text: "No to investing more in the arms sale than in development cooperation, international repatriation agreements, and humanitarian corridors: we have to free ourselves from this hypocrisy". Monsignor Nunzio Galantino, Secretary General of the Italian Bishops' Conference (CEI), said this at the presentation of the World Day of Migrants and Refugees, announcing the signature, on 12 January, of "a protocol agreement with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the opening of a 'humanitarian corridor' with Ethiopia for refugees coming from Eritrea and Somalia, which will receive funding from the 8×1000 contributions". The CEI Secretary General rejected "the closing of all legal ways to enter our country", for this fuels "illegal immigration, exploitation, the black market, and violence", but said he was in favour of "a residence permit for those entitled to humanitarian or social protection, namely young people, men and women who have been residing in CAS Centres (Extraordinary Reception Centres) or in preliminary reception centres for over a year, those who have started schooling or have made themselves available for socially useful works or already have a job contract; those who were able to, or hopefully will soon be able to, do civic service, as well as those who have a disability or a serious condition, or those who are fleeing terrorism or natural disasters". "Starting again from legality – he pointed out – is an act of political wisdom which should not be confused – let us put it bluntly – with the proposal of nurturing illegality and creating insecurity for both migrants and the territory".

>Hey curvy girls, I had an awesome weekend. As a proud Brooklynite I went down to visit the plus size resale store ReDress NYC in the Boreum Hill section of Brooklyn. If you don't know about ReDress you can take a look at their blog at ReDress NYC. They are the only plus size resale store in NYC that sells vintage and current plus size clothing in sizes 14 and up. They offer a great selection of sizes and budget friendly prices. This past weekend they hosted a shopping event with Plus Model Magazine. Deb the owner was gracious enough to allow Stylish Curves to come in and shoot a little video of some of the new things that had in store. This is Stylish Curves 1st video, so please excuse some of the mistakes and constant blinking of my eyes.
Sorry guys-the video is not showing up well. Needs more editing.
This RESALE store is not like any other and they had some awesome trendy yet modern clothes that fit like a dream. Here are some of the dresses I tried on.

The Mysterious Migration of Kit
Time is pressing on all sides and in amongst the immovable engagements and deadlines we have inflexible train tickets to head up to Milngavie later this week.
With food in the dehydrator, belatedly-washed clothes drying on the rack and a big list of other things to get done, it was time to pack. Once again I was being ridiculously optimistic that, having put nothing back in the kit cupboard, it would all be in one place and easy to locate. Unsurprisingly, the usual state of affairs prevailed: kit had mysteriously migrated into every which corner.
After many repetitions of "Have you seen my XXX", I've given up for tonight.
I'm now printing maps instead.

It's unavoidable Gayle and I thought it was only me that suffered from transmigratory gear. In May this year I decided without exception any items smaller than my sleeping bags(loosed stuffed) would live in a Scarpa Boot box.ReplyDelete
These items now occupy 3 similar boxes for different types of walk, and still I find things have when pre trip packing that things have gone walkabout.
Hi M&G. I'm reading your blog at the same time as watching a program about Chaos Theory! Good luck with your next adventure.ReplyDelete
Have a great trip you two - 'fraid I won't be able to intercept you this time due to another commitment.ReplyDelete
I know the feeling about the gear - I seem to have to go through every box of kit for every trip. Have you looked in the washing machine?

Orthodontics is progressing as quickly as every other aspect of dentistry and our Specialist Orthodontist's choice of appliance is from the ground-breaking 3M Unitek™range.
Clarity™ Ceramic Braces
Clarity Advance ™ Ceramic Braces work like metal braces. They are frequently chosen by patients who wish to choose a more cosmetic solution to aligning their teeth because they blend in with your teeth for a great look. They are the perfect combination of strength and beauty, so you can keep smiling during, and after your treatment.
- Translucent, designed to blend in with your teeth
- Small and smooth for your comfort
- Smile all you want, there's no staining
- Clarity advance brace are trusted and used by orthodontists worldwide
Self-Ligating Braces (No Rubber bands)
Standard braces use tiny elastic bands to hold the wire onto your braces. Advancements in technology now bring self-ligating braces onto the scene. Instead of rubber bands, Self-Ligating Braces use a clip to hold the wire in place, so your teeth may stay cleaner and you can spend less time in your orthodontist's chair.
John and Karen use combinations of both standard and self-ligating braces to make the most efficient combination of appliances individualised for each case.
Clarity™ SL Self-Ligating Braces
Clarity™ SL Self-Ligating Braces provide all of the benefits of self-ligating braces with the added advantage of translucent ceramic. Clarity Braces blend in with your teeth and provide a smooth, comfortable and extremely durable fit. This was John's choice when he treated himself a couple of years ago!
- Engineered to move your teeth efficiently.
- Durable, translucent ceramic blends with your teeth
- Potential for fewer and faster appointments
- Allows for easy cleaning and reduces plaque build-up
- Smooth, molded edges provide added comfort
Metal Braces (Silver)
Many adults still have painful memories of the big clunky braces from the past. Luckily, times have changed, and so have metal braces. Modern braces are smaller and more comfortable than ever before with low profiles and strong adhesives. At The Priors we use Victory series™ brackets from 3M Unitek.
- Smaller braces enhance comfort and aesthetics
- High bond strength provides firm, corrective forces
- Unique natural curvature provides maximum contact and comfort
- Smooth finish is easier on the lips and gums
Metal braces with colored bands have become a popular new way to decorate teeth or have silver bands to make them less obvious.
Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs)
In the old days orthodontists used headgear (a cap on the back of the head) to help hold the back teeth steady while they moved the front teeth into the position. We haven't used headgear for many years now, instead we use small titanium pins called TADs. These are placed comfortably with a small local anaesthetic and help guide more complex tooth movements. They are removed once they have completed their task avoiding the need for headgear.
Clear Aligners
If fixed braces are not your thing then our team are also accredited in the use of clear aligner systems such as Invisalign and Orthocaps .
These types of braces have become very popular over the past 10 year reflecting the requests for a maximally aesthetic solution to moving teeth. They use clear plastic retainers which gradually adapt the teeth into their new position. They have limitations in the types of tooth movements and the quality of the end result they can achieve and so are not suitable for every patient.

Technology enables both customers and employees to be more effective in getting and providing service. Through self-service technologies customers can serve themselves more effectively. For example, via online banking customers can access their accounts, check balances, apply for loans, shift money among accounts, and take care of just about any banking need they might have—all without the assistance of the bank's employees. Self-service technologies are proliferating across industries.
For employees, technology can provide tremendous support in making them more effective and efficient in delivering service. Customer relationship management and sales support software are broad categories of technology that can aid front line employees in providing better service. By having immediate access to information about their product and service offerings as well as about particular customers, employees are better able to serve them. This type of information allows employees to customize services to fit the customer's needs. They can also be much more efficient and timely than in the old days when most customer and product information was in paper files or in the heads of sales and customer service representatives.

No door to bathroom No blackouts in bathroom
Great location and the hotel staff very friendly,very clean and helpful. They even extended our check out time for her which was very kind. One little sugestions more choice of tea bags (I like mint tea) Thanks again great stay will be back
My only niggle related to a small item in that having had a good nights sleep on my first night I awoke and decided I'd like a coffee which I enjoy with a couple of little milk containers. There was only one on the tray! Next morning I woke went to make coffee and there was no milk! I left a note asking for milk to be left and when I got back to my room that night I checked the milk situation and counted eight little containers! I know this may seem trivial but it is these little things which add to the overall picture of how an establishment is being run.
Had a lovely time at this superb hotel.. reception really friendly and helpful.. room was very clean, very comfortable beds and nice bathroom. Took my mum there for her 80th birthday and there was chilled Prosecco, chocolates and a birthday card from the hotel. Breakfast was faultless.. clean restaurant with a lovely selection of cold hot options.. great stay from start to finish.. would highly recommend.
best things about the Strand Palace are the guys who greet you as you enter the hotel and talk to you. they know all about the area and can guide you to what you want to find. They provide continuity when you go back to the hotel. they are all good blokes.
As I have stayed at the Strand Palace on numerous occasions must speak for and any questions you might have about staying there, you could not choose a better hotel.
Nice cosy refurbished double room. Everything thing lived up to our expectations. Very short walk to convent Garden. Great location
Well designed modern hotel Great breakfast
I stayed in the newly refurbished single bed rooms on floor 3. Yes small but the attention to details is not skimped on. On-suite lovely, clean and all the free toiletries available. Tea/coffee facilities including the free biscuit provided. Love the new look, and for the price and the location as a single traveler, nothing to disappoint. Big thank you to the house keeping team.
Big Old Hotel - Character and great fun bar- rooms clean good linen and comfortable bed and pillows - lifts need programming can be slow

This is maybe my sixth or eighth time re-reading this book. It's one of my "feel-good books," a go-to when I am feeling the need for both entertainment and the comfort of the familiar. Some people watch movies over and over to get this, but for me it's books. Kay's books tell stories I enjoy in a way that I like. The storylines linger on relationships between people and how influential those relationships are, but there are also politics and wars and romances and magic and intrigues. I always like Kay's imaginary worlds; Arbonne and its neighbouring countries are no exception.
Sometimes I am a little frustrated that Kay relies so much on problematic gender stereotypes. While I do understand that the fantasy genre is fairly reliant on those stereotypes, Kay's imagination and transformation of those tropes in so many other ways makes it all the more disappointing that he doesn't take one step further and actually imagine a world where women—even in a country like Arbonne where women ostensibly wield great power—aren't still subject to arranged marriages, sexual violence, and laws / customs decreeing obedience and submission to their husbands. Also, all the heroes and heroines are always beautiful and handsome, which I understand is another genre convention but gets rather tiresome, since the corollary is that the ugly or disfigured people are the bad ones.
But this is not a violent book, don't get me wrong. As with many of Kay's other books, it's a lovely story, beautifully told, with complex characters who are given room to grow and change their perspectives and opinions over time. The only thing I didn't like so much about this particular book was that the ending was kind of deus ex machina, and wasn't really thought through to how it might cause more problems than it solved (I can't say more because spoilers). But even this was nicely done, and it was a plot twist that is not actually unusual for the genre. It's just that once in a while Kay tries to out-clever himself, I think, and gets a bit carried away.
I liked it, and will read it again (and again, probably). The characters and countries, the feuds and loyalties, everything is so beautifully described and fitted into place. It's a book I like to read when I am stressed because I know every twist and turn, so I am not surprised by what happens (as when I first read it), but am carried along a familiar and pleasant path. In the end, mostly good things happen to good people, and mostly bad things happen to bad people, but almost nobody is purely good or purely bad.
Coincidentally, this book might be in The Reader's Room's March Madness Reading Challenge. I voted in their poll today and saw this book there as a contender, as well as Room, which I reviewed last year, and which I loved.
A while back, I reviewed one of Kay's other books: The Lions of Al-Rassan. I glanced over that review when I dug out the link and I see that I had made many of the same points as in this one, although somewhat more long-windedly, right down to the bit about Kay trying to be too clever. Oh well, at least I am consistent in my opinions!
A Song for Arbonne, by Guy Gavriel Kay. 1992.

Book Now
March 2018
It is National Bed Month! Meaning, the press and TV will be full of advertisements telling you to think about when you last replaced your mattress to help you get a great night's sleep.
It might not just be that saggy mattress keeping you awake at night
However, what if it isn't your mattress sagging in the middle that's keeping you awake at night or making you feel tired and grumpy the next day?
There are lots of reasons people find it difficult to get a good night's sleep and loads of advice out there on the web to try. One thing though most people will never have heard of is a treatable medical condition called Sleep Apnoea.
Sleep apnoea is characterised by loud, consistent snoring and restless activity during the night sometimes your partner might notice that you "stop breathing" for a few moments. The most common type of sleep apnoea is obstructive sleep apnoea.
This occurs when the muscles in your throat relax while you sleep. Your throat closes completely, and you temporarily stop breathing. Other reasons that cause an obstruction in your throat can be a large tongue, obesity or weak muscles in your airway.
When you stop breathing, there is not enough oxygen in your blood, so your brain briefly wakes you up, so you can breathe again. This means that throughout the night you keep waking up, possibly hundreds of times, causing you to be extremely sleepy the following day.
About 10% of the population suffer from sleep apnoea but about 90% of them are undiagnosed.
Why does it matter if I snore?
Well besides your partner getting upset and annoyed with you when they are having disturbed sleep night after night and threatening to make you sleep on the sofa, there is a serious side to it.
Left untreated Sleep apnoea can lead to both short and long-term health issues such as:
However, one of the most frequent things is driving and work-related accidents. It is estimated that 20 – 25% of accidents on European roads are due to sleepiness at the wheel.
Who might be at risk of Sleep Apnoea?
Either men or women but for some reason men are more so are prone to it. This may be to do with body fat distribution. Suffers tend to be over 40 but that doesn't mean you cannot get it at any age, with a large neck circumference (16 inches in women and 17 inches in men). People who smoke and/or drink alcohol especially before bed are more likely to suffer. For women who have gone through the menopause its more common and thought to be due to hormone levels.
What should I look out for?
Night time symptoms include;
Daytime symptoms include;
What can I do about it?
At the Sleep Clinic at Kingsbridge Private Hospital, our nurses carry out a full investigation into your sleep pattern. We can not only provide a diagnosis of Sleep Apnoea but we can also offer a range of treatments to give you and your family peace of mind and a real night's sleep.

CBS, FOX, and NBC all realize that these men know enough about the game to contribute commentary and analysis from time to time but not enough of a personality to be seen and heard for the entire duration of a game.

ARMED with a deck of cards, a handkerchief and a biscuit, a magician has cleared a space for himself in the pages of the world record books.
Martin Rees, who grew up and began learning his craft in Weymouth, became the Guinness World Record holder for most magic tricks performed in a wind tunnel on Thursday May 7.
At AirKix in Milton Keynes, he battled against winds exceeding 150mph to perform some sleight of hand for an audience of officials and witnesses.
He said: "I was training for this world record attempt to help raise funds for Spread a Smile.
"I couldn't have imagined all the incredible support I would receive from people.
"Going into the wind tunnel was nerve-wrecking, I was so nervous about making sure I remembered everything I needed to do and staying in the correct position to fly properly."
Three minutes and eight magic tricks later, the 27 year old emerged from the tunnel a wind-swept record holder.
Independent timekeeper Faye Hickey, a fitness instructor with Nuffield Health, confirmed his success.
Witness statements and footage of the attempt will now be bundled off to Guinness for final validation.
Mr Rees said: "I felt an incredible rush of adrenalin when I realised I had done it.
"Setting this world record has taken a lot of training and practice but it has been worth every minute.
"Thank you to all the team at AirKix who have supported and been a huge help."
On July 28, he will fall to earth from 12,500ft for a punt at the world record for the most magic tricks performed on a single sky dive.
By taking on these challenges, he hopes to raise £5,000 for the children's charity Spread a Smile and so far has raised just under £800.
He said: "For over a year I've been visiting Great Ormond Street, University College Hospital and Royal London Hospital with Spread a Smile to perform magic tricks for the children who are being treated and cared for there.
"But the real magic is in seeing the children's reactions and smiles.
"It was this which inspired me to do a sponsored skydive to raise money for the charity.
"At first I had just planned to perform a couple of magic tricks during the skydive, so I could show the kids at the hospitals.
"However, when talking about it with the Spread a Smile team, the idea to try and set a world record was born."

I was last in Hong Kong nearly three years ago and on that visit, I did the rounds of the Leica dealers in the busy Tsim Sha Tsui area of Kowloon. For any photographer, these well-hidden shops (some on the upper floors of high rises) are a revelation — if you can find them. If you are in the market, it's good to steer clear of the tourist stores on Nathan Avenue and find the real enthusiast stores.
While I am away I hope to publish my review of the Leica C-Lux. I've done all the preparation on the iMac at the office and I can polish the final bits on the MacBook from my hotel. William Fagan also has a fascinating photographic tour of Oman which will appear in the next few days. No doubt more new things will crop up.
Looking forward, there is a good chance of a Leica announcement later this month, after I return to London, and I will be bringing all the latest news on that.
As for cameras, I've packed the Leica CL with a couple of lenses, the 28mm f/2.8 Elmarit for walk-around use, and the 35mm f/1.4 Summilux for some close-up action. I resisted taking a zoom because a small corner of my bag has also been reserved for the Sony RX100 Mk.VI which I am able to keep until after the journey. After experiencing the convenience and capability of the C-Lux, I have a feeling the Sony will see more action than planned.
If any Hong Kong readers would like to meet for a coffee and a chat then please get in touch.

John 19:17-42
2 Chronicles 30
Psalm 86
|Listen to the Bible
Thoughts and Commentary on Today's ReadingIn 2 Chronicles chapter 30 we read of a wondrous second Passover (taking place on the fourteenth day of the second month, instead of on the fourteenth day of the first biblical month) - a Passover in which Yahweh healed all the people who attended (2 Chronicles 30:20). It was a Passover so wonderful that they chose to keep it for fourteen days instead of just seven. And in that time, the people experienced the great joy of a an experience that was a foretaste of Heaven!
Hezekiah ranks as one of the best of the kings of Judah. In fact, the Bible chronicler puts him in first place:
2 Kings 18:5-6 - "He trusted in Yahweh God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him. For he clave to Yahweh, and departed not from following Him, but kept His Commandments, which Yahweh commanded Moses".Wow! What an inspiring testimony of a leader who honored Yahweh! What a blessing he was to the Children of Israel back then - in fact, his faithfulness to Yahweh is still blessing God's people even today! (For I am blessed and inspired by his testimony, aren't you?)
His chief claim to fame came from the early part of his reign when he brought about great reforms, especially in attempting to rid the country of idol worship...
The theme of this chapter deals with his re-institution of the Passover, which had fallen into general non-observance after the reign of Solomon approximately three centuries earlier...
Immediately upon becoming king, Hezekiah commenced a great religious reform. In eight days they had re-opened the great Temple of Solomon and cleansed it of defilement (2 Chronicles 29:1-17).
Hezekiah then proceeded to offer a burnt offering, which with the offerings of the people, totaled 600 oxen and 3,000 sheep. There were so many animals that the priests needed to draft the Levites to assist them in the ritual slaughter (2 Chronicles 29:33,34).
With the temple in order Hezekiah proceeded to send a message for the people to assemble to celebrate the Passover. He not only invited his compatriots of Judah, but the northern ten-tribe kingdom representatives through Ephraim and Manasseh. Hezekiah may have felt comfortable inviting his brethren of Israel since there was no king of the northern tribes at that time, Assyria having subjected them.
Since the cleansing of the temple was not completed until the sixteenth day of the first month (Nisan) and the Passover was due to be celebrated on the fourteenth, Hezekiah was faced with a dilemma.
Either they have to wait nearly a full year for the next Passover or celebrate it late. This would explain why he called a council to decide the matter.
Although the Law called for Passover in the first month, the judgment of God was given that in cases of uncleanness, it would be permissible to keep the ceremony the fourteenth day of the second month (Numbers 9:6-11).
The situation in Hezekiah's day was of sufficient similarity to invoke the application of that judgment...
The proclamation was sent throughout the borders of both the northern and southern kingdoms—from Dan to Beersheba.
Since the northern tribes had already been taken captive by Assyria, the proclamation was addressed to "the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hands of the kings of Assyria." Hezekiah's breadth of mind and scope of vision for a united kingdom were not deterred by the fact that his brethren had broken away from him. His was a liberality that reached out to all regardless of the slights and hurts of past history.
However, it was not a message of forgiveness without repentance. He was not asking them to acknowledge their wrongs to their southern brethren, he was pleading with them not to turn from Yahweh as their fathers had done. The message reassured the Israelites that if they would be faithful to their part of the reform, God would be faithful in bringing them back again into one fold...
The reaction to the invitation was mixed. Evidently the majority treated the news with scorn, but some from three tribes—Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun—were humble enough to come to the feast at Jerusalem. The trans-Jordan tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of Manasseh, had already passed into Assyrian captivity and the Simeonites were scattered among the cities of Judah. Thus representatives of six of the twelve tribes—Judah, Benjamin, Simeon, Levi, Naphtali, and Issachar—made the pilgrimage to Jerusalem, so that a great number were on hand for the celebration of the feast...
The first act of preparation was the removal of the idolatrous altars which King Ahaz had erected in each of the four corners of Jerusalem (2 Chronicles 28:24). The stones of these demolished altars were thrown into the creek bed of the Kidron where they would be washed away by the flowing stream.
The solemnity of the ceremony was of such a nature as to cast guilt on the priests and Levites for allowing themselves to become ceremonially unclean. Before they began offering the animals of Passover, they performed their own cleansing rituals and offered the burnt offerings prescribed by law. Thus cleansed, they performed the ceremonial sprinkling of the Passover blood.
However, many of the congregation, specifically those of the northern kingdom tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, also had not gone through the required pre-Passover cleansing. Despite this, and probably not knowing the requirements since it had been so long since the last such observance, they participated in the feast.
Again, the magnanimity of Hezekiah was shown. Rather than berating them for disobedience of the Law requirements, he prayed for them, those who would prepare their hearts to seek after God. The word for pardon in this verse is the Hebrew kophar, meaning to cover or atone. It suggests an official removing of the guilt of the sin committed.This story makes me wonder if there might be an End-time application in the antitypical Passover. Could it be that this epic Feast will involve Yahweh's people celebrating in the first month and then reaching out to uninformed, unclean mankind for a second Passover? Hmmm.... We do know that Yahweh's followers will perform the work of intercessors and mediators, helping others to turn to Yahweh in repentance.
...It is for these that the mediator will step between and intercede on their behalf, that the atonement will cover the sins of all who then will apply themselves to learn and do the precepts of righteousness.
The response of God is that Jehovah will hearken to these prayers and will heal the uncleanness of all who seek to learn and do the will of God, walking humbly up to perfection on the "highway of holiness" (Isaiah 35:8-10).
And there was great cause for joy as Yahweh heard their prayers and accepted their repentance. He healed them! What a Feast!!!!
Though sadness for past neglect cast a pallor over the feast, it did not preclude glad songs of joy, accompanied by the temple musicians. Throughout the feast, as it will be throughout the kingdom, the spiritual Levites will teach them "the good knowledge of Yahweh."
...As the congregation was so happy to have this feast renewed, the decision was made to continue it for another week. So restored humanity will be so pleased with the results of the Messianic kingdom they will continue the celebration by rendering continued obedience, not for another week or even another thousand years, but for eternity.
The immense size of the number of the gathered Israelites is further indicated by the number of animals that were given for the feast.
The offering of the king of 1,000 bullocks and 7,000 sheep was topped by the princes (perhaps representing the ancient worthies) with their offering of 1,000 additional bullocks and 10,000 sheep.
The "great number of priests who sanctified themselves" is in addition to the ones consecrating themselves in verse 15. A text which may shed light upon this second group of priests is found in Isaiah 66:19, 20 where we read of an exodus of Jews to Israel after their final battle.
Of these returnees he prophesies in Isaiah 66:21, "And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith Yahweh."
A priest is one who offers sacrifices or prayers on behalf of others. In patriarchal times this was a function filled by the first-born as the heir-apparent to the headship of the family. The patriarch Job fulfills this duty for his "comforters" in Job 42:8-10. In this way many who hear the Word of Yahweh will assist in the priestly work of teaching others and in offering intercessory prayers (see Revelation 22:17).
It is also noteworthy that the celebrants included not only native-born Israelis but others as well... Likewise the blessings of God's Kingdom apply not only to the saved from literal Israel but to all the families of the earth, who together make up the full spiritual Israel of the saved.
The joy and re-dedication that attended this Passover was not an end in itself, but merely a beginning in the larger reform of Hezekiah as outlined in succeeding chapters, as he sought to remove all idolatry from Israel.
...This is for us the great lesson of this event—to constantly invoke repentance and praise for the memories of God's past deliverance of His people to rekindle the zeal to praise and serve Him afresh.

"Fade Away" is a song by British Rock artist Verity White.
No stranger to the Indie Music world, White is known for her sassy style, rock solid hooks, power-driven instrumentation, and hard-as-nails persona laced with sexiness – this gives her an edge that makes fans keep coming back for more and more.
Almost catharsis in its approach, White's newest release "Fade Away" is a track about loss and how that experience leaves the mourning lost for words, answers, and feelings – it is numbing and only becomes felt once it is fully grasped.
From the start of the track, you are drawn in and captivated by White's raw, yet passionate, vocal stamina that continues to be impressionable throughout the entire track. The powerful melody helps move this Classic Rock ballad forward at a pace similar to that of Def Leppard and Sting's more rich tracks enabling White's true-to-form edgy style to be reflected on the cut. In addition, the thought-provoking, true, lyrics give the track structure and heft to support the guitar riffs, wild synths, and hot percussions, including hi-hats and cymbals.
On this track, I'd like to say there are two sides – a great production technique mirroring the torn emotions of a person in grief. There is the east side (verse one and two) where the artist is more melancholy and perplexed and her vocals support this by being more soft and desolate, and then there is the west side (outro), so to speak, the other side, where the artist is more aggressive and awakened by the reality of the ordeal – her vocals support this emotion by being more rigid and flashy. The dual vocalized bridge at the 2 minutes / 22 seconds mark connects these two sides perfectly by drawing back some on the instrumentation and adding harmony notes bouncing off of each other highlighting that dual effect which soon expels leading to the song's faded conclusion.
On all counts, "Fade Away" connects us all in learning how to cope with loss and accept the dimness that comes along with grief before the brightness of clarity sets in – sharing helps us to heal.
Only Verity White can accomplish a song that reaches so deep and helps the listener feel less alone in the end.
"Fade Away" released on October 6th, make sure to get your copy here and ENJOY the video! Please comment below :)

Further details
LEMESOS (Limassol) and its environs
The island's second largest city, Lemesos (Limassol) spreads out between two ancient city-kingdoms, Amathous to the east and Kourion to the west, two of the most spectacular archaeological sites in Cyprus. It is the island's main port, the centre of the wine industry and a bustling holiday resort. Wander round the narrow streets of the old town radiating out from the fishing harbour. The medieval castle was the site of the royal wedding in the Middle ages between Richard the Lionheart and Berengaria of Navarre, and now houses the Cyprus Medieval Museum, Browse through the array of goods and produce in the atmospheric Market. The town's inhabitants are renowned for their love of sun so not surprisingly the nightlife is varied, with all sorts of tavernas, discos and clubs. Enjoy a summer concert under the stars in the Greco-Roman theatre of Kourion, or join in September, or have fun at the Carnival with its fancy dress chariot parade and parties.
PAFOS and its environs
Aphrodite's realm. In antiquity Pafos was the centre of the cult of Aphrodite. Swim in the sea by the rocks known as Petra tou Romiou where the goddess was believed to have risen from the waves, make a pilgrimage to her sanctuary at Kouklia, or visit the grotto near Polis where she was supposed to have bathed. Pafos, with its pleasant harbour and medieval fort, combines a cosmopolitan holiday resort, spectacular countryside and historical sites. It was the capital of Cyprus for 600 years in ancient times and its archaeological legacy is such that UNESCO put the whole town on its World Cultural Heritage List. The intricate floor mosaics in villas dating back to the Roman period depicting scenes from Greek mythology are considered among the finest in the Eastern Mediterranean. Equally impressive are the underground Tombs of the Kings carved out of solid rock and decorated with Doric pillars. The museum at Maa-Paleokastro near Coral Bay has an interesting collection of artefacts from the period of Mycenean Greek colonisation of Cyprus.
Byzantine treasures abound, such as the remarkable five-domed church of Agia Paraskevi in Geroskipou, or the ruins of two early Christian basilicas at Agios Georgios in Pegia.
The monastery of Agios Neofytos has wonderfully colourful frescoes painted on the walls in a cave that the hermit carved out of the mountain. Chrysorrogiatissa monastery is worth visiting for its fine icons and a taste of the locally produced vintage wine from its own winery.
If peace and quiet in harmony with nature are what you are after, head for the Polis area. The Akamas peninsula is an area of natural wilderness with dramatic coastlines and sandy coves. Here you can explore the various picturesque villages, walk along one of the many scenic nature trails.
Beneath the whispering pines. Take a trip into the mountains for a refreshing break from the heat of the central plains and the coast. Rising to almost 2000 metres above sea level, the Troodos peaks provide panoramic views and place to go skiing in winter. Charming villages, some with cobbled streets and preserved folk architecture, nestle on terraced slopes amid vineyards and orchards of almond, hazelnut and cherry trees. Stop off at one of the cafes or restaurants next to a burbling mountain stream and try one of the preserved fruit desserts served as a typical island welcome.
Spend the day walking along one of the many nature trails, resting at a picnic site along the way, or visit the Visitor Centre in the Troodos forest park area. The Cedar Valley is home to an unusually large number of Cypriot cedars and so far from the madding crowds that the only sounds you will hear when you switch off the engine of your car are those of nature. In the evening nightingales songs will lull you to sleep.

For the past five years I have been a Project Based Learning Coach (PBL) at Vernon Malone College & Career Academy in Raleigh, NC. It was our vision when we started the school in 2013 to use PBL as a framework for instructmy responsibility to design a program that supported this work. For four years the teaches and I focused on project design and implementation through rapid prototyping and reflection. Its through this process that I developed a PBL Roadmap that takes the user through five phases of project development, implementation and reflection. What makes this roadmap unique are the processes included in each phase. For example, Phase 2 includes protocols inspired by the Critical Friends Group to allow the user to choose a path for project idea development for either an individual or interdisciplinary groups. Another unique aspect of the roadmap can be found in Phase 3 Community Connections and Research. This phase uses Human Centered Design to connect the project idea to real world issues that gives student an opportunity to have an impact on their local or global community.
It's important to remember that this roadmap is a guide and can be used as a step-by-step process or as a resource for the development and/or implementation of High Quality PBL. The roadmap is a comprehensive look at designing and implementing PBL; however, not all phases are required or possible with every PBL project. It is my vision that by using this roadmap teachers have a comprehensive support for designing and implementing High Quality PBL.ion. As the PBL coach it was
Teacher, leader, curious observer, explorer of the world and everything in it, passionate about new experiences, and making connections with people.

|Circle of Health
The Circle of Health has become our new traditional activity. In 2011 it replaced the Think of Your Heart Race in the Tivoli Park, which was previously organized for five years and was extremely well-attended each year (around 1000 runners). In addition to the actual run, other activities such as measuring blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels took place.
We believe that organizing the Circle of Health enables us to reach the general population better. The entire event is held at Prešernov Square in the centre of Ljubljana, therefore more passers-by will be warned of the dangers of cardiovascular disease and encouraged to live a healthy lifestyle and the media coverage will be more extensive.
On several stands, blood sugar, blood pressure, amount of carbon monoxide in exhaled air and blood cholesterol will be measured and advice on healthy diet and exercise will be given. Passers-by will also be warned of harmful habits such as smoking, alcohol and unhealthy diet. The measurements and raising awareness on this important topic will be held throughout the day. The Think of Your Heart team will be helped by other projects of Medical Students' Association of Slovenia.

Martha Stewart's stockbrokers were frantic to reach her Dec. 27 – the day before ImClone's cancer drug Erbitux was rejected by the FDA, according to e-mails released yesterday by a congressional committee.
One member of the committee says the e-mails show brokers Peter Bacanovic and Douglas Faneuil, had inside dope that the Food and Drug Administration would reject Erbitux – and wanted to tell the Queen of Clean before ImClone's stock price tanked.
"It certainly is not proof positive, but it is very suggestive of the fact that . . . Bacanovic and Faneuil were aware of pending news, the negative news from the FDA and how it would impact the stock," said Rep. James Greenwood (R-Pa.), chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce's investigative subcommittee.
"It also, of course, indicates they made efforts to contact Ms. Stewart about this," Greenwood said. Stewart sold her ImClone stock in time to make a $125,000 profit. Over the following weeks, the stock fell from $58 to $18.
The Dec. 27 e-mails submitted to Greenwood's committee outline the brokers' desperation.
"Has news come out yet? Let me know Thx, P.," Bacanovic asked Faneuil via e-mail at 1:17 p.m.
At 1:20, Faneuil replied, "Nothing yet. I'll let you know. No call from Martha either."
Stewart, traveling to Mexico, stopped in Texas at about 1:30 p.m. She called her office and found this message from her assistant: "Peter Bacanovic thinks ImClone is going to start trading downward."
In short order, Stewart called Bacanovic's office and immediately sold all of her shares in the pharmaceutical company.
Faneuil confirmed the sale in an e-mail:
"Dear Mrs. Stewart, You sold your remaining (3,928 imcl) shares at an average price of 58.43(25). As always, feel free to call me with any questions."
Stewart, a close personal friend of former ImClone CEO Sam Waksal, has maintained she had a standing order with Merrill Lynch broker Bacanovic to sell her ImClone shares should the price drop below $60.
However, these communications make no mention of the standing order.

Just a bit of a Guilty Pleasure...
We've all got them and with the countdown to a busy Summer coming to a close, we're sure there will be some nights (and days!) where we can think of nothing but these delicacies, not matter how bad they may sound coming from a chef...
Picture waking up on your day off after a particularly difficult week of fighting through the weeds in the kitchen and you are nursing a hangover while debating with yourself about where, how and what the next set of calories to enter your system will be. This is undoubtedly the place that I have found myself on several mid-week days off and I always seem to find myself choosing from the same tried and tested list that might only seem to make the list of drunken foods for most normal people.
On numerous occasions the question has been posed to me about what kind of food I like to eat and it the answer always seems to blow most people away. As a chef you see and taste delicious food mostly all day long. Your access to unbelievable produce is unrivalled and, depending on where you work, the amount of great equipment is unparalleled- you feel like Zeus when having to choose a team of gods to play a round of 5-a-side with! I love the food I cook and I will ALWAYS cook it to the best of my abilities but when I get home to a poorly-stocked fridge (after various room-mates have raided my food stash from the last day off) and a kitchen that feels like it has been designed by a 5 year old, my mind goes straight for the high calorie options. Maybe it's a survival instinct that has been passed down through our genes, but I will promise you that the majority of chefs out there have their vices and you'll be surprised where they might come from. David Chang is famed for his love of ramen and Sean Brock's appreciation of the Hot Brown's healing power's have been well covered in the US TV series: The Mind of a Chef, so here are some of the things that keep me happy when I need my guilty pleasure:
I'm sure there are more, but those will have to wait as now my stomach is aching to be sated by one, or more, of this selection! We'd love to know what your guilty pleasure foods are so please comment below and let us know what your guilty pleasure foods are. R.

Rachel Wishkoski, Dylan Burns - Utah State University
This poster presents the process and outcomes of developing a new digital music program archive at Utah State University. Spearheaded by the music liaison librarian and the digital scholarship librarian, this collaborative project required balancing the needs of multiple stakeholders in creating a sustainable and usable collection within the existing Institutional Repository (IR). The primary goal of the archive is to preserve artifacts of student and faculty musical contributions to the scholarly and creative activity of the University, which will ultimately show larger trends in musical performances over time. This poster shares practical considerations and decisions in this process (e.g., design, scope, workflow, metadata, and overall organization), as well as the larger implications of the work. What does it mean that the fine and performing arts have been historically underrepresented in the Institutional Repository? How does the inclusion of music programs recognize students as creators and musical practices as knowledge practices? This project translates the ephemeral nature of musical performance into a tangible record of student and faculty achievement.

Wyckoff Country Club, is a Private, 18 hole golf course located in Holyoke, Massachusetts.
The course first opened for play in 1933 as The Mount Tom Golf Club. The course was designed by Donald Ross.The course was built on a rolling property at the base of Mt. Tom.
Water hazards come into play on five holes. The course has tree lined fairways and small fast greens.
Par for the course is 69. From the back tees the course plays to 5,793 yards. From the forward tees the course measures 5,140 yards. The course has five original Ross holes and seven original Ross greens (rerouted). There are two par fives, five par threes, eleven par fours.
Don't let the yardage fool you! Tight fairways and small target greens require precision shot making, but the real test comes once you get to the greens. The greens are severely sloped and are usually very fast. If you miss the greens you will have a very difficult up and down.
The signature hole is number 16. A par three, original Donald Ross hole, 175 yards white tee, 220 yards blue tee, uphill to a small two-tiered green. If your tee shot is left, right or especially long, you will do well to make bogey.
The longest hole on the course is # 3, a par-5 that plays to 519 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 7, a par-3 that plays to 152 yards from the back tees.
Watch out for # 2, a 383 yard par-4 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole is # 18, a 172 yard par-3.

I just want to give another perspective if I may. From the theater to even in the music entertainment industry… Many refuse to set the pace for their artistry with class and some taste. People have glamorize " violence, and soft pornography" and call it art.
Where is the art in degrading yourselves as men and women? We have to stop giving part answers to the truth! I don't care how big their names are… We have to stop allowing others to paint us in a negative light and go along with their money. All because they "made it" in their particular element.
My question is look how far many may have laid down, or rolled over? What future is this for the next generation teaching our young men how to be pimp or player… and women on their "bare bottoms"… posted up like sex slaves? Women are getting dolled up for" community prostitution"…
What level of God conscious is left is unthinkable. It's funny many are worshiped for the "garbage" when they have hit a certain status.
Where are the mentors? …But the part what blows my mind that many will do anything to hustle and flow …sort of speak. People are applauding this foolishness and paying to either see it, or watch it. A difficult step would be to stand up for yourselves. Power is addictive and people want it and never really knowing the downside to being apart of their salaries!
In turn people continue to take these parts that portray every negative stereotype their is. Let start with the messiness of the reality buffoonery? I know the money talk… because I see people begin to try to disillusion God's people with distorted truths. As much as many detest who many of our Afro Americans have won "Oscars" in what many call their stereotypical roles people continue to take those roles believing a better day is coming. We begin to call "filth" a new young people's era and I am embarrassed that many feel like they can even pick the ball up… Many have the knowledge and technology but where is the "wisdom" on how to apply it!
Sorry, people no matter what the new fad was in my day. I still had to conduct myself as a young lady not a cheap commodity. Unfortunately, no one cares what is heard on the radio, nor more than we can change many of the negative perception. But I think, we first must have a problem with what roles we play how we participate, and what we give our ear to…
What have you really done to reach back to build in another capacity? People are getting rich on the backs of the poor … or laying on their backs!
Sadly, I honestly believe that this so call Academy Board don't have to be hard on people of color… if only we can stand back and analyze just how, what , when and why many of our people continue to go along and mess it up themselves! We can't continue to give them the weapons to work with!

TV series: 50 Kitchens, one City - Denmark
A cross media film production about Berlin based restaurants
TV and web series with the Danish restaurant East & Eden
Ulla Skaaning Mathiesen wanted to live in another city again. So she packed her seven things and moved with her family from Copenhagen to Berlin."Going to a new place and doing things in a new way makes me feel more alive. By forcing yourself into new places and experiences I think you just get more out of life. I really like that, "says the Dane in our interview for 50 kitchens, one city. It's not surprising that she has another dream come true in Berlin: the architect and interior designer opens her own café, the "East & Eden". Here she offers small delicacies that are sometimes inspired by Denmark, her home country. Like the oatmeal liquorice biscuits that we bake together with Ulla. Delicious.

Beryl Wynter who has been selling Kleeneze products in Hollingbourne for several years has launched a new business since the closure of the long established Kleeneze company earlier this year when she and other agents lost their source of income.
Beryl and thousands of other Kleeneze agents were left with unsold stock and were also owed monies by the company which they may never recover as David Acland and Anthony Collier of FRP Advisory LLP were appointed joint administrators of Kleeneze Limited on 12th April 2018. The door to door sales business was over 90 years old and was based in Oxted in Surrey. More data is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleeneze

Producer Lawrence Hott admits he was no expert when he began work on the documentary The War of 1812.
"All I knew about the War of 1812 was that it took place in 1812 and even in that I was wrong," says Hott of the war, which lasted 21/2 years until 1815.
Hott ended up spending seven years on the project, about as long as hostilities between the new nation of the United States and Great Britain — backed by native North Americans and citizens of Upper and Lower Canada — took place.
About 200 years after the war, PBS affiliate WNED of Buffalo, N.Y., has commissioned a comprehensive look at the conflict and its lasting consequences. The two-hour documentary is scheduled to air Monday at 9 p.m.
The story is largely told through re-enactments shot on both sides of the border, with most of the land battles filmed in Canada and the sea battles in the U.S. Two dozen historians share insights and offer perspective on the war.
"We knew we had to get everything right," says Hott. "We were working with some very prickly scholars who made sure we weren't biased."
Among them were René Chartrand, for three decades a senior curator with Canada's National Historic sites and Donald Graves, the leading military historian of the war. Donald Fixico, a history professor at Arizona State University, provided insights into the Shawnee native American involvement as well as on the great leader Tecumseh.
While historians often disagree on who won the war — which ended in 1815 when the financially exhausted parties agreed to a virtual stalemate — there is little doubt who lost: native North Americans.
"The War of 1812 was the death knell for native American sovereignty," says Hott. "When Tecumseh loses that battle on the River Thames, the idea of a confederation and the idea of treaties that will hold up against the juggernaut of white settlement is completely gone, and the next 80 or 90 years of Indian wars are but a coda to the War of 1812."
Tecumseh emerges as one of the more charismatic and heroic figures of the war, as does General Isaac Brock, the ill-fated hero of the Battle of Queenston Heights. Tecumseh and Brock saw eye to eye and make a compelling team in the documentary.
Their story alone would make a good "buddy film," agrees Hott. "It's great when you find these people from completely different worlds who can connect."
After Brock's death, Tecumseh had no such affinity with General Henry Proctor. At one point, Tecumseh dismissively suggested the British general should go put on petticoats.
Hott, who produced and directed the film with Diane Garey, says he didn't have to look far and wide to find actors to take part in the battle scenes. Hundreds of War of 1812 hobbyists regularly take part in annual battle re-enactments held on the original sites. Most come in wardrobe, bringing costumes, homemade muskets and other battle gear.
Canadian military historian Peter Twist, a consultant on Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean films, served as production designer.
"He knew every re-enactor in the country," says Hott. Twist hand-picked 20 or 30 men to meet with the producers at Morrisburg, Ont., site of the pivotal Crysler's Farm battlefield.
There, British forces — consisting mainly of local Canadian farmers, some British militia and Iroquois — threw back the American assault and thwarted what was a planned attack on Montreal.
Hott says the re-enactors arrived with three sets of military uniforms: American, Colonial and British. From among these re-enactors, he was also able to pick two who would play important parts in the documentary.
Chris McKay plays Shadrack Byfield and William White plays William Atherton, two soldiers from opposite sides whose diaries added to the narrative. The wife of another re-enactor, Pamela Peterson, played American heroine Dolley Madison.
There are pitfalls when it comes to casting re-enactors, admits Hott.
"One is gender — frequently, you find women dressed as men running around in the field."
The race of some re-enactors also does not fit with the historical time period, and age is also a factor.
But the biggest problem, says Hott, is girth. Today's re-enactors are just supersized compared to the skinny (and often malnourished) combatants. Militia uniforms did not come in a 40 waist in 1812.
Also seen in the documentary is a clip of Johnny Horton singing "The Battle of New Orleans" on The Ed Sullivan Show.

The popular late-'50s ballad is all about how the Americans sent the "bloody British" running — a song later mocked by the Canadian group The Arrogant Worms on their ditty "The War of 1812."
This documentary on The War of 1812 — made by Canadians and Americans in a production that straddled the border — hopes to set the record straight, end all the name calling and shed light on what remains the only invasion ever on Canadian soil.

SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras -- The Honduran Football Federation (FENAFUTH) on Tuesday presented FIFA Vice President and CONCACAF President Jeffrey Webb with a special recognition for his outstanding contributions to the development of the game in this Central American country.
The award was bestowed on President Webb by Rafael Leonardo Callejas, President of FENAFUTH, and FENAFUTH General Secretary, Alfredo Hawit Banegas, at a banquet on the eve of the match between Honduras and the United States to kick off the final round of CONCACAF qualifying for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
"This award recognizes the last 25 years of my life committed to football throughout the Cayman Islands and the region," Webb said.
The award specifically cited President Webb's dedication to the development of the sport in all of CONCACAF's member nations.
"It's about focus," Webb said of his efforts to promote the development of the sport throughout the Confederation. "We have to focus. We have to allocate resources and put the right teams in place. We have plans we'd like to see as far as grassroots development, our coaching education programs and other initiatives across the region."
President Webb attended Wednesday afternoon's match between the U.S. and Honduras at the Olympic Stadium in San Pedro Sula.
