This term sometime rattles people… those who are not black… "well aren't we all beautiful?" Is the question that comes next. This question annoys me because… when has blackness been celebrated? And please don't bring up Ms. Berry.
Yes, beauty comes in all shades. I see beauty all around me… but let's be honest. When you saw "beauty" on TV, in the movies, and in magazines it was rare is was someone of color. Which lead many to believe, black isn't as beautiful.
If it makes you uncomfortable for a black women to celebrate her beautiful and that of her fellow black beauties you really should attempt to figure out why, especially since we had the most amazing and beautiful First Lady and she was talked about like a dog, yet someone who has a face full of work done is deemed as "stunning". It's amazing to me how things such as this can be over looked, ignored , and/or excused.
If my appreciation of the beauty of black, weather it be my black and others black offend you… I give no apology.

From our humble beginnings in 2004 of building a rustic patio cooler for a neighbor, our business has grown into a complete selection of rustic furnishings and decor.
Our first show was a single booth at Fredericksburg Trade Days, in Fredericksburg, Texas. With a pickup truck and a small selection of rustic items like patio coolers, tables, frames and Texas flags, we had our first show on a cold February weekend. We quickly discovered that there was a demand for rustic Texas-inspired items. We continue to expand our inventory with new items weekly and have now expanded to building display shelves and cabinets for several companies such as Samuel Adams, Mike's Hard Lemonade and Klein Brothers.
From that, we have now grown into a full-time presence across Texas at various Peddler Shows from Arlington to Corpus Christi and points in between and other Festivals such as the Bluebonnet and Scarecrow Festivals in Chappell Hill, Texas, and the Round Top, Texas show. We are even venturing out of the state this year and adding An Affair of the Heart show in Oklahoma City! For a complete schedule, click on the Show Schedule link above.
We offer rustic patio furniture such as patio coolers, cooler benches and chairs, planter boxes and tables, as well as rustic home furnishings such as hutches, corner cabinets, storage and shelving units, custom framing and much more. Also new is our popular customized rope signs and seasonal decorations. We have also expanded to building display shelves and cabinets for several companies in our rustic wood look and also new stained wood.
Choose from our selection or custom design your own pieces to fit your own taste! Our selection expands daily with new items and ideas so visit our product and photo section on a regular basis. You never know what you might find!
Please Note: Our website is under construction. We are trying to update it weekly. If we do not respond to emails promptly, please call 281-726-3065. Please be patient with us!

I made another potato salad recently that I love and my sister and I started reminiscing about our Grammy's potato salad. It was simple, yet we all loved it. I can't even imagine how many pounds of potatoes she must've boiled and chopped to fill up that gigantic yellow Tupperware for the family Fourth of July bbq every year, but I took a stab at re-creating it the other day on a smaller scale and it worked out well. I brought this to a potluck and it was gone very fast.
I like to "bake" my potatoes in the microwave for potato salad but baking them in the oven or boiling them works perfectly too so do whatever works for you.
Just Like Grammy's Potato Salad
3 lbs yellow, yukon gold, or russet potatoes, cooked & chopped
4 eggs, boiled & chopped
1/2 onion, diced
2-3 stalks celery, diced
4 dill pickle spears OR 2-3 large dill pickles, diced
2 Tb sweet pickle relish
3/4 tsp seasoned salt
fresh cracked pepper
1 Tb spicy mustard
1 c. mayo (maybe more)
paprika for sprinkling
Add potatoes, eggs, onion, celery, pickles and relish into a bowl and toss together. Stir in mustard and mayo. Taste and add more seasoning or mayo if needed. Pour completed salad into a serving bowl and sprinkle with paprika. Chill at least one hour before serving with just about anything!

4 things every LSU fan needs to know today
Have a great Tuesday, Tigers fans. Coach Les Miles spoke to the media on Monday and had plenty to talk about. Miles discussed last week's thrilling win over Florida and turned the page to this week's game against a talented Western Kentucky squad.
Here are four things to know:
- Miles said tight end Dillon Gordon would likely miss the rest of the season after aggravating an Achilles tendon injury Saturday night. Gordon had missed LSU's last three games while recovering from the original injury he suffered in September against Auburn.
- Could Miles be on a big screen near you? He recommended himself for a starring role in a Tom Cruise movie. The Mad Hatter wants to be the villain, too.
- It wasn't all fun and games for LSU, however. Miles submitted a couple of plays he deemed as late hits to the SEC offices for review.
- Guess what? Leonard Fournette was still the heavy favorite to win the Heisman Trophy in Bovada's latest odds. Shocking, I know.
Other LSU stories from around the Internet
- The Advocate's Ross Dellenger examined how the Tigers will cope without its starting tight end.
- USA Today's Nicole Auerbach wrote that LSU's offense is more than just Fournette. Quarterback Brandon Harris can contribute as well.
- NOLA.com's Jim Kleinpeter wrote about LSU defensive end Lewis Neal, who was awarded SEC Defensive Player of the Week honors.
The best stories around the SEC
- The mysterious Maty Mauk situation continues to develop at Missouri.
- Texas A&M will debut some fancy, new uniforms for its Oct. 31 game against South Carolina.
- Mississippi State linebacker Dez Harris tore his ACL during last week's game.

If a company in Delhi has supplied me goods in Bangalore, and there has been a lot of discrepancies in prices supplied/delay/poor quality etc. all of which has been interacted and recorded over email with the company but if they still file a recovery suit from us just for the heck of it though they don't have much hold, do I have still to present myself in Delhi every time there is a hearing? Just because they have filed a case.

Breitbart Texas traveled to the Mexican border cities of Reynosa and Matamoros to recruit citizen journalists willing to risk their lives and expose the cartels silencing their communities. The writers would face certain death at the hands of the Gulf Cartel if a pseudonym were not used. Breitbart Texas' Cartel Chronicles are published in both English and in their original Spanish. This article was written by Reynosa's "AC Del Angel."
The border city of Reynosa lived through a night of terror when a failed attempt to capture a Gulf Cartel commander set off a fierce shootout in one of the city's main avenues. The shootout brought the city to a halt and terrified many families who had been out in shopping centers and restaurants to finish off their weekend.
The shootout started as a failed attempt to arrest a man known as Comandante Toro who has been described as the second in command in the for the Gulf Cartel in Reynosa. The gun battles were between cartel gunmen and Mexican federal forces which turned a calm weekend into a night of terror.
Shortly after 7:30 p.m. along the highly traveled Hidalgo Boulevard, which is one of the city's main avenues, the shootout began. The sound of grenade explosions along with the burst of machine gun fire caused mass panic, the closing down of businesses and shopping centers with the customers inside for their protection. The actions of the local community deal with the prevention of risks — a security protocol that those who live in this border area are all too familiar with.
Several of the businesses suffered damage during the fierce gun battles which dragged on when additional cartel gunmen arrived in a convoy in a rescue operation to save the Gulf Cartel commander.
In the businesses near the scene of the shootout, customers had to drop to the floor to protect themselves from flying projectiles as AK-47's continued to shoot while other high powered weapons rang out in the distance and grenades kept going off. The play by play of the battle was seen through citizen journalists who warned each other. The shooting was so intense that the City of Reynosa issued out an alert via social media.
Mexican authorities were forced to call for backup once they were outnumbered. Cartel gunmen spread out in separate directions in an attempt to fool the security roadblocks set up by authorities. With the help of a helicopter, Mexican authorities were able to overwhelm them and then began combing the streets searching for the fleeing gunmen.
Residents in the neighborhoods of Casa Bella, Las Cumbres, Jardines Coloniales, Las Ceibas, La Cima, Valle Alto and San Antonio remained locked inside as military and cartel members raced through their streets in fast paced shooting pursuits.
The shootout lasted about 20 minutes but its effects were felt throughout the night. Roads were closed for crime scene analysis forcing traffic to flow through various side streets leading to a chaotic commute.
The citizens who had been hiding out inside stores spent more than 40 minutes inside while they waited for things to quiet down and then unlocked the doors. Many families looking to spend a relaxing weekend in one of the city's popular shopping centers ended up having to spend their time on the ground hoping that stray bullets did not come their way. There were some innocent bystanders hurt along with at least one injured soldier and a hitman who was arrested. As of this posting, Mexican authorities have not provided any official information regarding the case.

It is crucial for a successful company to remember that support for the local community and the well being of those in the area go hand in hand. After all, there are always those neighbors who may not have had the same opportunities to succeed. To address that, each Grande facility annually forms an Associate Charity Fund Committee and selects a local organization that would benefit from support during the holiday season. Each facility creates unique ways to raise funds for local organizations and the company matches all dollars raised during the holiday Associate fund drive. This program directly impacts local needs and Grande Associates are proud to help make a difference.
Past examples of Associate Charity Fund recipients include:
•Boys and Girls Clubs•Toys for Tots•Loaves and Fishes•Local Food Pantries•Family Resource Center•National Disaster Assistance

How do you like your apocalypse? Sweet and creamy, or dark and bitter? Do you prefer to linger over it, enjoying all the nuances, or do you want it to grab you by the collar and smack some sense into you?… Do you care where your apocalypse comes from? How it's grown, the details of the slow-roast? Or does it only matter that it's piping hot and sitting there in front of you?
Within the genre there's a phenomenon, more evident in films than in books, in which the apocalypse occurs without it's 'post' or the post-apocalypse exists as a setting without any precursory explanation. The best examples that I can think of respectively are 2004's 'The Day After Tomorrow' and last year's 'The Road'. Both situations annoy me, because in each one I want at least a little of the other, and I'm denied that.
The Day After Tomorrow spends all its time setting up quite a unique post-apocalyptic scenario, with a new ice age having descended so rapidly upon the world that cities outside the tropics (presumably in both hemispheres) are literally encased in ice. Wow. You don't see that every day. And just at the point where the possibilities of the scenario begin to dawn on you and the wider implications start to become evident, the film ends… "What about all that stuff left behind!?!" My inner survivalist screams. Those new possibilities inspire me; of mining through the ice into a relatively untouched office block or police armory, then humping a load of old-world goods back on a clapped out old snowmobile to trade them with the warm-bloods in the higher latitudes (I'm a southern hemisphere lad); of crossing a frozen Bass Straight from Tasmania to the Australian mainland to do so; of fleeing the first polar bears, introduced to the environment by some well-meaning fool. Sure I can imagine all of that myself, but there should really have been some outlet for it within the film. It's like being left with a condescending pat on the shoulder and a "There's still hope for you son" from the hardy old filmmakers, before they stalk off into the blizzard leaving us all alone in their frozen wilderness. Great. Thanks guys. That really helps.
The Road has the opposite problem. Of course its problems begin earlier, by being a book hailed as revolutionary by the Oprah Winfrey book club crowd, the vast majority of whom have probably never had a prior apocalyptic fiction experience. It's gripping and well written, but it's no revolution in the genre, and it suffers from a major flaw in my opinion which translates to the film; There's no explanation for how that world got the way it did. The author, Cormac McCarthy, offers up the excuse that he didn't want a preachy message detracting from the father/son story. But there's clearly an environmentalist subtext there anyway, so why not just come right out and deal with it? Personally I consider that a cop-out.
Referring back to my previous post regarding the criteria I apply to these texts, how am I supposed get any insight into what the author values if there's no indication of what was lost (in their apocalypse), and how? Or what remains, and why? For all the contextual background we're given, that father/son story could just as easily have been set with the protagonists lost in the wilderness, fending off wild animals and trying to make their way back to civilisation. As far as I'm concerned it doesn't matter if the explanation for an apocalypse is plausible or not, if it's scientifically sound or contemporaneously sensitive, just as long as it's offered.
So for me the flavour of the apocalypse isn't all that important; I'll happily drink them all, even if my personal preference tends toward creamy, with just enough sugar to cut that bitter edge. But whether it's Fair Trade or mass manufactured, unground beans or instant, I absolutely have to know where and how it's grown, and the details of the slow-roast are vital.

Live Photos, which bring some life to a photo taken by an iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, or an iPhone SE, was a feature Apple introduced with its flagship devices late last year. And as is par for the course for an Apple product, enjoying a Live Photo outside of the Apple ecosystem requires the help of a third-party source. That's exactly what Google aims to do with a new app called Motion Stills.
With the free Motion Stills app, which is available right now, iPhone owners can choose a Live Photo and then have Motion Stills work a bit of magic and turn it into a shareable GIF. The app works thanks to an algorithm that will use video stabilization technology to freeze the background of the image and then utilize loop optimizations to have the foreground loop end-to-end. Google says users can include several different Live Photos to create a movie montage, too.
Once you've made your new GIF, you'll be able to share it through social media, a messaging app, or even email. If you're an iPhone owner or know someone who is, Motion Stills looks like a solid way to do share your Live Photos with those outside of the Apple ecosystem.

Hair Filler & Concealer
The person writing this description (Tom) has actually fallen in love with this product! Being only 25 and having thinning hair we got some of this product. Feeling pretty sceptical as to whether or not it would actually work!
Instantly Thicker Looking Hair!
We gave it a go, yes i was the test subject! Willingly if it made my hair look thicker! After a couple of seconds of putting this powder in my hair we were all astounded as to how good it actually was and why it isn't more popular than it is.
I tend to only wear this when i'm going on a night out, or if i'm going out for dinner somewhere nice! Basically anywhere that there will be allot of people around. The compliments i have had when having this product in have been fantastic! It's had some great feedback!
I have been using the Eclipse Hair Fibers now for probably about 3 months and i have still only bought one pot of this product and one bottle of the spray. A little really does go a long way with this.
If you're thinking of giving this product a go, Feel free to come in store and ask Matt if he could sprinkle a bit on and see what you think! It really is fantastic! Thicker fuller looking hair without the big price tag! Why wouldn't you give it a go?!

Courtesy of Amherst Sports Information
AMHERST, Mass. – The third-seeded Amherst College men's lacrosse team received three goals from Evan Wolf, but Middlebury's Danny Jacobs netted his fourth goal of the game with 1:41 to play in regulation and goalie Charles Midgley made three of 24 saves in the closing moments to help lift the sixth-seeded Panthers to a thrilling, 12-11 victory in Saturday afternoon's NESCAC Championship Quarterfinal contest at Pratt Field at Lehrman Stadium.
With the loss, Amherst moves to 12-4 overall and will await an at-large berth to the NCAA Division III Championship. Middlebury advances to the NESCAC Semifinals next Saturday, May 6 which will be hosted by top-seeded Bates College.
In a game that was fiercely contested throughout, Middlebury netted the game's first goal at the 13-minute mark of the first quarter when Jacobs scored an unassisted goal. Eleven seconds later Peyton Lane equalized for Amherst, but the Panthers regained the lead just 10 seconds after that when Jacobs found the back of the net again to make it 2-1. Jack Norton and Colin Minicus then tallied back-to-back markers for the Mammoths to make it 3-2 in favor of Amherst with 5:29 to play in the opening stanza before Matthew O'Neal scored on a feed from A.J. Kucinski with 3:52 to play to make it 3-3 after one quarter of action.
After playing nearly a full quarter of scoreless lacrosse in the second frame, Amherst broke the deadlock when Chris Albanese scored on the man-advantage after receiving a pass from Connor Sheehan to give the hosts a 4-3 edge with 3:31 to play in the first half. Chase Goree capitalized on a dish from Frank Coslito with just under a minute to play for Middlebury to make it 4-4, before a breakaway goal following a beautiful pass from Uzoma Egbuchulam allowed Wolf to net the go-ahead goal with one tick left on the clock as Amherst held a 5-4 lead at intermission.
Two early goals by the Mammoths allowed Amherst to stake a 7-4 cushion in the third frame, as Brogan Mahon scored on a feed from Minicus, while Brett Inglesby collected a score following a pass from Wolf. The Panthers chipped away the lead as Jacobs notched his third goal of the contest on the man-advantage, while Parker Lawlor and Kucinski added scoring strikes of their own to even the game at 7-7 heading to the fourth period.
A back-and-forth final session saw neither team take more than a one-goal lead as Middlebury matched each score by Amherst to make it 10-10 with 8:24 to play. Wolf, Jimmy McAfee (from Wolf) and Wolf again (from Minicus) scored for the Mammoths, while Henry Riehl answered three straight times for the Panthers. Riehl then assisted a go-ahead score by Kucinski to make it 11-10 in favor of the visitors with 7:33 to play. Albanese found the back of the cage at the 3:42 mark to knot the game at 11-11 with 3:42 left in regulation, before Jacobs fired in Middlebury's 12th goal with 1:41 on the clock. From there, Midgley completed a sterling effort between the pipes, turning aside an attempt from Norton and two from Albanese to preserve the Panthers' victory.
- Dylan Finazzo was 16-for-26 in faceoffs and picked up nine ground balls, while Cody Tranbarger and Jordan Sanford added five ground balls each.
- Sanford was also stellar in defense, causing four turnovers, while Rod Castro added three caused turnovers. Tranbarger made 10 saves in the loss between the pipes.
- Middlebury was led by Jack DeFrino's five ground balls, while Midgley added three pickups. Midgley was terrific in goal, making 24 saves, including seven in both the second and fourth quarters.

Tobacco-free policies do not hurt enrollment or application numbers
Tobacco-free policies reduce the costs for grounds and building maintenance. One study found 77% fewer cigarette butts on college campuses with 100% smoke-free campus-wide policies.
Reduce the risk of fires on campus. Carelessly discarded cigarette butts can start fires if dropped in planting areas, bark mulch and trash receptacles. Going tobacco-free eliminates this risk and associated costs, and may decrease fire and property insurance premiums.
The economic costs of smoking and exposure to tobacco smoke are more than $289 billion annually, including at least $133 billion for direct medical care of adults and more than $156 billion in lost productivity.
Numerous studies demonstrate that employees who smoke tobacco have higher levels of absenteeism and healthcare costs in comparison to employees that don't smoke. It's estimated that it costs an extra $5,816 annually to employ a smoker.
One in five college students surveyed say they experience immediate health effects from secondhand smoke on campus. Eliminate the risk of ADA accessibility challenges related to tobacco smoke. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires colleges to maintain accessible campuses, including reasonable accommodation for students or employees with medical conditions such as asthma that are triggered by secondhand smoke.

Ordinarily I would not be caught dead sitting through a feature-length animated movie. However, I was sucked into this one because I did not read the invitation closely enough and when I realized that it was animated, I was already there and was basically stuck.
So sometimes things work out for the better because this film blew me away. It's animated, yes. But this isn't your normal animation with hundreds or thousands of cartoonists sitting in a room drawing their panels or with modern-day computerized animation. This is an amazing work consisting of 65,000 frames of film each of which is oil painted by hand by 125 oil painters who traveled from all across the world to the studios in Poland and Greece to participate in the production which can only be described as one-of-a-kind.
The film takes place in 1891, one year after the death of Vincent van Gogh from a gunshot that has generally been described as self-inflicted. However recently I have become aware of stories that he did not commit suicide. In this film Armand Roulin (Douglas Booth) is tasked with delivering a letter given to him by his father, Postman Joseph Roulin (Chris O'Dowd), to hand deliver it to the brother of his father's friend, van Gogh, who they have just learned had committed suicide.
Unhappy with this task, Armand nonetheless becomes kind of a detective as he travels to the village of Auvers-sur-Oise, where Vincent spent the last 10 weeks of his life and died on July 29, 1890. Thus begins the investigation into how van Gogh actually died which, in itself, is fascinating. But what really makes this film special is that the animation is in the style of van Gogh. For two hours everything you see could have been painted by Vincent himself.
This is an outstanding movie and it will be astonishing to me if it does not win the Oscar for Best Animated Feature. This film is truly a wonderful dream to sit through and enjoy.

Move over Buster Pointdexter- these dentists are hot hot HOT. Here are a few dental experts who, if you started flossing, just might go out with you.
Vanessa R.
"Hi, I'm Vanessa. I'm an old soul who likes lazy Sundays in bed, doing the crossword, and listening to Billie Holliday. (If I'm feeling adventurous, I'll try all three at once.) I'm looking for someone who's funny, sensitive, and uses dental floss regularly to eliminate the 500 bacterial biofilms that live in your plaque. Oh, you don't? Nevermind."
Tim C.
"Tim's my name, mini-golf's my game. Literally- I invented mini-golf. When I'm not in court with the patent office, I'm usually at the gym, strengthening my putting muscles. I want a partner who's game for whatever windmills, loop-the-loops, and intellectual property lawsuits life throws our way. Oh, and it goes without saying: they need to adhere to the American Dental Association's recommendation of flossing twice daily."
Diane B.
"If I had to describe myself in one word, I'd say 'loyal.' If I had to describe myself in 13 words, I'd say 'a diehard Packers fan who also likes going to museums and baking sometimes.' I don't really have a 'type.' I've dated tall guys and short guys, skinny guys and muscular guys, guys from North Dakota and guys from the other one. My only dealbreaker? A guy who doesn't take just two minutes to prevent gum disease by flossing."
Michael W.
"Libra here! I'm looking for- wait, is that food debris in your teeth??? Uh, SWIPE LEFT!"
Kyle A.
"There's only three things you need to know about me. One: I like long walks on the beach. Two: I like running on the beach more, because it's like walking but faster. And three: I take the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research seriously. So if you don't floss, excuse me- there's a sunset-lit beach waiting for me to sprint across. Alone."
Rolph C.
"What? Ain't you never seen a cartoon beaver dentist before? Well guess what. This cartoon beaver dentist makes $125k a year easy. And you know what else? Rolph Chompychomps D.D.S. doesn't waste his time on fools who risk tooth decay by not flossing regularly. Buh-bye!"

Six Kansas communities will become ineligible for USDA Rural Development Housing programs on Oct. 1 if the 2010 census data is implemented.
Andover, Gardner, Hays, Junction City, Liberal and Pittsburg, including Frontenac, will no longer be eligible for USDA Guaranteed Rural Housing loans and direct loans because of increases in population.
In addition to the new six ineligible communities, the current Wichita ineligible area will be expanded east to join the Andover ineligible area. An initial listing of communities losing eligibility included Ottawa, but that information was incorrect, according to USDA. Ottawa will remain an eligible area.
For information regarding USDA Rural Development Housing programs, contact the Agency at 785-271-2720, or visit the Agency's Kansas website.
USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, has a portfolio of programs designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America.
USDA has made a concerted effort to continue to make those programs available even as the department implements sequestration – the across-the-board budget reductions mandated under terms of the Budget Control Act.
USDA has already undertaken historic efforts since 2009 to save more than $828 million in taxpayer funds through targeted, common-sense budget reductions. These reductions have put USDA in a better position to carry out its mission, while implementing sequester budget reductions in a fair manner that causes as little disruption as possible.

GCSE Results 2017
The Gilberd School is delighted to announce once again an excellent set of GCSE results that will enable our students to progress onto a range of Post 16 courses.
Headteacher Linda Exley, states "I am very proud that our students have continued to meet incredibly high standards and all their hard work has resulted in students making excellent progress with a vast number of students achieving the highest possible grades. We are delighted with the achievement of all students, however we would like to highlight the outstanding academic performance of the following students:
Emily Wright (10x Grade 9/A*); Rebecca Gil-Lubeiro (8x Grade 9/A*); Sophie Mason (7x Grade 9/A*); Azamat Kuvandikov (7x Grade 9/A*); Hope Kedian (7x Grade 9/A*); Charlie Lockwood (8x Grade 9/A)."
The vast majority of students achieved a good pass in both English and Mathematics. We were especially pleased with the proportion of A* and A/ 9 and 8 grades achieved and as such, a record number of our students are progressing onto highly challenging post 16 courses. We are also delighted that an increasing number of students have achieved the necessary grades to move onto higher level STEM pathways. As always, the raw figures hide many stories of students who have struggled with adversity and yet still achieved, or who may not have gained headline grabbing results but have outperformed perhaps even their own expectations. We are equally proud of each and every one of these.
This outstanding performance is due to the hard work and determination of students, staff and parents. We are particularly pleased since The Gilberd continues to offer a traditional school curriculum that ensures all students pursue full and respected KS4 courses. We are also proud that students continue to benefit from high quality STEM, music and arts and PE provision, provision we feel is vital for a high quality education."

I dag besøgte Ambassadør Dan E. Frederiksen Užupis Gymnasium i Vilnius som en del af åbningen af Nordplus projektet som omfatter elever fra skoler i Danmark, Letland, Litauen og Norge. Formålet med projektet er at gøre eleverne bekendte med kulturarven på tværs af de fire lande. I øjeblikket er elever fra Danmark, Letland og Norge på besøg i Litauen.
Ambassadøren holdt ligeledes en tale, hvor han ønskede eleverne held og lykke med deres kulturudvekslingsophold. Talen kan findes herunder:
Ambassador Frederiksen's Opening Remarks at the Užupis High School as prepared
Good morning! It is so nice to see you in Lithuania. And I am happy to learn that many young people like you are still interested in cultural heritage of the Nordic region. People today are much more interested in new technologies and what they can share on Facebook, rather than preserving cultural heritage. So, I am so pleased to see you participating in this great project and huge thanks goes for this high school and its leadership for coordinating the programme.
Hans Christian Andersen once said that "the most wonderful fairy tale is life itself". Studying cultural heritage means studying daily lives of the hardworking people who have written the story not only of their lives but also built up the foundation of ours. I am sure that you will find something to connect with during this trip and realize that some things remain common for people – does not matter in what times we are living. And do not forget that future generations will be studying us and the ways of our living as a cultural heritage. So, your fairy tale will make a contribution to the fairy tales of the many. I hope that future stories will reflect the story of our friendship as well. I think that our countries (Denmark, Norway, Latvia and Lithuania) are quite similar and there is no need of tearing down barriers. However, I would be curious to hear at the end of your tour what was actually surprising because there are always new things to learn even about your own country's culture. And even though we have lots in common, I am sure that this trip will open new channels and facilitate mutual understanding between us.
I wish you great success on this excellent training. Learn something and make a difference that people despite their differences would enjoy living together.

The new era of videogames has come. Urban games offer a new way to interact with the World and the other players mixing reality and virtual reality, with creative game mechanics and the GPS technology, to offer an immersive game experience. They are also known as Location Based games.
Urban games take place in public spaces like the streets of a big city or in natural places like forests or wilder areas making the battleground the entire world.
Regardless of the type of gameplay, there are two main types of Urban Games:
Synchronous urban games:
These games are designed for all players to play at the same time and can be single player or multiplayer. Organizers create different teams, each one has a mission assigned and normally must to collaborate or compete, in real time, with the other teams of the game to achieve it.
An example of this kind of urban games could be:
- Pac-Manhattan: Pac-Manhattan is a large-scale urban game that utilizes the New York City grid to recreate the 1980's video game sensation Pac-Man. One player is Pac-Man and the others become the phantoms that have to catch him using the GPS technology and running through the streets.
Asynchronous urban games:
These games are played in the same places and spaces but they are designed to be played without real time interaction between players. These kind of urban games allow more passive participation. Smartphones, tablets or handheld computers use GPS positioning to find virtual objects or other players who happen to be nearby.
Two examples of this kind of games could be:
- Geocaching: Geocaching is the real-world treasure hunt that's happening right now, all around the world. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location.
- City Nostra: read the "City Nostra Game Concept".
Are you ready to create your Empire playing all around the world?

COO Ian Berch spearheads Service Finance Hurricane Maria relief efforts
TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - October 03, 2017) - Service Finance's COO Ian Berch spearheaded efforts to support Hurricane Maria relief efforts by partnering with Chartright Air Group and Latin2Latin Marketing to charter a plane filled with supplies for Puerto Rico.
The decision was fueled by letters from employees asking for help for their loved ones living in Puerto Rico and suffering in the wake of the hurricane.
"The devastation in Puerto Rico is beyond comprehensible and to see firsthand how it has affected so many of our valued employees and their families hits close to home," said Ian Berch, COO of Service Finance. "We are thrilled to be able to do all that we can to help and look forward to continuing to support the wonderful people of Puerto Rico."
The plane was sent on September 29, 2017 and included water, food, personal hygiene items, pet food and diapers, among other items.
Sample employee letters received by Service Finance included the following:
"I am devastated. My home country is destroyed… We get messages from our loved ones all day, everyday asking for help. All of them have the same needs for water, food, money, batteries, mosquito repellent, milk, baby food and pampers for babies & adults. Gas and diesel has become the new gold and other necessities will soon be the priority. Personally, I have my brother that with a broken voice tried to explain to me what has happened, who asked for batteries, duct tape and money. I have my daughter who doesn't have much food left and she can't sleep between the heat, the mosquitoes and the smell of back sewage that is accumulated on the streets. All she cries for is to be by my side as soon as possible. It breaks my heart. I have not been able to contact my cousins who live on the east side of Puerto Rico. It's hard to describe one situation since everyone is on the same boat. My fear is that the desperation will set chaos of massive proportions. We need help now!" - Beatriz Aponte, a Consumer Credit Center Representative at Service Finance Company, LLC.
"The communications infrastructure in Puerto Rico has been destroyed. In the little communications I have had with them my family informed me that there is virtually no power in the island, fuel is very hard to come by and supplies to include water and food are running out. I have only been able to communicate with 3 family members and they are in good health and spirits. However I have not been able to communicate with about 15 to 20 of my closest family members to this date." - David Rodriguez, Consumer Credit Center Representative at Service Finance Company, LLC.
"We have family living in Puerto Rico that is currently being affected by the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. They have very little supplies, no electricity, and are waiting for help. Due to no electricity and damage to the community almost everything is closed. They are seeking fresh water, batteries, gasoline and first aid. My mother-in-law has said so many people are now homeless and with the heat and humidity it makes it even harder." - Shonda Irizarry, Administrative Servicing Assistant at Service Finance Company, LLC.
"Since the hurricane passed through, my heart has been broken because my family in Puerto Rico has been going through many problems. My daughter lost all her belongings because the river entered her apartment. She cannot live there anymore as it is sinking. There is no gas or food and there are days when all she has to eat is a can of sausages. She works on a call center in Puerto Rico and they don't have diesel to run the generator. My son is in the same situation and I am trying to see how I can help him.
My other daughter and my three grandchildren at this time do not have anything to eat because supermarkets do not have baby food, diapers or water. My grandchildren suffer from asthma and are sick and my daughter has no energy in the house to give them their therapies. My mother-in-law also suffers from asthma and still has no energy in her house." - Elizabeth Ramos, Consumer Credit Center Representative at Service Finance Company, LLC.
