WindchILL, the brain behind The PennsylMania Music Fest, hopes to create an annual music festival that will celebrate the hip-hop scene in Harrisburg.
The rapper enlisted several of his friends for what he hopes will be the inaugural live music festival for hip-hop in the city. The show, which took place on Nov. 8 at The Abbey Bar at Appalachian Brewing Company, included rappers, DJs, singers, a live band and graffiti artists.
The show featured performances from over ten acts, including local artists from Harrisburg and Lancaster and musicians that travelled from Colorado and New York. The sets varied from 20 to 30 minutes long.
Although there was a group of attendees gathered around the stage, many people chose to sit outside and watch the graffiti artists, or gather at tables to the back of the venue while mingling and listening to the performers.
Outside, Joshua Benajmin, one of the graffiti artists on hand for the night, spent hours creating a painting that paid homage to Pennsylvania and its hip-hop culture. The state capitol and a microphone were both prominently displayed.
As the night went on, the crowd continued to grow and Shawn Jacks, aka SL of Repeat Offenders, and Zulu Queen Michele were charged with hosting the event and keeping attendees excited between sets.
Michele said she teaches hip-hop 101 in the Harrisburg school district.
She said events like these are important in order to bring awareness to the hip-hop scene that exists in Harrisburg.
"There's plenty of real emcees [in Harrisburg]," she said, "There's plenty of talented people in this area."
PennsylMania focused on promoting local artists from within the community. Singer Lei Row, who performed a medley of R&B and hip-hop hits during her set, currently works a full-time job at ITT Technical Institute as a student recruiter when she's not working on her music. Lancaster duo Voice & Barz alternated between rapping and singing and even invited another artist, Naiby, to join them on stage for a few songs during their set.
WindchILL said he hopes PennsylMania will continue to grow over the next few years so that he can incorporate more artists and further incorporate the outside element of music festivals in the future.

What inspired your award winning essay:
I had just read an essay about the complicated presence of war memorials, and it made me think about how our digital age has changed memorials and grief. Technology has seeped its way into nearly all of our social interactions, bringing even the most private moments, such as grief, into the public sphere. For me, a good essay can balance both the positive and negative aspects of a subject, moving around it in interesting ways. So that's exactly what I tried to do, using my own personal experience with my sister's passing to explore how technology has affected grief for the better and for the worse.
You were chosen to be on ProMazo's list of Most Interesting Students for a reason. Do you have any advice for other students hoping to create their own success:
I think it's easy to convince yourself that you're not smart enough, not talented enough, not anything enough to achieve your dreams. It's easy to convince yourself not to submit to a publication, not to apply for that job. My advice would be to just keep going - keep putting yourself and your work out there, and eventually, you will obtain your goal. I would never have expected my essay to make it to the final rounds of the contest, let alone be selected as the winner, but if I had never taken that chance, I wouldn't have this incredible opportunity.
Favorite quote:
"We tell ourselves stories in order to live." - Joan Didion.
Biggest role models or inspirations:
I'm incredibly inspired by nonfiction writers. It's such a vulnerable, challenging act to expose your innermost thoughts to the world. Some of my biggest role models include Joan Didion, Cheryl Strayed, James Baldwin, Jeannette Walls, and Maya Angelou.
Fun Fact:
Used to craft miniature "books" out of cardboard and construction paper as a little kid and give them as gifts.
Career path:
I am currently working as a freelance writer, applying for entry-level positions at publications, and beginning to expand the essay into a book. The greatest privilege would be to call myself a "Writer" someday and have it be true.

You hail a self-driving Lyft the exact same way you hail a normal one: Push a button and a car picks you up. In this case, it's a BMW "driven" by Aptiv's proprietary software and 365-degree sensors (a combo of lasers, cameras, radars, GPS, wireless coms and more). A female voice announces lane changes, while a video screen shows the car moving through its environment in real time: Cars and pedestrians appear as blue ghosts. (There's also a human in the driver's seat, just in case.)
Despite Tuesday's rain, CES' Lyft-Aptiv demo rides were so popular, people were waiting outside for nearly an hour to try one. Was it worth the wait? Kind of. The tech is already so smooth, the ride didn't feel different than any other. I had to keep peeking at the front seat to remind myself that, yes, the human's hands weren't touching the wheel.
Driving home in the old Honda Civic, I was suddenly aware of my own human fallibility. I am but a mere mortal who gets tired, frustrated and distracted while driving. I have so many blind spots, while the computer is infinitely patient, ever alert and practically omniscient. Aptiv won't be ready to scale production until next year. For me, that can't come soon enough. Bring on our computer overlords before we all die in fiery crashes!

Poor condition of UK's military bases is putting defence capability at risk, NAO report warns
Two new aircraft carriers may be rendered useless because the military base where they will dock next year is badly out of date, a new report has found.
The Ministry of Defence is facing an £8.5billion black hole in funding over the next 30 years because it has failed to invest enough money in the estate and vast repair works are now required urgently.
Some bases and training sites are falling into such disrepair that they may be shut down altogether, affecting military capability.
Power cables at the Portsmouth base which will supply the two new £6.2billion carriers are over 80 years old and need replacing but there is no money to upgrade them, the National Audit Office warned.
Elsewhere army vehicles are not being properly maintained at the Ashchurch base and the fuel supply at the RAF's main site for air to air refueling had to be shut because of major safety concerns due to poor maintenance.
A contract with a private sector consortium led by Capita to manage the estate has failed to deliver the expected "transformation" in the way it was run, the NAO said, despite the group receiving £90 million in funding from the taxpayer.
The report found "fundamental weaknesses" in the contracting process and that Capita had not "performed adequately against agreed key performance indicators" despite Ministers being aware of previous concerns about the business partner before it signed the deal.
Poor family accommodation is also costing the Government thousands of pounds to upgrade and the state of many of the homes has had a damaging effect on morale and troop retention, the report said.
It states: "There is a significant risk that the poor condition of the estate will affect the department's ability to provide the defence capability needed.
"The estate is an important element of defence capability, enabling the Armed Forces to train and undertake operations, and providing accommodation for personnel and their families.
"The Department's inability to invest sufficient funds may jeopardise the delivery of new and existing capabilities.
"As the estate's condition deteriorates, some parts may wholly or partially close. This will exacerbate other risks and could reduce operational readiness."
The Ministry of Defence has vowed to reduce the size of the estate by 30 per cent by 2040 by selling off land it no longer needs.
Much of the estate will be used to build new homes to meet other Government targets, with 55,000 promised under current plans.
But a decision to provide only essential maintenance since 2009 has resulted in a "steady decline" of military facilities which has had damaging effects on some locations, including a medical centre at RAF Valley which has had to be demolished because a leaking roof was not fixed due to lack of funding.
In another case the NAO found that the Ministry of Defence is paying £14,00 on average to a private company, Annington Homes, as part of a deal to return houses it rents to service families in an adequate condition.
Ministers failed to secure value for money because the Government does not benefit from the rise in house prices and has to pay high rental costs to the company as part of the deal.
Homes rented to service personnel and their families are often in poor condition and this affects retention of staff, it added.
Liberal Democrat shadow Defence minister Judith Jolly said: "Our troops are dealing with the chronic under-investment in defence infrastructure and vital facilities like forces housing.
"They have threatened to turn the new aircraft carriers worth £6 billion into white elephants due their incompetence.
"The condition of much of the Department's estate is poor and deteriorating. How can we, in 2016, be in a situation that we might have to close buildings and facilities because they are falling apart.
"How can we expect the best soldiers in the world to live and work like this? It's unacceptable and it is high time the government stop looking the other way and properly invest in our troops and defence of the realm."

It's been a few days now, but it has been a difficult thing to get past. Oh, in the scheme of –well, almost anything, I suppose –it's way low on the trauma meter….but still…I must share….
I'm sitting here, this very moment, with some toast, spread with Nutella. They always say, "Get right back on the horse," don't they??
I was introduced to Nutella back in 1988. (Thanks, Rene!) And it is one of the true wonders of the culinary world. But I digress.
Toast. Nutella. It's the only way I can move forward.
This is what happened.
On Saturday last, I was craving a munchie. Nothing over-large, as I was saving room in my tummy for the tasty treats at the Greek Festival that night. (A sad aside…they ran out of Baklava while I was stuffing my face on Mousaka and Spanikopita…)
I wandered into the kitchen and I spied one sad croissant, lost and alone in its big plastic home. I decided to rescue it.
Popping it in the microwave for 10 seconds, I was about to open the fridge for butter, but I recalled the Nutella sitting in the cabinet next to the window. I grabbed a butter knife, swiped the jar off the shelf and removed my just warmed croissant. I opened the jar, and was very quick and generous with the slathering of Nutella. I plopped the knife in the sink, and looked down at my treat.
I spotted one of those infernal little ants that seem to like to wander around my sink at various times of the year. I never find them around crumbs, cat food, or any other left out foods; they just drive me nuts with their marching lines from outside to wander around the stainless steel sink, and I am guessing, back outside again.
One year, they had an army marching from the outside, and into the den, around the computer desk and back off to places far distant. Annoying, yes. But there has been no infiltration of late, and I have a clean, white window ledge, free of any marching armies.
I picked him up, and flushed him down the drain. And then, the trauma. The jar lid, still lying open on my counter, was crawling with the little buggers.
Glancing at the croissant, I saw they were all over it, too. I peeked into the Nutella and there were a few more walking around inside the jar!
Quelle horreur! Tossing the croissant, the Nutella, and the lid all into the garbage, I cautiously opened the cabinet again, and looked onto the second shelf. The ants were milling about aimlessly, their destination of nirvana stolen away. I spied more walking along the honey jar. Garbage.
Everything out of the cabinets, washed down and sprayed. They seemed to have found a way to walk up the ledge and along the dark grout lines I have painted, and they have been coming in small numbers, and once they found their heaven, they weren't leaving. (They have good taste.)
But this could affect my diet! How can one live without being able to eat Nutella?? So, I have purchased a new jar, and toasted myself a slice of bread, and I am going to learn to get over the sight…bite by delicious bite.
Nutella is worth the effort. (Although I think the days of grabbing a spoon and the jar in the dark are 100% OVER)

A young Bulgarian woman is fighting for her life after suffering severe injuries when she was hit by a car while crossing a road in Larnaca on Tuesday, police said.
The accident happened on Artemis Avenue at 8am. The 24-year-old woman is a premanent resident.
"A car being driven by a 48-year-old woman, under circumstances that are being investigated by the police, hit and injured the 24-year-old who was crossing the road on foot," police said.
The woman was taken by ambulance to Larnaca hospital and her condition is described critical.
A breathalyser test carried out on the driver came back with a zero reading.
Eyewitnesses told police that the woman was using a pelican crossing whose lights appeared to be out of order. The 24-year-old ended up on the traffic island in the middle of the road.
Witnesses also said the car which hit the woman was forced into the oncoming lane as another vehicle was parked in the left lane.

Sprint spilled the beans and Palm confirmed it – there is a new Palm smartphone hitting the Sprint network this fall. The Palm Centro will be targeted at the youth market and it will be the smallest Palm smartphone to date. It will run Palm OS Garnet, basically the same software as the 755p today, and have a 320×320 screen that is physically smaller than today's Treos. It will run on CDMA/EV-DO for Sprint (and possibly Verizon and other networks as well), no word on a GSM model. Sprint will reportedly have a 90-day exclusive, and it may be offered for as low as $99 with a plan.
No official pictures have been released of the new phone – though a lot of sites are posting with previously leaked pictures that have been attributed as the 'Gandolf' or the Treo 800. Gearlog was there and reports that the photos Engadget is running are "roughly correct".
Gearlog, Engadget, Palm Infocenter, Treonauts, Gizmodo, CNET, and The Register all have reports.

The Assetto Corsa Ready to Race DLC's out (apparently it actually came out Thursday)... and I've only driven the TS040 and the R18, and I love it.
I mean, I bought Project CARS mostly to get LMP1s (which AC didn't have at the time), and the TS040 in that was hilarious but also difficult to drive. AC actually does a decent job of emulating hybrids, though, so the TS040 is amazing in it.
That is all.

Most people in this world are searching for happiness. It's what we've been told to achieve ever since we were born. Everyone wants to be happy. But this concept of "happy" can get lost in interpretation. What really makes a person happy? Is it this typical image of successful, wealthy and good-looking? Or is there more to it than that? Can we buy happiness or does it come from within?
While what truly makes a person happy varies with the individual, researchers have found that experiences make people happier almost all the time in comparison to possessions. This is for a variety of reasons
The main reason experiences make people happier than material things is because the happiness from an experience lasts longer. You'll never forget that amazing time you and your friends stayed up until 3 am talking and eating pizza, but you'll quickly become tired of that trendy sweater. The initial bliss that comes with that most recent purchase is more likely to fade than a memory. A study done by Ryan Howell, a professor of psychology at San Francisco State University, questioned 154 students about a purchase they made within the past 3 months. The purchase could be a possession or an experience. Overwhelmingly, the people that discussed an experiential purchase showed higher rates and longer-lasting rates of contentment. Happiness that derives from an experience will only increase with time while happiness from a possession will flee as material things quickly become obsolete. Also, a lot of happiness in a "thing" comes from anticipation and not the actual thing. Sometimes, the happiness never quite "arrives" where as with an experience, it always does and you can always look back fondly. According to journalist James Hamblin, even if its a bad experience, it might make a funny story!
According to Howell, another reason that experiences generate more sustainable joy than possessions is because they involve other people and human connection is a major root of internal delight. Getting closer with other people has proven to make a person happier. Also, experiences increase a sense of feeling alive and exhilarated. This feeling is never going to come from a new pair of shoes or new phone, but it definitely will from a concert or trip to a different country.
My mom always said that comparison is the root of all unhappiness and all signs point to this being true. Cornell psychology professor Thomas Gilovich's research suggests that people aren't as likely to compare the joy of their experiences whereas people tend to compare the value of their possessions often. In one study, psychology professor Daniel Gilbert asked a group of people (the ages and number of participants in unknown- not giving total credibility to this study) if they would rather have a high salary that is lower than their coworkers or a low salary that is higher than that of their coworkers. The answers were pretty much half and half. But when the same participants were asked if they would rather have two vacations weeks while their coworkers only get one, or four vacation weeks while their coworkers get eight, the overwhelming majority of participants chose the latter. This shows that most people don't feel the need to compete and compare experiences but often people compare possessions.
Happiness varies from person to person but these studies suggest the next time you're between using that next paycheck to go out with friends or buy that new shirt, go with your friends. You'll be happier in the long run.

Held in the Valley's secondary school and further education centre, the Festival managed to attract an impressive number of local authors and poets as guests, along with some fifty or so attendees.
The day began with a guest introductions/Q&A panel in the main hall. Led by the splendid Berlie Doherty, we learned a little about the panelists and the sessions they would be leading over the course of the day. At this point I had a slight change of plan as to which session I wanted to attend first, although I suspect I would have enjoyed all of them, had I been able to be in multiple places at once. After that we had half an hour to sign up for our preferred sessions in each of the day's three slots, and grab a welcome cup of coffee (laid on in the dining room along with very tempting biscuits).
My first session, held in the college library where library copies of the authors' books were proudly displayed was a chat and readings with Simon Beckett. Not an author I was aware of before, but I now have a copy of the first book in his current series, which I'm looking forward to reading. Simon told us about his career, how he wrote his first published story (now out of print) written (after much pestering of Barry Hines, the author of Kes, the decline of popularity of his subsequent books and his eventual assignment as a freelance journalist to the Body Farm in Tennessee.
That visit led to a renewed interest in writing novels, and so a new (more popular) series was born. Set in the UK initially, the protagonist doesn't actually visit the Body Farm until trhe third novel. I had to ask if it was a relief to finally get to that point, and then move on beyond it, as with certain other authors I could mention who need to get pesky historical fats dealt with in their series in order to get the meaty business of made-up events back on track.
Immediately after that one hour session, we had a shorter session to lead us into the lunch hour. I picked the session on writing groups, and as we were informed that this was a non-structured session, managed to get a discussion going on how to encourage more critique within my own group. This then led to a lot of comparing and contrasting of how other groups are run, and I ended the session with a multitude of ideas to suggest over dinner with my group next month.
Lunch was well worth the extra fiver we were charged. Homemade soup and freshly baked rolls in the college's main dining hall, with plenty of time to chat as well as to browse the books laid out in the main hall. I also got to chat with Stephen Booth, whose panel I would have gone to had it not clashed with others.
After the lunch break we had another one hour to hour and a half session. This time I'd known from the start which I wanted to attend, and hadn't been tempted away by any of the others on offer. I went to Alan James Brown's workshop on Reading and Writing Picture Books, although we focused mainly on writing, in line with the interests of the majority of participants. At the end of the session, we had the opportunity to write our own picture book narrative. Mine is posted here, and I also got to read it aloud during the session.
In the main hall, the festival was coming to a close with entertainment from a local story teller. At the end of his set we had the drawing of the raffle (with our feedback forms as tickets) and I managed to get a few more of my new books signed.
All in all a thoroughly enjoyable day out, and one which seemed to attract a very good mix of readers as well as writers.

A simple method for extracting and measuring ovarian steroids in feces is applied to the ovarian cycle, pregnancy, parturition, and period of lactational amenorrhea in Pithecia pithecia. Small amounts of wet, unmixed feces were combined with a modified phosphate buffer, shaken, centrifuged, and decanted, and the supernatant was directly measured for estrogen and progesterone metabolites by enzyme immunoassays. Urinary estrogen and progesterone metabolite measurements were compared to paired fecal measurements to determine the degree to which fecal hormone levels detected the same ovarian events as urinary measurements. The correlation coefficients for the relationship between urinary and fecal hormones for individual animals studied (n = 5) were found to be statistically significant in every case except one sexually immature animal. The application of the method presented here demonstrates that simple solubilization and non‐radiometric measurement of ovarian steroids excreted in feces reliably reflect reproductive events in Pithecia pithecia. © 1994 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

A father and a son lived separately for several years. The son saved up some money. The father was old and sick. He could not make money, so he became a beggar.
One day, the father went past his son's house. An acquaintance pointed to the father and said to the son: "This man must not be your father, else how can you not care for him?" The son said: "I am his son. It is good enough that I no longer need him to prepare my food. How should I provide him his own meal?"
Doctor Shi commented: "Although there is no one as cruel as the son in the story, there are many who do not respect their elderly even though they provide food for them."
About Good Laughs
Good Laughs (笑得好) is a collection of short stories edited by Chinese doctor Cheng-Jin Shi (石成金) of the Qing dynasty (1636-1912). This collection can be considered as the Chinese version of Aesop's Fables. Doctor Shi was believed to have lived between the Kangxi and early Qianlong reigns. He also authored books on remedies for life and health.
Good Laughs meant to nourish a good heart with stories. In the preface, Doctor Shi wrote: "People entertain by being sarcastic, I inspire people with sarcasm. It entertains the heart, but also saves a life like acupuncture."

Making the Connection Between Good Nutrition and Good Health —
Reflecting Alameda Health System's deep commitment to the community, its Health Excellence and Academic Leadership Program (HEAL) exposes middle and high school students to careers in healthcare. The Program collaborates with more than 15 East Bay schools to reach at-risk youth from low-income neighborhoods. Youth participate in a variety of internship and mentoring experiences featuring hands-on learning and supervised direct patient care in a range of clinical settings at Highland Hospital and Eastmont Wellness Center. Since 1991, HEAL has provided more than 1,000 paid internships and served more than 6,000 youth.
While its focus is on health careers exploration, HEAL goes far beyond this by offering academic support, including tutoring and guidance with the college application process, and youth leadership development seminars.
Recognizing that the health of the community begins with each individual, HEAL also provides life coaching and wellness support—a component that distinguishes it from other pipeline programs. Through workshops on life skills, positive relationships, health and wellness, HEAL encourages youth to lead productive, healthy lives, and to serve as role models for others.
While HEAL models good health habits by providing nutritious snacks and having a strict "no soda, no chips, no candy" policy, a recent evaluation revealed that this isn't enough to impact participants' eating habits. The missing link was involvement of parents in reinforcing these messages and making healthy food available at home.
So, Andria Batise, long-time Youth Coordinator with HEAL and now Interim Manager, designed a series of wellness workshops to bring parents and youth participants together in a shared learning experience. To make her vision a reality, Andria turned to the AHS Foundation, which secured a grant from The California Wellness Foundation to fund the workshop series.
Drawing on Highland's successful childhood obesity prevention program, Bite-to-Balance, the workshops will feature discussions of the essential connection between good nutrition and good health, and how to prepare healthy meals within time and resource constraints. At each session, participating families will receive a free grocery bag full of locally-grown produce and will learn how to make appealing, culturally-appropriate meals using the contents.

Widespread ageism in alcohol treatment preventing UK over 50s getting help
Posted 20.11.2017
- Three out of four residential rehab services in England exclude older people
- "Older adults with alcohol problems among most vulnerable in society"
- ONS figures show 45% rise in alcohol-specific deaths in UK 50+ since 2001
A new report being launched at the House of Lords on November 21 has found that ageism and age discrimination in alcohol policy, practice and research is denying older people the treatment they need to recover from harmful drinking.
The report for Drink Wise, Age Well asserts that some policies and practices are actually in breach of Equality and Human Rights legislation and calls on UK governments to develop alcohol strategies that recognise that older adults' needs may be different to those of younger people.
Higher risk drinking is declining in the UK except among people who are age 50 and over and with an ageing population the trend is of major concern, not least to the World Health Organisation (WHO) which has set a target of at least 10% relative reduction in harmful use of alcohol by 2025.
Recent ONS figures further underline the urgency of the situation. 'ONS Alcohol-specific deaths in the UK: registered in 2016' show a 45% increase in alcohol-specific deaths in the over 50s in the past 15 years (2001 – 2016).
The new report, however, states that ""Ageist policies can be identified easily and abolished in a relatively short period… with very little impact on resources".
'Calling Time – Addressing ageism and age discrimination in alcohol policy, practice and research' was authored by the Substance Misuse and Ageing Research Team at the University of Bedfordshire, Addaction and the International Longevity Centre-UK (ILC-UK) based on extensive review of UK strategies, policies and legislation, published literature and data on clinical trials, as well as a polling of professional opinion and focus groups with problematic drinkers.
Its main findings include:
- Practitioners discriminating against older adults including managing issues relating to alcohol use (e.g. vitamin injections) rather than referring them for alcohol treatment and young adults being prioritised over older people;
- Some of the reasons given are perceptions that older people are too old to change and that it's not worth intervening because of life expectancy. There is also a sense that the care needs of older people are too complex for treatment;
- A study for Alcohol Research UK featured in the report found that "three out of four residential alcohol rehab services in England exclude older people based on arbitrary age limit";
- The Equality Act 2010 states that "services must provide equal services regardless of age or disability". It is therefore unlawful for services "to provide inferior services, or refuse to provide services because of a person's age, unless there is a good or sufficient reason";
- Adults over the age of 65 are excluded from 46% of clinical trials for alcohol treatment/interventions.
Writing in the report foreword Baroness Hayter who is a member of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Alcohol Harm said, "Contrary to popular belief, harmful drinking is not the preserve of the young. In fact, many young people have followed advice and favour the gym or sports field over the pub and have been brought up never to drink and drive. Indeed, the only age group in the UK where drinking has increased is the 65-74 year-old. So our consideration – and prevention – of problem drinking has to turn to the retired, or those who'll approach it over the coming years.
"Drink Wise Age Well has drawn up guidance and recommendations for a swathe of organisations and professions, providing a vital tool in promoting health, happiness and a productive retirement for a growing generation."
Key recommendations include:
- Remove arbitrary age limits for alcohol services;
- UK governments should develop alcohol strategies which incorporate age as a cross-cutting theme and explicitly recognise that older adults' needs may be different from those of younger adults;
- Following the example of the Welsh Government, convene an advisory panel to develop substance misuse guidance focused specifically on older adults;
- Inform alcohol services of their legal obligation to provide equitable care and take action if services are consistently discriminating against older adults;
- Ensure decisions on whether or not to refer someone to rehab is made on ability to benefit. Age alone should not be a barrier to referral;
- Ensure older adults are included in clinical trials and research studies unless there is good justification for not doing so.
Julie Breslin, Head of Drink Wise, Age Well said, "Changing lifestyles and the older demographic means for the first time in recent history older people in the UK drink more and are more likely to exceed recommended guidelines than other age groups, but help and support has not yet caught up. Older people are being written off – sometimes unlawfully – and we believe this report has the potential to change that."
Supporting quotes
Caroline Phipps, Chief Executive of Drugaid said: "I am delighted that Wales has been recognised as leading the way in the UK in addressing the needs of older adults in our alcohol strategies and policies. But there is still a long way to go and this report provides a road map to fairer treatment for older people who have alcohol problems."
Thelma Abernethy, Director Addiction NI said: "The most noticeable increase in alcohol consumption in recent years in NI has been among those aged 60-75, this is at a time in life of potential increased health issues, medication and our body processing alcohol in a different way to when they were younger. There is an important piece of work to be done in educating this age group of the impact of alcohol as they age, so that they can make informed choice. Alcohol awareness is everyone's business and we need to increase knowledge and upskill people working in a paid or voluntary capacity with the over 50s about the true impact of alcohol as they age, so that they can start to have those earlier conversations with the over 50s to help them make informed choice about their usage."
Dr Richard Piper, CEO of Alcohol Research UK and Alcohol Concern, said: "Harmful drinking among the over 50s is on the rise and the way we tackle it requires an urgent response. This report, together with our research report on age discrimination within residential rehabilitation services, shows very clearly that concerted action is needed to ensure that those drinking at harmful levels can access the support they need. We urge policy-makers and practitioners to implement the recommendations in these reports fully and without delay to save lives and to improve outcomes for drinkers and their families."

Jesse Hamby, a sophomore Aviation major, knows what it takes to go through the PASS program. It gave him skills he says have now become like second nature to him. For example, he still uses the study tables for a quiet place to work on assignments and always schedules time after class each day to get the work he needs to do done right away.
Jesse had a very academically successful freshman year, in part thanks to the services offered by the Holamn Success Center. In combination with the effort and hard work he was willing to put in, Jesse made it through the year never receiving a grade below an "A." This was not his only accomplishment to boast of; he logged far and away the most study table hours of any single student last year. Coincidence? I think not…
As an aviation technology student, Jesse has to deal with a lot of math, and that can add up to trouble in a hurry if you are not prepared to get a handle on the concepts. Fortunately, this time management skill is what Jesse really started to pick up using several of the services of the HSC.
When he first applied to the University and was accepted, he was also informed about the new PASS program. Intrigued by the thought, he said sure, it can't hurt, and signed up for it. What he found out was that the Promoting Academic Skills and Success Program (PASS) is a first-year, academic support program designed to benefit students during their transition from high school to college. Students are recommended for admission and acceptance to Eastern Michigan University is contingent based on the student's documented agreement to participate with the PASS Program.
PASS provides students with strategic course scheduling, free academic workshops, training in study skills, academic monitoring, and individualized instruction and advising assistance. Any incoming first year student can participate in the PASS Program. The majority of students that participate in PASS successfully move on to their sophomore year at Eastern Michigan University.
The biggest help that Jesse got from PASS was vital time management skills. Scheduled study hours were something he had never done or needed to do in High School. He had always just studied at school. College was a whole new experience. However, it was one where there was much more to study and less time to do it in. Now with PASS he would get home and have to study for hour everyday, a habit that still makes him successful into his second year at Eastern. He said it was very important to set aside a time free of distractions. That is a major key to success.
"The big advantage of working with Holman is that they can help to set up a pattern and routine. You don't have to do it on your own. Plus, there are always tutors and experts around so they can get you into contact with them if you did have problems." While in PASS, Jesse needed to fulfill 10 hours each and every week at the study tables, something that was difficult at first, but very very valuable. Jesse explains, "It is extremely helpful, managing time wisely, priorities to accomplish on papers and test. Great for setting out long term goals. From this week for this class to larger cross semester."
And it isn't all time skills, Jesse said , "I've also learned social skills, talk to people forced to. I'm less timid about asking others for help. That also paid off in the long run for sure."
Over all the experience Jesse had is what many say about the HSC. Jesse was especially thankful for the skills he picked up in subjects that were not his strong suit. While he was always good at math, before Holman, he had never earned an "a" in an English class before.
Jesse had some advice for others thinking about using some of the services HSC offers, "It may feel time consuming, but worth it. Every minute was worth it. Great way to eliminate distractions, a valuable skill and place to have. At this rate, they'll need to add on to building because there are so many people using so many services. I can't wait to see what else they have in store."

Running has been part of my life ever since I was a child. When my brother and I were small, we chased each other round the neighborhood and never got tired. In elementary school, I loved to run and usually did well on Sports Days. I was proud of my speed and was always able to outrun the bullies who tried to catch me!
In high school, I found a great role model — "Kip" Keino, a Kenyan track and field champion. Keino won gold medals at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico and the 1972 Olympics in Germany. His real name was Kipchoge but everyone called him Kip — just like me!
I continued my running career at college. Each year, our university organized a relay race from downtown to our campus. Over 70 teams took part. One year, our team finished in seventh place!
Once I became a teacher, my lifestyle changed drastically. Instead of running free outdoors, I spent my time standing in classrooms, sitting in meetings and staring at computer screens.
When I first arrived in Japan, a friend invited me to join a local 5-kilometer "marathon." My wife and I decided to give it a try. About 100 people took part.
When the starting pistol fired, everyone dashed off and was soon out of sight. My wife, my friend and I began at a slow jog but my friend soon pulled ahead. I spent another few minutes with my wife, then kicked into high gear. Soon, I was racing at a brisk pace and began passing one person, then another and another.
I continued to pass runner after runner until I saw the goal up ahead. Almost there! When I passed the finish line, an official handed me my result. The card said "18." Amazing! I'd finished in the top 20! I was so proud of myself. I couldn't wait to tell everyone that I was the 18th-fastest runner.
My joy turned to shock when my friend pointed out one little fact. I was holding my card upside down! The result wasn't 18. It was 81!
At first, I couldn't believe it. How could I have finished in 81st place? What about all the runners I'd passed? However, I couldn't deny the facts. Because of my slow start, I began way behind most of the other runners. Even though I ran fast, I only passed about 20 people. The rest was basic math: 100 - 20 = 80. I was so disappointed!
Like my hero Kip Keino, I'm now retired as a long distance runner. Keino lives in Kenya, runs a charity for orphans and is president of the country's Olympic committee. I spend my time on teaching, writing and research. Although my racing days are over, I enjoy jogging and still dream of glory as a marathon runner!

States Open Spring Chinook Fishing
by Staff
The Idaho Fish and Game Commission Tuesday (April 30) approved a spring chinook salmon fishing season to start Saturday (May 4) on parts of the Clearwater, Salmon and Snake rivers.
Fish counts from Bonneville Dam suggest that the 2013 return of chinook salmon to Idaho may be significantly lower than forecast but large enough to support fisheries, according to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game. Projected returns for the Clearwater River are farther below forecast levels than returns to the Salmon and Snake rivers.
Through Thursday a total of 556 adult spring chinook salmon had been counted passing over fish ladders at the lower Snake River's Lower Granite Dam, the eighth hydro project the fish pass on their way up the Columbia and Snake. The dam in southeast Washington is the last salmon encounter on their way to Idaho and tributaries in northeast Oregon. The lower Columbia's Bonneville Dam is the lowermost hydro project on the mainstem.
Last year's total count through May 2 was only 93 while the final spring chinook count was 66,366.
Fish and Game tailored the 2013 fisheries proposals to meet hatchery broodstock needs, focus fishing efforts in areas where hatchery fish are most abundant, and still allow fishing in river reaches that anglers have grown accustomed to fishing in recent years.
The proposal for the Clearwater River approved by the commission achieves these goals by limiting fishing to four days per week and reducing the length of river open to fishing in each of the recently fished sections. The Clearwater feeds into the Snake along the Idaho-Oregon border.
Only the Lochsa River is closed entirely to fishing.
Salmon returns to the Salmon and Snake rivers do not appear to be as far below forecast levels as those to the Clearwater. Fisheries in the Lower Salmon, Little Salmon and Snake rivers are similar to fisheries in recent years. These areas will be open seven days a week, and river sections recently fished will not be shortened - except the Shorts Bar to Vinegar Creek stretch of the lower Salmon River, which is closed.
Also, The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife will open the upper Snake River for spring chinook fishing on Saturday, May 4 under the following regulations:
"We are anticipating a much smaller harvest quota this year" said Jeff Yanke, ODFW district fish biologist in Enterprise. "Anglers should be prepared for sudden changes, including a closure."
Season changes and closures announcements will be posted on the ODFW website and released through local news outlets.
In local tributaries, Oregon fishery managers plan to open the Imnaha River, but not the Wallowa, for chinook salmon this year. Managers are expecting an especially low return to the Wallowa River this year, with not enough hatchery fish to sustain a fishery, Yanke said.
"Our forecasts indicate an adequate return to the Imnaha, but the decision to open the fishery entirely depends on what we see crossing the lower Columbia dams", Yanke said. Fishery managers track salmon returns using PIT-tags that are implanted in juvenile salmon before they migrate to the ocean.
Chinook salmon that return to the Imnaha River typically migrate much later than other salmon stocks in northeast Oregon, and Yanke predicts it will be another month before fisheries are decided.
"We will be tracking the returns very carefully," he said. "Whenever we can responsibly offer these great fishing opportunities, we want to do so."

Alvin and Cassandra.. what can I say about this couple. Full of energy, spontaneous emotions, and non stop laughter that sprung up in any conversations that they have with anyone. They had an "internal affair" with their really close friends and family members, a celebration of their marriage over luncheon here at Troika Sky Dining. It was our first time shooting an event here and we found that why wasn't we here before. You can basically shoot at any corner and it has a kinfolk vibe to it.
OKay, back to our main subject, Alvin and Cassandra. Here are some lovely photos which we would like to share here from the story of Alvin & Cassandra, 🙂
Here's to wish double celebration to both Alvin & Cassandra cause Cassandra is actually pregnant on that day of the shoot and we will be also covering their pick up the bride ceremony later this month! Stay tune for more of them both! 😀

The much-beloved organizer of Skitchin' Fest and publisher of Skitchin' Music Zine is preparing for his third Grand Rapids punk festival that takes place over two days this weekend at The Pyramid Scheme.
Support our coverage of
West Michigan's music scene
Punk music seems to balance on a unique juxtaposition: brimming with attitude and angst, while at the same time fostering a community of like-minded, passionate individuals who look out for each other.
At least that's the vision that Tyler Dykema has for his annual Skitchin' Fest and his DIY music publication, Skitchin' Music Zine.
"I think it's important for a lot of reasons. It represents everything I love most about our music scene and our city in general and rejects all the negative aspects of both.
"It's meant to be this pure, heartfelt, all-accessible place for music fans of all kinds to come and experience the community at its happiest and most conscious," says the much-beloved Dykema, who runs both Skitchin' Fest and the Skitchin' Music Zine.
"In that room, everyone's agenda should be the same and it's simple – to have fun, to celebrate each other and to be safe while doing so. For many of the bands and even the people just attending, they're looking for something to belong to and I want them to know that if they want to be a part of this then they already are. I think and hope that it shows that punk rock can still be a party without being exclusionary. It's 2019."
This year, Skitchin' Fest returns for its third incarnation, this time taking place Saturday and Sunday at The Pyramid Scheme in Grand Rapids and evoking the spirit of punk music in an inclusive, communal fashion. Performers at Skitchin' Fest 3.0 will include FLUSHED, Alien Dogs, Blind Adam & The Federal League, Turnspit, Flushed, Rendered Worthless, 78 Revolutions Per Minute & Pancho Villa's Skull, Distants and Ugly Flannel.
Dykema started the Skitchin' Zine in 2016 to highlight local music and art, specifically the DIY punk scene. He conducts interviews and writes articles, and with the help of some friends, publishes the zine with no particular schedule.
The publications include show dates and visual art from local artists. The Skitchin' Zine is available at Vertigo Music and can also be ordered by Facebook or email.
"It's really a diverse punk scene. There's so many different styles of music that fall under the punk umbrella, so you're getting something different at every show. It gets bigger and bigger always," he says.
"There's always something to do. I don't know if I could have said that about Grand Rapids when I was younger."
One thing Dykema is especially passionate about is making sure the shows he hosts are accessible for those with physical disabilities. Dykema has spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a genetic disease that affects the muscles, requiring him to use a powered chair for mobility.
"It's a big part of who I am, my disability. But not in a negative way," Dykema says, noting Skitchin' Fest is 100 percent wheelchair-accessible.
"I wanna use that to make sure that even people with disabilities are able to go to shows and feel comfortable at shows. And that's a big thing that I promote in the zine and at Skitchin' Fest, too. We have other disabled people attend the festival every day, not just me."
Dykema's impact on Grand Rapids' punk scene and the community at large has been wide-ranging, as musicians will attest.
"Tyler is an amazing human and cares about his community and friends more then anything," says Rob Bruce, of the punk bands 78 Revolutions Per Minute and Murder Party, as well as solo act Thomas Gun.
"He uses his voice to spread an awakening message of accessibility that we all desperately need to be paying attention to."
Don Carlisle of punk's Bet on Rats and manager of Knavish Audio cites Dykema's selflessness. "He uses his platform and his clout to lift up others and make our world a better place for the people who really need it," he says. "And even though he's doing big things, he still has the time to lift up others. He exists at the heart of what it means to be radical and righteous."
Proceeds from merchandise sales at Skitchin' Fest will be donated to Laughing At My Nightmare, an organization that helps children with muscular dystrophy improve their quality of life. Tickets are $8 in advance and can be purchased at The Pyramid Scheme or online at ticketweb.com. Doors open at 7 p.m. Day-of-show tickets are $10.
Dykema says attendees can expect "a friendly environment where your perspective and input is encouraged."
Changes for the festival this year include a shift from three days to two, access for all ages, and the move from Tip Top Deluxe Bar & Grill to The Pyramid Scheme. The event is sponsored by Party On Printing, a Wyoming print shop.
In addition to a few issues of the Skitchin' Zine back catalog, there will be a new art zine available along with a new compilation album featuring bands tied to Skitchin' Fest. The zine will be available courtesy of Put Out Your Own Records, and fans can expect giveaways, including vinyl records.
"Truthfully I let this thing ride and let It take me where it goes. I'd like to keep doing what I'm doing with it, two or three issues a year and want to make the fest happen every year," Dykema says.
"I want to make sure the focus is always on the local and Michigan artist. But also, it'd be very cool to get a national headliner at some point, just to kind of attach some of the bands around here with a big thing and promote them even further."
LOCAL SPINS TICKET GIVEAWAY: The first person to email firstname.lastname@example.com with "SKITCHIN" in the message field will win a pair of tickets to Skitchin' Fest. Check The Big List Concert Guide every week for your chance to win concert tickets.

After being in business for a few years, you get many questions about how your business operates and even more questions about how we help our clients achieve their goals. Below, we have compiled a list of our most popular questions and their answers, to better help our clients better get a feel for how photography (for us) works and how it works for them!
Where is Brianna Wolfe Photography located?
While we do not have a designated studio location, we are located in the heart of the Lowcountry, with our home based in Ladson. We travel to a multitude of locations, attractions, historical landmarks, and breathtakingly beautiful places that represent the Charleston culture to cater to your photography needs. Also, we love to travel! Please inquire about travel rates.
How do portrait sessions and fees work?
Portrait session fees are set depending on the type and sometimes the length of session. Some sessions are flat rate fees, while more customized sessions would need to be discussed so a fee could be set.
Sessions are set up after the initial consultation where we will build you a custom session to match your vision. Once portraits are taken, there is a two week turnaround time for editing, and then we meet again so you and your family can view your gallery in person. At the ordering session you will be able to purchase products and turn your memories into art!
What happens at a consultation appointment? Is there a charge for consultations?
Consultations are completely free! We always meet up with our clients to get to know them. While we may also hold initial consultations on the phone, we often prefer to meet in person to get more of a feel to what our clients are specifically looking for in their portrait session. We go over your vision for what you want, how you foresee your portrait looking, what you want to do with your portraits once they are taken and edited, how you want to style them, and so much more! We ask lots of questions and really get to know YOU and what YOUR vision is so we can do our best to make it happen. We want your portrait day to be perfect, down to the very last detail, and are happy to plan it all out for you.
Do you use an assistant or second shooter?
Absolutely! I often have an assistant and/or second shooter for certain events. My assistant is an in-training photographer that assists with props, posing, and generally making you as a client feel comfortable. See my ABOUT page to learn more about my current assistant, Dakota. We are always looking to add to our team, so stay tuned for more info about new members!
Do you deliver every image you shoot?
No. We eliminate duplicate images, test shots, missed focused shots, images with bad expressions and other images that may dilute the overall product delivery. This guarantees you will receive the best work every time. Your gallery will have edited, styled, and hand-chosen images for you to choose from when placing your order. Depending on the length and style of your session, we will set the expectation for a gallery of a specified number of portraits at the time of your consultation.
Do you provide digital images?
Yes! However, my primary goal is to help you achieve beautiful, custom artwork that can be enjoyed every single day in the form of tangible products such as canvases, albums, and prints. Low resolution, non watermarked images are provided with each order purchase. For example, if an album were ordered, every image used in the album would also be provided in a low resolution format that is perfect for social media sharing. High resolution galleries are also offered for an additional fee with a print release, in case you choose to print elsewhere. It is important to note that products, including digital files, are separate from the session fee.
Do you provide an online viewing gallery?
No. After all of our sessions, once the galleries are completed and fully edited, we will meet back in person to review your portraits. This may be in a public place, a rented office space, or in the comfort of your own home. At this time, we will view the images on a TV or computer at your leisure. Out of town clients will have coordinated Skype appointments if we are unable to travel to their location for the gallery reveal.
How long does it take to get our printed products?
Products are usually delivered within three weeks of the ordering session. Once we receive your order from the lab, the order is inspected to ensure it is perfect. Once confirmed, the order is beautifully packaged to be either carefully shipped to you or hand delivered. We can even install your artwork in your home for you free of charge!
What does a typical investment look like?
Our average sessions begin at $250 per session with a typical investment ranging between $200-$2000. Our sessions are highly customized to suit our client's various needs and pricing does vary.
We are always adding to this list, so let us know if you have further questions by emailing us at email@example.com and we would love to add them to our FAQs list!

So more or less the headline, the oil on the markets has dropped in price significantly in the last months. Did this affected the prices you pay?
In June, Brent was at $115 for barrel, now it is $85, over 25% decrease in price. Did this translate to lower prices on you local pump?
Here in Bulgaria, the drop is about only 4%, with some expectations to go to around 8%, 10% at the very best and this is only if the price stays at this level.

Author : Swann Ingo
Title : Penetration The question of extraterrestrial and human telepathy
Year : 1998
Link download : Swann_Ingo_-_Penetration.zip
Preface. This small book is divided into three parts. And it is with regard to the first part that I join a very long list of those who have seen and experienced things they cannot prove happened. The second part is on much firmer ground. It is largely a brief synopsis of spectacular data and facts about the Moon that have achieved exposure elsewhere, and which provide evidence that the Moon is a very interesting place, indeed. I have selected only small portions from all of the unusual lunar information available, but have provided sources in the bibliography fer those interested in more copious details. The third part begins with a presentation of certain social phenomena regarding the problems of telepathy that can be factually identified. These, however, set the background for the strange and surprising scenario they lead into, although the scenario is admittedly speculative in nature. Some have advised me not to publish this book - on the grounds that it challenges those echelons of conventional redibility that lasciviously get off on deconstructing those unfortunates who experience what they can't prove. I have been mindful of this opportunistic factor for several decades. But my age is advancing and I have become interested in recordL'lg and wrapping up my active research into Psi phenomena in order to pursue less stressful vistas. As I have discussed in other writings, I've always been interested in Psi phenomena, and beginning in 1970 it chanced that opportunities to extend that interest in depth were made available. Anyone with more than a mere superficial interest in Psi phenomena must of course encounter the rather smelly morass of social resistance wt.ereby the authenticity of those phenomena are methodically deconstructed, thus suspending them in doubt. This social resistance, even if smelly, has largely been successful in destroying all concerted approaches to Psi phenomena. This success is specifically active within high strata of societal power, and which strata are otherwise entirely disinterested in what lesser mortals DO experience along these lines. Why it is that governing societal factors need to deconstruct the provable er.istence of at least some vital !?si phenomena is therefore something that needs to be examined and understood. ...
