Germany's largest world music event, Rudolstadt Festival, will take place July 4-7, 2019. The opening concert on 4 July will be a tribute concert dedicated to splendid female artists from the worlds of jazz, folk and blues. Sing The Truth is a project by three women who are themselves acclaimed for their extraordinary voices – Lizz Wright, Angelique Kidjo and Cecile McLoren Salvant – with drummer and producer Terri Lyne Carrington acting as musical director.
Three days later, the closing concert will feature alternative country pioneers, the Cowboy Junkies from Canada, who have raised the bar with their slow motion blues and folk sounds.
The massive line-up at this year's festival includes 300 concerts, workshops and discussions. One of the standout acts is the Herbert Pixner Projekt from South Tyrol. This quartet from the Alps transcends all sorts of musical borders with their mastery of flamenco, tango, gypsy jazz and rock riffs, and is in high demand in the German-speaking world.
Presently, one of the most sought-after Icelandic musicians is Ólafur Arnalds with his sound collages made up of art, music and technology.
A new figurehead of Afro-Brazilian women is Luedji Luna, who frequently serves up her songs addressing social problems with laidback tunes enhanced with elements of both jazz and R&B.
South African singer-songwriter Alice Phoebe Lou, who launched her career by busking in Berlin, will perform poetry with a touch of jazz, summing up the music of South Africa.
Die Höchste Eisenbahn, who will be releasing their third album this summer, also began their successful journey in Berlin by pairing catchy melodies with zeitgeisty humor. Then there's the unique project Small Island Big Song, whose members come from island nations in the Pacific and Indian Oceans which are literally threatened with extinction by climate change.
Musical contrasts from Iran
To represent Iran, this year's special guest country, the Rudolstadt Festival has selected nine ensembles and devised a richly contrasting program. It ranges from performances based on centuries-old traditions to music driven by current political protests. "The festival intends to convey that there's a vibrant cultural scene in Iran striving to find its own way and make itself known internationally," declared program director Bernhard Hanneken. In Rudolstadt, Iranian artists will also be given a forum to talk about their lives, their circumstances, and their opportunities for artistic expression.
On the opening night, the band Damahi will be performing a pop-oriented fusion of Iranian and world music genres. One of Iran's most prominent musicians is tar and setar player Hamid Motebassem, who is also a noted composer. At Rudolstadt, he will be presenting compositions such as his orchestral work Pardis accompanied by the Thuringian Symphony Orchestra from Saalfeld-Rudolstadt. What's more, they'll be joined by one of Iran's best-known women's voices, Mahdieh Mohammadkhani.
There is another expressive female singer in the Hamnava Ensemble, which hails from Bushehr in southwest Iran on the Persian Gulf. Baran Mozafari is one of the few women endeavoring to take the female vocal styles from the region into the 21st century.
Tar virtuoso Ali Ghamsari from Tehran represents a subtle, innovative variety of classical Persian music. By contrast, Shahin Najafi's current program is a powerful contemporary blend of jazz, blues, rock and Persian folk songs.
Apart from the performances by the nine Iranian ensembles, there will be discussions with the artists during the festival and a wide-ranging symposium with topics including the status of women in Iran, the social aspect of Iranian music, Persian poetry, record production and marketing.
New partnership: The EBU Folk Festival in Rudolstadt
With the Rudolstadt Festival being held for the 29th time in 2019, this year marks the start of a new partnership with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). The EBU will be celebrating the 40th anniversary of its own Euroradio Folk Festival by presenting selected musicians in Rudolstadt.
This partnership has been initially set to run for three years, meaning the Euroradio Folk Festival will also provide a forum for various facets of the European scene at the Rudolstadt Festival in 2020 and 2021. Both sides hope for lasting collaboration with Graham Dixon, the EBU's Head of Radio, even talking of a new chapter in the European Broadcasting Union's history: "Despite the wide participation and high quality of performance, until now, the EBU Folk Festival has never enjoyed a long-term home. From now, working together with the well-established festival in Rudolstadt provides an opportunity to pool our resources."
This summer, editorial teams from 16 EBU member states will be taking part together with artists from their respective countries. They represent a wide variety in every respect, ranging from the 23-strong Finnish SibA Folk Big Band to solo accordion performances by Yegor Zabelov from Belarus and Otto Lechner from Austria, both of whom perform in their own distinctive manner. Nineteenth-century dance music will be fronted by Husistein-Musik from Switzerland while at the opposite end of the spectrum, avant-garde Polish group Polmuz will be taking the concept of folk music in an experimental direction.

A Free Talk on "TAI CHI WALK" by Shifu Carlton Hill on 23rd June, 2012 at 4.00pm at HELP
The effect of an IVF cycle on the husband.
14 hours ago
Taiji or tai chi chaun is the supreme ultimate energy, exercise, healing art, martial art and philosophy combined from ancient china, practiced by millions around the world today for its countless healing benefits.
Go for a walk on the park today. You might see people joggers and athletes alike walking and running in their own ways. People have different reasons for walking. Some want to lose weight; others want to be fit, while some want to lower their cholesterol and stress levels. But often times, we have seen that an hour of jogging/walking/running also doesn't produce the desired results. This is where the tai chi walking technique comes in.
We remain unaware, says Sifu Carlton Hill. We walk without thought, without intention or energy. It then becomes a 'pendulum walk' where one is merely swinging his arms and legs while remaining oblivious to the very act of walking. "Don't just walk," says Hill, "Move on the earth."
So what does this 'moving on earth' mean? It means being aware of every moment, every twitch, every bend of muscle in your body as you walk. This walk involves the three principles of tai chi walking:
· Qi movement
· Qi mind
· Qi meditation
Qi means energy- the basic essence of all that is living and non living. We are all connected. There isn't an in here and out there. We are all energy, made out of the same elements. Knowing the technique to harness this energy is what tai chi teaches. It teaches us to connect not with the mind, but the inner soul of the body, thus providing 'wholistic' health. Once this connection is established, anything we want can be achieved, provided it is not out of harmful tendencies.
There are many kinds of tai chi walks, the simplest one being the basic tai chi walk. Tai chi draws inspiration from nature. Thus it also has the cow walk, the snake walk and the crane walk. Practicing each of these alleviates stress, improves health and also restores vitality in the body.
Sifu Carlton Hill will be having his Tai chi class in HELP library 4th July onwards. To get the details of the class, contact him on 9892431215 or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com
You make a living by what you get. You make a life by what you give.
This is the message that Dr. Percy Ghaswala walks in with as he starts his talk on eye donation. Eye donation is a miracle of life, he says. And indeed it is, as we see slide after slide of patients who have gained the gift of sight. It is a joy and a wonder to know what a simple donation can do. It can restore sight. It can restore hope and can also bring magic that is overlooked by each one of us in our daily lives. It is the magic of sight.
Imagine not being able to see colors anywhere. Imagine not being able to see your children's faces. Imagine not being able to see the fine details – the loop of the thread, the eye of the needle, the stitch of both. These aren't mere hypothesis, but real live stories of people who suffer from corneal blindness. All of this can be reversed. A call is all that is needed.
The best part about eye donation is that it is free of cost. The donor doesn't have to undergo any lengthy procedures or any sort of trouble. Dr. Ghaswala and his team have made this process such a simple one that filling of a card is all that is needed.
Dr. Ghaswala also busts certain myths regarding eye donation such as:
Ø The whole eye is transplanted
Ø The donor face will be disfigured after removal of eyes
Ø People wearing glasses or those who have cataract cannot donate
Ø Cornea transplant is an experimental surgery
Ø Eyes should be removed JUST before death
There are also certain facts about eye donation that are explained such as:
Ø Only the "Cornea" is used for transplant
Ø "Anyone" can be a eye donor
Ø There is no disfigurement of the donor's face
Ø Cataracts and glasses are due to conditions related to the lens and not the cornea
Ø Eyes can be donated only AFTER death
Dr. Ghaswala takes us through the entire procedure of eye donation and eye transplant as well as he takes us through the process of:
Enucleation procedure
Eye ball relay in igloos
Tissue (cornea) processing
Cornea preservation and evaluation
Serology (blood testing)
Keratoplasty (cornea grafting)
Keratoplasty (surgery)
Finally, Dr. Ghaswala leaves with the message that conveys it all, "YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!"
In a world that runs after the fantasy of the medical word and where the doctor's word is considered to be final, Dr. R. C. Shah comes with a simple remedy: faith. "Don't worry," he says to the patients who come to his healing centre. These two words, along with the hope of a new horizon kindle a sense of reassurance in the patient who has lost all faith.
This system of divine healing, works through prayers and the power of intention. It works for believers as well as non believers. Shah claims that this system of meditation has given a chance, a new hope to live for last stage cancer patients as well as bed ridden ones. He says the energy is in each one of us. We just have to look for it. This energy can be found through the techniques taught at his centre. The healing techniques work on the following principle:
"Whatsoever a person thinks positively and one pointedly without any doubt whatsoever for the benefit of others including the self without and selfish motive, the atmosphere around him quantifies that thought."
This principle not only acts as a healing principle but also, reveals the many secrets of the human mind. Our mind is always thinking. They are constantly working and swimming in a chaos of thoughts. To achieve one pointedness, that is concentration, we do not need to seek the Himalayas. We experience it daily in our lives. For instance, while watching a movie, or cooking a perfect dish, or while writing a check. Dr. Shah says that we our wired for one pointedness.
We all doubt. We doubt our parents, elders, spouses, teachers and strangers. Dr. Shah advises to avoid the doubt plague since it destroys. It destroys the power of pure positive emotion and intent. It also disrupts the energy flow that allows healing. Hence, it is of utmost importance that this plague should be avoided. Also, healing through this technique requires complete selfless motivation since anything done out of selfish motives brings a bad result and negative energies.
There are three kinds of divine healing:
1. Touch healing: in this technique, the patient is made to sit with the healer. The healer invokes the powers of Mother Nature as he recites a sort of mantra while also wishing for the complete well being of the patient. The energies are then sent to the patient via the healer's palms which are placed on the patient's head and heart. This practice is continued till complete recovery of the patient.
2. Distance healing: this healing is useful in treating patients suffering from contagious ailments. The patient and the healer sit at a distance of 3 meters and the same procedure mentioned above is repeated.
3. Absence healing: this is the most effective treatment according to Dr. Shah. This technique is practiced when face to face communication is not possible. The patient and the healer sit at their respective centres at the time of healing and the above procedure is repeated.
Watch this short video and
Patients often complain that they can never understand anything their doctor says. This is usually because doctors use medical jargon but you should never get intimidated by this! You just need to remember that such jargon is simply a convenient shorthand which doctors ( and other health care professionals) use to communicate with each other. Since these words are often derived from the classic languages ( Greek and Latin), they may sound unfamiliar and difficult to understand, but if you devote enough time and take enough trouble, you can definitely do so.

"To eat is a necessity,
but to eat intelligently is an art."
Keeping this concept in mind, a Unani medic, Dr.Ghazala Shaikh stresses the art of 'eating intelligently'. This art very skillfully uses food as medicine, thus blurring the line between the two.
She stresses the importance of being able to distinguish between true hunger and false hunger since many unhealthy eating habits are on the rise. Hunger pangs merely act as guilty pleasures which temporarily satiate the body's need for energy rich foods, that is, foods containing fats and oils, thus needing immediate gratification while true hunger arises out of the body's need to replenish nutrients.
Unani medics strongly believe in the motto, "A family that eats together, stays together" since it promotes emotional as well as mental health. It also encourages a feeling of unity and affection among family members.
Further, Dr. Shaikh goes on to explain how to eat in which she highlights the following:
An excellent practice is to eat with 100% attention on the taste of the food
WATERY /easily digested FOODS FIRST
Avoid drinking beverages or even water during or after meals
Eat in generous amount… quit before satiety
The most frequently asked question is what to eat?
Nutritious, hygienic and well cooked food.
Well balanced ( adequate calories…and amount of carbs, proteins and fat)
In accordance with your temperament, pepsis power, body status and season for example in cold weather eat vegetables with slight bitter taste ( bitter gourd, soya, methi).
One type of food at a time…at proper time interval ( 3-4 hrs or when previous food is completely digested
Sweet food item or wine… ( medicated) in moderate amount after the meal
Dr. Shaikh also prescribes certain foods that suit the temperament of the person, that is, choleric, phlegmatic and melancholic. She then goes to explain the harmful food combinations that damage the body or act as 'abusive substances' for the stomach for example, sour things with milk, fish with milk, etc. but she does recommend a power nap or a siesta after the afternoon lunch for rejuvenation and refreshment of the body. This siesta helps in increasing productivity, improving cognitive functions and alleviating stress.
After meal drinks that are recommended by her are water, wine or nabeez (a Unani drink). They aid in digestion and also add to the fluid content of the body.
As she departs, she concludes with a short but effective message that says, "Eat healthy and stay healthy."
In this talk Dr. Rohit Bartake talks about health and healing using ayurvedic techniques in monsoons.
There is a seasonal regime that must be followed by each individual, which encompasses daily lifestyle along with diet and exercise. He talks about the two directions of the earth during the summer and winter months namely, during which utmost care in terms of body health is needed.
One must avoid exercise during summer due to the proximity of the earth with the sun. Similarly, during the winter months a gradual build up of energy is created hence the body should not be strained too much during exercise.
During the monsoon months, the vata gets aggravated and needs to be kept in check by observing the following measures:
Avoid leafy vegetables and fresh grains (grains grown in the same year)
Drink lukewarm water.
Nourish your body with daily sesame oil message.
Dr. Bartake recommends that going outdoors should be avoided since the rains can have a harmful effect on the body. Taking these precautions help in maintain good health.
A daily oil massage or the basti treatment is also recommended for people who suffer from back pain, arthritis, gout, etc
Basti therapy is one of the major pancharma treatments. Ayurvedic basti refers to the introduction of certain oils, herbal concoctions, and sometimes milk or other liquids through the perineum- anus. Basti is the most effective treatment for vata dosha or vata disorders. The term 'Basti' literally means bag or bladder. In ancient times, sterilized urinary bladders of animals were used to injecBt the fluids into the rectum. Therefore, this ayurvedic therapy came to be known as Basti Karma.
Ayurvedic Basti restores the balance of the doshas or the body types. The Vata body type, in particular, can get the maximum benefit of basti ayurvedic therapies. Some of the advantages of Basti include
• It increases weight in emaciated people by providing high nutrition and rejuvenation.
• It is also beneficial in weight loss programmes as some basti treatments reduce weight in the obese
• It improves vision
• It prevents aging and brings back lustre, strength, and longevity.
• It provides relief from constipation, distention, chronic fever, cold, kidney stones.
• It is also used to cure sexual disorders.
• Basti is very beneficial in preventing heart pain, backache, sciatica and other pains in the joints.
• As vata disorder is the main cause of many pains including joint pains and knee pain, basti provides relief in such conditions as arthritis, rheumatism, gout, muscle spasms and headaches.
• It is also effective for most of the digestive disorders like dry colon, dry rectum condition and the tendency towards constipation resulting from such conditions.
These were only some conditions where basti proves to be beneficial. Ayurveda practitioners use basti for treating many other medical conditions including certain chronic diseases too.
Do keep in mind that doctors are also human, and they are badgered by their own share of problems. On certain days they may seem rude or curt; on such days, give them a little leeway and a lot of understanding!
The following terms can be very helpful when you talk to your doctor:
Please tell me more about that.
What does that mean in simple English?
Could you explain that to me again?
Could you write that down for me?
Where can I find more information about this subject?
You seem rushed.
When can I call you to talk about this in more detail?
Try to do your best to become an ideal patient, and learn to take an active interest in your medical care. After all, this is the only body you have! It's a simple fact of life that patients who know how to make the most of their doctor get better medical care. Therefore, it's very important that you learn how to do so !

The White House has said that the US Economy needs merit-based migration as the inflow of lowly skilled migrants to the US has suppressed the salaries. These have also harmed the US workers and overwrought the treasury resources added the White House.
The statement from White House favoring merit-based migration for the US Economy has come one day after Donald Trump gave a call for it. This kind of immigration system based on merit will benefit the Indian professionals.
Nations such as Australia and Canada have an immigration system based on merit. This is beneficial to both host nations and the immigrants added the statement. In his first address for the State of the Union, Trump has demanded an immigration policy to attract the brightest and the best to the US.
A recent poll by the Harvard-Harris was quoted by the White House in its press statement. It elaborates that 79% of the poll participants said that the immigration system must be based on the ability of the immigrants to contribute to the US economy. This must be measured by the skills and education of the immigrants, adds the poll, as quoted by the NDTV.
It has also been insisted by the White House that it is high time that immigration policies of the US are reformed. This must give chance to those immigrants who have skills and talents and not for those with close family ties.
The White House further explained that the existing migration system in the US allows one immigrant to sponsor multiple relatives to settle as legal PR holders. These are even beyond their nuclear family, it added.
Around 70% or 2/3rds of the legal migration to the US is based on family ties to the US Visa or Green card holder. 9.3 million Migrants were admitted to the US between 2005 and 2015 based on relations of family, said the White House.
If you are looking to Study, Work, Visit, Invest or Migrate to the US, talk to Y-Axis, the World's No.1 Immigration & Visa Company.

A song that plays as a lament spoken to God about the loss of identity, family, and a reflection of his ancestors slavery in America and the want to be taken to "a better place" to "forget all that hurts", "Tennessee" by Arrested Development, can be is a complicated piece and an easy piece to identify with.
When reading lyrics about African-American life and past and a relationship to God, a caucasion atheist from Wisconsin maybe hard pressed to understand what about this draws his attention twenty years after its release?
Perhaps its that as humans, we all suffer at times. Perhaps its that AD founder Speech is a Wisconsin native. Perhaps its that Tennessee was a place of importance and transformation in life. Perhaps its that when this song was first released, it was catchy, but didn't hold any meaning and now, as an adult, re-reading the lyrics, one can appreciate the power and the personal meaning of Speech's verse. Perhaps it is all of the above. It is all of the above.
I woke up this morning with this song playing in my head and what I mean is that I didn't wake up and this song started playing. I drifted back to reality with this song running the whole time. That happens from time to time.
From the 1992 release 3 Years, 5 Months & 2 Days in the Life Of… is Arrested Developments' "Tennessee". Occasionally corny, occasionally preachy, but always thoughtful, give it a minute and anyone can relate to it.

Magnus Lindberg's formidable first violin concerto, premiered in 2006, is written for Mozartian forces. But it is Sibelius who haunts this compelling piece, sometimes almost explicitly. It is as though Lindberg is constantly asking how a Finnish composer can be truly himself in a violin concerto when that other Finnish composer's concerto is always there in the collective memory. Next month brings the world premiere of Lindberg's second: the question may still be bugging him.
Christian Tetzlaff's imperious playing of the piece was edge-of-the-seat compelling from first to last, brushing all uncertainty aside. From the high, rapt opening to the scintillatingly vigorous finale, Tetzlaff played with a vehement authority that never wavered, and at times was almost overwhelming. Once again, he showed why he is one of the unmissable artists of our era. Hats off to him for not playing an encore, either; a great concerto performance needs no afterword.
In the surrounding all-French programme, Robin Ticciati proved his own points. In Fauré's orchestral suite for Pelléas et Mélisande, which predates Debussy's opera, Ticciati immediately announced his quality by drawing refined and restrained playing from the London Philharmonic. Yet he never allowed the music to lose its inner pulse, with the rippling violin figurations of the second movement beautifully integrated with the pizzicato cellos and the sinuous flute solo.
Ravel's Valses Nobles et Sentimentales revealed a similar attention to clarity of texture and well-paced rhythmic grace. These waltzes really danced. But it was in Debussy's La Mer, a symphony in all but name, that Ticciati displayed a sense of structure to go with his manifest ability to manage orchestral sound. The opening movement had a particularly firm sense of evolution as well as an ear for instrumental balance and effect, while the second movement play of waves was ideally impulsive and the final maritime surges were so atmospheric that one could almost feel the spray.

If you own a glamping site and would like photos to make it look irresistible to your customers, here are five ways you can showcase it.
Tell the story - Don't just show the basics. Help them picture their whole stay with you. Capture the magic! Show the little details and the surrounding areas. These things matter to people and could sway them to book your property over another with 3 or 4 bad pictures.
Prop it up - Add any props in that will help you tell your story. Lay the table ready for a romantic meal for two. Add seasonal flowers in a jar. Light candles. Showcase the al fresco dining opportunities.
Remove any distractions - There might be something that fulfils a need but doesn't necessarily look good on camera. Move it! Rearrange things so that it works in the shot and helps weave the storyline. If there is something unintentional/uninteresting that draws your eye in the image, move it/cover it. Think about where you want the eye to go first in the image and make sure there are no other major distractions.
Showcase your USPs - Really play up what makes you different from other similar glamping sites. Can you swim in the river? Show somebody swimming in the river! You have a solar powered open shower? Hint at somebody being in the shower! Do you go the extra mile for your customers? Tell them!
Timing - Think about the best time of day to shoot it. Does it get the morning sun on the veranda? Does it have the most spectacular sunsets? Does it have different attractive features depending on the season? If possible add to your catalogue of shots with images from different times of day/seasons. Seasonal shots are fab if you want to be booked out all year round. You then need to tell a different story, one of being wrapped up together, all snug with the Autumn colours all around you and the fire on.
Always think about how you want your customers to feel and the story you are going to tell in order to achieve that. What is your brand all about? What are your ideal customers drawn to? Think about these things and make sure you get images to capture the essence of what you stand for and why they should book with you.
It is also a good idea to shoot more than you think you need. You always need a never ending supply of images for social media. You can get more quirky with these, like the shot of feet in the shower etc!

Arches National Park | Utah, Part 1 | B&W travel
UTAH!!! Vacation time!!!! We had originally planned to go back to Playa Del Carmen this year, for our 3-year anniversary in October. But, we changed our minds somewhere along the way, and opted for a vacation unlike any vacation we've ever had! It really worked out for the best, as October will be my busiest wedding month to date! AHH!!
While relaxing on the sandy beaches of Mexico, sipping something fruity and reading book after book would've been amazing again... The breathtaking beauty of Utah was quite the perfect alternative. The endless hiking day after day was pretty exhausting, but well worth the amazingness we saw - and definitely worth the photos I snapped!!
Six days of 3 national parks was the plan, and that's exactly what we did. Day one was July 26, my birthday! We spent that day in Arches National Park, and I have to say, none of my birthdays past, while all wonderful, were ever spent in such a magical place as this!!
Getting to Arches on our trip meant a 6 hour one-way drive on the first day. But there was one hike in particular that led us there, one we had to do, regardless of the long drive. The hike to get us to the famous, Delicate Arch. If you don't know the name, trust me, you'll recognize it in photos. Our trail map rated the hike to Delicate Arch as "Strenuous" - can I just say how true that was. Definitely worth it! But I can assure you, there were a lot of breaks, a lot of holding my knees, and a lot of sucking air.
Aside from the glorious views - the people! The overall park wasn't really all that crowded, but the people we met along the trail to Delicate Arch were wonderful. So many different walks of life, so much kindness, so many accents! A British lady encouraged me on our way up that if she could survive that hike at double my age and half my muscle - then I could definitely make it! The people we encouraged on our way back down (which was A LOT easier, btw) were all sooo appreciative of the fellow support. It was a strong reminder that in life, we're all in it together!! It was a great feeling! I love nice people!!!
Here is a shot of the hardest part of the hike to Delicate Arch. This photo does no justice. But this was a straight uphill boulder/rock/slick-disaster. Ha. It was brutal.
Obviously we made it to the top - and after quite a big longer, we arrived...
The long-awaited photo of SUCCESS I so desperately wanted!! :)
After we conquered the Delicate Arch we headed back into Moab for some lunch. Definitely needed refueling! We easily made the executive decision that since we only had that one day, instead of tackling another longish hike - we'd instead hit as many short hikes as possible until dark! The nice part, in addition to seeing as much as possible, was that every other hike was practically deserted!!
We started with Balanced Rock. This hike was super easy - and super awesome. Equally interesting as well as peaceful. We felt and acted like kids again. Wes climbed, took selfies on the side of a boulder. Yep. You read that right. I explored and let myself smile at the simplest of things. We saw a wild hare! I found a penny!
Yep. That's my husband. Taking a selfie on the side of a boulder.
We scooted on to Double Arch - another easy, short hike that led to the base of this magnificent arch!
A couple random spots we stopped at -
Sand Dune Arch - this place was hands down my second favorite after Delicate in the entire Arches National Park. And honestly, one of my favorite hikes of the entire trip. Soooo unexpected. When we first pulled up, the sunlight was getting into that golden phase that makes every photographers heart go into double thumps. And that golden sun lit up those rocks like nothing I had ever seen. This shot was taken as soon as I stepped out of our car rental car...
That's me down there, in the bottom left - taking a photo I can't even believe is real life.
We walked in between that amazingness above, to find this....
Once inside, I couldn't believe how peaceful it was - how perfectly still. You couldn't even hear your own footsteps because the sand was so soft. And that sand?! Everywhere. The glow of it.
Something in this arch felt magical, and I can still completely recall that feeling when I look at the photos.
One of our last stops was called Skyline Arch. Easy and flat hike - which was great, because by this point, this old girl was getting pretty tired! :)
Oh Arches - I love you.

The EU Withdrawal Bill: What Happens Now?
After a roller-coaster week in UK politics, the government has seen off a raft of House of Lords changes to key Brexit legislation.
But what happens next, and what further challenges remain for Theresa May's government?
Joining us today are members of the IEA's International Trade and Competition Unit, Senior Counsel Victoria Hewson and Senior Research Analyst, Dr Radomir Tylecote.
They take a look at what this all means for Brexit - and how the ongoing debates have revealed new fault-lines and fissures in British politics, and wider society.
Finally, they examine how politicians of all stripes should improve their expertise on international trade, in order to raise the standard of debate and properly scrutinise the government in the months and years ahead.

EXIF Pilot 5.4
Old versionsSee all
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is a file format that stores various details about your photographs, such as date and time information, descriptions, copyright info, and many others. EXIF Pilot is a Windows utility that provides you with a quick solution for viewing and editing EXIF data on your PC.
The application comes with an integrated file browser that's being displayed on the left side of the interface. From there, you can access the folders that contain your images and select the photos that require EXIF editing. There's also a "Preview" panel on the upper-right side of the main window where you can get a glimpse at the pictures from the selected directory.
The editing options can be found in the main menu of the program. The integrated EXIF data editor allows you to modify various types of details about your photos, such as camera model, artist, copyright information, location, format, and many others. Afterwards, just click the "OK" button and the app will apply the needed changes.
You can also use this program to export EXIF data to your local folders. The app supports 3 output formats: XLS, CSV, and XLS.
My only issue with this utility is the fact that it doesn't offer you support for batch processing by default. You need to buy and install a plugin in order to edit or export multiple EXIF files at the same time. However, this plugin might prove to be of good use to professional photographers who need to edit EXIF data often.
To sum things up, EXIF Pilot proves to be a reliable solution for viewing and editing EXIF data on your PC. It's easy-to-use and efficient, features a comprehensive help manual, and is free.
Review summary
- Customizable interface
- Allows you to create, import, and export EXIF data
- Comes with a comprehensive help manual
- Works with multiple image formats
- You need to buy a plugin in order to batch edit EXIF info

With 6GB RAM, 64GB internal storage space and pre-installed Android 8.0 Oreo, the "all-new" Moto X4 definitely justifies its Rs. 24,999 price tag.
The beloved Moto X line took a break between the 2015 X Style and this year's X4, but Lenovo seemingly has every intention to launch a Moto X5 next year.
Even the 4GB RAM/64GB ROM Moto X4 SKU is more affordable in India than the unlocked 3/32 gig variant stateside.
Although it hasn't even started shipping yet, the unlocked GSM and CDMA-compatible Moto X4 is already available with a bundled gift card from Best Buy.
So what if the Moto X Pure Edition runs "pure" Android? The 2015 phone still waited more than a year to get its official 7.0 Nougat update.
It's almost etched in stone now that the Moto X4 will be the first Android One phone to come to the US, and Project Fi support also feels like a safe bet.
It's officially confirmed now, even though the Moto X4 is technically not out yet - specs include a Full HD 5.2-inch screen and dual 12MP rear cameras.
Lenovo's impending Moto X4 is sure an eye-catching upper mid-range smartphone, with a polished glass back and dual camera setup.
The full specs and features of the upcoming Moto X4 are now out, along with a fresh and sharp press render showing two snazzy paint jobs.
Brazil's National Telecommunications Agency knows how the Moto X4 will look when it's finally released, and now we do too.
We've known the name for a while now, the specs and features are also out in the open, and now here's the unreleased Moto X4 in all its glory.
There's also speculation that the rest of the world may get a new Moto device before the end of the month. But other details make it all sketchy.
The official Android 7.0 Nougat update for the "shatterproof", international Moto X Force is a few months late, but it's still more than welcomed.
For the remainder of the year, Lenovo still has a bunch of Motorola smartphone launches planned, apparently, including a Moto Z2 Force, X4, gS and gS+.
This year's Moto X will supposedly take two forms and may come in others as well. Maybe it will come in one. It just depends on what specs we get.
Lenovo almost definitely has non-flagship Moto E4 and Moto C phones in the pipeline, but it's hard to be certain of the two's specs right now.
And if it were not for the two cameras on the back instead of the one, you wouldnt be able to tell it apart from the Moto G5 Plus.
Not only is the Moto Z Play again slated for a Nougat update in March, but the previous-generation Moto X Style, Force and Play have to wait until May now.
It's not a dream or hallucination. That Moto X (2017) you've been wishing for is almost here, and it looks both different and similar to the Moto Z.
Rumors say that Motorola will be sole leader on the Moto Z, Lenovo will take the Moto X while the company may contract an ODM for the Moto E.
Nintendo showed off the Switch. LeEco showed off the Le Pro 3, and the FCC showed off some fines for T-Mobile. #PNWeekly podcast 223!
Onwhite made the colorful, complex and glassy wallpapers that you'll find on many a new Moto-branded Lenovo phone. But what's this unused phone?
Shots have been fired on Twitter in Samsung's direction, with Motorola claiming it did the Always On Display thing first, which is true, but incomplete.

Arizona high schools forced to seek creative funding solutions for athletics
By Tyler Freader | Friday, Aug. 28, 2015
Perry High School's badminton team is good.
Perry High School's badminton team is good.
Former NCAA Division III Puget Sound forward Robert Krauel frequently squeezes in a workout on his lunch break from his job at Grand Canyon University.
TUCSON — The well-dressed horse trainer with the signature white hair and dark sunglasses who was the darling of the sports media this spring got his start in the racing industry in the most unlikely of places. Before Bob Baffert trained the first Triple Crown winner in 47 years, he cultivated his tradecraft in Tucson.
More than 30 years ago, Dot Murphy, former All-American and women's basketball coach at Mississippi University for Women, sat with her children at Hinds Community College football practice watching her husband, Gene, coach the Eagles defense.
WINDOW ROCK — At 5:15 a.m., sunrise is only a thin pale highlight over red rock mesas in the east as Alicia Hale steps out of her house for her daily run. Even in June, the morning is so chilly at an altitude of almost 7,000 feet that she needs several layers to stay warm.
The first thing Bernie Ray looks at when the Diamondbacks announce their schedule is the promotional games. She hasn't missed one of them. After all, an A.J. Pollock Star Wars bobblehead is worth planning for.
TEMPE - Hockey leaders in Phoenix unveiled an Arizona Coyotes jersey with the No. 15 and Sun Devils on the back Wednesday, signifying a union of the two hockey giants.

Fashion photographer Bruce Weber boasts a longstanding career that has produced some of the most groundbreaking and controversial campaigns within the fashion industry. Having risen to prominence through an editorial shoot for the SoHo Weekly News with water polo player Jeff Aquilon, Weber went on to produce a series of Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren campaigns with male athletes such as Tom Hintnaus and Andy Minsker, spearheading the muscled, sporty ideal for male models within the industry.
In January 2018 Weber, along with photographer Mario Testino , was accused of sexual exploitation in an investigation by The New York Times. Fifteen current and former male models accused the photographer of a pattern of coercive sexual behaviour. Representatives of the photographer objected to the allegations and Weber denied them in a statement.
The prolific photographer collaborated on numerous campaigns for the likes of Versace, Carolina Herrera , Moncler, and Abercrombie & Fitch. He has also collaborated on editorials and cover shoots for several major fashion publications, most recently for CR Fashion Book and Vanity Fair. Having initially trained in theatre studies in Ohio, Weber moved to New York in the early '60s, pursuing film direction at New York University and working briefly as a model. In the mid-'60s, following encouragement from American photographer Diane Arbus, Weber joined The New School for Social Research training under famed photographer Lisette Model.
In 1974, Weber held his first solo showcase at the Razor Gallery in New York, landing editorials in Glamour and GQ, before debuting in Vogue in 1978. By 1982 the photographer was credited by The New York Times as one of the pre-eminent fashion photographers of the time, in line with greats such as Helmut Newton and Irving Penn.
Weber has also produced a number of films and creative shorts including the Oscar-nominated Let's Get Lost, released in 1988. Alongside several exhibitions held in museums such as the National Portrait Gallery in London and the Parco Exposure Gallery in Tokyo, several of Weber's photographs have also been held in the permanent collections of the Victoria & Albert museum and the Museum of Modern Art in Paris.
Weber has published over thirty books including the "All American" series and several other monographs.

With Sindhu Thirumalaisamy and Pooja Gupta, 2011
HD video, 6:45 minutes
The Dharmambudhi Tank area, presently Kempegowda Bus Stand, is the heart of Bangalore City. Over the last 100 years it has transformed from being a tank that once had floating Bharatnatyam dancers to welcome Prince Albert, to an exhibition ground hosting satirical plays during the emergency to an inter-state bus stand. Now, at a time when it is about to take on its newest avatar, that of a metro station, we interviewed four people— a priest of a temple once situated at its banks, an erstwhile high-schooler of a Gandhi Nagar school, the wife of an engineer who worked on the KSRTC bus stand and Master Hirannaiah a renowned theatre actor—who express their memories, hopes and fears of the tank area and of urban development at large.
This film was part of the Water Stories project at Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology, led by oral historian Dr. Indira Chowdhury.

"The Costa Rica trip changed my life for the better. Learning about the environment, the culture, and how to live life by "Pura Vida" helped me learn what really is important in life. I learned that stressing out about school, tests, and sports is unnecessary in the big picture of life."
~ Ellie - Student April 2018
"My 14 yr old daughter went on the spring 2018 trip and has not stopped talking about the things she did and learned about the culture, ecosystem, wildlife and communities. Fully chaperoned, no electronics, encouragement to speak Spanish and write in journals nightly; an amazing experience which included zip lining, service at an orphanage and wildlife restoration project, encouragement to taste the local cuisine and they even had time to enjoy the beautiful Costa Rican beach. I highly recommend this tour group- although I'd like to keep them a secret to ensure a spot on future trips for my other daughter!! "
- Kirsten N. - Mother to student - april 2018
"I am truly honored to have been part of Learning Adventure Tours group to Costa Rica! And man, oh man, was this trip was incredible!! Kenneth and Tisha showed us the past, present, and future of this beautiful country. We stayed in the jungle for a few nights, and stayed in a beach town for the remaining and we saw everything in-between. From hiking, night tours, zip-linging(!!!!), and authentic costa rican meals, to ecology, biology, and conservation efforts, this trip was (no joke) life-changing.
Kenneth and Tisha are knowledgeable, friendly, and patient, all with smiles and laughter! If you ever have the opportunity to travel with these two, DO IT!!"
-Kiry L - March 2017
"This was truly THE BEST travel experience of my life. I have been to Mexico many times even driving through the Yucatan Peninsula. I've done Hawaii, France, the Canadian Rockies, the Alaskan wilderness, and all over the USA. This trip was life changing and the group of people became new friends and family. Even more was/is to appreciate the diversity in all of us, to know that as we came back to the USA, we were ALL Americans in this time of upheaval in American History. Keep up the excellent enjoyable work you are doing. Not only are you making a difference in the world, you are planting seeds in each of us to go home and do the same.
Much, Much Love and Blessings on your journey!"
-Dana P - March 2017
"We had the pleasure of having this dynamic duo lead us on an adventure that we will never forget! From the breathtaking views of Arenal Volcano, relaxing in the natural hot springs of EcoTermales in beautiful La Fortuna, a guided night tour, safari river float, an exhilarating zip lining adventure, a visit with our friends at Altrus Wildlife Sanctuary, and a very special day spent with Kenneth's family in his home town of San Isidro - where we learned all about the amazing plans for the future of their wildlife retreat! Each day was filled with a nice balance of learning, adventure and just pure fun! It helps that Kenneth and Tisha are so passionate about what they do and it shows! They guided us through every destination with kindness, professionalism and care. I will forever be grateful for the lasting memories. Cheers to mi familia .
Thank you to Tisha and Kenneth for planning such an amazing trip!"
-Chanthy T- March 2017
"You guys are superheroes, somehow managing to be sweet and confident, all the while dealing with our group (like herding cats) as well as driving the whole time! You guys are wonderful and made the experience a life changing one. Love you guys!"
melena W - March 2017
"Kenneth was recommended as a great wildlife tour guide to me through a family friend. Kenneth speaks excellent English, is passionate about his conservation work, and knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of Costa Rica. I highly recommend him as a tour guide!"
-Heather F- July 2016
"My husband and I met Kenneth during a night reptile tour in Costa Rica. I had a cold and it had been raining all day-so our tropical vacation from the Pacific NW was feeling a little disappointing. We ended up being the only other people on the tour and look back on it as a major highlight and turning point of the trip. Kenneth was exceptionally personable, knowledgeable and excited about his work. His enthusiasm and pride about the conservation efforts of his company were palpable. His tour felt fresh and like he was excitedly showing his friends his back yard-not always the case on a paid tour. Thank you for the great memories and PHOTOS!"
-Karen S- June 2016
"Kenneth is an incredibly passionate and very knowledgeable guide in his native country of Costa Rica! We were so lucky to meet him!
His sense of humor and love for nature makes him an outstanding tour guide!
He took us on the tour of our life in beautiful Costa Rica......remote waterfalls with deep blue swimming holes, natural hot springs, fishing, home made traditional Costa Rica meals, along with sharing his knowledge of the land and every animal and insect that lives there, and we even we able to spot the ever elusive quetzal bird.
We can't way to return!"

Great base layer for a ride around the neighborhood and on the trails. Perfect about of storage.
I purchased this item to hold my cycling head lamp battery on night rides. I haven't hit the trails under the stars just yet, but I have used this item while running on the treadmill to hold my cell phone so I could used standard (wired) earbuds while I ran. I was impressed with how well this product kept the phone in place. I never once thought about the phone in the back-center pocket at all during my 5 mile treadmill ripper. I was so happy with this product that I just ordered another one this morning, literally, no bull. I am excited to hit some singletrack under the cloak of darkness with this base layer soon.
Very comfortable as a base layer for Autumn riding. I imagine it will be perfect for balmy hot summer riding here in the Northeast.
It is perfect to wear under a looser jersey or shirt to carry the basic stuff...phone and tools. It is pretty snug...I liked it, but if you are in between sizes or like base layers a little looser I jump a size up..Godspeed and Happy trails!
Love the rear pockets to store phone, etc while wearing loose shirt over it!

How to fix Excel Error: 'excel found unreadable content in filename.xls'
when I was trying to open Excel report, it shows following error message:
If I click on 'Yes' option, it says that Excel was able to open the file by repairing or removing the unreadable content. Excel recovered your formulas and cell values, but some data may have been lost.
When I checked this message, I was afraid to use this option because I didn't want to lost my data at any cost.
This error may be arise due to file corruption or there is also possibility that one or many of file components get corrupted.
- If any previous versions of file is available then you should start rebuilding it from there.
- Try to modify the properties of 'xls' file into Read-only, and try to open it again.
- Create a new xls file & try to copy everything from corrupt file to new one then save and try to open it again.
- Install the Visual Basic component in Office 2010. Sometimes it resolved the error. Follow these steps: Control Panel > Programs > select Microsoft Office 2010 and click on Change > Add or Remove Programs > at the bottom of the list click on the plus next to Office Shared Features > select Visual Basic for Applications > I right clicked and chose Run from My computer > Continue. Reboot when it has finished.
Here is one another solution if needed:
The one more successful solution is Excel Repair Software. These software helps when all methods get failed to repair corrupt Excel file & its objects.
If you are still getting same error then I will suggest you to completely removed the MS-Office & fresh install MS-Office.

Verizon Communications Inc. said Google Inc.'s $12.5 billion bid for Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. was a welcome development because it may bring "stability" to a recent slate of smartphone patent disputes, though it stopped short of totally endorsing the proposed acquisition. "Google should be in a much better position to protect itself and its partners from legal attacks," said Robert W. Baird & Co. analyst William Power, noting that Libertyville, Ill.-based Motorola has an additional 7,500 patents pending.

A Gathering of Saints
By Christopher Hyde
London, 1940, the Blitz: German planes swooping in at night to drop their bombs on London and other targets in Britain. In the midst of the chaos and destruction, a sick mind takes advantage and kills, thinking perhaps one more body will not be noticed by the authorities. But the police do notice, and as the killer stikes again, it becomes apparent that he has advance knowledge of when and where the Germans will be striking. Who he is and how he is getting his information is not just a matter for the police: now it is a vital concern of national security!
Detective Morris Black is assigned to the investigation at the beginning. But before long, the British Secret Service has co-opted the investigation and Morris Black too. He will be privy to secrets that very few are allowed to know, including the secret of Ultra, the ingenious decoder that lets the British decipher all of Germany's secret communications. And yet somehow a madman has gained access to Ultra and is using it to plan his murders. And to complicate things further, a German agent has also gotten wind of the killer and is on his own mission to discover how "Queer Jack" knows in advance about Germany's bombing runs.
This was an extremely exciting and interesting murder mystery, set in perilous times with Detective Morris Black trying to conduct his investigation with the bombs literally falling around him. And the story also includes some very interesting history of that time, including how close English sympathizers in the government and with close ties to the government came to making a secret deal with Hitler to pretty much turn the country over to the enemy!
But one thing I did have against the story was its ending, which was more than a little disappointing. Bit of a spoiler here: but I always like a happy ending and this book doesn't really have one. However, despite the ending, overall I really enjoyed reading this taut and engaging mystery.

'A Field in England'
This one's for all the people out there who have been clamoring for Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas meets The Three Musketeers. That's an admittedly clumsy introduction, but it comes for a film that, well, kind of inspires such a reaction. For better and for worse, A Field in England is mostly just odd -- so odd that pitching it as a combination of two more well known tales doesn't feel appropriate, only it feels like the sole way possible to describe it.
Fittingly, it takes place entirely in a series of fields during the English Civil War. For those of you aren't history majors, that sets the film in the 17th century, an awkward era with primitive-looking guns, frilly shirts, full armor and Royalists pitted against Parliamentarians. In the wake of an apparently bloody battle, a makeshift band of men from all walks of life, weary from the battle, make for an alehouse that one of their band claims to know the location of.
The alehouse, unbeknownst to most of them, is a ruse designed to draw them to away from the battlefield and to O'Neill (Michael Smiley) an Irishman-cum-devil figure intent on using the talents of alchemist/foppish intellectual in the group, Whitehead (Reece Shearsmith), and the brute strength of Jacob (Peter Ferdinando) and Friend (Richard Glover) to unearth buried treasure.
O'Neill and his accomplice in the band, Cutler (Ryan Pope), feed the other three members a steady diet of hallucinogenic mushrooms to get their compliance in treasure hunting (read: digging holes) in an empty field. Ben Wheatley, who directed and co-wrote the film, shot A Field in England entirely in black and white, presumably to capitalize on the opportunities this afforded him with hallucinogens featured prominently in the plot. The film, or at least my rental of it, came with a warning about the entrancing strobe-like effects, and it's one well taken. The last 30 minutes made me feel like I was staring directly at Hypnotoad.
Wheatley wasn't bashful about taking (again, presumably) liberties with the continuity of the plot. Friend is shot and killed by Cutler then, of course, he reappears later in the story, alive and well, as Whitehead and Jacob attempt to vanquish O'Neill once and for all.
The dimwitted Friend steals the film with a few well-timed comedic lines, but he also sums up A Field in England when, tripping, he says something to the effect of "I'm not sure what's going on, but this is pretty awesome." (I'm paraphrasing here -- the script itself would never feature an anachronism like the word awesome in this context.) That's basically the film. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but it's amusing and, even with black and white footage being suddenly quite common, aesthetically pleasing.


text: I'm often asked to explain exactly what I do for work. I think most people get that I am a "personal shopper," but I think the whole "wardrobe stylist" reference can be perplexing. So, I am a wardrobe stylist specializing in personal (individuals), commercial (businesses) and editorial (magazine) work. I recently got my hands on some photos from a commercial job last summer for Meineke. We shot in August and in the South. It was about 95 degrees and humid, that day, like most summer days here are. So the image below with the young people having fun going camping; Yep! It was smoking hot, and they were layered in cold weather clothing. There was even a campfire scene! I thought I'd share are a few outtakes and fun shots from the two days on set for Meineke. Days like this are typically very long and hard working but a LOT of fun!

The Custom Device Exemption: What Is It And Does It Ever Apply?
In 1976, Congress enacted the Medical Device Amendments (MDA). This law, now part of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), generally requires FDA clearance or approval before a new device can be marketed in the United States. Congress enacted an exception, however, for custom devices. A device that qualifies as a custom device is exempt from FDA premarket clearance or approval.
The custom device exemption states that a device "which, in order to comply with the order of an individual physician or dentist. . .necessarily deviates from an otherwise applicable performance standard or [premarket approval requirement]," is not subject to performance standards or premarket approval.
However, to be considered custom, a device has to meet certain criteria. According to the FD&C Act, the device should not generally be "available in finished form for purchase or for dispensing upon prescription and is not offered through labeling or advertising." The device must also be intended for use by an individual patient who is named. In addition, the device must be made in a specific form for that patient, or intended to meet special needs "in the course of the professional practice" of a specific physician or dentist but is "not generally available to or generally used by other physicians or dentists."1

How can I reduce and tune the amount of private storage that my CICS Temporary Storage Queue Server address space is using? I found that the TSQ address space uses the most private storage of any address space on the LPAR.
Answer by Erich Hoppe (1407) | Apr 21, 2016 at 09:25 AM
You can control the amount of private storage obtained by the Temporary Storage Queue Servers address space with a suitable REGION= parameter on the CICS jobcard. If you specify "REGION=0" then the CICS region gets as much storage as it can which might be the reason the TS Queue address space has the largest private storage usage on the LPAR.
When I was first looking at this problem, I took a look at the Defining temporary storage pools for temporary storage data sharing in the CICS Transaction Server for z/OS (CICS TS) documentation and was led to think the solution would be a change to the storage usage in the coupling facility. However, I found that this does not affect the private storage usage in the TS Queue server address space very much.

Destiny 2 How to Buy Annual Pass on Xbox Without Forsaken
The first bit of content from Destiny 2's Annual Pass has been released. It's the Black Armory, a series of forges that will make you do stuff and reward you with stuff. Since it has gone live, a number of Xbox players have complained about being unable to find the season pass on the Microsoft Store, without it being lumped in with the Forsaken DLC. Obviously, nobody wants to buy stuff they already own again, which is why we've decided to investigate and write a guide on how to buy Destiny 2 annual pass without Forsaken DLC.
How to buy Destiny 2 season pass on Xbox?
First of all, give up on the idea of buying it straight from the game. It doesn't work. When you search the Microsoft Store, you'll notice two results pop up for Destiny 2 Annual Pass. Both have Forsaken in the title, as that's the full name of the product, but only one actually contains the Forsaken DLC. If you're using this method, you should choose the second result.
However, we suggest you just follow this link instead. It should lead you to the season pass' store page. You'll need to be logged in before you can actually see the price and buy it, because the store (for some dubious reason) doesn't show you the price before it can check whether you're allowed to buy it. Since you can't access the annual pass content without Forsaken, the store won't let you buy it if you don't have the DLC already.
If you still have issues finding it after all this, you could try restarting your console. If you're accessing the store from another device, try using the console instead. This shouldn't b a problem, but it so often is that it's worth giving a shot.
One COMMENT
Ive got Forsaken already but I still cant seem to download the Annual Pass on its own… HELP!

Escher in Germany. Their site can be hard to use as you need some German. Google translate's not much help but they do have useful stuff.
Gawa Guzzi is also in Germany. They have been the only source for some genuine V7Sport parts I've needed but their stock is going. Complicated and expensive to order from outside the Euro zone as they insist on payment by bank transfer. No Paypal or credit card payments but you can view the site in English.
I've not used HMB Guzzi but it looks like they could be useful. Again based in Germany. On line ordering and English option for website.
Agostini Mandello, Italy are in the same place as the factory and supply parts. However there is no on line search or ordering and I've never used them.
Stucci Luigi I have used. Also in Italy, their web site can be fiddly to use but may yield results.

I've never used Moto International who are also in the USA and stock parts.
Same goes for MG Cycle also in the USA.
Cycle Garden in California specialise in old Guzzis and have had some obsolete parts made. I particularly like the look of their V7Sport seat covers.
Reboot Guzzi Spares is an English Guzzi breaker based in France. Pete doesn't really cover pre '76 bikes but sometimes can help out as the parts carried over to later models.
Dell'Orto UK for carburettor parts. VHB carbs are under "vintage".
Beedspeed International Scooter Spares are also a source for some hard to find Dell'Orto parts as their carbs were used on scooters too! I've struck lucky before.
Technical data
Cycle Garden in California have factory workshop manuals and parts lists for the V7Sport (and others) on their website.

Details & Summary:
Title: The Hate U Give
Author: Angie Thomas
Publisher: Balzer + Bray / HarperCollins
Release Date: February 28th 2017
Pages: 464
Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed. Soon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil's name. Some cops and the local drug lord try to intimidate Starr and her family. What everyone wants to know is: what really went down that night? And the only person alive who can answer that is Starr. But what Starr does or does not say could upend her community. It could also endanger her life.
My thoughts…
"Sometimes you can do everything right and things will still go wrong. The key is to never stop doing right."
I don't think I've ever read a more hyped book than this one. It's THE book to read in 2017. The IT book, if you will. But I don't think those titles do the book justice. This isn't the kind of book you should read simply because you want to read what everyone else is reading. It's not the kind of book that should rise to the top in 2017 only to be forgotten when the next big thing comes around.
This book should be read because it's an honest account of what's happening in America right now and it's important that everyone is aware of it.
I'll be perfectly honest here: as a white, non-American citizen I didn't know how bad it was / is. Yes, I saw it on the news. Yes, I read the articles. Yes, I saw the anger and outrage on Twitter. But we all know the media can twist things around and show things the way they want you to see it. Simply put: I didn't understand until I read the Hate U Give and I know there are a lot of people (American or not) who're in the same position.
That's why I'm really happy this book has gained the attention it deserves. Because it will force people to understand and see the truth.
Aside from its sociopolitical importance, the Hate U Give is also a well-written, powerful, and amazing book about a sixteen-year-old girl who's trying to find her voice. It's not easy because Starr's fear of the system, a system that's working against her, is palatable. Fear of the system is what keeps her from speaking up for most of the story even though she's outraged her best friend Khalil was murdered.
I've seen it happen over and over again: a black person gets killed just for being black, and all hell breaks loose. I've Tweeted RIP hashtags, reblogged pictures on Tumblr, and signed every petition out there. I always said that if I saw it happen to somebody, I would have the loudest voice, making sure the world knew what went down.
Now I am that person, and I'm too afraid to speak.
But with the support of her loving family and through figuring out complicated friendships and her relationship with her boyfriend Chris, she finds her voice and speaks up.
"The truth casts a shadow over the kitchen—people like us in situations like this become hashtags, but they rarely get justice. I think we all wait for that one time though, that one time when it ends right.
Maybe this can be it."
Angie Thomas found a good balance between the fight for justice and the different relationship dynamics. It's all intertwined and it comes together beautifully in the end. And while the way she portrays the fight for justice deserves to be applauded, she also deserves credit for building complex characters and relationships. I loved how there was room for jokes and laughter and family bonding and typical high school drama amidst the chaos and the injustice.
"You still got that old laptop? The one you had before we bought you that expensive-ass fruit one?"
I laugh. "It's an Apple MacBook, Daddy."
"It damn sure wasn't the price of an apple.
The Hate U Give should be mandatory reading. It delivers an important and timely sociopolitical message inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement and shows that there's always two sides to a story even when one side is silenced. But it's also a stunning, well-written book about a sixteen-year-old girl who finds herself and her voice.
