From George Washington to Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, comte de Rochambeau, 24 October 1780
Head Quarters Prackness Octr 24th 1780
I have been successively honored with your letters of the 13th 16th and 19th of Octobr. I think the change you have made respecting Lauzun's cavalry will be an advantageous one.
Since my last, we have accounts both by way of Statia and New York that the Combined fleets consisting of thirty sail of the line off Cape Finisterre, fell in with an outward bound fleet and took fifty odd sail of them, among which were five East India men; the rest were for the West Indies. This is an important article, and has all the marks of authenticity.
I have just received another account from New York that a part of the Cork fleet has been taken; but this though probable enough wants confirmation. I have the honor to be With great esteem and attachment Your Excellencys Most Obedient Servt
Go: Washington
P.S. The fleet in New York harbour is said to consist of the Sandwich of 90 and three of 74—Two seventy fours went with the fleet to the Southward.

Hi everyone,
I just ran across some pictures in my files sent to me by Patrick Reynolds, conductor of the Dayton, Ohio Philharmonic Youth Orchestra in 2014. I must say they perform in some nice digs! The program read:
Dayton Philharmonic Youth Orchestra Together with Dayton Ballet II Present BUGS!, the Final Concert in the 2013-2014 Family Series
On Sunday, March 30, 2014 at 3 p.m. in the Mead Theatre of the Schuster Center, Conductor Patrick Reynolds and the Dayton Philharmonic Youth Orchestra will present the DP&L Foundation Family Series Concert entitled BUGS!. This final Family Concert of the 2013-2014 Season is sponsored (rather fittingly) by Extermital Termite and Pest Control Company, because BUGS! in costume on the Mead Stage dancing to music performed by a highly talented orchestra of accomplished students are a must-see for families, while bugs in your house are not.
The concert will also feature delightful poems from David Harrison's children's book, "Bugs: Poems about Creepy Things". Illustrated by Rob Shepperson, the book will be available for purchase in the Wintergarden before and after the concert.
How I wish I could have been one of the 1,200 who attended that concert! Maestro Reynolds conducted some of the numbers with a fly swatter. BUGS was on the NCTE awards list for Notable Poetry in 2007.

bead soup – reveal, sort of
This year's Bead Soup Blog Party challenge is all about love & heart!
Lori Anderson – the mastermind behind Bead Soup – designated the theme of this swap to send something treasured to another, to spread the kindness and love, "… to feel like a true giving of the heart. Paying love forward to a person you may not even know." What a sweet sentiment.
Our partner packages were to be shipped out on Valentine's day (Was this a coincidence? I think not!)
So, what did I send my partner? A treasured polymer clay Heart focal piece by Anastasia of Dreams & Elements. I knew as soon as Lori announced her theme, that this was the piece – that it fit the theme perfectly – and that it was meant to be passed on …
(and included with the polymer clay heart, were a few other little pieces to help get the creative flow going … some turquoise chips, beautiful wooly wire, twilight cultured potato pearls, tiny pyrite hearts (I sense a trend here!), black & cream lampwork spacer beads by Burnt Glass Studio, vintage tribal tube beads and some vintage khaki glass beads)
Normally I would have written a whole separate post earlier, to introduce my partner Claire Fabian of Saraccino – to tell you that she loves nature, organic textures and found objects – whose style is tribal and has an ancient vibe – that creating helps her de-stress from her day job doing research in Leipzig, Germany – that she creates the most wonderful, earthy, organic pieces (just one look at her instagram feed and you'll see what I mean!) … and to share what I had received … but unfortunately, her package to me may have opted to take the scenic route for now … to travel around and have an adventure of it's own … to see what is to be seen in this beautiful world of ours! My hope is that once it has finished it's walk-about, it will decide to find it's way here, to it's new home, and that I can share it with you then.
In the meantime, still wanting to be a part of the party and to play along, I've chosen to create some pieces using other items that I have been hoarding for some time … vintage and upcycled coins. They are mostly from around Europe (including some from trips to Germany – where Claire is from), and include some amazing coin beads made by my previous bead soup partner and friend Niky Sayers. Since our pairing in 2014 – I have commissioned Niky a few times, to make clasps for a series of Canadian (and American) penny wrap bracelets, and she has so graciously gifted me special treats (wonderful buttons and beads) along the way – all of which I have collected and admired for years – squirreling them away – waiting for a special moment to use them, and guess what?! This is it! What a perfect opportunity to do them justice. 🙂
I used three of Niky's coin beads – a Canadian penny, a sweet wren British farthing, and an Irish peacock penny (!) in these colourful tassel necklaces.
Loving the bohemian/gypsy/hippie vibe … I also made a few more necklaces …
… using my old, hoarded coins – German pfennigs, French centimes, a Dutch guilder and a Cuban centavos – doming and hole punching each to create the start of the focal piece.
I handmade each of the tassels using various colours of embroidery floss, and then embellished them all with a mixture of either rhinestones, amethyst beads, moss agate, aventurine, turquoise, copper or seed beads and brass chain to create a little bit of an accent and add to the folksy feel.
I just love all of the bright colours (and apparently, so does my cat, Loco – I actually caught him carrying one off after I had set them all up to be photographed and left to get my camera!)
I have not heard from Claire since she received her goodies, but I hope that she's had a chance to create – and am really looking forward to what she does with her bead soup mix! Let's go have a look at her site to find out … 🙂
And to see the rest of the Bead Soup participants (and there are A LOT!), have a look at the end of this (our amazing hostess – Lori's) post for the full list … or see below ↓↓↓ (you might just want to grab a cup of coffee first, and then sit back, relax and admire all of the awesome creativeness!)
Thank you so much to Lori, for creating, organizing and continuing on with her Bead Soup Blog Party!
Lori Anderson :: our amazing Hostess
Claire Fabian – that's my partner
Kristina Hahn Eleniak – that's me!

"At a time of record public debt-to-GDP ratios among advanced economies, Sweden is noteworthy for its strong public finances," the IMF wrote in the latest edition of its Fiscal Monitor newsletter.
In a subsection entitled "Lessons from Sweden", the IMF details several aspects of how Sweden has managed its public finances since the 2009 recession that could be useful for other countries struggling to find their way out of fiscal trouble.
Specifically, the IMF lauds Sweden for "building up fiscal buffers" during better economic times. Prior to the onset of the economic crisis which developed following the collapse of the 2008 Lehman Brothers bank in the United States, Sweden had a budget surplus of 3.5 percent of GDP.
"When the recession hit (with real GDP contracting by 5 percent in 2009, compared to an average decline of 3.5 percent across advanced economies), the government had enough fiscal space ... to implement stimulus measures without jeopardizing fiscal sustainability," the IMF wrote.
The IMF also noted the credibility of Sweden's central bank, the Riksbank, in allowing for a more aggressive use of monetary policy, as well as the flexibility of the krona exchange rate.
Sweden's decisive action in propping up ailing banks in 2008-2009, was also cited as a contributing factor to how the country managed the crisis.
"The authorities took fast action to calm depositors and interbank markets, including a doubling and extension of the deposit guarantee and introduction of new bank recapitalization and debt guarantee schemes," the IMF wrote.
The report comes as the IMF published its latest World Economic Outlook in which it predicts global economic growth will only reach 3.3 percent in 2012 and 3.6 percent in 2013.
"Low growth and uncertainty in advanced economies are affecting emerging market and developing economies through both trade and financial channels, adding to homegrown weaknesses," said IMF Chief Economist Olivier Blanchard in a statement.
For Sweden, the IMF predicts economic growth of 1.2 percent this year and 2.2 percent in 2013. The Riksbank, meanwhile, forecast Swedish economic growth of 1.5 percent in 2012 and 1.9 percent in 2013, while Finance Minister Anders Borg's budget bill includes a forecast of 1.6 percent this year and 2.7 percent in 2013.
The IMF and Borg, however, were in agreement in their forecasts for unemployment in Sweden in 2013, predicting it will fall slightly to 7.5 percent.

"Once I returned I knew the U30X Community was something I wanted to be more involved in."
-Loren Wakham
I found U30X at the perfect time, or actually they found me (thanks Instagram). While all my college girlfriends were getting married I was going through a nasty breakup and needed an escape from all the madness. After poking around the website I noticed an upcoming trip to Machu Picchu; several of my friends raved about how great Peru was, so I knew it was the winner! I booked the trip within the week and never looked back. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
The trip was nothing short of amazing - the food, culture, scenery and most importantly my trip mates exceeded every exception I had. Once I returned I knew the U30X Community was something I wanted to be more involved in and apart of long term, so being a Community Manager was the perfect fit. When I'm not obsessively daydreaming about world travels I work for C3 Presents as an accountant in their casinos division. I love college football, the Texas Hill Country and my dachshund, Sully.
I am a Texas native who loves trying new foods, my dog, and taking pictures of memories made in the moment. Travel was introduced to me at a young age and has become a passion of mine through the years, and especially so after my first international trip to Costa Rica in December 2015. I am currently working as a Travel Coordinator for a State Agency in TX, and striving towards earning my certification as a Travel Agent. I have my eyes set on California, Costa Rica again, Belize, Vermont, Portugal, and Spain for 2017.
The U30X community has brought me countless lifetime friendships as well as opportunities to step outside my comfort zone in new ways. I love that this community is so involved in helping one another in any way they can.

The second day of the Pro Kabaddi player auctions continued to see heavy bidding from the 12 franchisees as they built their Teams. While none of the bids went as high as on Wednesday, there were some closely fought ones.
The costliest player of the day was Prashant Kumar Rai, acquired by UP Yoddhas for Rs 7.9 million. The second highest bid was Rs 6.12 million by Dabang Delhi, for acquiring Chandran Ranjit. Of the 422 players available in the auction, a total of 200 were sold at varying prices.
The 12 franchisees spent close to Rs 460 million on player acquisition in all, the highest spending coming from Telugu Titans. They acquired 18 players for Rs 39.85 million. Each team had a salary purse of Rs 40 million for player acquisition, including the money spent on retaining players. With this, kabaddi players are among the highest bid for among non-cricket games.
In fact, Monu Goyat, taken by Haryana Steelers for Rs 15.1 million, is the highest paid sportsperson in domestic leagues today, excluding cricketers. Footballer Sunil Chhetri is next, with a winning bid of Rs 15 million placed by Bengaluru FC in the fourth season auction of the Indian Super League.
After playing sensational knock of unbeaten 94 runs off 50 balls against West Indies, Virat Kohli was widely praised. In the enthralling opener of ongoing three-match T20I series against Kieron Pollard's team, India won the match by six wickets.
Kohli played his career-best T20I knock against Windies in Hyderabad. His flabbergasting innings had six fours and the same number of sixes.
Sir Vivian Richards lauded Virat's stellar performance. Virat Kohli was quick to reply and wrote, "Thanks big BOSS. Coming from you means a lot".
Thanks big BOSS. Coming from you means a lot ��— Virat Kohli (@imVkohli
December 7, 2019
Both India and West Indies will play the second encounter of the ongoing series on December 8 at Greenfield International Stadium in Trivandrum.
Virat Kohli hammered the Windies bowlers to chase a mammoth target of 208 and single-handedly took away the match from the rivals in the 1st T20I in Hyderabad.
Kohli's majestic innings of (94* off 50) laced with six fours and as many maximums prompted Harbhajan Singh to realize that 'King Kohli's masterclass can make the impossible possible.
After India's emphatic 6-wicket victory over West Indies with eight balls to spare, Harbhajan Singh applauded Kohli and performance of other players.
The 'Turbanator' also praised KL Rahul who contributed with much needed 62 runs after Rohit Sharma departed early on just 8 runs.
He also praised Rishabh Pant for his cameo of 18 runs in 9 balls against the Caribbean bowlers.
Harbhajan Tweeted, "Kohli hai tho kuch bi possible hai what a chase @imVkohli well done captain. superb inn from @klrahul11 too and lil cameo from @RishabhPant17 great win @BCCI"
Earlier, India were in a bit trouble, when the visitors posted a mammoth total of 207 runs.
However, Kohli's career-best 94* took India to an emphatic win.
With Kohli's heroics, India are now 1-0 up in the ongoing three-match T20I series against Kieron Pollard-led West Indies.
Although Indian skipper Virat Kohli stole the show against West Indies in the first T20I encounter at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, explosive opener KL Rahul also put his best efforts to drive the hosts to the brilliant six-wicket win.
The 27-year-old right-handed batsman gave a head-start to Men in Blue as he notched up important 62 runs off just 40 balls after 'Hitman' Rohit Sharma failed to score for the home team. Sharma lost his crucial wicket to Khary Pierre in the fourth over after scoring just 8 runs off 10 balls.
Rahul also touched down the benchmark of 1000 runs in T20I format and became the third fastest batsman to achieve this feat in just 29 innings.
In the absence of Shikhar Dhawan, the Karnataka based batsman was asked to fill the big void and he successfully justified his role by playing some excellent shots against Kieron Pollard-led team.
Being an Indian opener, Rahul feels that his job is to set the foundation for his team so that the other players can easily achieve the target in the end .
Speaking to the press after the memorable win of India over Windies, Rahul said, "Everybody likes me when I score runs, that's how it goes. I don't plan my innings according to the strike rate. If I get set, I can chase it down, I know that. My role is to set the foundation and we have others to do their job later, the finishing job".
With an average of 96.55 in successful ODI run-chases and 120.90 in successful T20I chases, Virat Kohli is the king of chases in limited-overs cricket. His numbers are awe-inspiring. The Indian skipper has made a habit of winning games consistently when it comes to hunting down totals.
He is an absolute master and genius in such scenarios. He shone through for the Men in Blue in the first T20I against West Indies in Hyderabad. Kohli's unbeaten 50-ball-94 helped India chase down 208 runs, their highest-ever in the format. Today, we will take a look at 4 things that make Virat Kohli the best chaser in white-ball cricket.
You don't earn reputation in anything by doing it just on a few occasions. You have to keep repeating the same feat numerous times to establish yourself as master in anything. And Kohli has proven that there is no better master in the art of run-chasing than him. The right-hander has helped India win games in chases consistently. The unbeatable hunger and passion with which he plays drive him to such consistency. Because only those attributes can keep pushing you towards excellence over and again. We might get bored of seeing him winning the games for India in chases given how often he does it, but he won't as he had once said that consistency is boring but he would keep pushing himself towards it.
Machine-esque Calculation
Unlike batting first, in chases, you have a fixed target in mind. The moment you start drifting, the required run-rate starts climbing. A great presence of mind and discipline is required in chases. You have to blunt out the most potent bowlers of the opposition, know when the weakling will come on and target in alignment to the target. Kohli does all of it smoothly. He is one-step ahead of the opposition and very well knows how to execute his game plan. The star batter will hit boundaries when he wants, will keep sprinting between the 22 yards in middle-overs, play out the biggest threats with solid planning and he just functions like a ruthless calculator.
Acceleration Power
Unlike the older times, in modern-day cricket, you can't survive without accelerating rapidly as a chaser since there are bigger totals to chase. And Kohli does that very well. He is not someone known for hitting too many aerial/lofted strokes but when the situation arrives, he can decimate even the best of bowlers in the business in his own imitable way. He doesn't muscle the ball rather times it effortlessly. Once he gains momentum in his knock, the acceleration that his innings goes through is simply phenomenal.
Take the example of his 94* against Windies in the first T20I. The no.1 Test and ODI batsman in the world had made just 44 runs off his first 34 deliveries at a strike-rate of 129.41. But suddenly, he changed gears akin to some power-hitter and blasted the next 50 runs in just 16 deliveries at a remarkable strike-rate of 312.50. His ability to cut loose successfully makes him a top-notch chaser.
Ability to handle pressure
A player like Virat Kohli revels under pressure. He is a world-class batsman and champion players like him want to be in the thick of things when the going gets tough. Kohli loves the spotlight and wants to shine under it. The 31 years old is the man for big occasions. Chasing might be daunting for some, but Kohli craves such situations as it keeps him going.
In the first T20I against Windies, there was a war of words going on between Kohli and West Indies players, India were chasing 208 runs, he wasn't middling the ball in the first half of his innings but all these didn't deter him. In fact, it pumped him up to bring out his best game on display and helped India cross the line with ease. King Kohli is born to handle pressure.
Glenn McGrath was one of the best fast bowlers of his time. He still holds numerous records in Test cricket and one-day internationals. The former pacer is spending quality time with his family since he bid adieu to his beloved sport. The proud father congratulated his daughter, Holly, who graduated High School. The veteran took to Twitter to pen down a heartwarming message for Holly.
"So proud of my daughter Holly for graduating High School. Her dedication, organisational skills & work ethic has been amazing, plus she's a beautiful person, inside & out. Chase your dreams, continue to work hard & enjoy life. Congrats Doll xx #proudfather," he wrote.
Meanwhile, he has limited his presence as far as cricket related activities are concerned. The 49-year old former star takes care of McGrath Foundation, which he had started with his late wife Jane. She passed away after a long battle with breast cancer.
The foundation raises money to fund McGrath Breast Care Nurses in communities right across Australia and increase breast awareness in young women.
Virat Kohli played one of the best innings of his T20I career in the first match against the Windies. The Indian skipper scored an unbeaten 94 runs which led India to a comfortable win by six wickets.
The 31-year old was slow in the first phase of his knock but picked the pace at the right time. He was particularly severe against Kesrick Williamson, who had once mocked Virat after dismissing him in 2017.
Men in Blue blasted him for 23 runs in the 16th over of the Indian innings. Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan took to twitter to mock the rival bowler.
He recreated a famous dialogue from his blockbuster movie Amar Akbar Anthony, and wrote, "यार कितनी बार बोला मई तेरे को .. की Virat को मत छेड़ , मत छेड़ , मत छेड़ … पन सुनताइच किधर है तुम … अभी पर्ची लिख के दे दिया ना हाथ में !!!!देख देख .. WI का चेहरा देख; कितना मारा उसको, कितना मारा."
Virat spoke about his notebook celebration after the match. The captain revealed that he was taking revenge from the West Indies bowler, who had celebrated in the same fashion after dismissing him in one of the T20I matches.
While Virat Kohli and team were celebrating their incredible win over the Windies, former Indian skipper, Mohammed Azharuddin was cherishing the inauguration of newly-refurbished North Stand named after him at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
Azhar has face many ups-downs in his great career, but after being appointed as the President of Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA), it seems like all his struggles has paid off .
From being banned by cricket authorities for his alleged involvement in match -fixing scandal in 2000 to taking over as the chief of HCA, Azhar has come a long way.
However, the veteran feels that he always commanded respect in his career, but now when he has a position, he can make a difference easily.
"It's not that I have not been respected. I have always commanded respect. If you are nice to people and respect others, people will respect you back. But in every walk of life, you need a position to work. If you don't have a position, you can't work. You can't put things in the perspective".
The new Mohammed Azharuddin stand was inaugurated by the legendary cricketer VVS Laxman in the presence of former Indian off-spinner Noel David, Venkatpathy Raju and pacer Mohammed Siraj.
Virat Kohli took his revenge from Kesrick Williams in the first T20I at Hyderabad as he took the pacer for a lot of runs in the 16th over of the Indian innings. After hitting him for a six, Virat Kohli's notebook celebration caught everyone's attention. Virat's style was applauded by legendary Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan, who used one of the famous dialogues from his blockbuster movie Amar Akbar Anthony.
Virat Kohli, who is a big time follower of Bollywood actor, took to twitter to express his love for the veteran star.
Speaking at the post-match ceremony, Virat revealed the reason behind his celebration.
"It's not the CPL (about Williams's celebration), it happened to me in Jamaica when he got me out. So I thought I'll tick a few in the notebook as well, but all good. There were a few words, but smiles at the end. That's what you want to see. Good competitive cricket but in the end shake hands and give a hi-fi. That's what cricket is all about. Play it hard but have respect for opponents."
Virat Kohli smacked 94 not out off 50 balls for India to beat the West Indies by six wickets in the first Twenty20 on Friday.
Kohli's highest T20 score anchored India's chase of the 208-run target with eight balls to spare. The skipper hit six fours and another six sixes as his 35-ball half-century led India to 209-4 in 18.4 overs.
It was the highest T20 total chased down by India, going past the 207 versus Sri Lanka in Mohali in 2009.
India's chase faltered initially when Rohit Sharma was caught early on 8. After 10 overs, India as well placed at 89-1.
KL Rahul, in for the injured Shikhar Dhawan, combined with Kohli for 100. Rahul's half-century came off 37 balls. After he was dismissed in the 14th over for 62 off 40 balls, Kohli took center stage.
Kohli added a quickfire 48 runs off 17 balls with Rishabh Pant, who made 18 off 9.
Kesrick Williams conceded 23 runs in the 16th over and went 0-60. It was the turning point in India's chase as Kohli took 54 runs off the last 19 deliveries he faced.
"I didn't want to put pressure on Rahul but I couldn't get going properly," Kohli said. "I don't have to change much (in my batting) across formats. I just concentrate on doing the job instead of hitting (the ball) in the air. I played according to the situation in the second half (of my innings)."
It was the 23rd time he made fifty-plus in T20 cricket, the most by any batsman.
The West Indies scored 207-5 after it was sent in to bat. Shimron Hetmyer (56) scored his maiden T20 half-century.
After losing Lendl Simmons cheaply, Evin Lewis, with 40 off 17 balls, and Brandon King , with 31 off 23, gave the visitors an aggressive start. They put on 51 runs for the second wicket.
Ravindra Jadeja (1-30) was India's best bowler, and got King stumped in the 11th over.
Hetmyer struck four sixes and two fours as he scored a first T20 half-century off 35 deliveries.
Late blitzes by Kieron Pollard, 37 off 19 balls, and Jason Holder, 24 not out off nine, lifted West Indies past 200 easily.
"Two hundred and eight (is enough to defend) any day," Pollard said. "Where we lost the game was the extras and our bowling. Our execution was poor."
The second T20 of three is on Sunday in Thiruvananthapuram.
Pakistan test captain Azhar Ali wants to quickly forget the two losses to Australia and prepare for next week's home test series against Sri Lanka.
Pakistan couldn't win a single international match in Australia, losing the Twenty20 series 2-0 and then the test matches, which were part of World Test Championship, in Brisbane and Adelaide by large margins inside four days.
"It was a disappointing series (against Australia)," Azhar said Friday. "We are a pride cricketing nation and definitely our pride has been hurt with two innings defeat in Australia."
Pakistan arrived from Australia early Friday and has only four more days before it takes on Sri Lanka in the first test in Rawalpindi.
It will be the first test in Pakistan in more than 10 years since the Sri Lanka cricket team bus came under a terrorist attack in Lahore. Eight people were killed during the ambush and several Sri Lankan players were also injured.
"It's a memorable occasion for all of us because all (Pakistan) players will be playing their first test match in Pakistan," said Azhar, who has played 75 test matches since making his debut in 2010 against Australia at Lord's.
Pakistan had to choose neutral venues to play its home matches. The bulk of the international matches were organized in the United Arab Emirates.
Sri Lanka has chosen a full strength side to play two test matches with allrounder Angelo Matthews and batsman Dinesh Chandimal among those who earlier refused to travel to Pakistan three months ago for a limited-overs series because of security concerns.
"Sri Lanka is bringing their full strength side and we have to play very good cricket to beat them," Azhar said. "We will try our best … whatever time we have in between, we freshen up our minds, look forward to play good cricket and get back on track, which is very important for us."
Azhar replaced Sarfaraz Ahmed as test captain before the series against Australia but the right-handed batsman had been going through a run of poor form for a year since making 134 against New Zealand in Abu Dhabi in December 2018.
He scored only 59 runs in three test matches against South Africa this year and in four test innings against Australia he could make only 62 runs.
And Azhar knows very well that without scoring runs, it might get difficult for him to retain his place in the test team when Pakistan takes on Bangladesh in a two-test series in January.
"It's not that the ball is not coming onto my bat or when I am at the crease my footwork is not working," he said. "I know I need runs. Whether it's captain or any other player, nobody can play without giving performance. I realize I do have to score and I am working hard. I am feeling good in the nets, unfortunately runs are not coming, but I know when runs do come it will be in bulk."
Pakistan also struggled to get wickets against Australia in the absence of the retired Mohammad Amir and Wahab Riaz, who has sought an indefinite break from red ball cricket.
Although young fast bowlers Naseem Shah and Mohammad Musa made their debuts in Brisbane and Adelaide, respectively, they couldn't trouble Australia batsmen David Warner and Marnus Labuchagne, who both scored big in the series.
"Bowling attack was young and couldn't perform, but still the world is talking about them today. They have pace and with little bit more experience they will be a great future for Pakistan," Azhar said. "We couldn't take wickets with new ball. It's very important to take wickets with new ball in Australia and we also couldn't control the run-rate."
Pakistan will announce the test squad for the series against Sri Lanka on Saturday and Azhar said he had a lengthy discussion with chief selector Misbah-ul-Haq, who is also the team's head coach and batting coach.
"We have consulted about the team composition," Azhar said. "I can't disclose it, Misbah bhai (brother) will announce the team and give you reasons for selection (tomorrow). I can't tell you more than that."
In an age when a cricketer would be considered having consigned his career to flames for abjectly rejecting the entertainment element of the sport as it is being currently run, Virat Kohli has thrown caution to the wind, earning the plaudits of purists around the world.
One must doff one's hat to the Indian captain. Even if his behavior is not everyone's cup of tea, Kohli has repeatedly shown his heart is in the right place, particularly when it comes to Test cricket.
Not so long in the past, Kohli made the argument that Test cricket must be protected. He was an excited captain, right out of the gate, happy at the opportunity to lead India's Test team down under in 2014, when Mahendra Singh Dhoni suddenly decided to hang up his boots.
Ever since, Kohli's aura has been on the rise. Even his batting has blossomed under pressure, the responsibility sitting rather well with him. Having scored his twenty-seventh Test century, his twentieth as the Indian captain, in the first ever day and night Test cricket in India, although Sourav Ganguly emphasized that Kohli was quick to the idea of a day and night Test against Bangladesh in Kolkata, Kohli reiterated at the end of the match that day and night Test cricket must remain a one off novelty and not the norm.
Emphasizing that argument, Kohli took it a step further, asking for Test cricket not to be reduced to a scale to measure entertainment factor as is being done for Twenty20 and the formats it is springing up in its wake.
To use Kohli's own words, "You can bring excitement into Test cricket but you can't purely make Test cricket based on entertainment. The entertainment of Test cricket lies in a batsman trying to survive a session, a bowler trying to set up a batsman. If people don't want to respond to that, too bad. If I don't like Test cricket, you can't push me. Those who enjoy the battle between bat and ball and great session of Test cricket, in my opinion, those are the people that should come and watch Test cricket because they understand what is going on."
That is a bold and highly accurate statement if ever there was. For quite sometime now, there is the notion that the game can cater to different audiences and need not be a case of one formula fits all.
While Kohli is not wrong that only a nuanced cricket aficionado would find enjoyment and satisfaction in an absorbing day's cricket, not to be judged by the number of blistering runs scored but time bidden and fortunes changed as a result of it in a contrarian view to the modern game that judges everything by the bat, the fact remains that Test cricket has not been promoted in quite the same way as the other versions.
Test cricket can be exciting, if not more relishing, as a savoury dish spread as a five course meal. It has continued to inspire generations after generation of cricket lovers and cricket aspirants. Evidence of surveys have shown Test cricket still enjoys an avid sports following, ahead of the other formats, albeit across different platforms, particularly with ticket prices exorbitant and little done for fans. When larger-than-life players like Virat Kohli go to bat for it, perhaps it is time the game's so-called custodians and administrators to go back to the drawing board and realize that there were no missing elements in Test cricket in the first place. Just a change in perspective that could easily change the ball game once more.
It is an accepted fact that Indian fast bowling has never had it so good but actually on closer scrutiny it would appear that pace bowling the world over has never had it so good. And when Ian Bishop in a recent interview says that he is salivating about the fast bowlers now available in world cricket he is not far off the mark. The amiable fast bowler among the last in the assembly line of great pacemen from the Caribbean who is now one of the best commentators in the business is known for his vast knowledge and balanced views and when he says that he is this enthusiastic about the quality of fast bowlers in the game today there has to be more than a grain of truth.Indeed the question has to be asked whether the world of fast bowling has ever been better. In the past there were two or three countries with some great pacemen but other than that the cupboard was bare. So you had Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson for Australia and the deadly West Indian pace quartet and Imran Khan of Pakistan and Bob Willis for England around to make the best of batsmen hop around and duck and weave their way out of trouble in the seventies and early eighties.
These days you have fast bowlers from half a dozen countries plying their trade and making life hell for batsmen. The big difference in the scenario is basically India and South Africa. India were around at the time of the Lillees and the Thomsons but the strength was spin bowling and later the lion hearted Kapil Dev who ploughed a lonely furrow. South Africa were not even around at the time because of their excommunicaton from international cricket but since their return have produced the likes of Allan Donald, Shaun Pollock, Makhaya Ntini, Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel and the present lot of Vernon Philander, Lungi Ngidi and Kagiso Rabada doesn't compare unfavourably. Australia in the post Lillee - Thomson period have produced true greats in Craig McDermott, Glenn McGrath, Brett Lee and Mitchell Johnson and the tradition has continued with the present quartet of Mitchell Starc, James Pattinson, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood.
The English pace bowling tradition is in the capable hands of Jofra Archer while the fall in West Indian and Pakistan standards in the last decade has been more than made up by the sensational rise of India's strength in pace bowling. The quartet of Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah and Umesh Yadav constitutes arguably the most potent fast bowling attack in the contemporary game. New Zealand too has a pair of great bowlers in Tim Southee and Trent Boult. So viewed from any angle pace bowling the world over has never had it so good and that is why Test cricket is so exciting these days for there is nothing in the game like a group of fast bowlers hurtling bouncers and yorkers and sending stumps flying.
The Indian Premier League 2020 auction is set to be held on December 19 in Kolkata and the anticipation is growing louder with each passing day. A total of 73 players were released by the eight teams last month. Meanwhile, 971 players have put themselves in the auction pool with several high-profile stars keeping their base price higher. According to a report in ESPN Cricinfo, seven players have set their prices at Rs. 2 crore. Whereas, around nine players have kept their base prices at Rs 1.5 crore. Many others have Rs 1 crore base prices as well.
Here we look at five players with the top base prices who might get snubbed in IPL auction 2020.
Josh Hazlewood (2 crore)
The Australian pacer has been a revelation in Tests for Australia for a while now. He has gone on to become quite the force for the Aussies in the longest format. However, when it comes to limited-overs, Hazlewood has been kept out in order to protect him from injuries of late. Hazlewood hasn't featured in the IPL and doesn't possess much experience in the shortest format. Looking at this, he may get ignored. Last season, he had a base price of Rs 2 crore. But teams preferred to ignore him in the auction.
Angelo Mathews (2 crore)
The veteran Sri Lankan player last featured in the IPL back in 2017 for Delhi. He played just three games and was subsequently released. He was ignored last season after choosing to keep a high base price of Rs 2 crore. Given that he has chosen the same route for the 2020 auction, the chances of him being roped in appear to be slim. Teams won't prefer someone at his age anymore.
Dale Steyn (2 crore)
The South African has been bothered a lot by injuries of late and that might hinder his chance of earning an IPL contract. Steyn was chosen as a replacement bowler by RCB last term and he ended up playing two games before being injured. RCB released him last month and the Proteas man is now in the pool. However, given his repeated injury woes, teams will not be willing to take a huge risk.
Robin Uthappa (1.5 crore)
The KKR stalwart was a strong member of the side over the last few seasons. However, the eastern giants decided to release him after he hasn't quite made an impact of late. Uthappa has slowed down and that has affected his growth and impact. Given his age, teams might let him pass by and focus on something else for the price. His IPL journey could come to an end.
Shaun Marsh (1.5 crore)
The Australian is likely to get snubbed by IPL teams in the upcoming auction. He is someone who currently isn't a part of the Aussie set-up post the 2019 World Cup. He didn't find any takers in IPL 2018 and 2019 and there is little hope that franchises will opt for him this time as well. To have such a costly sum riding on him, Marsh will be ignored.

Path of ISEE-3
Communication with the ISEE-3 satellite was successfully re-established with the goal of commanding the satellite to change its trajectory with the goal of putting it into a libration point orbit that would allow it to resume its original mission goals of collecting data for solar physics research.
The trajectory change goal unfortunately could not be completed due to the failure of the onboard thrusters. This failure was apparently the result of the loss of nitrogen pressurant in the Hydrazine fuel system.
This inability to change the spacecraft's orbit rules out the original reboot mission goals which would have provided long-term data collection from the satellite instrumentation package using modest antennas. After the orbit change attempt, the ISEE-3 Reboot Team powered on the instrumentation package and began data collection from the instruments to assess their current physical status and usefulness for any ongoing scientific mission.
We are now redefining our mission goals to obtain the maximum scientific usefulness of ISEE-3 in its new interplanetary orbit. Figure 1 shows the flyby orbit and the long-term sun centered (heliocentric) orbit.

The level of the male hormone testosterone decreases in men once they become married, according to a study recently published in Psychoneuroendocrinology.
Testosterone is a male sex hormone and it serves a number of functions within the male body. Testosterone impacts on reproduction, muscle mass, bone structure and cognitive function. As well as these physiological roles, testosterone is also thought to influence, or be influenced by a man's social experience. Previously, research has shown that levels of testosterone differ between married and unmarried men. However, in these studies it was not clear whether men with naturally lower levels of testosterone are more likely to become married or whether becoming married actually suppresses the production of testosterone.
In order to determine whether marriage causes a drop in testosterone levels in men, a team of scientists from The University of Copenhagen, Denmark recruited 1,113 men between the age of 30 and 60 for analysis. Testosterone samples were taken from the blood at the beginning of the study and again after 10 years. The samples were then compared to see if any changes in testosterone level had occurred and whether these changes were dependent on the marital status of each individual.
The results showed that men who were unmarried prior to the study who became married during the 10 years between each sample was taken showed the largest drop in testosterone compared to other men. As well as this, men who went from married to unmarried over the 10-year period showed the smallest decline in testosterone.
One explanation for the increased decline in testosterone amongst married men comes from evidence suggesting that testosterone levels increase after a period of sexual abstinence, and scientists have argued that married men have more sexual intercourse than unmarried men. Furthermore, the first sample of testosterone taken could not predict whether the men would be married or unmarried after 10 years, which the researchers claim shows that marital status impacts on male testosterone levels and not vice versa.
The level of testosterone in men naturally declines with age, which is why both groups of men mentioned above showed a decline in testosterone over the 10-year period. But overall, the study provides strong evidence that testosterone trajectories can be influenced by the natural aging process as well as changes in marital status. Men who become married experience an accelerated decline in testosterone whereas men who become unmarried experience a slower decline.

I've had many special needs kids in regular classes, sometimes with an aide, and sometimes just dropped into the class. Most of them have been variously developmentally delayed, or ADD and ADHD, but also several autistic students, my dyspraxic student Miss E (who still reigns as my all-time favorite student), Downs students, developmentally delayed, and cerebral palsy. They've all been in the regular classes, however. This new venture is an all-special needs program.
Currently the class is something of a free-for-all. There is no structure; not necessarily a bad thing. The kids are having a lot of fun, but I think they're being sold a little short. There are only three who I think would really not be able to get anything out of a mainstream class. Being in this environment, however, is somewhat antithetical to structured learning.
The thing with special needs kids is, well, they're kids. They're individuals, and you need to reach every individual on his or her own terms. Some of the participants have really high barriers to really learning skating skills, starting with simply understanding that there's more to skating than gliding around.
But many many more of them are perfectly well capable of learning intermediate and advanced skills, with some extra understanding and outreach. And you reach them the way you reach any kid.
Just skate
I'm a big proponent of "just skating." It's the best way to bridge the gap from new to structured learning. With these kids, though, just skating is too much of a metaphor for what their lives might be--going around in circles and never getting anywhere.
One-on-one instruction
All of the participants in this class get a personal aid in the form of a youth volunteer. These girls (and one boy) are pretty gifted at this, and they're doing something challenging and even scary with a lot of compassion and joy. But they're focused on undirected playing. It's something to talk to the program designers about--what is the mission of this class? Is it essentially a safe public skate for these kids, or are they supposed to be learning skills, or is it a combination? It would be interesting to have a lesson plan for each child.
Game-based learning
Singing songs, imitation, challenges. Just as these work with mainstream kids, they can work and sometimes work even better with these kids.
Mainstream with aide
Many of the children in this class could thrive in mainstream classes, especially with an aide, which most municipalities will now provide for the asking if your child has a special needs diagnosis. And I think for many of these kids, the structure would be helpful.
Mainstream on your own
For the specific individuals in these classes, mainstreaming without an aide would be problematic. But several of them could get there, if they were learning, not just to have fun on the ice, but to take instruction, and to get joy from learning more advanced skills.
Do you know any special needs skaters? What method helped them?

Strategy To Be Successful In Business
Entrepreneurship is the most rewarding, as it's like raising a child, but without any prior experience and manual for it. you never know what tantrums it throws and how to react to it!! business is a new experience for all of us, and for a start-up, it's a lot more challenging.
Every person is different and so are their ideas! No 2 ideas will work same in 2 same scenarios, there are a lot of factors that change them. what is constantly being the hard work, your goal and plans and the strategy that you use to track the path?
The strategy is the way we plan to do something and the standards we set for the working. So, here are a few business strategies that will surely bring you success.
As they say, "a slave can be a king"! the experience while being a slave will enable a person to be a king, and the lessons that life brings will be worthwhile. So, never hesitate to be available for anything in your work line, jump into action whenever needed. Don't hesitate or stay back in doing small jobs, you can even do some cost-cutting there.
Customer first:
Your strategy should include mostly the customers, without them there is no business and there is no space for you!! so, put your customer in the first place and see what changes will bring in good and what's better. you need to offer discounts and rewards to keep them coming for more, in case you want referrals then you need to work on your quality. Just like how the cryptocurrency platforms offer various rewards and coins for the work you do; check out the Qprofit system review which will clarify all your doubts.
Stay positive in competition:
A healthy competition is necessary to keep you going for more. Competition though might not be good; a good caused competition is really great. You can grow and outgrow only when you are competing with somebody else. So, keep the clock ticking at you. keep the improvements option always open and constantly monitor the facilities and features.
Have a rough measure of success:
Success has a varied definition in every context. For a few, success means getting what they like, for others success is seeing their talent being exposed and valued, for others success is their sales of by-products or their work.
Have a passion for the things you do, measure every time you win, have the counts and tell yourself, about the right path that you might be on.

Nathan Drugs, also known as Nathan Pharmacy, is a drug store found in the town of Silent Hill, West Virginia, and makes an appearance in the film.
Nathan Drugs is located beneath the apartment of Dahlia and Alessa Gillespie. Rose Da Silva passes it three times in the film, twice after meeting Dahlia, which means her daughter Sharon may be inside the last two times. Several cultists, along with Christabella, deduce that Dahlia has helped Sharon to hide in their old apartment, and capture Sharon and Dahlia, before taking them to the church. They intend for Sharon to be burned alive as a witch and for Dahlia to "bear witness" to the execution.
- While there is no Nathan Drugs in the game series, there is a Nathan Avenue.

This is more of a photo post to share some of the cute items we have bought lately.
|We picked this cute little guy up from My Baby Warehouse.
|Candice found this beanie at some local markets.
|We have tried not to buy too much from Pumpkin Patch as I personally find the prices a little ridiculous considering babies outgrow clothes so quickly but these were half price so I felt justified.
|Neither of us really love the old fashioned look of bassinets but we want the baby in our room for the first few months so we decided on a Moses basket instead. We still need to either buy or make a stand for it.
|Brightly coloured soft toys for drooling on.
A few other big things we have gotten lately include the cot mattress and the baby car seat. The car seat was a gift from my mum and is one that converts from being a capsule style one to use from birth up to a normal car seat which can be used up to age 4. We even have a baby gate that Candice's mum bought us. She also bought one for her place as I imagine our baby will be spending lots of time visiting the grandparents. It's all feeling much more real having all these things in our house.
The other day Candice's Dad asked her mum how big the baby will be at Christmas and if it will be walking yet. A walking 2 month old would be quite amazing. It made us laugh 😀
Candice felt the baby move on Friday night! As I mentioned in a previous post, I have been feeling little tapping kicks for a couple of weeks now but didn't expect them to be felt from the outside so soon. I'll be 20 weeks on Tuesday – the half way mark!

Political Relations [fr]
French-Singaporean relations are excellent and dense in numerous fields. They are now maintained within the framework of a common declaration on strategic partnership, signed on 18 October 2012, during the official visit of the Prime Minister in Singapore.
The President of the Republic of Singapore, Mr Tony Tan, visited France from 17 to 23 May. This visit took place as France and Singapore celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of their diplomatic relations this year. France is one of the first thirteen countries which recognized the independence of Singapore in 1965.

The visit by the Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault on 18 - 19 October 2012 has strengthened bilateral relations to that of a strategic partnership. This agreement was signed in a meeting with Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.

Bilateral political relations have entered a new phase in 2008 with the official visit that Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong of Singapore made to France from 21 to 23 January 2008. It was Mr. Lee's second visit to France as prime minister and the first time that he met with President Nicolas Sarkozy.

Recent years have been marked by the working visit made by President Jacques Chirac to Singapore on 6 October 2004, prior to the ASEM V Summit in Hanoi and his official visit to China. On this occasion, the French President met Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong and Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew.
The latter had previously been received by President Chirac on 22 September 2004 in the framework of a dialogue that has long taken on a yearly rhythm. Mr Lee Hsien Loong, who visited France in January 2003 as vice-prime minister, returned there on 28 and 29 November 2005 as Prime Minister and was received by both President Chirac and Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin.

In October 2006, Mr Lee Kuan Yew, stayed one week in the French capital for a J.P. Morgan board meeting in Paris, and had a meeting at the Elysee Palace on 6 October with President Jacques Chirac.
On 27 June 2007, while on a private visit in Paris, Mr. LEE Kuan Yew, Minister Mentor of Singapore, met Mr. Nicolas SARKOZY, President of France, in a first meeting between Mr. Lee and the newly elected French President at the Elysee Palace.
In March 2007, Mr. Christian Poncelet, President of the French Senate, made an official visit to Singapore as the head of a delegation comprising three senators. They met with President S.R. Nathan of the Republic of Singapore, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Mr. Abdullah Tarmugi, Speaker of the Singapore Parliament.
At the ministerial level, bilateral visits have been regular :
Mr Bernard Kouchner and the Secretary of state for foreign affairs and human rights, Ms Rama Yade, made official visits to Singapore. In July 2008, Ms Rama Yade visited Singapore to represent the European Union at the 15th Meeting of the ASEAN Regional Forum.
In 2009, Mr Eric Woerth, Minister for the Budget and Public Accounts (10 - 11 July) and Ms Christine Lagarde, Minister for Economic Affairs, Finances and Industry, (12 - 13 November) visited Singapore. Ms Lagarde revisited the nation in February 2011.
Mr Luc Chatel, Minister for National Education, Youth and Community (January 2011) and Mr Thierry Mariani, Secretary of State for transport (February 2011) also made official visits to Singapore. Ms Anne-Marie Idrac, Secretary of state for Foreign Commerce came to Singapore in June 2010. Mr Lawrence Wong, Secretary of State for defence, was in France in June 2011.
Mr Gérard Longuet, Minister for Defence, and Mr Francis Delon, Secretary General for Defence and National Security visited Singapore in February 2012 for the Singapore Airshow 2012.
In June 2012, Mr Jean-Yves Le Drian, Minister for Defence, made a visit to Singapore, from 1st to 3rd June 2012, for the 11th session of the Shangri-La Dialogue.
In October 2012, Ms Nicole Bricq, Minister for Foreign Trade, and Ms Conway-Mouret, Minister for overseas French visited Singapore.
At the senior civil servants' level, these exchanges have been completed by numerous and regular contacts, notably those at the annual political consultations of the secretary-generals of the two Ministries of Foreign Affairs, of which the last session was held on 29 March 2011 in Paris.
France and Singapore signed a letter of intention on their joint coopération in Southeast Asia. This letter was signed on 16 March 2007 in Paris par Mr. Philippe Faure, Secretary General for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Mr. Peter Ho, Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Singapore.
The two countries cooperate in technical aid since 2001 to Southeast Asian nations and this letter of intention confirms their desire to maintain this stance. It defines the areas where our cooperation will be carried out and improves the level of training of public servants : governance, health and higher education.
This joint action illustrates the will of engagement of France in Southeast Asia, as demonstrated by the decision to adher to the ASEAN Friendship and Cooperation Treaty, of which the implementation process was set in place during the ASEAN summit in Cebu.

What's in a name? A lot, actually. For as long as there have been novels, there have been characters with wonderfully bizarre full names. Here, we've rounded up some of our favorite names in literature. Enjoy, but please don't inflict them on your children.
1. Middlesex
Chapter Eleven Stephanides
Guess what happens when he takes over the family business.
2. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Book 1)
Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore
It's a lot of syllables, but if anyone can pull it off, it's Dumbledore.
3. Infinite Jest
John "No Relation" Wayne
Admittedly, "No Relation" probably isn't the middle name John's parents gave him, but we're amused by it just the same.
4. Catch-22
Major Major Major Major
When Major Major Major was promoted to a Major in the army, things got complicated.
5. Crime and Punishment
Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov
A+ for alliteration. C- for pronounceability.
6. The Broom of the System
Stonecipher LaVache Beadsman
But to his friends, he's the Antichrist.
7. Pippi Longstocking
Pippilotta Delicatessa Windowshade Mackrelmint Ephraim's Daughter Longstocking
We particularly like "Windowshade."
8. To Kill a Mockingbird
Jeremy Atticus Finch
He goes by "Jem" but we'd kill for a middle name like Atticus.
9. The Catcher in the Rye
Holden Morrisey Caulfield
Morrisey, despite the differences in spelling, seems like an appropriately angsty (if before-its-time) name for this phony-hating protagonist.
10. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Oscar Zoroaster Phadrig Isaac Norman Henkle Emmanuel Ambroise Diggs
He goes by "The Wizard of Oz" for short.

- Pulse Polio Immunization Programme was launched on January 17th, 2015.
- Around 174 million children under five years across the country will be administered polio drops as part of the polio eradication campaign as a part of Immunization Day.
- Children of less than 5 years age will be given polio drops as part of the Government of India's drive to sustain polio eradication from the region.
Indian Scenario:-
1. India has been implementing the Pulse Polio Programme since 1995.
2. In India, the last case of wild polio was reported on January 13, 2011.
3. The South-East Asia region of WHO has been certified on March 27, 2014 as 'polio free', meaning that transmission of wild poliovirus has been interrupted in this block of 11 countries including India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Indonesia, Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Timor-Leste for the last three years.
4. India is mindful of the risks that persist, both on account of indigenous transmission and importation. The risk of importation of wild polio virus from these countries with persistent ongoing transmission still persists and therefore high level of immunity in the population needs to be maintained.
5. The Government of India, therefore, continues to vaccinate children with polio vaccine on the occasion of National Immunization Day (NID) and Sub-NID.
Pulse polio programme:-
- With the global initiative of eradication of polio in 1988 following World Health Assembly resolution in 1988, Pulse Polio Immunization programme was launched in India in 1995.
- Children in the age group of 0-5 years will be administered polio drops during National and Sub-national immunization rounds (in high risk areas) every year.
- The Pulse Polio Initiative was started with an objective of achieving hundred per cent coverage under Oral Polio Vaccine.
- It aimed to immunize children through improved social mobilization, plan mop-up operations in areas where poliovirus has almost disappeared and maintain high level of morale among the public.
- India's battle with this crippling disease began in 1978, when Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) was included in immunization schedule. To reach all eligible children in India, the vaccine was included in the nationwide Universal Immunization Program (UIP). By the year 1990, all districts in India were covered under UIP and that year >90% eligible children received OPV. The increased coverage led to a decline in number of polio cases.
World Health Organisation (WHO) had removed India from the list of polio-endemic countries. On 27 March 2014, World Health organization (WHO) declared India a polio free country with no case of disease being reported in last three years.

Since ExpressionEngine is built on top of regular PHP and the CodeIgnitor framework, we have 100% code access to run functionality at three levels — PHP, CodeIgnitor or inside ExpressionEngine itself. The addition of CodeIgnitor also means an even bigger community of developers and a larger feature set. Building in ExpressionEngine is more efficient than ever due to the vast and growing number of reusable PHP components.
If you need something powerful to run your unique business requirements, GRAYBOX can help. ExpressionEngine is a fantastic choice – it's stable, secure and robust.

Standard HTML templates can be extended to benefit from ExpressionEngine functionality. Empower designers; eliminate system conflicts.
- Built From Scratch
First we ask how you want it to work, then we design a system that matches your workflow. Complex permissions can be set to restrict user access.

The Dream House
Rachel HoreEveryone has a dream of their perfect house - in the heart of the countryside, or perhaps a stately residence in the middle of a wonderful city? For Kate Hutchinson, the move to Suffolk from the tiny, noisy London terrace she shares with her husband Simon and their two young children was almost enough to make her dreams come true. Space, peace, a measured, rural pace of life have a far greater pull for Kate than the constantly overflowing in-tray on her desk at work. Moving in with her mother-in-law must surely be only a temporary measure before the estate agent's details of the perfect house fall through the letterbox. But when Kate, out walking one evening, stumbles upon the house of her dreams, a beautiful place, full of memories, it is tantalizingly out of her reach. Its owner is the frail elderly Agnes, whose story - as it unravels - echoes so much of Kate's own. And Kate comes to realize how uncertain and unsettling even a life built on dreams can be - wherever you are, at whatever time you are living and whoever you are with.
