The Workshop, Clickers Yard, Olney, Bucks, MK46 5DX
David Pibworth | The Blog
As part of the new Olney Arts Hub, which is being run at The Workshop, Clickers Yard, in Olney, I am running a beginner's magic workshop. It's from 10.00am to 12.00 noon and costs just £15 ...
Come and join me at my beginners magic workshop in Olney.
copyright: fergregory / 123rf stock photo
The aim of the beginner's magic workshop is to run you through a number of magic tricks, tried, tested and used by me, so that you will be able to perform these tricks when you get home.
"Everything is supplied for 3 veryvisual tricks."
To be honest, the mechanics of most, not all, but most magic tricks are relatively straightforward. The presentation is where you will score highly. Misdirection is something that worries some people but actually is also fairly simple when you understand why you are doing it and how good it will make the illusion look.
As part of the workshop, you can ask me any questions you like about magic, and I will work my way around the class giving tips once we have you actually using them. And that won't take long. I like to get things up on their feet as soon as possible.
It's fun and informative and how you choose to use your new found skills is entirely up to you. Many people just amuse their kids or grandkids.
"All the tricks you get are small enough to carry around and so you can wow your friends in the local pub."
None of the tricks and gags I teach you involve counting cards out like those rather long ones that people do on a pub table, which do tend to be maths based, and while certainly are interesting (from a mathematical point of view), don't give that 'wow' factor.
Many people now use them as part of their work. Whenever I am asked for my business card, I take out a pack of normal playing cards, let them choose one and it will always be my business card - and they like it. It's fun, so there is a commercial side to it all as well.
If I told you I could get you to offer any card from a pack to a friend, get them to put it back into the pack anywhere they like, and then throw the pack up to the ceiling and their chosen card would end up stuck to the ceiling, would you believe that I could get you to do that in a two-hour workshop? Probably not, but I can ... and I will ... and it's simple.
"But to find out just how simple, you must first enrol on to the workshop."
I am also very happy to come to your place of work to run these magic workshops, as I travel up and down the country doing workshops for businesses and schools. Call me on 01234 241357 or click here to send me an email enquiry and book your place.
Until next time ...

Meet the make-up artist hand-picked by Rihanna to work on Fenty Beauty for you
27th May 2019
Rihanna's current quest for world domination means she needs a good team by her side. And believe it or not, there are a lucky, hard-working few out there, who have been plucked from obscurity and placed into the world of Fenty by the singer herself.
Hector Espinal, is one such human.
A former Sephora Pro make-up artist, Espinal worked his way up from the cashier to Global Artist for the beauty giant. Eight years later, Espinal found himself at Paris Fashion Week, where he met Rihanna and the rest, as they say, is beauty history.
"We met, and it was a crazy connection, and from there I was asked to do Fentybeauty.com on a super confidential contract, because nobody knew Fenty was coming out," Espinal tells Vogue from inside Bondi's Hotel Ravesis, where the brand launched its Sun Stalk'r Instant Warmth Bronzer into the Australian market.
Espinal's relationships with Rihanna snowballed from there, auditioning for the role of Fenty Beauty's Global Makeup Artist, being hand-picked by Rihanna herself in 2017 after a grueling selection process.
"Then I auditioned for her position, and that was truly the one moment where I felt like I was a make-up artist, because I'm like, 'how did I: one, get here, and two, I can't believe that I auditioning to be Rihanna's make-up artist!'"
The last hurdle in the auditioning process was to paint Rihanna's face and interpret her signature look, the 'Fenty face'.
The 'Fenty face', for those keen to emulate Rihanna's signature look, involves Fenty Beauty's Pro Filt'r Instant Retough Primer, Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation, Pro Filt'r Instant Retouch Concealer, Match Stix Matte Skintick and the Pro Filt'r Instant Retouch Setting Powder.
But on that fateful day, Rihanna also wanted the artists to include a classic red lip and then "on top of that, you had to do your signature look, like 'who are you as an artist'," Espinal recalls, adding, "Just the fact that she let us play with her face was rewarding at that, and that was it."
Espinal's red lip was a success with the singer choosing him, alongside fellow make-up artist Priscilla Ono, for the role of Global Makeup Artist. And now, Espinal has, quite literally, got skin in the Fenty Beauty game, having been deeply involved in product development.
"I think what makes it important is because as artists, we understand what the woman needs, or the client in general," Espinal says of his role in product development.
"For me, it's one of the best parts of my job, especially when I see it coming alive I'm like anxiously waiting for the reveal," Espinal says of the process, noting he often hops online to read reviews straight after a product is launched.
And how involved is Rihanna in her game-changing beauty brand?
"She's extremely one-hundred and a thousand-percent involved in this brand, so when we did the bronzers, one of the reasons why we kept on sending them back was because she didn't feel like the formula was perfect, or she thought it was too red, or too neutral, or whatever the case was," Espinal reveals, adding the whole process is all about teamwork.
"She would always give her honest feedback. She's heavily involved in everything!"
It's this attention to detail and yearning to give her Fenty acolytes only the most perfect product that meant the brand's first bronzer took two years to get right.
"Two intense, long years in the making and I'll tell you why: one, because we really wanted to master a formula that did not show up muddy, or blotchy. Two, the colour range," Espinal divulges, adding it's impossible to produce 50 bronzers to match the brand's foundation offering.
"How can we target the four families: light, medium, tan, deep? So we created two bronzers per family, one on the neutral side, one a little bit warm. It took two years because we needed to stabilise a formula, make it easily buildable, and then transfer-resistant, and make the tones right so that anyone could find a bronzer," Espinal reveals.
Thoughtfully, Rihanna has also produced two new brushes to sculpt and dust on the Sun Stalk'r Instant Warmth Bronzer – she's really thought of everything.
"After I got the job, she's always said like, 'I love how precise you are'," Espinal recalls of his boss, Rihanna.
And if Rihanna thinks Espinal's hands are the best to be involved in creating Fenty, then we do too.

How to Make Red Flannel Hash
Wear it, eat it
Essentially a classic corned beef hash dyed magenta with beets, Red Flannel Hash is a New England tradition. The recipe theoretically begins the night before, with a freshly cooked corned beef, cabbage and boiled potatoes. Full disclosure, corned beef isn't exactly a weeknight meal in my kitchen (but it may be in yours!), so when I want to make Red Flannel Hash, I'll buy the corned beef. I also will often just use whatever cooked meat I have on hand (cooked shredded chicken is great, as are chunks of sausage or crumbled bacon). If you don't feel strongly in favor of corned beef, I recommend alternative meats.
Red Flannel Hash is the kind of dish that's served right from the skillet, still steaming, with a few fat eggs on top, and is about to make every other breakfast hash you've made look like, well, hash. It also probably goes without saying that in order to truly get the full New England effect you should probably be wearing a red flannel shirt as you eat this.
Heat a large cast iron skillet (a stainless steel pan will work too) over medium heat with large knob of butter. Toss a bunch of of thinly sliced onions (about 1 white onion's worth) into the pan and saute along with 2 big pinches of kosher salt, a few cracks of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
After 3-5 minutes, toss in 2 tablespoons minced garlic and saute.
Peel and finely chop 2 large beets, and chop 4 small Yukon Gold potatoes to the same size. If you happen to have leftover roasted beets and potatoes from last night, use those instead. Add the vegetables to the pan along with a splash of olive oil and saute until they soften, 10-15 minutes. If they're already cooked, getting to the next step will happen much more quickly.
Stir in 3 cups thinly sliced green cabbage and corned beef or other meat if using—exact ratios aren't really important here, but about 1 or 2 cups work nicely.
Scoop out large servings of Red Flannel Hash into deep bowls and top with a fried egg (maybe 2), and a piece of toast if you're very hungry.

I'm taking a short break from my usual smartassery to introduce my good friend Michelle, who owns Cardiology, a unique and eco-friendly line of handmade cards and stationery from the Hill Country. You can find Michelle's gorgeous designs on Etsy and at M.W.Grant Designs (click on the names to go there). Both sites have different offerings, so check them out and see if you don't find something awesome for Mother's Day, which ain't far off at all.
With all the high-tech stuff we're into now, how often do you get a handwritten note or letter in the mail? I almost NEVER do. That's why I love these cards. Not only are they one-of-a-kind labors of love for the artisan who made them, but they help us continue the tradition of sending handwritten notes and letters. I love that. I don't want to lose it to cheesy commercial email cards and big corporations like WalMart. People just throw those away. But Michelle's cards, they keep. Some even frame them. That's pretty cool.
Below are some of my favorites that Michelle has made for Easter. Are they cute or what?
Michelle is a one-woman crafting dynamo! She uses salvaged vintage wallpapers and linens, and even paper grocery bags, so all the materials are recycled and put to beautiful use. And so original!
Her motto is "Do a World of Good," and 10 percent of all sales go to a different charity every year, and that amount grows as her business grows.
Do me a favor and check out Michelle's stores. Tell her that crazy Fragrant Liar sent you! You will LOVE what you see there, your purchase will do a world of good, and you'll support a needy charity and a hardworking, awesome crafter.
Trust me, do not wait till the last minute to get yo' mama something you put little-to-no thought into. She will know it, I assure you. Instead, send that girlie to heaven with the gorgeous one-of-a-kind cards you bought her from Cardiology.
And now, back to my usual smartassery...

Roaming Newton Chapter 15: Rocking it at Tollwood, Zuoz and a coffee house!
I am sitting in a coffee house called Dinzler which is situated in a town just outside of Munich. South Africa seems like a lifetime away but it is only been a few weeks since I was running around creating a storm in my old backyard. Now I am back trekking in Europe. I had flown out of South Africa into Germany and then dashed off to Switzerland, where I slept in a tent in non-stop rain! I was pretty much not enjoying this new adventure as I was looking forward to a European summer.
Luckily because I was based in Zuoz I managed to see a very strange European cycle race as well as an international cricket tournament played in the Alps! I returned to Munich with my appetite quenched from Zuoz but still looking for more…
I always miss home when I am away but Europe gives me an exhilarating feeling that home can't match, so I put my homesickness on the shelf for now. With an ambition of finding an European adventure I walk around Dinzler whilst sipping my takeaway coffee and wondering around their in-house coffee museum and factory. I am not sure if it is the view, aroma or taste of all this coffee that gives me the energy to seek out a big time European adventure but I guess after watching Breaking Stereotypes a few times, who wouldn't want to tackle Europe in grand style?
As I leave Dinzler with a second coffee in hand I find the nearest ride to Munich with the idea of finding a storm in a teacup and did I just stumble on that!
Welcome to Tollwood, from rock stars, food and cultural stores. It's the European version of Woodstock but everything is organic - even the Hamburgers! With the sounds and echoes of BB King, Bryan Adams, The Human League and even Limp Bizkit in the background to name a few, who would give this a miss!
As I now sit tapping my foot to the beat of the music of Tollwood, I munch on my very healthy organic burger, wondering how the rest of my adventure in Europe is going to be. Already I have been faced with cricket in Switzerland, a coffee house on the grandest scale and finally the collective beats of some of the greatest music legends of all time.
Europe has welcomed me in spectacular style…so much for being homesick!
Until next time!

Dubai: A strong fourth quarter helped push overall visitor numbers at Dubai Parks and Resorts to nearly 2.8 million, a 22 per cent gain over the 2017 traffic. Other factors too played their part.
There was a "successful integration of the annual pass programme, increased occupancy and therefore visitation from the Lapita Hotel and increased footfall from international tourists," DXB Entertainment said in a statement. Tourists made up 40 per cent of the traffic.
In Q4-18, there were 819,000 visitors and up from 796,000 for the same period in 2017, helped along by the winter seasonality, the Halloween, UAE's 47th anniversary, and the winter school break.
The increase in tourists demonstrate "our strategic partnerships with Emirates airline, RTA and Dubai Airport, as well as China's Union Pay, are showing good results," said Mohammad Almulla, CEO and Managing Director, DXB Entertainments.
"Lapita Hotel average occupancy has seen significant growth reaching 60 per cent, compared to 35 per cent (in 2017), positioning itself as an attractive and unique family holiday resort in the UAE and the region." (In December, there were days when the hotel had full occupancy.)
"Looking ahead, our priority is to continue increasing footfall from international tourists, which is a key growth driver for the destination, while also maintaining the solid base of local and regional visitors."

Three French citizens who joined the Islamic State group have been sentenced to death by a court in Baghdad.
The three are the first IS members from France to face execution.
One reportedly fought for IS in Syria while another was part of a European foreign terrorist fighter cell responsible for attacks in Iraq and Syria and for planning others in Europe, US officials have said.
French investigators said the third member, from Paris, moved his wife and two children to the Iraqi city of Mosul before heading to Syria.
They were among thousands of foreign fighters who joined IS after it declared a caliphate in 2014.
Since Iraq defeated the terrorist group in 2017 many have found themselves being processed through the country's court system, where membership of the terrorist group is enough to be sentenced to death, regardless of whether a person fought.
The three men and 10 other French citizens were handed to Iraqi authorities by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces at the beginning of this year.
A court-appointed lawyer said the three had asked to be tried in France but "judges ignored their request".
Iraq has thousands of its own citizens moving through the courts on terrorism-related charges - most are accused of joining IS in Iraq and hundreds more have been repatriated from Syria.
Iraq has detained or imprisoned at least 19,000 people accused of connections to IS or other terror-related offences, according to analysis by The Associated Press last year.
More than 3,000 of them have been sentenced to death.
Human rights groups have raised concerns that some of the trials are based on evidence obtained by torture and that courts are not impartial or thorough, with trials sometimes lasting just a few minutes.
The three men's trials could be a test for how the international community handles the thousands of foreign fighters who were still with Islamic State in its dying days.
France has so far refused to take back IS fighters and their wives, who are described by the country's foreign minister Jean-Yves Le Drian as "enemies" of the nation.
A small number of children have been repatriated, however.
The French Foreign Ministry declined to comment on Sunday's death sentences for the three men, who have 30 days to appeal their sentences.

In November 2014, I attended a conference sponsored by the Maryland Governor's Grants Office. The focus was primarily on the changes that are taking place within the federal government pertaining to grants management, and then filtering down to state and local governments and nonprofit organizations. These changes include the required use of the OMB Omni-Circular and the implementation of the Digital Accountability and Transparency Act (DATA) Act. As grant professionals, we know that these changes are important and we can look through the voluminous acts to determine their significance in our daily work. But do you know why they are here, particularly the DATA Act?
Let's take a step back and look at this from a strategic perspective. We all know that Congress has not been viewed favorably in recent years, as demonstrated by multiple voter and citizen polls. One can argue that these polls indicate that the public has lost some faith in the government and how decisions are being made to address critical public policy issues. The reasons for this vary, but one of the ways the federal government is trying to combat this perceived lack of faith is through information and data transparency.
Think of it this way: If you are not transparent, there is a view that decisions are made in the shadows and behind closed doors. This can make one feel detached and excluded. The more transparent the information, the more inclusive and collaborative the approach. Makes sense, right? This is the key component of the DATA Act. It attempts to provide transparency in funding decisions and provide an account of how federal grant funds are expended and used by its recipients.
This chart should explain this further:
Before DATA Act: Perceptions
After DATA Act: Projected Outcomes
§ Lack of awareness about how funds are spent
§ Full transparency in how funds are spent
§ Misuse and misappropriation of grant funds
§ Electronic review and tracking – searchable through public database
§ Wasteful use of tax dollars
§ Reduction in incidents of fraud
§ Lack of alignment between grant dollars and outcomes
§ Alignment between grant dollars and outcomes
§ No mapping between funding source and funding recipient
§ Clear mapping between funding source and recipient
§ Multiple grant reporting formats and information requested varies
§ Common reporting standards and processes
Hudson Hollister, executive director of the Data Transparency Coalition, gave a keynote address during the November conference and touched on multiple issues outlined above. He noted that when the culture of an agency changes, this is when there is the capacity to make real, systemic changes. He also included some important dates that you should know with regard to the DATA Act.
- The Department of Treasury and OMB will map out the different reporting requirements for recipients (May 2015)
- Two years after these standards are established, the agencies must conform to these standards (May 2017)
- A pilot program is required to determine if this approach works (starts May 2015). The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will be overseeing the pilot program and will try to determine if it is possible to automate grant reporting with common data formats.
While this may not seem relevant to your work, you should realize that data transparency is part of a larger institutional focus on collaboration and responsiveness. This may appear burdensome, but if you peel back the layers, you'll realize that data transparency is the first step in holding government accountable for funding decisions. If you lose sight of this ultimate goal, you will get mired in the weeds and focus on the process rather than the strategy behind the Act. This Act has the potential to show how federal funds impact the greater community through its application in grant programs and services.

In the first two installments of this series, we gave the overview, and in part 2, we took a dizzying look at batteries. Having decided on the batteries we're going to use, we now turn our attention to charging said batteries so they can do their job.
When in a slip, you'll usually have "shore power." This is exactly like RVers use at campsites. You plug a big ol' cable into a box, and all your outlets come to life. As a byproduct, your batteries get charged.
But what about when you're, well, anywhere but there? If you're running your engine, and you've taken the time to make sure your alternator is the right size, then it will charge your batteries exactly like the battery in your car is charged.
Thing is, we live on (what will some day be) a SAILboat so ideally, you would, you know, SAIL. Ipso facto, the engine would not be running. Not to mention the idea of "living on the hook" where you're anchored out in the middle of nowhere. Or "on a mooring ball" in the Caribbean. Sure, you could get a nice, generator with the fumes and the burning of gasoline. But really? Is that really optimal? No. No it isn't. So what to do?
If you're lucky, being on a sailboat, there are two things you're likely to have: sunshine and wind. And coincidentally, those two things can charge batteries. It just takes a little convincing.
As discussed in Part 2, we'll have 8-6 volt 225 amp-hour batteries. As a result, we'll have a 900 amp-hour 12 volt DC system. I like the idea of both wind and solar since at any time you may have one but not the other. Also, solar panels are currently more efficient than wind generators. I kind of look at it like the wind turbine keeps things chugging along, and the solar panels act like a mid-day turbo boost.
Wind Generator
After looking around at the options, there are quite a few reasonable choices.
Most of the options are some variation of this:
and those are great from everything I've heard, and I've seen a lot of them around, but I thought we could do something more fun.
So we're going to have two of these colorful beauties – one on each back (aft) corner of the boat, which should provide around 700 of the 900 amp-hours we need.
Solar Panels
Then, we throw a couple of these solar panels into the mix to make up the difference.
To be fair, we'll likely need more than just two of the solar panels, but the beauty of this setup is that it's expandable!
The Charge Controller
Just when you thought this was about the coolest thing you've ever seen, there's more. See, the thing is, you can't just plug all this stuff up into the batteries and go have a beer. You need a Charge Controller.
This charge controller will do it all. And as an added bonus, that green thing on the right is where any excess charge goes. I suspect it just feeds the extra current into carpets and doorknobs all around the world.
Summary and Links
I am unbelievably excited about this portion of the project. (Batteries are sexy, don't get me wrong).

7TH Sunday in Ordinary Time
February 23, 2014
7TH Sunday in Ordinary Time
Lv 19: 1-2, 17-18 / Ps 103: 1-2, 3-4, 8, 10, 12-13 (8a)/ 1 Cor 3: 16-23 / Mt 5: 38-48
First Reading: Lv 19:1-2,17-18
Yahweh spoke to Moses and said, "Speak to the entire assembly of the people of Israel and say to them: Be holy for I, Yahweh, your God, am holy. Do not hate your brother in your heart; rebuke your neighbor frankly so as not to share in his guilt. Do not seek revenge or nurture a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself; I am Yahweh."
Second Reading: 1 Cor 3:16-23
Do you not know that you are God's temple, and that God's Spirit abides within you? If anyone destroys this temple of God, God will destroy him. God's temple is holy, and you are this temple. Let no one deceive himself. If anyone of you considers himself wise in the ways of the world, let him become a fool, so that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's eyes. To this, Scripture says: God catches the wise in his own wisdom. It also says: The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is useless. Because of this, let no one become an admirer of humans, for everything belongs to you. Paul, Apollos, Cephas – life, death, the present and the future. Everything is yours and you, you belong to Christ, and Christ is of God.
Gospel: Mt 5:38-48
"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.' But I tell you this: do not oppose evil with evil. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn and offer him the other. If someone sues you in court for your shirt, let him have your coat as well. If someone forces you to go one mile, go two miles with him. Give when asked and do not turn your back on anyone who wants to borrow from you. "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.' But this I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you so that you may be children of your Father in Heaven. For he makes his sun rise on both the wicked and the good, and he gives rain to both the just and the unjust. If you love those who love you, what is special about that? Do not even tax collectors do as much? And if you are friendly only to your friends, what is so exceptional about that? Do not even the pagans do as much? For your part you shall be righteous and perfect in the way your heavenly Father is righteous and perfect.
Last Sunday's reading reminded us that for Jesus the fulfillment of the religious law is more than just an external observance of the letter of the law. It is important to have an understanding of the very purpose of the law. We can say that the real fulfillment of religious law looks to the heart of that law, and that heart is the heart of love! The fulfillment of the law must be alive with love, involving a loving dynamism of fulfillment.
Today's gospel reading shows us Jesus considering that dynamism. He tells his disciples that there is a dynamic growth in how the law of holiness will be understood. Perhaps in the past, he reminds them (and us today!) that it was enough to simply repeat old "traditional" understandings of the law. But growth in spiritual maturity calls the disciple to go beyond what had previously been taught. For example, in the past it may have been taught that to love the neighbor, it is enough to love those who love us. But, Jesus tells us, we must go beyond that so that our love of neighbour includes loving our enemies! In summary Jesus tells his disciples: "Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect!"
It is certainly legitimate for us to wonder if what Jesus is asking of us is at all realistic. Is it at all possible for us to be perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect? In the next life when we enjoy the perfection of heaven, having been purified of all sinfulness, that can be close to possible. But it is in this life here on earth where we have to live with enemies and with those who do us harm. It is in this life here on earth that we seek justice in return for injuries done to us. It is legitimate for us to wonder if Jesus is asking the impossible of us.
The answer to that question is a "yes" and a "no"! What Jesus is proposing is impossible if we rely on our own power and strength. But perhaps that is exactly the point that Jesus wants us to consider. Relying on our own powers and strengths, we will not be able to surpass the holiness of the scribes and Pharisees. But with the help that God can give us, we can hope to rise above the "holiness level" of the scribes and Pharisees. After all, we have heard the Lord remind us that "nothing is impossible for God."
To be able to rise to the challenge of today's gospel's norm of holiness or perfection, there are a number of things to consider. First of all it is important to have a real desire to grow towards the ideal Jesus is presenting. And together with that desire to grow, it is necessary that we be patient! The growth process is not a process of "instant success" but rather a process of day-after-day, week-after-week, and year-after-year growth. It is a "step by step" process, but there can be the realization that as it has been said, the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.
Together, therefore with a real desire for growth in holiness and the patience to continue growing, there is need for courage! And here again we have the assurance that can give us courage. "Do not be afraid because I am with you!" says the Lord.

If you've ever wanted to test the strength of a relationship with your partner, family, friend or foe with a video game then you've hit the jackpot, because Overcooked 2 is the ultimate relationship litmus test. Mark my words though, you will be called names, swear words will be more common than a Jim Jefferies show and cracks will appear in even the sturdiest partnership. But boy will you have a blast in the process, as Overcooked 2 delivers an impressively chaotic and entertaining sequel that reinforces its status as an exceptional couch co-op experience.
Lean, green grillin' team
For those familiar with Overcooked's recipe don't expect major changes to the formula. It's largely a reheat of what made the original such a hit, and as they say, 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'. This time around our culinary heroes are making their way across the Onion Kingdom to stop the rising of the Unbread, unlocking new chefs (including some old favourites) in the process. Making this gastronomic resistance more challenging is the fact that the architects who designed the kitchens appear to have never studied architecture, or at least finished it, with their sole purpose seemingly to create extreme levels of stress and panic for chefs (or cooks – depending who you're playing with).
Players will have to battle shifting landscapes, portals, conveyor belts, spot fires and giant holes in the ground as they prepare and cook meals, and thankfully Overcooked 2's menu has been overhauled, with a number of new recipes for players to cook…and burn. Whether it's chopping fish for sushi or grilling cheese and patties for burgers, Overcooked's simple control scheme helps mitigate the pressure and mayhem as orders start to pile in, and once the pressure starts to rise and frustration takes control it can make for some hilarious moments, with food, cutlery and utensils strewn across the kitchen's surfaces. The only negative is that the recipes can become a bit repetitive when playing long sessions.
Table number 45, your dim sims are ready
If you've ever watched Gordan Ramsey tear shreds off one of his cooks then you can imagine the spray you'll cop from your partner if you fall into the abyss with a hamburger with the lot and cost your team three stars
One addition that is a welcome boon to the game is the ability to throw raw food. Need a chicken cut but can't get to the chopping board because the floor has shifted and blocked your access? Well throw it to your partner and get them to cut it and pass it back. It seems simple but it can save precious seconds and allow you to focus on the rice that is moments from burning the kitchen down. Learning to multitask is part of Overcooked's fun, and sometimes you'll need to be the bigger person and take one for the team and wash the dirty dishes, because much like real life everyone forgets about the bloody dirty dishes, only wondering where they are when there's none left.
Once you become accustomed to Overcooked 2's mechanics and a kitchen's dangers, your team of cartoon chefs will become a well-oiled machine, serving and preparing meals with ease and racking up the points. However, due to the madness that Overcooked can create it means that a costly calamity is never far away, and if you've ever watched Gordan Ramsey tear shreds off one of his cooks then you can imagine the spray you'll cop from your partner if you fall into the abyss with a hamburger with the lot and cost your team three stars.
The game's campaign can be played solo or with up to four players, and the more chefs you add the more hectic things can become as players themselves become hazards. There's also a versus mode for players to cook off against one another at home for ultimate glory and players can take their talents online see if they stack up against the Iain Hewitsons and Geoff Janszs of the digital cooking world. While it is a neat addition to duke it out with others around the globe, the online doesn't quite capture the same level of chaos as the game's couch co-op fun.

Final Thoughts
Overcooked 2 takes everything that made the original so loveable and garnishes it with a few added features, a new menu, and some whacky new kitchen layouts that create some hectic and hilarious co-op fun. It's a testament that such a basic concept can generate hours of entertainment and laughter, and one that will test even the strongest of bonds.

The Kiss
|by Stephen Dunn
She pressed her lips to mind. —a typo How many years I must have yearned for someone's lips against mind. Pheromones, newly born, were floating between us. There was hardly any air. She kissed me again, reaching that place that sends messages to toes and fingertips, then all the way to something like home. Some music was playing on its own. Nothing like a woman who knows to kiss the right thing at the right time, then kisses the things she's missed. How had I ever settled for less? I was thinking this is intelligence, this is the wisest tongue since the Oracle got into a Greek's ear, speaking sense. It's the Good, defining itself. I was out of my mind. She was in. We married as soon as we could.

This flannel set is based on the board book Hatch by Katie Cox. Though this book is completely appropriate for preschool, my Wiggleworms group has decided that board books are for babies. The book is very clever – every page offers a different rhyming riddle asking the reader to guess what is in the egg and then lift the flap to hatch the baby animal. Kids automatically think birds (and there are plenty of birds here too) but they don't think of reptiles, which is a nice surprise. This flannel will be used with our April Story Time about EGGS! Perfect for spring, bird, reptile or Easter themes.
The eggs…
are hatching…
the baby birds and reptiles!
All of the images were taken from free clipart, flannel and puffy paint.

Ohio Judge: Condemned Killer in Missouri a Monster
CINCINNATI - A white supremacist serial killer who received a stay of execution in Missouri haunts the dreams of an Ohio judge who helped connect him to the 1980 shooting deaths of two teenage cousins in Cincinnati.
Hamilton County Municipal Judge Melissa Powers was an assistant county prosecutor when her then-boss asked her to help get Joseph Paul Franklin to confess to shooting 14-year-old Darrell Lane and 13-year-old Dante Evans Brown.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports Powers appealed to Franklin's ego in a letter followed by phone calls and a Missouri death-row interview. The man Powers calls a monster confessed and was sentenced to two life terms in Ohio in 1998.
A federal judge delayed Powers' Wednesday execution for a 1977 slaying, one of 20 killings he committed.

The apex Igbo socio cultural organisation,Ohanaeze Ndigbo, warned against further shift of the general elections for what ever reason.
The group, in a statement forwarded to Newsmen, by its spokesman, Mazi Chuks Ibegbu, on Tuesday, called on Ndigbo to go out massively on February 23 to exercise their electoral franchise.
The statement said, "Ohanaeze position on the presidential election has already been made known.
Recall that Ohanaeze had earlier endorsed the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidacy of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi for accepting to restructure Nigeria.
"That position is sacrosanct and in tandem with the decision of the other major ethnic nationality organisations in Nigeria viz: PANDEF, NEF, Middle Belt Forum and Afenifere
"We also warn against any rigging of any type. The democratic will of Nigerians should on no account be trampled. Votes must count this time around."

Pitts Performance Aerobatic Aircraft
Pitts Overview
Enable yourself to easily perform highly skilled manoeuvres with ease. Become a better, safer, more confident pilot. Become a proud owner of a high performance powerhouse from a distinguished lineage of aircraft that have been precision handcrafted since 1946.
Until you've flown the new Pitts S-2C, there's no way to fully comprehend the way we have harnessed the power, expanded the performance envelope, locked in a new level of precision and taken the lead in aerobatic flying technology.
This new breed of Pitts Specials, Aviat's only production model, more than meets the demands of today's aerobatics. We have brought trumpets into the aerobatic box, heralding a new athleticism, a sinuous grace, a vibrant form of aerobatic energy. For contests, airshows, training, or pure excitement the Pitts S-2C sizzles and dazzles.
Vertical lines are where the S-2C beats them all. You have never seen the kind of hang time that's possible in an S-2C. After improving the wing tip shape, flattening the belly, improving the engine cowling and redesigning the windshield, this model cruises 15 mph faster than the earlier model. Precision point rolls are possible at any speed thanks to the new wings and world class stick centering. The new aerodynamic vertical and horizontal tails make manoeuvring in any direction a snap.

Earlier this month, the Illinois State Board of Education released data on the use of undesignated or "stock" epinephrine (i.e. epinephrine not prescribed for a specific child) in Illinois schools for the 2014-2015 school year.
Illinois school districts, public schools, and nonpublic schools are allowed to maintain a supply of undesignated epinephrine auto-injectors and have trained personnel to recognize and respond to anaphylaxis of any person that the staff member believes is having an anaphylactic reaction.
Illinois law requires that any school that uses stock epinephrine must report that usage to the state within three days of the incident. A bill strongly advocated by FARE, awaiting the governor's signature, would expand that reporting requirement to include any school that chooses to stock undesignated epinephrine, even if it is not administered.
The new report confirms that the availability of stock epinephrine has been critical to the health and well-being of students with unknown allergies and also to the vulnerable teenage population. Among the findings:
- Seventeen districts representing 59 public schools reported 65 administrations of undesignated epinephrine.
- The city of Chicago Public School District 299 (comprising 20 percent of statewide students) reported the greatest number of administrations (63.1 percent) while Waukegan School District 60 had the second greatest number of administrations (6.1 percent).
- Six school districts reported more than 1 undesignated epinephrine administration while six individual schools reported at least 2 administrations.
- The most frequent ages of the persons receiving a dose of epinephrine were 15 and 16.
- Among the students and staff members who received epinephrine, 27 (41.5 percent) had a previously-known diagnosis of a severe allergy, while 38 (58.5 percent) were not previously diagnosed with a severe allergy.
- In more than a quarter (28 percent) of epinephrine administrations in which there was a previously known allergy and a food-related trigger, the specific trigger was identified as peanut or a "peanut-related food" (the highest percentage category).
- Out of 65 individuals receiving epinephrine, eight reported having multiple triggers and one reported having two different categories of triggers.
To date, 49 states have laws or guidelines allowing or requiring undesignated epinephrine in schools, but not every school is participating.
Learn more about how to advocate for stock epinephrine in your school by downloading FARE's "Advocating for Epinephrine in Your School" toolkit.

10 Reasons I Won't Apologize For Wearing My Partner's Clothes When I Was Postpartum
I've said it before and you'll likely hear me say it over and over again: women (or those perceived as women) are held to ridiculous beauty standards. People who have just given birth are expected to "bounce back" or "look adorable" or "lose the baby weight" immediately. This is not only potentially unhealthy, it's also unrealistic. I refuse to care about how I look postpartum, and that's just one of the many reasons why I won't apologize for wearing my partner's clothes when I was postpartum.
With so many other things to worry about, like keeping a human being that just exited my body (along with organ I created) alive, I refuse to be held to image standards that I don't agree with in the first place. There was a time I was extremely image conscious. I look back over my first limited supply of postpartum pictures and I can see the look of panic at having my picture taken. I remember my desperate attempts to hide my no-more-baby-bump behind lumpy sweaters and layers. I can see the anxiety that my carefully crafted look will fall apart as quickly as my free-flowing shirt can bare my stretch-marked belly.
The truth is, dear reader, I am happier when I'm comfortable and I'm comfortable when I'm not worried about my looks. Turns out I'm most comfortable postpartum when I'm in my partner's clothes ,and I refuse to apologize for that. Here's why:
Because They're Comfortable
There is something about a postpartum body that is insanely uncomfortable. What is that something, you ask? Oh, you know. Just everything. Everything is totally uncomfortable about a postpartum body. At least, that is the case for me.
Being in my partner's comfortable clothes helped me focus less on my lopsided tummy and more on baby snuggles.
Because My Clothes Didn't Fit Postpartum
Sometimes, honestly, they still don't fit. I am not above wearing my partner's clothes now, either. I especially like the tighty-whiteys. They're so comfy! (And actually, they're blue.)
Because They Make Me Feel Close To My Partner
When we are not close physically or emotionally during newborn times, wearing my partner's clothes helps me feel close to him. Feeling close to him reminds me that we're in this parenting gig together and even when we don't have time to acknowledge it.
Because They Smell Like Him
Yep. I totally went there. One of the reasons I fell for him is because the guy smells great!
Because It's A Time-Saver
All new parents know the chaos of mornings, especially when you have multiple children and adults who need to be multiple places at multiple times. Sometimes I just don't have time to try on my own clothes and see which ones fit my ever-changing postpartum body. I know that those flannel pajama bottoms and "Papa" shirt will work just fine for the walk to my home office or the drive to drop off the bigger kids at school.
Because It's A Throwback
When I was in high school I wore incredibly baggy clothes, to the point that you cold barely tell there was even a person in them. Sometimes wearing my partner's clothes makes me feel like a teenager again.
Because They're The Only Clean Pajama Pants
Newborns are hard. They don't often let me put them down to do laundry. Thus, the one or two pair of my pajama pants that fit me postpartum get dirty pretty quickly. So if his are there and at least semi-clean? They're on.
Because They're Replaceable
My partner, bless his heart, has what we jokingly refer to as "the uniform." For the entire time we've known each other, and likely well before that, he generally can be found in a standard outfit: blue jeans and a black shirt, sometimes pajama pants at home. Parenting is messy and black shirts are pretty easily replaceable, so this is kind of awesome.
Because I Feel Like It
I just do.
What's that old saying? Something about when mama's happy, everybody's happy?
Because Why Should I Apologize?
Seriously, why should I apologize for wearing my partner's clothes? He doesn't care, so why should anyone else?
The one person I will apologize to for wearing his clothes is my partner, and even then it's only a very specific apology. When my leaking boobs stained his favorite shirt? Yeah. That actually happened. Sorry, babe.

2021 Nissan Juke Interior Changes, Release Date, Redesign
2021 Nissan Juke Interior Changes, Release Date, Redesign – The Juke happens to be a vehicle that offered folks a adore or detest atmosphere. It's unique appearance, and functional interior created a lot of people who purchase it. In reality, it was 1 of the much better-promoting crossovers in their type on the US marketplace which is no straightforward accomplishment. Nonetheless, the car has been available since 2010, and then in the meantime, it did not modify a tad.
It would appear that a new design could be on the way to create with this 2021 Nissan Juke. The particular initially concept has become presently exhibited by Nissan a good although earlier along with typically the Juke EV.
This unique comes along with a brand-new design structure and a suitable modern powertrain. When the second option might not exactly go deep into creation as quickly as hoped, the concept seems intriguing.
Exterior And Interior
Nissan's idea for typically the brand new Nissan Juke will be fantastic. They exhibited many front door compact energy vehicle, much like the initial C-HR idea. In the entrance, the car characteristics Nissan's new V-designed business appear consisting of a considerable grille and thin and swept back again front lights. The same style of design had also been used on typically the completely new Altima.
The unique circular front lights at present located on the Juke are probably likely to be substituted by new V-designed fog-lights. These kinds of would get the same area as before, but the all-round design could be more hostile. The original concept intended for typically the Juke characteristics an instead innovative cabin which is improbable to be noticed on the creation car.
Nonetheless, Nissan introduced the brand-new Micra not that extended in the past. Thinking about the actual price of these two automobiles we may count on these people to feature an instead comparable establish of design cues.
First of all, the controls, infotainment program and weather conditions management must be the same. The 2021 Nissan Juke will almost certainly obtain related Heating and air conditioning air vents to the people available on the concept although the car seats will probably more than probable supply far better area bolsters.
2021 Nissan Juke Engine
Generally, there are rumors about this 2021 Nissan Juke obtaining a new crossbreed powertrain. This car could use a related powertrain to the particular Note e-Energy idea. The gasoline electrical generator could be a small 1.2 3-tube turbo when the electric powered motor would push top rims.
An electric battery would more than likely be mounted having an all-electronic range of above 50 a long way. The outcome needs to be an excellent contender for the Chevy Voltage without the need of the uninteresting sedan appearance.
At the top of that, often the US style can also be supposed to acquire a good 1.6-liter turbo-a number of using nearly anything in between 160 and even over 200 horsepower.
2021 Nissan Juke Price And Release Date
The Japanese automaker has not established a suitable release date for first time 2021 Nissan Juke, yet we need to see unique Juke only by the finish of 2021. The primary concentrate intended for the Yokohama-structured company is going to be the release of this modern Micra model type which is nearly established to look. Soon after you check this out supermini design on the industry, you can get Juke to adhere to soon after.

Only one Cathedral I had visited, Yorkminster, had given me a similar feeling. Impressive while you are there, but in many ways a true holy site only after you left it. Different in magnitude to the Wyrm's cavern, but a similar sense of something beyond my experience. I had to wonder why only one Cathedral felt so different from the others.
I also had an additional issue. I was going to face off against a Drake, another powerful Wyrm. And my choice of wizardly allies had just got an agreement from the bloody Rainbow Serpent to stay in place.
That was not something a wise person did. I was truly fucked.
A cloud hung over me despite the excitement from Fidelma and Isolde. Both were amazed they had seen one of the Wyrms. Many supernaturals did not believe in them, they were seen so rarely. One of the ironies of the world beyond the Veil was many still did not believe in things they could not relate to something they had experience with. This was despite many of them having passed through the Veil. Despite discovering a whole world beyond their previous experience. Wyrms went a step further. The powers they held had to be felt to be understood.
There seemed to be information beyond what I thought was the Veil. As if there were layers to the illusions and knowledge sinks that constructed the mystical curtain that separated the supernatural and normal worlds.
Maybe that was how the Veil worked. No one I had heard of then or now has suffered ill-effects from moving deeper. The initial breakthrough was another matter. Then again, taking the first step into anything life-changing was always the hardest. I knew that. I was still taking the first steps to letting people into my life.
Allies for a specific task were one thing. Working with people regularly was another. You had to divide up tasks and trust their competence at what they agreed to do. I still had trouble passing on long-term responsibility, even with Fidelma and Isolde's supernatural abilities.
Fidelma and Isolde were both hyped up by their experiences. I, on the other hand, was exhausted. First the visions, the dreams. Then summoning the strange fire. The act of calling that fire had been physically exhausting. The other events had been tiring in a different way. I wasn't happy about letting the ladies drive my truck home, but from what the Rainbow Serpent had told me, I had weeks, or at most months, before I needed to get the sword or tooth or whatever it was.


text: The largest non-gravitational force acting on GNSS satellites is the solar radiation pressure (SRP), which generates an acceleration of roughly 100 nm/s 2 opposite to the satellite-Sun direction and results in several-meter orbit errors. The Analysis Centre Software (ACS) developed by Geoscience Australia provides three types of SRP models to handle with such an effect: 1) analytical model, 2) semi-analytical model and 3) empirical model. In the analytical model, we use the simplest cannonball model that only considers the direct SRP effect in the satellite-Sun direction. In the semi-analytical model, we use a so-called adjustable box-wing model which considers the satellite configuration, satellite nominal attitude and estimable parameters of the optical properties. Regarding the empirical model, the latest ECOM (D2B1) model is applied in ACS. This study will investigate the impact of SRP mis-modelling on GNSS satellite orbit determination.

The Pond is the Commune, and Shao Bin is in the pond. This story about communism and fascism, is designed to shed light on the injustices and corruption present in China (as they would be anywhere). Shao Bin is a young man with a wife and young daughter, working at a fertilizer plant. This story seemed along the lines of Animal Farm, but from a Chinese perspective.
This novel is chalk full of imagery as metaphor. Bin often finds himself thinking things like, "You shouldn't play the lute to a water buffalo, he said to himself. Without doubt Song was ignorant of the fine arts, unable to appreciate real work." He seems to feel he has more artistic talent and appreciation than everyone around him.
Bin writes/draws political cartoons to shed light on the faults of his supervisors. However, he often finds that political corruption runs so deep among the higher ups in the commune, that his supervisors give rewards and take punishments seemingly on a whim. In fact, the response from his superiors with regards to his attempts to uncover their injustices was,"An ant can't shake a tree. If a mantis tries to stop a tractor, it will only get itself crushed. Please have second thoughts before you try again."
And, of course, this is the story of rage. This is the story of how angry one man can become when it feels like he is not treated equal to his peers when the basis for all of their existence and persistence seems to be based on achieving equality through communism. Ha Jin expresses his anger very explicitly at times, saying things like, "I screw your ancestors! I screw them pair by pair!" He waffles back and forth between threats, subversive publicized messages, and sucking up to the officials, yet it seems nothing works, so he often gets angry.
Ha Jin is a novelist and poet, and a professor of English at Boston University. Some of his more famous works include Waiting, Ocean Words, and Under the Red Flag.

The first 1.6 mile loop is nearly complete. A big thanks is due to everyone who has been turning out on Thursdays (including Lynn Willis who worked solo by headlamp well into the night to complete the connection between bridge 2 and 3). We are still working on the bridges near the creek area and are planning a major work day next Thursday (11/18 – 3:00 PM). We are anticipating an opening of the first loop soon. Meanwhile, Bob has moved the mini-ex to the 1-mile extension and is about 400 feet in. Stay tuned for updates on the opening of Rocky Knob Park. Until then, check out the bridges:

How much longer until the lower loop is opened and how long is the lower loop?

Why roaming across local mobile networks is still a pipe dream
Business interests of telcos, users' privacy issues, costs are likely to make plan difficult to implement
Wouldn't it be nice to let users hit by a mobile network disruption automatically switch to another telco's network?
The idea, broadly known as a heterogeneous network, or HetNet, was first mooted in Parliament in March last year.
The network allows users to hop across 3G, 4G or Wi-Fi networks, regardless of who operates them, during disruptions or when surfing is slow on one network.
It is an idea that will help the Government's long-term aim to ensure that wireless spectrum is maximised to meet rising mobile data demands.
It sounds great in theory, but will it happen?
No telco would expand capacity just to prepare for the unfortunate event of a breakdown on a rival's mobile network. The exercise is simply too costly. There is also the complication it creates when existing customers suffer from poor connection as their telco takes on the extra load.
Based on a check with the telcos and by looking at the current severely muted definitions of HetNet across the industry, such sharing - or "national roaming" in tech speak - is unlikely to materialise in reality.
The reason is simple: conflict of business interests.
No telco would expand capacity just to prepare for the unfortunate event of a breakdown on a rival's mobile network. The exercise is simply too costly.
There is also the complication it creates when existing customers suffer from poor connection as their telco takes on the extra load.
This is why Singtel, StarHub and M1 have not even started conversations on the charges for roaming onto each other's networks.
According to the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA), the idea is only at the "feasibility study" stage at present. And IDA does not want to interfere with commercial issues without justification.
There are also privacy issues, as people's mobile numbers and phone usage details would have to be shared with a rival telco for national roaming to take place.
Even if users consent to sharing this information, telcos would not be so naive as to hand over their customer database to a rival.
In Singapore, IDA has been working towards a form of HetNet that involves auto-switching between the 4G and Wi-Fi networks of the same telco.
The first trials are expected to start on Friday, in the Jurong Lake District, as part of IDA's smart nation drive.
Fibre broadband provider and fourth telco contender MyRepublic, which will issue 1,000 4G SIM cards to trial users, will let them test voice calls on their handsets, and auto-switch to a Wi-Fi network and vice versa.
Singtel will start its HetNet trial in Jurong Lake District next month, to let its Wi-Fi users auto-switch to its 4G network when the former is congested.
StarHub and M1 will also conduct similar trials in Jurong Lake District by year-end.
While the developments sound promising, mobile phone users should not hold their breath, for roaming across Singtel, StarHub and M1's networks to take place anytime soon.
Even in Holland, which rolled out national roaming following a 2012 disruption of operator Vodafone's mobile services, network switching is not automatic.
Users have to manually make a switch to another telco and are informed of extra charges. Also, they get only the essential voice and SMS services.
Vodafone's 2012 disruption affected about a quarter of its five million users for several days.
Using that as a reference point, national roaming in Holland will not kick in unless more than half a million users are affected for more than three days.
