Customers often ask why handmade costs so much more than mass produced and I don't always know how to answer without boring them with long drawn out answers. What they see, that is the end product doesn't reveal the amount of hard work and dedication that not only goes into the finished piece but also the training and skills development that get them to that point in the first place. So I have compiled a list of steps that Jewellery designers take in getting from conception to final product.
1. From Concept to Design
The design process of handmade jewellery begins often as a vision or an inspiration or doodling. It is often hand drawn on paper, an effort that in itself is time consuming. Design is as much about proportions, texture and combinations of metals, colours and shapes as it is about form.
A spontaneous idea may be drawn in 2D or 3D and evolve many times until the artisan is happy with the final design. In fact a technical drawing is a specialised field in itself and the same item drawn from many angles.
If you are like me and you enjoy the weird and wonderful, it is this design process that accounts for the individual unique style of the designer.
In fact customising jewellery requires the knowledge of specialized techniques such as how to create texture, how to forge metal and how to set gemstones. All these techniques are conceived during the design process which can often take hours to complete.
I recall someone telling me that they didn't get why something was referred to as "designer" after all it had to originally be designed by someone therefore isn't it all designed! The answer is the time that a designer creates an original piece, and a non designed item is copied or manipulated on a computer.
A designed piece takes time, it is not a one size fits all strategy, it is not mass produced but rather carefully thought out and customised. It is a creative process that begins with a thought and ends up as a beautiful object that has tangible as well as emotional value.
Construction is such an important part of the process, it is the nuts and bolts of jewellery making. It is time consuming and requires highly specialised skills. Metals and gemstones need to be measured and weighed, cut, filed and soldered. Sounds simple?? It's not as it has to be perfect for the jewellery to have integrity and wearability.
Handmade jewellery is constructed using hand held tools. This is an incredibly time consuming process but also means that the end product is stronger and will last longer. There are no robots involved in the production of these items. Some of the tools that are used are a hand saws, files, wire cutters, pliers and polishing plates and discs.
At every stage, every piece of jewellery is given its shape by cutting, rubbing and scaling the metals, setting the stones, and finally polishing, polishing and more polishing (did I mention polishing) to end up with a highly individualised final product giving special attention to the strength and durability as well as beauty or artistic form.
3. Branding, Marketing & Promotion
Oh Boy!! where do I begin? how about PPPP or Product, Price, Place and Promotion, Marketing 101. Now days, a lot if not most is done online, think Instagram, FB, Twitter, adwords, and having an online presence through a website. This is not only time consuming but costly. You have your product a beautiful handmade pair of statement earrings. They are unique, made with quality materials and no one, I mean, NO ONE else makes them right! so what now?
Beautiful photographs on beautiful models or with other complimentary products. A professional photographer or good equipment costs money, promotion costs money and thinking bricks and mortar, paying a shop to sell for you costs money.
Then there is branding, this is essential, there are so many beautiful brands and clever artisans out there competing for customer attention. Building a brand that conveys your ethos vision and point of difference is what builds trust and loyalty.
All these are considered overheads and to run a viable business these costs have to be recovered by the sale of goods. If artisans don't recover these costs then their businesses run at a loss and they cannot afford to remain in business.
4. Shipping and handling
If running an online business, an item that has been sold has to be shipped to the buyer and often at the cost of the artisan. The item has to be packaged, firstly in a beautiful box for protection and branding (these can cost anywhere from $5 to $20 particulaly if they have the brand or logo printed on them).
Once boxed it is posted, If an artisan is accounting for their time appropriately, they will include the cost of petrol, or public transport or couriers service and time spent at the post office in their costings. Again, these costings are a part of running a business and all costs have to be taken into an account to recover these costs through the sale of products.
5.Bottom Line
Handmade jewellery designers and makers put in a lot of time, energy and hard work into creating their pieces. The love and passion that they have for their art is unmatched even by resellers, If people don't appreciate it that is ok, but to undermine all of it by saying that they are overpriced is not fair to them and the creative process in general.

Air France to Shed 1,826 Ground Jobs
Air France will eliminate 1,826 ground staff jobs through voluntary employee departures as it put off a decision about pilots and cabin crew.
The moves, aimed chiefly at fixing weaknesses in short-and medium-haul flights and cargo, were announced yesterday to union representatives. The targets are 582 cuts at Paris's Charles de Gaulle airport and 128 at the secondary Orly airport, 591 at French provincial airports and 282 in freight, the unit's chief executive officer, Frederic Gagey, said in a statement.
"Transform 2015 is working and our initial efforts are beginning to pay off," Gagey said in the statement, referring to the carrier's restructuring plan. "We need to continue and intensify our actions."

That's my experience too... I set the clothing assignments to minimum 50% and once I have a furnace I burn everything below 51%. I despise having that "worn clothing" warning on the side.
Man, you are a tough one. I play this for (maybe) years now and would have quit way before that. Nice job! Amazing story too! Sea Ice Challenge is what the most badasses like to try in order to die horribly. Basically, start a colony on the "Sea Ice" biome that is usually located on the northern pole of the planets. No trees, no animals, and under-zero temperatures all the time. Really tough shit
Good story. Play the sea ice challenges if you havent, I think you might enjoy them.
Try recruiting some bois
That's brutal man. I'll admit, I would have given up long before it got this far!Its become a battles of the wills at this point.

Press release from the issuing company
The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index®, which had increased in December, improved moderately in January. The Index now stands at 98.1 (1985=100), up from 96.3 in December. The Present Situation Index was unchanged at 116.4, while the Expectations Index increased from 83.0 to 85.9 in January.
The monthly Consumer Confidence Survey®, based on a probability-design random sample, is conducted for The Conference Board by Nielsen, a leading global provider of information and analytics around what consumers buy and watch. The cutoff date for the preliminary results was January 14.
"Consumer confidence improved slightly in January, following an increase in December," said Lynn Franco, Director of Economic Indicators at The Conference Board. "Consumers' assessment of current conditions held steady, while their expectations for the next six months improved moderately. For now, consumers do not foresee the volatility in financial markets as having a negative impact on the economy."
Consumers' appraisal of current conditions was relatively flat in January. The percentage saying business conditions are "good" was virtually unchanged at 27.2 percent, while those saying business conditions are "bad" declined slightly from 18.9 percent to 18.5 percent. Consumers' assessment of the labor market was modestly more positive. The proportion claiming jobs are "plentiful" decreased from 24.2 percent to 22.8 percent, while those claiming jobs are "hard to get" declined to 23.4 percent from 24.5 percent.
Consumers' optimism about the short-term outlook improved somewhat in January. The percentage of consumers expecting business conditions to improve over the next six months rose from 14.5 percent to 16.2 percent, while those expecting business conditions to worsen edged down from 10.8 percent to 10.3 percent.
Consumers' outlook for the labor market was also slightly more optimistic. Those anticipating more jobs in the months ahead increased from 12.4 percent to 13.2 percent, while those anticipating fewer jobs decreased slightly from 16.8 percent to 16.5 percent. The proportion of consumers expecting their incomes to increase improved from 16.3 percent to 18.1 percent. However, the proportion expecting a reduction in income increased from 9.5 percent to 10.8 percent.

Continuing its implementation of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), the US Treasury Department recently released a package of proposed and temporary regulations.
According to a fact sheet released by the US Treasury Department along with a preliminary version of the temporary regulations on February 20, 2014, this is "the last substantial package of regulations necessary to implement [FATCA]." For previous Dentons alerts on FATCA guidance, please see US Government Announces 6-Month Delay in Certain FATCA Rules; US Treasury Department Releases Latest Round of FATCA Guidance; US Issues Final FATCA Regulations.
The package includes two separate sets of regulatory changes. One set (the "FATCA amendments") makes changes to the final FATCA regulations issued in January 2013. Some of the FATCA amendments flesh out conceptual changes previously announced by the Treasury Department, but other changes in the FATCA amendments respond to comments from interested parties made after publication of the final regulations or are self-styled clarifications that the US Treasury Department thought necessary after further consideration on its part. The other set (the "Coordination amendments") makes changes to the regulations that govern non-FATCA withholding and reporting rules under Chapter 3, Chapter 61, and section 3406 of the Internal Revenue Code to ensure that those withholding and reporting rules are consistent with FATCA. Indeed, the two sets of regulatory changes produce an echo effect, in which the FATCA amendments even include rules to coordinate with changes made by the Coordination amendments that were initially made to coordinate with the final FATCA regulations.
FATCA amendments
Final regulations issued in January 2013 (the "FATCA regulations"), in conjunction with intergovernmental agreements ("IGAs") negotiated with various jurisdictions, generally require US withholding agents to withhold, at a 30% rate, on certain payments made to foreign financial institutions ("FFIs") and nonfinancial foreign entities ("NFFEs") that do not report certain information regarding their US accounts or substantial US owners, respectively. Although the FATCA regulations are ostensibly final, the US Treasury Department has continued to make changes to the rules in those final regulations. The FATCA amendments continue that trend, making numerous changes to the FATCA regulations. Many of those changes were expected, but there were also some surprises.
The FATCA amendments consist of four types of changes to the FATCA regulations:
- Changes in response to criticisms of the FATCA regulations. These include
- changes to the rules for "grandfathered obligations" that are excluded from withholding under FATCA. In particular, the FATCA amendments provide relief for life insurance contracts that permit substitution of the insured and permit a withholding agent (other than the issuer of the obligation, or an agent of the issuer) to treat a modification of an obligation as material only if the withholding agent has actual knowledge that a material modification has occurred, such as if the withholding agent receives a disclosure indicating that there has been or will be a material modification to the obligation; and
- significant modifications to the definition of limited life debt investment entities.
- Modifications to incorporate changes promised in guidance issued after the FATCA regulations were issued in January 2013, especially Notice 2013-43 and Notice 2013-69. These include provisions regarding
- direct reporting NFFEs and sponsored direct reporting NFFEs, which are entities that elect to report information about their substantial US owners directly to the IRS rather than to withholding agents, and their sponsoring entities;
- payments to US insurance brokers that are acting as intermediaries for or agents of a foreign insurer (the withholding agent can treat them as a payee unless the withholding agent has reason to know that the US insurance broker will not satisfy its withholding obligations);
- coordination of FATCA withholding and backup withholding under section 3406 (a participating FFI that makes a withholdable payment that is also a reportable payment to a recalcitrant account holder is not required to apply backup withholding under section 3406 if it withholds on the payment under FATCA, and a participating FFI may satisfy its FATCA withholding obligations for a withholdable payment that is a reportable payment made to a recalcitrant account holder that is a US non-exempt recipient subject to backup withholding if the participating FFI elects for backup withholding under section 3406 to apply).
- Changes necessary to coordinate the FATCA regulations with other rules. These changes include
- coordination of definitions to reflect the issuance of the Coordination amendments (the FATCA amendments add definitions of backup withholding, branch, chapter 4 withholding rate pool, exempt recipient, IGA, non-exempt recipient, reportable payment, and reporting Model 2 FFI and modify the definition of a U.S. branch treated as a U.S. person);
- coordination with FFI Agreements (the definitions of financial institution, limited branch, limited FFI, and substantial U.S. owner are modified to ensure coordination between the FFI agreement and the temporary regulations);
- harmonization of definitions with IGAs;
- regarding the presumption rules for determining the status of a person as an individual or an entity and as U.S. or foreign, the FATCA amendments modify the FATCA regulations by cross-referencing the presumption rules under chapter 3, rather than restating the rules in detail; and
- ensuring that the electronic transmission requirements under the FATCA regulations and under Chapter 3 match, along with the requirements for an intermediary to submit electronically a withholding statement with a withholding certificate to a withholding agent.
- "Clarifications", correcting "oversights", and further tweaks to the FATCA regulations by the Treasury Department For example, the definition of excepted NFFE in the FATCA amendments is expanded to include a NFFE that is a qualified intermediary, withholding foreign partnership, or withholding foreign trust.
The preamble to the FATCA amendments also promises future guidance regarding verification requirements for sponsoring entities and conforming changes to FFI agreements.
Coordination amendments
A wealth of US withholding and reporting rules exist outside of FATCA, and withholding agents, issuers, and financial intermediaries must continue to comply with them, irrespective of FATCA. In particular there are withholding and reporting rules that apply to persons making payments of US source income to foreign persons ("Chapter 3" withholding and reporting), persons making payments to certain US persons ("Chapter 61" reporting), and withholding on payments to US persons who do not provide a Taxpayer Identification Number ("backup withholding"). The Coordination amendments also include guidance for foreign persons making claims for refund or credit of income tax withheld or claiming a statutory exclusion from withholding for so-called "portfolio interest.";
- Under Chapter 3, foreign persons are generally subject to a 30% withholding tax on the gross amount of US-source interest, dividends, and other fixed or determinable annual or periodical (FDAP) income they receive. US withholding agents and certain types of foreign persons must withhold US tax on the payments (absent an exemption by US tax treaty) and report such payments to the IRS (generally on a Form 1042) and to the recipient of the payment (generally on a Form 1042-S).
- Under Chapter 61, a payor must report to the IRS certain payments to or transactions with US individuals, partnerships, estates, and trusts ("non-exempt recipients") on the appropriate Form 1099 and furnish a copy of the completed form to the payee. The scope of the payor's reporting obligations depends on whether the payor is a US payor or a non-US payor, with US payors generally having to report both US and non-US source income and transactions.
- Pursuant to backup withholding under section 3406, a payor making a payment to a person who does not provide his or her US Taxpayer Identification Number and who does not prove foreign status may be required to backup withhold at a 28% rate.
The bulk of the Coordination amendments are to modify the regulations for non-FATCA withholding and reporting (Chapter 3, Chapter 61, and backup withholding) so that they conform to the FATCA regulations (as amended by the FATCA amendments) and IGAs. The goal of this coordination is "to develop a more integrated set of rules that reduces burdens (including certain duplicative information reporting obligations) and conforms the due diligence, withholding, and reporting rules under these provisions to the extent appropriate in light of the separate objectives of each chapter or section." The Coordination amendments generally seek to accomplish this goal by importing certain definitions, rules, and procedures from the FATCA regulations:
- Identification of payee and the payee's status. The Coordination amendments modify aspects of the documentation requirements that are inconsistent with FATCA, including the presumption rules which apply in the absence of valid documentation, provide guidance on the requirements for valid withholding certificates and the periods of validity of such withholding certificates, conform the rules for electronic transmission of withholding certificates and statements, and address when a withholding agent will be treated as having reason to know of a payee's US or foreign status.
- Adoption of exceptions to eliminate, in certain cases, duplicative reporting under Chapter 61 and FATCA. The Coordination amendments generally implement the elimination of duplicative reporting burdens previously announced in Notice 2013-69 and also make additional changes to reduce or eliminate duplicative reporting, such as for US persons that act as stock transfer agents or paying agents of passive foreign investment companies. In certain cases, such as for US payors that are also FFIs, duplicative reporting is retained if the Treasury Department believed that reporting under both sets of rules is important from a tax compliance standpoint.
- Coordination of withholding requirements. Because payments subject to withholding under FATCA may also be subject to withholding under Chapter 3 or backup withholding, the Coordination amendments make changes to the regulations under Chapter 3 to ensure that payments are not subject to withholding under both Chapter 3 and FATCA and to the regulations under section 3406 to ensure that payments are not subject to withholding under both section 3406 and FATCA. The Coordination amendments include changes that go beyond mere coordination, however, such as implementation of the repeal of the portfolio interest exception for certain foreign-targeted obligations that are not in registered form.
The Treasury Department also uses the Coordination amendments as an opportunity to adopt certain non-FATCA-related clean-ups to the Chapter 3, Chapter 61, and backup withholding regulations.
Both the FATCA amendments and the Coordination amendments make extensive changes to existing rules, making them difficult to summarize. Still, the following generalizations may be made.
- Make sure that you are consulting the most recent version of the package. The US Treasury Department has released several iterations of the package, and there are slight changes and refinements at each stage. The version that was released on February 20, 2014, is not the same as the version published in the Federal Register.
- Start reading if you have not already begun. The package includes a large number of technical changes, and affected entities will need time to digest the changes. Not only is there a lot of detail, but many of the changes will require you to take specific steps to implement them.
- There are still missing pieces waiting to be found. The preamble to the Coordination amendments does a good job of explaining why certain changes were made or not made, and one can read the Coordination amendments to see how the changes have been implemented. However, there are inevitably additional changes that should have been made but which were not so noted in the preamble. Discussions, and quick ones, will have to ensue regarding any omissions if additional changes must be made and effective before July 1, 2014.
- Nothing is ever final, especially in FATCA. Despite the drafters' best intentions, some of the changes in the package will be need be revised. For example, there is already acknowledgement that the change to the definition of "offshore obligation" was inadvertently narrowed when the FATCA amendments and Coordination amendments sought to conform definitions in the FATCA rules and the non-FATCA reporting rules.
- There is more than just coordination in the Coordination amendments. There are some helpful changes made to the non-FATCA withholding and reporting rules that go beyond merely those needed to coordinate the FATCA rules.
- Stay tuned. Despite the package being billed as the last major FATCA guidance, more guidance will be released. Final Forms W-8 were released on March 4, 2014, but additional forms need to be finalized, and the final FFI agreement needs to be revised.

He might be one of the world's most successful and highest paid actors, but that doesn't excuse Kit Harington from being banished to the doghouse every once in a while.
The 32-year-old, who plays Jon Snow in Game of Thrones, revealed his wife Rose Leslie, who was his on screen love in the earlier seasons of the fantasy drama, didn't talk to him for three days because he told her how the show would end.
Frankly Rose, we're all really jealous. We've been trawling fan theory websites since season 7 ended in 2017 and dissecting every word that's ever come out of George R.R. Martin's mouth to try and uncover a spoiler.
The eighth and final season of Game of Thrones premieres on Foxtel direct from the US on April 15, 2019, and will be six episodes in total which are each reportedly the length of a feature film.
And while us GoT tragics are dying to see how it will end, Rose has known for nearly a year — and she ain't happy about it.
"I told my wife last year how it ended and she wouldn't talk to me for about three days," Harington told UK radio station KISS FM.
And in true GoT cast conduct, Harington gave the most cryptic explanation imaginable when discussing whether he was satisfied with the ending.
#KitHarrington uses emojis to drop hints about the #GameOfThrones final season! 😲😉— KISS FM UK (@KissFMUK) February 1, 2019
LISTEN to the new #KISSBreakfast show with Tom & Daisy HERE ▶👉 https://t.co/LK39zOW8t6 pic.twitter.com/hxwbDASph1
"I can't really answer whether I'm happy or not," he said. "I don't think it's about happy or sad, really. I'm satisfied with what they did, but I don't know whether I'll be really satisfied until I see it."
Thanks for nothing, Kit.
We go into the new season where many of the characters are gathering to fight the Army of the Dead in what will no doubt be an epic battle as the series comes to its conclusion.
While there are a string of varying plot lines that remain unanswered as we head into the finale, including the uncertainty around Jon's true identity, the biggest question on everyone's lips is who will end up sitting on the Iron Throne, with millions of fan theories circulating online as the countdown begins.
For those not yet on the GoT bandwagon, the first seven seasons are available to view on demand on Foxtel Now.

This instrument is a folding pocked magnifier of approximately 3x magnification built into a mahogany case. There is a single biconvex lens mounted in a bone disk. The top was originally painted black, but most has flaked off. Below the lens is a circular bone sample stage mounted on hinges to the three pillars. This instrument is designed to use ambient illumination so there is no mirror. The lens and stage are a fixed distance away, which is the focal length of the lens. There is no provision for focusing the sample as there was in subsequent, single-pillar models. All Withering folding microscopes are hinged such that when the top is closed the pillars, stage and lens all fold flat. This creates a convenient pocket-size microscope for field work. Folding microscopes were originally equipped with an additional (hand) lens, a forceps, pointer, and lancet. All are missing from this specimen. Glued to the inside of the top are the remains of Withering's instructions for its use. When closed the instrument is 10cm.
The Folding Botanical Microscope designed by William Withering (1741-1799) first described in A Botanical Arrangement of all the Vegetables naturally growing in Great Britain, 2nd Edition (Withering, 1787 vols 1,2; 1792 vol3). Withering designed two styles of botanical microscopes. His earlier style is cylindrical, as exemplified by microscope No. 244 in the Golub Collection. The second type, the folding botanical microscope, is exemplified by this instrument. The folding microscope had several variations over the course of only a few years. All of them had the stage and single magnifying lens attached to the support rods via pins. This allows the microscope to unfold from its flat storage condition to a stacked, open position. The Withering folding microscope had at least four different arrangements. This instrument with its three support rods was the earlier form or second version. Subsequent instruments had only one support rod to give easier access to the sample stage. Unfortunately, this also made the microscope unstable. All folded the stage and lens automatically when the case was closed. This paper describes the two basic styles of Withering microscopes: cylindrical and folding.

Brendon Hartley (STR13-03, Car 28)
Race: Pos. 12th
"I had a clean start and made up a few positions on the first lap. The mechanics did an amazing job to get the car ready for today – it was actually finished last night – we just had to do the car setup this morning. We decided to pit under the first safety car and go straight on to the medium to effectively do a one-stop. It worked, but it meant we lost a lot a couple of positions in the beginning. It was difficult to overtake today, I think some of the cars around us had a bit more top speed which made life difficult. I had a good overtake on Marcus at the end to get 12th and if I had made the overtake a little bit earlier there would have been the chance for 11th as well, because the pace was definitely there at the end of the race."
Pierre Gasly (STR13-04, Car 10)
Race: Retired
"Starting from P12, we were two positions away from P10 so points were clearly the target. Unfortunately, we couldn't achieve any, which is a shame. It's only the fifth race of the season but it's a missed opportunity. The crash with Romain at the start was a big mess, I saw some space on the inside with Nico and I tried to cut the corner as much as possible, but suddenly he came back completely towards us. It took both Nico and myself out. It seems like every weekend I have a peak of adrenaline with different incidents! Clearly it's a big shame not to be able to fight with the others and get a good result. The impact was big but I am fine, I'm just disappointed to be out on lap 1, because you work all weekend for the race and the chance to fight for points, but the excitement ended pretty quickly. Now we just need to focus on the test next week."
Franz Tost (Team Principal):
"Unfortunately, this was not our weekend. Yesterday we faced a heavy crash with Brendon in qualifying. In the race today, it was difficult to make up places because, as we know, in Barcelona it's not easy to overtake. Pierre was unlucky at the start of the race, he couldn't do anything to avoid the crash with Grosjean. It was unfortunate for him and the team because I think he could have scored some points today. The fact is that we were off the pace here, and now we need to concentrate on Monaco, targeting to get back into the points."
Toyoharu Tanabe (Honda F1 Technical Director):
"Before the race, we had hoped for a points finish with Pierre starting from twelfth on the grid. Unfortunately, through no fault of his own, he was caught up in Grosjean's accident and had to retire on the opening lap. The whole team did a good job last night to fix Brendon's car after his crash, allowing him to finish the race. After the chequered flag, Brendon pulled over immediately as we spotted an anomaly on the telemetry, but it's nothing serious. Now we have a busy week ahead, with two days of testing here in Barcelona, while also preparing for the next race in Monaco."

Six crew members of a Palau-flagged tanker were kidnapped by pirates off Nigeria last week. The incident occurred at the Bonny Outer Anchorage on April 19, 2019, according to the IMB Piracy Reporting Centre.
Specifically, the anchored 3,100 dwt tanker Apecus was boarded by unauthorized persons who kidnapped the six seafarers. The remaining crew was reported safe, the IMB said.
The Nigerian Navy was notified and an investigation into the incident has been launched.

Josh Groban is among the most popular singers straddling the classical and pop genres. It can be said his voice does some straddling as well, ranging from upper baritone well into the tenor range, making classification somewhat problematic. What is not problematic for the listener is the warm, mellifluous sound produced by it, the chief reason for Groban's meteoric rise. As a first-semester music theater student at Carnegie Mellon University in 1999, Groban left with the offer of a major recording contract and soon began appearing in concert with Sarah Brightman, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, and other vocal superstars. His first solo album, the eponymously titled Josh Groban, was released in 2001 and was an instant hit, auguring international stardom. Groban has made numerous television appearances, including on Oprah, Good Morning America, Today, two PBS specials, the 2004 Superbowl pregame ceremonies, two Ally McBeal episodes (2002-2003), and on the BBC. He has had a number of gold and platinum recordings, mostly for the various Warner Bros. labels (Atlantic, 143 Records, WEA/Reprise, etc.).
Groban was born in Los Angeles, CA, on February 27, 1981. His first advanced vocal studies were at the Interlochen Arts Camp in 1997-1998. From 1998, he was mentored by producer and arranger David Foster, who secured Groban's recording contract in 1999.
After leaving Carnegie Mellon, Groban appeared with Brightman on her La Luna World Tour (2000-2001). His first appearance on a recording came in 2001, when he teamed up with Lara Fabian in For Always, a number on the A.I.: Artificial Intelligence film soundtrack.
After the success of his aforementioned first album, Groban followed with a string of hit recordings, including Closer (2003), Live at the Greek (2004), Awake (2006), and Noel (2007). He also gave numerous acclaimed concerts and special appearances, among the more notable being the Christmas Concert at Vatican City (2002), Chess: Actors' Benefit Fund Concert (2002), singing the National Anthem at the 2005 World Series, and his duet with Brightman at the Concert for Diana (2007).
Among Groban's later recordings is the 2008 CD/DVD Awake Live, which also features collaborative numbers with violinist Lucia Micarelli and singer Angélique Kidjo. In 2008 Groban enhanced his popularity in the U.K. with appearances on the Charlotte Church Show (August 29) — where he sang "The Prayer" with Church — and on the panel game show Never Mind The Buzzcocks on December 11.

When you go on holiday, so should your dog – that's the view of Claire Purliant and her staff at Orchard House Luxury Boarding Kennels.
Dog lover Claire opened the Surfleet kennels at the beginning of December and prides herself on offering "the Hilton experience for dogs".
Claire's dad Ray Ellison and her sister Lucy Ellison-Rowe, both work part-time at the kennels, making it a real family affair.
The purpose-built kennels can cater for up to 16 dogs at a time. They are specifically designed to help your dog feel at home throughout their stay. As well as blinds, there are ticking clocks and radios for background noise.
Benefits of kennels include:
Spacious rooms
Double glazing
Fully insulated
Ample natural light
Under-floor heating
Relaxing music played all day and into the evening
Aromatherapy scents in the kennels to aid relaxation
Smoke detectors
CCTV for maximum on-site security
Each dog gets three outings a day in 4.5 acres of secure grassland and trees.
The building has a reflective roof which keeps it cool in the summer and is fully insulated meaning it's warm during the colder months.
Before setting up the kennels Claire worked in farming and has run working Cocker spaniels most of her adult life. After a period of training other people's dogs to work in the field, she decided opening a boarding kennels business was a natural progression.
She said: "When you're training dogs for the field there is more discipline whereas with the kennels we get to cuddle and play with dogs, which is much more fun!"

Hanging of 'Truck Nuts' Grows into a Free Speech Debate
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
'Don't touch my junk,' is taking on new meaning.
"Truck nuts," fake bull testicles made of plastic or metal that drivers hang on the back of their pickups to make a truck look more manly, have been around for years. Some find them funny, while others find them offensive, prompting at least three states to try to ban them -- unsuccessfully.
But a recent case in South Carolina is fueling debate over whether these ornaments violate a state's indecency laws and if attempting to regulate them infringes on freedom of speech.
On July 5, Virginia Tice, 65, from Bonneau, S.C. pulled her pickup truck into a local gas station with red, fake testicles dangling from the trailer hitch. The town's police chief, Franco Fuda, pulled up and asked her to remove the plastic testicles.
When she refused, he wrote her a $445 ticket saying that she violated South Carolina's obscene bumper sticker law.
The South Carolina code of laws reads, "a sticker, decal, emblem, or device is indecent … in a patently offensive way, as determined by contemporary community standards, sexual acts, excretory functions, or parts of the human body."
Tice lawyered up and said that she was preparing to challenge Fuda in court. But before she could ask for a jury trial, Fuda, in a rare move, beat her to it.
Fuda says he is pushing for a jury trial and hopes the outcome will clarify the state's obscenity laws, leaving no room for misinterpretation.
"The law is very clear, and I am prepared to take it all the way," Fuda told FoxNews.com.
Scott Bischoff, Tice's lawyer, says his client is not bowing down because "this whole thing was caused by the arresting officer, who is arbitrarily interpreting a statute incorrectly."
Bischoff will argue whether these large, red, plastic testicles are "really an accurate depiction of a human body part."
"He is nuts," says Jay Bender, a lawyer and professor at the University of South Carolina, referring to Fuda and his interpretation of the law. Bender says although tasteless and stupid, they are not illegal, and adds, "Chief Fuda is abusing his arrest powers." He says the statute is very clear about what material is obscene and "it doesn't have anything to do with artificial bull testicles."
David Hudson, a First Amendment attorney and scholar, says laws banning these types of decals, emblems or bumper stickers are problematic, but often someone just hasn't challenged them.
Hudson believes Tice and her lawyer can make a good case the South Carolina law is "unconstitutionally vague and unconstitutionally board, and it violates the First Amendment."
In the past, lawmakers in Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland and Florida have proposed legislation to ban these types of decals and other explicit bumper stickers.
Hudson detailed many cases where law enforcement officials cited individuals for the content of their bumper stickers, and in the majority of those cases, a judge tossed them out because "the First Amendment protects a great deal of offensive expression."
Hudson also cites the Supreme Court's opinion that "the government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea itself offensive or disagreeable."
Even though the attempts to ban "truck nuts" have been unsuccessful, customers are still leery about their legality.
Trick Trucks, a truck accessory chain, has been selling them for years and has had customers question whether they are illegal. Keith Dillard says sales at his Lanham, Md., store are hit and miss, but "when people talk about outlawing or banning them, they come in to buy them up."
"I can't see a piece of plastic being offensive, it's not like you can't see that along the road, there are farms all over," says Ron Pelletier, assistant manager of the Trick Trucks in Waldof, Md. Both say most people buy them as gag gifts.
Neither side in Bonneau, S.C., is laughing over this legal mess, but they do agree the public interest in the case is shocking. Fuda said that he's been getting a lot of feedback from people, including one Florida woman who stopped by the police station to say she was glad he wrote the ticket, while another man called to ask, "if we didn't have anything better to do?"
"We concur with the sentiments of people in our community and across the nation that this whole thing is a big waste of time, but it was all started by Chief Fuda," says Bischoff.
The case goes to trial next month.

Replacement o-ring for your cornelius keg lid.
All kegs have o-rings: one on each post, one on each dip tube, and a large closure o-ring that fits over the center closure. This is the large o-ring that fits over the lid, creating a seal that allows the lid to remain sealed in place. Over time, these o-rings can wear out. When that happens, it's time for new ones!

The statue of famous C19th playwright Alexander Ostrovsky stands outside the Maly Theatre entrance. Today the names of Ostrovsky and the Maly Theatre are inseparable. Ostrovsky's 48 plays all premiered at the Maly. They were written especially with the Maly actors in mind – he even read them to the actors himself. Several were written for Benefit Performances at an actor's request. Even during his lifetime people called the Maly "Ostrovsky's theatre". No matter what changes happen in Russia, it seems likely that his plays will always have pride of place here. Alexander Ostrovsky should not be confused with Nikolai Ostrovsky – a writer of soviet-era socialist fiction.
Moscow is the capital of the ancient and modern Russian state. It has been playing crucial role for centuries. Here you can face all episodes of rich and gorgeous Russian history.
The city is full of historical buildings, monuments, cathedrals, museums and parks. It started many centuries ago from the Kremlin – medieval city-fortress overlooking the Moskva River. Now it is not only the government seat but open air museum. Behind the tall red brick walls palaces, cathedrals and museums are hidden. You can get there through one of the gates and walk along the streets that saw Ivan the Terrible, Boris Godunov, Peter the Great and all other Romanovs, and the Soviet leaders.
You can visit all the cathedrals on Sobornaya (Cathedral) Square, climb Ivan the Great Bell Tower, take photos of the Tzar Bell and Tzar Cannon, see state regalia, ceremonial vestments and gold and silver relics in the world-known treasury-house – the Armoury Chamber. To say more, the Kremlin and its vicinities are on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
We would like to advise you not to concentrate on the Kremlin only. Now you can get out of the Kremlin through the Spasskiye Gate and find yourself on Red Square – the main square of the country where Victory Day parades take place. In winter there is a skating rink with some kind of souvenir bazar. Red Square is famous for being the part of so called Kitai-Gorod – the second ring of fortified walls. Here you will see the beautiful fairy-tale St. Basil's Cathedral. It is open for tourists and it's worth visiting. Other places that pay tourists' attention are GUM (the main center for shopaholics), Lenin's Mausoleum, the State History Museum and the small Cathedral of the Kazan Icon of Our Lady. If you go along Nikolskaya Street, you will get to Lubyanka Square with the imposing buildings of former KGB and the biggest in Russia Children's World Department Store.
If you decide to go through the Resurrection Gate you will find yourself on Manezhnaya (Manege) Square at the entrance to the Alexander Garden.

The Times of Israel liveblogged Tuesday's events as they unfolded.
Labor chief said urged to merge with Meretz, prefers to join with Blue and White
Labor-Gesher party leader Amir Peretz is under heavy pressure to negotiate a potential merger with the left-wing Meretz party, but Peretz objects to the idea, the Kan public broadcaster reports, citing sources within Labor.
Peretz associates are quoted as saying the center-left party would rather unite with the centrist Blue and White party, saying internal polls predicts such an alliance could win 40 Knesset seats.
Blue and White currently has 33 seats and Labor-Gesher has 6.
Germany withdraws some troops from Iraq as tensions soar
Germany says it has temporarily withdrawn some of its troops deployed as part of the anti-Islamic State coalition in Iraq, in the latest fallout over the US drone strike that killed a top Iranian general.
A total of 32 German soldiers based in Camp Taji near Baghdad have been flown by a military transporter A400m to the al-Azraq air-force base in Jordan, the German military says in a statement.
Three German soldiers stationed in Baghdad, the headquarters of the coalition fighting against the Islamic State jihadist group, have been transferred to Kuwait.
"These troops can be brought back at any time if the training in Iraq is to resume," the statement adds. "The safety of our soldiers remains a top priority."
Jewish cemetery desecrated in southwest France
A dozen graves at a Jewish cemetery in the southwest of France have been desecrated, the local community says, after the latest in a string of recent attacks that have sparked concerns about a wave of anti-Semitism.
Deborah Loupien-Suares, the head of the Jewish community in the towns of Bayonne and Biarritz, says she discovered the damage on Sunday when visiting the graves of her grandparents.
"There is significant damage to up to 10 tombs at the cemetery which have been smashed," she tells AFP, expressing her "shock and horror."
Tombstones were broken as well as a commemorative plaque for a girl who was deported during World War II.
Loupien-Suares says she will file a criminal complaint with police in Bayonne, where prosecutors have confirmed an investigation is underway.
"There is no anti-Semitic graffiti and I don't want to inflame a debate. I want the investigation to take place calmly," she says.
But she adds that the Catholic cemetery which "is situated just opposite and is more easily accessible" was not damaged.
Death toll in Iran funeral stampede up to 40
The death toll in a stampede during the mass funeral of slain Iranian general Qassem Soleimani has risen from 32 to 40, the Reuters news agency reports, citing Iranian media.
"So far 40 people were killed and 213 others were wounded in the incident," an emergency service official is quoted as telling the semi-official Fars news agency.
Zarif confirms UN informed him that US has denied him visa
Iran's foreign minister says he has been informed by UN chief Antonio Guterres that Washington has denied him a visa for a trip to UN headquarters in New York.
"What we know is that the US State Secretary (Mike Pompeo), in a call to the Secretary General of the United Nations, said: 'We did not have time to issue a visa for Mohammad Javad Zarif and we will not issue a visa,'" Zarif says.
"The secretary general responded by saying that it is Iran's right to take part in this session," Iran's top diplomat says, quoted by semi-official news agency ISNA.
So far there has been no official confirmation from Washington that it has rejected Zarif's visa application.
Lebanon leader hopes US-Iran tensions won't spread to its border with Israel
Lebanon's president says the country is working to prevent rising tensions in the region from affecting stability at home.
Michel Aoun makes the remarks during separate meetings with the UN special coordinator for Lebanon and the commander of the UN peacekeeping force deployed along the country's border with Israel.
A statement by Aoun's office quotes him as saying it is important that calm continues along the Israel-Lebanon border and to "prevent negative developments from happening there."
The leader of Lebanon's Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group has said the US military will pay a price for killing Iran's top general and Iraqi militia leaders in Baghdad last week.

Chief rabbi defends remarks about ex-Soviet immigrants, says they were distorted
Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef reacts for the first time to the public outrage caused by his remarks against immigrants from the former Soviet Union, defending his statements and claiming his words were being "distorted" by politicians.
"I was clear and I say again: Alongside the majority of the welcome aliyah of hundreds of thousands of Jews from the former Soviet Union… there is a minority of immigrants who are not Jewish according to Jewish law who came due to the Law of Return," Yosef says in a statement.
"During my visits over the last month to the blooming Jewish communities in Russia and Ukraine I was exposed to the strong criticism within those communities regarding the act of bringing many who aren't Jewish to Israel.
"It is very unfortunate that there are some who feel offended from the way the remarks were presented while they were blatantly distorted by interested political figures who have been inciting for many months against Judaism and Jewish law."
EgyptAir suspends flights to Baghdad this week
Egypt's national airline EgyptAir has temporarily suspended flights to Baghdad. A statement by the country's civil aviation authority says it is due to the turmoil that's taking place there.
A spokesman for the authority, Bassem Abdel Karim, says the airline will halt flights Wednesday through Friday this week. He says authorities will then assess the situation and resume flights when they deem the situation safe again.
Governments and companies around the world are weighing how to respond to the rising tensions in the Middle East after a US airstrike killed Iran's top military commander near Baghdad's airport last week and Tehran vowed "harsh retaliation."
Border Police bans officers from using Chinese app Tiktok over security fears
Border Police has banned its members from using a popular Chinese social networking app over concerns that it poses a security risk, Walla reports.
The security agency instructs officers not to use TikTok, a very popular app among teenagers and young Israelis used to film and share short videos, while wearing Border Police uniform or while they are in their bases or during operations.
Border Police says the content uploaded to the app and shared with the public could include information compromising Israel's security and footage that could "compromise the values and image of the organization."
Border Police says that while it has for years banned uploading content to social media in general, several videos shared on TikTok caused it to single out the Chinese app.
Last month, the US Navy and Army similarly banned TikTok following warnings by the Pentagon and lawmakers.
US sends B-52 bombers to Indian Ocean island, preparing possible Iran strike
The US is deploying six B-52 fighter jets to the British overseas territory of Diego Garcia in preparation for possible strikes against Iran as Washington-Tehran tensions skyrocket, the Telegraph website reports.
The secretive US base on the Indian Ocean island is located some 3,800 kilometers (2,400 miles) from southern Iran, putting the bombers within striking range of Iran but outside the range of most of Iran's missiles, the British report says.
Putin visits Syria, claims 'huge' progress in talks with Assad
Russian President Vladimir Putin visited Syria today and met officials including President Bashar Assad, state media reports.
Putin hails "huge" progress made in talks with Assad, according to the reports.
Putin's visit is the second to the war-torn country where his troops have been fighting alongside government forces since 2015.
The visit comes amid heightened tensions between Iran, a key Syrian ally, and the United States, following the killing of a top Iranian general in a US airstrike in neighboring Iraq.

For the first time in months, an incendiary balloon apparently launched from the Gaza Strip is located inside a community in southern Israel.

More than 50 dead in stampede at Iran general's funeral: new toll
More than 50 people have been crushed to death at the funeral of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani in the southeastern city of Kerman, Iranian media reports, citing a morgue count.
The tragedy has left 212 people injured, a small number of whom were in a serious condition, semi-official news agency ISNA adds, citing Kerman's emergency services chief Mohammad Saberi.
Liberman's party demands criminal probe into chief rabbi for alleged incitement
Avigdor Liberman's Yisrael Beytenu party sends a letter to Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit, asking him to open a criminal investigation into the Sephardic chief rabbi, Yitzhak Yosef, over "suspected incitement to racism."
After Yosef's remarks calling immigrants from the former Soviet Union "religion-hating gentiles" were exposed, the party — whose voters base consists largely of immigrants from the former Soviet Union and which has repeatedly clashed recently with the ultra-Orthodox — says in the letter that the remarks are "very severe."
"There is great doubt whether he is fit to continue serving in this public position," the letter says. "In the current circumstances we have no choice but to demand that you use your authority to bring the chief rabbi to justice."
Mike Pompeo won't run for US Senate in 2020 — source
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will not run for an open US Senate seat in Kansas this year, according to a person familiar with the top diplomat's decision.
Pompeo met with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell yesterday in the US Capitol "where he indicated he will not be running for Senate," a source close to McConnell tells AFP.
"Leader McConnell believes Secretary Pompeo is doing an incredible job as Secretary of State and is exactly where the country needs him to be right now," the source adds.
McConnell, according to US media reports, has courted the 56-year-old former CIA director for the Senate over the past year, as a way to boost the likelihood of Republicans holding the seat that opened with the announced retirement of Senator Pat Roberts.
Honduras says it will recognize Hezbollah as terror group
Honduras announces that it will join Guatemala and other allied nations in declaring Hezbollah an international terrorist organization, the office of the Latin American country's president announces.
The government of President Juan Orlando Hernandez is traditionally very pro-Israel, has opened a trade office in Jerusalem recently and is expected to move its embassy to Jerusalem in the coming weeks.
Last year, Argentina and Paraguay took the step against Hezbollah, prodding Guatemala's incoming president to announce in November that his country would follow suit.
Foreign Minister Israel Katz welcomes the move as an "important step in the global war on terrorism," adding that Israel is holding talks with other countries such as Germany, Australia and Brazil in hopes they will follow suit.

NATO says taking 'some personnel' out of Iraq
NATO says it will take "some personnel" out of Iraq because of the increased risk to their safety after the US killed a top Iranian general there.
The withdrawal is temporary but "the safety of our personnel is paramount," a NATO official says. The military alliance announced on Saturday it had suspended its training mission in Iraq.
Polish president says he's skipping Holocaust event in Israel
Poland's President Andrzej Duda announces he will skip a major Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem later this month because he was not invited to speak at the event while Russian President Vladimir Putin was, the Reuters news agency reports.
The move comes amid a bitter Russian-Polish disagreement over the history of the beginning of World War II.
Duda was widely expected to participate in the event, but this week indicated that he will only come if he is allowed to speak there.
"As the president I will not take part in the event that will take place on January 23 in Jerusalem," he says after his request was apparently rejected.
France has no plans to pull troops from Iraq — source
France has "no intention" of withdrawing its troops in Iraq, a French government source tells AFP, as tensions soar over the US killing of a top Iranian general in Baghdad.
France has contributed around 200 soldiers to the US-led coalition fighting the Islamic State insurgency group, of which 160 are tasked with training Iraqi military personnel, according to the defense ministry.
UK says its forces will leave Iraq if Baghdad demands move
Britain will withdraw its troops from Iraq if Baghdad so demands, UK Defense Minister Ben Wallace says.

Netanyahu to head Likud elections campaign, again
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will again lead the ruling Likud's campaign ahead of the March 2 Knesset elections, the party announces.
The field operations will be led by Foreign Minister Israel Katz and Culture Minister Miri Regev. The manager of the party campaign headquarters will be Lod Mayor Yair Revivo.
Source: Polish president skipping Jerusalem event not connected to Israel-Poland ties
An unnamed diplomatic source is quoted by Hebrew-language media as saying the decision by Polish President Andrzej Duda to skip a major Holocaust memorial event on January 23 "has no connection with the relations between Poland and Israel."
"The President of Poland was invited to take part in the events in Jerusalem marking 75 years since the liberation of Auschwitz, and the invitation still stands," the source says.
Democratic Camp to run again in elections; Yair Golan confirmed as its No. 3
The left-wing Meretz party says it has signed an agreement to renew the Democratic Camp alliance for the upcoming elections as well, making MK Yair Golan — originally from Ehud Barak's Israel Democratic Party — No. 3 on the slate of candidates.
With the sides branding the move as the "first merge" of parties on the left, Golan holds a press event with Meretz leader Nitzan Horowitz, who hails the agreement as "very gladdening and important."
The party says more candidates will be publicly announced within days.
It calls on the center-left Labor-Gesher party to join forces to ensure both parties clear the 3.25-percent electoral threshold.
Iraq PM says received signed US 'withdrawal' letter yesterday
Iraq's premier Adel Abdel Mahdi confirms he has received what the US said was a draft letter describing steps its military will take to "move out" of Iraq.
The Pentagon said an unsigned draft version of the letter was mistakenly sent, but the Iraqi premier says he has received signed and translated copies at 8:00 p.m. local time yesterday.
The letter discussed "redeploying with an aim to withdraw from the country. The expressions were very clear," Abdel Mahdi says.

Chief rabbi intensifies attack, accuses some immigrants of anti-Semitism
Sephardi Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef intensifies his attack on immigrants from the former Soviet Union, alleging that some of them have developed "anti-Semitic sentiment."
In a new video released following the outrage caused by his remark earlier that some are "religion-hating gentiles," Yosef says: "There are two sorts of aliyah from the Soviet Union: One is welcome by hundreds of thousands of Jews who suffered for their Judaism — them we accept with great love and affection.
"But there is another aliyah, we must not deny that, by those who are not Jews, who have developed anti-Semitic sentiment. They brought some, unfortunately, who have caused terrible incitement against Judaism," he adds.

UK woman convicted over rape claim against Israelis leaves Cyprus
A British tourist found guilty in Cyprus of falsely accusing a group of Israelis of rape arrives at Larnaca airport to depart for the UK after receiving a suspended sentence in the case.

According to the Mirror, some 100 supporters have greeted her at the airport, around half of them Israeli. The Mail reports that one Israeli told her: "The men you met are not representative of Israel."

Netanyahu's office said blocking construction of 2,000 East Jerusalem homes
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office is blocking attempts to promote the construction of some 2,000 homes in Har Homa, a Jewish neighborhood in East Jerusalem, the Kan public broadcaster reports.
The Jerusalem Municipality is trying to advance the plan with the backing of Mayor Moshe Lion, the report says, but the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) is rejecting it due to "diplomatic difficulties."
The PMO did not deny the report, Kan says.
An unnamed diplomatic source is quoted as saying in response: "Israel has built in Jerusalem, is building in Jerusalem and will continue building in Jerusalem — while exercising judgment."
Police arrest 6 Muslims at Temple Mount in Jerusalem

Altair and Ezio's swords? You can see them in the video here at 7:42
If it's something specific and super-spoilery, I don't wanna know.
It's DLC. If you view the additional content in the main menu you can see it titled as the Crusader and Florentine pack, comes with the swords plus some customization for the jackdaw.
Oh, okay, sweet. I'm away from my console right now, do you happen to know how much it costs?
No cost is listed. All it says is 'Coming Soon'.
Alright. Well, thanks for the info!
I remember seeing somewhere a 'Crusader pack' and 'Florentine pack' a long time ago when tons of different editions of AC4 were announced, so I think somebody should have these already. Maybe.
