arrested and spend the whole weekend in jail. But it wasn’t the only incident were police was involved. Alex also got visitors from home and had to fetch them at the airport. Actually, there were times when I didn’t really know how many visitors we had and sometimes I thought Alex had started a nice little Bed & Breaksfast for friends from Poland. – And we still hadn’t keys for our doors. Anyways, for picking up her friend, Alex borrowed my car and drove to the airport. Unfortunately she took a wrong street, which were only for buses and cabs and parked Trixers car directly at the taxi stand (not that there weren’t signs). Surprisingly, a police officer came and friendly asked for drivers license and car registration. Not only that a girl from Poland drove a German car on a strictly forbidden street, she even hasn’t had a clue were to find the registration document. Only with the help of the police officer she finally figured out to look in the glove compartment, where she eventually found the document. This, however, didn´t solve all the problems, because as the police officer asked for the name of the owner of the car, she replied: Daniel Seeger. Of course, this wasn’t quite right, as the car is registered on my uncle. To sum up: a Polish girl in a German car on a forbidden street with no clue who is the owner of the car! I don’t know how she managed it but she neither got arrested nor a ticket! The officer just told, that she had to drive away…of course only after the friend has arrived. WTF. Slowly I begin to think that the Spanish police is kind of manipulable by beautiful girls!
I could write plenty more about Junior, David, Alex and Barbara and the stories we experienced toghether would fill a small book. You guys were definitely the best friends and roommates I could have wished for the start of my journey. Thanks to all of you for the great time and valuable experiences. I hope our ways cross sooner or later again and we will stay in contact.
Of course the four of them weren’t my only room- and classmates I had so far. Most of the others were great persons as well but unfortunately stayed only for a short while. Anyway, thanks to all of you guys, above all to Andi, Ted and Franzi, with whome I also had great time.

Marine Biology Concentration at USCB
USCB's Marine Biology program received state approval in 2020, but students have been taking course offerings focused on the marine environment since our founding. The program is situated on the Beaufort campus, and students can take all major classes there.
Students finishing a concentration in marine biology will have a complex understanding of the marine environment and the impacts humans can make — both positively and negatively — on these ever more fragile realms.
Beaufort County is a living laboratory for the marine environment — home to an incredible, large, tidally influenced river system and to the Port Royal Sound, the largest natural port on the east coast of the United States. Beaufort County also contains an estimated 10% of the smooth cordgrass (Sporobolus alterniflorus, formerly Spartina) marsh area of the entire east coast of the United States.
Many of our faculty focus on marine life and ecosystems. Their reserach interests include:
- Exploring bio-medical discovery
- Genetic analysis
- Ecosystem research
As part of the degree program, students will gain hands-on experience in different areas of marine biology. Our capstone courses span the range from Biological Oceanography to practical knowledge of current and developing marine policies based on the science that students learn. Students can intern or research locally and are encouraged to participate in summer internships ranging from primary research to federal-level internships.
The types of classes you will take include:
- Biological Oceanography
- Marine Policy
- Coral Reef Ecology
- Salt Marsh Ecology
- Invertebrate Zoology
- Adaptations of Marine Organisms
- Marine Plants
- Conservation Biology
- Marine Ecology
- Molecular Marine Ecology
- Topics in Biology
Research opportunities are also available through faculty and regional research facilities including Waddell Mariculture Center, Port Royal Sound Foundation and opportunities with the Beaufort County.
