Welcome to the People's Republic of Larimer County Where They Are Still Stealing and Dealing…(My County)
By Dave Hodges
January 7th, 2018
Stacy Lynne is the face of the victimized citizens who have to live in Larimer County (Ft. Collins, CO). I dub the most corrupt county in America as the "People's Republic of Larimer County". Stacy had her son stolen by a New World Order Judge, Julie Kunce Fields, and her only crime was to stand up to the corrupt Agenda 21 forces in Larimer County. Her SUV was illegally bugged as was her cell phone by the Larimer County Sheriff. Stacy is still in fear for her life because in Larimer County, Hillary would be right at home as practicing witchcraft is a popular past-time.. Virginia Farver was faced with eviction from her Ft. Collins home because she tried to follow her staturory right to refuse a smart meter on her home. The authorities threatened to evict her in the middle of a Colorado winter. Welcome to the People's Republic of Larimer County where they are still stealing and dealing.

BOSTON, MASS. Mass Literacy, the nonprofit initiative of the Boston Herald that supports literacy in Massachusetts, has recently selected five Mass Literacy Champions award recipients. The awards identify, publicly recognize and support individuals who have made significant contributions in the field of literacy education.
The 2014 Mass Literacy Champions include Laurie Collins, published author and children's librarian at the Ipswich Public Library, Jean Ciborowski Fahey, PhD., published author and director of the South Shore Hospital Reading Program in Weymouth, Maureen Manning, Director of Family and Community Engagement in Wareham, Kimberly N. Parker, Ph.D., English Faculty, Cambridge, Rindge and Latin School, Cambridge, and Jan Plourde, M. Ed., Director of The REAL Program in Lynn and Director of Developmental Teaching, LLC in Beverly.
"We are thrilled to honor these five exceptional individuals with Mass Literacy Champions Awards," said Mass Literacy Director Julie DeFrancesco. "They have each demonstrated a deep commitment to literacy education and have achieved outstanding results in their communities. Through the opportunities made available to them by Mass Literacy and the Boston Herald, they will have the ability to share their best practices with all of Massachusetts."
The Mass Literacy Champions Awards Program was created in 2002 by Mass Literacy to honor education leaders who are committed to advancing literacy. Since the program's inception, 70 educators have received the award.Mass Literacy Champions represent every level and area of literacy as well as many different communities from around Massachusetts.
Each 2014 award recipient receives a $1000 grant to start a new literacy project, guidance to launch a crowdfunding campaign to raise additional funds, ongoing recognition in the Boston Herald and on MassLiteracy.org, a video highlighting their work and the opportunity to serve as an ambassador to Mass Literacy for one year.
The new Mass Literacy Champions are already planning their literacy projects. Laurie Collins will be hosting a book-themed scavenger hunt for children at the Topsfield Fair this October that ties literature into agricultural exhibits. "With Mass Literacy I hope to find a bigger platform to share these ideas of public literacy, of the importance of public collaboration, to bring the promise of reading out into the public eye," said Collins.
Jean Fahey hopes to fund and distribute the Spanish version of her book "Make Time for Reading" upon completion of its translation. Her unique book includes a children's picture story on one side of each page, coupled with messages for parents about the importance of reading to their children on the other side. The translated version will make the vital early childhood information in her book available to Spanish speaking parents. "Mass Literacy will be helping me find ways to attract a 'book-sponsor'interested in buying and branding the Spanish version," says Fahey.
With the help of Mass Literacy and the Boston Herald, the Mass Literacy Champions are working to achieve a fully literate population in Massachusetts. For additional information about Mass Literacy and the Mass Literacy Champions Awards Program, visit MassLiteracy.org.

Elizabeth Arden
Elizabeth Arden is a well-known and trusted American skin care brand, but they were having difficulty reaching the Chinese Canadian market. They turned to AVcommunications for help. Using deep knowledge and their experience marketing to this community, AV found non-traditional ways to engage this new audience and won multiple industry awards along the way.
The Ask
Elizabeth Arden
wanted to increase brand awareness of its Skin Illuminating Line among Chinese Canadians, who have an affinity for its European and Asian competitors.
The Audience
3 segments of Chinese Canadian women: the Achiever, the Fashionista, and the Settler, 24-60 years old.
The AV Answer
AVcommunications created "The Beauty Channel," an unbranded microsite that became the new sandbox for beauty, skincare and lifestyle content for Chinese Canadian women. Chinese markets are convinced by hard facts, so we ensured the channel was as informative as it was engaging. The content of The Beauty Channel was written and curated by 2 Chinese beauty editors from 2 trusted publications, adding a voice of authority to the content.
The channel highlighted Elizabeth Arden's proven effectiveness through real women's experiences with the product. We invited 3 Chinese women—each from a different identified segment: the Achiever, the Fashionista and the Settler– to use the Skin Illuminating Skincare Line every day for 6 weeks then share their journey, feedback, and results online.

Lake Arrowhead 30-year resident Keith Allen shot a hole-in-one at a recent golf tournament held at Lake Arrowhead Country Club (LACC).

Their daughter Ashley is on the Rim High Volleyball Team; Jayson is a junior at the University of Utah, and Kayla attends Sonoma State.
"As busy parents for the last 20 years, we had to put golf on the back burner," said Allen.
According to Francis Scheid, Ph.D. in mathematics at Boston University, the odds of an amateur golfer making a hole-in-one are 12,500 to 1.

Mounted the tail strobe/nav light to the rudder tip. I chose to use the Aveo PosiStrobe which is a position and strobe light in one and uses LEDs instead of incandescent bulbs. The light is a bit wider and over hangs just a bit, but I think it looks alright. Need to get a 14v power supply to test it. The PosiStrobe XP was purchased from Aircraft Spruce (https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/elpages/posistrobexp.php)

This is an old thought but one worth considering. Time, as we know, is relative. But what is more elusive than just knowing that, is locating the implications of that in your own life. Ah, repetition. Ever notice that the first time you drive somewhere it seems to take a long time, but then the return trip takes less? Ah ha! A clue. That is due to the relative shrinkage of time due to repetition. The more we repeat something, the less relative time it takes as the mind processes time based on new stimuli. Now, what might this mean for us? Well, I distinctly recall when I was a temp worker horribly doing the same thing ever day doing telemarketing or in the mail room at Farmer's Insurance, that this repetetive form of existence was shrinking my relative life span. That I would look back on my life and see one instant of putting mail in a box. Or if you live in the same town too long, you are shrinking the relative time span of your life. Now, given that, to what degree are businesses which make its workers do repetitive tasks a la Fordist models of manufacturing, culpable of shrinking the relative lifespans of their employees? To what degree is forced repetition prosecutable as a crime against life? Can we defend our right to relative time as an inalienable right directly tied to relative existence?

Addison — Sossy Mechanics deliver a must-see performance in their elegantly simple production, Trick Boxing, in which the Minneapolis-based duo captures the excitement and romance of a time when working-class athletes could galvanize a public huddled around tube radios in dingy Brooklyn apartments.
When an unscrupulous boxing promoter named Buck (all male characters played by Brian Sostek) promises David, an innocent apple peddler, that he can turn him into the next great boxer, the young man is thrust into the ruthless world of shadowy fixed fights. David has just three weeks to train for a match against the reigning champion, but endowed with the bravado of James Cagney, Buck pulls out all the stops and turns the lad into "Dancing Danny David," one of the hottest boxers in 1940s New York City.
But Buck owes money to a vicious boxing hustler named Tommy, and his plan all along is to put David in the ring unprepared, essentially throwing the fight for Tommy. As the swindlers become more and more confident of their "sure thing," David meets a taxi dancer named Bella (Megan McClellan) who has a score of her own to settle with Buck and Tommy. Through swing dancing, she teaches the aspiring fighter how to switch up his style and what it takes to be a champion.
Strong, straightforward storytelling keeps this two-hander from dragging, at all. Sostek's ability to manipulate his voice and mannerisms—even puppets—makes it feel like a full cast is onstage. He can change characters so convincingly mid-sentence that you expect an identical person to step onto the stage to pick up the response.
The two actors are not only accomplished dancers but have keen eyes for how the art can be used as physical acting, whether it be part of the plot, like when Bella teaches David how to swing; a musical-esque break from the story for a short, emotive dance number; or their frequent mixture of the two. In one scene, McClellan and Sostek run through a boxing combination that Bella created from swing-dance moves. They almost shout the ditty of jabs and hooks and dance steps, but go dead quiet as McCellan lands a blow on her partner. The silence that replaces the playfulness of a moment earlier lends an eerie character to the big band music playing sweetly in the background.
» Trick Boxing repeats at 2 p.m. Saturday, March 8 on the Main Stage of the Addison Theatre Centre
» WaterTower Theatre's 2014 Out of the Loop Fringe Festival is 10 days of live theater, dance, music and visual art. To see the full schedule, go here.

November 17, 2018 (JUBA) - The Troika countries have urged the IGAD to keep its leading role in the South Sudanese peace process and to work with Juba over three files related to the security situation and the international arms embargo.
Ahead of the IGAD Council of Ministers on South Sudan and Somalia last Friday the Troika countries issued a statement praising their crucial role in the conclusion of a peace deal in South Sudan and called on the East African bloc to continue its engagement to help the revitalized peace agreement to deliver a lasting peace in the new country.
The Troika started by pointing out to the need to demilitarize the capital Juba and also to allow UNMISS complete freedom of movement to execute its mandate in the city.
The South Sudanese authorities are still resisting to allow the Regional Protection Force of UNMISS of to accomplish its mandate to improve security and protection of civilians in Juba, including to ensure movements at exit and entry points around Juba, contribute to security at the airport and secure key installations.
The second matter raised by the sponsors of the peace implementation was related to the IGAD countries as they prepare to deploy troops that eventually would work under the UNMISS command.
The IGAD force would support the implementation of the security arrangements and be tasked with the protection of the opposition leaders.
"Proposals to augment security in South Sudan should be discussed with the wider international community, be part of an internationally authorized process, and be consistent with the UN arms embargo," said the Troika.
Finally, the troika recalled the IGAD countries to fully observe the implementation of the weapons embargo on South Sudan and the other targeted sanctions.
"We urge IGAD member states to support peace by rigorously implementing the UN Security Council arms embargo and South Sudan sanctions regime, and halting the export and transhipment of prohibited items".
Some east African countries have been accused of violating the embargo which was imposed in July 2018. Also, The 15-member body since July 2015 has blacklisted six rival generals in South Sudan but UN panels report that the sanctions are not rigorously implemented on these military or former generals.

"Face Off" puts on its game face in this spinoff of Syfy's popular makeup artists competition series. It features former "Face Off" all-stars matching skills in head-to-head battles, with multiple reveals and eliminations culminating in a grand prize winner.

Cosplay Melee
Cosplay -- the practice of dressing up as characters from movies, books or video games -- is a popular activity in the sci-fi community. People transform themselves into pop culture-inspired creations, often with an emphasis on anime characters.

Each episode sees four contestants creating full costumes and character origin stories, then hitting the runway in an attempt to impress the judges, who are world-class cosplayer LeeAnna Vamp and costume creator Christian Beckman, by looking -- and acting -- the part. Whoever the judges feel most embodies the character is proclaimed the winner and earns the grand prize. Actress Yvette Nicole Brown ("Community") hosts the show that Syfy says compares to reality show "Face Off" but "with a triple dose of adrenaline."

fucked up music. This is not something that would go down well on a dance floor I would think, unless you would cut out a loop and keep that playing for a while. It's too chaotic in its organisation to be true dance music. Industrial music of the particular brand that uses a lot of harsh rhythms,
Esplendor Geometrico or Le Syndicat spring to this particular mind, is also a place that Urbanfailure touches upon. This is music that is best enjoyed when played loud, probably much louder than your neighbours would allow you to. There is some excellent energy vibing of this record, which
refreshed me very much.

Prosecution authorities later instructed the police to investigate allegations of perjury by witnesses during the trial.
Sheridan shares the semi-detached family home with his wife Gail, an air stewardess and their toddler daughter Gabrielle.
The 43-year-old was approached by police as he left talk107 radio station in Edinburgh, where he presents a show.
He was driven to Gayfield police station in Edinburgh where officers can hold him for up to six hours without charge.
Mr Sheridan's lawyer Aamar Anwar said: "At the moment he is being questioned by police and he is not been given access to his lawyer. We are hopeful that Mr Sheridan will be released. The Sheridan family believe that the way he was dealt with today was totally an appropriate and excessive.
"Police have been at his house since he was detained and Mrs Sheridan is there at the moment and she is being detained at the family home until the search is completed. Mr Sheridan maintains his innocence."
Solicitor Martha Rafferty, speaking on behalf of trial witnesses Anne Colvin and Helen Allison, said: "My clients were pleased to hear that Mr Sheridan was being questioned by police. They have co-operated fully with Lothian and Borders enquires and would very much welcome an early trial."

Link in between Faith as well as dependency Healing
A drug or alcohol addiction affects every location of a person's life. In addition to job as well as relationship issues, a substance abuse trouble could raise some extremely unpleasant concerns concerning identification, as well as the meaning and objective of life. Faith-based recuperation alternatives effort to provide a religious– generally Christian– viewpoint on dependency and treatment, supplying characteristics as well as instructions that are distinct from secular programs.
For people who count on the support of a religious practice, or that are searching for a spiritual foundation for recuperation, faith-based healing programs give an atmosphere that nourishes this element of treatment. Unlike nonreligious healing programs, which may minimize the role of spirituality in order to interest a broader series of customers, faith-based programs are honestly structured around the values, customs, as well as trainings of a details faith. Customers can review issues of belief and addiction with therapists as well as peers in a safe, helpful setting that validates their beliefs.
What Is Christian-Based Treatment Different?
The specifying characteristic of Christian-centered treatment alternatives is that the methods and also strategies are based on, or influenced by, Christian trainings. This implies that they motivate spiritual reflection as part of rehabilitation and counseling, and also make use of Christian bible (as located in the Scriptures) to direct as well as direct clients with cleansing, along with specific, team, or household therapy. Such programs commonly make use of testimonies and also testaments of Christian tenets of God's love and also approval as resources of toughness and ideas for recouping individuals.
The journal Chemical abuse clarifies that faith-based drug therapy programs, driven by the Christian belief system that takes into consideration dependency to be an attempt to fill a spiritual void, existing recuperation in the context of being "conserved" by God, establishing (or re-establishing) a lasting relationship with Him, as well as base their total therapy tasks on a version driven by Christian faith
The History of Faith in Recovery
The intersection between the Christian faith and compound abuse treatment goes back a lengthy way. In enhancement to his job in psychiatry, Jung likewise researched globe religions, developing the concept that a person's life was reliant upon spiritual wellbeing.
Jung excited this viewpoint onto an alcoholic patient of his, telling the man that the only guaranteed method of defeating the illness (because all other approaches had failed) was to locate a spiritual experience. That discussion eventually made its way to the ears of Bill Wilson, the man who would certainly integrate his determined wish to stop alcohol consumption with his newfound Christian belief to develop Twelve step programs. Undoubtedly, Jung contacted Wilson directly to discuss that spiritualism was what was had to conquer alcoholism.
Persuaded of the effectiveness being used the Christian viewpoint to help alcoholics regulate their impulses, Wilson infused every level of Twelve step programs with appropriate meaning. Even the famous 12 Steps of AA obtained its number from the 12 Apostles of Jesus Christ. [3] Fifty percent of the 12 Steps point out God (or, for the benefit of secular or agnostic participants, a "greater power"). [4]
Twelve-Step programs like Twelve step programs have come under objection as well as scrutiny for their lack of openness and also eschewment of standard scientific practices, yet the core concepts of peer assistance, common help, and accountability are still sustained.
Faith and Mental Wellness
Faith-based therapy programs are undoubtedly not for everyone, but they could be a viable answer for a great deal of people, whether they are from a religious history or not. A 1999 research study on "Spiritual Faith as well as Spirituality in Compound Misuse Recovery" published in the Journal of Substance Misuse Therapy discovered that significant levels of religious idea were connected with a more hopeful overview on life, more regarded social support, much better defenses versus stress, and also reduced levels of stress and anxiety, for individuals recuperating from a substance dependancy.
The principle of having common support and a network is one of the structures of faith-based treatment. While definitely not distinct to Christian-oriented programs, the suggestion of coming to be a friend of individuals finding out and also enhancing with each other is mirrored in the results seen at church events. The New york city Times reports on a North Carolina research that found constant church guests had much more social support, and also resulting much better wellness, than individuals who did not attend church. [9] Health Fitness Revolution details a few other psychological wellness advantages that are gained from direct exposure to a church area:
Excellent impacts
Encouraged accountability and also a feeling of routine
Mental and emotional technique
Boosted self-esteem
Motivation to boosting lifestyle

Faith-Based Rehabilitation Success Fees: 'Off the Graphes'
Faith-based recovery has been acquiring popularity over the last few years, yet just how efficient is this technique to treatment? The National Study important Misuse Treatment Solutions reported in 2008 that there were 527 faith-based rehabilitation centers in the United States. Given that the team of such treatment centers tend to be "unlicensed and also nonprofessional," as the Journal of Substance Abuse Therapy noted, as well as treatment does not constantly adhere to standardized clinical techniques, there exists a dearth of systematic empirical study into the effectiveness of faith-based programs.
The directors of those programs focus much less on the figures as well as data of their centers' success prices as well as even more on their effectiveness. Speaking to The Take care of, one supervisor asserts his program is "off the charts" successful; one more says that both nonreligious as well as spiritual treatment programs think extremely highly of his procedure. A 3rd director says 70-80 percent of the graduates of his program did not relapse within the previous year; as well as another pointed at a two-year, in-house study that found 48 percent of its graduates maintained their sobriety after finishing their therapy.
Select a Top quality Christian Alcohol and also Medicine Rehabilitation
If you or a liked one experiences the illness of addiction, chemical abuse treatment could help. Our connection with God suffers greatly during chemical abuse and some addicts could require aid reconnecting with their belief. Medication rehabilitation programs that incorporate scriptural principles with addiction treatment can make the difference for individuals aiming to repair this link

Explore the Graveyard
Walking around a cemetery may seem like an odd pastime, but every graveyard tells many stories - stories of love, hope and despair. Idris Davies, poet, is the most famous memorial here, but there are many other fascinating stories to explore.
- Henry Valentine Trump MP, manager of the Rhymney Ironworks who died July 3rd 1893. It is believed that one of the first members of the Trump family to come to Rhymney was 'qualified to practise the Veterinary Art', and came to Rhymney from Devon to look after the horses and stables of the Rhymney Iron Company. Horses were highly valued, both for hauling ore, coal and limestone in the mining and iron industry, and as drayhorses for the Company's Brewery.
- William Thomas Bowen ME, agent to the Rhymney Iron Company, who lost his life in rescue work in the Darran Colliery disaster on October 29th 1909, aged 39.
- A victim of one of the Valley's cholera epidemics - a visit to near by Cefn Golau Cholera Cemetery really brings home how devastating this disease was in south Wales before sanitation and clean water supplies were installed.
- Lieutenant Albert King who died in action in France in 1917 age 23.
- A heart rending inscription: John, beloved son of Timothy and Mary Clifford, who died May 7th 1905 aged 8 years and 7 months. Also of Leo their son who died in infancy. Also of Timothy their son who died Dec 14th 1922 aged 22 years. Also Alice their daughter who died Dec 18th 1923 aged 15 years. Also of Daniel their son who died May 28th 1925 aged 30.
The Publicans
As you walk around you'll come across a section dedicated to the Publicans of the Parish - which some undertakers called "Rogues Corner". Here you will find, amongst others:
- George Turner of the Royal Hotel, Rhymney, who died in 1898 aged 44.
- Albert George Cook of The Blast Furnace in Pontlottyn, who died in 1905 aged 40.

Zavecz "impressed" with Girlfriend "Our brand, Girlfriend, is clearly number-one-selling but even in total audience it's grown to over 2.3m when you include our social and digital channels," he said."For us, it was a terrific test case of how we go to market with advertisers now. That brand was under pressure, as you've seen with the Dolly print brand, Girlfriend was under pressure but we've been able to turn that around and make it an extremely profitable title by selling a total audience to advertisers across all our channels. "It's sad that Dolly has had to reduce its print product," he added.Bauer Media interim CEO, Andreas Schoo, did not acknowledge Dolly's declines, focusing instead on the success of The Australian Women's Weekly. The highest-selling magazine in the country, The Australian Women's Weekly saw its circulation slip by 7.3% to sit on 400,810."Bauer Media are the number one media company in Australia and when it comes to understanding women and are home to the biggest-selling monthly magazine (The Australian Women's Weekly) and the highest selling weekly magazine (Woman's Day)," Schoo said, in a statement."Magazines continue to be an incredibly important medium to engage with Australians and the strength of our brands allows us to talk to more consumers more often through print, digital, social and live experience channels."Related: What does Bauer Media need to do to become a real force again?Steve Allen, principal of Fusion Strategy, told Mumbrella it was "fantastic" the magazine was above 400,000."I thought it was just brilliant. It's showing you that even when you're still investing in high-quality journalism, it's very hard to hang on to your circulation," he said.However, it will be a tough challenge for the new AWW editor Kim Wilson, who replaces Helen McCabe, who resigned from the post in January, to maintain the magazine's circulation above the 400,000 mark.Commenting on Wilson's appointment, Allen said: "A new editor has to be hired with the promise that they can do better, they've got new ideas and a new approach."Kim Wilson is a very seasoned and a very experienced magazine editor. She has a strong track record. The seriousness in the in-depth stories will lighten up under her editorship," he said. Bauer Media stable-mate Cosmopolitan saw its circulation drop by 21.7%, year-on-year, to 64,278 from 82,112.Elle Australia, also owned by Bauer Media, and competing in the tough young women's category, saw its circulation dip below the 60,000 mark for the first time. For the July to December period, the title posted a circ of 57,544 down from 60,324 – a drop of 4.6%.Final circulation numbers for the soon-to-be-defunct Cleo were not included in the audit.Pacific Magazines' Marie Claire fared well, posting a circulation decline of 0.6% year-on-year, remaining largely steady, with the title selling (on average) 80,106 copies a month compared with 80,618 for the same period in 2014.The latest numbers also show the shine has come off one-time darling of the print media Frankie, which showed circulation declines for a third survey in succession. Frankie posted a year-on-year drop of 13.6% from 61,427 copies sold on average per month in the December 2014 quarter to 53,053 in the December 2015 quarter.Fusion Strategy's Allen said: "Titles that went against the trend for a long time, like Frankie, are now finding their bubble has burst."Looking at the food category, NewsLifeMedia's Taste.com.au print magazine saw a slight upturn in circulation, posting 0.2% growth, selling an extra 117 copies in the second half of last year compared with the same time period in 2014. In the most recent December quarter, Taste.com.au's magazine posted a circulation of 77,169 compared with its December 2014 quarter circulation of 77,052. TASTE.COM.AU MAGAZINE 77,169 77,052 0.20% NewsLifeMedia's Donna Hay also posted growth, with circulation up 0.9% from 81,844 copies in July to December 2014 to 82,592 sold in the same period last year.However, NewsLifeMedia's premium food magazine Delicious saw a very slight decline in circulation, posting a circulation of 90,857 for the July to December period compared with 91,147 copies sold on average per month in the same period in 2014.NewsLifeMedia's Superfood Ideas was also hit hard, posting a year-on-year circulation decline of 19.8%, dropping from 130,039 in the December 2014 quarter to 104,271 in the most recent December quarter.Looking at the homes and gardens category, Pacific Magazines' Better Homes & Garden continues to dominate the category despite a circulation decline of 8%.Better Homes & Gardens posted a July to December circulation of 330,017 – down from 355,668 in the same period in 2014.NewsLifeMedia's Inside Out posted growth of 10.6%, up from 45,139 to 49,909. NewsLifeMedia CEO Nicole Sheffield said in a statement: "I'm very pleased with our circulation results this audit; all of our home titles increased, with Inside Out achieving the largest rate of growth, year-on-year, in the homes category; we now have the top four food titles in the country, with numbers overall being stable."Australian House & Garden, owned by Bauer Media, dropped below the 100,000 mark for the first time since mid 2009. The magazine posted a circulation of 98,130, down from 112,062 at the end of 2014, which is a decline of 12.4%.Pacific Magazine's Australian Home Beautiful saw its circulation dip by 4.5%, landing on 84,163 copies shifted per month.Real Living, owned by Bauer Media, witnessed its circulation dive by 10% to sit at 72,026.

It was a monthly magazine that we reformatted to be a bi-monthly."We found buyers and readers weren't getting through it in time for the next edition. Going bi-monthly can raise your average issue audience quite markedly."Pacific Magazines' Women's Health saw its circulation slide by 12.6% to sit on 66,031, while Pac Mags' stablemate Men's Health saw its circulation dip by 8.9% to fall below the 50,000 mark for the first time.The title shifted, on average 48,004, copies a month for the July to December period last year, compared with the 52,714 copies it sold in the same time period in 2014.Bauer Media's Good Health posted a circulation decline of 11.20% from 57,638 at the end of 2014 to 51,211 at the end of last year.Miranda Ward Miranda Ward Miranda Ward worked for Mumbrella from 2013 to 2017, eventually becoming deputy editor.

Now, imagine yourself sitting in a Mercedes-Benz C 300 4MATIC Cabriolet with the top down, feeling all of the above — it's painting a pretty picture.
If you choose to drive in a Mercedes-Benz, not only will you be driving in style, but there are other reasons why autumn is the best time to purchase a convertible Mercedes-Benz and to drop the top.
Gone are the hot days of summer, so with milder temperatures, pests are a thing of the past — you can leave the bug repellent at home! In addition, allergy season usually ends by mid-November, so this is the time to enjoy an outdoor ride without having to worry about a runny nose and sneezing.
The truth is, there are plenty of days left before cold temperatures hit and Mercedes-Benz Kamloops has many options if you're in the market for a Benz with topless options.

LET'S ROCK...AGAIN!?
At 60 frames per second, there's been a lot of polish done on the graphical aspect of game that already looks beautiful. For those new to Guilty Gear, one of the most outstanding aspects is how the game transitions between on-screen mayhem to it's finishing move cutscenes, and everything inbetween.
For modes, there's the regular Story Mode and Episode mode - the latter features the story told from teh arcade version of the game; for beginners there's tutorial and practice modes and M.O.M. mode, a hardcore challenge for returning veterans. However, while this is all single player, the meat in Guilty Gear is definitely in it's online VS offering, and this is where it gets interesting.

What makes this mode stand out is that the lobby mode is set up like an arcade with cabinet machines, bringing in a nice sense of community for fighting fans to gather and duke it out. As well, in this lobby, there's even a fishing pond; gamers can use this mechanic to acquire custom parts and emotes for their avatar, or even new player colors!

Worthing spending your money on this game! Excellent graphics. I really enjoyed my time playing this game. Two thumbs up!!! Highly recommended
Guilty Gear Xrd - Revelator is a solid fighting game containing a wide variety of characters. They range from characters with solid neutral and pressure tools like Sin and Johnny, to Okizeme monsters like Millia and Raven.
The initial tutorial is a nice way to teach new players the basics, but as with any fighting game there's more technology under the hood and thankfully they cover this as well. Guilty Gear Xrd - Revelator gives players tools to better understand the mechanics and character matchups through mission mode, or to get an idea of a character's playstyle and damage through combos.
The game is very momentum oriented and encourages forward movement through increased meter gain and rewarding setups off of a hard knock down. It also promotes active defense through instant blocking and dead angles to try and shift the momentum in your favor. It always feels like both players have something to do and a chance to get back in, while at the same time rewarding players who can maintain momentum with more opportunities to close out the round, which I find pretty satisfying.
Graphical differences between PS3 and PS4 / Arcade version are noticeable, notably the lack of additional lighting effects on fireballs (in higher fidelity versions of the game, these fireballs have their own light source), and some effects are toned down, (Jam's Asanagi buff special, and the dynamic shadow effects of Central Organ Tower based on altitude). On PS3 there is some noticeable frame drop in high density stages when set to "Graphics Priority", however this may be TV dependent. This can be remedied by setting is to "Processing Priority" instead, though you lose some graphical fidelity like the sharpness of models.
[Please note this only applies to the PS3 version of the game, if I'm incorrect please let me and other people know]
Story is split into a watch-only movie, as well as a playable arcade mode which gives context to the main story for each character released before Jam (I think, as of 28 June 2016). It is fairly enjoyable, however having the main story component having no play-ability may not be for everyone.
Overall, a very good fighting game with plenty to offer for veteran fighting game players, and tools to help newer players as well. The PS4 version is way to go however, as the PS3 version is missing some of the graphical upgrades to the previous game. Guilty Gear Xrd - Revelator is a solid entry to the Arc System Works catalog regardless of which version you choose.
Great graphics, great animation, great gameplay! There's also a lot of improvement from the previous Xrd -SIGN-. It has better online play setup and better online lobby and rooms. And there are new features – new characters, new effects (character rendering, clash, special KO bg, etc.), new skills – just to name a few. Even if you don't play Guilty Gear you get your money's worth just with the great graphics and story mode movie. Can't go wrong in buying this – definitely recommended.
I just received my copy of Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator yesterday and it's already become one of my favorite fighters of all time. It's fast paced, rockin', and really really enjoyable. Guilty Gear is back for a new generation.

Offers of help have come flooding in to a couple who lost their teenage son to cancer.
On Wednesday, we told how rock star Sting gave £10,000 to the parents of Chris Lucas, both called Lynn, who died nearly four years ago.
The money is to be used to pay for a researcher to help find a cure for a rare kind of cancer called Rhabdomyosarcoma.
So far the couple have raised more than £116,000 and since the story appeared, their phone has never stopped.
Mrs Lucas, 46, said: "We have had lots of calls and offers of help and we are very grateful. Chris was very special and we are doing this for him."
The couple contacted multi-millionaire Sting asking him for signed memorabilia to auction for the appeal.
But they were flabbergasted when the bumper cheque arrived at their home in Hadrian Park, Wallsend, with a card signed: "Best wishes, from Sting and Trudi."
Graphic artist Chris was just 18 when he died of the cancerous muscle tumour which affects only one in a million people. The family need to raise at least a further £50,000 to fund a researcher at Newcastle University for three years.
Sting's hit Brand New Day was Chris's favourite song and was played at his funeral.
Chris's parents, who have another son, David, 19, used to know Sting, the son of a Wallsend milkman, 25 years ago before he hit the big time.

- Synopsis
A TIME Magazine Best Paperback of 2017
One of Oprah Magazine's "Ten Best Books of 2017"
"This singular poetry collection is a dynamic meditation on the experience of, and societal narratives surrounding, contemporary black womanhood. . . . These exquisite poems defy categorization." ―The New Yorker
Publishers Weekly's Ten Best Poetry Collections of Spring A Most Anticipated book at Buzzfeed, NYLON, and Bustle
"This is a marvelous book. See for yourself. Morgan Parker is a fearlessly forward and forward-thinking literary star." —Terrance Hayes
There Are More Beautiful Things Than Beyoncé uses political and pop-cultural references as a framework to explore 21st century black American womanhood and its complexities: performance, depression, isolation, exoticism, racism, femininity, and politics.
The only thing more beautiful than Beyoncé is God, and God is a black woman sipping rosé and drawing a lavender bath, texting her mom, belly-laughing in the therapist's office, feeling unloved, being on display, daring to survive. Morgan Parker stands at the intersections of vulnerability and performance, of desire and disgust, of tragedy and excellence. Unrelentingly feminist, tender, ruthless, and sequined, these poems are an altar to the complexities of black American womanhood in an age of non-indictments and deja vu, and a time of wars over bodies and power. These poems celebrate and mourn. They are a chorus chanting: You're gonna give us the love we need.

Wednesday's Word: Quixotic
Today's word is one that has a strong literary connection, much like Bandersnatch from last week. This week's word is:
The word describes someone who is idealistic to a fault or at the very least, highly impractical in their pursuits. It derives from the lead character in the 1605 book by Miguel Cervantes, El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha, or, as it is known in English, Don Quixote. In it, the character of Don Quixote embarks on adventures which spring from inventions of his own making. He fancies himself a noble knight and rides off fighting windmills which he believes to be "giants" (this novel is also where we get the phrase "chasing windmills" which describes the act of fighting an enemy that isn't really there).
Don Quixote is a melancholy tale to be sure, but there is a sort of endearing quality about him. For though his perceptions are false and his quests foolish, there is a nobility about him and a heroic resolve to face impossible obstacles that gives us pause. Cervantes' tale is both a cautionary and inspirational one at the same time. We can find in Quixote the example of someone who cares little for the naysayers, for those who would quelch his dreams, and yet at the same time, we come to realize that the blind pursuit of our dreams with no connection to reality is ultimately a pitiable thing.
In my sci-fi fantasy romance, The Spirit of Caledonia, I used the word quixotic to describe one of the characters, or at least what his friends thought about him. If you want to find out which character that was, be sure to download it from Amazon. The story is free at the time of this writing.
One last treat before I finish. Like many great novels, Don Quixote has inspired other artists. One of those is the musician Gordon Lightfoot. While it won't tell you much about the plot, the song he wrote about Cervantes' errant knight is a beautiful homage to this ironic hero and so I've included it here for your enjoyment.

"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers." Charles W. Elio
Reading is important for several reasons: introducing yourself to new things, new ways of thinking, new ways of solving problems; helping prevent dementia and improving memory; reducing stress; developing critical thinking skills. The list goes on and on. With the growth of technology, we have seen a decline in the habit of reading but for those of you who have read a good book, you know of all the positive impact it can have on your day. For me, 2018 has been the year of reading. I have read 14 books so far and thought it was a good time to share my favorite reads of 2018 with you.
*This post contains affiliate links.
The Mothers
Brit Bennett
(5/5) The Mothers is a New York Times Bestseller, and for good reason. Set within a black California community, this is a story about love, friendship, and ambition. The story starts with a secret that spans the life of the story, weaving between the lives of the characters and impacting them each in different ways. The story is beautifully written and I devoured it in two days. It is a reminder that the choices we make will shape our lives and ripple through the lives of those we love. If you have ever been part of a tight-knit community, the longing for answers and truth will really resonate with you.
Imagine: How Creativity Works
Jonah Lehrer
(5/5) Where do I start with this book? It opened my eyes to so many aspects of my own creativity that I had never thought about. It is a must-read for anyone working in a creative department or problem-solving workplace. Each chapter details the account of a unique problem and how it was solved, including the writing of a Bob Dylan song and the invention of the Swiffer. This book chronicles the innovation of the human mind and the role our creativity plays in our everyday lives and professional selves. You will learn how to be more productive, why criticism is important and how to collaborate effectively, among other things.
Where'd You Go, Bernadette
Maria Semple
(4/5) Where'd you go, Bernadette is a unique book and truly a novel unlike any I have ever read. Written through email exchanges and the point–of–view of a 15-year-old daughter this a heart-warming and thoughtful story that follows the disappearance of Bernadette, the mom of 15-year-old Bee and the wife of a Microsoft exec. It is witty and engrossing. The story pieces together the personality of Bernadette through her present life and her past life, and she really is a well-developed character. Be warned, Bernadette does not disappear until the end of the story, but you will find that the rest of the story is necessary to understanding the mind of Bernadette. If you are looking for a light, easy read, this one is for you!
Sing, Unburied, Sing
Jesmyn Ward
(4/5) This is a different book, but very intriguing and definitely one of my favorite reads of 2018. It is a story about family and the ties that bind us. This story is mostly written from the perspective of JoJo, a 13-year-old black boy and his mom, Leonie. JoJo's father is white, and getting out of prison, a prison that JoJo's grandfather was once in with another boy, whose ghost is now searching out JoJo. This book has some truth about the reality of circumstances, the history of the South and drug use and violence. It is so beautifully and vividly written and will evoke emotions in you.
Into The Water
Paula Hawkins
(4/5) From the author of Girl on the Train comes another mystery novel surrounding the death of women in the Drowning Pool, a stretch of water in a small town. This story can be hard to follow at first, as there are a lot of different character perspectives, but it is an engrossing novel and while some may predict the ending, I didn't see it until the last pages. If you love a good domestic thriller, this is a must-read. I had to include a good thriller in my favorite reads of 2018!

Beekeeping Boosts Incomes in Uganda
Linkages to Private Sector Ensure Market for Honey Producers
In the remote, dusty village of Kamera in northeastern Uganda, villagers have traditionally depended on hunting, day labor, and small-scale agriculture to earn a living. As climate change has caused unpredictable weather conditions, however, families have struggled to meet basic needs as crops and incomes have dried up.
In 2014, seeking an alternative source of income for people in the region, the USAID Resiliency through Wealth, Agriculture, and Nutrition (RWANU) project met with a group of villagers to equip them to strengthen local beekeeping practices. Traditionally, the people of Kamera have produced honey, but the quality and quantity were only sufficient for home consumption.
"I plan to increase honey production as these profits have allowed me to diversify my income and grow my other businesses." – Matthew L., RWANU-trained farmer
To ensure a buyer for the honey, RWANU connected the Kamera villagers with Ugandan honey start-up Golden Bees Ltd. As Ugandans consider honey from this area to be the best in the country, Golden Bees was keen to work with the beekeepers in this area to improve their practices.
Nearly 700 villagers learned how to construct a more productive hive, how to set up bee colonies, when to harvest, and how to ensure a high-quality product by attending trainings led by RWANU and Golden Bees. RWANU also supported trainings on group dynamics and organization to enable beekeepers to consolidate honey production among different villages and bargain more effectively with Golden Bees.
In the second season of organized beekeeping activities, villagers are reaping the benefits. Beekeeper Maria L., a 45-year-old mother of seven, bought chickens, which she sells at a profit, with the income from her beehives. She notes that, "We are now are able to buy additional food for the children and seeds for the next planting season." Overall, villagers trained by RWANU in beekeeping produced more than 32,000 pounds of honey between 2015 and 2016, earning them profits of more than $20,000. In Kamera, villagers used profits to buy hardy goats and start small side businesses.
As a result of assistance from the USAID RWANU project, the villagers of Kamera are now committed to increasing production and building more hives as they believe demand will increase. The future looks bright for Kamera beekeepers' as Golden Bees has received orders from Kenya and beyond.
Beekeeping Broadens Benefits

Guest Reviews
Beautiful hotel in the middle of the main square. Extremely clean with a lovely deep bath. Free mini bar that was replaced every day for free. Comfortable beds and quiet rooms. Perfect location for shopping and the hotel helped us arrange tours. The hotel staff were exceptionally helpful with a bottle of Prosecco or juice on arrival. Breakfasts were comprehensive and delicious and the chef was happy to make you anything cooked from fresh.

We stayed here for 3 nights last week and loved every minute! I can't wait to go back again. We organised pick up with the Hotel and the driver was waiting for us at the airport. At check in we were given a glass of prosecco and then in the room a bottle of prosecco was waiting for us.We had booked a Junior Suite and it did not disappoint. They had decorated it for my husband's birthday and also left him a surprise bottle of wine. The room was spacious, view of the Square beautiful and beds really comfortable. The non alcoholic mini bar was restocked daily. The room was spotless and the staff at the hotel are so friendly. From Reception to cleaners to the restaurant..... everyone was brilliant . Reception even booked our tours for us and we were picked up at the hotel foyer. This is an ideal spot as it is so central. The bugle sounds on the hour every hour.... this did not bother us at all. In fact it was quite comforting if you heard it during the night. If you're going to Krakow this is the place to stay!!

Borrego Solar Systems to Build 10 MW of Rooftop Solar Projects in Southern California
These Projects Bring Borrego Solar's total under local utility's Solar PV Program to 17 MW across nine projects, with 7 MW and four projects already operational
Borrego Solar Systems Inc., a leading designer, developer, installer and financier of grid-tied solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, today announced that Southern California Edison (SCE) has agreed to buy nearly 10 MW of solar PV capacity from rooftop solar Wholesale Distributed Generation (WDG) projects that Borrego Solar will build. SCE has signed five 20-year Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) to buy the energy from the projects.
The systems will be located on industrial warehouse buildings in Southern California. Borrego Solar will complete the development of the portfolio and do the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC).
These projects are part of SCE's fourth solicitation under the Solar Photovoltaic Program (SPVP) for Independent Power Producers, a five-year program to procure 125 MW of primarily rooftop PV projects. Borrego Solar has had a lot of success with the SPVP program, having four projects totaling 7 MW under the program in operation. These new PPAs will bring Borrego Solar's total participation in the program to nine projects totaling 17 MW.
"Covering the rooftops of large industrial warehouses with solar is a great utilization of space, environmental resources, and plays into the distributed benefits of photovoltaics" said Brian von Moos, vice president of utility project development at Borrego Solar. "Instead of disturbing pristine land to build new power sources, we can make use of vast amounts of rooftop space where we don't have to worry about further impacting the environment to deliver clean renewable energy directly where it's consumed. I only wish more utilities would follow SCE's lead in pursing these types of projects."
The program is one of the only utility procurement solicitations that specifically targets rooftop-sited wholesale solar power plants in the country. The program favors siting projects on top of large industrial warehouses where 1 MW to 5MW of solar can be installed and the energy harvested sold directly to the utility. Selling directly to the utility allows for greater economies of scale because the entire rooftop can be covered with solar and it provides greater certainty in monetizing the energy—compared to dealing with a tenant, who may go out of business or move out.
Non-owner occupied large industrial warehouses have typically not been a good fit for solar given that tenants tend to have short-term leases and committing to long-term capital investments doesn't usually make economic sense. Also, under Net Energy Metering PV projects are sized to meet a load, which in these types of warehouse facilities is a fraction of the PV potential for the entire rooftop.
Once fully operational, the Borrego Solar portfolio will generate enough energy to power approximately 3,672 homes and offset 17,584 tons of carbon annually, which is the equivalent of taking 3,702 cars off the road for a year.
