Review of Noel Straus in The New York Times
Bruna Castagna Interprets the Title Role in the Opera Created by Bizet
Joseph Royer Heard in 'Toreador Song' - Gennaro Papi Holds Baton at Performance
The haphazard, inconsequential proceedings at last night's performance of "Carmen" at the Metropolitan Opera House were redeemed by Bruna Castagna, whose singing of the title r¶le imparted to the presentation what vocal glamour it possessed. Miss Castagna was in top form and threw herself into her impersonation with an abandon and zest all the more remarkable considering the amateurish support she received from most of her colleagues.
Carmen is a notoriously difficult part, requiring expert histrionic ability and vivid personality as well as sure command of voice in music requiring an exceptionally wide tonal compass. Few Carmens arrive at greatness, for the simple reason that, though an artist may be fortunate enough to possess one or two of these essentials, she is more likely than not incapable of meeting all of the demands made upon her in Bizet's exacting creation.
Tones Rich and Brilliant
Few Carmens nowadays are able to do such full justice to Carmen's music as Miss Castagna managed to accomplish with it last night. Her pure, free tones were employed with the utmost subtlety. They were rich, brilliant and soaring when employed at the full, and as luscious when thus stressed as when tempered to answer the needs of the more delicate and sensitive measures allotted her. Here was singing with all the warmth, color, nuance and expressiveness the r¶le asks of its interpreters.
If Miss Castagna's acting of the part had been as superior as her singing of it she would have carried all before her and found herself without many serious rivals in this opera. She was enticing, and voluptuous; defiant, cruel or tender, but never the fate-haunted gypsy whose very entrance in the first act is accompanied by the motive of death and ultimate destruction. It was the want of this all-important element that kept her interpretation from arriving at great heights, but within its limitations it was a most laudable piece of work and one of the most finished in detail yet heard from her here.
Rayner and Royer Sing
As Don Jose, Sydney Rayner was deadly serious and also intense, but hardly the romantic officer of Bizet's imagination. His pinched top tones and the lack of elegance of style in his song did not help matters. Joseph Royer had more grace of stage deportment, but his voice had neither the resonance nor the vital ring and vivid timbre to make anything worthwhile of the "Toreador Song." Natalie Bodanya sang expressively, as Micaela, although her conception of the r¶le was small in caliber.
Thelma Votipka was the Frasquite and Maria Matyas, the only member of the cast not heard here before in the opera, was the Mercedes. Louis D'Angelo, as Zuniga; Wilfred Engelman, as Morales; George Cehanovsky, as Dancaire and Ludovico Olieviero, as Remendado, completed the personnel.
The chorus has often sung better in this opera within recent memory. And the orchestra seldom has sounded as rough in it as it did on this occasion, under Gennaro Papi's direction.

I have tried to grow echinacea from seed before, I put the seeds in the frig and even in the freezer and they still failed to germinate. Do you think it might work if I put the seeds in a moist paper towel in a bag and then put that in the refrigerator?. Do the seeds need light or dark to germinate?
I did buy 2 echinacea plants (yellow), and they bloomed for a while then the flowers dried up and the the leaves turned black over the last two months. Now, there are some new leaves sprouting . Is this normal? Echinacea is a zone 2-9 plant and I live in zone 12a. I can usually grow most zone 9 plants, but zone 8 plants struggle in summer.
My average temps are 59-90 throughout the year. Ave day lengths 11-14 hours. Humidity 80% or better. It is dry if the humidity is 67%. I have two seasons, wet and dry.
Should I plant the echinacea in the ground or leave it in a pot so I can move it around? Do I plant it where it will get morning sun or is all day sun o.k.?

High alert was on Thursday sounded and security stepped up in Jammu and Kashmir in the wake of inputs about possible attacks by Pakistan-based terror outfits on 'soft targets' ahead of US President Barack Obama's India visit later this month.
Ahead of Republic Day celebrations, security arrangements have been strengthened in the entire Jammu region to thwart the nefarious designs of the militant outfits.
"Quick reaction teams (QRT) of the police, PCR vans have been kept on high alert and new check posts have been set up at a distance of every eight to ten kilometers to ensure that the Republic Day celebrations go incident free," Deputy Inspector General of Police (Jammu Kathua Range) Shakeel Ahmed Beigh said.
He said that extra vigil is being maintained at every entry and exit points of Jammu and every vehicle entering or leaving the region is being frisked.
The army on Thursday said that 200 heavily armed militants were waiting in 36 launching pads across the Line of Control (LoC) on the other side of Pir Panchal range to sneak into the Indian Territory to launch a terrorist attack on the Indian soil ahead of Obama's India visit.
"There are general inputs that terrorists might try to attack soft targets including schools, religious places, army convoys and other civilian areas. There are 200 terrorists waiting in 36 launching pads across the border on the other side of the Pir Panjal range to sneak into Indian side, we have so far been able to foil their attempts," General Officer Commanding (GOC), 16 Corps, Lt Gen K H Singh said.
He said that the army was fully prepared to deal with any such eventuality and that security agencies have increased their vigil so as to thwart the nefarious designs of militant outfits.

People who are engaged in a program of personal development are actively trying to improve all aspects of their lives. You need to learn as much information as you can to get the most of your personal development journey. Read this article to get started on your personal development journey.
Stress is one of the biggest enemies of happiness. When we have to deal with stress, it takes its toll on the body in a physical and mental sense. To start thinking clearly and reaching for calm, purposeful goals, destroy your mind's stress. Each day, take time to quiet your mind and relax. You can increase how good you feel about yourself and how at peace you feel by using this time to relax.
Know what your core beliefs are and live by them. Everyone has basic principles by which they define themselves. You will be able to feel proud of yourself if you do not make compromises and follow your values. This practice will encourage consistency, a valuable character trait to keep.
Exercise can benefit almost anyone, even those who are not trying to shed excess weight. There are many reason you should do physical exercise. When you exercise, your body is stimulated to produce hormones and chemicals that work together to keep you calm and happy.
The first step towards personal development is learning how to be a leader. While there are multiple ways to define leadership, most people regard it as influence. Review your total experiences as a leader. What experiences have had the greatest impact on your life? Consider how you have grown because of these events. What do you feel makes you a good team player? Being able to answer these questions will help you realize how important you can be to your team.
One part of depression you may not thought of to look at is your diet and increasing the amount of complex carbohydrates that you consume. If you are not consuming adequate amounts of complex carbohydrates, your serotonin levels may be lower than they should be. Add complex carbohydrates to your diet through increased consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables, brown rice and whole grains.
If your personal development plan calls for overcoming social anxieties, going to the movies with a friend is a great first step. This places you in a social situation, but you won't have to extensively socialize with others. You can use the trip as an opportunity to become accustomed to the company of others.
Don't think physical activity is only for when you want to lose a few pounds. There are many reason you should do physical exercise. It helps stimulate your body so that you can create chemicals that make you calmer and happier.
Take stock of your alcohol use to see if you are drinking too much. Are nicotine or other destructive habits something that harms you? You should treat your body as if it is a temple. Eradicating negative behaviors is key to leading a better lifestyle. Take a look at your overall life and the habits you engage in to figure out if there is something you can eliminate.
Go to the movies with a friend to help overcome anxiety. Movies are wonderful ways to socialize without feeling like you have to carry on a conversation. It also helps you feel comfortable around crowds.
Ignore social status and instrumental gain and treat everyone equally, unless they have actually done something to earn your scorn. The way you behave toward others has more to do with your personality than with anything they say or do.
Simplify your life by getting organized. Organizing things will give you the feeling that you've accomplished something, and increase your confidence levels as well. The stress caused by disorganization will also be relieved. Being able to find whatever you are looking for is an amazing feeling.
Your body and mind run together in perfect harmony, so it stands to reason that the healthiness of one will impact on the healthiness of the other. Make sure you treat your body properly: follow a healthy diet and exercise regularly. Don't forget that a healthy body helps ensure a healthy mind.
Are you ready to improve your life and your persona? The biggest influence on your personal development success will be knowing the difference between good and bad tactics. By using the suggestions offered in this article, you have taken the initial steps needed to advance towards your personal development goal.

Root Cause Analysis (RCA)
Root cause analysis (RCA) is a structured study that determines the underlying causes of adverse events. RCA focuses on systems, processes, and common causes that were involved in the adverse event. It then determines ways to prevent recurrence by identifying potential improvements in systems and processes that should decrease the likelihood of repeating the event.
Occurrences that may jeopardize patient safety must be investigated immediately, and appropriate risk-reduction activities must be implemented. The most serious of these occurrences has been labeled by the Joint Commission as a sentinel event, an unexpected event involving patient death or serious physical or psychological injury. A root cause analysis must be performed if a sentinel event occurs.
Another serious event that also requires investigation at the level of a Root Cause Analysis is sometimes referred to as a
near miss
. A near miss is a process variation that did not result in patient death or serious injury, but a significant risk of one of these adverse outcomes was present and could occur if the same process variation was repeated.

Thank you to everyone who has supported The Rocky Appeal over the last 27 years. From the individual supporters to the group fundraising events, The Rocky Appeal has helped to provide a significant number of additional care-enhancing pieces of equipment for Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust.
About The Rocky Appeal
Launched in 1991 and named after the famous 'Rocky' films, The Rocky Appeal was formed under the umbrella of Portsmouth Hospitals Charity by Mick Lyons. During his time working for Portsmouth Hospitals Charity, Mick Lyons formed and managed The Rocky Appeal, one of the many funds at Portsmouth Hospitals Charity which aims to help support all wards and departments within Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust.
As Rocky Appeal Coordinator, Mick worked tirelessly and helped to raise over £15 million for several pieces of state-of-the-art hospital equipment at Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust, all of which would have not been possible through traditional funding routes of the NHS. These pieces of equipment included a Cat Scanner, Unique Cancer Laboratory, futuristic dialysis machines and the Da Vinci Robot.
In June 2018 aged 74, Mick Lyons announced his retirement from his role as Rocky Appeal Coordinator and subsequently the end of what is known as The Rocky Appeal having reached its final target of £2.4 million for the Da Vinci Robot. Although this marks an end of an era for Portsmouth Hospitals Charity, the impact that Mick Lyons and The Rocky Appeal have had on Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust will continue to benefit patients for many years in the future.
The Da Vinci Robot
Thanks to the generosity of the local the community and an anonymous donor, The Rocky Appeal reached its £2.4 million fundraising target for the Da Vinci Robot in June 2018. There are only 60 Da Vinci Robots currently in the UK. This technology is not available at Southampton or Chichester, our nearest neighbouring hospitals. Because of The Rocky Appeal, robotic surgery will benefit thousands of patients along the South Coast with conditions ranging from brain tumours to prostate cancer.
Fundraising for space-age keyhole surgery robot started in 2014, and with the amazing support of you in the community, Robotic surgery is here to stay at QA, meaning future generations will have access to more accurate and less invasive surgical techniques, resulting in a greatly reduced risk of complications and quicker recovery times for patients all along the South Coast. And it doesn't stop there! Thanks to an anonymous donor who contributed a considerable amount, we are also able to purchase innovative new training equipment, which will enhance robotics training for our surgeons and trainees from all over the world.
How does the Da Vinci Robot work?
The surgeon sits in a console controlling the robot, in a 3D environment, at the patient's side. This enables more precise surgical techniques to be used, especially in small areas of the body such as the pelvis, head, neck and throat. Since installing the Da Vinci Robot at QA Hospital, patients from Portsmouth and surrounding areas, including Isle of Wight and Jersey have benefited from this innovative surgical technique.
Patients being admitted with a variety of cancers such as prostate, gynaecological, colorectal, kidney, bladder and head and neck, will benefit from having no major open surgery thus allowing for a much faster recovery time and return to home and working life quicker.
When walking down the corridor from the main atrium at QA Hospital you may notice a spectacular sea of boats on the wall opposite Costa. This is known as the Boats of Bounty Board and recorded donations to The Rocky Appeal. Although the Rocky Appeal has now closed and the last boat has been placed on the wall, this iconic wall will remain in Queen Alexandra Hospital as a reminder of the kindness and generosity from those who supported The Rocky Appeal over the years.
There are so many ways for you to still be involved in fundraising for Portsmouth Hospitals Charity. Click the links below to find out more!

Innermost Pendant lights
Launch 'marble' pendant lights that are not what they seem...
Whether found in cafes, bars, meetings rooms, or at home Innermost thrive on taking unique ideas and creating beautiful, thoughtful and innovative lighting.
Lighting is such an important aspect of any interior space, and an area that should be considered and invested in. Just like the furniture in a room, lighting should be something beautiful that you surround yourself with.
When choosing a unique pendant light, or selecting from a lighting collection have fun with scale and don't be afraid to use oversize pendants or multiple sizes and colours.
Founders Steve Jones and Russell Cameron believe in creating beautifully crafted pieces that are constructed with longevity in mind. By investing in pendants that are well designed and aesthetically pleasing, it will provide more enjoyment over its lifetime.
Only excellent quality materials and components go into each product and so the majority of their range comes with a 3-year guarantee as standard. They are passionate about each design and every level of detail that goes into its manifestation. With their hands-on approach to manufacture, they travel across the globe sourcing the best quality materials and the most suitable producers for each product and every component. Whether they are prototyping in Hong Kong, using hand-blown glass by artisans in the Czech Republic, or doing bespoke engineering at their factory in the UK, they stay close to the manufacturing development at every level.
Innermost continue to embrace innovative materials with their new Doric range, which appears to be made from marble, but is actually produced from a special resin. Allowing for a unique form with beautiful scalloped detailing, these marbled pieces give the appearance of heavy, solid forms that are in fact lightweight and translucent.
Designer James Bartlett was inspired by the forms of ancient columns and pillars, particularly those of the ancient Greek order of architecture: Doric. The traditional forms have been subverted so that the classical scalloped details of the structure instead encircle the interior of the shade. This detail can therefore only be seen from certain angles, particularly beautiful when viewed from below, revealing a form that is not unlike the crimped edge of a seashell.
Doric is available now in 3 sizes, and multiple finishes, directly from Innermost.

Ganges #5 is the latest issue of the series Ganges, in the "Ignatz" collection of comic books, a selection of international high-end post-comics graphic novel serials in a magazine format. The Eisner and Harvey nominated and Ignatz winning series is back. In this pulse pounding issue Glenn Ganges travels back in time and learns about mountains and rivers at the speed of "Deep Time." Glenn and his wife Wendy also spend some time trying to work together, go to the airport and go to a funeral. Every page is a jam packed jewel of cartooning power. Arguably, the comic book highlight of the year.
This issue is dedicated to the memory of Kim Thompson.

Congress Blindsides Defiant Sanctuary Cities – Democrats In Deep Trouble
Dems have no idea what's coming. It's about time we put America first. If you come here illegally.. you need to be deported. Despicable that we even have sanctuary cities.
Enough is enough of this insanity.
From Roll Call:
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy has introduced legislation that includes more than $23 billion for President Donald Trump's border security agenda and numerous enforcement provisions aimed at cracking down on sanctuary cities and undocumented criminals, a proposal that could boost his bid to lead the House GOP after next month's elections.
The California Republican introduced the bill on Friday after visiting the El Paso, Texas, sector of the southern border on Thursday.
The majority leader said he was "awed by the magnitude of the border and the bravery of the officers who patrol it."
"I also came away with greater conviction of the need to support these officers by giving them the resources they need: More agents, technology, and most importantly the Wall," said McCarthy in a news release.
Specifically, the legislation text includes $16.6 billion for wall construction and $6.8 billion for infrastructure and technology improvements for the Border Patrol.
It also includes several smaller Republican immigration proposals, many of which have already passed the House. Among them are provisions drawn from a bill that would raise mandatory minimum penalties for undocumented immigrants who repeatedly cross the border and others taken from legislation to strip funding from sanctuary cities.
McCarthy's bill does not include a provision to legalize so-called Dreamers, young undocumented immigrants brought to the country as children, or to help reunite migrant parents who remain separated from their children because of the Trump administration's zero-tolerance border security policy.
It's unclear if or when the House might vote on McCarthy's bill. Even if it passes, the proposal would almost certainly stall in the Senate, where Democrats who oppose the border wall and support a path to legal status for Dreamers can block any legislation requiring 60 votes to pass.
Politically, it could excite Republican voters ahead of the midterm elections next month. It also signals to GOP lawmakers in Congress that McCarthy supports a hard line on immigration.
ICYMI: Trump's Border Wall Shutdown Threats Continue, But Still Not Convincing Many Hill Republicans
McCarthy is one of the Republicans vying to lead the GOP conference next year as speaker or minority leader following the retirement of Speaker Paul D. Ryan, R-Wis. Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio is also in contention and Majority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana has expressed interest if McCarthy falters.
Trump wants funding for the border wall to be a post-election priority for Republican lawmakers, and has repeatedly said he would shut down the government if Congress doesn't approve it.
Both McCarthy's bill and the House's fiscal 2019 Homeland Security appropriations bill, which was approved in committee this summer but tabled until after the midterms, would appropriate $5 billion for border barriers in the current spending cycle, while the Senate's more bipartisan bill would approve $1.6 billion — the amount the Trump administration's budget requested.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told the Washington Examiner on Thursday he's planning to seek $5 billion for the wall after the elections.
Senate appropriators from both parties are skeptical, however, of McCarthy's legislation.
"They ought to have a straight up or down vote on it," said Sen. Patrick J. Leahy, D-Vt., the Senate Appropriations Committee ranking member. "I believe even today in the Republican-controlled House and Senate, it would not pass."
Senate Appropriations Chairman Richard C. Shelby, R-Ala., said he would want to read the legislation before making a final decision, but noted that appropriators are still trying to work out differences between the House and Senate Homeland Security spending bills.
"I'm not against the wall. I just hope what we do is wise — you know, the way we spend our money," Shelby said, noting that he expects a "big fight" during the lame duck "because of the different views" on border wall spending.
White House Guests KNEEL During National Anthem, Trump Makes Them Immediately Regret It
The Marine Corp band in their bright red uniforms were on the south balcony of the White House on a bright, sunny Tuesday in Washington, DC. The Army Chorus sang, beginning the event with 'America the Beautiful' and concluded with 'God Bless America'. At least two people who were guests at President Trump's Celebration of America event yesterday knelt, showing exactly why so many Americans are ticked over the National Anthem controversy.
The event replaced a celebration at the White House in honor of the Super Bowl win for the Philadelphia Eagles. These two disrespectful idiots took a knee as the "Star Spangled Banner" rang out across the South Lawn of the White House. Simply disgraceful. These aren't social justice warriors… these are unpatriotic jerks.
A video was posted to Twitter by a reporter for SVT, the Swedish national public TV broadcaster. It shows a man, wearing a light blue button down, kneeling as the National Anthem played, before clapping and ultimately coming to his feet after the song finished. I guess he thought that was his five minutes of fame or something.
Should President Trump shut the border down now with no more warnings about it or delay?

What it really amounted to was making a fool out of himself internationally. President Trump showcases all of these liberal dimwits for what they are… America-hating, radical leftists who are far more interested in hating our brave police officers and our country than they are in respecting America and taking national pride in their country and President.
When President Trump took the podium, he blew his audience away with his love for our country, military, police, flag and the National Anthem. He made every single person who disrespects them like this look like the small, craven liberals that they really are. The man, who did not identify himself, left the event immediately after the United States Marine Band performed the anthem, according to a news anchor for TV2 Denmark. Gee, crawling away with his tail between his legs like the lowly cur he his. Guess he couldn't stand patriotism after he showed how much he hates his own country.

There was a second man who was pictured kneeling as well. That was posted to Twitter by a CNN White House producer. He was wearing a light blue checkered shirt and had a little American flag. This guy was right up front. He was also apparently the same person who reportedly heckled Trump. That guy was roundly booed by everyone around him. CNN's analyst April Ryan posted false news on Twitter yesterday claiming people were booing Trump when it was the heckler they went after. She eventually retracted what she said after her own colleagues called her out on the lie. "Stop hiding behind the armed services and the National Anthem," the guy yelled to a chorus of boos, according to the Daily Mail. "Let's hear it for the Eagles." "Go home," one person shouted at the heckler.
Do YOU think we have the best President and First Lady ever? Follow Amanda Shea on Twitter to get RIGHT daily insight!
The President didn't engage the heckler, but looked in his direction and pursed his lips. He looked like he wanted to smack him. Right there with ya.
President Trump disinvited the Philadelphia Eagles to the White House after they at first said they had more than 70 players coming to the People's House to celebrate. By this week, that number had dropped to less than ten and then to only one player. They kept trying to change the date to one where President Trump would be out of the country. I don't blame the President in the least for canceling the visit. That was totally appropriate. If you insist on being ungrateful and insulting a sitting President of the United States, then you don't deserve the honor of going to the White House period.
Trump claimed on Monday that the team disagreed "with their President because he insists that they proudly stand for the National Anthem, hand on heart, in honor of the great men and women of our military and the people of our country." Eagles players denied that accusation, pointing out that no one on the team knelt for the anthem during last season. But that has nothing to do with how each individual on the team states his beliefs and shows his disrespect for President Trump.
The man who was booed after shouting @ POTUS also took a knee during the anthem but appears to also sing the anthem while kneeling, based on pic by Olivier Douliery/ TNS. (He was behind me & I didn't turn around until I heard him shouting) pic.twitter.com/qwuqpEXrOE
— Noah Gray (@NoahGrayCNN) June 5, 2018
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders accused the team of a "political stunt" just minutes before Tuesday's alternative event began, claiming the players had chosen to "abandon their fans." That's exactly what they did. "If this wasn't a political stunt by the Eagles franchise then they wouldn't have committed to attend the event and then backed out," she said in her Tuesday press briefing. "And if it wasn't a political stunt, they wouldn't have attempted to reschedule the visit while the President was overseas."
Trump was brief in his remarks and only spoke for about four minutes. He began by explaining why it's an issue of patriotism for Americans to stand for the National Anthem. "We love our flag and stand for our National Anthem," Trump said to great applause from the crowd on the South Lawn of the White House. "We stand to honor our military and to honor country and to honor the fallen heroes who never made it back home." Yes, we do… and those that don't can take a hike.

Melania Unveils This Year's White House Christmas Decorations That Libs Are SURE To Hate
Melania Trump's first year in office was marked by immense criticism of our incredible first lady, who in the eyes of the Trump family's numerous detractors, Melania could do nothing right, or at least as well as her predecessor, Michelle Obama. This included her full Christmas decor plan, which was stunning in silver and white, and a beautiful modern take on the same tired style that Michelle un-creatively came up with.
This year's decorations will likely be no different, if not worse.
Last year, liberals claimed she decked the halls in depression and gloom, likening it to looking more like a haunted house than a holiday home. So, what will they say about this year's new look?
Congrats, @MichelleObama, for reaching the highest level of arrogance in being offended that @FLOTUS didn't ask for your advice on doing the job. Don't worry, she learned what not to do by watching you.#MAGA #Trump2020 #MelaniaTrump #MichelleObama #FLOTUS
— Amanda Shea (@TheAmandaShea) November 13, 2018
Chicks On The Right reports:
FLOTUS doesn't just slay on the fashion front. Her decorating skills are off the charts. (Yes, yes– I know she didn't do this by herself, but if you really believe she didn't have a say, you're nuuuuuuuuuuuuts.)
ANYWHO. She finally unveiled this year's White House Christmas decorations, and they're GORGEOUS.
The People's House @WhiteHouse is ready to celebrate Christmas and the holiday season! pic.twitter.com/oejKW3mC15

You have no idea how much I want to stroll through those halls of beautifully decorated trees. Oh well. I'll have to settle for the aisles of Hobby Lobby.
The @WhiteHouse is sparkling for the Christmas season! pic.twitter.com/ncNhlkZAWl

No need to be angry or glum. Look on the bright side of life. So here 5 things that have me smile recently.
Ok I was going to do a 'what made me angry recently' post, cause trust me I have been quite an irritated angry bird. If it isn't waking up with back problem first thing in the morning, to being woken up by damn pigeons. On top of that, I have put on weight – instead of losing and my external hard drive decided not to work anymore. Which comes hot on the heel of my computer being a little funny. So yeah lots of first world problem folks. Cry me a river.
But I won't be crying a river. Far from it. I will instead take a deep breath and think about the 5 things that have made me smile recently. Cause after all, it way better to always look on the bright side of life. There's no need to be angry or glum. It not going to solve anything. So – be like me and turn that frown upside down.
Ahem. Anyway, let me tell you the 5 things that have made me smile recently.
England World Cup:
I don't care for football. Never have and quite frankly never will. For that I have no intention to watch the World Cup. But quickly frankly, from the cheers, the whistling and quite frankly the drunken responses I can hear from my neighbours I could very well be at a football match.
And you know what, just hearing the roar from people – is making me smile. Also it has been hilarious to read the responses on Twitter. As I write this, it England vs. Columbia and we have just won and latterly everyone on the street is singing 'it coming home, football coming home'. It just feels a really nice energy. Even a die-hard non-football fan like Richard is joining in – and when that happen, you know you on to something good.
One Long Heatwave:
So far this summer, it has been one long heatwave. Endless days of sunshine. And you know what? Even a summer moaner like me have been enjoying it. It just feels so nice to have heat on your skin and to wear some summer clothes.
Though I am looking forward to the thunderstorm when it happens.
Long Days Out with Richard:
Which does bring me to this point. This one long heatwave does mean I'm having long days out with Richard. It just been so nice to lie on the grass, look at the blue sky and not let anything worry you. It has been nice to go to an English Heritage site and explore new places.
Dove Summer Revived Body Lotions:
Since I reviewed Dove Summer Revived Body lotions, I have been using it a lot as it really does give me a summer glow. Another thing I really like is, it doesn't make my skin sticky and instead just make it soft and smooth.
Listening to Abba:
Ok feel free to laugh at me. But I recently stumbled across Abba Gold Greatest Hits on Spotify and it just make me fall in love with Abba all over again. I also been watching Mama Mia on Netflix, just so I can sing along to the songs. Why can't people make music like that anymore? Something that danceable and always will put you in a good mood. Oh to top it off, my niece is now a converted Abba fan and keep singing along to the songs. Love it.
Right I'm going to leave it there. Feel free to share on things have made you smile recently.

Kamala Harris on Crime
Democratic candidate for President; California Senator
A: I agree that the right to vote is one of the very important components of citizenship and it is something that people should not be stripped of needlessly, which is why I have been long an advocate of making sure that the formerly incarcerated are not denied a right to vote, in some states permanently deprived of the right to vote. These are policies that go back to Jim Crow. These are policies that go back to the heart of policies that have been about disenfranchisement, and we need to take it seriously.
Q: But those now in prison?
A: I think we should have that conversation.
Harris was asked if there should be "a federal equivalent" to Newsom's order. She said, "Yes, I think that there should be."
Asked if no one would be executed if Harris was president, she responded, "Correct, correct."
As California's attorney general, Harris defended the state's use of the death penalty. But in a statement this week, she said it is "immoral, discriminatory, ineffective, and a gross misuse of taxpayer dollars." She noted that black and Latino defendants were more likely to be executed than white defendants, as were poor defendants with poor legal representation versus wealthier defendants with good legal representation.
We need an America where no mother or father has to teach their son that people may stop him or kill him because of the color of his skin.
The strength of our union is in our diversity and our unity. We see the State of our Union in the formerly incarcerated individual who re-enters society looking to contribute and in the DREAMer who pursues her future in the face of uncertainty.
At the time, criminal justice policy was still trending toward things like harsher sentences or militarizing the police. More than a decade later, that attitude has, thankfully, evolved. Reentry programs like Back on Track are now part of the mainstream conversation. But in those days, I faced intensive backlash.
Though compassionate in its approach, Back on Track was intense by design. This was not a social welfare program. All of the first participants were nonviolent first-time offenders. Participants had to first plead guilty and accept the responsibility for the actions that had brought them there. We promised that if participants completed the program, we would have their charges expunged, which gave them more the reason to put in the effort. We hadn't designed a program that was about incremental improvement around the edges. It was about transformation.
In this country, you are innocent until proven guilty. The Bill of Rights explicitly prohibits excessive bail. That's what justice is supposed to look like.
What it should not look like is the system we have in America today. The median bail in the United States is $10,000. But in American households with an income of $45,000, the median savings account balance is $2,530. The disparity is so high that roughly 9 out of 10 people who are detained can't afford to pay to get out.
By its very design, the cash bail system favors the wealthy and penalizes the poor. If you can pay cash up front, you can leave, and when your trial is over, you'll get all your money back. If you can't afford it, you either languish in jail or have to pay a bail bondsman, which costs a steep fee you will never get back.
"Getting Smart on Crime does not mean reducing sentences or punishments for crimes," she explains in her book. As her website outlines, "Kamala believes that we must maintain a relentless focus on reducing violence and aggressively prosecuting violent criminals." Fittingly, when she became San Francisco DA, the felony conviction rate rose from 52 percent to 67 percent in three years.
Crime is not a monolith. Instead of a one-size-fits-all justice system, [we must] focus on the top of the pyramid and avoid treating all offenders the same. This approach has three pillars: maintain a relentless focus on reducing violence and prosecuting violent criminals, identify key points in the lives of young offenders to stop the escalation of criminal behavior, and support victims of crime.
Within her first 100 days in office, the Attorney General brought law enforcement leaders from across the state to California's border with Mexico to see firsthand the everyday problems that transnational gangs cause--the smuggling of guns, drugs and human beings across the border.
I believe that in the criminal justice system notions such as supply and demand, input and output, and looking for patterns are not abstract concepts. They tell us a lot about the effectiveness of what we're doing. When you measure, you can see quite clearly the results of making particular adjustments to complex systems. And we can apply the logic and principles of economics to fight against crime. It is crucial to ask how we can achieve the most safety for the lowest cost. We have spent billions of dollars on ineffective solutions that have not delivered the safety we must demand.
And today, more urgently than ever, I think all Americans want to spend our limited resources on those things that will deliver the most safety for the investment.
The problem is that we have been using only the tools best suited to combatting the offenders at the top of the pyramid, and we have been using them on the entire crime pyramid. Most nonviolent offenders are learning the wrong lesson, and in many cases, they are becoming better and more hardened criminals during their prison stays.
It's time to rock the crime pyramid.
These lower-in-the-pyramid offenders often have no job skills, and far more often than not are addicted to drugs. We quite appropriately arrest them when they offend and re-offend, but then we warehouse them in jails, which pushes them deeper into the grip of gangs and the culture of hardened criminals.
The Chris Kelly campaign, in an effort to emphasize the San Francisco DA's refusal to enforce the law, released a video that shows Harris telling an astonished reporter for the local KTVU news station that "she had never seen a case that merited pursuing the death penalty during her time as District Attorney."
Marianne WILLIAMSON: All of these issues are extremely important, but they are specifics; they are symptoms. And the underlying cause has to do with deep, deep, deep realms of racial injustice, both in our criminal justice system and in our economic system.
Kamala HARRIS: As the only black person on this stage, I would like to speak on the issue of race. Race is still not being talked about truthfully and honestly. There is not a black man I know, be he a relative, a friend or a coworker, who has not been the subject of some form of profiling or discrimination. Growing up, my sister and I had to deal with the neighbor who told us her parents couldn't play with us because we were black.
Harris addressed her law enforcement background in her book. She argued it was a "false choice" to decide between supporting the police and advocating for greater scrutiny of law enforcement. She wrote, "When activists came marching & banging on the doors, I wanted to be on the other side to let them in."
Harris supported legislation that passed the Senate last year that overhauled the criminal justice system, particularly when it comes to sentencing rules.
I knew the history of brave prosecutors who went after the Klu Klux Klan in the South. I also knew the legacy of Robert Kennedy, who, as U.S. attorney general, sent Department of Justice officials to protect the Freedom Riders in 1961.
I knew quite well that equal justice was an aspiration. I knew that the force of the law was applied unevenly, sometimes by design. But I also knew that what was wrong with the system didn't need to be an immutable fact. And I wanted to be a part of changing that.
Whether or not someone can get bailed out of jail shouldn't be based on how much money he has in the bank. Or the color of his skin: black men pay 35 percent higher bail than white men for the same charge. Latino men pay nearly 20 percent more. This isn't the stuff of coincidences. It is systematic. And we have to change it.
In 2017, I introduced a bill in the Senate to encourage states to replace their bail systems, moving away from arbitrarily assigning cash bail and systems where a person's actual risk of danger or flight is evaluated. If someone poses a threat to the public, we should detain them. If someone is likely to flee, we should detain them. But if not, we shouldn't be in the business of charging money for liberty.
If there aren't serious consequences for police brutality in our justice system, what kind of a message does it send to the community? Public safety depends on public trust.
But when black and brown people are more likely to be stopped, arrested, and convicted than their white counterparts; when police departments are outfitted like military regiments; when egregious use of deadly force is not met with consequence, is it any wonder that the very credibility of these public institutions is on the line?
I say this as someone who has spent most of my career working with law enforcement. I say this as someone who has a great deal of respect for police officers. It is a false choice to suggest that you must either be for the police or for police accountability. I am for both. Most people I know are for both.
Harris, whose own department is the first statewide agency to adopt a body camera program, waded into an issue that has sparked intense debate at the Capitol. One measure, Assembly Bill 66, has undergone several revisions to permit police officers in most jurisdictions to review footage captured on the cameras before giving a report of an incident involving force.
"We have a history in this country that we can be proud of and then there's a part of the history that we are not proud of," Harris said, adding, "But we also have to acknowledge that the relationship of trust is a reciprocal relationship, and everyone has a responsibility to be a part of leading that effort."
As Harris launched her presidential bid, she said she was running as a "progressive prosecutor." But she has drawn scrutiny from some liberals for "tough on crime" positions she held as a California prosecutor, with her stance on the death penalty among those issues.
As a district attorney in 2004, she drew national headlines with her decision not to seek the death penalty for the killer of a San Francisco police officer. That decision, announced days after the officer's death, enraged local law enforcement officials
However, a decade later, she appealed a judge's decision declaring California's death penalty law unconstitutional. While Harris has personally opposed the death penalty, she has said that she defended the law as a matter of professional obligation.

Today we'd like to introduce you to Dawn Spolidoro, RN.
Dawn, let's start with your story. We'd love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I've been a registered nurse since 1987 and during that time I've worked in a hospital, as a visiting nurse, I've also worked in a doctor's office & now I work from home. I have been married for 29 years, have three children, and 2 grandchildren. I never really enjoyed working in a hospital because there was never enough time to spend with my patients. I then started working as a visiting nurse while I raised my children because it was flexible enough to fit into our lives. I enjoyed that & thought I would retire from visiting nursing, but I spent more time on the paperwork then I did with my patients & that wasn't fulfilling. In 2010 a friend introduced me to The Juice Plus+ Company & it made sense to me because I knew my family wasn't getting enough fruits & vegetables in our diets every day and we were constantly at the doctors. The business made sense because of its flexibility and it fit perfectly into our busy lives, plus I could earn some money to cover the cost of our families Juice Plus+. Then I thought if it made sense to me, then it will make sense for other families and I started spreading the word. I also started going to Juice Plus+ educational events to find out more about it seeing it was now my business venture. I fell in love with the information I was hearing, I loved the people I met and the culture of the company.
The rest is history because now I've made it my career to align myself with The Juice Plus+ Company & use their products as a vehicle to help as many people as I can with their health issues & also their financial issues. This company is like no other network marketing company out there. I'm so glad that I have a business that is foundational because everyone needs to take control of their health at some point in their lives. There are 2 quotes that I love, "If you don't take care of your body where else are you going to live?" and "If your lifestyle doesn't control your body, eventually your body will control your lifestyle." These quotes are short sweet and to the point. In today's world everyone is extremely busy, and our economy is very challenging. Many people are searching for a plan B because plan A isn't allowing people to enjoy life like they hoped to. The Juice Plus+ Company does that by helping as many people as possible realize their dreams and this mission is what inspires me every day to change lives for the better.
We're always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we've spoken with enough people to know that it's not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
No, it hasn't been a smooth road but most things in life that are worthwhile usually challenge us. When I first learned about Juice Plus+ ten years ago it made perfect sense to me because I knew my family was not getting enough fruits & vegetables every day. I've always wanted to own my own business, so I jumped on board as a consultant for The Juice Plus+ Company. What I didn't realize was that most people don't understand the need to take care of themselves BEFORE a chronic illness shows up. It's all about PREVENTION and most people are so busy that they don't have time to think about the things they can do to prevent a chronic illness in the future. That's where I come in to help them. Even though I had always wanted to own my own business I had no business background whatso ever. Because I knew that this was a weakness of mine I joined a business networking group in 2010. It was the best thing I did because it helped me to build confidence in myself so that I can pass on what I've learned to others who join my team and start their own Juice Plus+ business. When you surround yourself with other business owners you learn new things, try new things and learn from our mistakes. I'm still part of that group today which has served me well.
We'd love to hear more about your business.
I'm a network marketing professional, a registered nurse, and an independent consultant for The Juice Plus+ Company. The Juice Plus+ Company makes whole food nutritional products for the entire family that come in capsules or chewable. They also have protein powders and bars. They even have a Tower Garden that allows people to grow their own food. The produce used in the Juice Plus+ produce are non-GMO & no pesticides or herbicides are used. I specialize in nutrition & educate people on the health benefits of eating more plants. I attend seminar's & conferences throughout the year to keep up with the latest research & health benefits of adding more fruits & vegetables to our diets. I meet with businesses, healthcare providers and individuals who are looking to add a whole food nutritional product to their diet and/or their practice that add a health component & a second stream of income to their business or home. This opportunity is also perfect for stay at home moms who are health minded & are looking for a way to get more fruits & vegetables into their kids. The Juice Plus+ Company also has a Children's Health Study program where kids can get Juice Plus+ for FREE. The company is truly investing in our children's well-being by giving them Juice Plus+ through this program.
I'm most proud to be associated with The Juice Plus+ Company because our mission is to Inspire Healthy Living around the world. I'm so excited to be part of this mission because people have so much more control over their health then they realize. The current research is telling us that we can control our health outcome depending on how well we take care of our bodies. The Juice Plus+ products are convenient fuel for our bodies that guarantee a variety of over 30 plants. Our company has also started a Healthy Living Revolution campaign that allows us to get the word out to as many people as possible about our mission and our whole food nutritional products. You won't find anything about Juice Plus+ advertised on tv or in magazines because our business is based on forming relationships, getting to know people, and helping them on their health journey.
There are many qualities that set me apart from others but the top three would be my nursing background, my common-sense approach to nutrition, and a desire to learn. I feel as though I can relate to anyone's health situation because of my background and the experiences I've faced & will continue to face with my own health journey. We are always molding our journey around the latest research as to how we can best take care of our bodies so that we can live life to the fullest.
All my experiences over the years have given me the skills to help people on a higher level. I'm a good listener & I always try to put myself in the other person's shoes. Every client is on a different health journey & I'm there to meet them where they are at. Some people are just starting out & some have been doing it for a while. I also think my non-judgmental attitude comes in handy when people are sharing what they need help with in terms of their health. I absolutely love my business because I'm so passionate about sharing what I have learned over the years with others, so they can share the information with their friends & family. That's how we keep this Healthy Revolution campaign going so that more & more adults & children live healthy lives.
What were you like growing up?
What quality or characteristic do you feel is most important to your success?
I think the best word that describes why I've been successful is… perseverance. The definition for perseverance is steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. This definition sums up my story very well because once I commit to something I never give up. I went to nursing school which wasn't easy, but I stuck with it & graduated. I raised 3 children which had its ups & downs and now I have 3 very successful adult children that I'm very proud of. Then there is my business which is challenging because of the struggles I spoke of earlier and very rewarding because I'm making a difference in other people's lives when it comes to their health & their family's health. That in of itself is the greatest success of all ~ helping others, it's in my blood, it's my passion. that's why I became a nurse in the first place.

Li Lei, a former factory worker who found fame last year with a gushing serenade to disgraced politician Bo Xilai, launched his satirical take on the "Chinese Dream" on Monday with a song about Xi Jinping's blueprint for the world's most populous nation.
The song was dedicated to Mr Xi's wife, the glamorous PLA singer Peng Liyuan. "The Chinese dream is not a dream of dictatorship. The Chinese dream is not a dream of totalitarianism," Mr Li sings in one verse.
"The Chinese dream is not a dream of corrupt officials. The Chinese dream is a dream of the people," he continues.
Unsurprisingly, the song appears to have gone down badly among China's legions of internet censors.
"The song has been blocked," the prolific composer complained on Wednesday.
There was no sign of the track on China's leading online search-engine, Baidu, but a version had been posted on YouTube, which is blocked in China.
Since taking over as Communist Party chief last November, Mr Xi has adopted the "Chinese Dream" as his key slogan. State media has described the concept as China's newest "guiding philosophy".
"The Chinese dream is the dream of the people," Mr Xi proclaimed in March. "We must realize it by closely depending on the people, and we must incessantly bring benefits to the people."
Mr Li, the censored singer, said he was unimpressed with the concept. "China has been dreaming the Chinese dream for over 60 years," he said. "There have been so many dreams that we don't really believe in them anymore."
On Wednesday, state media said Communist leaders had decided to cement the phrase's place in their party's lexicon by devising an official "interpretation of the term 'Chinese dream'".
"'The Chinese dream' means to uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics," reported the state-run Global Times newspaper. "The realization of the 'Chinese dream' must be carried forward with patriotism, reform and innovation."
Beijing-based academics would soon begin publishing theoretical textbooks about "The Chinese Dream", the newspaper said, adding: "Related TV series, stage dramas and music are also on the way."
Mr Li's outlawed song is unlikely to feature in the official repertoire, despite initially proving an online hit.
"Many internet-users have told me the song reflected their thoughts," he said, adding: "Some have said it is the best song they have heard for the past 60 years."

"Hey baby."
"Nice butt. You workout?"
"Your eyes, they're SO exotic."
"Uhm, sure, I'll move."
I have just committed every sin imaginable on their harassment scorecard. So says the Feminist Action Club at Sierra College. That's right, a harassment scorecard. According to their statement (linked at the end of this blog), they have created a non-confrontational way for those who feel sexually harassed to address situations without having to speak up or further escalate into a more inflammatory tone. A card with a checklist is provided to the offending harasser to politely but specifically let them know that they have done something to make the victim feel harassed or threatened, and under no uncertain terms, identifies it as harassment and demands it to stop.
This card makes me want to harass somebody. Look, I was raised to respect and honor the role that women and men both play in our society. Yes, there ARE ROLES. If there weren't male and female roles, we would cease to exist. We need women to be women and we need men to be men. We need women and men to interact socially and sexually in order to procreate and continue as a species. If this feminist trend continues, human life will cease to exist. We will become extinct. I've seen this movie before. The robots will take over.
The idea that commenting on the attractiveness of someone else's ass has turned into sexual harassment (hey, wait....... her "ass" ment - damn, I never thought about it that way) is a farce, and de-legitimizes ACTUAL sexual harassment caused by those who truly need help with boundaries (cough-cough Bill Clinton cough-cough). That this is originating from a college campus is no surprise, but it gives the appearance of being educational, which again, is a farce. The only education that the sexual harassment card provides is a theory of beta-male dominance - an oxymoron to the Nth degree.
If you Google "what do women want" (well, if you are Googling that, you have other issues entirely, but I digress), you'll find hundreds of thousands of references geared towards trying to understand a woman's psyche. When I was a kid, "Google" was my dad, or my best friend, or that Taylor Swift female friend-character from her You Belong With Me video. But no matter where you go to try to figure out women, the task suits only one ultimate purpose - to figure out how to get in their pants.
That's all modern feminism has become - a way to stop men from getting into women's pants.
Just stop, feminism. You're drunk. And you're gonna end the human race.
