Once upon a potty : Boy is an e-book / audio book and is published by Oceanhouse Media.
This book gives you the options of reading the book yourself, having the read to you (and you control the page turns) or the complete book read to you automatically. The application also adds extra interaction by touching something on the screen the name appears in spoken text.
The story is by Alona Frankel and is a tale is about a little boy Joshua, who is receives his first potty to help her to finish using his diaper / nappy.
There is even a potty song to listen to.
This book is fun for kids and a nice read for adults.
The books is nicely drawn and read.
On the upside:
- Interactive with the book adds to the "re-readability" of the book.
- Universal for iPad and iPhone.
- Had my kids laughing and re-reading immediately.
On the downside:
- No page selector to jump into the story to your favorite bit of the book.
Overall, my kids really liked this book, but I like more for the comedy of Joshua missing the potty the first time and the poo-poo in the diapers. However, it is a good book and explains a difficult to cover subject.

|Me with my Mexican food in Germany... too funny!
That night we got on the bus planning to do a little sight seeing, but the next place the bus stopped at looked really fun so we got off the bus to check it out! It was a Christmas festival! They called it the Wintergarten. It had all kinds of booths set up w food, drinks, crafts, etc. Berlin is known for its Currywurst, which is like a sausage cut up & covered in tomatoey-curry sauce. Lee tried that & I had this bread pocket filled w chicken & garlic sauce. My favorite thing we ate there was this chocolate covered strawberry kabob. The milk chocolate here is the best I've ever had! It's so milky & smooth & amazing. We spent the whole night walking around & looking at all of the Christmas lights & booths. It was probably my favorite thing in Berlin!
|Chocolate desserts at the Wintergarden
|Lee's currywurst
|Booths at the Wintergarden
|Beautiful tree in Berlin
The next two days we spent sightseeing both by walking & from our Hop on-Hop off bus. We didn't get to see as much as we would've liked because many things were closed for New Years, but we did get to see a part that is left of the BerlinWall, the Jewish Museum, the German History Museum, & the German president's house!
|A little chunk of what's left of the Berlin wall
On New Year's Eve, we went to the Brandenburg Gate to celebrate. For the Germans, this is similar to going to Times Square in New York City. There were TONS of people there. They had djs, food and drink booths, bands, etc. Thy had a huge section if the street closed off & it was just a huge party. At midnight they had a fireworks show. This was a great time, & our sight seeing yesterday definitely suffered because of it! Haha. We made friends with two girls from the UK & spent most of the night hanging w them! It was such a memorable time for us
|Look at all of those people celebrating at the Brandenburg Gate for NYE! The light in the very back is the main stage.
Our last night in Germany, we had one last German meal, & the next day we headed to Paris. My poor Leeroy started coming down w a cold at this point in our trip. We brought some medicine w us, but it was one of those colds where you need a few days in bed to sleep it off & he didn't want to sleep off our last 2 days of vacation, so he took medicine and pushed through. To end our time in Berlin we got up at 3:30am to get ready & get to the airport, and arrived in Paris around 9:00 a.m.
|Lee was excited for one last German meal! This statue was outside our restaurant.
Berlin was the city we did the least amount of planning for, but we enjoyed it none-the-less. It was so fun to experience New Years Eve in another country!

I recently visited my old alma mater Sacramento City Photo department. About a year ago they completed a new facility that's completely different from what I knew when I took photo classes decades ago.
Instructor Paul Estabrook (who himself is also a graduate of the program) gave me the 5-cent tour. There was a large gallery space and computer lab and nearly half of the new space was dedicated to studio photography with 2 large, well-equipped studios.
If you're a photo student looking toward a career in the field I suggest taking at least an introductory course in studio lighting, even if you're not interested in that field.
Learning the theories and practices will help you learn how light works, both in and out of the studio. It will help you recognize good quality light and how to correct problems when they occur.
I recently watched a live-streaming event on Facebook from the Nikon booth at the Consumer Electronics Show in the Las Vegas Convention Center. It featured veteran photographer Joe McNally giving a quick off-camera lighting demonstration. While he's a lighting master he does the bulk of his work on location, not in a studio. It was amazing to watch the ease at which he breezed through different lighting solutions to overcome the poor lighting in the convention hall.
During his presentation McNally said something interesting. The ultimate goal of photography, whether in the studio or in the field, isn't about the technique, it's about communicating what's important in a photo. Through properly and effectively lighting your subject you can convey that importance to the viewer.
A lot of photographers eschew flash photography and/or studio lights. They make claims that it looks harsh or artificial and that they prefer the natural-looking ambient light, but that's because they often don't understand how to use flash properly. If one takes the time to learn the skills it can help to make you a more complete photographer.

The world of mobile is changing quickly.
As technologies evolve, so do the conversations surrounding them.
And while new terminologies do emerge, most frequently it's about the conversations becoming more nuanced.
As the applications of certain technologies, such as iBeacons and deep linking expand, we can talk about their current relevance and their implications for the future.
And we can talk about the evolving needs of mobile users and the emphasis this places on mobile performance enhancing techniques and related terms such as Time to First Byte, Time to Interact, and blocking JavaScript.

The Scottish Wedding Census reveals the true cost of a Scottish wedding
In its third year, the Scottish Wedding Census is annually commissioned by us to give you an insight into the trends and spends of the industry.
The results of The Scottish Wedding Census 2016 are in – and we're sharing the results with you!
In its third year, the Scottish Wedding Census is annually commissioned by us to give you an in-depth insight into the trends and spends of the Scottish wedding industry.
Among the results from over 1,900 bride and groom respondents, it was found the average cost of a Scottish wedding in 2015/16 came in at £29,904.
The census also found 74% of couples made a budget for their big day, with 53% managing to stick to their financial plan and 8% coming in under their set budget. Within their budget was the bride's dress, with the average Scottish bride-to-be splashing out £1,389 on her dream gown.
For the I Do's, humanist ceremonies overtook the popularity of religious ceremonies in 2016 for the first time in Scottish wedding history, reflected in the census stats with 38% humanist to 33% religious ceremonies.
Chris Phin, Head of SWD, said "I'm proud of the rigor with which the Insight team conducted this survey, and of the context and expertise my team can put around the raw data. Stats like these are always there to inform rather than to override your gut instincts, but nobody else is doing this research into the wedding market in Scotland, and I can't wait to see what companies do once armed with our full briefing on spends and trends from to-be-weds."
Carol Prest, Head of Insight and Commercial Development at DC Thomson said ""For each of the last three years, to-be-weds from all around Scotland have responded in their droves to the Scottish Wedding Census. Along with all the information on expenditure, we glean personal insights into each big day " from the desire to be married in any venue with a turret to the challenges of a bride with allergies to wool. For any wedding industry supplier this is a robust and valuable view of the market upon which to plan and respond to trends."
You can see more results from the Scottish Wedding Census in the Winter 2017 issue of Scottish Wedding Directory, on sale now (£4.95).

I have a Les Paul Studio that I've had now for 25 years (god, I can't believe it's been that long). I saved up all my grass cutting money one summer when I was 17 to buy it. I know it's not worth a lot (even has a neck repair) but it has sentimental value. I played so many gigs with this back in the day. It was beautiful when I first bought it, I can remeber staring at it for hours at night after playing it ;-) but many years of playing and neglect and spilled beers/too close to heat lamps, years under the bed have rendered it just plain disgusting (although it still plays and sounds great). I decided I'm going to try to give it a new life and I know I'll invest more than it will ever be worth to others. I've restored snowmobiles and even a few houses in the past, but I've never restored a guitar so I could use some help. I've been reading some of the refinish posts here and yesterday I dug in to stripping it. Here's some pictures of the process.
Where I'm at now:
I am totally torn on what I want it to look like in the end. I'm thinking of doing a honeyburst with nickle and cream hardware and maybe zebra pickups but I'm totally 100% open to suggestions and opinions. Only thing I know for sure....I definitely want grover tuners, I'm not a fan of the Klusen style. Some questions:
- What about the headstock? I haven't stripped that yet because I have no clue how I would get the silkscreen back on there. SHould I just preserve that and just spray clear on it?
- Where is the best place to get finishes? I've heard of reranch but their website isn't that helpful. I don't see any honey burst products for example. StewMac? Others?
- I have an HVLP gun/compressor and I've painted a few things before. I'm not an expert by any means but I have the basic concepts down. Should I go HVLP or aerosol?
- If anyone has (new) hardware laying around they are looking to part with, LMK.
- Completely open to any tips/suggestions opinions.
Thanks in advance!

Learning a new programming language is a great strategy for any career-minded developer. But with so many to choose from, ranging from programming staples to ultra-niche, which one should you learn?
Certain core languages are always in demand. If you're proficient in SQL, Java or JavaScript, any of the Cs, Ruby, PHP, or Python, you're already employable and should be able to find a decent job. But if you want a fantastic, high-paying job, there are some languages that can help you get there.
Here are six of the most promising new languages that show potential for high demand in the near future.
Opa: A unified, secure web app developer
Traditional web app creation involves three database components — browser-side, server-side, and backend — that are usually written in three different languages, and then connected together. Opa streamlines this process by allowing you to write the entire application within the Opa framework. A compiler automates client and server code creation, and also builds the communication structure to bridge them.
With Opa, you can customize the code if the automated compiler doesn't produce the enforcements you need. It's scalable, fully compatible with JavaScript, and uses automatic verification to reduce debugging time.
Scala: High flexibility for existing environments
While it's not especially "new," since it was introduced in 2003, business interest in Scala is currently on the rise. Scala is short for "scalable language," and the platform is designed for easy use with any size project, from tiny programs to large-scale enterprise applications.
Developers enjoy using Scala because of its flexibility, ease of use, and high concurrency, while organizations are keen on its inter-operational capacities. Scala is compatible with Java and JVMs, as well as the Android platform. It also works with popular integrated development environments (IDEs) like NetBeans, Eclipse, and IntelliJ, as well as frameworks like Hibernate and Spring.
Erlang: Streamlining concurrency
Similar to Scala in that it's not particularly new (the language was released in 1986 and open sourced in 1998), but it's experiencing a rise in interest, Erlang is primarily designed to build large-scale applications with high availability. Some of the desirable features of this language include concurrency with popular platforms and environments, language-level features that help simplify concurrent programming, and hot swapping that enables code modification or updating without shutdown.
Two of the biggest names in technology analytics and research — Mark Driver of Gartner and Jeffrey Hammond of Forrester — have suggested that Erlang is likely to proliferate rapidly in the near future.
Go: The language of the cloud
This language, also known as Golang, has a fairly influential backer: Google. An open source, traditional language that's similar to C, Go was written expressly for use in the cloud and includes built-in features like concurrency and garbage collection. It's also a fast language, able to compile large applications on a single computer in just a few seconds.
As a programming language, Go has a steep learning curve. But it's already been used to write well-known projects like Docker and Force.com, and interest in developers who can use Go is fairly high and increasing.
Dart: A better version of JavaScript
This open source language, also developed by Google, is intended to replace JavaScript. It's fairly easy for developers who already know JavaScript to learn, and it has additional capacities that JS doesn't — such as easy building for large-scale, multi-developer Web apps.
Ceylon: The modular Java
While Ceylon is based on Java, it was designed to kill the popular programming language. Ceylon was developed specifically to enable teams to write large programs, so one of its key features is modularity. The language organizes code into modules and packages, and then compiles it to module archives, which are published in a central repository.
Ceylon comes with command-line tools and an Eclipse-based IDE, and interoperates easily with Java and JavaScript VMs.

Maintaining a Kid's Sleep Cycle During Vacation
It's summertime and families everywhere are excited to be packing up and getting ready for vacation. It's been way too long since you've had a break from work and the routine of life, and nothing sounds better than a vacation does right now. Breaking away from the mundane routine of your daily activities is great, but one routine you really don't want to break away from is your child's sleep cycle. Children get trained to sleep when it's time to sleep and really benefit from having a routine so it's important that even on vacation you learn how to keep your children's sleeping cycles in tact so that it doesn't disrupt their precious sleep. Maintaining your kid's sleep cycles during vacation may be as easy as planning ahead for the travel, bringing a portable crib, creating a safe sleeping space and paying attention to cues. Here goes nothing!
Before You Go
One of the first things you need to do when attempting to maintain your child's sleep cycle on vacation is to plan ahead for traveling with a toddler. Whether you are driving yourself or taking an airplane, be prepared for them to rest in the car or plane so that they are not awake simply because they are not comfortable. Bring a pillow or a small neck rest if you're on an airplane and choose flight times that coincide with your child's sleeping routine to make things easier and get a good start to your vacation.
Bring a Portable Crib
Another way to ensure you are maintaining your kid's sleep cycle while on vacation is to bring a portable crib with you. Some kids simply cannot sleep in a foreign place because they are so young and just got used to sleeping in their own bed. That's why if you bring a portable crib with you or at least one that resembles what they are used to sleeping in, they will feel more at home and therefore able to fall asleep at the appropriate time.
Create a Safe Sleeping Place
Kids and sleeping is a tough balance to keep while on vacation but if you are able to create a safe and comfortable sleeping area for them they're far more likely to be able to fall asleep. Keeping that sleeping routine will come down to how comfortable the child is and how safe they feel. Kids get easily frightened at night when it's dark and being in a strange place adds to that disruption of sleep. As the parent, figure out how and what you need to do in order to make your child feel safe and sound while they slumber.
Pay Attention to the Cues
Finally, if you're trying to maintain your kid's sleep cycle you need to be able to read the cues. Children have a way of telling you what they want and when they want it simply by giving cues. Whether it be a cry, a fuss or just a temper tantrum from a toddler, you need to always be paying attention to your child and able to read the cues he/she gives you. That way you know for sure if your child is tired or not. If you suspect tiredness earlier than usual it's important to put your child to bed and let him rest so that he doesn't get overtired and then can't sleep at all.
Kids and sleeping is a very tricky balance but once perfected it's a life saver for both you and them. Tired kids aren't happy kids and you want to be able to have fun and enjoy your vacation, fuss-free!

Weekly Round Up: Friday 24th July
It was one of those weeks that brought with it a real mix of tour news. We had Misfits announcing their return to New Zealand for three shows in December. On the other end of the sonic spectrum, Naughty By Nature are swinging by the country in November for one night of old school jams. In fact, November is set to be pretty busy, that same month will see Florence And The Machine returning to New Zealand for one hair-raising performance, and wry Melbourne-based songstress Courtney Barnett also heading back this way for three concerts.
In local tour news, SJD announced two special shows that will see a string quartet joining him to perform new album Saint John Divine in full along with special guest Shayne P Carter. And Don McGlashan has unleashed a raft of dates that will see him touring the country in support of his latest album Lucky Stars. In festival news, Northern Bass revealed their first line-up announcement, as did the organisers of Raggamuffin. And on a slightly smaller scale, the folk at Flying Out announced a one-day event for September called The Other's Way, which will see 90s icons Garageland playing in their original line up, alongside a whole host of fantastic local acts.
In release news, Kurt Vile let loose the fantastic first single from this forthcoming album b'lieve i'm goin down, along with the revelation the record will be out late September via Matador. Prolific guitar slayer Ty Segall shared a couple of tracks from his trio Fuzz (in which Segall takes up drum duties), in anticipation of releasing their sophomore album later this year. A bit closer to home, New Gum Sarn unveiled a wonderfully dizzying clip to accompany the title-track from their new album New Gold Mountain. The Blue Bloods released not one, but two new EPs and made them available on Bandcamp for streaming. And musical miscreants The Cavemen unleashed a killer video for their track 'Stand By Your Ghoul' from their debut album out later this year through 1:12 Records.
This week's Caught Live is Ryan Adams (who was just on these shores last week) covering Foo Fighters' track 'Times Like These' as a nod to Dave Grohl for soldiering on and performing while having a busted leg...

Norwegian airlines suffered a loss of £133.5 million in the first quarter of 2019. They are reassessing their financial situation since the impermanent global ban was incorporated on MAX 8 operations as the aircraft was involved in two accidents in a short space of time.
The airline currently has eighteen 737 Max 8's and several deliveries have been placed on hold.
The chief executive of Norwegian Airlines said, he has numerous meetings with BA to discuss the negative effects on grounding to eliminate the problems the MAX 8 is causing Norwegian Airlines and the wider industry. He also stated the airline has been doing everything to ensure flights are carried out as normal by using wet lease companies when needed.
After suffering such a drastic loss, the airline intend to recover their profits margins by running an extensive cost-reductions programme and the sale of an, as yet undetermined, aircraft,
Currently, the airline express positivity in their new implementations this quarter despite suffering 737 Max problems. They indicate they have taken serious measurements in increasing profitability.

Tennessee Central Railway No. 801.
17 U.S. Code § 107 fair use
Tennessee Central Railway Overview
Reporting mark: TC
Locale: Tennessee
Dates of operation: 1893–1968
The Tennessee Central Railway
The Tennessee Central Railway was founded in 1884 as the Nashville and Knoxville Railroad by Alexander S. Crawford. It was an attempt to open up a rail route from the coal and minerals of East Tennessee to the mid-state markets, a service which many businessmen felt was not being adequately provided by the existing railroad companies. They also wanted to ship coal and iron ore to the Northeastern US over the Cincinnati Southern Railway, which was leased to the Southern and operated as the Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific Railway (CNOTP), through their Cincinnati gateway. The N&K was only completed between Lebanon, where it connected to a Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway branch from Nashville, and Standing Stone (now Monterey).
By the 1880s railroads were becoming a mature industry and it was not easy for a new competitor to break in. The firm and its successor companies would struggle for decades with both financial woes and hostility from the more established lines. (It was unable to use Nashville's ornate new Union Station terminal for instance, as that was controlled by the rival Louisville and Nashville Railroad and its subsidiary Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis.) The Tennessee Central linked Knoxville directly, by a link to the Southern Railway's subsidiary Harriman and Northeastern from Harriman to Knoxville, with Nashville via a route which ascended the Cumberland Plateau Escarpment at Walden's Ridge between Emory Gap and Crossville. The traditional major route for this passage had been made via Chattanooga.
In 1893, enter the likes of entrepreneur "Colonel" Jere Baxter. He was known as charismatic and regarded as ruthless. Although no money could be found in Tennessee to complete the property that was to be the Tennessee Central, he traveled to St. Louis and eventually found backing. For much of his construction financing, he issued bonds. He organized and constructed four lines that, together with the N&K acquired from the Crawford family, were to become the Tennessee Central. The lines were reorganized in 1902 and renamed the Tennessee Central Railroad. Several versions of this name were used over a period of some thirty years, until the final name, Tennessee Central Railway, was adopted in 1922.
The line expanded slowly and piecemeal to the west and north of Nashville during this period, falling into receivership twice, in 1897 and 1912, on the latter occasion operating in technical insolvency for ten years. Baxter died in 1904, leaving as his heritage the now completed TC, which was unfortunately heavily burdened with debt. Although the company was operating "in the black", they were unable to meet their bonded indebtedness, which was incurred from the building of the line. In 1905, the TC was leased for three years to the IC west of Nashville and the Southern east of Nashville. Due to unprofitable operations, neither line opted to renew their lease. In 1922, a group of investors led by Paul M. Davis bought the railroad at a bankruptcy sale, thus abolishing the bonded indebtedness. They hired former president Hugh Wright Stanley, who operated the line profitably (except during 1932 and 1933) until 1945. The first diesel-electric locomotive switcher was brought to Nashville in 1939 by the TC.
Postwar Years and Decline
Wartime traffic in the early 1940s brightened the financial picture, but after that hard times returned. Despite losses in 1946, a group of investors led by J. L. Armstrong bought out the Davis group. The last of the steam engines were pulled from service in 1952 due to the arrival of four diesel locomotives (along with 200 coal hoppers) financed by a Reconstruction Finance Corporation loan in the amount of $2.2 million. 1954 saw the opening of the first unit of the Tennessee Valley Authority's Kingston coal-fired power generating plant, which was largely fed coal from TC's own on-line coal mines operators. The company dropped money-losing passenger service on July 31, 1955. 1956 saw the TC purchase more diesel locomotives and coal hoppers with another RFC loan. Brief profitability was restored from 1949 through 1956. In 1957 the TVA began awarding contracts to non-TC coal mine operators and their traffic boom went bust. Although the program of right-of-way improvement and new equipment acquisition had been carried out, the firm at length was unable to repay the RFC loans and fell into its third and final receivership in 1968. Its assets were sold off. Much of the Nashville beltline south of Nashville had already been sold to the state to build I-440. The Western Division from the western end of the I-440 right of way in Nashville to Hopkinsville, KY was purchased by the Illinois Central Railroad. The eastern end of the line from Harriman to the siding just west of Crossville went to the Southern Railway. The remaining middle portion from Crossville to Nashville went to its old and not at all friendly rival, the Louisville & Nashville.
At the end of 1956 TC operated 286 miles of road and 377 miles of track; that year it reported 278 million net revenue ton-miles of freight and 1 million passenger-miles. The Tennessee Central endured for over 80 years in the face of very tough odds, and played a considerable part in the economic development of its service region. It is still remembered fondly by many people in the small towns it served as "The Route of Personal Service," and is commemorated by a namesake institution, the Tennessee Central Railway Museum, in its former master mechanic's shop, which also was its headquarters in its final years. An unmarked monument exists in today's Interstate 440 loop south of downtown Nashville, which sits on the old Tennessee Central right-of-way, purchased by the state in the railroad's last years.
Surviving Portions
The trackage between Monterey and Crossville was dismantled by the L&N in the 1980s, which has proven problematic to recent advocates of the restoration of passenger train service between Nashville and Knoxville. The Nashville and Eastern Railroad was formed to revive operation of the line's freight service to Old Hickory and Lebanon, approximately 30 miles east of Nashville, with occasional runs to points somewhat further east over the former L&N owned TC trackage. The N&E once participated in the operation of the Broadway Dinner Train out of Nashville. Today it hosts the Music City Star commuter rail service between Nashville and Lebanon.
In 2000, the Nashville and Western Railroad was formed as subsidiary of the Nashville and Eastern to take over the operation of the old TC from Nashville to Ashland City, which was on the portion originally sold to the IC, but later operated by numerous short lines. The Cumberland River Bicentennial Trail extends approximately 14 miles west from Ashland City on the old TC roadbed. Eventually the Dept. of Defense took over the operation of the old TC from Hopkinsville to Fort Campbell. The rest of the TC line between the Trail's end and Fort Campbell has been abandoned.
At the eastern end, the former Tennessee Central remains in use between Crab Orchard, Tennessee and Rockwood, on the opposite side of Walden's Ridge, by Franklin Industrial Minerals for movement of aggregate products. At Rockwood, Franklin interchanges traffic with Norfolk Southern, which uses the ex-TC the rest of the way from Emory Gap to handle this business.
Tennessee Central Railway Museum
The Tennessee Central Railway Museum (TCRM, reporting mark TCRX) is a railroad museum located in Nashville, Tennessee.
It is a small non-profit facility which is preserving the heritage of rail transport in Tennessee and the central South. The museum's name honors the former Tennessee Central Railway.
The museum maintains a collection of historic rolling stock which it restores and uses for rail excursions in the area, both for fundraising and educational purposes.
It runs an all-volunteer heritage railroad dedicated to preserving, restoring, interpreting, and operating historic railroad equipment. TCRM currently has nine diesel-electric locomotives and thirty other cars/engines.
Inside the freight depot where the museum is located, there are railroad artifacts and memorabilia, a gift shop, and a large room where model train layouts in HO and N scale are displayed.

Although I listened to as much of the speech as I could stand without gagging, I want to go back later and reread. I'm hoping that it won't sound as bad as it did the first time. I wasn't inspired as much as angered by some of the insinuations and thinly veiled criticisms that this speech contained. Personally, I've long been proud of this country and my fellow citizens because of the potential we contain and the daily good that I see. I don't need to be reminded to work to make this country strong. As a military spouse and an American citizen, I understood my duty long ago.
Another knitting project for me to add to the growing list of TBKs. I love the color on this sweater, but I also love the design. Of course, I'd have to actually take the time to measure my gauge so I wouldn't end up with too much ease. I don't so much love the gauge thing, but it wouldn't be a bad thing to get in the habit of doing. Wonder if I could knit this before winter ends.
I really like the construction of this vest. I still like wearing vests in those in-between seasons like spring and summer. Vests are also a great layering piece under a jacket. I originally found this pattern via Ravelry. Wondering if I have enough yarn from an abandoned project to make this. Frantically doing the math in my head.

The hilarious and poignant new novel from the best selling author of The Kicking the Bucket List.
When a boxset of Broadchurch is more appealing than having sex with your husband, then perhaps it's time to hide the remote…
Cait and Matt have been married for 30 years. They are rock solid; an inspiration to others; stuck together like glue – aren't they?
But Cait can't shake off the feeling that something is missing. They are fit and healthy, if a bit skint – but the whole world should be their oyster now that Matt has retired, giving them the time to do those things that really matter – and more importantly – together. So why is she left wondering if this is all there is? Has Matt always been this annoying and infuriating? And where have those ants-in-her-pants suddenly come from?
It's not helped by the reappearance in her life of Tom Lewis, the love of her life who broke her heart at university and who, despite the fact she hasn't she hasn't seen him for decades, is still exerting his magnetic pull.
Her friends are Lorna, who recently lost her husband, and Debs whose husband recently left her. The three women must all question what they want out of the rest of their lives – and how they are going to get it…
"Dancing Over the Hill" is my second Cathy Hopkins's book and oh my word, guys, I just can't wait for more! It was a read filled with fun, laughter and tenderness and it just spoke with me and resonated with me and it was all what I needed at the moment. I was immersed in the story from the very first page, guys, and I really didn't want to put this book down. It was truly fast – paced but not over – done, it was full of brilliant, larger than life characters that the author so incredibly well brought to life, and it just rang a bell or two, it was so relatable. It was also brutally honest and absolutely hilarious, so really, just the best kind of read, evah. I had great expectations for this book, after reading Cathy's previous one, "The Kicking the Bucket List" and I was not disappointed, I probably liked "Dancing Over the Hill" even more.
What I absolutely liked in this story is the fact that the characters are mature ones – people with past, who experienced a lot and they really know what they're talking about. They make mistakes, and oh boy, some really great mistakes, but they are so genuine and honest in all the situations and I just couldn't help and kept everything crossed for them. Cait and Matt have been married for more than 30 years now and they find themselves in a relationship that's, let's say, came to a little standstill. They don't have anything in common anymore, and they just live in one house, next to each other, but as if separate – if you follow me. Probably more out of habit than anything else they're still together. Then, after a whirlwind of events, they find themselves both out of work and the big question, what now, is looming above their heads, and it's not only about their financial situation but also their private lives. Do they want to stay together? It's not so straightforward, as an old flame of Cait suddenly appears on her Facebook, sending her friend request and trying to seduce her again. Then there are also Cait's friends, Lorna and Debs, trying their best to help as best they can, that doesn't always end well, and Matt's brother (oh boy. Guys! Some of the most hilarious scenes I've ever read, please be careful when you decide to talk sex on the phone with your husband!) and Cait's father, and many, many other characters and things. They were open for new stuff and to learn a new lesson or two.
Really guys, there was not a single thing that I didn't enjoy in this novel. It was down to earth and close to life, and with some best one – liners ever. The dialogues were just spot – on, so realistic and genuine, and the situations the characters got themselves into were incredibly hilarious but not too far fetched. There were so many situations that made me laugh out loud, and I fell for all of the characters, that Cathy Hopkins so easily and effortlessly brought to life. She can so well write about feelings and emotions, it was absolutely brilliant. The chapters were just the right length, snappy and kept me glued to the pages.
Cathy Hopkins deserves so much more recognition, and believe me, I'll be shouting about "Dancing Over the Hill" from all the rooftops! This book made me laugh so hard and I couldn't wait to discover what's going to happen. It is this best kind of book when you want to turn the pages as quickly as possible but on the other hand you don't want it to end. It was a brilliant, entertaining story about love, family and finding your priorities, relationships and seeing that grass is not always greener on the other side. It had me emotionally involved and just pushed all the right buttons for me, and I really can't recommend it highly enough! A perfect read!

Help us speak truth to power
Governor Brown vetoed a historic, bi-partisan bill that would have begun to rollback California's catastrophic "War on Drugs." In doing so, he confirmed our worst fears that he cares more about appearing "tough on crime" than advancing good solutions for California, as he prepares to run for re-election. The only way we can stand strong and speak truth to power in times like these is if we're financially independent. We can't be beholden to anyone but YOU, our members. Do you have our back?

Macro-anthropology of emerging technologies
The publication, later this year, of a selection of published articles of mine (some co-authored with colleagues) with Routledge, under the title of 'Nanotechnology and Its Governance', is an occasion for me to reflect on the life and times of emerging technologies, taking nanotechnology as a case. I argue that we can see "domestication" (Silverstone) happening, but at the macro- and meso-level. We have contributed to nano-domestication by our work on Constructive Technology Assessment, but the collection does not focus on CTA. It takes the reader through the story of its creation, in 2000, as a socio-political entity (with its own origin myth after-the-fact, Feynman 1959), and the societal agenda-building and de-facto governance in the first decades of the 21st century. There's also my little essay on "folk theories" of nano-technologists. And my article, with Douglas Robinson, on CTA and the methodology of "insertion" (overtones of anthropology again). A final reflection is Panglossian: why worry about newly emerging technologies if they will be domesticated anyway, in this "best of all possible worlds"?

The Fitness Zone
Meditation is renowned for the positive psychological changes it engenders; however, a recent study suggests it increases cellular health as well.
According to researchers at the University of California, the positive psychological changes during meditation are due to increased amounts of activity by the telomerase enzyme. A product of the US-based Shamantha Project, the study was published in the journal Psychoneuroendocrinology. The Shamantha Project is the most comprehensive long term study of the effects of meditation to date.
We have found that meditation promotes positive psychological changes, and that meditators showing the greatest improvement on various psychological measures had the highest levels of telomerase' said Clifford Saron, associate research scientist at the UC Davis Center for Mind and Brain and leader of the Shamantha Project.
Researchers measured the telomerase activity in thirty Shamantha Project participants at the end of a three-month stint at a meditation retreat. The study found that telomerase activity was about one-third higher in the white blood cells of participants who had completed the retreat than in a matched group of controls.
The project is yielding more than one discovery. Katherine MacLean, a recent University of California PhD graduate now at Johns Hopkins University, reported that meditation increases attention span, a report soon to be published in Psychological Science.
This work is among the first to show a relation between positive psychological change and telomerase activity. Because the finding is new, it should serve to inspire future studies to replicate and extend what we found' said University of California postdoctoral scholar and lead author Tonya Jacobs.

Police falsely accuse sporting legend of stealing sunglasses
ONE of Queensland's leading jockeys has been arrested at a Brisbane shopping centre and falsely accused of stealing sunglasses.
Jim Byrne, a top jockey for nearly 30 years, and whose mounts earned more than $5 million last season, was subjected to what he described as the most embarrassing moment of his life, at Westfield Chermside on Friday.
Mr Byrne said he was approached by two police officers while he and his family were having lunch at Chermside restaurant Motto Motto.
"They told us they had CCTV footage of us shoplifting four pairs of sunglasses ... and I said 'well pull it out and then you can let us go because it ain't us' but they wouldn't listen" he said.

Subject: English as a Second Language
What is a very common mistake made by English as a Second Language Speakers of all levels and abilities?
A very common mistake made by English as a Second Language Speakers of all levels and abilities is to drop the determiner "a" in spoken conversation. For example: "Man walks." The more natural sounding sentence could be: "A man walks." Though the determiners "a" and "an" are taught at an early level of English as a Second Language instruction, and most students know how to use them, and why to use them, they are easy to forget to use in conversational English. Dropping "a" and "an" does not impede comprehension by a native speaker, but is it a little thing that stops an English as a Second Language speaker from sounding natural. One of the most effective ways of remembering to use "a" and "an" correctly, is to have an ESL instructor gently remind you that are dropping these determiners during English Second Language classes, as it would often be considered rude for a native English speaker to correct a Second Language speaker in every day conversation.

Describe the difference between Gothic and Neo-Gothic.
Gothic Art and Architecture developed during the European Middle Ages. It was characterised by the use of long narrow forms, rich patterning, and the decorative and structural use of the pointed arch. It was dominant in Western Europe from about the 12th Century, until it was gradually replaced by Renaissance Classical Styles during and after the Italian Renaissance. Famous examples of gothic architecture include: Saint Denis, and Chartes Cathedral. Neo-Gothic, or the Gothic Revival, developed in England at the end of the 18th Century initially in reaction against various classical revivals, and within the context of a taste for the picturesque. The Neo-Gothic spread throughout Western Europe, and to the European Colonies. A famous example of neo-gothic is the Houses of Parliment in London, England. Neo-Gothic is one of many styles that were revived during the 19th Century which characterised 19th Century ecceclicism.
Subject: AP Art History
In your own words, how would you describe the difference between the Florentine School of Painting and the Venetian School of Paining? Why is this significant for later developments?
The Florentine School of Painting placed an emphasis on designo or design. This meant that paintings were carefully prepared through preparatory drawings that explored composition, linear perspective, and lighting. Colour was added at the final stage. The Venetian School of Painting placed an emphasis on colour harmony. The difference between these two approaches lies in the contrast between an approach that is spatially conceived and appeals to the intellect, and an approach that is visceral and appeals to the emotions. These contrasting approaches, while not mutually exclusive, set up a tension within Western European Painting developed from the Italian Schools, and were to have ramifications for centuries. A famous example of this is the debate between the Poussinistes and the Rubenists in the 16th Century French Academy.

It is inspiring that Michael Kutza, Founder and Artistic Director-Cinema/Chicago and the International Film Festival, has graced Chicago with outstanding film festivals for 52 years. According to Wikipedia "The Chicago International Film Festival is an annual film festival held every fall. Founded in 1964 by Michael Kutza, it is the longest-running competitive film festival in North America." This year promises to be outstanding. When asked about the theme this year being musicals, he explained that when the musical La La Land became available to the festival in June, he chose musicals as the festival's them, which he says could be the theme every year. Mimi Plauché, Chicago International Film Festival programming director wasn't convinced, because she wasn't sure that enough musicals could be brought in. Interestingly, once La La Land came, many others followed from all over the world. Plauché wasn't surprised to have an entry from Bollywood but those from Finland and the Israeli/Palestinian films surprised her.
Kutza mentioned that his favorite movies include Citizen Kane, Singing in the Rain, films by Ingmar Bergman and Charlie Chaplin, well represented this year. The role that Geraldine Chaplin is taking in this year's festival is very important on many levels. The festival points out that, "One of the best parts of the Chicago International Film Festival is the opportunity to celebrate the filmmakers, producers, actors and actresses who create the movies we showcase every year. This year is no exception, as we welcome Hollywood legend Geraldine Chaplin for a once-in-a-lifetime tribute to the Silver Hugo winning actress and daughter of Charlie Chaplin and Oona O'Neill."
In addition to a special Festival Tribute on October 14, Geraldine Chaplin was named the President of the 52nd Chicago International Film Festival's International Feature Competition jury. As such, she leads a renowned group of film professionals and personalities in the selection of this year's winner of the Gold Hugo, the Festival's top honor. Also on this year's International Feature Competition jury are filmmakers Juan Taratuto (It's Not You, It's Me), Yulene Olaizola León (Shakespeare and Victor Hugo's Intimacies), and David Verbeek (R U THERE) and actor/producer Chin Han (The Dark Knight). Extended biographies for members of this year's impressive International Feature Competition jury are below; the International Feature Competition is made possible with the support of Penelope R. and Robert Steiner. More information about the 52nd Chicago International Film Festival
On October 15th, the Essanay Studios – the historic early film studio in the heart of Chicago – is offering an evening of cocktails, hors 'deouvres and a conversation with Chaplin, star of Doctor Zhivago, Nashville, The Age of Innocence, Bolero, and Talk to Her. Founder and artistic director Michael Kutza joins Chaplin in conversation as she receives the Festival's Career Achievement Award."
The Essanay Stuios where Charlie Chaplin made 15 movies including The Tramp is now St. Augustine College. Its main meeting hall is the Charlie Chaplin Auditorium where Geraldine Chaplin is to be honored on October 15th, though Chaplin was only at the studio for one year. Michael Kutza 's first Chicago International Film Festival was also located at the Essanay Studios.
Claude Lelouche, filmmaker, spoke about his interest in revisiting his earlier film. A Man and A Woman, with his current film UN+UNE and finds that relationships between men and women remain the same while so many things change.
The Festival honors international documentary filmmaking with a jury comprised of film curator Livia Bloom (Icarus Films), filmmaker Dan Rybicky (Almost There) and art-house distributor Blandine Mercier-McGovern (Cinema Guild). The Documentary Competition is sponsored by SundanceNow Doc Club. Those first and second feature films included in the New Directors Competition (sponsored by Columbia College Chicago and the John and Jacolyn Bucksbaum Family Foundation) will be reviewed and awarded by jury members Patricio Castilla, cinematographer and author, Helen du Toit, independent producer, and Nick Allen, assistant editor and film critic at RogerEbert.com. The New Directors Competition jury will also present the Roger Ebert Award, given to a filmmaker with a fresh and uncompromising vision and whose work allows audiences to enter into and empathize with, the lives of all types of people.
The range of films and activities will keep Chicagoans and visitors to Chicago involved and rewarded until October 27th. This is a gift to movie buffs and the industry from Chicago.

When Bigastro closed the emergency night service at the Health Centre, they fired the concierge to save money. At first Antonio Giménez was offered no compensation, then he was offered a post at the eco-park. When the emergency service was reinstated, he was given his post back but on a lower grade with less pay. Giménez took the matter to court where is was decided that he had been unfairly dismissed. However he does not know how much compensation he will be given nor when.
Giménez is aware that there were a number of people who were fired two years ago but have not, as yet, received a cent. As the saying goes, "you cannot get blood out of a stone" and as we all know Bigastro is broke.

Seattle Academy's Jazz II choir walked off the Pacific Vocal Jazz festival stage, proud and elated, heading toward their professional critique. They were met with a smackdown. All their hard work, every detail of their performance was torn apart and advised to do the exact opposite.
They walked away dispirited. Their director told them not to listen, reminding them that they had proven themselves in front of the entire Pacific Northwest vocal community. But Madolyn Laurine went home believing they didn't have a chance at a callback. Late that night she got a phone call from her director.
"We did it, we got the callback," he said.[perfectpullquote align="right" cite="" link="" color="#b30000″ class="" size="18″]
Bio Box Info:
· Name: Madolyn Laurine
· Hometown: Seattle
· School: Seattle Academy
· Media/Publication: The Cardinal newspaper
· Position: Editor in Chief
· Grade: 12
And then she knew the disparaging remarks of the critic weren't defining. She knew not only had they proven themselves to the community, they had proven they were passionate and that's what matters most.
Her tiedye shirt and bright blue-turquoise colored hair can be seen from miles away. She walks with an air of self-confidence seen rarely among teenagers. Laurine currently attends Seattle Academy, where she's a part of the vocal jazz program and editor-in-chief of the school newspaper, The Cardinal.
She plans to apply early decision to Ithaca College's Park School of Communication to study broadcast journalism. Studying journalism is a safety move, a practical career choice while her true passion is singing.
"When I was 6 I did a school talent show and I remember one of my teachers told me I was wise beyond my years," Laurine said.
At 6 years old she didn't know much about wisdom, but she did know about music. She knew that music has always been a natural part of who she is. She understands now that her wisdom comes through in her music.
"I have a feeling I have always been secretly telling people things about myself through my musical career," she said.
Through adding emotion and emphasis in her performances Madolyn shares her experiences and her story with the world, always striving to create a deep connection between the audience and performer.
"Music is special for me because it is a shared thing between myself and the audience," she said."It's all about the way that you try and make that connection with other people and that's what tells your story."
Heading into her future, Laurine never doubts the importance of staying true to her passion.
"I know that if I stop following music I won't be the person that I truly am," she said.
For now her plan is to think in the moment, enjoy the best parts of senior year and remember to never stop singing, no matter where she is or what she is doing or who is listening.
"I have to enjoy the things that are going to make me the person that I am, not just try and get to being that final end product."

From Kenzo's star-studded lineup to Acne Studios' family affair
If you've recently been feeling like fashion never seems to stop, then you wouldn't be wrong. Beyond the traditional runway shows that happen twice a year, there are now more Cruise and Pre-Fall shows than ever, as well as limited edition collections and collaborations in-between. On top of all of that, there are also the collection campaigns – giving a fresh take on the collections as they drop in stores. There are brands like Gucci who choose to transport you to a far-off location. Or those like Kenzo that go down the route of a star-studded cast, enlisting the likes of Maya Rudolph, Matt Lucas and Natasha Lyonne – the latter of which is directing an upcoming film for the brand to be released later this year. And finally, there are those who get the whole family involved like Acne Studios' take, that includes gay dads Kordale Lewis and Kaleb Anthony photographed by Inez & Vinoodh surrounded by their four children.

Visit his website at www.goyogawithjoe.com WATCH OUR GOAT YOGA VIDEO HERE FAQs What is Goat Yoga? Goat Yoga is a gentle class combining the benefits of yoga with the fun-loving connection with goats. Goats are silly creatures that will bring you joy and laughter all while calming your soul and de-stressing your body and mind. Where is the class held? The class is held at "Flowertown Charm" which is our home & business and urban mini-farm in the heart of Summerville, SC. We have opened up our mini farm and partnered with "Yoga with Joe" to teach this class in our "backyard" mini farm. Our backyard is beautifully landscaped under the trees, very serene & peaceful, NOT smelly or dirty like a normal farm might be. Who is the yoga instructor? Our yoga instructor is Joe, who teaches classes all over the Lowcountry. He has been active in the yoga community for over 8 years and has traveled the world learning about the birth of yoga and its different practices. Visit his website at www.joevinciguerra.com What makes your goat yoga class different from others? When we decided to start Goat Yoga here in the Lowcountry, we did a lot of research and months of planning. We decided to make our classes more intimate, so it wasn't crowded with too many guests here at one time. No gimmicky goat costumes, just goats being cute naturally. And we incorporate a full yoga class, so you can have a workout while you're being distracted by their silliness! But most of all what makes us different is being in a beautiful environment so you can de-stress and enjoy it. We worked hard on our setup so it is pretty and peaceful, the complete opposite of a muddy smelly farm most goat yoga classes are held on! We want you to be able to take in the whole experience and feel at peace. Smiling on the inside and out! So although we are on a small-scale, we think you will get more out of our class than most others. What are the goat's names? We have 3 goats currently, Magnolia & Wisteria, are 3-year-old sisters, and then we have 1 baby, Camellia! Do I need to bring my own mat? Yes, bring your own OLD mat and/or a towel. The yoga class will be held on a grassy lawn. We do have a couple of extra mats if you don't have one. The goats sometimes like to chew on mats! So please don't bring a nice one! Do I have to participate in the yoga class or can I just play with the goats? This is a very casual class, meant to de-stress and provide a fun & playful yoga practice. We hope you do try some poses, however, you can just sit on your mat and snuggle goats too… Is there a bathroom? YES! What is the age requirement? We require all participants to be age 10 and older, and all participants must purchase a ticket. Can my friends and family come? Yes if they purchase a ticket and are 10 years and older. We do not allow folks to just come and watch. If you have a young one that would like to meet the goats we also offer Airbnb to stay at our historic farmhouse, so come and stay with us! We do not allow drop-ins for this class, as we have a limited class size. What breeds of goats do you have? We have Nigerian Dwarf Goats, right now we have 2 sisters, they weigh about 50lbs and are the size of a medium-sized dog. Our baby is maybe 15-20lbs now. Do you have other animals on the mini-farm? YES! We have chickens, barn cats, and dogs! We bring one of our dogs, Winter, to class, the rest stay inside. We let the chickens roam during the class as well. The cats are always around. We also have bees on our mini-farm. They are behind a separate fenced area and should not bother the class. Do your goats bite or headbutt? Our goats do headbutt each other when playing and showing off. They like to nibble on clothes, hair, and fingers, so although it is cute, just pull away if you do not want a haircut! Also, their back teeth are very sharp, so please do not allow them to nibble too deep on your fingers! OUCH! Will there be poop? YES! But goats poops are very small "berry" like pellets that don't smoosh, are odorless, and you can simply shake it away off your mat into the grass. It also makes great manure if you would like to bring a bag and take some home with you, completely complimentary! Will there be hand sanitizer? Absolutely! Are there any baby goats? We have 1 baby goat right now, Camellia. We will have baby goats being born in Spring 2020 probably. Will there be alcohol? We cannot provide alcohol at this time. However, you can bring your own to enjoy after class during goat happy hour! We suggest something light; beer, wine, champagne. We provide cups. Please note containers must be unopened when arriving and leaving the property on the little walk to and from your vehicle. What if it is a rainy or stormy day? We will most likely reschedule the class as goats HATE the rain! Do you sell any goods from your mini-farm? Yes, we do. We will have some goods for sale after the class such as; farm fresh eggs, goats milk soaps, honey, soy candles, goat greeting cards, and other home & gift items we sell here at Flowertown Charm. Visit our Etsy shop at www.etsy.com/shop/flowertowncharm Are there refunds? No, we do not issue refunds unless the class is canceled due to the weather. I have more questions? email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
