text: What does it take to become a top NJ project graduation entertainment company? The answer is creativity, inventory, talent, and experience. Here's how it breaks down… most schools are seeking a one-stop-shop for their post prom or post grad celebrations. They realize it's a ton of work and requires a lot of man power to pull off a event of this magnitude. Additionally, if this event isn't marketed and promoted well the student's will choose not to attend. What Xplosive Entertainment, a NJ DJ based, upscale event production firm, does is start with the basics. We make school cool again! Knowing this is the last night in the brick lined hallways for these students, means we need to leave an incredible lasting memory. The combination of theatrical lighting, props and decor, a unifying theme, and fun activities including inflatables, music, games, and live performances ties the whole puzzle together. Our games and activities are unique and in most cases, never seen before. These can include a 30 person foosball table, LED illuminated ping pong tables, casino games, glow in the dark mini golf, basketball madness (a modern twist to pop-a-shot) to name a few. We are firm believers to incorporate music within each area to set the mood. For example, you may have a massage or yoga room needing very tranquil music to set the zen-like atmosphere. Then further down the hall, you may have a room setup as a dance club playing the hottest club and hip hop. The options are limitless. We encourage you to contact Xplosive Entertainment to learn more about making your next project graduation spectacular!

On World Cancer Day, the global health NGO, Project HOPE, is highlighting the importance of pediatric palliative care to help young terminally ill patients through their last months, weeks and days alongside their loved ones, as part of a pioneering program with its long-time partner, the Shanghai Children's Medical Center.
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines palliative care as an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families coping with life-threatening illness by preventing and treating pain and assessing a patient's physical, psychosocial and spiritual needs.
Project HOPE says palliative care and the importance of an interdisciplinary plan of care are relatively new concepts in China and the staff at SCMC has begun to incorporate this type of care with pediatric cancer patients. The Virginia-based global health development organization says health professionals are eager to further develop this expertise, which can serve as a model for the rest of China.
"There are more than 500 new cancer patients admitted to SCMC each year and some children with terminal cancer will experience their last moments of life at the hospital so the need for palliative care throughout the cycle of care is well recognized among health care professionals," said Lily Hsu, Director of Programs at Project HOPE in Shanghai.
Carma Erickson-Hurt, a Clinical Nurse Specialist who is a certified Advanced Practice Hospice and Palliative Nurse has served as a Project HOPE volunteer nurse in China and around the globe, teaching clinical care and end- of-life nursing skills to hundreds of nurses worldwide.
Mrs. Erickson-Hurt, of North Bend, Oregon, says pediatric palliative care includes the entire family and focuses on quality of life as defined by the individual patient and his/her family. She has trained SCMC nurses to address all issues relating to palliative care including pain management, communication and bereavement and says the principle message must focus on allowing the patient to define the care he/she needs to improve the quality of life during this heart-wrenching time.
"SCMC created a specially-designed room in the hospital where terminally ill patients and their families can spend precious time together to communicate, play and be there for each other with the support of nurses who are sensitive to the family's unique needs" said Mrs. Erickson-Hurt. She is an Instructor of ELNEC (End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium), and also worked with the Wuhan University HOPE School of Nursing and Project HOPE's Wuhan Office to conduct Advanced Palliative Care Training to over 90 nurses from local hospitals representing oncology, ICU and rehabilitation departments.
"For the family, there are few experiences which are as difficult to navigate emotionally as the end of life care of a young family member," Mrs. Erickson-Hurt said.
Social workers play a key role in Project HOPE's multidisciplinary approach at SCMC, enabling health professionals and family members to be better equipped to provide comfort and support at a unique and difficult time. The role of social worker at SCMC is seen as a model for other children's hospitals. Project HOPE has been working to improve the health of communities in China for more than 30 years through a strong partnership with the Ministry of Health in addressing needs and advancing health professional training with the support of corporate partners.
SCMC is one of the world's premier pediatric heart centers, performing lifesaving heart surgery on nearly 3,500 children each year. Project HOPE helped develop the facility, which opened in 1998, and has provided more than $37 million in medical equipment. HOPE continues to support SCMC through at least 16 training programs for professional health care workers in the areas of diabetes, children's nutrition, HIV/AIDS and nurse training.

I live in the high desert of Southern California. It's probably the only place in Los Angeles County where it snows on a regular basis. I've lived here about 25 years and for some reason I keep track of the weather; the temperature when I get up, if it's cloudy, raining, foggy, etc. It's almost the middle of July, Summer in the desert, this afternoon it was 70 and it sprinkled. The weather people say it's our normal monsoon season. We don't have a monsoon season, normal or otherwise, we have a fire season. Our last rain is in February or so and it doesn't rain again until October or so, that's normal. I've checked my journals and it has rained (sprinkled) the last couple years in the summer but in my opinion, that doesn't make in normal, it makes it weird. This is a picture off the front of my property, clouds - in July.
My little Palo Verde tree I received for my birthday is blooming. It must be happy.

Interesting Facts About the Bald Eagle
On the 20-th of June, 1782, the bald eagle was agreed to be the National Emblem of the United States of America. This bird was selected due to its distinct features and powerful wings. These traits are believed to be the synonym of the American nation's might. American Eagle Day was proclaimed in 1995 by President Bill Clinton and Tennessee Governor Don Sundquist. Now it is celebrated on June 20 every year in 47 states.
American Eagle Day hasn't become the federal holiday in the United States yet, it is up to you whether to celebrate it or not. Continue reading to learn interesting facts about the main hero of this celebration – the bald eagle!
Quick Facts about Bald Eagles
- Bald eagles are actually not bald. Before the word 'bald' started to mean 'hairless,' it used to mean 'white.' For this reason, this type of eagles was called like that. Haliaeetus leucocephalus, translated as "white-headed sea eagle" is a Latin name of this species. these birsd have a brown body, yellow legs and feet, and a hooked bill, as well as a white tail and head.
- A bald eagle is unique to North America. This species is considered to be unique to this continent. In North America, they can be encountered in multiple locations from Alaska to the north of Mexico.
- Bald eagles are predators. Most often, bald eagles eat fish. Their diet also includes rodents and smaller birds. They either hunt for their meals by themselves, or sometimes steal food from other birds.
- Female eagles are larger. The length of bald eagles' bodies is about 3 feet. Males are usually smaller than females. The wingspan can be as large as 6 feet for males and 7 feet for females. When their wings are outstretched, bald eagles become about 6-feet tall.
- Bald eagles are monogamous. The mating season usually begins in late September and ends in early April. The periods may change from region to region. Once bald eagles find their mate, they live and do everything together. They build their nest on tops of trees using sticks. The nests of these birds are proven to be the biggest among other species of birds. The pair of eagles lives together until one of them dies. Afterwards, the bird that survived usually finds a new mate.
- A bald eagle has a success story in wildlife. In the 1700s approximately 500,000 bald eagles used to be in North America. However, as a result of habitat loss, hunting and deaths caused by the DDT (a pesticide), the population became as small as 500 pairs. Due to the ban on the use of DDT, it was possible to replenish the population to over 70,000. Bald eagles have been excluded from the list of the endangered species, and now they are regarded threatened. Still, much work has to be done to protect the birds from hunting and habitat loss.
Now when you know all these facts, share them with your family and friends on American Eagle Day!

Free Craft Books to Download on Kindle
Free Knitting and Craft Books. Finding books online: You should check for free versions of older books before buying older ones to download, as many are now in the public domain (the ones people charge money for have often been reformatted in some way). Searching for specific terms, like "embroidery" instead of "sewing or "knitting" instead of "craft" is often necessary, as there are few keywords in free books descriptions to help you find them!
Kindle Books- You can download a kindle app to read these on your computer, phone, and iPad. Kindle books might not work on the Nook, Sony, or other eBook readers. These book can all be found to download for kindle or can be read through the Gutenberg website (which often has the pictures for the book, if available).
Exercises in Knitting. No pictures for most of the patterns. Includes patterns to make finished items and patterns to design your own (lace patterns, etc). Patterns do not tell you what abbreviations mean (for increases, for example), so it is hard to tell if the patterns are correct. Handbook of Wool Knitting and Crochet Includes instructions for sweater, hats, gloves/mittens, scarves, etc in knit and crochet. The Ladies' Work-Book Containing Instructions In Knitting, Crochet, Point-Lace, etc Includes both a large number and wide variety of patterns, from childern's clothing to housewhere.
The Ladies' Work-Table Book Containing Clear and Practical Instructions in Plain and Fancy Needlework, Embroidery, Knitting, Netting and Crochet
Variety of patterns, limited instructions (old patterns did not include as much information as patterns do now) Embroidery and Tapestry Weaving. Includes information on tools, set up, and weaving.
Vegetable Dyes Being a Book of Recipes and Other Information Useful to the Dyer. This book needs a review all by itself. Suffice to say, like most old dye book, the information may not be completely accurate (this book contains information on dyeing with dandelion root, which people have not been able to duplicate the color of). Vegetable Dyes is, however, an interesting read, and unlike many of the natural dye book on the market, is chock full of text and information, not just pictures.
Embroidery and Needlework Books: Beeton's Book of Needlework. Tatting, knitting, and embroidery patterns. Keep in mind that written patterns often use different language and make different assumptions than we do now.Art in Needlework No pictures, but describes various embroidery types and stitches. General Craft Books: Things To Make by Archibald Williams
Geared more towards the home inventor than crafter, it is all about building models and useful things for the home (shed, bench, rain gauge…). However, there are no pictures in the free version. A Course In Wood Turning by Otto K. Wohlers and Archie S. Milton. Exactly as it sounds. Gutenberg version of Wood Turning includes detailed pictures.

Las Vegas, Nov. 11, 2015 – Wounded warriors and their guests will be treated to a VIP Veterans Day weekend as MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM), in conjunction with American Airlines and the USO of Metropolitan Washington-Baltimore, rolls out the red carpet in Las Vegas.
The five-day event, Nov. 13-17, is "A Salute to the Troops" weekend and includes a "Wall of Gratitude" where hundreds of MGM Resorts employees will gather to welcome and thank the veterans as they parade through The Mirage Hotel & Casino upon the group's arrival. There will also be a special welcome dinner, and excursions in and around Las Vegas and Southern Nevada. Special stops include: Terry Fator: The VOICE of Entertainment at The Mirage, Cirque du Soleil's "O" at Bellagio Resort & Casino and a concert by Gary Sinise and the LT. Dan Band. Skydiving and helicopter tours in the Las Vegas area are also part of the plans.
"We are honored to partner with American Airlines and the USO-Metro to host these brave veterans and their loved ones who have sacrificed so much to preserve our safety and freedom," said Jim Murren, Chairman and CEO of MGM Resorts International. "It is our hope that this year's 'Salute to the Troops' weekend conveys our company's deep respect and gratitude to these heroes by showing them the very best our city and MGM Resorts have to offer."
American Airlines will furnish chartered air travel and other support during "A Salute to the Troops" weekend, while MGM Resorts International and its properties will provide accommodations, meals, entertainment, and other amenities.
The weekend kicks off Friday morning at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport with a send-off celebration for the wounded warriors, veterans and their guests. They will board an American Airlines special flight with planned gate festivities and a water cannon salute to our veteran heroes.
"On behalf of our nation's wounded troops and their caregivers, I can tell you that MGM Resorts' amazing generosity and support means a great deal to those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom," said Elaine Rogers, president and CEO of the USO-Metro. "We're incredibly thankful to MGM Resorts for helping us show the gratitude of the American people for our troops and their families."
When the VIPs arrive in Las Vegas, they will receive a police escort from McCarran International Airport to The Mirage.

Is 2017 going to be the year you buy your first home? Whether it feels impossible or achievable, here are some simple, practical steps you can take to get that bit closer to becoming a home owner:
Investigate monthly outgoings – When saving for a deposit, every pound counts! Getting into good habits now will lead to increased levels of monthly savings, taking you closer and closer to your first home. Think about areas where you could be saving money, whether the amounts are small or large. Perhaps you're not fully utilising that monthly magazine subscription or gym membership?
Keeping a record of your spending may help with this. Investigate regular costs and see if savings can be made on items such as food, clothing or entertainment.
Improve your credit rating – Consider setting up direct debits on any regular expenses such as credit cards and utility bills to improve your credit rating. Also, ensure you're on the electoral roll too, as lenders may conduct these types of checks.
Set up a savings account – Putting away a fixed amount of money each month into a savings account where access to the account is restricted is a great, disciplined approach to saving that will help you build up the deposit you need more quickly.
Get the mortgage that suits you best – There are so many mortgage products and deals on the market that it's worth thinking very carefully about what will suit you best. Think about how long you may want to live in your property and whether a fixed or variable rate mortgage will work for you. With interest rates being low, it may be worth considering a remortgage in a few years' time. If mortgages leave you feeling confused, it's well worth speaking to a mortgage advisor and family, friends and relatives about their own experiences.
At Redstones, we appreciate that this is a lot for you to consider and plan for. We're therefore always keen to advise first-time buyers any way we can. Whether you're looking to buy or rent right now, find out what Redstones can offer.

November 16, 2011 — Coronary thrombectomy in conjunction with percutaneous coronary intervention improved the rates of ST-segment elevation resolution when compared to a control group but did not show large differences in reduction of infarct size.
Results of the MUSTELA (A Prospective, Randomized Trial of Thrombectomy vs. no Thrombectomy in Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction and Thrombus-Rich Lesions) trial were presented at the 23rd annual Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) scientific symposium. TCT was sponsored by the Cardiovascular Research Foundation.
Thrombectomy is the removal of a blood clot, or thrombus. The trial's purpose was to determine whether coronary thrombectomy as an adjunct to primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) in patients with high thrombotic burden improves myocardial perfusion and reduces infarct size. Efficacy was assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
In this multi-center prospective trial, researchers randomized 208 consecutive patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), pain-to-balloon-time <12 hours, and angiographic evidence of high thrombotic burden (thrombus grade ?3). Patients were randomized to either standard PPCI (Group A) or PPCI with thrombectomy (Group B) in a 1:1 ratio. The thrombectomy arm was divided between use of rheolytic and aspiration thrombectomy devices.
The primary endpoints were infarct size at three months (assessed with delayed-enhancement MRI) and ST-segment elevation resolution greater than 70 percent at 60 minutes after primary PCI.
ST-segment elevation resolution of greater than 70 percent occurred in 37.3 percent of the control group and 57.4 percent of the thrombectomy group.
Infarct size (IS) was reduced 19.3 percent in the control group and 20.4 percent in the thrombectomy group. A further analysis showed presence of myocardial vascular obstruction (MVO) in the control group together with less dysomogeneus scar (islands of viable myocardium inside the IS.)
Both thrombectomy systems showed to be feasible with a slight advantage for rheolytic thrombectomy.
"There were no coronary complications associated with thrombectomy," said Anna Sonia Petronio, M.D., the lead investigator of the trial. Petronio is an associate professor and head of the cath lab in the cardiothoracic and vascular department at the University of Pisa in Italy.

Ferry Services
Parliamentary Question February 2017
David Stewart (Highlands and Islands) (Scottish Labour):
To ask the Scottish Government, further to its statement on Scotland's ferry services on 2 February 2017, what impacts the review of ferry service procurement will have on its 2012 Ferries Plan, which covers the period to 2022.
Humza Yousaf: The Ferries Plan 2013-2022 contained proposals on vessel investment and replacement, pier and harbours upgrades, new and improved ferry services and timetables and fares reductions. The policy review of ferry service procurement is unlikely to have an impact on the delivery of these proposals. Scottish Parliament

How To: Instagram for Business
In our last post we shared best practices for using Instagram for business. We've got examples of each of these practices being used to help you assess your own page and have a clear, visual guide for how to up your Instagram game.
Examples of Instagram for Business Best Practices
Use the Right Account
Your Instagram page should be set up as a business account to maximize your use. The example on the left is a business page, the right is a personal account.
Jersey Wine & Spirits uses an Instagram for business account, according to our best practices. This allows them to add information like their type of business, hours, facebook, suggested hashtag, website, location and one click access to calling, emailing or getting driving, walking or mass transit directions.
Snobbeery is a beer photographer. Because Forrest is a hobbyist this is a personal page. Notice the elements missing? Each example is perfect for the type of account. If you're looking for what to drink in the NYC area we can't recommend either of these accounts enough!
Use Emojis (Properly)
Emojis are a quick, cute way to communicate ideas. Your emojis should have to do with your brand image and match the message. And please, don't go overboard. On the left is an example of good emoji use. The one on the right needs a little help.
The page on the left is cute and quick. Coffee plus jet fuel equals a big smile. We still haven't figured out what Chevy is getting at.
Tag Influencers
Interactions are key. Be sure to tag brands, products and influencers both in your Instagram pictures and in the comments. Here's what we mean:
Play With Your Words
Never be afraid to break out a clever pun, play on words or humor when using Instagram for business. Two of our favorite examples are Ruffles and a daring joke from Charmin (which was wildly successful).
We hope this list of Instagram best practices in action inspires you to change up your social media game and test out new types of posts. Be sure to share your Instagram practices in the comments. Who knows, maybe we'll feature you in a later post. And don't forget, Digital Firefly Marketing provides free social media audits.

Wirehouses need to "move into the new world of financial advisors," says Erik Strid.
He worked at Wells Fargo Advisors for 11 years before leaving in February 2014 to launch Concentus Wealth Advisors in King of Prussia, Pa., with his brother and father. With Strid as chief executive, the RIA manages $415 million in assets.
The RIA structure ranks as critically important to his success since leaving the wirehouse, he says.
"This whole world of broker-dealer FINRA operations is so conflict-ridden," Strid says. Wirehouses "need to move rapidly to a day when they can truly say an advisor truly is a fiduciary," he says.
Advisors need to charge clients for advice, plain and simple and engage in no other less-straightforward compensation systems, Strid says.
He recognizes, however, that "this is a difficult thing for the wirehouses to do." The obstacles are numerous, including the challenge of retooling such large employee rosters to make those changes, Strid says.
But Strid thinks that no other realistic choice exists. "Otherwise, they are going to bleed market share," as advisors leave, taking their clients with them to establish RIAs.
Two decades ago, Mark Suszan left his employer, a national investment advisory company that sells proprietary products through its financial advisors, to start his own firm, an affiliate of Raymond James in Franklin, Mich. His former employer required advisors to offer both products and services to clients, based on its needs.
Suszan thinks that he has benefited from the opportunity to offer his clients "concierge" services.
When an ultrahigh-net-worth client needs a half a million dollars overnight to buy a boat, Suszan can use his own security line of credit and get the money there. That kind of customized service, possible as an independent, inspires loyalty. "He becomes a very sticky client," Suszan says.
Will the advantages of independence spell the end of the wirehouse world?
Not immediately, says Duane Thompson. He would be the first to say otherwise, having waged one of the toughest campaigns against that corner of the industry.
Now president and founder of Potomac Strategies, a consulting firm in Kensington, Md., and a senior policy analyst for fi360 in Bridgeville, Pa., a fiduciary training firm, Thompson previously served as managing director of the Washington office of the FPA. He held that position more than a decade ago when the FPA launched a battle with the wirehouses over a regulatory exception that the SEC allowed for that part of the financial services industry.
Some view that battle, which the wirehouses eventually lost, as the first significant one in a still-raging war to make all advisors adhere to the same fiduciary-defined conflict-free regulatory rules.
Thompson thinks that wirehouses will continue to see "a steady trickle of advisors leaving" but no floods yet. "They still dominate," he says.

Sometimes South Carolina residents can incur debts that eventually become difficult to pay, leading to high levels of stress and anxiety. When those debts become overwhelming, Chapter 7 bankruptcy can be a viable option.
Recently, a well-known college football coach filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection. The reason for the petition is related to real estate investment debts. The petition shows the coach has assets worth from $1 million to $10 million. However, his debts are listed at $10 million to $50 million. The recent filing is only preliminary, and more details concerning his financial standing will be added at a later time. The coach has openly discussed his financial situation so that it would not become an issue or distraction while coaching his football team.
He claims that his land investments were detrimentally affected by the poor real estate market. While some people feel embarrassment or shame about having to claim chapter 7, this coach was very candid about his situation. While he doesn't want his new university to suffer any embarrassment, he also stated that while he did make some mistakes, things like this can happen to anyone. The University of Arkansas athletics director has stated the coach has been open about his situation and considering the state of the economy, there were no hard feelings for what occurred.
Bankruptcy can happen to anyone at any time. Consumers are often affected by high debt loads and insufficient income to cover their debt service. With the combination of a sluggish economy and slumping real estate market, anyone can find themselves underwater when it comes to debt. For South Carolina residents in such a situation, Chapter 7 may be a good way to help discharge many of those debts and begin with a clean financial start.

Day 55: On The Other Side
On the other side of this reality lies the truth that was always here. I am determined to see what has been unseen. I am determined to be clear. Each step I take towards what I want for me is a step away from truth. It is a step towards what the world would tell me is my own best interest, but it isn't what God would have for my life. God did not create destruction and famine and disease. He did not create a world to watch it be destroyed. He create peace and love and hope. He created us to live in truth and in love, but those things don't exist when we look through the ego's eyes.
I am determined to see the truth that exists on the other side of this reality. I am determined to escape the ego's construct of doubt and fear. When thoughts of attack and anger arise in my mind, I will choose to give them up. My thoughts will be the thoughts of the Spirit and the Spirt thinks of only love. What I seek, I shall find. What I pursue, I shall capture. I live the life that I first project in my mind. I can choose the movie though. I can choose the reality that is mine. I am determined to see things differently, to give up the thoughts of attack and anger and hate. I know that I need to give those things up because they are not what is best. I find no joy or peace in those destructive thoughts.
I want peace, but I often don't know what is best for me. On this side of reality, my vision is clouded by the trappings of the world. I have invested far too much energy in trying to prove that the depressing illusions of this world are real. I have spent far too much of my time trying to justify feeling bad instead of reconnecting with the source of all creation. From this day forward, I will choose to stay connected to the source. I will choose to give up the struggle towards saving my illusions and I will pursue what is real. For nothing that is real can be threatened, and nothing that is unreal exists. What I have thought was best for sustaining my illusions is what is unreal. I will no longer fight for what is not there.
I am determined to see differently. I am determined to give up the illusion. I am determined to see truth. I am determined to live life on the other side of the coin of reality. I will live on the side of truth and no longer on the side of illusion. What will you choose?
To Your Success,

I experimented
with new techniques and different materials, succeding in doing what i want
to propose you,that is my pictures.
T hey represent the fruit of many years of experimentation
on materials and in particular on marble.
This technique make me use the marble as if it was fluid colour.
A s regards sculpture, I prefer the realistic one. For this reason I want to combine polychromic marble inlays. anyway I think art must be aesthetic. it must not be hidden by experimentalism.

After nearly a quarter century of wearing a black robe to work, a Vietnam veteran is retiring.
After nearly a quarter-century of wearing a black robe to work, a Vietnam veteran is retiring.
Eighth Judicial Circuit Court Judge Robert Cates will retire on Monday.
Cates was appointed to the bench in 1987 to replace a retiring judge and has been re-elected continuously since then.
In addition to presiding over thousands of criminal, civil and family law cases, Cates has served as the circuit's chief judge.
In 1999, while serving as chief judge, Cates issued the order addressing space and security concerns at the courthouse in Gainesville that led to the Alachua County Commission voting to build the Alachua County Criminal Justice Center that was put into use in 2004.
Cates is a Jacksonville native who earned his first degree from the University of Florida in 1964. Following his graduation, he earned a Bronze Star while serving as a Navy officer in Vietnam.
Cates returned to Gainesville to attend law school, then spent 16 years in private practice before being appointed to the bench.

Soloists Include Violinist Movses Pogossian, Soprano Joélle Harvey and
LACO Principal Trumpet David Washburn
Concert also Marks Final Performance of Principal Viola Roland Kato,
Who Is Retiring after 40 Years with Orchestra
Saturday, September 24, 8 pm, Alex Theatre, Glendale;
Sunday, September 25, 7 pm, UCLA's Royce Hall
Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra (LACO), one of the nation's premier orchestras and a leader in presenting wide-ranging repertoire and adventurous commissions, presents a program of musical contrasts to open its 2016-17 season, its final under the leadership of esteemed Music Director Jeffrey Kahane, who steps down at the end of the season. On Saturday, September 24, 8 pm, Alex Theatre, Glendale, and Sunday, September 25, 7 pm, UCLA's Royce Hall, Kahane conducts Beethoven's ecstatic Symphony No. 7, Mozart's radiant Exsultate, jubilate: "Alleluia" with soprano Joélle Harvey and Bach's joyous Cantata No. 51, "Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen," featuring Harvey and LACO Principal Trumpet David Washburn. These masterpieces are juxtaposed with the somber but transcendent Violin Concerto No. 2, "Four Serious Songs," by Tigran Mansurian, widely considered the world's greatest living Armenian composer, featuring Armenian-born violinist Movses Pogossian, winner of the 1986 Tchaikovsky Competition, who regularly collaborates with Mansurian.
The concert also marks LACO Principal Viola Roland Kato's final performance with the Orchestra. He is retiring 40 years after making his first appearance with the Orchestra under the baton of Sir Neville Marriner. Appointed Principal Viola in 1987, the internationally acclaimed viola recitalist and soloist is described as "a brilliant virtuoso, playing with the perfect combination of energy and eloquence" (Los Angeles Times). Kato has also held the principal position in the LA Opera Orchestra, the Pasadena Symphony, the California Chamber Symphony and the Pasadena Chamber Orchestra. A sought-after chamber musician as well, he has been featured in numerous chamber series in Los Angeles and has appeared as a guest artist with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and has performed with the New York New Music Ensemble. Kato produced the first-ever recording of Telemann's Quatrième livre de quatuors, a collection of chamber pieces performed on period instruments, which earned a Grammy nomination. In addition, his arrangements and transcriptions have been performed worldwide.
Pogossian, heralded for his "enormous skill and conviction" (Boston Globe), is the youngest-ever first-prize winner of the USSR National Violin Competition and artistic director of the critically acclaimed Dilijan Chamber Music Series. After making his American debut in 1990 with the Boston Pops, he has performed around the globe with members of the Tokyo, Kronos and Brentano string quartets and such artists as Kim Kashkashian, Jeremy Denk and Lynn Harrell. Passionately committed to new music, Pogossian has premiered more than 50 works, and his recent release of Complete Works for Violin by Stefan Wolpe was named one of the top ten contemporary records of 2015 by The Sunday Times (UK). He is Professor of Violin at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music, and participates in the Music for Food project, which uses music to raise awareness about global hunger. Pogossian also serves as LACO guest artist-in-residence this fall. Activities of his residence include a masterclass with members of the Glendale Youth Orchestra and Verdugo Young Musicians Association, and other special community concerts and events planned in conjunction with Glendale Arts. Pogossian's residency with Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra is supported, in part, by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Los Angeles County Arts Commission.
Harvey, "a soprano of uncommon talent" (San Jose Mercury News) whose voice has been hailed as "crystalline" (The Boston Globe) and "lovely" (Washington Post), is recognized as one of the most promising young talents of her generation. She has appeared with the Royal Opera, Covent Garden; the Killkenny Festival; Handel & Haydn; San Francisco and Dallas symphonies; Utah Opera; New York and Los Angeles philharmonics; and Cleveland Orchestra, among others.
Washburn, praised for "impeccable trumpet playing" (San Francisco Classical Voice) that is "agile and precise" (The New York Times), in addition to serving as LACO principal trumpet, is associate principal trumpet of the LA Opera Orchestra and principal trumpet with the California Philharmonic. Active in the recording industry, he has numerous motion picture soundtracks to his credit, including Avatar, A Beautiful Mind, Windtalkers, A Perfect Storm, Titanic and Deep Impact. Washburn has been a featured soloist with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Lincoln Center Chamber Music Society and the Santa Fe, La Jolla and Music@Menlo chamber music festivals. Washburn is a Yamaha Performing Artist.
Concert Preludes, pre-concert talks held one hour before curtain and free for ticket holders, provide insights into the program's music and artists. Following the performance, ticket holders are invited to mingle with LACO musicians in the lobby at an after-party, which includes complimentary drinks and appetizers.
Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra (LACO), proclaimed "America's finest chamber orchestra" by Public Radio International, has established itself among the world's top musical ensembles. Since 1997, LACO has performed under the baton of acclaimed conductor and pianist Jeffrey Kahane, hailed by critics as "visionary" and a conductor with "effortless musicality and extraordinary communicative gifts." Under Kahane's leadership, the Orchestra maintains its status as a preeminent interpreter of historical masterworks and a champion of contemporary composers.
Steinway is the official piano of Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra.
Tickets, starting at $27, are on sale now and may be purchased online at laco.org or by calling LACO at 213 622 7001.

During our massive home regeneration project it would be fair to say the least favourite of the project for me was the hallway, stars and landing …
Our home has only a small area in front of the front door that is classed as a hallway as it has the stairs coming off it, the front door and 3 other internal room doors … the landing again is not the largest as its more of a rectangle with the upstairs room doors leading from it and with no window of its own the main light source is from the front door itself.
Needless to say when I moved in 6 years ago it got a coat of magnolia emulsion, some white gloss and a cheap brown carpet … there was no real inspiration just a make do job until funds were better.
However the carpet was looking shabby and the walls were marked with a million small person finger prints so it was due to have a little love, although I thought hubs would point out a more valid use for the pennies but to my surprise he was just as eager to give it a facelift too having seen his parents new hallways and how nice that looked.
I wanted this time to step away from the magnolia and decided instead on Dulux Nutmeg White in silk and initially I was concerned with the only light source being the front door that it might be too dark but in fact once it was on the walls it looks amazing and brought out the textures in the wallpaper I had put on 6 years ago.
Talking of the wallpaper, our house has massively old plaster and so in order to cut costs I decided to use Fresco style wallpapers in most of the house and I must say it was a super wise investment as the Maine White Vinyl paintable paper I used in the hall, stairs and landing is still looking super so a fresh coat of paint really did turn the room round.
I have recently fallen in love with a gloss primer and gloss itself from Homebase that is stay white and so easy to apply it was a dream to use on the stairs … Which I went for pure brilliant white for a crisp clean look.
We finished the decorating off with new 28cm diameter Lakheden light shades from Ikea which came flat packed and were super simple to put together, and when the lights are on it shines through beautifully.
With the small hallway being a walk through from the lounge to the rest of the house when the nights are dark we like to pull curtains across tomato the house feel a little more private and snug, obviously with the benefits of eliminating any drafts from the door too so I wanted some dark ish curtains but they had to be
plain but not flat in texture.
I fell in love with John Lewis Barathea Lined Eyelet Curtains in steel as they tied in beautifully with the stripped carpet we went for and also had a really thick texture in the material they gave a really good quality finish.
As for the carpet we fell in love with this one from the beginning and think it finished off the hallway, stairs and landing perfectly … so much so I am no longer embarrassed when I invite anyone into our house!
The whole project was super hard work while being pregnant as I wasn't the right shape to be getting up and down the ladders really but I think it has been well worth doing.

I left the stock 500GB 5400RPM drive in the drive, but I wanted more storage options and faster speed than a 5400 for moving large files around. The OWC SSD lets me work fast and the 7200 750GB lets me store big and fast(ish)... it's no SDD of course, but is still much faster than the stock drive.
Now I can partition, have an in computer time machine, multiboot, large storage, and an SSD powered machine all from one little amazing laptop.

This picture of my mother was taken in 1964, the day after her wedding to my father. This dress is the only leopard print piece she ever wore. I think it looks fantastic.
As far as prints were concerned, she was more likely to go for simple Breton stripes, or small flowers. Leopard print was something she considered 'tacky', or 'cheap'. And yet, here it is: the proof that she once wore it, too.
I must admit that for the most part I share her opinion on leopard print, at least as far as my own outfits are concerned. However, I think it can be quite elegant on the right person with the right attitude, like her in this picture.
I think this is the key to accessorising, especially with something eye-catching: let the accent / accessory steal the show, and the rest of the outfit is just the simple, plain background to show it off to maximum effect.
Any item of clothing or accessory with a 'diva attitude' - animal prints, cat's eye sunglasses, statement necklaces - looks best when paired with something plain, simple, modest. Something that lets's the diva take centre stage.
My mother knew this instinctively. And although I would never describe her as a diva (she was far too shy and modest for that; I've always been the one to claim the limelight...), she sure knew how to stand out in the crowd...

FORT WAINWRIGHT, Alaska – Fort Wainwright will launch an updated version of its automated recreational access system, USARTRAK, July 20. The update will require all current recreational access permit holders to re-register and obtain a new, free access pass for all recreation activities. After July 20, previously obtained access permits will no longer be valid.
The upgraded system found at http://usartrak.isportsman.net will have the following benefits for registered users:
• Faster and more reliable access to online and telephonic users in determining which military lands are accessible to all forms of recreation;
• Provide more areas accessible to recreation in Donnelly Training Area West;
• Communicate training area road closures in real time both online and telephonically;
• Will allow for training area check-in online, telephonically or by smart phone.
The USARTRAK update will better inform moose hunters of available land during general moose season Aug. 28 and run through Sept. 30. Information about available and restricted lands will be published through the USARTRAK iSportsman online site.
All sportsmen 16 and older may register for a free access permit at the above website or at one of three kiosk locations: Fort Wainwright Visitors Center, Fort Greely visitors Center, and the Fort Wainwright Natural Resource Office.
Fort Wainwright and U.S. Army Alaska (USARAK) will publish a list of the available Interior Alaska military lands available for moose hunting four weeks ahead of the normal timetable this year. The early announcement will be made no later than July 17 to allow hunters to better schedule and resource their hunts.
To ensure the safety of both sportsmen and Army personnel, Fort Wainwright Law Enforcement in partnership with Alaska Wildlife Troopers, will significantly increase active patrolling and enforcement of hunting regulations on military lands. Sportsmen will need to be extra vigilant to ensure they are accessing only those lands available to public recreation.
The Army reserves the right to adjust the available lands for hunting in order to facilitate unscheduled critical training in support of worldwide deployments. Maintaining military readiness to respond to worldwide contingencies is our No. 1 priority.
For more information, contact the Fort Wainwright Natural Resource Office at (907) 361-9686 during normal business hours from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. If no one is available to take your call please leave a message and they will return your call.

The collection has over 4000 prints covering a wide geographical range. Most works from North American, Asian and European artists. Although most printmaking technics can be found in the collection, a major part of the works represent analog intaglio.
Kathy Caraccio started collecting prints while still in college. Very early in her carreer, Kathy had the opportunity to work with Blackburn's studio collection, what influenced decisively the making of K. Caraccio's collection. Craftsmanship and honesty are determinant criteria for collecting. The act of collecting serves as much as a form of memory making and story telling as a teaching and research tool. Selected works are available for sale. Call or email to schedule a visit.

(Photo above: victims of "mentally ill" car jihad terrorist, December 2014)
Psychologist: poor, insane Muslim terrorists with family problems are still Muslim terrorists
By: Nicolai Sennels, psychologist
InA�connection with at least three Muslim terror attacks (one, two, three) this year police was able to, almost on the spot, diagnose the attacker as being suffering from mental illness. It always amazes me how authorities are able to, in a surprisingly short time, diagnose somebody. Being an experienced psychologist myself I know that it usually takes hours, most often days, weeks or even months, to correctly diagnose a person. For years we have seen how media, politicians and authorities downplay the very real threat of Islamic terrorism again and again, and many think that by quickly blaming psycho-social problems, the police is trying exempt Islam and Muslim immingration from blame and calm the public by not categorizing attacks as "terrorism". Instead they blame insanity, poverty (as when US' Secretary of State John Kerry concluded that lack of money "in many cases is the root cause of terrorism") orA�family problems (like in the case of the Chattanooga shooter Mohammad Youssuf Abdulazeez, where authorities very quickly sent out information about Abdulazeez' divorce). But there are many poor people in this world. There are many people with mental problems and people with family problems. So why is it that only Muslims, with or without the above mentioned problems, commit terror?
Having worked with criminal MuslimsA�(see my article: a�?Report from the therapy room: Why are Muslims more violent and criminal?a�?)A�and done extensive psychological analysis of Islam's texts for years, my take is that the enormous amounts of hate speech in the Quran (Allah's revelations through the angel Gabriel to Muhammad) and the Hadiths (Muhammad's equally holy words and deeds) functions as propaganda that makes the psychological step to follow these same books' hundreds of orders for Muslims to kill non-Muslims shorter and easier – no matter if you are sane, rich and have a happy family, or not.
I would not surprised if it turns out that people with a psychiatric diagnosis are over-represented among criminal Muslims. There may be several reasons for this. One is that inbreeding – which is known for increasing the risk of schizophrenia and other psychiatric problems, which again increase the likelyhood of violent behaviourA�- is exceedingly widespread among the followers of Islam (up to almost half of Muslims may be inbred) (see my article:A�Muslim Inbreeding: Impacts on intelligence, sanity, health and society). It can also be because violence is more accepted in upbringing in Muslim families – which is also known for increasing risk of psychiatric disorders and violent behavior. Finally it may be that the Quran is more likely to inspire people who are crazy and prone to violence, while sain people might reject these books as out-dated and barbaric.
Fact is that there are also people from other religions who have mental problems, who are poor or have problems in the family, but none of them (or at least much, much fewer – as in 1:1000) commit mass murder in the name of religion. If the latest wave of "mentally ill" terrorists had not been brought up with a religion that preach death and annihilation of non-believers, would they have committed their atrocities? I believe not.
The problem is not insanity, poverty or problems with family or relationship. The problem is a religion that preaches hate against people of all other faiths and orders its own followers to kill us. People with psycho-social problems who have been fed this religion since birth may be more vulnerable to act according to its God and prophet, but the root cause – the match that lit the fire, the cause without which these people would never have been told that killing is a good thing – is still the religion.

A beneficiary is someone who stands to benefit from the act of another. In the case of a will, a beneficiary receives specified property designated by the testator (the person making the will). In the case of a trust, a beneficiary is someone who has a present or future interest in the assets contained in the trust.
We can help protect your rightful inheritance under a will or reclaim trust property to which you were negligently or fraudulently denied. Through discovery proceedings designed to determine whether an asset belongs to the estate or to the person in possession of the property, we can recover wrongfully transferred assets.

Within the BPRC, one of the research themes is focused on two important infectious diseases that affect the poorest people in the world: malaria and tuberculosis. More information on tuberculosis can be found here. Malaria is caused by a parasite that is transmitted by mosquitoes and annually up to a million people, mostly children under the age of 5 in sub-Saharan Africa, die because of the disease. Existing drugs rapidly loose their activity due to the development of resistance by the parasite and really effective vaccines are not yet available. Given that policy makers are more and more convinced that malaria needs to be eradicated, research is focusing on development of new vaccines and drugs. Both vaccines and drugs are indispensable in a successful campaign to eradicate malaria. The malaria parasite has a complicated lifecycle, with development in the malaria mosquito as well as in liver and blood of its human host. This enormously complicates research on vaccines and drugs.
Animal models
Malaria parasites can infect humans, primates, rodents, birds and reptiles. We work with primate malarias in animal models, as the primate parasites are closely related to the human malaria parasites and the host, the rhesus monkey, is closely related to humans. Thus metabolism and immune system of the monkey are very similar to those of the human and studies in rhesus monkeys will be very predictive of the human situation. In addition, one of the most important human parasites uniquely can form dormant parasites in the liver that can re-activate at certain times and again cause malaria. This unique trait is only found in a few primate malarias and can thus only be studied in primates. The primate models we use are very well positioned to improve our understanding of malaria biology and to pre-clinically evaluate safety and efficacy of new vaccines and drugs. Apart from working with primate models we also put a lot of emphasis on refinement and reduction of animal use e.g. by developing culture systems for various developmental forms of malaria.
A large part of our research, that initially takes place with cultured parasites, focuses on discovery and development of new vaccines and drugs. We exploit the newest technologies to understand how a parasite works, how it interacts with its host and where it would be vulnerable. We also test new drugs against liver forms of the parasite in a uniquely developed culture model. Here our focus is on the sleeping liver forms that are extremely difficult to kill. Only when compounds have shown activity in this culture model they will be further evaluated in the primate infection model. Within the BPRC, a new vaccine, called AMA1, against the blood forms of malaria has been developed. The use of primate malaria models and vaccine production and analysis techniques has resulted in the first clinical testing of this vaccine in humans. This testing takes many years and is first only on safety, followed later by testing on efficacy.
