This summer Anoushka will be premiering a world exclusive of Passages at this years Proms Festival in London. In the mid-1960s a rising star of Western classical music, Phillip Glass, met the 'Godfather' of the Indian classical tradition, Ravi Shankar. The result was a collision of musical worlds and – some 25 years later – a studio album that combined Glass's American Minimalism with Shankar's sitar and the traditions of Hindustani classical music.
A hypnotic flow of sound blending cello, saxophone and other Western instruments with the glittering pulse of the sitar, Passages will be presented at the Proms in its first complete live performance. The Britten Sinfonia and Karen Kamensek are joined by sitar virtuoso Anoushka Shankar on 15th August 2017 at the Royal Albert Hall.
Anoushka is currently working on her first film composition for the film 'Shiraz'. The world premiere of both the score (performed live) and of the BFI National Archive's restoration of the film, specially commissioned in celebration of the 70th anniversary of the creation of India and Pakistan in 1947 as part of BFI's India on Film programme and The UK India Year of Culture will be screened at the Barbican theatre in London on the 14th October 2017
Shiraz tells the story behind the construction of the Taj Mahal. It's a tale of love and undying devotion, following Shiraz, the designer of the Taj Mahal, and his childhood sweetheart, the princess who became the Empress Mumtaz Mahal – to whom the mausoleum was dedicated. It's a film as remarkable and ornate as the structure itself – and Shankar's score promises to be just as impressive, as she echoes the magnificence of the Taj Mahal with stunning virtuosity.
Land of Gold
noushka's latest album on Deutsch Grammophon, Land of Gold, is her personal response to the humanitarian trauma of displaced people fleeing conflict and poverty. The release in Spring 2016 was followed by tours of North America, India and Europe and garnered a sixth Grammy® nomination in 2017. Anoushka continues to tour the album through 2017, in cities including Coppenhagen, Ravenna, Antibes, Edinburgh, Bucherest, Zurich, Prague, Paris and St Polten.
New video!
Here is the video from the title track of my new album Land of Gold. Featuring vocalist Alev Lenz, hang percussionist Manu Delago and Caroline Dale on cello.

Hi everyone
I hope some are enjoying my newest creation with Moviestorm. I also have the episodes at youtube and vimeo. I was invited to submit to a couple of film festivals. Some of the Chapters stand alone as a short film. So I'm submitting Collaborators In Crime CH 2 as a short. CH 1 was also submitted to one along w/ CH 2. My first time making film submissions. I don't expect much, but am humbled and honored by such invitations.
Link to CIC Ch 2;
Collaborators In Crime: Prologue, CH 1, CH 2, CH3, and CH 4 are shared on my page here.
Currently working on CH 5.
The character voices are mine.
Thanks for checking out my post. And a huge thanks to the modders for their creative works.

Before and after her run-in with Shawn from 'Commitment', Keisha had her own story. This is it . . .
This is a sample from 'Mistress: A Novella'.
Keisha Crawford was worried. Sitting cross-legged on her bed, she spread out in front of her, all of value that she owned in the world. The jewelry probably totaled somewhere in the neighborhood of one hundred thousand, but that only mattered if she was willing to part with any of it. Like most men, Charlie had been very generous when it came to "things." Actual cash he'd been a little more squirrelly about. Now that she thought about it, he'd probably only ever given her about five thousand dollars in cash. Sure, he would take her shopping, let her spend whatever she wanted, which he charged on his black card; he would pay for vacations for her and her friends, he paid her mortgage, and bought her gifts but rarely if ever did he give her cash.
Getting cash hadn't been that important, and to be honest, Keisha preferred that there not be an exchange of money. It would have made her feel like a whore, and she was not a whore. Charlie, like the boyfriends who had gone before him, simply wanted to take care of her, and she was willing to let him do it. The age difference hadn't mattered at all, even though they raised a couple of eyebrows when they were out together. Once a waiter had asked Charlie whether he and his granddaughter wanted another bottle of wine with their dinner. Keisha could have sworn he'd smirked when he said it, the bastard. Anyone who'd been paying a moment's attention would have known that she wouldn't be hanging onto her grandfather the way she'd been hanging onto Charlie.
But all that was over now. Charlie was dead, and Keisha would have to fend for herself. She guessed that she had about three weeks maximum and it would be goodbye penthouse apartment, goodbye 24-hour concierge, and goodbye weekly mani-pedis, exclusive gym membership . . .
She couldn't think about it all now, it was too depressing.
One week after his death Charlie's family already had begun sorting out his affairs. This morning she'd gotten a very disturbing phone call. It was his daughter, Beth. Charlie had spoken of her often and with pride. She was one year older than Keisha and an attorney at a very prestigious law firm in the city. She had sounded on the phone just as Keisha would have expected: cool and haughty.
"Might I ask to whom I'm speaking?" she said when Keisha answered the phone.
"You called me," Keisha said. "Who are you?"
"I'm Elizabeth Staynor," she said. "I'm calling because, as I'm sure you know, my father has died. And in looking through his papers I came across information about this apartment which he purchased in my name. I called the building and was told that it is occupied. They transferred me up to you."
Keisha had been struck dumb. She remembered clearly the day Charlie had brought her here for the first time.
Look what I got you, Bunny, he'd said. A place of your own.
She'd never examined or asked what that meant, "a place of your own." She honestly hadn't believed he bought it in her name—it was a million-dollar piece of real estate after all—but she couldn't have imagined he'd put it in Beth's name either. Especially since he wouldn't have wanted anyone in his family to know about her.
"Are you there?" Beth Staynor asked.
"Yes, I'm here."
"I'm not going to inquire into the nature of your relationship with my father. I can imagine, though that it was something my mother need not know about. My strong suggestion is that you take the next two days to empty the space of your belongings—and I do mean empty—and find another place to live."
Keisha cleared her throat. "You really think that's what Charlie would have wanted?"
"Don't you dare . . ." Beth Staynor raised her voice for a moment then seemed to think better of it. "Don't you dare imply that you know what my father would have wanted. His putting the apartment in my name is ample evidence of what he wanted. Whatever services you performed for him will no longer be needed. You have two days."
And then the line went dead.
Keisha had no intention of leaving in two days. She would stay until she was forced to leave, and as far as she could guess, it would be a few weeks before that happened. Charlie's funeral was on Saturday according to the obituary in the paper. Lots of powerful people from around the country would be flying in for what was sure to be a huge event. Then the family would have to have a reception or a dinner to host some of the more important guests. Then there would be meetings with lawyers and boards of directors and the staff of his many companies. Keisha's guess was that Beth Staynor would be way too occupied to worry about her anytime soon.
But that didn't solve the problem at hand, which was that she very little money, and no job. In her checking account, she had about seven hundred dollars. In her purse, maybe another five hundred, and that was it. Not even enough to make a deposit on a decent place to live if she needed to. Keisha wondered whether Beth had gotten around to closing out Charlie's accounts at all the restaurants around town. She could probably eat out a few times at places where they knew her as Charlie's girl but how long would that last? Less than a week, certainly. Charlie was not exactly low-profile; everyone in the business world and high society were talking about his death. He had fallen over at the eleventh hole on Shinnecock Hills on Southampton and been declared dead before the ambulance even arrived.
At sixty-three, he'd been relatively young, and by far the youngest of all Keisha's recent boyfriends. Ironic that he would have been the one to die on her. And she'd really been starting to like him, too. She met him at the Met Costume Institute Gala which she was attending with Stewart Lawson. Stewart was a venture capitalist and her friend Avery's boyfriend. But Avery had the flu and had been happy to let Keisha take her place for one night. Stewart was seventy-three and looked like that old-time movie actor, David Niven. Keisha suspected he was gay and only wanted Avery around as a beard, but she didn't mind filling that role for an evening, especially since it meant going to so exclusive an event.
Keisha's own boyfriend had begun to tire of her. She knew it because he was calling less, and had forgotten on two occasions to pay her rent. When she'd called to remind him, he had been short with her. The last time he came to visit, he hadn't even been interested in sex, so Keisha knew her days were numbered. He had found someone else, it was clear, but perhaps had not yet made his move. His drawing away meant that Keisha needed to find a new benefactor.
At the ball, Avery's boyfriend had practically ignored her. As wealthy as he was, he was still starstruck and wandered off every few minutes to meet some actress of actor who caught his eye, leaving Keisha standing alone and feeling foolish. Charlie had been standing alone as well and when their eyes met at one point, he raised his champagne glass to her. Keisha returned the gesture and smiled her most winning smile. Charlie approached and she straightened her back, presenting her chest in its best light.
"These things are a crashing bore, aren't they?" he said.
"Depends on who you're with, I suppose," Keisha said.
"Well, who are you with?" Charlie asked leaning in closer.
Keisha indicated where Stewart, a few feet away, was having his photo taken with Anna Wintour.
"Stewart Lawson," he laughed. "You can do a lot better than that."
"Oh can I?"
"Yes," Charlie said. "You can."
That very night, Keisha had blown him in the back of his Bentley. Then she'd reapplied her lipstick and gone back to the party. She expected that he would want to screw her but not much more than that. But he called her and took her to dinner the next evening and within a week he had moved her out of her apartment and to the penthouse. In the first three months, it was clear that she was not his only mistress— he seemed to be dividing his time between her and at least one other woman, but she didn't care, just so long as she was being taken care of. Once Keisha Googled him however, she realized she would be foolish not to try to get him for herself so she upped the ante, exerting a little more effort to be sexually creative, surprising him with role plays and greeting him at the door stark naked, silly little tricks like that.
But it worked.
Soon, Charlie was spending every free moment with her and showering her with so many gifts, it became unusual for him to show up empty-handed. He had begun modestly enough, with a five thousand dollar Tiffany Grace drop pendant, but by the time he died, the last gift he had given her was a twenty-five thousand dollar necklace. He always got the jewelry from Tiffany, though Keisha always secretly hoped he would move to something even higher end.
Now, Keisha scooped up her jewelry and put it all back into the cases in her walk-in closet. Spinning around, she realized something else she'd overlooked. She had to have tens of thousands of dollars in designer clothes. There were lots of consignment shops around the city that would pay her well for some of this stuff, much of it not yet worn. And the furniture in the apartment could also command a good price – Charlie had gone all out with the decorating, giving her a budget that was known only to him and the designer. But Keisha could not recall being told that anything she liked was too expensive. So ultimately, she was fairly well-off. She just needed a place to live. There was one place that was a sure bet. It was her last resort, and she need not consider it right now so she wouldn't.
Instead, she got showered and dressed and headed over to Avery's. Avery had had a boyfriend die on her once before. She would know what to do.

From the spectacular carved pumpkins which are my personal favorite portion of the display, to the sound system, light show, animations and live show they put on this place has something for everyone. As many of you know this is their last year for the display and my family will really miss going there 2, 3 and sometimes 4 times a season. The amount of time it must take to put this together each year is more than anyone can comprehend. I just want to thank these people for the memories that I have been able to make with my family. I see us 10-15 years down the road reminicing about that great Halloween Display, Mayhem on Mansfield. The house that was decorated so wonderfully, stem to stern and how much fun we had visiting each year. My son who is now 8 will have these wonderful memories. Thank you so much!!!

Patron Flow Inside Attraction: Usually always busy on the weekends but all sights are accessible with no problems.

Summary: It breaks Michael and my heart to know this is Mayhem on Mansfields last year. We have thoroughly enjoyed meeting everyone that comes to see their home. We feel extremely honored that Steve and Cathy allowed Michael and myself to join the "Mayhem on Mansfield" family. We feel so fortunate to have them and their family in our lives and will miss this time of year. I know I can probably speak for every single person that visits Mayhem on Mansfield when I say...WE WILL MISS YOU,THANK YOU FOR YOUR FAMILY'S HARD WORK YEAR AFTER YEAR...MAYHEM ON MANSFIELD WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!!!!

I have lived in Marin County, possibly America's preeminent left wing enclave, for over two decades. Marin residents are old (and getting older), white, and vote heavily Democratic. They overwhelmingly embrace abortion rights, drug rights, and gay rights. Church attendance is extremely low; mind-altering pharmaceutical drug use and therapist attendance is extremely high. The cult of self is Marin's dominant religion. And outside of Greenwich, Connecticut there are probably more money managers, per capita, in Marin than anywhere else in America. Marin's attitudes are not unique. The investment community and the media/cultural elites on both coasts share a suspicion (or dislike?) of religious, socially conservative Americans. That might explain why companies that cater to the values of Red State residents are poorly understood, poorly followed, and often undervalued by the stock market. Camarillo, California-headquartered Salem Media (SALM) and Phoenix-headquartered Grand Canyon College (LOPE) are two such companies. I have owned LOPE stock for over three years (and written about it several times over that time period). Salem is a newer position in my fund. Despite boasting a $2 billion market cap, LOPE is only followed by a handful of Wall Street analysts. A single lone analyst, from the obscure firm Noble Financial, follows Salem Media. I recently drove to Camarillo to interview Salem's chief financial officer. The company operates 116 radio stations across America. Almost half have a Christian teaching or Christian music format; the other stations feature conservative news and business talk. Of Salem's $266M 2015 revenues, over 75 percent came from advertising on these stations. Other businesses include digital media websites and publishing. Salem generated 2015 ebitda of $52M, or $2/share; yet Salem's share price is $6, below its 52-week high of $7 (and way below Salem's 1999 $22.50 IPO price). Many investors are no doubt spooked by Salem's $277M debt, much of which was obtained to buy radio stations. While ebitda and cash flow will grow in 2016 and 2017, management stated that its near term priority is to pay down its debt load—probably $20–25M each year—so the company will likely not raise its healthy dividend of .26 cents a share, which yields 5 percent annually, for awhile. Salem acquired 12 radio station in 2015, which will help revenues grow 6-10 percent in 2016 and beyond, and over the long term, management is committed to distributing 20 percent of free cash flow to shareholders. Grand Canyon University is a Christian, nondenominational school, with 15,000 full time ground students and another 55,000 online students. Management is confident that it will grow enrollment to 25,000 ground students by 2018. I flew to Phoenix last month and spent an hour with the company's chief financial officer at its bustling 200-acre campus. I've been bullish on LOPE for years now, but the story keeps getting better and better. On metrics the government uses to measure universities—cohort default, gainful employment, etc.– LOPE is in the top half of all US schools and is near the top of all for-profit colleges. Most impressively, despite the fact the average LOPE ground student pays slightly less than $16,000/year for tuition, room and board (versus a mid-twenty thousand sum for most of the UC and Cal States colleges), LOPE earns an operating profit margin of nearly thirty percent. LOPE's stock has traded sideways since 2013, as many other for profit schools— most of which are scammy diploma mills—have seen their stocks drop 50-80 percent. Recently the company's accreditation agency rejected Grand Canyon's desire to morph its campus operations to nonprofit status, with a for-profit public shell managing the nonprofit university. This ruling may not be bad for shareholders. GCU will produce almost $300M in 2016 ebitda, or over $6/share, and its earnings per share should exceed $3/share, up from $2.78 in 2015. The stock closed at $42 yesterday. There are almost 100M self-described born again and/or evangelical Christians in America. I don't believe coastal elites in this country fully comprehend this scale. Christians represent a large, and more importantly growing, percent of the total US population. Companies that cater to these consumers should continue to benefit from this secular trend.

The long-term performance of Salem's stock price has been awful. It appears that the supposedly anti-Christian liberals were correct to ignore it!
Salem doesn't exactly have first-tier advertisers. It is dependent on a small number of sketchy advertisers like LifeLock, eHarmony, Hillsdale College, various gold scams, and obscure conservative groups. Salem doesn't have the first-tier right-wing loudmouths, either. It has the guys who lose out to Limbaugh and Beck. The problems at iHeart Radio may indicate that the market for conservative radio blowhards is not infinite.↓

Chicago, December 2007- The Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA) will launch FacingUs.org, an unique website with innovative and interactive features that will enable those living with depression and bipolar disorder to create their own personal wellness tools to aid them on their road to recovery. Users will be able to create customize personal journals, wellness plans and wellness books that can be printed with artistic covers. The site is designed to be a "clubhouse", an online community that provides inspiration and encouragement to others. FacingUs.org was created to provide a safe haven for those living with mood disorders.
"We are delighted to roll out the welcome mat for our new FacingUs.org website", said DBSA Executive Vice President Peter Ashenden. "We want this to be a special place where visitors can spend quiet time if they'd like-journaling, meditating, doing yoga- or browsing the media room to look at art or listen to an audio presentation, early in the morning or in the middle of the night. This is truly going to be an extraordinary place that will provide hope, help and support, 24 hours a day, seven days a week- a place for people to share with others who have been there- and a place to nourish both mind and spirith."
Although the site is designed for people living with depression and bipolar disorder, it is open to anyone interested in personal wellness. The Facing Us Clubhouse was built to be a comfortable environment where users can feel at home. Once they 'step' inside, they can choose from a myriad of features designed to help them on their path to achieving and maintaining wellness. They will be able to:
The FacingUs.org website is the second phase of a larger campaign aimed at putting a real face on depression and bipolar disorder, two illnesses that affect as many as 35 million Americans. The campaign was designed to reduce the stigma that surrounds mental illness and help people understand that these are real, medical and treatable illnesses. Phase one of the campaign was a nationwide contest calling for personal video stories, original artwork and video public service announcements. Winning entries can be viewed in the multimedia room on the Facing Us website, www.FacingUs.org.
The Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA) is the nation's leading patient-directed organization focusing on depression and bipolar disorder. The organization, which has more than 1,000 support groups nationwide, fosters an understanding about the impact and maangement of these life-threatening illnesses by providing up-to-date, scientifically based tools and information. Assisted by a 65-member scientific advisory board comprised of the leading researchers and clinicians in the field of mood disorders.

(Bloomberg) — United Continental Holdings Inc. climbed to the highest price since 2008 after the world's biggest airline said it would cut $2 billion in annual spending and boost profit.
Half the savings will come from a 7 percent reduction in fuel expense as it flies newer, more efficient planes such as Boeing Co.'s 787 Dreamliner and existing aircraft are equipped with winglets to boost conservation. At a presentation in New York today, the Chicago-based carrier also said it expects to boost fee revenue by $700 million a year.
United combined with Continental Airlines in 2010 and has struggled since then to control costs that are growing faster for each seat flown a mile than revenue on the same basis. Profit growth trailed competitors in the last quarter and the carrier is counting on an overhaul of its fleet designed to swap gas-guzzlers with more fuel-efficient models.
"We are very positive on these stated goals, but where UAL has run into problems over the past two years is in execution of its stated plans," James Corridore, an analyst with Standard & Poor's Capital IQ, wrote in a note to clients today. "We would like to see some traction on these plans."
United rose 3.9 percent to $37.80 at the close of the trading day. It was the highest close since Feb. 13, 2008, according to data compiled by Bloomberg that reflect the merger with Continental.
Return cash
United's plan, which includes an unspecified return of cash to shareholders in 2015, was outlined after a series of operational issues snarled flights and drove away some customers and four public computer disruptions since the airline switched to a new reservation system in March 2012.
"We're very confident we can deliver," Chief Executive Officer Jeff Smisek said today at the presentation, the first as a combined airline. "We believe that we can deliver for you, our investors, multiples of our current earnings."
The plan calls for as much as a 20 percent increase on a per-mile-flown basis in employee productivity, which has fallen each year since the merger. The changes as a whole will raise pretax earnings in a range of 2 percent to 4 percent over the next four years, the airline said.
United, which said it will pay as much as $13 billion for fuel in 2013, will take delivery of 25 new planes annually over the next four years to replace older models and smaller regional aircraft.
Potential gains
The new planes and other measures are projected to lower maintenance costs by $100 million annually, while another $500 million in potential gains is anticipated from boosting employee productivity. The company also sees $150 million in potential savings from sourcing and $100 million by shifting distribution channels by which it sells fares, according to the presentation.
"The plan we've laid out today will allow us to grow our earnings by delivering on cost reductions and revenue initiatives, and will remove a lot of risk in the business," Chief Financial Officer John Rainey said. Achieving those targets "will allow us to get to the point sometime in 2015 that we can begin returning cash to shareholders."
United will shift use of some of its largest planes, as well as cancel flights between Seattle and Tokyo, and Tokyo and Bangkok. A smaller plane will be used for flights between Tokyo and Seoul and a second daily Houston-Tokyo flight will be added. The carrier will also put Dreamliners into new markets.
Redesigned website
The airline said it would generate $3.5 billion in ancillary revenue by 2017 through new purchase options for customers and improved pricing on existing products. It also will introduce a redesigned website that will be unveiled in phases over the next year.
United's third-quarter pretax margin of 5.8 percent trailed the 11.5 percent at Delta Air Lines Inc., 9.5 percent at US Airways Group Inc. and 9.2 percent at Southwest Airlines Co.
In October, Smisek said the carrier had addressed maintenance issues with its biggest planes that resulted in them being placed on less-than optimal routes. Those changes are expected to create a $40 million annual benefit, the airline said. United also has resolved a revenue management system error that caused it to sell too many low fares for too long.

Eureka Miniatures: 28mm Tripod Fighting Machine
Eureka Miniatures has released a massive (400mm or so tall) tripod fighting machine suitable for Martian invasions of Earth and other such games. There's also a Martian cephalopod to go with it.
The tripod works out at £82.50 including VAT. That's a substantial sum for most gamers, so Fighting 15s will not be holding stocks of either it or the cephalopod. However, the items are listed in the online shop (codes 100SCI01 and 100SCI02) and can be obtained to special order with an estimated delivery time of about eight weeks (they will be added to our bulk shipments which only get dispatched on reaching 30kg; working this way cuts about 7% off delivery costs and, perhaps unbelievably, keeps prices lower).
Anyone who absolutely must have a tripod fighting machine quickly should go direct to Eureka in Australia. It will almost certainly attract VAT and a tax collection fee on arrival in the UK: you have been warned.

Community Initiatives
At Tillery Valley we pride ourselves on supporting the local community and those who are part of it.
We work closely with the local schools to encourage work experience allowing young people to have the opportunity to see a manufacturing environment and gain an insight in to what we do and the people we serve. Some of these young people could be our employees of the future so it is vital to build that relationship with the people of Abertillery.
Over the last few years we have encouraged apprentices at Tillery Valley and we now have 3, a finance apprentice, an administration apprentice and a human resource apprentice. We have also supported apprentices in engineering over the past few years and are looking to grow this scheme going forward.

We are giving them every opportunity to develop their careers for the future whilst allowing them to add value and contribute to the organisation.
We worked with the Prince's Trust in 2012 and launched a "Get Into" programme to help individuals from the local community back into work. As a result we are looking to redo this in 2015 with a one month programme, where individuals can learn new skills and experience which will enhance their employability skills for the future.
We must also not forget our valued and loyal employees who are employed on a permanent basis with us. We have many staff that have over 20 years service and are key to the stability of Tillery Valley. As a result we have offered all our employees the opportunity to complete an NVQ and allow the opportunity to develop and multiskill where possible.
Our people are key to our business and are truly a valuable asset to us. They take pride in the food they make with consideration of our customers and clients and what they need.

Construction managers agreed Thursday to stop using a loud jackhammer at night along the LBJ Express project after neighbors complained they couldn't sleep and one man posted a YouTube video of the noisy work.
Neighbors say crews have used a "jackhammer on steroids" to tear down a large retaining wall on the south side of Interstate 635 near Welch Road in North Dallas.
"It's just a bam-bam-bam-bam-bam," Melissa Marco said.
The latest news from around North Texas.
It would start at about 3 a.m. or 4 a.m., neighbors said.
"We just couldn't sleep," Francis Stanush said.
But neighbors said their complaints fell on deaf ears.
"We're all excited about the finished product, what it's going to bring to the area," Dean Lee said. "But just some common sense for the neighborhood is all we're looking for."
In an email to one neighbor, LBJ Express spokeswoman Heather DeLapp wrote: "It would make it easier for everyone if in fact we could manage the hours so that we didn't disturb people but the honest answer is there is never a good time for construction."
Frustrated by a repeat of the loud noise at about 4 a.m. on Thursday, Stanush grabbed his iPhone, recorded a video and posted it on YouTube.
"This is compliments of LBJ Express and there's our house, right there," Stanush said in the video, pointing to his house.
Later Thursday, after seeing the video and being contacted by news reporters, construction managers agreed to limit the jackhammering from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
"That's much more tolerable for the community," Stanush said.
In a statement, DeLapp said other work would continue at night but crews would finish the jackhammering work during the day.
"Hopefully, this will help improve the current conditions and mitigate the impact to the neighborhood," she said.
LBJ Express is a private, for-profit toll road being built along Interstate 635 by a subsidiary of Spanish company Cintra. It is expected to be completed in late 2015.

Swedish blackened death metal band GRIEF OF EMERALD will release a new album, "It All Turns To Ashes", in December via Non Serviam Records. The CD was recorded by Stefan Karlsson (SOUL REAPER) and Dragan Tanaskovic at Bohus Sound studio in Kungälv, Sweden. The effort contains nine crushing songs with "dark, world-ending, anti-religious themes," according to a press release.
Commented drummer Carl Karlsson: "I think GRIEF OF EMERALD are one of the most potential bands in the black/death metal scene. GRIEF OF EMERALD gives their fans what they always have done. A mix of death and black metal with some epic feeling. I promise you that 'It All Turns To Ashes' is not gonna disappoint our fans. We are more darker, faster and more hatred than ever."
GRIEF OF EMERALD's fourth album, "The Devils Deep", came out in June 2011 through Non Serviam Records.
The band's previous three CDs — "Nightspawn" (1998), "Malformed Seed" (2000) and "Christian Termination" (2002) — were all made available through Listenable Records.

CEDAR FALLS, IA--(Marketwired - May 13, 2014) - A new book from self-made millionaire Mike Finley, "Financial Happine$$," (www.thecrazymaninthepinkwig.com), offers a no-nonsense approach to financial and overall well-being.
Finley, the teacher of a popular financial literacy class at his local university, speaks and writes from an engaging personal perspective in terms the average person can understand.
"What's sorely missing in our discussion about money is our relationship to it," says Finley, who covers in his book his journey to financial literacy and applying the principles that allowed him to retire from the Army a wealthy man.
"Just as we often eat to feel better, we also spend money because of how it makes us feel. From the beginning, we're exposed to advertising, which tells us that we're not quite fulfilled until we have a particular product."
A cornerstone of Finley's message is focusing on the potential of one's earning power throughout a lifetime, and money's limits to achieving happiness when it's spent on frivolous things.
"I want readers to learn how to bridge the gap between the world of money and the ultimate prize we all seek, which is true and lasting happiness," he says.
Henry Porter is one of the many Amazon reviewers who gave "Financial Happine$$" five stars:
"The most important tools you need for obtaining financial independence are right here... without all of the unnecessary complexities that so-called financial advisers use for enriching themselves instead of their clients," he writes. "The book includes an easy-to-understand glossary and many additional sources of information about personal finances."
Reviewer Dawn Panther writes, "...Going into retirement isn't so scary when you take Mike Finley's advice to heart..."
About Mike Finley
Like most Americans, Mike Finley was raised with no education in personal finances. Joining the Army out of high school, he realized he didn't understand money and began the task of educating himself. After 26 years in the service, while practicing the money management principles he learned, he retired a millionaire. Finley is the author of "Financial Happine$$," and teaches a popular financial literacy class at the University of Northern Iowa. He donates much of his time to additional groups, including Junior Achievement of Eastern Iowa and organizations serving veterans and current military personnel.

Everyone who has taken two seconds to survey the breadth in the vaporizer marketplace promptly notices that various brands tout their heating element as "the best available" whilst pointing out wellness risks related with their competitors' models. Evaluating all these (at times conflicting) statements is often very a task. The purpose of this short article is not to endorse a specific variety of heating element, but alternatively to collect the readily available information about heating components in one particular location to aid folks in making informed choices when purchasing a vaporizer.
Why Do Heating Elements Matter? The heating element is definitely the most integral a part of any vaporizer. It regulates the temperature on the air that catalyzes the active ingredients as the air passes via it. A note: the air passing through the heating element could possibly be either propelled by a pump in balloon-style models i.e. the Volcano Vaporizer or by one's own in direct-inhalation style vaporizers i.e. the VaporCannon. Some models, including the herbalAire, are capable of both balloon and direct-inhale style vaporization. A major requirement for all heating components is precision - you need your vaporizer to really be at the temperature you set - but wellness considerations might also play when individuals shop for vaporizers.
Ceramic heating elements will be the most commonly type of heating elements. Their proponents argue that they are the cleanest and hence healthiest alternative. This statement holds some truth: ceramics can withstand very higher temperatures (about 3000*F) just before the material starts to transform to a gas and are therefore extremely clean and wholesome. Some firms take this logic a step further and argue that considering that other forms of heating components have reduced "boiling points" they may be dirtier and less healthful. This argument is somewhat flawed: whilst other heating components have reduce boiling points, these points are usually still properly in excess of common vaporizing temperatures. Study regarding the specific sorts beneath for extra information.

Faith in Jesus is not commitment to your church or denomination. I believe in the local church; I am not a tabernacle man. I believe in the divine assembly. We …ought to realize that we are, as a group of Christians, a divine assembly, a cell in the body of Christ, alive with His life. But not for one second would I try to create in you a faith that would lead you to commit yourself irrevocably to a local church or to your church leaders. You are not asked to follow your church leaders. You are not asked like a little robin on the nest to open your innocent little mouth and just take anything I put in. If what I put in is not biblical food, regurgitate and do not be afraid to do it. Call me or come see me or write me an anonymous letter. But do something about it. Do not, by any means, swallow what your leaders give you. Here is the book, the Bible; go to it. Faith is faith in Jesus Christ, God"s Son. It is total faith in Christ and not in a denomination or church, though you may love the church and respect and love your leaders and your denomination. But your commitment is to Christ.
A. W. Tozer Sermon: The Danger of Mis-placed Commitment
Church According to Tozer…
Faith in Jesus is not commitment to your church or denomination. I believe in the local church; I am not a tabernacle man. I believe in the divine assembly. We …ought to realize that we are, as a group of Christians, a divine assembly, a cell in the body of Christ, alive with His life. But not for one second would I try to create in you a faith that would lead you to commit yourself irrevocably to a local church or to your church leaders. You are not asked to follow your church leaders. You are not asked like a little robin on the nest to open your innocent little mouth and just take anything I put in. If what I put in is not biblical food, regurgitate and do not be afraid to do it. Call me or come see me or write me an anonymous letter. But do something about it. Do not, by any means, swallow what your leaders give you. Here is the book, the Bible; go to it. Faith is faith in Jesus Christ, God"s Son. It is total faith in Christ and not in a denomination or church, though you may love the church and respect and love your leaders and your denomination. But your commitment is to Christ.
I recently read a "Statement of Faith" from a church in my area. They stated that a 10% tithe is a requirement for being in agreement with them. I see a couple of problems with this.
First Problem
Many Christians simply cannot afford to give 10%. They either are barely making enough to get by or have mismanaged their funds. This "requirement" will alienate them, embarrass or even humiliate them. So, perhaps we should offer them financial counseling so they can get their finances in order? Don't get me wrong. I believe that we should give to God, without a doubt.
I counseled a couple a few years ago about giving. The wife said, "If we don't tithe, God will give me a flat tire!" I replied, "Do you tithe?" "Yes," she said. I replied, "Do you ever get flat tires?" She paused for a moment and said, "Yes." I replied, "Then what is wrong with your thinking?" She considered tithing a legal obligation, so much so, that if she didn't God would punish her. Nothing could be further from the truth. Such is the same with this church statement of faith.
To require 10% as a legal obligation will limit the range of people you will be able to minister to.
Second Problem
Many Christians can afford to give more than 10%. Significantly more. When I pastored full time, I went to a pastor's conference. One of the speakers encouraged us to challenge our congregation to give 10%. As some of us discussed this afterwards, I told them that if I told the congregation to give 10% the offerings would decrease, not increase!
The Solution?
"So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver." (2 Corinthians 9:7, NKJV)
Teach the Word and trust God to speak to the heart of each believer.
Think about it…
Sunday Quotes
"God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with him." Jim Elliot
"God knows you intimately. That means all the good as well as the bad. And He still is madly in love with us." Jon Clayton
"We may depend upon God's promises, for He will be as good as His Word. He is so kind that He cannot deceive us, so true that He cannot break His promise." Matthew Henry
"Continue seeking Him with seriousness. Unless he wanted you, you would not be wanting Him." C.S. Lewis
"We may be statistics and numbers as far as the world's computers are concerned, but we are precious individuals as far as our Shepherd is concerned. He knows his sheep personally." Warren Wiersbe
"The Oriental shepherd was always ahead of his sheep. He was down in front. Any attack upon them had to take him into account. Now God is down in front. He is in the tomorrows. It is tomorrow that fills men with dread. God is there already. All the tomorrows of our life have to pass Him before they can get to us." F.B. Meyer
"Do not look for God to come in any particular way, but look for Him. That is the way to make room for Him. Expect Him to come, but do not expect Him only in a certain way. However much we may know God, the great lesson to learn is that at any minute He may break in. We are apt to over look this element of surprise, yet God never works in any other way." Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest
Great Faith
"First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world." Romans 1:8, NKJV
Oh, to have great faith! How marvelous that would be. To be able to trust God in any and all circumstances, not because we cannot trust Him; we can, it is just that so often, we don't. How many times I have despaired of hope, yet He remains faithful!
The faith of the believers had been so notorious, it was spoken of throughout the whole Roman Empire! To be such a man as to have my faith so known!
George Muller was such a man. This is just a few things he said about faith:
"The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith, and the beginning of true faith is the end of anxiety."
"If the Lord fails me at this time, it will be the first time."
"To learn strong faith is to endure great trials. I have learned my faith by standing firm amid severe testing's."
Trusting God in the midst of every circumstance should be simple for us. Just look at His record of faithfulness in our lives. Yet, we doubt so often.
When Peter sank beneath the waves (after walking on water, no less), Jesus said to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?" (Matthew 14:31, NKJV), I do not believe it was a stern rebuke. It was, I believe, the tender voice of love, encouraging him not to doubt, but to believe.
Have you heard that tender voice? I have, more times than I can remember. Yet, He has not changed. Even if we do doubt Him, He has promised to never leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5).
Think about it…
"To him who is afflicted, kindness should be shown by his friend, Even though he forsakes the fear of the Almighty." Job 6:14, NKJV
Over the years, I have judged by some of the best. You see, it is unfortunate, but Job's comforters still exist. There are those who just can't seem to keep from judging everything you say and do.
Now it is important to understand that Job was not guilty of any wrongdoing: "In all this Job did not sin nor charge God with wrong." Job 1:22, NKJV
Job's "friends" told him that it was obvious that he had some sin that, while though he had did it from men, he could not hid it from God. And God was judging him for his sin. Now essentially Job told them, "even if I had forsaken the fear of the Almighty, you 'men of God' should show me kindness."
Now, at the end of the book, God speaks and says, "Who are these who don't know what they are talking about?" If you have been a victim of these know-it-all's you know how Job feels. Lord knows, I do.
But that is another story.
Think about it…

Tragedy in the Church
"Ruling out the discernment and leadership of the Holy Spirit is the only possible explanation for the manner in which Christian churches have yielded to the temptation to entertain."
A.W. Tozer wrote this before his death in 1963, yet it is still applicable. That is because his words were the Holy Spirits words, that which He desired to declare.
There are those who don't like Tozer, believing him to be harsh, even judgmental. In his day, there were those who disliked him as well.
Harley Howard, a contemporary of Tozer, wrote, "unquestionably (Tozer) one of the greatest men who ever preached the Bible, was a man ridiculed while he lived because he was so 'out of touch' with the religious establishment around him. What made him so 'out of touch' with those around him was the fact that he was so "in touch" with God."
Perhaps, man of God, you are discouraged because you are not appearing to have an "impact" (as men measure "impact"). Perhaps men have accused you of being out of touch because you do not join in the "entertainment." Perhaps you are not the one who is out of touch?
Think about it…
The Goodness of God
"The goodness of God leads you to repentance…" Romans 2:4 (NKJV)
In the midst of warning men about the consequences of their sins, Paul writes the above sentence. He is telling us that the call to repentance is because God is good! When God calls the unbeliever or believer to repentance, it is because of His goodness towards us.
The enemy of our faith is constantly lying to us about God. His lies usually go something like this:
"God is trying to keep you from having fun… He is keeping something good from you… if you give these things up, your life will be a drag…"
The truth is, when God is asking us to turn away from sin, it is for two reasons:
1. He desires to protect us. Paul goes on to tell us in Romans the consequences (wages) of sin is death (Romans 6:23). Following the world and the things of the world has only one consequence – death. So, God in calling us to turn away (repent) from the things of the world, He is protecting us from a life time of pain and sorrow (even though it may seem like fun now) and eventual death.
2. He desires to provide for us. Submitting your life to God is not the drag the enemy of our faith says it is. John the beloved says, "His commandments are not burdensome." (1 John 5:3, NKJV). Inspired by the Holy Spirit, these words are true. God cannot lie! He has something significantly better for your life right now! Abundant life now and life eternal with Him.
Now, let me say that the Christian life is difficult. Jesus said it best: "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it." (Matthew 7:13-14, NKJV)
It is difficult to be a Christian. Jesus said so. But it is even more difficult to continue in sin. So, when He calls us to repent, it is because of His goodness towards us.
I believe that we are living on the edge of eternity. At any time Jesus could return for His Church. Will we be ready? Will He find us in sin, complacent, absorbed by the things of the world? Or will He find us working, watching and waiting?
Think about it…

Six NYFW shows that brought the catwalk to the public
Sep 13, 2019 | By WGSN Insider
Jan 09, 2015
Paris: Julie de Libran's second collection for the Left Bank house was a cozy and warm affair, headlined by fuzzy sweaters, thick knitted tights and shearling-trimmed coats. The designer inspiration came from images of a Rykiel show in the seventies and the result was a captivating journey into this strongly favored era. Stripes were spliced into Liberty silks and jacquards on dresses and jumpsuits, while flared and high-waisted sailor pants were presented in denim materials and frayed cuffs. Other standouts included covetable suede A-line skirts, high-waisted shorts and marabou coats. Jumpsuits were presented in softer cuts with drawstring waists; textured knit capes and plaid tailored suits highlighted the effortless Parisian cool of the house. A retro-flavored collection that embodied energy and sophistication. – Diego Sanchez

There is no other way to describe the Ligurian coast in the north of Italy
other than simply gorgeous and naturally so. Sailing along in your yacht
along one of the most beautiful stretches of the Mediterranean Sea, fondly
known as "the big blue", the view from the water of the cliffs
and craggy coves with the immense outline of the Alps is breathtaking. The
Alps are so close, within an hour's drive you can reach the ski slopes.
So it is possible to combine a day's skiing with your leisurely yacht
vacation. Or like us you can choose to lie on the deck of your yacht in the
warmth of the spring sun while marvelling at the snow capped mountains a
stone's throw away.
The proximity of the ports to the town centers and tourist attractions makes
it easy to visit the main points of interest without leaving the luxury of

The grapes are immediately pressed and fermented under a controlled temperature, and vinified in stainless steel for about 5 months. The wine is then filtered and rests in the bottle for an additional 2 months before release. This is a delicate, straw colored white wine that's fresh, fragrant and pleasantly smooth with a sophisticated character that pairs perfectly with appetizers, shellfish or combinations of fish, white meats, pastas with light sauces, and soft cheeses.

News Orgs & Activists: Onionize Your Sites Against Censorship
In many countries, censorship of websites with critical information or news is commonplace. If opinions, analysis, or facts contrary to the country's narrative are published, repressive governments can quickly silence those voices by blocking access to those websites.
For instance, in September 2017, one day after Human Rights Watch released a report on systematic torture in Egypt's jails, Egypt blocked access to the HRW website, curtailing its people's access to the report and leaving them uninformed about their own countries treatment of its citizens. Egypt has also blocked numerous news sites, including Al Jazeera, so when AJ reported on Egypt's block of HRW after the report on torture was released, the most critical audience, the Egyptian people, were less likely to be reached.
Publishing a website using onion services over the Tor network is a way to circumvent many state-led methods of censorship. These website addresses end in the TLD .onion. Similar to how the https:// protocol of a website provides more security than the http:// protocol, an onion address also appears to be the same site but gives a visitor more privacy and security through end-to-end encryption and improved authentication.
Visiting an onion address is easy. All that's needed is Tor Browser (Tor Browser is built from Firefox and is similar to use); you visit the onion address in Tor Browser like you visit any web address.
Here's the onion address of torproject.org: http://expyuzz4wqqyqhjn.onion/
The New York Times has an onion address: https://www.nytimes3xbfgragh.onion/
So does ProPublica: https://www.propub3r6espa33w.onion/
Download Tor Browser and check them out.
If your organization's site is already blocked anywhere in the world, or if you are calling out injustices, sharing state-suppressed resources, or just want to provide your site and users with better privacy and security, creating an onion version of your website should be your next step.
Alec Muffett, a security researcher and longtime member of the Tor Community, has created the Enterprise Onion Toolkit (EOTK) to make it easier for you to give a public site a corresponding onion address. You can ping Alec on Twitter or join the EOTK mailing list if you have any questions about how to use it.
We want a free and open internet for all, so let's onionize and build it.
Remember: only HTTPS…
Remember: only HTTPS provides end-to-end encryption in web browser context.
Tor provides tor-to-tor encryption. Ask researchers to explain you the difference.
Onion Services this post is…
Onion Services this post is about are encrypted all the way to server even though the address bar reads http://something.onion. That doesn't prevent you from also adding TLS certificate, but related registration procedures -- especially if they require payments, can deanonymize you. This is dangerous if your intention is e.g. hosting controversial information about your government .
Old onion services use…
Old onion services use RSA1024 which is broken. So MiTM is possible.
Next Gen onion services rely on highly-criticized cryptoprimitives like NSA-backed SHA3 (Keccak). If it is broken - everything is broken.
Who have made this decision and why?
Tor Browser 7.5 is released …
Tor Browser 7.5 is released | January 23, 2018
officially the sponsors & the giant of the net decide & the teams obey.
in fact it is a technical & a social problem :
- with a weak Tor, you do not drive the same clients ... the time has changed since 2013 & another client need another Tor & onion-network so they did it ...
- cryptography is a very difficult science and the *quantum issue is not solved ; the board of the tor-project take the decisions ... with the agreement of a lot of different actors whom govt/police one ...
sha3 is not broken & a quantum computer does not yet exist.
nsa has not built sha3 afaik : misinformation ?
Next-generation onion crypto…
Next-generation onion crypto replaces SHA1/DH/RSA1024 with SHA3/ed25519/curve25519. Many open-source projects prefer elliptic curves based on 25519 precisely because they were not influenced by NSA. As for SHA3, do you mean the capacity change controversy during the NIST hash function competition? Because NIST decided not to go through with it. "In response to the controversy, in November 2013 John Kelsey of NIST proposed to go back to the original c = 2d proposal for all SHA-2 drop-in replacement instances. These changes were confirmed in the April 2014 draft. This proposal was implemented in the final release standard in August 2015."
Or is there something else?
> Who have made this decision and why?
It's called proposal 224 (prop224).
RSA1024 which is broken…
RSA1024 which is broken
From what source? If you're referring to RSA1024 it is not broken because it has not been factored yet. If you do that you'll earn 100 thousand dollars

Love Never Loses Faith
Bethany is a creative and traditional. There was no way she would use Facebook's event feature to host a party. No, if she's hosting a party, she's making the cards and mailing them to her friends to make things special. All the cards had been sent but the one for her friend Sarah. Bethany hadn't seen Sarah in forever, and decided to invite her out to lunch to give her the invitation personally.
Sarah couldn't believe it. Bethany was having a party and their mutual friends on Facebook were posting their excitement of having received the most beautiful invitations from her. Every day she checked her mailbox, but no invitation, just bills. She couldn't believe she wasn't invited. "I thought we were friends," she mused. "But maybe we aren't as good friends as I thought we were."
She was crushed and upset - it felt like high school all over again. She had lost faith in her friend. Imagine Sarah's surprise when she received Bethany's text to do lunch...and the moment she received the hand delivered invitation from Bethany. Sarah had assumed the worst, only to discover her friend had the best intentions.
Love believes all things; it keeps the faith. Love doesn't rush to judgement; it gives people the benefit of the doubt. Alex Kendrick says that even when we give someone the benefit of the doubt and "our worst hopes are proven to be true, love makes every effort to deal with them and move forward. As much as possible, love focuses on the positive." Who do you need to give the benefit of the doubt to today?
- Today's Prayer -
Dear Lord,
Help me not to rush to judgement about anyone today. Help me to give them the benefit of the doubt the way I'd hope someone would give it to me. Help me not to be gullible but to be wise with my love knowing that it's better to be generous with love than stingy.
