How to Make String Bracelets: Classic Spiral Friendship Bracelet
When you first think of friendship bracelets, you probably picture the classic embroidery floss bracelets that we all learned to make as kids. Easy to make and fun to wear, there's something about those simple string bracelets that is just so fun and nostalgic. Of course, no collection of friendship bracelet patterns would be complete without some traditional string bracelets, and in this eBook, you'll find designs that harken back to your playground days. The Classic Spiral Friendship Bracelet is one of the most basic friendship bracelet patterns of all and is probably the one most of us first learned how to make. In case your memory has gotten a little rusty over the years, you can find the full step-by-step instructions for this old-school string bracelet design when you download your free eBook. These bracelets are totally accessible for all ages, so pass on the tradition by teaching the little ones in your life how to make string bracelets with the simple patterns found in this free project collection.
Macrame Bracelet Patterns: Jeweled Macrame Bracelet
Made from various knotting techniques, all friendship bracelet patterns are technically macrame, but in addition to embroidery floss bracelets, this free eBook includes macrame bracelet patterns in the traditional sense as well. You'll find a half knot twist pattern in this collection, as well as square knot patterns, like the Jeweled Macrame Bracelet. This macrame friendship bracelet design incorporates antique jewels for a bit of glamor and lends itself easily to layering, so feel free to make a bunch and stack them up on your arm. There's even room for personalization with this pattern; you can play around with color combinations by using different gems and cords. Embrace the full meaning of the friendship bracelet concept by making some in your BFF's favorite colors (but don't forget to spoil yourself as well!). Find the full tutorial for this and other macrame bracelet patterns when you grab your free copy of this collection.
Braided Friendship Bracelet Patterns: Revamped "Tie-Dye" Friendship Bracelets
The beauty of friendship bracelets is that they are so quick and easy to create, and nothing could be easier than making braided friendship bracelets. No fancy macrame knotting is required with braided bracelet designs, making them perfect for lazy summer crafting days with your pals. If you're looking for super easy patterns that require minimal effort and prior knowledge, then try some of the braided friendship bracelet patterns in this collection, such as the Revamped "Tie-Dye" Friendship Bracelets. These bracelets keep it interesting by using different colors of embroidery floss for a fun faux "tie-dye" effect. Plus, the addition of charms leaves plenty of room for personalization, so you can be sure no two bracelets will look alike. Play around with the classic friendship bracelet concept by trying this friendship bracelet "remix," which is perfect for kids and adults alike. Download your free eBook to find even more ways to use braiding in your friendship bracelet designs.
Beaded Friendship Bracelet Patterns: Punch and Judy Friendship Bracelet
If simple string bracelets seem like a snore, don't despair; this collection includes beaded friendship bracelet patterns too! Working some beads into your friendship bracelet designs helps keep things interesting and amps up the style level, as with this Punch and Judy Friendship Bracelet. Inspired by a designer piece, this knockoff jewelry project once again reinvents the classic concept of the friendship bracelet for a look that is super stylish yet still rooted in the friendship bracelet tradition. The wire-woven beads give this pattern a loomwork feel that is oh so boho chic. Keep it eclectic with an assortment of colors, as this design shows, or see what other color combinations you can come up with. You'll find this and other ways to work beads in your friendship bracelets among the patterns in this free collection.

Very nice idea. I sometimes take projects to the nursing home and show them how to do this sort of thing. The therapist says it's great for their motor skills and range of motion. I just know it makes them happy and let's them know they are not old and useless anymore.thank you.

As a former teacher and therapist, friendship bracelets would make a super group project for a browniemormgirl scout group or craft camp! Great ememories and keepsakes, like the Punch and Judy which gives a real loom look, to the spiral, and jeweled macrame and revamped tie-dye would be so much fun to make, give and to wear! Thanks for a super collection!

|Quoin Island Turtle Rehabilitation Centre is Gladstone's first permanent marine turtle rehabilitation facility, being fully open and operational since March of 2012. Natural occurences and human interference are a major threat to the marine turtle population world wide, and recent extreme weather events in our region has exacerbated the precarious situation of our native turtles.
With previously no dedicated rehabilitation facility within 500km of the Gladstone Harbour, Quoin Island Retreat owner and island resident Bob McCosker saw a greater service his newly established facility could provide. With many years experience as a volunteer wildlife carer, and the support of Australian Animals Care and Education Inc (AACE), Bob constructed and now runs Central Queensland's first facility.
Quoin Island Turtle Rehabilitation Centre consists of multiple containment tanks, a 9 metre swimming pool and a newly constructed treatment and dry dock room. QITRC is licenced to rehabilitate up to ten marine turtles at any one time. The majority of turtles received to the hospital have been green turtles, but the carers have also rehabilitated hawskbill turtles, flatback turtles and even a baby loggerhead!
Registered under the charity organisation AACE, QITRC is 100 per cent locally owned and operated, built by the motivation and initiative of locals with a concern for our marine wildlife. A large portion of centre duties are covered by a team of trained community volunteers.
The establishment of Quoin Island Turtle Rehabilitation Centre was supported by Bob personally, and since then, corporate sponsorship, fundraising, volunteer support and the annual QITRC Gala Benefit have all contributed to cover the extensive costs associated with running a facility of this kind. The daily costs of food, medication, cleaning supplies, power and water are considerable in themselves, coupled with transportation costs of volunteers and of animals, facility expansions and improvements, surgical procedures and veterinarian bills.
Have you spotted an ill or injured turtle?

What focussed my mind on this is that today is the cover reveal for my new novel, psychological thriller 'Three Steps Behind You.' That's quite a milestone, and the sort of day you would like to celebrate with your other half. I've had other occasions like that - for instance, when I was making my directorial debut of a play that I'd written, and at the last moment my Sailor was deployed unexpectedly, so couldn't see it.
Here are my tips to deal with this sort of scenario:
1. Share remotely as best you can. Make sure your Sailor knows how special the day is. Sometimes you can lose track of days/ events when you are working hard at sea. Remind him a couple of days in advance about the event, and then on the day itself he'll be primed to call or e-mail you to share in the celebrations. And if he can't get in touch, he'll at least be thinking of you! Plus you can also save a memento of the event. He'll be just as gutted as you are that he has to miss out on the event. Send photos afterwards, or any celebratory material that will keep, so he can see it.
2. Celebrate the event in your own right. I try to schedule events like launches so that my Sailor can be there. But there are some events, like birthdays, for which you can't really control the timing. Don't be disheartened, or scrap your plans - gather your friends, family and colleagues around you, and get excited about the event itself. If it's a great achievement, or a milestone, the question of who is or isn't there doesn't change that. You have something to celebrate independently.
3. Manage your own expectations. Sometimes it looks like your Sailor will be able to attend, and then suddenly plans will change. As I mentioned above, my Sailor was meant to be able to come to the opening night of my new play, but then there was an emergency and his ship had to deploy. These things do happen, and you need to have a little place in your heart that is hardened to that possibility, so that if it happens you don't get overwrought and you can still enjoy your special event. The 'keep calm and carry on' mentality, if you will. Happily, this time round it looks like my Sailor will be able to come to my book launch party, but I've pre-armed myself in my heart for the possibility he may not make it. If he can be there, that will make it that extra bit special.
4. Reciprocate. A lot of our thinking can be about whether or not our Sailor will be there for our special event. But there are also events that our Sailors have that are important. For instance, a military ball, a ceremony, or a cocktail party. Just as you expect him to commit to coming to your events, you need to commit to his. Sometimes there will be a straight diary clash, or it won't be practicable. When you can make it there, though, you should. There needs to be a covenant for those really important events that you will each try your damndest to be there - and don't break that covenant unless you must.
5. Have your own celebration. If you or your Sailor can't make each other's big day, then schedule your own celebration another time, with a nice lunch or a dinner. For instance, last week was the first Valentine's Day in 12 years that my Sailor and I have managed to spend together - he's either been away or about to deploy and surrounded by family. We've always managed to exchange cards another time and have our own romantic dinner in lieu after the event. If it's a birthday, you can get each other a whole new birthday cake if need be.
So whatever you're celebrating, make sure you enjoy it. And thank you for celebrating cover-reveal day with me!

Remote Controls
|Brilliant Concepts Int'l Ltd offers an interesting range of 8-in-1 universal remote controls featuring unusual shapes and designs with brightly-coloured buttons
The world's consumers can't get enough of the handy little devices that make life with electronic products so much easier and more efficient
Just about any electrical appliance can now be activated or deactivated with the touch of a button, which is a convenience for most and a godsend for others such as the elderly and infirm.
However, all remote controls are not created equal according to Ultra Electronic Co Manager Alex Khan, who says buyers should look for quality, reliability and design.
"When people buy remote controls, they want a product that can really control the devices specified, and with all the keys working," Mr Khan maintains.
He says there are products in the market that can be sourced cheaply, but the user finds some of the keys are dummies when they go to a menu function.
"Our components are sourced from Korea and Taiwan and are built to last," Mr Khan claims. "Our products are reliable, durable and designed by our own team here in Hong Kong."
He recommends his company's Universal Remote Control (UET-616) as the one-stop device for operating all AV stations, from TVs to DVDs and satellite or cable receiver systems.
"This device lets the user switch to any new component of his home theatre with one key," Mr Khan explains. "It's also handy if the user has two TVs and wants to operate each independently."
Mr Khan says Ultra Electronic customises designs to suit the demands of the client. "Younger people tend to go for something that's stylish and has more functions, whereas older folk might like larger buttons and simplicity of operation," he notes.
He recommends the Touch Screen Universal Remote Control (UET-800) for the younger market, with features that include customising the key layout functions to suit the user's own preference.
Ultra Electronic also has an interesting new product in the R&D phase. "At present all RCs are pre-coded, but we're developing a product that will allow the user to update codes from our website on a regular basis, and also delete old or useless codes," Mr Khan claims.
The older audience is also the focus of Ewig Mfg Co Ltd, which had the elderly in mind when it designed its Touch Panel Jumbo Remote (RTN361).
The first of its kind, according to Marketing Manager Lorraine Wong, the Jumbo is a universal remote control with an extra large and simply designed keypad for easier reading and operation. "A major feature is the light key which provides an illuminated background so that the individual keys can be read more easily," she says.
Ewig has also added a service key that causes the remote to beep and the LED indicator to flash for five seconds when pressed, which acts as an easy alert system that the user may need help. "This model is proving popular in the US and Europe," Ms Wong observes.
Taking a different approach is Ansen Electronics Co, whose focus is on remote-control products for household appliances. "They can be applied to a number of options, from TVs to coffee machines, but we find that controlling household lighting is the most popular use," says Senior Business Development Manager Karen Au.
A popular set of remote controls includes the RF On/Off Receiver with Timer (model 9133), the RF Hand-Held Remote Control and RF Key Ring Remote Control.
"This set sells well, particularly with the RF Key Ring Remote Control, because users can take it with them," Ms Au reveals, noting that it's easier to walk straight into a house with the lights on.
The RF On/Off Receiver with Timer is also popular as a standalone item thanks to its dual function, which allows it to act as both a remote control and a timer that switches appliances on and off automatically. "Our devices have a range of 30-75 metres," Ms Au adds.
Similarly concerned with household chores, Capital Prospect Ltd has researched remote control products in the US to develop its Garage Door Remote Control (Visor) (model G6VR).
This handy device has a cover designed to clip on to the sunvisor of the car, so it is protected from the sun and always handy when needed. "It's part of our new garage door series that is aimed at the American market, but is suitable for other countries as well," says Sales and Marketing Executive Yvonne Lam.
She explains that American homes normally have a wall button inside the garage that controls the motor which opens and closes the garage door. "These products usually come with a remote control, but we are promoting our products as items that can be used alongside these remotes," Ms Lam says. "As many as 15 of our remotes can pair up with an existing remote control system."
She believes the G6VR's advantages are obvious for homes with more than one car and businesses using a number of vehicles, and the company's research has shown great interest in the new product. "Mini key chain remote models are also available," Ms Lam adds, noting that all Capital Prospect's products have a 60-metre range.
Whatever the use, there's clearly a remote control unit available from Hong Kong manufacturers that lets consumers all around the world take charge of their electronic devices.

Look back in anger
I must admit, things have seemed pretty bleak since last November and the election of Bully Supreme. Why, then, did I burst out laughing when I heard some of the provisions of the new "Cut, cut, cut" tax bill? It is so extreme, so heartless that crying would be a more appropriate response. Well… it just reminded me of when I was much younger, learning English not just in school but through pop music and film. Do any of you remember the lyrics to this …Read More »

Cooking time: 25 mins
I lived in Italy for a while when I was younger where I sampled many a plate of delicious pasta with sausage and tomato sauce. It took me quite a lot of time, research and experimenting to find a recipe of my own which I liked as much, but here it is! I hope you like it as much as I do!
- 6 good quality pork sausages
- 1 jar of passata
- fresh basil leaves
- half teaspoon of sugar
- salt & pepper
- garlic (optional)
- a splash of red wine
Use your favourite sausages for this recipe, but they need to be really nice good quality sausages or it just won't work. I like pork sausages with some garlic in them, but you can always add some extra garlic if you can't get any of these.
Squeeze the sausage meat out of the skins and into a non-stick frying pan. Gently fry the sausage meat (you won't need to add any oil for this). Break the sausage meat up with a wooden spoon so that it's not too lumpy.
Once the meat is browned add a splash of red wine and let it bubble for a minute or two. Then add the passata, sugar,and salt and pepper to taste.
Let the sauce bubble away for about 20 minutes while you cook the pasta of your choice – I like penne with this.
Sprinkle with freshly shredded basil and a sprinkling of fresh parmesan.
Then serve with the rest of your bottle of wine!

Zarif's deputies, Abbas Araqchi and Majid Takht Ravanchi, are accompanying Zarif during the visit.
More than 500 participants are expected to attend the event where Zarif is scheduled to address the conference.
Zarif is also to exchange views with presidents and foreign ministers of a number of the participating countries as well as owners of economic enterprises on the sidelines of the security conference.
In relevant remarks on Friday, Zarif had said that Iran had prepared the necessary infrastructure for long-term cooperation with the European Union.
Zarif, who was addressing a group of European bankers, financiers, investors, industrialists and traders on the sidelines of the 52nd Munich Security Conference held to discuss ongoing crises and future challenges to international security, added that post-sanctions Iran is more than ever prepared to extend all-out ties with its European partners.
He, however, warned that Tehran has no intention to become a consumer market for European products and services.
Sanctions against Iran - the world's fourth largest oil producer - were lifted after the UN atomic watchdog announced the country had complied with the terms of last July's landmark deal aimed at scaling down its nuclear program.
Iran is now pushing full throttle to re-establish business with the rest of the world as Western companies move to renew ties abandoned during economic sanctions that largely ended after the nuclear deal.

Raising children these days exposes parents to so many more challenges than the ones faced by our parents. Don't get me wrong…I'm not saying it is more difficult. I'm just saying it is different. While we face so many challenges that have arisen due to the increase in technology, we have also gained a number of tools that can make things easier…if we know what they are and how to use them. Today, I'm going to introduce you to one that I think is amazing.
Let me begin by saying that when it comes to parenting, I don't mind being the bad guy. My three children are 13, 11, and 5. The 13 year old is the only one with a phone (and at this point, the only one who spends much time away from us). We made it clear to her that we would monitor her phone – not because we didn't trust her, but because we didn't trust others.
The app I am talking about is called MamaBear. If you would like to know where your child is without having to call or text and ask….if you are concerned about what is happening on his or her social media accounts…if your child just started driving and you want to make sure he or she is not speeding…if your child rides with other teens and you want to make sure they are not driving too fast with your child into the car…if there is a particular place you want to make sure your child does not go…if you just want to know when your child arrives safely at school each day and you know they won't remember to text you…this is the app for you. If you are worried about offending your child, this is not.
I have the feeling that most teens would be a little aggravated if you told them you were installing this app on their phone. Luckily mine was not, but let me be clear – I would've put it on her phone even if she was. I take this parenting thing seriously, and my number one priority is her safety.
I first learned of this app from my brother. He lives in Knoxville, and his son drives himself and his brother to school each day. I was at their house for a visit, and my brother received a text telling him that his son had arrived at school. I asked how he got the text, and he explained the basics of his app to me. I knew right away that I had to have it.
Let me explain some of the awesome features. First, you can view on a map where your child is at all times. The map is like Google maps – you can zoom in and view a basic map, or a satellite or hybrid view. You can then name the place as a "safe place" and receive alerts when your child arrives at or departs from the place. You can also send a message to your child using the app. When he or she replies, it will give you the street name of his or her location. I love the idea that I can click the app at any time and see exactly where my child is.
The app also gives you the ability to monitor quite a few social media accounts. It can monitor Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. You can have it alert you if your child adds friends/followers, if anyone tags or mentions them, if they upload a photo, and you can list restricted words to watch for and receive an alert if they mention any of those words in a post. If your child has an android phone, you can even use it to monitor texts.
The last feature that I am super excited about is the driving feature. You can set a speed limit for your child (whether they are the driver or a passenger with someone else driving) and receive alerts anytime they exceed that speed limit.
I realize this app is not for everyone. Many of you will feel like this is an invasion of your child's privacy and that is certainly your decision. We each get to approach this parenting thing in the way that we feel works best for us. I am simply sharing this information for the other parents like me who would find this useful. Ithis a free app, so if you think this might be something you would like, go check it out on the App Store.
If you already use it, let me know what you think. Do any of you use a different app that has similar features? I would love to hear what others are out there and what you think of them.

Without engineering standards, bridges would fall down and buildings would collapse. Without
application development standards, systems will break down and system life spans will be limited.
Our objective is to generate software that is cost effective, scalable, customizable and extensible.
Standards make that possible.
Surround Technologies maintains a set of Application Development Standards and Techniques that guide
most of our development and user interfaces. They have been developed to fulfill two major goals: to
provide high quality applications for our clients and their users; and to be effective at a low cost.
While we encourage individual creativity, the goal of every developer is to produce
software that adheres to the current interface standards and is consistent with that
being produced by the rest of the team. The developer should always consider both the
business end users of the software and the future developers that may need to enhance it.
Our developers understand that many business end users of varying skill sets may ultimately
use each piece of software we develop. The look, feel and overall usability of the interface
will impact the experience of those users.
Our developers also understand that all developers have to maintain and enhance each other's
code. Consistency, readability and reusability make that job easier for everyone while also
reducing the cost and time involved in future maintenance and enhancement.
As with all standards, there will be times when it is necessary to make modifications in order
to get better performance from the application. We encourage all developers on the team to
suggest new techniques and methods to help us improve our standards. If a developer has a
good idea and shares it then the whole team can make use of it.
Although the Surround Technologies Application Development Standards have proven effective we
recognize how important a client's own standards are best. No problem. Our developers will be on-board.
"We'll shortly have everything that was on our list, and we have just
begun to recognize that there are more things that we could wish for; and they're
very do-able now. Maybe we'll get another 30 years out of this architecture."

In the Fall of 9 CE, 25 year old Hermann, along with his alliance of Germanic tribes, ambushed and destroyed Varus' Army in the Battle of Teutoburg Forest, which took place near Kalkriese Hill, north of Osnabruck, Germany. When it was clear that defeat was eminent, Varus committed suicide by falling upon his own sword.
Today, we raise our horns in remembrance of Hermann, symbol of Germanic unity and preserver of the freedom on northern Germany and Scandinavia!

In this graphic memoir, a Midwestern preacher's son loses his faith and discovers art.
Both the style and tone of this coming-of-age narrative sustain an engaging naïveté, even as the young son who is the author becomes a father himself, and the deceptively simple story encompasses three generations of male Browns, who may or may not discover the answers to life's biggest questions in church. The creatively prolific Brown (Funny Misshapen Body, 2009, etc.) has extended his talents into film, animation and broadcasting (on NPR's This American Life), and he also teaches comics at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Yet there is nothing artistically flashy or academic in this understated, matter-of-fact memoir, which begins, in darkness leading to a glimmer of light (over six large panels): "When I was little, I believed in God. At least I think I did. At some point I realized that I didn't believe. And I hadn't in a long time. If ever. It doesn't mean I don't believe in something bigger than myself." Such an introduction leaves a lot of open space for interpretation, and the rest of the narrative, in panels not considerably larger than postage stamps, proceeds to fill in some of it, though by no means all. It's a story of church, camps and missions, then college, art, museums, sexual awakening and fatherhood, where a son might receive different answers than the father, who is the author, received from his own father. Brown dedicates the memoir to his father and son, and love for both permeates the pages, where epiphanies are small, revelations conventional, and neither the artist nor the challenges he faces ever seem larger than life.
Intermittently engaging, but there are more questions than answers here.

I'm going to have to ask my 12-year-old about this one. The new Sony PlayStation2 game, Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando has a "character-growth system" (I'm such an old-school geek that I still associate the term with pre-PC-era Dungeons and Dragons) that allows players to earn "nanotech" points. Maybe there's some vague notion of a self-assembly process going on here, since these nanotech units can be earned if your character defeats its enemies.
This, of course, is more evidence that "nano" is the word du jour that connects with kids (and you know Sony doesn't release any new game without running every feature by a series of testers and focus groups).
I've written previously about the nano-generation here, here and here.
But back to the new PlayStation2 game, I always thought "going commando" referred to … um … keeping your nanopants closer to your skin.

My love for travel began at a very early age, when I would visit family living across Europe and North America. Seeing new places and experiencing different ways of life sparked a desire to travel the world and discover as much as possible. I began compiling a list of places I wanted to visit, with India right at the very top.
I had been captivated by India since childhood – the vibrant colours, mystical temples and romantic vistas seemed so exotic and I was desperate to visit. My chance finally came in 2012 when I travelled to India and enjoyed my first experience of Rajasthan.
Since then, I have travelled extensively across the region and enjoyed some time in the tropical state of Kerala, falling in love with the country, the wonderful people and incredible food a little more each time!
My love affair with Bermuda started when my parents moved to the island in 2011. I have since spent as much time as possible on the magical crescent – shaped island enjoying its spectacular coast line, wonderful people and unique culture. Every time I visit I am reminded how stunningly beautiful it is and how hard it is to leave!
When I'm not daydreaming about my next trip, you can find me developing my photography project FACES which sets out to capture the faces of people I meet along my journey, cooking up a storm for my family and training for Triathlons! Check out my travel snaps on my FACES archive…
India & Bermuda
"Set your alarm early and head out at dawn, particularly in the cities. It is a wonderful opportunity to witness the streets waking up and morning rituals taking place before the chaos and busyness of the day sets in. Just be sure to keep your camera handy to capture some atmospheric photographs!" – Jessie, India & Bermuda Specialist

On March 1, students who tried to log on to the Internet using the free Wi-Fi network on Florida State University's Panama City campus found themselves automatically redirected to an infamous Internet shock site called Meatspin.com. In case you're unfamiliar, the site does not feature a 24-ounce porterhouse steak on a lazy Susan.
How do we put this gently? Well, um, it features a video on loop of two men engaged in carnal relations while a certain part of the receiving partner's anatomy spins in a perfect 360-degree motion like a helicopter blade. It's a real hoot.
As you might imagine, FSU did not intend this. The sneaky redirection was pulled off by a hacker, 26-year-old Benjamin Blouin. He claimed he was merely trying to draw attention to a security flaw in the system.
According to the News-Herald, it's not immediately clear how long the hack was in effect or how many students and staff members were exposed to the furiously twirling reproductive organ.
Now the school requires users to log in, and Blouin says that's what he wanted all along.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
"Anybody's identity, while they're logged onto that network, could be at risk," Blouin told police.
He was arrested and charged with a third-degree felony of offenses against computer users.
However, he did claim he did not personally choose Meatspin.com, but rather it was the default setting of the hacking program he used.

People sometimes think of an appeal as if it is just a second trial. If you don't like the outcome of the first trial, you can ask for an appeal and do it all over again, hoping for a better outcome. This is not true, and it's imperative to know why.Continue Reading →
Florida Death Penalty Revamped and Back in Use
Posted In: Criminal Law - Appellate
About two months ago, Florida's death penalty was eliminated by the U.S. Supreme Court primarily because judges could decide to use the death penalty without the support of a jury. However, thanks to a new bill that has been signed into law, Florida will be able to use the death penalty, though the laws about how it can be handed down have been revamped.Continue Reading →
I'm quite aware of the harsh laws against texting and driving in California. However, I've always wondered if I would be penalized for looking at a map on my cellphone while driving as well. In my opinion, checking your phone while driving is very dangerous, regardless of whether you are checking a text message or reading a map.Continue Reading →

Named after the nearby Pripyat River, Pripyat was founded on 4 February 1970, the ninth nuclear city in the Soviet Union, to serve the nearby Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. It was officially proclaimed a city in 1979, and had grown to a population of 49,360 by the time it was evacuated, a few days after the 26 April 1986 Chernobyl disaster.
Nowadays, Pripyat is a abandoned spooky ghost town and is only accessible to the bravest adventurers.

Former Detroit Tigers broadcaster Paul Carey dies at 88
DETROIT (AP) Paul Carey, a radio broadcaster whose accounts of Detroit Tigers games captivated sports fans for nearly two decades, has died. He was 88.
Nancy Carey said her husband died ''very peacefully'' Tuesday at their home in the Detroit suburb of Rochester and had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and heart disease. She said he was ''the love of my life and anybody that knew him was better off for knowing him.''
In a statement, the Tigers said Carey was ''a consummate professional who had one of the most distinctive and classic broadcast voices.'' He was Ernie Harwell's radio broadcast partner from 1973-91 and was behind the microphone during the Tigers' 1984 World Series championship season.
''The team of Ernie and Paul was, such a great team,'' current Tigers play-by-play radio announcer Dan Dickerson told the Detroit Free Press. ''I think the thing I took away from listening to those broadcasts, just the way they called a really good game.
''I grew up listening to these guys. ... He had a powerful voice that kind of sucked you into the radio,'' Dickerson said.
Indeed, Carey's voice was authoritative and deep. During Tigers broadcasts, his shift spanned the middle three innings, with Harwell typically announcing the other six. During most of those seasons, he also served as a broadcast engineer, The Detroit News said, hauling equipment and arranging communications with Detroit station WJR-AM.
''Maybe one of the reasons we got along so well is that there was quite a difference in our personalities and approaches,'' Carey told The News in an interview after Harwell died in 2010. ''Ernie got up early and exercised early. I got up late as I could and exercised as little as I could.
''I'm a worrier. Ernie was not. He didn't fret. Again, maybe that's why we got along so well. We weren't finishing each other's sentences.''
In addition to his nearly two decades in the Tigers' booth, the native of Mount Pleasant worked for several radio stations in addition to WJR.
Carey was an honorary lifetime member of the Detroit Sports Broadcasters Association and a former president of the organization. He was awarded the 2012 DSBA Ernie Harwell Lifetime Achievement Award.
''His passing is mourned by all he touched, thanks to his talent, profile and longevity; he did indeed touch countless sports souls,'' Trevor Thompson, the president of the Detroit Sports Broadcasters Association, said in a statement.
Arrangements are being handled by Modetz Funeral Home in Oakland County's Orion Township.

Whether you recently moved to Oklahoma or have been a long-time resident, losing a job in the state can be devastating for your personal finances, but you may be entitled to Unemployment Benefits, depending on the circumstances of your termination.
Basic eligibility requirements for unemployment benefits in Oklahoma center around your previous earnings and the nature of termination, so you'll need to determine how much in wages you earned in the year prior to the beginning of the most recent completed calendar quarter in order to determine your unemployment compensation.
For example, if you will be filing in April, you need to look at the previous completed calendar quarter, ending March 31, and count back one year from its beginning on January 1. You are eligible if, in that time, you earned at least $1,500 from an insured employer and your total wages are at least one and a half times your highest calendar quarter.
It is a good idea to file immediately upon becoming unemployed. The sooner you file, the sooner you will begin receiving your benefits. There is a "waiting week" the first week of unemployment in which no benefits can be paid. If you need more information than is provided here, get in touch with the Unemployment Service Center in Oklahoma City.
Eligibility Requirements for Unemployment in Oklahoma
Along with proving income in the last fiscal year, there are a number of other eligibility requirements you'll need to meet in order to qualify for governmental assistance in the state of Oklahoma.
One of the most popular questions is whether someone who has quit his or her job is eligible to receive unemployment, and the short answer is no, leaving a job voluntarily will not allow you to receive benefits unless you can show there was a very good cause.
To be eligible for unemployment benefits, you must be available and actively seeking work, and you will likely be denied unemployment benefits if you were fired for misconduct, have limited hours you can work, are not authorized to work in the United States, or are involved in a strike.
Unemployed individuals outside of Oklahoma can still apply for Oklahoma benefits but only on wages earned in the state of Oklahoma.
Benefits Amounts and Application Procedure
If approved, unemployment benefits can be paid until the total reaches $10,600, and Oklahoma figures weekly benefit amounts by taking 1/23 of your highest earnings over the "first four of the last five completed calendar quarters." The amount can never exceed $505 weekly and cannot be less than $16.
Application for unemployment benefits can be filed online or by calling the Unemployment Service Center in Oklahoma City. When applying, have ready your social security number or driver's license number, the physical information of your last employer, and the dates during which you worked there.
If approved, you must file weekly claims—with weeks starting on Sunday and ending on Saturday. They must be filed within 14 days of the week ending date, and all wages earned while unemployed must be reported when filing your claim because this income affects your benefit amount.

Kennedy cousin Michael Skakel lost an appeal on Monday, but could be free in three years.
He is serving 20 years for a high-profile Greenwich slaying in 1975 killing, but could be released in 2013 because of more lenient laws in place at the time of the crime.
Skakel, the nephew of Ethel Kennedy, beat and Martha Moxley with a golf club in when they were 15-year-old neighbors.
He was convicted in 2002 and appealed for a new trial. The Connecticut Supreme Court rejected that request on Monday.
Brian Garnett, spokesman for the Connecticut Department of Correction, says Skakel is eligible for parole consideration on April 3, 2013, based on credits for good behavior and other activities such as participating in programs.
John Moxley, Martha's brother, plans he will oppose Skakel's release.

The start of a new year is a time for reflection and making personal resolutions.
Companies should also reflect and evaluate their performance from the past year. What worked? What fell short? This is often easier said than done, but it's an extremely valuable practice. Knowing where your company has been will help provide direction for where it should go. Assessing various parts of your company — and implementing the necessary changes — will help create a better experience for your customers and improve your bottom line.
How can you best serve your customers?
From content marketing to customer service, we help our clients evaluate their plans and processes to make sure they are being the best company they can be for their customers. Here are some of the areas of opportunity on our radar:
Many brands are embracing content marketing. No longer does a sales person go door-to-door. Customers want product information and answers to their questions before ever talking to a sales person. Making your company a resource with engaging content in various formats and on multiple platforms will draw those customers to you. Take a look at what content you're currently creating. Is it meeting customers' needs? How can it be more effective?
Go to Market
When, where, and how customers want to receive company information may change year-over-year. Do they read industry magazines or follow your brand on social media? Do they respond to offers mailed to their home or click through your email communications? Evaluate your current efforts and consider what new opportunities might better reach your customers.
Getting products out the door (or warehouse) quickly is key to customer satisfaction. Can your process be more efficient? Companies can evaluate their inventory, ordering, and shipping processes to find where efficiencies can be gained. Other internal processes may also benefit from an evaluation. What can be documented to streamline a process? Ensuring all employees follow the same procedures will allow for a more unified and improved customer experience.
How can we best serve our clients?
We take our own advice. Two Rivers Marketing is constantly evaluating how we can best serve our clients, and we recently found a few areas of opportunity:
As our video team and capabilities continue to grow, so do the number of clients who crave video content. We realized we needed a dedicated, private space for client viewing, editing, and discussion. We now host clients in our video suite to do these things apart from the hustle and bustle of our office.
The need for more insights has also continued to grow, with no signs of stopping. Our marketing insights team changed accordingly with the addition of a data analyst who helps tell the story behind the numbers. Evaluating our staffing levels and expertise allows us to meet the needs of our clients.
We also take a look at the evaluation and reporting tools we use such as Moz, RivalIQ, Tableau, and Dataroma. New products are coming to the marketplace and current ones are being improved and updated. Keeping an open mind to evaluating these tools allows us to provide the most value to our clients.
As times change, your company may need to change, too. Doing what you've always done may not be the best option anymore. Don't know where to start? We're here to help. Send in the Contact Us form (or contact your Two Rivers team member), and we'll be in touch.

Northern Regions Racing: Middle of the month Salticrax
Lying next to the N12 Witbank highway is one of the most exciting motorcycle racing circuits in the country. And after a very long dry spell it is once again time for action on one of my favourite motorcycle race circuits—Red Star Raceway, just outside Delmas.
Saturday morning and ominous clouds hang dark, cold and low over the peaceful country side. For a moment I thought I was back in England until the sound of thundering race bikes jolted me right back to the present. The freezing early morning wind blew at a moderate pace, but being used to North Eastern England winters Martine and I were not discourage as we got ready to embrace another day of exhilarating motorcycle racing action.
Now I'm sure you are all curious about the title of this article.
Don't know how many of you can still remember the Salticrax advert, which aired on TV years ago, showing a cracker with all the toppings you can think of at the beginning of the month and how the toppings get less and less as the month progresses.
Well, middle of the month Salticrax was exactly what the turn-up at Saturday's race event reminded me of.
The parking area was emptier than usual; competitor entries fewer than before and the grandstands cold and empty. I could've thought of a million reasons not to go, but only one nudge me out of bed at four o'clock on a Saturday—IT'S RED STAR!
Down at the farthest end of the Red Star racetrack Martine and I got ready for the greatest show on earth. This would be our first motorsport photography session out in weather fit for a man like Bear Grylls (exaggerating of course). Down the two back straights, at the farthest end of the racetrack, bikes passed us at lightning speed, emitting thunderous roars into an open landscape.
I've noticed the Joker's transformation-in-progress; eventually we will not be able to tell man and machine apart. Birds flying overhead might fall out of the sky, blinded and disorientated by the nr 22 (122) Chrome-Dome. Typically the Joker reaped havoc during both races, being able to reach speeds of up to 285km at Red Star (that was from the horse's mouth).
As usual Gavin Lightfoot put in a good fight... Now this is one scoot jockey that can bend his body like warm liquorice, adapting to the demands of the track on his Kawasaki ZX10R race bike. Although Gavin Lightfoot came second in his class and third overall I'm sure he will give the younger guys a run for their money if he had the same performance race bike.
Even though Red Star was not packed to the brim with spectators, the day was still a huge success, just like a plain Salticrax—still enjoyable. For those who attended the day's proceedings (spectators as well as competitors) it was still worth the drive to this remote racetrack.
This coming weekend Zwartkops is hosting the Wesbank Super Series again and if all goes according to plan, you will see me there. •

Other Effects and Impacts of Building a School in the Community
As we go about achieving the goal of producing lasting impact in rural communities by improving access to education, we have come to realize a few unexpected (initially) changes that a school brings. This usually hits home for most donors who come over during our annual donor trips when they see these effects first hand.
One of the effects of building a school in a newly settled community is that it becomes the focus for development in the community. This means that the community centre develops near the school in most of the communities we have worked with. Before we start building a school in an area you'll find that the land left aside for community activities like trading centre and markets is used and thus bare. However as soon as the school starts and grows into a community institution, the people around the area set up businesses and hang outs in the land allocated for that which is usually near the school. A great example of this effect is in Lemolo B community where a thriving trade centre has been set up with various businesses running and serving the people there. It starts with a little shop for common household items and soon other necessary services and goods business follow promptly. In Lemolo B, the government in its efforts to connect the schools to the national grid brought the electricity right in the community. Once this was done the power company working with government saw it wise to distribute the power to all the residents and thus every household was recently connected to the electric grid. Thus even though the community is far and away from other places, they are now on the grid and living vastly better lives with very cheap connection and no hustle on their part. What would have costed a lot to do privately or communally was very inexpensive just costing the residents $10 instead of more than $700 for each connection. This has been a catalyst to business growth in the area as they can establish businesses that run on electric power instead of travelling more than 7 miles to the nearest town.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type="flexslider_style" images="6525,6526″ onclick="link_no" css=".vc_custom_1482438384288{padding-top: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;}"][vc_column_text]Even in other areas with electric connection bringing about business growth. Community starts setting up businesses around the school. It starts as a way to sell food and other item to construction workers and quickly grows into businesses that serve the whole community as the people start seeing a new venture to earn a little more money in addition to farming and other economic activities. When teachers settle in to the new school similar needs met and thus keep demand.
Another effect I commonly observe after building a school is the community utilizing the organization and leadership established during the school building to solve problems in the community. In Baraka Shalom, the community water project was stalled and even though local politicians promised to help this didn't materialize. The community having realized they can work together by adding small contributions were able to revive the water projects and now there is clean water available in the community. Other organization also see this level of community organization, problem solving and initiative and they want to work this these communities. In the whole Lemolo area a few organizations have done projects since we build the schools there.
Therefore we don't just build a school, we establish the focal point and structure for other developments to thrive and take shape.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Hot on the Trail
Enjoy the excitement of a beagle hound field trial...where the dogs are there to find and follow and the rabbit nearly always gets away.
Hot on the Trail
While some hunters rely on stealth and cunning, others take a more direct approach. These would be foks who like to turn 'em loose and let 'em run…hunters with hound dogs chasing wild game. But sometimes it's all about the chase, not the catch. Wild Side Guide Craig Owensby takes us to a beagle hound field trial, where the dogs are there to find and follow…and the rabbit nearly always gets away.
Those beagles may never see a rabbit… but they can sure smell them. And beagles aren't the only dogs you see in those field trials. They also run coonhounds, foxhounds, even basset hounds…which paints quite the mental picture if you just imagine those hush puppies hot on the trail, ears flapping in the wind!
If you are interested in learning more about beagle trials, you can contact Wally Libbs with the Music City Beagle Club at 931-607-8323 or visit them on Facebook.

Hazel Court (10 February 1926 – 15 April 2008) was an English actress best known for her roles in horror films during the 1950s and early '60s.
Early life
Court was born in Sutton Coldfield, Warwickshire, lived in the Boldmere area and attended Boldmere School and Highclare College.[1] Her father was G.W. Court, a cricketer who played for Durham CCC. At the age of fourteen, she studied drama at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre and the Alexandra Theatre, also in Birmingham, England.
At the age of sixteen, Court met film director Anthony Asquith in London, which won her a brief part in Champagne Charlie (1944). Court won a British Critics Award for her role as a crippled girl in Carnival (1946) and also appeared in Holiday Camp (1947) and Bond Street (1948). Her first role in a fantasy film was in Ghost Ship (1952). One of Court's most remembered films is the cult classic Devil Girl from Mars (1954). She trained at the Rank Organisation's "charm school".
Court wanted to act in comedy films but she also continued to appear in horror films and, in 1957, had what was to become a career-defining role in the first colour Hammer Horror film The Curse of Frankenstein. In the 1957–58 television season, she appeared in a CBS sitcom filmed in England, Dick and the Duchess, in the role of Jane Starrett, a patrician Englishwoman married to an American insurance claims investigator living in London, a role played by Patrick O'Neal. Court travelled back and forth between Hollywood and England, appearing in four episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents. She had parts in A Woman of Mystery (1958), The Man Who Could Cheat Death (1959) and Doctor Blood's Coffin (1961) among others.
By the early 1960s, Court had permanently moved to the United States. She was featured in the Edgar Allan Poe horror films The Premature Burial (1962), The Raven (1963) and The Masque of the Red Death (1964), the last two with Vincent Price.
In 1981 Court appeared briefly in the third Omen film, The Final Conflict, although she was uncredited. She also appeared in episodes of several TV series, including Adventures in Paradise, Mission: Impossible, Bonanza, Dr. Kildare, Danger Man, Twelve O'Clock High, Burke's Law, Sam Benedict, Gidget, McMillan and Wife, Mannix, The Wild Wild West, Thriller, and in The Fear, the penultimate episode of the original 1960's The Twilight Zone.
Personal life
Court was married to Irish actor Dermot Walsh from 1949 until their divorce in 1963. They had a daughter, Sally Walsh, who appeared with her mother in The Curse of Frankenstein.
From 1964 until his death in 1998, she was married to American actor Don Taylor, who was divorced in 1955 from actress Phyllis Avery. Court retired from the film acting business in 1964 to concentrate on being a wife and mother. Court and Taylor met while they were shooting an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents. They had a son, Jonathan, and a daughter, Courtney.
In addition to acting, she was also a painter and sculptress, and studied sculpting in Italy. Court wrote her autobiography, Hazel Court – Horror Queen, which was published by Tomahawk Press in the UK (April 2008) and in the US (June 2008). [2]
Court died of a heart attack at her home near Lake Tahoe, California, on 15 April 2008, aged 82.[3] She is survived by daughters Sally Walsh and Courtney Taylor, son Jonathon Taylor and two stepdaughters, Anne Taylor Fleming and Avery Taylor.[4] She was cremated and her ashes scattered at sea. Hazel Court once said in an interview "Just in case I should pop off to heaven in the night, I always remember to wash up, plump-up the cushions and straighten up after a dinner party. I wouldn't want everyone to come in and find it a mess. It's very English of me."[5]

The Mantua Township Fire Marshal's Office is responsible for the enforcement of the New Jersey Uniform Fire Code in all commercial, industrial, and multi-family dwelling occupancies within the township. This division of the Mantua Township Fire Department is also responsible for all fire prevention education and the investigation of all reported fires and explosions that occur within Mantua Township.
Currently the Fire Marshal's Office if staffed by one full-time career firefighter/fire official, supplemented by all four other career firefighters.

For all investigations and complaints, the Fire Marshal is "on call" 24 hours a day, and will respond to assignments after regular work hours if needed.
The Fire Marshal's position is staffed by Anthony "Nic" Lamana who was hired upon the creation of the Mantua Township Board of Fire Commissioners in 2007. Lieutenant Daniel Hauss operates as Fire Investigator in FM Lamana's absence.
Nic has been involved in the fire service in Gloucester County for over 22 years.
