In the world of entertainment, it is often hard to tell what is real and what is fake. Celebrities, for the most part, have the spotlight on them at nearly all times. They have to look appealing when they are engaged in whatever their profession happens to be. They are tended to by make-up artists and beauticians before they display their talents for all to see. Some celebrities have many other enhancements and have even insured such things as their body parts. Their image from head to toe is only a part of them that makes them so noticeable, but what are people actually viewing, something real or unreal?
We have heard many people gossip about what is real and unreal about a person, and this gossip is especially widespread amongst the entertainment field. One thing that people are concerned about is their hair. Some people have easily manageable hair, and others have bad hair days all of the time. When we look at these celebs hairstyles, it may be hard to tell if that celeb is sporting their real hair or wearing a wig to cover up what may be a disaster. Who are these celebs who rock their natural hair, and which ones are wearing wigs?
19 Real: Amandla Stenberg
Amandla Stenberg has worn various types of hairstyles over the past few years. Sometimes Amandla wears her hair in rainbow braids and other times she has been seen with her natural hair in the style of an afro.
Amandla did have to learn to love her natural hair, though.
According to Hellogiggles, she stated "I've gone through so many different hair stages. My first stage was when I was younger, and I thought my hair was too big, so I always kept it in this giant poof on top of my head. I wasn't that great at doing ponytails, and so it was always really messy."
18 Wig: Katy Perry
The purpose of a wig is to create a realistic look, and singer Katy Perry has been able to pull that off. Her talents do not just include singing- she has a gift for being creative in other areas too.
Perry's hairstylist Shon Hyungsun Ju revealed how he is challenged by Perry to get the perfect look.
According to Refinery29 he said natural looks are tough to achieve. Her hairstylist, Shon Hyungsun Ju told Refinery29, "Katy is a client that constantly challenges me creatively. Her wigs are always unique, but need to look as realistic as possible- there's no retouching on the red carpet."
17 Real: Serena Williams
The tennis court is not the place for wearing wigs. The sight of a flying wig during the height of competition would be embarrassing for an athlete's image. Tennis phenomenon Serena Williams has been spotted wearing different hairstyles on and off the tennis court.
She usually keeps her hair in a ponytail style while sweating it out on the tennis court. She always sports her natural hair and has styled her hair in ponytails and various braided patterns. Her noticeably long natural hair could not be ignored at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal wedding which occurred this past May.
16 Wig: Sia
It is common for celebs to conceal their identity while being in public.
Being in the spotlight all of the time can be a hassle, and singer Sia has her reasons for donning her wigs, some of which cover almost all of her face.
According to Glamour, she explained to Ellen Degeneres, "Well it's just so that I can go to Target and buy a hose if I want to, or if I find I'm in need of a restroom, I can go in the side of the road and no one would be following me with a camera trying to get a shot."
15 Real: Zendaya
Singer and actress Zendaya has seen the light and has chosen to wear her hair naturally.
The former Disney teen star knows about the negative results that come about after long periods of intensely styling hair.
She is happy about her hair being in its natural state and she let the world know about these types of potential hair damaging procedures via Instagram. According to her Instagram post, she stated: "When you've spent the past however many years growing your damaged hair back, avoiding heat, wearing wigs and trying every natural product in the world and you finally see a little curl pattern comin back... #yeslawwwwd."
14 Wig: Angelina Jolie
Many people may think that the glamorous Angelina Jolie does not cover her natural hair with a wig. But there has been a surge of celebs that are wearing wigs and it has been going on for quite some time. Why wouldn't Angelina try the trend?
Since Jolie's appearance has changed over the span of her career, many women have tried to emulate her look. There are actual wigs that are modeled after her hair due to the beauty icon she has become. But she's also been spotted on the red carpet visibly donning wigs, while other times it looks like she's wearing her natural hair.
13 Real: Beyoncé
Looks may be deceiving when it comes to Beyoncé's hair. Some believe she wears her hair naturally, and others say she either wears extensions or wigs. She has been known to straighten her hair and has done so for many years. She's also worn a variety of hairstyles over the years which leads some to believe that Beyoncé does not wear her hair naturally.
According to BET, Beyoncé's hairstylist Neal Farinah attempted to put skeptics to shame by posting an image of Beyoncé on his Instagram page with the caption "LOVE MY JOB. THIS IS HOW U SLAY YOUR NATURALLY CURLY HAIR."
12 Wig: Chrissy Teigen
Celebs wonder about the big fuss over natural and fake hair. There are celebs that say it does not matter what a person wears on their head.
But Chrissy Teigen has to have the perfect look as a model and alterations to her appearance are common.
Still, she has been vocal about people who wear their natural hair and questions why women feel the need to cover theirs up. According to the Huffington Post, Teigen says: "I don't know why people want to pretend that they have this natural, full hair. I've just never cared about it for some reason… it's just so silly to me."
11 Real: Solange Knowles
Solange Knowles is the talented sister of singing sensation Beyoncé who has had some trouble not wearing her hair naturally. She has had some bad experiences in the past when she did not wear her hair naturally.
But she refused to let her hair take control of her and switched to her current natural look.
According to Essence, Solange stated: "[Before going natural], I was working out, swimming and going on vacations with my son, and I always felt as if my hair held me back. Cutting it off was a pivotal moment. I enjoy not having to worry about it."
10 Wig: Nicki Minaj
Celebs are defined by their particular style and appearance, and Nicki Minaj is known to have an endless supply of wigs. Every time you look up she is sporting some type of colored wig. Who can possibly keep up with all of her wigs that have defined her over the years?
Terrence Davidson is the lucky person who makes wigs for Nicki Minaj. It makes you wonder just how many wigs Nicki Minaj actually has. According to Allure, Davidson says "Each wig is on a shelf; it's like a library." He goes on to say, "She's going to have to start paying rent!"
9 Real: Viola Davis
Sometimes it is necessary to wear a wig, as was the case for actress Viola Davis. She wears her natural hair because of problems that she had with alopecia. She feels fortunate to wear her hair naturally because of the malady she had when she was younger.
According to Blackdoctor, she explained her situation about having to wear wigs at one time: I woke up one day and it looked like I had a Mohawk. Big splash of bald on the top of my head". She also said "I was like, What is this? Until I found out it was stress related. That's how I internalized it. I don't do that anymore."
8 Wig: Kim Kardashian West
Kim Kardashian West loves to experiment with her looks. So it's convenient that she has her wigs designed by well-known wig aficionado Tokyo Stylez. Stylez also designs wigs for those who are associated with the Kardashians as well. Kim happened to convince people that her hair was real at Kanye West's fashion show in 2016, but she later confessed that she was actually wearing a platinum blonde wig.
According to Daily Mail, she exclaimed: "I brought the platinum back!" in a tweet. "I looooveeee being a blonde, and this time I can change it up if I want, because—thanks to Tokyo Stylez —it's just a wig!"
7 Real: Kerry Washington
Actress Kerry Washington is known for her curly hairstyle that she rocks frequently. The "Scandal" star wears her hair straight on the show because the entertainment industry requires her to do so.
She has said her hair requires constant attention while on the set of "Scandal."
According to People, Kerry said, "There's someone who follows me around all day long on the set. Like, literally follows me to make sure there's not a single hair out of place. This is somebody's full-time job." Apparently, Kerry's hair commands quite a bit of star power! Of course, the glam is probably worth the effort for producers.
6 Wig: Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga is known for her ostentatious appearance while either on stage or in public. There is more to her than what everyone sees on stage and in public. Lady Gaga's road to fame has not always been the happiest road.
She has gone on record to say that her persona is an escape for her, and for her, the escape is her appearance which includes wearing wigs. According to Grazia, she said that she has experienced "some really tough times." She also goes on to say that "When I didn't feel strong enough to be me, I created someone else. And it worked."
5 Real: Alicia Keys
Alicia Keys has gone through many changes with her hair and also her image. She decided to break away from the opinionated norms of what people think women should look like and decided not to wear makeup anymore.
It would only be natural for her to not put anything on her hair like a wig or extensions.
She has decided to be free with her beauty, and according to 9style she stated, "I don't want to cover up anymore. Not my face, not my mind, not my soul, not my thoughts, not my dreams, not my struggles, not my emotional growth. Nothing."
4 Wig: Cardi B
Cardi B has been making waves in the music scene since she rocked up on it with her mega-hit "Bodak Yellow" in 2017. Her quirkiness and utter realness has helped her to quickly amass a following of fans who live for her attitude and Insta stories.
To add to her larger than life personality, Cardi B has the over-the-top wardrobe, wigs, and nails to back it up. She's always switching up her look, but is always the same Cardi B we can't get enough of. It's safe to say that she lives by the bigger the better philosophy and we can't complain as she wears it well!
3 Real: Janelle Monáe
Janelle Monáe brings to mind images of her unique up-do. She has worn other hairstyles but her up-do is her most noticeable style. She can be seen on Instagram with her various hairstyles which garner tons of comments.
She has grown to appreciate her hair, though.
According to Essence; "I haven't always paid much attention to my hair, but as I grew older I found the beauty in it. I've been natural for many years now. I'm an ideas type of girl, and being natural allows me to have more versatility with natural hair. Hair is about options and showing diversity."
2 Wig: Kylie Jenner
Kylie Jenner has been able to switch things up with her various hairstyles and has inspired several trends. She has worn her hair in cornrows and bobs, but she has also added various colors to her hairstyles as well.
Kylie happened to get the inspiration for her hairstyles from none other than Tokyo Stylez. He has a list of A-list celebs that he designs wigs for and Kylie gets her wig ideas from him. According to Allure, Stylez revealed: "Kylie reached out to me because she'd seen my work on Instagram, and she started to send me pictures of looks that she wanted to re-create."
1 Real: Leona Lewis
Vocalist Leona Lewis has a reason for wearing her hair naturally. Leona wears her hair because of a health scare. She made a drastic change in her life after finding out that she was diagnosed with a thyroid condition known as Hashimoto disease.
According to Essence, she stated, " I just got to a point where I wanted to start over physically and emotionally. I started eating better and I stopped straightening my hair." She went on to say, "From there I began to shift my entire beauty routine. Having an autoimmune disease really made me take a long, hard look at how I can reduce the toxins I come into contact with daily. "

"Extraordinary documentary ... The movie's one reënactment — an ingenious experiment in forensics and social science — unites drama, journalism, and first-hand experience in a masterstroke of pure cinema." — Richard Brody, The New Yorker
"A powerful movie, but perhaps its greatest triumph is that for a brief time it resurrects Kitty Genovese and lets us see her as a person." — Matt Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert.com
"The movie is as gripping as true-crime procedurals 'Serial' and 'Making a Murderer,' but with more intimacy and heartache." — Stephanie Merry, Washington Post
You may think that you know the story, until this powerful, multilayered documentary reveals the stories behind the story. The original story is the emblematic 1964 incident, invoked in countless political speeches and TV shows, in which 28-year-old Kitty Genovese was stabbed to death outside a Queens, NY, apartment building while 38 witnesses sat by and did nothing. There is also the story of more recent revelations that the original incident was distorted and oversimplified by The New York Times in the interests of constructing a sensational symbol of urban apathy. And there is also the story of Kitty herself, whose life was overshadowed by her death and the purposes it served. And, most central to this film, there is the story of her brother Bill Genovese, one of the most memorable characters to appear on screen in recent years, whose life was profoundly affected by his sister's death (and the myths surrounding it) and whose obsessive quest for the truth knits together the film's various layers — detective story, media exposé, memoir — into a compelling narrative of personal catharsis.

Career lost, family almost left me, but i'm still here
I worked for the state of Mississippi for almost 13 years. When my dad died, I lost it. I had told him I would mow his lawn that hot August day in 2007, but i didn't make it. He did it himself and had a heart attack....the mail man found him dead among the rose bushes.
I carried that guilt a long time. I hid it behind vodka, xanax, oxycontin, hydrocodone, and finally heroin.
I am a father of 3 loveley children and am married to a long-suffering wife. I fell to the point of using my kids to cover for me when I'd go on drug runs.
I lost my job, I spent my father's life insurance money, my entire retirement fund, my family almost left me, and I tried to kill myself, but the gun clicked instead of firing.
In November 2009 i went into treatment. Since then, I am drug free and in recovery.
It's all about WANTING to stop. I don't care what anyone says - if you WANT to stop enough, you will take the drastic steps in life to shield yourself from ANYONE or ANYTHING that could harm you.
This Story of Hope was created in celebration of recovery and to let families know that there are pathways to hope and healing. The Partnership for Drug-Free Kids is the only nonprofit organization dedicated to helping families who are struggling with their son or daughter's substance use. Please consider sharing this page so that families know where to turn to for help, and that there is always hope.

And this is my blog, I can do what I want with it. Ha!
It's been a great year so far. Not only did I start publishing my own work, but I managed to get a few decent works out. What I got accomplished this year:
- In April, after pushing back the release date for beta reading and editing, I finally published Gods on the Mountain, my first fantasy work featuring the characters Edmund the Enchanter and Diane the Dagger Maiden.
- In June, I published Raw Head, a novelette that was my first entry into the horror genre.
- In September, I published Daddy's Girl, a horror novella about a girl in college protected by the spirit of her deceased father.
- In October, I published The House That Homed, a comedy-horror novelette about a bunch of teenagers and addicts going into a haunted house.
Here are my goals for 2016 thus far:
- I intend to edit and publish my current horror work-in-progress, which most of my Twitter followers know is currently named Deadly Whispers (though this might change). It's already written, I just need to review it, get it edited and beta read, and then it should be good to go. I hope to do that within the next few months.
- I intend to finish and then publish the sequel to Gods on the Mountain, whose title will be released in the near future. I've written maybe 20% of it so far, and I hope to finish it, get it edited and beta read, then finally published by the middle-to-late of 2016.
Of course, those are my two main goals. There are other projects I have on the side, or that I'm working on when I'm in the mood. However, I do want to focus on getting those two accomplished.
In the meantime, I'd like to thank all my blog readers, as well as those who read my work!

ERA Policy and Technical participated in the 74th Joint User Requirements Group Meeting hosted by Airbus at their facility in Toulouse on 11–12 June. The meeting, at which ERA is an observer, provides an invaluable platform for discussion concerning the Communication, Navigation and Surveillance landscape across Europe and affecting airspace bordering the EU such as North Atlantic.
The meeting was attended by a number of IATA airline representatives including British Airways, Ryanair, TAP Portugal, SAS, Air France, Lufthansa, Delta and United Airlines and gave excellent insight from the perspective of regional operators to hear about the issues affecting legacy carriers, which it became clear, are not dissimilar to our own.
An impassioned discussion concerning the implementation of ADS-B Out and the impending 7 June 2020 European mandate started the meeting; many European legacy operators have aircraft which are planned for withdrawal from service shortly after the mandate, either to be retired, sold outside of the EU or returned to lessors and would never provide a return on investment. Others operate types which are either disproportionately costly or architecturally difficult to retrofit (early Airbus 320s were cited as examples of such types). Clearly, this is precisely the issue facing a number of ERA member airlines and the European Commission has been approached with a request for an exemption policy to accommodate these types for at least a limited period.
The SESAR Deployment Manager, tasked by the Commission to develop an implementation plan for ADS-B delivered a presentation similar to one provided to ERA members during a specially convened meeting in early May. This showed that approximately 74 per cent of European operators expect to be compliant by June 2020 (in fact 74 per cent of those who responded to the SDM survey). This demonstrates that despite the absence of a credible business case for European operators flying in continental European airspace, there is clearly a willingness to comply with the mandate and although a plea to the Commission has been made on numerous occasions by a number of different airspace user organisations as well as airlines themselves, the Commission will not commit to establishing an exemption framework or amendment to the regulation. The question has now been asked, what will happen to aircraft that are not equipped by the deadline?
A Datalink services presentation was provided and it has become evident that although improvements in provider abort rates have been measured over the past two years since a multi-frequency environment was created, this rate is increasing again largely due to significant increases in AOC traffic. Another issue affecting ERA members is the recent Eurocontrol blacklisting of two types of VDLM2 equipment which is fitted to a number of regional airliners and business aviation types. This presents a problem for those who have retrofitted, in good faith, with these types of Datalink avionics as although they were compliant, as the equipment is unusable whilst blacklisted, the question arises as to whether these previously compliant aircraft are still so. On a more positive note, EASA advised that the draft Datalink exemption list that has been in circulation for some time is anticipated to be approved by the Commission and is currently passing through the EC Legal Services unit.
NATS UK provided an excellent overview of UK airspace modernisation – infrastructure that has gone largely unchanged for over 50 years. There are a number of changes planned which have the capacity to bring many benefits to the commercial airspace user community, although some depend on the success of related or associated SESAR projects which are currently being implemented across Europe. Datalink is also a key enabler for this modernisation programme however NATS, as a member of the Aireon – NAV Canada Consortium is looking toward a space-based solution for datalink communications, a similar approach to ADS-B might bring benefits to airlines sooner and strengthen business cases through rationalisation of ground-based surveillance infrastructure.
ERA is working closely with all relevant stakeholders in all the areas described above and will engage with affected members when more information is available.

Analogously, a society's institutional order may be much improved by reflecting on it as a whole. This enables mutual adjustment of the domains and functions of social institutions toward an optimal total arrangement. Institutional moral analysis thus has important advantages in dealing with complex social systems. It enables a plausible assignment of responsibility for social problems such as poverty and unemployment. It indicates how such problems can be effectively solved. In addition, institutional moral analysis holds out the prospect of citizens upholding a just institutional order that relieves them from having to worry about these social problems in their ordinary conduct.
One of her portraits of her husband appears on the cover of The Cambridge Companion to Rawls. Rawls himself continued to devote most of his time to his intellectual work, which he did mostly at home. He also continued to take an interest in the artistic work of his wife and enjoyed various sailing trips along the Maine coast. He tried to keep himself in good health by maintaining a strict dietary regimen and regular exercise. In 1983, he had to discontinue his hour-long jogs, however, because he had damaged a tendon while jumping rope.
Paul Grice, and R. M. Hare—was then in an especially creative phase. On Urmson's advice, Rawls applied for a Fulbright fellowship and spent the 1952–53 year in Oxford as a member of the high table of Urmson's college, Christ Church. The year in Oxford was the philosophically most important for Rawls since 1941–42 (his first year as a philosophy student, under the influence of Malcolm). Through Urmson, he got to know Oxford's most important philosophers. He attended a lecture course by H. L. A. Hart, who, freshly promoted to a professorship, was expounding some of the ideas he would later publish in The Concept of Law.

Flattened Inflation-Output Tradeoff and Enhanced Anti-Inflation Policy as an Equilibrium Outcome of Globalization
HKIMR Working Paper No. 23/2007
26 Pages Posted: 12 Feb 2008
Date Written: December 1, 2007
The paper provides a unified analysis of globalization effects on the inflation-output tradeoff and monetary policy, in the New-Keynesian framework. The main proposition of the paper is threefold. First, labor, goods, and capital mobility tend to flatten the tradeoff between inflation and activity. Second, these globalization forces lead monetary policy to be more aggressive with regard to inflation fluctuations but, at the same time, more benign with respect to the output-gap fluctuations, when policy makers are guided by the welfare criterion of the representative household. Third, the equilibrium response of inflation to supply and demand shocks is more moderate, and the equilibrium response of the output gap to these shocks is more pronounced, when the economy opens up.

All saddles have them and a rider can sort of get along with whatever happens to be there but if the saddle is your own, prudent and thoughtful decisions should be made about the choice of the stirrup you use.
Here are some questions that help you arrive at your proper response:
1. Do I like a heavy or light weight stirrup?
2. Do I want a stirrup that grabs my foot or allows my foot to slip out eaisly?
3. Do I want a feel more comfortable with a narrow foot rest or a wider one?
4. Do I want a deep stirrup or a more shallow one?
5. Do I want my stirrup to have a bit of phazazzzzzzz, or will a plain one serve my purpose?

Below are some of the stirrups we carry. You can add them to your purchase of a custom built Jerry Shaw saddle or purchase them for the saddle you presently have. (As we upload all our stirrup options you will be able to click on any photo and see more photos of the stirrup and read more information about it)

Boipeba, situated in the south of Bahia, is considered one of the best islands in Brazil.
It is known for its gorgeous beaches with warm water and endless coconut trees. It is the perfect place for someone who is looking to relax and unwind in the middle of luscious natural surroundings.
The island also has a very simple and charming village with colorful houses and cobblestone streets with a very simple infrastructure.
I visited Boipeba in February of 2016, and here is a list of different kinds of restaurants and hotels in Boipeba to please every pocket.
Hotels in Boipeba
This is a list of six hotels in Boipeba, starting with the simplest and cheapest to the most expensive:
Pedra Coral: situated very close to the main square, this budget hotel is perfect for someone who wants to stay in the city center to enjoy its facilities (restaurants, supermarkets…) and save money.
All the rooms have AC, minibar and hot water.
Prices range:
∗ Double room: R$120 (US$ 30) during the low season; and R$150 (U$$37.50) during the high season (from March to November).
∗ Triple rooms: R$150 (US$ 37.50) in the low season; R$180 (US$ 45) in the high season.
Breakfast included.
Caminho de Pedras: located also close to the main square and two minutes from the beach, this property has really good cost/benefit and nice rooms with AC, TV, minibar, hot water and blow dryer. It also has a good breakfast with typical Bahian food included on the room rate, that is served in a really nice area.
Prices range:
∗ Double room: R$150 (US$ 37.50) low season, and R$180 (US$45) high season.
∗ Triple room: R$180 (US$ 45) low season and R$220 (US$ 55) high season.
There are bigger rooms available.
Villa da Barca: located on Boca da Barra beach. This beachfront hotel is perfect for those who are looking for staying away of, but also close to, the city center. It has a very nice front yard with beach chairs, umbrellas and hammocks.
My only concern about this hotel is mosquitoes; there is a big wet green area surrounding it.
Prices range:
∗ Double room: with fan R$180 (US$45); and AC R$ 195 (US$48).
∗ Bungalow: R$250 (US62.50)
Breakfast is not included and costs R$30 (US$ 7) /per person.
Vila da Barra: located on the shopping mall at Boca da Barra beach, this hotel offers fine accommodation with reasonable prices. The apartments are very cozy, and come with living room with couch, table, LED TV, fan and AC; completed kitchen, and bedroom with wardrobe, AC and bathroom.
The backyard of this property is just gorgeous!!
Prices start at: R$290 (US$ 72.50) until June of 2016, after that R$315 (US$ 79).
O Céu de Boipeba: on the top of a hill, this hotel provides one of the best views of Boipeba, where you have a 360 degrees of the whole island and can see the ocean, rivers and the exuberant vegetation.
The apartments have fine amenities made with wood and glass, terrace, and some of then even have a bathtub.
Price range from: R$325 (US$ 81) and R$ 425 (US$ 106).
Breakfast included.
Pousada Mangabeiras: one the finest hotels in Boipeba, also located on the top of a hill and providing stunning vistas, this is one of the few properties with a pool on the island.
The hotel is in the middle of the jungle and it is perfect for someone who is looking for tranquility and luxury accommodation.
Bungalows come with, minibar, safe, LCD TV, DVD, AC, SKY HD, terrace with hammock and king size bed. And the master bungalow comes with a bathtub.
Prices start at: R$ 465 (US$ 116).
Boipeba has an exquisite cuisine rich in seafood, palm oil and coconut milk. The main dish, and the must-try, is moqueca de peixe (fish stew).
Some of the good restaurants are located in the village, however some of the best ones are on the beaches.
Jorge Som: located in the main square. This very simple restaurant has outside tables and serves a very good moqueca with affordable prices, R$ 60 (US$ 15); served for two.
If you are on a budget, order a PF (beans, rice, salad, and meat or chicken); R$ 20 (US$ 5).
Panela de barro: homemade Bahian food restaurant with reasonable prices, also located in the village.
Cantina Varanda: in case you are tired of Bahian food, this Italian restaurant has a nice atmosphere with outside tables on the main square.
Pimenta Arriba Saia: Dona Anália runs the most famous restaurant in the village and serves exotic and delicious Bahian food.
The lobster and Moqueca de Camarão with banana (shrimp stew with banana) are among their signature dishes.
Paraíso: this restaurant is located in Moreré Beach and is among the best restaurants on the island, it has one of the best cost/benefit, and has served celebrities such as the owner of the French newspaper Le Monde.
Restaurante do Guido: located in Cueira Beach is considered the best restaurant in Boipeba and also is one of the most expensive.
It is known for its' lobster.

I read The Governess Affair by Courtney Milan because it was free, and all of you wonderful crazies are in love with it and with her in general, and also because it's super short and let's be honest about my cannonballing skills here–if I make it, it will be by the skin of my teeth, and because of novellas like this.
I picked up Be My Love by Lucy Kevin because it was free, and it's set in the Pacific Northwest (where I used to live and where my HEART STILL WANDERS) (not really, my heart loves sunshine, so we're happy here, too), and I wanted to give the romance genre another try after experiencing Milan, the unanimous best of the romance writers, for comparison purposes.
There are similarities: in both, the Man is totally married to his job to the extent that, in both, part of the reason why IT CAN NEVER BE (this is a thing that happens in like 97% of romance novels, right? The Man and the Woman are totally hot for each other but there has to be a reason why IT CAN NEVER BE to create some lovely sexual tension, right?) is because he's just too much of a workaholic, and he loves her too much to have her be married to a workaholic, so that's that, because change and compromises don't exist. UNTIL THEY DO, and then they Man whole-heartedly quits the job that he secretly hated all along, freeing him up to marry the Woman and move to the beach with her.
Is not this the same lame trope applied to women in many romantic comedies? That the Woman is just too focused on her career to be in love, because she doesn't have time for that silliness, and we, the audience, are meant to believe that she just needs to let down her hair and relax a little and give love a chance? And she usually doesn't even like her job anyway? And we hate that trope, right?
I propose that this is a bullshit storyline for men or women. "Yeah, I had a bitchin' career I was super good at… but then I fell for a hottie, and you can't be in love and have a demanding job at the same time, so. Now I'm a painter or something."
Perhaps I am not romantic enough for romance novels. I did go in to work today, even though it was supposed to be my day off. Am I married to my job? Fuck, am I in a romantic comedy right now? That probably means I'm the Other Woman and my boyfriend is about to be stolen away/liberated by some adorable free spirit and they're going to move to the mountains and become apple farmers. Fuck fuck fuck.
Another similarity was that both stories had a bit of a darker side: one deals with the aftermath of a (off-page) rape, and the other explores the rippling effects of a (off-page) family suicide. I must say that Milan commits to exploring the feelings involved a lot more than Kevin does, though I felt that both of them employed a bit of vague, "It's okay because of reasons" hand-waving.
But apparently I'm not romantic enough for this shit, so maybe I'm prone to focus on the negative, which is clearly why I deserve to lose my boyfriend to a sprite-like nymph who never wears shoes.
Other similarity, and one that I may be reaching for because I'm a little sensitive to it right now, and I feel like I need to list three of these bastards to justify calling this a review: both books view marriage as some sort of solution to a problem. In Milan's case, the solution was arguably not ideal (which honestly seemed a little gimmicky to me, like, "FORCED INTO MARRYING this person that I am totally attracted to. And we really ought to bone also, FOR LEGAL REASONS, and not all because we're both super hot for each other." I'm sorry, Cannonballers. I know you hate me now), but in Kevin's, the marriage practically solved sixty years of community strife and everyone (EVERYONE) lived happily ever after, and it was a little bit ridiculous. The characters themselves called it a perfect ending to their story, never mind that they've only been hanging out for a few weeks and marriage is most definitely NOT the end of their story by any means.
My feelings on marriage are a bit cyclical, but somewhat on the "against" side–the warmest, fuzziest thoughts I have are that being married might be fine, but other times, especially when someone is pressing me on the issue, I feel like everyone is trying to force me into this weird social and religious construct that I don't really understand. I don't give a shit if other people do or don't get married, so why do people seem to give so many shits about me? It gives me stress nightmares, and I feel like that's very weird. "Getting married" dreams are stereotypically supposed to be a girl's favorite thing, right?
I don't know where that trait places me in a romance plot. Am I the damaged flower that needs to be coaxed into love? Am I the heartless shrew whom men escape from? I know this is no fun, but I take comfort in the fact that most romances are pretty *whispers* unrealistic. (But if I turn out to be the Other Woman over here, I'm going to be pissed.)
Important: the biggest difference between these books is that all the sex in Be My Love happens off-page. Make of that what you will. For my part, I was a little bored in that section of the story, and I was ready to "see" some dick, so I felt a little robbed, but the story picked up soon afterward, so it turned out fine.
Ultimately, I'm glad I read both these books. I mostly enjoyed both, even though I rolled my eyes more than a few times. IT CAN NEVER BE. Unless I solve a sort of minor problem. SOLVED. YAY, NOW IT CAN BE. But seriously. I had fun. And I'll read more. 🙂

We're winning….and it's just not fair!!!!!
Much has been written about the welcome (or lack thereof) that Bibi Netanyahu (elected Prime Minister of the State of Israel , CEO of Zionism and de facto leader of the Jewish world) received when he flew to France to show solidarity with a beleaguered Jewish community. Should he have gone? Should he have been at the front of the solidarity march? Should he have mentioned the "A" word?
I think there is no doubt that the French leadership would have preferred him to stay away. And equally no doubt that they were deeply troubled by his offering of an open-ended, no obligations, free-of-charge exit ticket to all and any Jews who felt that the time had come to say Au Revoir to La France.
So – what underlies this deep sensitivity on the part of the French establishment? Perhaps it is simply personal. They don't like Bibi. Perhaps it is political. The French have clearly aligned themselves with the PLO and in that sense any (un-choreographed) visit by an Israeli PM is unwelcome. Perhaps it is pride. We don't need a brash, over-bearing and over-confident Jew waltzing into Paris telling us how to look after our Jews.
Any of the above explanations are plausible. And doubtless they each play into a complex French mind-set that lost moral clarity a very long time ago.
My view, though, is that the key driver and explainer of the open contempt targeted at the elected Prime Minister of a democracy and apparent ally of France is pretty straightforward. In fact, it is a single word. Envy.
Envy? I hear you ask? What possible grounds could the French have to be envious of a place which their former ambassador to the UK once famously described as "that shitty little country Israel"?
Well – perhaps it's the fact that against all the odds – we have survived. Did the European powers ever really believe that the State of Israel in 1948 was viable and would survive an inevitable Arab onslaught? I doubt it. And yet – somehow – we did. But mere survival ought not to provoke envy. After all, we still live in a pretty inhospitable environment.
But, not only have we survived. We have grown and prospered. We have built a strong nation, a strong economy and a strong future. How many times have you heard visitors say – "wow, Tel Aviv is just so happening. So much energy, confidence, buzz…….". Whilst Europe lurches from economic crisis to crisis, Israel somehow keeps marching forward despite BDS and the other barriers to success we are required to overcome. This is all true. But even if we punch above our weight – and even if Europe is in downturn – we are still a small player on the world stage. And, let's be honest, Paris is pretty cool too (unless you want to wear a kippa). So – this can't fully explain the envy either.
But – trumping everything – is this. We are a tiny country surrounded by the most vile Islamic regimes in the world. We have a significant muslim minority. And – yet – we are not faced with the grim reality that Europe is waking up to. The reality is that Europe's collective failure to confront the Islamist threat to Europe's core values has created an unstoppable momentum that is transforming Europe – and has already rendered it impossible for European governments (including of course France) to even talk about the issue – other than to continue in their incessant apologising to so-called moderate muslims.
Bibi's appearance in Paris so upset the French because in calling for our French brothers and sisters to come home, Bibi was not just saying to them that France has let them down (which undoubtedly it has). Neither was he just saying that Israel is the only country which will welcome and protect all Jews, without condition (which undoubtedly it is).
Bibi was also saying that France has lost control. It cannot reverse the Islamist takeover and it cannot re-claim the French values that it has compromised by failing to take this issue seriously. By contrast, in Israel, we get it! Our core values are safe and, indeed, our society celebrates being more European than Europe!!! In that sense, it was not what Bibi said to the Jews of France that caused such hyper-sensitivity. It is rather what he was saying, by implication, to the non-Jews of France who see their country disappearing and feel powerless to stop it.
Do we here in Israel face challenges? – of course. Can we be complacent? Of course not. Do we have to work harder to integrate our non Jewish minorities? You bet we do.
But, at the start of another week, let's pause for a moment and celebrate the extraordinary turnaround in our fortunes. As Europe continues its slide towards a future that its politicians can't even talk about – Israeli civil society remains strong, confident and actually very aligned on core issues.
Bibi's presence in Paris last week and his address to the French community was a very public reminder to his French opposite number that – somehow – our "shitty little country" has not just survived but has caught up and now overtaken Europe.
Yes – we are winning – and it's just not fair!!!!!!

The running speed of railway group is high, which brings forward a series of problems on the braking ability and running smoothness of the train. (because the train braking energy and speed of the square is proportional, the speed of 200km above the railway group's braking energy is the ordinary train more than 4 times times.) Therefore, Railway Brake System the performance and composition of the railway braking system is completely different from the current passenger train in China.
The high-speed railway group must equip the braking system with high efficiency and safety, provide the means of speed regulation and parking brake for the normal operation of the train, and have the shortest braking distance as possible in case of accident or other necessary conditions. Generally speaking, Railway Brake System the braking system of the railway group should have the following characteristics:
First, high safety
The braking ability of the railway braking system is strong, the reaction speed is fast, and the safety is very high. The structure is embodied in the following two aspects:
(a) The use of electric and air joint braking mode, electric braking priority, and generally equipped with anti-skid device. The combination of electric braking and air braking can ensure that the train has sufficient braking force in the larger speed range, Railway Brake System and the installation of the Antiskid device can make the adhesion of the wheel and rail to be fully utilized, thus shortening the brake distance effectively. The electric braking is easy to control and can greatly reduce the abrasion of the parts of the air braking system.
(ii) control the use of electronic control, direct or microcomputer control electrical instructions such as sensitive and rapid system. Railway Brake System These devices make the braking system react more quickly and further shorten the braking distance.
II. Accurate control
The braking action adopts the microcomputer control, which can provide the necessary braking force precisely to ensure the train punctuality, and the model of the compound braking is designed rationally so that the braking force of different type can achieve the best combination effect.
Third, high degree of comfort
The braking effect of high speed railway group is much more than that of ordinary passenger trains, so it adopts corresponding measures to improve the longitudinal comfort of passengers, Railway Brake System and the average speed of braking, the maximum speed and the longitudinal impulse are higher than that of ordinary passenger trains. The measures taken include:
(a) The electric instruction braking system controlled by microcomputer can realize the optimal control of the braking process, and reduce the rate of change of the reduction speed while increasing the average reduction speed;
(b) Reducing the difference in vehicle braking power in trains to mitigate the longitudinal impact between vehicles.
(c) Anti-skid device can also avoid the lack of adhesion between wheel and rail to produce wheel tread abrasions, and then prevent the smooth running of the train deterioration, improve ride comfort, Railway Brake System and avoid the axle and other components to produce additional stress problems.
IV. High Reliability
(i) Use the "fault-oriented safety" mechanism (fail-safe) to move in a safe direction in the event of a failure of the braking system.
(i) Use the "fault-oriented safety" mechanism (fail-safe) to move in a safe direction in the event of a failure of the braking system.
Such as high-speed EMU is generally equipped with air braking, computer-controlled electro-pneumatic braking and computer network three kinds of braking control methods. Under the normal operation condition, the computer network control and transmit the braking information of the whole train vehicles. Railway Brake System When the control system fails, it can automatically switch to the electro-cavitation braking effect. In the case of electrical failure or electro-pneumatic braking failure, it can rely on pure air braking to ensure the braking distance under bad condition.
In addition, a large number of information input, digital operation and output instruction are needed in the braking control process of the high-speed EMU microcomputer control, Railway Brake System in order to prevent the fault, the corresponding reliability measures are also considered in the design of the instruction system.

We recently picked up a new "board game" by Rather Dashing Games. This game is a GREAT quality, with heavy duty pieces and box so it is bound to last with the many hands in our family. You build your board while you are playing gathering points and stealing points with your archaeologist and mummy. The artwork on the game is awesome (however hard for Larry to differentiate between some of the colors being that he is color blind.)
Our family loves playing odd and unusual games. This one included. It allowed the kids to keep their interest in this strategy game that will be different every time that you play it because the pieces change every play. It does take 30+ minutes and is for ages 10+.

Property tax going up 3.25 per cent in Saanich
Apr 19 2012
Saanich plans to continue a multi-year program to upgrade its infrastructure.Photograph by: ..., timescolonist.com
Saanich residents are facing a 3.25 per cent tax increase this year, as the municipality continues to chip away at replacing aging infrastructure.
Included in the increase is an additional 0.75 per cent taxation for infrastructure, something Saanich council has committed to for the past five years.
"It is a deliberate policy and commitment by Saanich council," said Mayor Frank Leonard. "We don't want to wait for Santa Claus, for some magical federal-provincial present to arrive under the tree and solve the infrastructure deficit. We're not relying on that to solve our problems."
That 0.75 per cent largely goes toward improvements people can't see and often take for granted until they don't work — drains, underground water and sewage pipes and pump stations. It will also be used for new sidewalks in areas that were built when subdivisions were constructed with driving, and not walking or cycling, in mind.
Staff had initially recommended a 3.6 per cent increase, but council asked for a reduction.
"Increased construction has led to increased assessments and that leads to more taxes," Leonard said. "In a strong economy, we may have used that for additional infrastructure spending, but the majority of council thought the taxpayers would be more receptive to a 3.25 per cent increase than 3.6 per cent."
The increase means homeowners will pay an additional $65.30 in municipal taxes for an average Saanich home assessed at $622,830.
The resulting $315,000 difference in city revenue will be made up by increased revenue from construction in the municipality.
For the third year, all municipal departments except police and fire were asked to reduce their budgets by one per cent.
"All of us who were elected were clear at all-candidates meetings that we were going to protect police and fire budgets and exercise restraint in all other departments," Leonard said.
That means that the police department will get a new $400,000 cellblock for women and youth, and new computers for police cars, but park grass might not be mowed as frequently.
Saanich has a $122-million annual general operating budget, funded largely by property taxes of $85 million and other revenues, including recreation program fees and garbage collection charges.
The budget includes numerous improvements to roads, including $1.6 million for bikeways and improvements in areas including Shelbourne Street and Hopesmore Drive in Gordon Head. Commonwealth Pool also needs a new skylight, after 20 years. That will cost almost $1 million. Seismic upgrading of the Rithet Reservoir has a $6.4-million budget.

16 Feb Karine Jansen
Hometown: Haarlem, the Netherlands
I started sailing when I was about 10 years old, I had saved all my pocket money to buy a little sailing dinghy. I went to different sailing clubs and schools and became a sailing instructor when I got older. At some point I went sailing almost every day after school and the weekends too off course. I did some local racing in my Laser radial, but sold it at some point so I could buy a ticket to Svalbard and sail back along the Norwegian coast to the Netherlands. After high school I took a gap year to work as a deckhand on a traditional Dutch flat bottom ship sailing with 30 passengers around Holland in the summer and sailing a classic wooden yacht in the winter. As I loved boats and sailing so much I decided to study Naval Architecture and did internships at offices designing (sailing) superyachts.
However an office job did not satisfy my sailing and traveling addiction enough, so now I am working as a quartermaster on board a full rigged ship, Stad Amsterdam, 6 months a year. The other half of the year I am either working as an officer on a sailing expedition vessel, going to colder areas like Antarctica or Svalbard, or I am just traveling.
My last travels brought me to New York to meet up with Lau, another Sapling. He is a good friend from the Stad Amsterdam and we decided to go skiing in Vermont. We took a trip there with friends from New York and they told us about Oakcliff. Lau got really excited right away so he went there to have a look, and it looked like a really cool place. Going out to sail a lot and learning how to race different kind of boats sounded pretty nice. Also to learn about the maintenance and doing a lot of exercise. So a couple of days later I went to see for myself and it does look really cool. Unfortunately I already had an appointment on the Anne Margaretha to sail to Svalbard, so I can only join the program in July. But I am very much looking forward to it!

North Carolina residents who have survived crashes with big rigs on the highway may be left with catastrophic injuries that forever alter their lives and the lives of their loved ones. Below are a few of the conditions they may be facing for which they might seek financial compensation.
-- Loss of a limb due to amputation. Horrific accidents can mangle bodies and cause either dismemberment right at the accident scene or necessitate a medical amputation later by a surgeon.
-- Nerve damage from neck or back injuries. When a human spine is compressed during a traumatic accident, people can wind up paralyzed. Still others are left with lifelong pain, tingling and numbness in the arms and legs that hamper mobility.
-- Loss of vision. Both head and eye injuries stemming from serious wrecks can cause blindness that may be temporary, partial or permanent.
All of the above conditions are devastating and reduce the quality of life for the victims. When the primary breadwinner of a family suffers catastrophic injuries in a collision caused by an 18-wheeler or other vehicle, the family can be left with no source of income along with a mountain of hospital bills and rehabilitation expenses.
Injured parties and their families do have some legal recourse afforded them by the North Carolina civil court system. The first step is to seek reparation from the insurance company of the driver responsible for the accident. Victims can be reimbursed for their pain, suffering and lost wages and have their medical expenses covered. Sometimes, even future medical expenses can be calculated and covered by an insurance company payout.
If, however, as is often the case, the insurance company balks at settling the claim for a reasonable amount or denies it entirely, it may be necessary to retain legal counsel and hash it out in court.

Jordan Lawrence-Gabriel
Nottingham Forest saw off competition from a number of Premier League clubs, including Chelsea, to sign talented young defender Jordan Gabriel from Southend United in February 2015.
Gabriel was a regular started for the Under 18s in the 2015-16 season and helped them to reach the fifth round of the FA Youth Cup before they were eventually beaten by Liverpool.
The right back's eye-catching performances led to him being handed a professional contract at The City Ground in January 2016 with academy manager Gary Brazil citing him as 'an exceptional talent'.
A fast and tricky full-back who is capable of beating his man, Gabriel was included on the first-team's pre-season trip to Portugal ahead of the 2016-17 season before a serious injury hampered his progress, but Gabriel returned and featured for the Under 23 side towards the tail end of the season.

Repertory Philippines Stages Rock Musical 'Hair' As Its Grand Finale to 2017
The first-ever rock musical to be shown on Broadway, Hair is Repertory Philippines' grand musical finale to its 2017 season. Set in the turbulent '60s, Claude, an Oklahoma farm boy, finds himself joining a tribe of Central Park hippies protesting over the Vietnam War. Fighting for love, peace, and liberty, Hair's "Aquarius," "Easy to be Heard," and "Let Sunshine In" later became anthems of the anti-Vietnam War movement.
"Once upon a lookin' for Donna time. There was a sixteen year old virgin." Join the tribe at REP's HAIR The Tribal...Posted by Repertory Philippines on Monday, October 23, 2017
Winner of the 1969 Grammy Award for Best Score from an Original Cast Show Album, Hair's return to Broadway in 2009 earned it a Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical. Akin to a mini-Woodstock, George Schulze, who plays the charismatic Berger in Rep's staging, quips: "What makes Hair different from other productions here is its boldness during these times. As artists we have always lived and breathed by the expression and truth of our freedom and Hair exemplifies that." A one-of-a-kind production with themes of prejudice, sexual revolution, self-discovery, and freedom of expression, it is as relevant today as it was when it first came out.
"How dare they try to end this beauty" Join the tribe at REP's HAIR The Tribal Love-Rock Musical opening this November...Posted by Repertory Philippines on Thursday, October 19, 2017
With book and lyrics by Gerome Ragni and James Rado, and music by Galt MacDermot, Hair will bring you back to the swinging '60s. Markki Stroem alternates with Topper Fabregas as Claude and Caisa Borromeo plays Sheila. Chris Millado directs with Ejay Yatco as musical director.

Barbados is probably the most popular holiday destination in this part of the world. This relatively small island is much more refined than people usually imagine.
This is a place where you can find many exclusive hotels, including some of most famous in the Caribbean. What is interesting about Barbados is that both travelers who like All Inclusive accommodation and those who prefer finding accommodation on their own will find this island ideal.
Every coast on Barbados is unique and comes with many interesting things that people can see and do there. For instance, the south coast is adjusted for the needs and requirements of the younger population. This is the place where you can have great fun 24/7 and you can also find affordable accommodation. Let's be clear, Barbados is not a cheap island, but you can definitely find accommodation that is worth the money. On the other hand, the west coast of this island is packed with sandy areas, amazing cliffs and some of the best restaurants and hotels in this region. There are many millionaires that have private properties here.
The island itself consists of limestone and covers an area of about 270 square kilometers (22 km wide and 34 km high). However, even though this is one of the smallest islands in the Caribbean, Barbados has long and rich history and magnificent culture. Needless to say, it possesses breathtaking natural beauties. The island is flat except for one higher place called Mount Hillaby.
One of the reasons why Barbados is so popular among tourists is the incredibly pleasant climate. The weather is mostly sunny and the temperature rarely goes below 75 F (24 C) degrees in winter and rarely goes higher than 86 F (30 C) degrees in summer. The only downside is the presence of hurricanes between June and December, but you can easily check whether some of these strong winds is expected soon.
The official language on this island is English, but we must say that people there have a strong Barbadian dialect, so even native English speakers from other countries may find it a little bit difficult to understand what the hosts are saying in some situations.
According to the latest statistics, this island has a population of about 280.000 people and the capital city Bridgetown is located in the southwestern part of the island. Bridgetown is ideal for shopping, sightseeing and taking tours to some old museums and churches. When it comes to safety, we must point out that Barbados has the lowest crime rate in the Caribbean. Of course, this doesn't mean that you should leave your valuable belongings anywhere you want unprotected. Just take the standard safety measures like the ones you are taking when you are at home.
The residents of Barbados are very friendly and love tourists. They are always prepared to help you and make you feel comfortable. You will notice that they are proud of their island and love to talk about heritage, culture and history.
If you are worried about drinking water, you should stop worrying because the water that comes from the central system us perfectly clean and filtered naturally through coral rocks. Remember to drink plenty of fluids throughout the day because due to the specific weather and climate it is not unusual to get dehydrated fast. In addition, you should also apply sunscreen and creams regularly because you can get sunburns even when there are clouds in the sky.
Those who have decided to spend their holiday on Barbados should know that swimming is safe on the south and west coast, but you must be more careful if you are planning to swim on the east coast because there are some unpredictable currents that come from the Atlantic Ocean. Only advanced swimmers should use this coast, but they too need to be careful. Surfing and other water sports are very popular on this island. The waves that appear in the south part of the island are excellent for both beginner and advanced surfers. Some of the best beaches for water sports are Long beach and Silver Sands Beach. There is also a good spot for advanced surfers on the east coast known as Bathsheba.
Barbados is a place with many amazing tropical parks and gardens that are worth visiting. Finally, this place has a strong art community that sells their work in different locations.
If you want to explore the island, you can use an organized tour or rent a car and make the exploration more adventurous. In any case, Barbados is definitely a place that each of us should visit.

eBay share price holds more or less steady on marginal earnings beat
After hours trading on Wednesday saw global Ecommerce auction site and marketplace eBay's share price decline by 5%. Then, over the last two days of the week, it pretty much recovered, as investors weighed up how they feel about the company's largely expected earnings report. Over the long term, however, their sentiment is easier to ascertain: eBay's share price is up by 26.74%, year to date.
eBay's share price fluctuated at the end of last month
SOURCE: Yahoo Finance
For its third quarter, eBay reported adjusted earnings of 48¢ per share (EPS) on revenues of $2.4 billion. This is a slight beat against analysts' expectations of 48¢ EPS on revenues of $2.37 billion. It's also a little better than the company did last year, when it reported an EPS of 45¢ on revenues of $2.2 billion.
eBay's forecasts are similarly aligned with the Street's expectations. It sees fourth quarter revenue of between $2.58 billion and $2.62 billion and an EPS of between 57¢ and 59¢ (analysts expect EPS of 60¢ on revenues of $2.58 billion). For the full year, eBay projects revenues of between $9.53 billion and $9.57 billion. Analysts expect $9.5 billion.
If all these numbers seem confusingly similar, the company's CEO and president, Devin Wenig, was, at least, refreshingly blunt in his estimation of how the company performed over the three months to September. On an earning call with analysts, he said:
"In Q3, we drove acceleration across all three of our platforms in the US and internationally, delivering strong top and bottom line financial results. Our rapid product innovation cycle continues and our customers are responding to the changes we're making. As one of the world's top e-commerce destinations, we delivered nearly $22 billion of volume this quarter and our growth was the fastest it's been in over three years."
