On Friday of 6th week, black student Khomosto Moshikaro was refused service at The Plush Lounge by the bar staff. Moshikaro claimed that the denial of service was racially motivated.
Kameel Premhid, Moshikaro's friend who was with him on the night in question, recounted the events in an affidavit he sent to the nightclub, complaining about his friend's treatment by bar staff, stating, "I attempted to buy drinks for my friend Khomotso Moshikaro and myself. Upon receiving my drinks order, [the staff member serving me] proceeded to inform me that I was able to order drinks [for myself] but no longer able to order drinks for my friend. The justification offered by said staff member… was that my friend was 'too drunk' and did not need any more alcohol. After said bar staff member made such pronouncement as to the state of sobriety of my friend, she proceeded to serve me subsequent rounds of drinks with little or no regard to my state of being.
"At no [other] point was any concern raised directly and/ or indirectly about the state of sobriety of myself or my friend. In fact, no issue was made as to our continued presence at Plush other than when the bar was approached. In the absence of any concern being raised, I would like to know upon what basis – if any – any judgment was made with respect to the sobriety of my friend."
The Plush Lounge issued a statement in response to the alleged racial discrimination, stating, "Plush Oxford is owned and operated by members of a minority community with an equally diverse workforce. Our aim is to provide a safe and inclusive environment regardless of sexual orientation, age, gender, race or colour of skin. The suggestion that institutional racism exists within our organisation is strongly denied and upsetting.
"As an experienced and responsible licensed retailer of alcohol, we take very seriously our obligations in respect of the sale of products to members of the public deemed to be intoxicated. The law places requirements on both the premises management and serving staff, both of which could face criminal proceedings for failing to observe the law. We will not comment on specific situations, but can confirm that a recent matter has been brought to our attention and we are now in dialogue with the individual concerned regarding this matter."
Premhid responded, "How does Plush refute claims that its staff exercise, whether directly or indirectly, racially discriminatory policies against those discernibly identifiable as black given the unjustified discrepancy in treatment by its own bar staff of non-black and black patrons on two different occasions?
"Oxford is by and large a liberal, progressive, and tolerant place. We would be fooling ourselves to think, however, that all forms of prejudice have been eradicated, even in places we would otherwise be happy to consider to be safe."
Marc Shi, an Oxford student, commented to Cherwell, "While I see that this is just an allegation, it unfortunately wouldn't surprise me at all if this turned out to be true, and also wouldn't surprise me if the club continues to deny that anything 'racist' was happening.
"I think living in a society in which racism and colonialism are entrenched in almost every system and social interaction means that along with coming out in obvious, violent ways, it also comes out in these subtle, easy-to-miss ways."

EDUCATION is the basis for improving our life and sustainable development. Therefore, access to quality education must be universal.
A commitment to education for development and sustainable life implies fundamental aspects such as human rights, gender equality, environmental protection, valuing diversity and a culture of peace and nonviolence.
We must also guarantee universal access to HEALTH: sexual and reproductive, family planning and non-discriminatory access to information and health education for everyone. These efforts need to be complemented with a commitment to disease prevention and care.
We understand the right to FOOD as one of the most basic needs for the development of people's lives and rights. It is essential to eat with dignity. People must be able to freely choose and obtain their food from natural sources, that are physically and economically accessible and appropriate to their needs.
Guarantee a decent and adequate HOUSING for people and communities, taking advantage and respecting the resources and knowledge of their natural and human environment.
In Green Pedal we work to respond to many of these needs through the employees and infrastructure (schools and health centers) of the ESMABAMA counterpart that has been committed to guaranteeing basic services to a large part of the rural population of the Sofala province (Mozambique) for more than 20 years.

UALR releases schedule
LITTLE ROCK — Head coach Scott Norwood has announced the UALR baseball schedule for the upcoming 2014 season. The Trojans will play a 56-game regular-season slate featuring 16 matchups against seven schools that qualified for the 2013 NCAA Tournament.
In April, UALR plays nine of 14 games against teams who finished second in their respective regionals in the 2013 NCAA Tournament. The Trojans kick off the month at Central Arkansas on April 2. After its contest with its in-state rival, UALR plays host to SBC newcomer Georgia State (April 4-6).
The Trojans play seven other contests against NCAA Tournament teams, including a trip to Oxford, Miss., to close out non-conference weekend action (March 7-9) and a trip to take on Oklahoma March 19.

College Sports Madness recognizes A-State's Lee
JONESBORO — Arkansas State junior linebacker Qushaun Lee (Prattville, Ala.) has been named the College Sports Madness Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Week for his performance in the Red Wolves' 17-16 road win over South Alabama last Saturday.
Lee recorded a career-high 16 tackles, including one tackle for loss, and a pass break-up against the Jaguars to earn the accolades from the online publication. Lee and the Red Wolves' defense held South Alabama to 75 yards under its total offense average and to its lowest scoring output this season.
He has a team-high 83 tackles, which is also ranked second in the Sun Belt Conference.
A-State's Young earns SBC defensive player honors
JONESBORO — Arkansas State senior safety Sterling Young (Hoover, Ala.) was named the Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Week on Monday after recording nine tackles and an interception during the Red Wolves' 17-16 road victory over South Alabama last Saturday.
Young's nine tackles were only one shy of his season high, while his interception marked the fourth of his career. Young was part of A-State's defense that held South Alabama 75 yards under its season total offense average and to its lowest scoring output this season.
His interception came at a critical junction of the game and sparked a second-half comeback by A-State. Leading 6-0, South Alabama drove to the ASU 22-yard line on the opening possession of the second half when Young picked off Jaguars' quarterback Ross Metheny in the back of the end zone. Not only did the forced turnover keep it a one-possession game, it swung the momentum back to the Red Wolves as they responded with an 80-yard touchdown drive to take a 7-6 advantage.
Begic earns another weekly honor
LITTLE ROCK — UALR junior Edina Begic captured her 7th Sun Belt Conference Player of the Week honor in 2013, announced by the conference offices on Monday.
The Trojans (19-7, 11-3 SBC) went 3-0 on the week, defeating rival Arkansas State in five sets, sweeping ULM and beating South Alabama in four sets.
Combined with three such honors last season, Begic now has 10 SBC Offensive Player of the Week awards for her career.
Against Arkansas State on Oct. 30, Begic recorded a double-double in the first two sets alone en route to 23 kills and a match-best 20 digs. She followed that up with 23 kills in three set against ULM Nov. 1 with a .409 hitting percentage. She saved the best for last against South Alabama on Nov. 3 with 26 kills and a .426 hitting percentage. For the week, Begic averaged six kills per set.
SAA names Burchfield player of the week
CONWAY — Hendrix College senior outside hitter Katie Burchfield was named the Southern Athletic Association Volleyball Offensive Player of the Week on Monday. The award is the second of the season for the Cabot native.

The Museum of Humankind
Ngaren is a historic collaboration in Rift Valley, Kenya between paleoanthropologist Dr. Richard E. Leakey and architect Daniel Libeskind. This cutting edge site for education and research into our origin story—and future—will break ground in 2022, opening to the public in 2024.
Project Details & Background
Ngaren invites visitors to join in a journey into the past.
Our understanding of the past is critical to defining our possible future. Through state of the art technology, Ngaren, the Museum of Humankind will foster that understanding, providing an unprecedented educational and scientific experience for visitors. Ngaren will invite visitors to join a journey into the origins of the universe, and the story of our own planet where the relentless forces of climate change are the backdrop to the evolution and extinction of species, large and small. Visitors will learn the story of humankind; a story where human evolution was not inevitable, where Africa plays a pivotal role; a story in which we are all migrants, in which our differences are insignificant and irrelevant. From the earliest tools of our ancestors to the insights of modern science, Ngaren will show visitors how humankind has rewritten the rules of the planet—and how our behavior must change if we are to survive here. Ngaren challenges us to learn from the past to build a better future.
Ngaren draws upon decades of combined international experience. It is spearheaded by Dr. Richard E. Leakey, who has demonstrated an unparalleled life commitment to uncovering the scientific truth about human origins, and to the people of Kenya. Partnering with Leakey is celebrated architect Daniel Libeskind, known for designing landmark cultural buildings around the world.
The building will be a net-zero facility. The museum will be a must-visit destination; a pilgrimage for all global travelers curious to know who we are, and the forces of change that brought us to this point. Your contributions on rabble will provide Ngaren seed funding for architectural design, interpretive and master planning, exhibition research and design, and the development of exclusive, cutting edge experiential educational content. This support is integral to Ngaren's mission to shift paradigms by addressing critical issues facing the world today: climate change, sustainability, environmental awareness, understandings of race and ethnicity, extinction, technology, and more. Ngaren will make accessible complex scientific concepts by bringing them to life, incorporating technology, art, and exhibitions that educate and inform. Further, your contributions will help the Terra Conservation Initiative provide sustainable development support to surrounding communities, recognizing the museum's dependence on the site's history, present, and future.
The Team
Richard Leakey
Paleoanthropologist, Conservationist, Politician, Founder
Dr. Richard E. Leakey is a Kenyan paleoanthropologist, conservationist, and politician. Leakey has held a number of official positions in Kenya, mostly in institutions of archaeology and wildlife conservation. He has been Director of the National Museum of Kenya and head of the Kenyan Wildlife Service, and he founded the NGO WildlifeDirect, the Turkana Basin Institute, and Ngaren: The Museum of Humankind.
Daniel Libeskind
An international figure in architecture and urban design, Daniel Libeskind is renowned for his ability to evoke cultural memory in buildings. Informed by a deep commitment to music, philosophy, literature, and poetry, Mr. Libeskind aims to create architecture that is resonant, unique and sustainable. In 1989, Mr. Libeskind won the international competition to build the Jewish Museum in Berlin. A series of influential museum commissions followed, including the Felix Nussbaum Haus, Osnabrück; Imperial War Museum North, Manchester; Denver Art Museum; Contemporary Jewish Museum, San Francisco; Danish Jewish Museum; Royal Ontario Museum; and the Military History Museum, Dresden. In 2003, Studio Libeskind won another historic competition—to create a master plan for the rebuilding of the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan. Mr. Libeskind lives in New York with his wife and business partner, Nina Libeskind. He is a licensed architect in the State of New York.
Am I donating to Ngaren or to the Terra Conservation Initiative?
Your donation will go to Terra Conservation Initiative to support Ngaren and other TCI conservation organizations.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes, Terra Conservation Initiative (TCI) is a program sponsored by Ngaren, a 501(c)(3) organization.
Is the Ngaren Museum of Humankind related to Turkana Basin Institute in any capacity?
Not at present, but it is Richard Leakey's intention to link the two upon completion of construction.
When do Leakey and Libeskind anticipate breaking ground on the museum?
When will the museum be completed and open to the public?
How will Ngaren be different from existing natural history museum?
Ngaren will not be a traditional natural history museum. While it will house great halls and exhibits like other museums, the visitor experience will be anything but traditional. Ngaren will use technology and immersive experience to challenge visitors' misconceptions about climate change; ideas about stability—from changing continents to changing environments; to views about extinction and the progress in evolution. Ngaren will challenge erroneous beliefs about evolution and the rules that govern the evolution of all life on Earth. It will challenge ideas about how we have re-written the rules, endangering our future and that of all life on Earth. Ngaren will challenge you to learn from the past to build a better future.
Ngaren will use the latest state of the art technology—updated on regular basis—to virtually transport visitors through time, allowing them to change the past, present, and future. Thereby, the museum will provide a unique education on climate change, the effects of humankind on our environment, and our potential to foster a better global future. Ngaren will be a welcoming space that will encourage human interaction and connectivity – a place of transformation.
With this site chosen as the location, what kind of additional infrastructures are being built to make it more accessible?
The museum will be located on a 300-acre parcel in Loodariak, which is southeast of Nairobi in Kajiado County. The area, which is in the Great Rift Valley of Kenya, is known for its savannah, geology, fauna and rich history as the cradle of human life. The museum site is about 60 kilometers, or a short drive, from Kenya's capital city of Nairobi. Loodariak is a rural area, with a population of about 10,000, who are mostly members of the Massai tribe. The land was generously donated by the Leakey family to build Ngaren. The government of Kenya has committed $10M in funding toward the infrastructure surrounding Ngaren, including the exits on and off the currently under-construction superhighway that will bypass the museum.
What types of exhibits will the museum include in its programming?
Many of the exhibits are already in the planning stages, and Ngaren will be releasing information at a future time. Climate change over the ages will provide a central focus, offering context around the origins of life, the age of dinosaurs, and humankind's journey through the past to the present, and into the future.

Saturday 11th April 2009
Just a short journey up the M69 and the A46 lies Watermead Country Park, a series of pools and lakes formed from former sand and gravel workings. The purpose of this out of County excursion was to see a Red rumped Swallow, a regular spring overshoot to the UK but still a great bird to see in the Midlands. There was a steady drizzle as I arrived which persisted throughout the morning. The Red rumped Swallow showed well in company with a good number of Barn Swallows, Sand Martins and House Martins. For good measure there was a pair of Green Sandpiper and a Little ringed Plover on some rough ground opposite the main pool. I recognised some familiar faces amongst the douzen or so assembled birders. John Hague was his usual welcoming self and after the usual banter about Pork pies we both attempted to take some blog shots in what were becoming atrocious conditions. Get your excuses in early thats what I say.
John suggested we visit Cropston Res. which is a short distance away. I must admit I was rather envious of the local Birders as Cropston and if my memory serves Swithland are havens of tranquility compared with Draycote Water or indeed much of Kingsbury Water Park. There were a pair of Red breasted Mergansers and a pair of Common Scoter on the water, a drake Mandarin flew over and a Common Sandpiper on the dam wall near the road. All in all a good tally at Cropston and a thoroughly enjoyable mornings birding in Leicestershire.

When I first started speaking about social media marketing in 2008, I'd survey the group to see how many people used social media sites. The majority of baby boomers in the room would NOT raise their hands. Fast forward to 2010, and there is rarely a soul in the room who isn't using Facebook or LinkedIn.
The PEW Internet Research Center just released a report on how older users are using social media. I wanted to share some of the key statistics here and my thoughts.
- Social networking use among internet users ages 50 and older nearly doubled—from 22% in April 2009 to 42% in May 2010.
- During the same period, use among those ages 65 and older grew 100%–from 13% to 26%.
- By comparison, social networking use among users ages 18-29 grew by 13%—from 76% to 86%.
- 1 in 10 internet users ages 50 and older now say they use Twitter or another service to share updates about themselves or see updates about others.
My thoughts:
1) As social media infiltrates every aspect of our lives – online and offline – we are forced to learn and adapt. Imagine that you are a 60 year old HR executive. At first, you ignore social sites because you enjoy face to face interaction more, and don't feel like you have the time to learn it. Then, you find that your kids have posted your grandchildren's pictures on Facebook. The only way you can be a part of that is to join as well. Yet, you resist. You insist that they email you pictures separately. Then, you find that your 30 year college reunion is being canceled in lieu of an online reunion. You may still resist the idea. Finally, your boss comes to you and says let's budget some of our recruiting dollars for social sites. How long can you hold back? Eventually, we give in and adapt to keep up with the world around us.
2) Social media has gotten easier. It may not be a piece of cake, but resources are now abundant. If you wanted to understand social networking two years ago, you may have struggled to find answers. Today, there are numerous books on social media marketing, hundreds of blogs, and even plenty of live social media workshops. It has become very simple to engage on social networking sites.
3) Just because they are using it doesn't mean they are using it in the same way as their younger counterparts. One common misconception is to confuse usage with interaction. It isn't. While younger generations prefer to create content (blogging) and partake in online discussions, older users prefer to observe and don't actively engage at the same level. This is really important to note because if you cater to an older demographic, you may mistake their silence for their disinterest. It is important to base your metrics around your given audience.
What are your thoughts?

KAWASAKI – Kawasaki Frontale moved closer to a second straight J. League title with a 3-0 win Saturday against visiting Kashiwa Reysol.
Akihiro Ienaga opened the scoring in the 21st minute after Hidemasa Morita found him inside the box with a well-executed cross. The midfielder sent a left-footed shot into the top right corner past 'keeper Kosuke Nakamura for the early lead.
Shogo Taniguchi followed up 12 minutes later at Todoroki Stadium, outjumping Kenya forward Michael Olunga to head in a corner kick from Kengo Nakamura.
Reysol had a chance to halve the deficit in the 37th minute, but a shot from Junya Ito hit the left post.
The league leaders continued to dominate after the break, with Hiroyuki Abe jumping on a deflected save to seal the win.
Frontale sit on 63 points at the top of the table, seven points ahead of Sanfrecce Hiroshima in the 18-team first division with three league games left in the season.
They can secure their second straight and second overall league title with a win against eighth-place Cerezo Osaka next Saturday.
In other first-division matches, visiting FC Tokyo beat Yokohama F. Marinos 1-0 at Nissan Stadium courtesy of a winner from Jang Hyun-soo. FC Tokyo improved to 49 points, tying the Kashima Antlers in the race to next year's Asian Champions League.
At Yamaha Stadium, Kogi Ogawa's penalty time goal lifted Jubilo Iwata to a 3-2 win against Sanfrecce, who suffered their fourth straight loss.
At Toyota Stadium, a brace from former Germany international Lukas Podolski pushed Vissel Kobe 2-1 over Nagoya Grampus, who are one point outside the relegation zone in 15th place.

Pocahontas Analysis
I believe that the disney movie Pocahontas is very inaccurate because of all the details that don't match up with the actual story. Parts involving Pocahontas' age, the relationship between John smith and Pocahontas, John Smith's capture and the method of communication between Pocahontas and John Smith are told differently in the movie than in the sources I've read from. The purpose of this analysis is to inform the reader of all the mistruths in the movie that some people may have perceived as true.
Some of the only accurate parts in the movie are that John Smith was indeed about to be executed by the Powhatan and that Jamestown was founded in 1607. Besides these two facts, I believe that the rest of the movie is too warped from the real version.
In the movie, John Smith first meets Pocahontas, falls in love with her and is then captured by the Powhatan, but according to the article, he meets Pocahontas after he is captured leading an expedition in search of food on December of 1607. In the movie, Kocoum is shot dead by Thomas after Kocoum attacks John Smith, but in actuality, Kocoum went on to marry Pocahontas. Also in the movie, John Smith is about to be executed because he supposedly killed Kocoum, but the the article says that the execution was just a ritual performed by the Powhatan. The Pocahontas article talks about how John Smith was injured by a gunpowder explosion, whereas in the movie, the Governor shoots John Smith while aiming for the Powhatan chief. The movie ends when John Smith must go back to England to be treated for his wound inflicted upon him by the Governor. This first source already unveils many of the inaccuracies in the movie.
The Pocahontas letter, which is from John Smith's point of view, greatly favors Pocahontas. John Smith even calls her an instrument of God. In the letter though, John Smith describes his execution as real and that Pocahontas hazarded the beating out of her own body to save his...

It's Not Easy Being Mimi.
Booklist Reviews 2018 December #2
When a new kid moves into the empty apartment in Periwinkle Tower, Mimi is giddy with excitement. Could she finally be getting the BFF she has always wanted? In fact, she is not: what she gets instead is Boris, an awkward, quiet, dinosaur-loving, eating machine. The more time Mimi spends around Boris, the redder her mood ring gets (that's red for angry). The worst comes when he has to help her make the decorations for the Christmas pageant—and, of course, Boris wants to make a huge cardboard dinosaur with a sparkly body and gold tooth. As the year goes on, Mimi slowly begins to realize that Boris means well, and that it's better to be a friend than a bully. Lively spot art (where dinosaurs make frequent appearances) accompanies the short, readable chapters. This first installment of Mimi's adventurous antics offers a roller-coaster story filled with humour, good lessons, and new friendships. Grades 1-3. Copyright 2018 Booklist Reviews.

saturday night in out patients
just been riding, here's some photo's from the founders day rally at stanford hall in leicstershire, instant karma, the heavens opened and i got piss wet through as i passed the triumph factory in hinckley, ten minutes later, hot sunshine, some fantastic bikes here, the theme this year was the old 'flat-tankers' and it was great to see so many vintage bikes, not just trailered or vanned in, but actually ridden, walking around the avenue revealed many hidden gem's just leaning against the tree's, out on the duc monday night, tuesday on the duc again, wednesday, over to mfn, caught up with ammo, bench-donkee's andy, [thanks for the stickers mate], grant and his good lady, chalky sipping a pint of shandy and the ever present harold fresh from his counterfeiting operation with the wristbands to gain access to 'a really big and important classic bike event' fucking great! a septuagenarian displaying punk rock ideology and spitting in the face of a big, corporate organisation, an army of pensioners storming the gates with their dodgy band's, produced on a home computer and their winter heating allowance safe for another year! i can't get my head around the amount of people so packed, i couldn't get my bike out of the carpark when i decided to skin out, anyhoo, the stunt plane was brilliant, he came in fast and low, people were actually ducking as he skimmed the bikes, straight up, up to stall point and just flopping back to earth through the clear, blue ether, oh my, what would i give for a ride in one of those bi-planes, thursday and up to the norton factory at donington hall, the new domi racer and the tt bikes on display, a totally different vibe to wednesday, just super chilled, a cup of tea and a chat with the main honcho responsible for the norton domi-racer project, he explained just how hard it was to prepare each machine for the dreaded S.V.A test, the back light has to be at the furthest point at the rear of the bike, suspended on a horrible 'wheelie-bar' type outrigger, the indicators have a fixed centre and have to be 'e' marked and be of a certain size, then of course is the dreaded emissions test, the bikes are fitted with horrible silencers and cat's as standard, luckily, the bikes come with an optional race kit which includes the beautiful pipes, a re-map and a numberplate relocation bracket, [see the previous post for a photo of how the bike should look] i could spend a whole night just drinking in the details on these machines, bloody lovely, unfortunately dozy-bollock's forgot his camera and the phone pic's aren't wortha wank, so you'll just have to get your arse up there in a fortnight, or, wait until i go back again! the norton boy's were really interested in the view of 'normal' motorcyclists on their bikes and were taking notes and photographing bikes that caught their attention, me being me i asked him a lot of 'awkward' questions, one of the things that bugs me is how high the engine sit's in the frame, 'why can't you just cut the lower frame rails away and use the engine as a stressed member, you can lower the centre of gravity then?' the geezer then goes into an advanced mathematic's answer regarding the stresses that are put through the frame if you use it as a stressed member and i'm shot down in flames, [but, i did notice him scribbling notes in his book, norton 1- loveless 1, points shared, score draw.........

macOS Catalina notice - Press Release
October 10, 2019: Dear Voxengo users,
Voxengo plugins that are newly-installed on macOS Catalina may not work due to bizzare Apple "notarization" requirement. Previously installed plugins that were installed on the system before Catalina upgrade (e.g. on Mojave) do work without issues. We will need to upgrade our macOS developer tools and hardware to the latest requirements, and re-release all our plugins before new plugin installations may work. This will take an undefined amount of time. If your work relies on Voxengo plugins, upgrading to macOS Catalina is not recommended at this time.
Until further notice, macOS 10.15 Catalina is not officially supported by Voxengo software.

I went to photograph autumn colors, but at the end I spent most of my time with this mushroom. This image contains 5 images for focus stack. Macro lens has really shallow depth of field.

Thank you for support.

I've been busy with landscape photography, so I have completely forgotten my macro lens. It is weird that if you focus fully on one theme, then you won't see ohter things around you, thats why I really miss oled times. Then there where no pressure. I just photographed everything. And I was happy with whatever I managed to photograph. I think I should take time off and use my macro lens more often. After autumn season :)

Candy Shop Vintage had a moment in the spotlight Sunday on the latest episode of Mad Men. After patiently viewing every episode of the season, owner Dierdre Zahl finally spotted Christina Hendricks wearing a brooch and earrings from her local shop.
Zahl's opportunity arose at Charleston Fashion Week last year, when Mad Men costume designer Janie Bryant was featured as a judge. "I approached her because I wanted to show her some of my pieces," Zahl says. "But at the time they weren't filming season five yet, so she said to contact her when they were filming again." So she did. And after speaking with Bryant's assistant, she was invited to send off some pieces for consideration.
She had to research pretty extensively. Mad Men is set in the late 1960s, and all the pieces featured have to have been made within five years of when the episodes are set. This required Zahl to research the style of the time period, advertisements, and companies that manufactured all the pieces she was considering. Mad Men picked seven pieces she sent in.
Zahl hopes to continue working with Mad Men. "I certainly am going to contact them again when they start filming season six," she says. It's more difficult, and it's a change from her usual internet and trunk show sales, but Zahl reassures us that it's rewarding.
Zahl also plans to release a new line of jewelry this fall. The jewelry is vintage inspired, in the style of the vintage pieces she's been collecting for years. "They're new, but they'll be similar to the style of the Mad Men pieces — the '60s style that's been coming back."

I am in LOVE with this room! It is amazing!
One of my favourite designs! I keep staring at it every time I accidentally see it! Just amazing and really breathtaking!
This is breathtaking!
This is stunning!
Natalie T — I can't take full credit for using music as inspiration for designs. I actually got the idea from Fairlight, another designer on Roomstyler. She has some really great rooms if you want to look at her designs:)
Thank you everyone for the nice comments! I appreciate it:)
So good!
I am a musician as well. I think the idea of using musical pieces as inspiration is brilliant! lovely work for a boy :)
Perfect as ever. Wonderful feeling of home comes with this room. Love it.
wow! with the lights, perfect! :)
Parabéns Musicman!!!...seus projetos são realmente inspiradores!
Great job! I love it:)
Beautiful! really nice kitchen
Thank you Lydia! Music is a huge part of my life. I intend on going into composition and horn performance once I graduate high school. I've had the beautiful melodies from this piece stuck in my head for the past few weeks. I find a lot of inspiration in other pieces of music for both design and my own compositions. I'm especially fond of impressionist composers. This has to be one of my favorite pieces, and I hope you take a listen!
Very tasteful! You seem to find musical harmony even in a plain kitchen, which by the way, is very tasteful, as are all your designs! You really must love your music! But then again, what else can touch one's soul so deeply as a piece of music!
Thank you meggle:)

(St. Mark 7:37 KJV) "And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak."
After Jesus had healed the deaf and dumb man from his lack of hearing and speaking the people declared "He hath done all things well". And this statement still stands true today, "He hath done all things well"! If you are a believer in Christ Jesus, in spite of what your situation is in life, in spite of your circumstances, in spite of where you feel your life is now, the Lord makes no mistakes, in fact "He has done all things well". Yes, it is possible to doubt that comment when we look at what's going on in our world today.
It is possible to doubt that when we look at our own lives but if we will stand on the promises of God, which says "If God before us who can be against us (Rom 8:31)"; if we will stand on the word which says "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose (Rom 8:28)." Then to believe that he hath done all things well is not impossible at all.
Saints we must realize that some things happen in our world and in our lives to move us closer to God; some things happen in our world to cause people to pause, if only for a moment, and consider the fact that God is real. Don't get so caught up with the bad things that are going on around us, because as long as we have a devil there will be bad things going on in the world, but the fact still remains the Lord hath done and will do all things well.
God Bless You
Pastor Versal Mason

UFO: What was that?
UFO-Unidentified Flying Object…. What does this mean to you? It could be a plane, a weather balloon or something completely different. For as long as time has existed there has always been some sort of UFO spotting somewhere on this planet. These have also been used to discuss many conspiracy theories such as Area 51 which is located in Nevada. Most people link UFO's with aliens from another planet and maybe they are right. We really don't know, could there be life on another planet? Maybe these strange sightings really are beings from another solar system or galaxy.
No matter if you believe in the concept of extraterrestrials or not you must admit that we don't know all the secrets that the galaxy holds. There may be other life forms out there who use space travel looking for life elsewhere. I wonder some days if there really is other life out there what they would think of us? Would they think we were a psychotic race? Do they have wars and corrupt governments? Maybe we should all move to another planet; would that solve all our differences? Probably not but it's just a thought.
I have seen many things in the night sky that I couldn't tell what it was. It could just be a shooting star or maybe a passing plane since I do live near the local airport, but I also sit and wonder what if it's a spaceship from another dimension? Would I freak out if it was to land in my back yard? Would they be friendly? Would I? All these questions and no solid answers. Who are we to say whether or not there is other life forms out there. There could be someone on another planet, in another galaxy right now thinking and wondering these same things. Maybe we aren't alone, maybe there is something out there. We may never know but we should never stop looking. No matter what people say keep your heads high and reach beyond the starts, search for answers to the questions you want to ask. There are no wrong questions nor is there a wrong theory until it has been proven wrong and the only way to disprove it is to test the theory and find the answer.
Seek the unseen, find the lost answers, prove the unbelievable…. Never lose sight of who you are just because someone thinks you may be a little crazy. After all being normal is overrated and boring.

Patriot Blend, the k-cups are next to the machine. Pancakes with Wisconsin Maple syrup, the chemical bottle is there, fresh fruit, freshly made donuts and thick sliced bacon. The water is hot for cereals and tea.So. Wisconsin while still white is very wet, lots of drizzle the last couple of days have cleared walkways, roads and roofs. I watched maybe the last 10 minutes of the Super Bore game. Off to the fitness center for me, feed the horses and head to the cave. Enjoy your day.TomO 6 L A T E S T R E P L I E S (Newest First) BurleyJim Posted - 02/04/2019 : 10:48:51 AM Gators....taste like chicken slightly gamier, it goes great with collards & vinegar.Tom, thanks for a more conventional opening.Just back from the Post Office, we had a whopping 11 pieces of mis-delivered mail in the box Saturday, so I brought them to the Postmaster to see if she could handle them. Driveway and side roads are glare ice. It rained early last night, and then an overnight freeze made it an adventure getting out this morning.I tried modeling the Yuppie cup machine for the lounge last night, but my hand kept going numb on the mouse. (Must be some evil force involved  ) Time to get busy and see what I can screw up today.Have a Super day! Dutchman Posted - 02/04/2019 : 10:02:03 AM Good morning from the Sarasota area of Florida. We will be in the mid-70's today.We went to a local beer joint - 25 on tap, and tried a few samplers. One was a tasty Stout with hints of blueberry and maple. Not good for a steady diet, but something to switch to for a day a week type thing. Anyway, it was from a brewery in Michigan that I haven't seen in S.E. Michigan. (Saugatuck) As it turns out, I could get a 6 pack at a local shop down here. It seems funny to have to come to Florida to buy a 6-pack of a Michigan beer that is not available to me in my area of Michigan.We've been watching the local Gator sunning himself on the neighbor's lawn. He is about a 7-footer. Normally he is a slug, just laying there, but I saw him get alert and then make the 4' back into the lake in the blink of an eye. Impressive (and a bit scary).Have a great day! k9wrangler Posted - 02/04/2019 : 09:27:23 AM Cloudy and 50 degrees here in the palm of the mitten, we went out and about yesterday and at about sundown began looking for a place to eat, we were over S of Grand Rapids, it became very foggy, thankfully a slight knowledge of the area was helpful in navigating the roads. Amazing the fools without headlights on. We did find an eatery, had a fair meal and then headed home. The fog was so thick it was almost hallucinating to drive in. The closer to home the thinner it was, I believe the fog was from the heavy snow that had fallen over toward GR as the lake effect gives them more than we get, which is still plenty.Today I�lol be off in a bit to get my new hearing aids, supposedly much new tech in them, like blue tooth to link with my phone. That will be a great thing if it works right.Saw a bit of the game last night, only pro game I�ve seen in 2 years or more, never a fan and much less in recent times. Sort of a novelty, I can�t imagine paying to see it or taking the time to travel and find lodging. Slow weekend for the hobby, maybe some later today after I get the new ears...Have a great day all. George D Posted - 02/04/2019 : 09:17:18 AM Good morning, Tom and crew. Gonna be in the 50's in Tidewater Virginia, which means a bike ride. I'm in the middle of assembling and weathering some hopper kits. I need to make coal loads when I'm done. Have a good day.George Rusty Stumps Posted - 02/04/2019 : 08:58:02 AM Good morning Tom, Dave and the rest of the RR-L Crew. 45 deg. here in the Crossroads.

Ages ago, Surtur, somehow, was imprisoned by the Seal of Borsons with the Norn Stones as protective barrier seals.[1]
After the destruction of the last Norn Stone, Surtur was released from his imprisonment then burned Nidavelirr to the stone, killing almost all the dwarves and nearly destroying a supply of precious uru.
Surtur's conquest reaches throughout the Nine Realms, expanding far into space. Surtur takes full control of Amora, possessing her to lead an army of fire demons to conquer all worlds.[2]
After Thor learns of Surtur's release and of the disappearance of the Twilight Sword, he alerts Odin. Odin goes on his own to investigate the release of Surtur only to return with very little knowledge. When a ship is discovered in Midgard with the presence of Surtur, Thor, with the help of Heimdall, travels to the ship to learn of Surtur's plans. There Thor finds Beta Ray Bill, a survivor of Surtur's destruction of the Korbinite home planet.[3]
During a battle with Amora, Thor and Beta Ray Bill discovered Amora speaks with the voice of Surtur.[3]
Powers and Abilities
Seemingly those of Surtur of Earth-616.

Turkey will never bow to the EU Foreign Affairs Council sanctions and pressures declared "against Turkey's drilling activities in Eastern Mediterranean", the country's vice president said on Saturday.
Fuat Oktay's remarks came at an event to mark the 45th anniversary of Turkey's military operation launched to protect Turkish population in Cyprus.
The European Council published a final declaration Monday following a meeting of the EU's Foreign Affairs Council attended by foreign ministers of member states.
The council said in the statement that in light of Turkey's "continued and new illegal drilling activities," it would suspend civil aviation negotiations and "agree not to hold the Association Council and further meetings of the EU-Turkey high-level dialogues for the time being".
Oktay said that Turkey has always defended from the very beginning that the energy resources in the Eastern Mediterranean should be used as an opportunity for peace and stability on the island.
Stressing that Turkey would never hesitate to take the necessary steps to protect rights and interests of both Turkey and the Turkish Cypriots within their continental shelf in the Eastern Mediterranean, Oktay said: "Turkey is acting in unity as one heart and one voice on this issue."
"We have implemented all the steps that we have always strongly emphasized since the beginning and we will continue to do so," Oktay said, referring to Turkey's drilling activities in the Eastern Mediterranean.
- Ongoing dispute
Turkey has consistently contested the Greek Cypriot administration's unilateral drilling in the Eastern Mediterranean, asserting that the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) also has rights to the resources in the area.
Since this spring, Ankara has sent two drilling vessels -- Fatih and most recently Yavuz -- to the Eastern Mediterranean, asserting the right of Turkey and the TRNC to the resources of the region.
Turkey's first seismic vessel, the Barbaros Hayrettin Pasa, bought from Norway in 2013, has been conducting exploration in the Mediterranean since April 2017.
Athens and Greek Cypriots have opposed the move, threatening to arrest the ships' crews and enlisting EU leaders to join their criticism.
In 1974, following a coup aiming at Cyprus' annexation by Greece, Ankara had to intervene as a guarantor power. In 1983, the TRNC was founded.
The decades since have seen several attempts to resolve the Cyprus dispute, all ending in failure. The latest one, held with the participation of the guarantor countries -- Turkey, Greece, and the U.K. -- ended in 2017 in Switzerland.
"The Greek Cypriot side, which does not accept this, believes that they can stop our country's activities with the perception it has created by abusing its EU membership," Oktay added.
"The Greek Cypriot side did not even agree to discuss the proposal of the Turkish Cypriot side on July 13 on the basis of equality of hydrocarbon resources, including a proposal for the establishment of a joint committee and took a stand on the side of deadlocks rather than a solution," Oktay said.
- Common resources
TRNC President Mustafa Akinci, for his part, said Turkey's 1974 military operation launched to protect Turkish population in Cyprus led to a two-sided substructure based on equality and security, preventing Enosis -- the annexation of islands in favor of Greece.
Akinci pointed out that the TRNC's proposal aimed to avoid unilateral attempts, however, he said "the situation has become tense especially due to the natural gas deposits in the Eastern Mediterranean."
"Since these resources are considered to be our common wealth, we have proposed to establish a joint committee to evaluate them and decide on these issues," Akinci added.
Akinci said the Greek Cypriot side rejected the proposal and took side with a unilateral approach.
"This case did not leave us [TRNC] and Turkey any other choice than to take similar steps to balance the unilateral initiatives of the Greek Cypriot administration," Akinci said.
Later in the day, Oktay and the Turkish Cypriot Prime Minister Ersin Tatar signed an agreement on economic and financial cooperation.
Speaking during his visit to Tatar, Oktay said that Turkey has allocated some 750 million Turkish liras for the first phase as part of the agreement.
"Strengthening of the structural reforms in the TRNC is of great importance for us," Oktay said.
He added that the funds transfer, which will be done within this year, would accelerate investments and services.

Dr. Minka Hotic knew she wanted to go into dentistry after volunteering at a dental clinic in Maputo, Mozambique. She saw firsthand the impact dentistry could have on relationships and families. By the end of her time there, she knew she wanted to be a dentist.
In December of 2006, Dr. Minka graduated from Winthrop University in South Carolina with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. From there, she went on to gain her DDS at the University of North Carolina's dental school. While in school, she was awarded the Albert Schweitzer Fellowship for her project on providing dental care to children in need. Post-grad, Dr. Minka still enjoys volunteering at dental clinics and tries to visit and help out at the local Wake Smiles and NC mom clinics as often as she can. Since starting at Stanley Dentistry, Dr. Minka has found she particularly enjoys working with children and completing cosmetic dentistry procedures.
Along the way, Dr. Minka met and married her boyfriend James. They have a young son and are expecting another child.

Wonder who was buying the euphoria blow-off top stock market breakout yesterday? One clear answer, according to Nicholas Colas of DataTrek Research, is answer is "Mom and Pop". Nick looked at the publicly available trade data on Fidelity's retail website and found net buy orders across both single stocks (mostly tech) and ETFs. And, no surprise, some bitcoin names as well.
Here's what else Nick discovered.
Retail investors have lost some of their reputation for being the "Dumb money" over the last few years. After all, anyone "Dumb" enough to own the largest US listed ETF (SPY) or the biggest tech names (AAPL, GOOG, etc) has done very well for over half a decade.
Still, whenever we see a big up day for US stocks, we can't help but wonder what the retail investor is buying when stocks hit (yet another) all time high. Are they getting cautious and lightening up? And what names do they still like?
Fidelity Investments lets you see their customers' Top 10 names traded, in real time if you have an account and one day-delayed if you don't.
Here's some color on today's market action, courtesy of that information source:
- Fidelity's retail accounts were net buyers in 9 out of the top 10 names traded by their customers. The only exception: Kroger.
- Tech names held the top 4 positions in terms of total order volumes. Ranked by total activity, they were: Nvidia, Micron Technology, Apple and Amazon.
- In a not-so-surprising fifth spot: GBTC. Not familiar with that symbol? It is the Grayscale Bitcoin Investment Trust, and it trades over at OTC Markets. It was better to buy today at Fidelity by a ratio of 1.5:1. Just as notable: it trades at a 70% premium to bitcoin. See here: https://grayscale.co/bitcoin-investment-trust/#market-performance
- The balance of the top 10 names traded are predominantly tech as well: Alibaba, Square, and Facebook. Non-tech names were Kroger and Bank of America. All were better to buy except, as just mentioned, Kroger.
A few other comments from the Top 25 list, available to customers (and I assume every quant hedge fund that has a Fidelity account expressly to hoover up this information):
- There are surprisingly few ETFs. The only ones listed: UGAZ (3x Long Natural Gas), SPY and UVXY (2x the VIX). That challenges the notion that retail investors only buy ETFs – clearly there is still significant interest in single names.
- Fidelity customers don't seem to be fans of brick and mortar retailers, with a greater number of sell than buy orders today for Costco and Macy's.
The upshot: Fidelity's customer base is representative of the retail investor, and this group is certainly still a net buyer of US equities. Even on a day of all-time-highs. Call them "Dumb money" if you want… But they've been right for a long time and they seem perfectly content to "Buy the breakout" as much as "buy the dip."

This marks the third year I've been lucky enough to join forces with PowerAutomedia for video and web coverage of SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) and PRI (Performance Racing Industries) tradeshows. If you're a car geek, you know what these shows are all about. If not – essentially it's an all-you-can-eat smorgasbord of automotive awesomeness.
PowerAutomedia covers just about everything with a motor, and over the years we've done stories on everything from dynos to draglinks, turbos to torque converters, and carburetors to cupholders. Ok, not cupholders… The shows are always a great opportunity for the motorhead in me to dig in to what's new in the automotive world.
It's also a great chance to meet folks within the industry, and to hear about cool projects to promote the high-performance industry for future generations, such as this one:
The automotive world is known for big names and big personalities, and when SEMA comes to town, everyone shows up. While walking the SEMA show, it's common to see celebrities, pro drivers, and reality show stars checking out the new goodies. I was lucky to catch up with champion short-course offroad racer Casey Currey to chat about his upcoming season, and some of the parts he hopes will put him and his team on top of the podium:
All in all, I hosted over 30 videos during our SEMA and PRI coverage. You can find most of them on PowerAutomedia's YouTube channel, or dig deeper in one of their awesome publications here.

An inside look at an NWR trustee meeting: Energised & exhausted!
Last week I travelled to Birmingham to join the trustees, as an observer, for their January meeting. It was terrific! I came away mentally exhausted (as it took a while for the aging brain to engage) but greatly energised by the experience.
In addition to our four trustees there were three members of our hard working support team, covering marketing, finance and membership. The agenda was full on and it required everyone to have done their preparation. I was truly impressed by the professionalism of the group, their commitment to ensure that NWR, as an organisation, has good governance and by their determination to provide for not only the current membership but for the future ones too. Not an easy feat in this day and age of vast compliance requirements. But rest assured, NWR is in great hands - and they are all working hard on our behalf.
We all need to do 'our bit' to ensure that the organisation is in as good a position as it could possibly be: Are the meetings as good as they can be? Are the progammes current and imaginative? Do we each really do the most we can to develop and encourage new members? Something for us all to think about perhaps... The trustees and staff cannot do it all by themselves, some of it comes down to each and every one of us...

Björn Holm and Isis Hoekstra have emerged victorious at the Kona World Championship 2015, held in Brouwersdam, Netherlands.
The Swedish windsurfer secured his third title after winning four out of 12 races. Holm, traveling all the way from Stockholm, is an experienced sailor who represented his country at the 1984 Olympic Games.
"I am very happy. This is my third world champion title and by far the toughest to conquer, with the highest level of competition. I have to admit that the final result would have been different with one more day of high winds," admits Björn Holm.
Interestingly, runner-up Sil Hoekstra took six bullets, but he showed inconsistency across the remaining races. A fatal OCS cost him the world title.
A total of 58 sailors competed during the four days of racing. The entire competition got underway in demanding conditions - three out of four days had high winds of between 22 to 28 knots.
In the Women's division, it was a local windsurfer who celebrated the world title. Isis Hoekstra was the fastest Kona athlete and finished seventh in the overall rankings.

Talk:Movement Speed
Should this line still read this way?
"This benefit is cumulative with any swimming speed bonuses from your Oxygen stat, which more potently affects swimming speed."
Specifically the reference to oxygen having more effect on swimming speed. Speed increases swimming speed by 2% and Oxygen increases it now by 1.2%, if I understand correctly.

Victoria Starring
With the weather looking none too promising on Friday, we decided to plan a Saturday dive instead. This turned out to be a good move as the sea was relatively calm despite the thunderstorms the previous evening. This is not to say it was mirror smooth but we've been out in worse and it got better as the day wore on. Not that we were out there that long – Mike Dalton's friend Robin, late of Kuwait Mantas, came out with us and although he wasn't diving, he was happy to handle the boat. This gave us the luxury of going in all at once without needing two waves.
The target was the Victoria Star – being close to shore this seemed sensible in view of the uncertain weather. The viz wasn't too bad considering the recent wind and rain but the sea isn't showing much sign of warming up just yet. On descending there were some barracuda cruising around just off the wreck and a group of seven or eight batfish just behind the bridge where they seem to have found a home. There were also a couple of leopard rays, one near the bow being an impressive size. Some of the internal partitioning is now collapsing giving some larger spaces inside to explore. Caution is advised of course.
After a smooth ride home, we were sipping refreshments by the pool shortly after 2.45.
After an AGM commitment to get a Facebook page running, Cathy has done the needful and we are there under "Sharjah Wanderers Dive Club". Not being a regular user of FB I'm not sure exactly how it works but expect friend requests if you haven't already had one. Phil Ritson has already posted one of his excellent cartoons from a few years back as well as a clip of video footage from the club's 25th anniversary which would have been around 1996. Lots more to come we hope.

While out on our daily constitutional, Kamik and I headed down to the graveyard. Oddly it does not have the same sense of most burial sites. I don't find it peaceful, or creepy, or anything weird.
This day the clouds seemed to go on forever and when Environment Canada says we have a 48km visibility, one has to believe it on days like this.
