Have you noticed 7th graders scurrying around audio and video equipment at school recitals, plays, and other performances? Find out who they are by reading the piece below by Thomas Flanagan, our long-time After School Music Program coordinator and guitar teacher.
Last year, I approached Justine with the idea of starting a Middle School TPS production crew. With a green light, her best wishes, and the support of the MS teachers, things began to take shape. A few students who had shown great interest, as well as some experience in audio and video recording emerged from the 7th grade. From there, we formed our production crew.
Since October, we have met weekly to discuss equipment, techniques, strategies for recording events, our hopes and dreams, and then the fun times began. Currently, our video crew is Sam Gualtieri (who created and edited the comedy https://vimeo.com/129736679)and Jalen Ramseur-Williams, who is always ready with a creative idea, energy, and enthusiasm. Our audio crew is made up of two wonderful young musicians, Arthur LaBan and Josh Zeelander, who you may recognize singing and playing guitar in our Earth Day video https://vimeo.com/125919868.
It has been our pleasure to record and document several artistic performances throughout the year, including a three-camera angle shoot of both 8th grade Shakespeare plays (Much Ado About Nothing https://vimeo.com/129140747 and The Tempest https://vimeo.com/124553626), the 3rd grade plays https://vimeo.com/129340494, the K-8 Winter Concert https://vimeo.com/129736680, and the Preschool/Kindergarten Winter Music Celebration https://vimeo.com/129736681.
We are looking forward to continuing our work and play next year, so please keep an ear and an eye open for future releases. Until then, stay tuned and enjoy your summer! - Thomas Flanagan

In addition to completing your courses and applying for your real estate licence there is quite a bit more homework you should do before you launch your real estate career. My advice is to slow down and carefully consider the following 3 crucial steps before you get on that rocket.
Step 1: Choose Success
Success in real estate doesn't eventuate from an attitude of "I'll give it a try and see how I go". Either you decide that you are going to do whatever it takes to be a success in real estate or you don't. Like Yoda says "Do or Do Not. There is No Try." There are parts of our roles that we all love and some parts of it that we don't. Professional sports people love playing on game day but don't always enjoy training. Likewise if you want to win in real estate you must be willing to commit to the daily grind and the glory will come. Real estate career success is born of systematic discipline and there are no short cuts. After all most of the real estate stars of today have been working away consistently for 10 years or more.
Step 2: Choose Your Market
When I started in real estate I had an infatuation with high-rise apartments. My thought process went something like this: "High-rise apartments are glamorous and there are lots of them." So I blindly jumped head first into one of Australia's most competitive real estate markets and quickly became a real estate ninja. Luckily I had chosen the right office to work from and I learned from the best of the best in the industry. However, I burnt myself out within a few years and could have made a whole lot more money if I'd have known what I'm about to tell you.
When choosing a market, consider
- The mix of owner occupiers and investors
- How many properties turn over in any given year and the average sale price
- How many real estate agents and agencies are in the area
Step 3: Choose the Right Principal
Once you've decided on a market you need to decide on which agency you'd like to work for. This is one of the most important considerations. Changing agency once you are up and running can be very tricky to negotiate as there should seldom be a time when you do not have current listings and you are not awaiting commissions.
Culture is a buzzword buzzed around by many mindless twats and it is true that it's vital to find a good fit within an organisation. As the culture of the business is lead from the head of the business you must observe the Principal of the agencies you're interested in and find out what their values and presence in the market is like. Sales managers come and go so it's the Principal of the agency who is the one who should be the anchor of the organisation. Get to know the Principal as well as you can. Invite the Principal for coffee. Attend all the events you can including sales meetings, open homes, auctions, training sessions and ask yourself:
TRUST: Would I trust this person to sell my grandmother's house?
TRAINING: Is this person a good trainer?
FAIR: Does this person seem fair and honest in their dealings?
LEADER: Can I count on this person to lead me in the direction of my chosen career?
PROFESSIONAL: Is this person a full time real estate professional, semi retired or hungover every day?
INSPIRATIONAL: Do they inspire and excite you or otherwise?
If you're comfortable that you have the commitment and stamina, a fruitful market and a professional office with all the support and training you need to get you going then you're ready to launch your real estate career. Your success is your choice.

Accelerating CI/CD with Data Management On Premise and Cloud
Register for this session Here
Updating DevOps to the latest production data slows down your development cycle. Probably it is due to slow, inefficient conventional data management practices to copy data between different developer and test environment. This problem doesn't scale as teams are adopting faster software release cycles.
In this session, Dhiraj Sehgal in Product and Solution at Delphix, will talk about DevOps and cloud-focused strategies to update hundreds of developer and test copies with updates from a master database in minutes, saving hours or even days in each development cycle. He will also discuss how new practices in DataOps to manage data across multiple sources is making their life easier and helps becoming invisible to developers for data provisioning.

Review of The Greens At Cannondale - Wilton, CT
The Greens best over backwards to accommodate my aunt her dog during her stay. They could not have been nicer to her and her family. This is a beautiful facility with a friendly and caring staff.
Review of The Greens At Cannondale - Wilton, CT
I toured this facility, when looking for an assisted living arrangements for my aunt. I visited several facilities and the quality and service I witnessed for exceeded the others. My aunt was moved in and throughout her stay I was very comfortable knowing that she was being very well cared for. They also had a great deal of compassion during her last days.
Warm and inviting
I have just started to look for my mom. I live out of state , but mom and siblings live in CT and NY., so our search has been very broad. The Greens at Cannondale is definitely in our top 3. What I liked most was the warm feeling I had when I walked in the front door. People were lovely, there seemed like a lot going on- great energy. Most of all, I never felt pressure. The "tour" was really relaxed and I felt this was a place my mother would feel right at home. What seemed really fun was they had a golf cart that they were using to drive residents to and from a BBQ located in the rear of the building near their large vegetable garden. I was even invited to join! I felt very welcome.
My loved one's experience at this facility was wonderful. The staff was kind and attentive. The food and entertainment wad wonderful. I would not hesitate to join. Wilton Greens when I need it. Bravo!

I have to admit that my brothers and I were nervous to move over Mom. The staff at the The Greens are simply the best customer service, food, nursing, transportation, and housekeeping. My Mom has no complaints! The grounds, by the way, are amazing. Thank you Greens for everything you do.

Impressive – Homelike Friendly. Staff was interactive with their seniors, activities were engaging. Very clean & updated community my parents were impressed. I feel a safe & loving environment to have my parents complete their lives.

If your loved one has Alzheimer's, please take my advice and take home anything of value that they may have . Do not trust that their belongings will be placed in safe keeping. My Mother passed away and all her belongings disappeared. I made the mistake of trusting her care givers to put anything of value in safe keeping like I was told they would. Now her jewelry and other things are gone. Considering how expensive this place is, you would think they would be more careful with their residents belongings.
Take all valuables home with you, do not leave them there!

We found the perfect forever home for our parents!
My parents have been at the Greens for a year and our family has been very very pleased. While it is expensive, our parents are receiving tremendous care. The aides assigned to them (part of the perks of their particular living arrangement) assume responsibility for my parents, and treat them with great patience and kindness. I am at the Greens a lot and have personally observed that other residents are also treated with kindness and caring by aides, nurses, administrators, dining room staff, and recreation and transportation personnel. From the very beginning, our family felt at home in the comfortable and elegant surroundings at the Greens and that has only grown over time. My parents (and I) have also really enjoyed the delicious food (the Italian chef is wonderful and also very sweet to the residents). The live piano music at meals and frequently at other times during the day further enhance the quality of life. My mom has also enjoyed Bingo and jewelry making (very good quality materials). The Greens does not skimp on quality or nickel and dime families. This again makes for a more homelike feeling in which staff demonstrate genuine concern for residents' happiness and well being. My sisters and I are so relieved and grateful we have found the perfect place for our parents.

Dad's New Home
We moved my father in this past summer and I must say it was a decision that was quite difficult for my entire family. My mother had passed away very suddenly in the spring, leaving my dad in such despair. The thought of living in the home that he and my mom had lived in and loved for 40+ years, raising six rambunctious kids, seemed to overwhelm my dad. He had never cooked a meal for himself, planned a night out on the town, or even scheduled a doctor's appt. without my mother's help. My brothers and and I had never seen my dad in such a vulnerable and lost state. He had always been our rock and now seemed so frail. One of my co-workers knew how difficult this was and mentioned assisted living. My brother, Bill and I visited The Greens at Cannondale and were immediately impressed by the warm and welcoming greeting we received. To this day I cannot put my finger on what it was, but it just felt like home.
Dad has settled in nicely, and made some great friends. Although nothing can replace the loss of mom, The Greens has given my father a renewed outlook on life, for which my brothers and I will always be grateful. We could not ask for a better place for dad to call home.

In the top three.
This was one of the three communities I had narrowed it down to. They were all very comparable, and really came down to personality. It's nice to choose based on atmosphere and decoration. There are a couple of good places in this area and this is one of them.

Don't even consider this facility
The Nursing Supervisor is heart-less. She only cares about herself and knows of many nurses and aides who are not doing their jobs, yet looks the other way because they are her friends. There are multiple medication errrors that have sent Residents to the hospital ER. Very poor supervision. In addition, the food is inedible. Every resident complains about it and yet nothing is done. In addition, they have problems with infection control. We have repetedly told the Administrator that the disinfecting hand machines are empty yet they are never refilled. I saw an EMT who had responded to a fall emergency try to use one in vain. Also, there are many falls. Poor oversight. Don't place your loved one here. There are many open apartments and they are looking to lay off staff. You can find a better place for your loved one. I have first hand knowledge.

I would describe this community as adequate. Residents seemed safe and clean enough, though there was a permeating scent of air freshener in the air (possibly covering odors), which didn't appeal to me - wall-to-wall carpet probably didn't help. I didn't notice many aides interacting with residents, and the only activity I saw was watching television. Staff often walked past residents without greeting/acknowledging them and didn't seem very engaged/friendly, which bothered me. The few indoor plants I saw were brown and half-dead. Half of the building has been renovated (with plans to finish the rest shortly), and the bathrooms in those apartments had large showers with a built-in bench, very stylish. Country views/setting. But overall, it felt past its prime - this is not on my short list.

Aids Need Better Training, Otherwise the Place is Great!
I love the place the only thing that's disappointing to me is that my mom requires a lot of care and at the aid level it's not being delivered. The nurses are phenomenal but the aids are always in a rush. I feel like I constantly have to be on top of them. So that's what I feel their only fault is, the quality of the aids.
Other than that, I really like the whole place. It's a beautiful place. I love the activities. They have very high level and appropriate activities. They're not insulting to the intelligence of the residents. They have great, simulating activities and the food is great too. Everything is 100% except for the aids. I feel like they weren't prepared for the level of care that we're paying for. I don't think the aids were trained properly. It's not the nurses at all - they're great. And overall the place is great. It's better than any thing else I've seen.

Great, but Very Expensive
I really liked this community, but it was a lot more expensive. It was over the top in terms of what they offered. It was like, take Brookdale and blow it out of the water with of some of the things that they do. It was much more expensive, though, and it wasn't worth it when you're trying to make sure that the budget covers things from a lifetime perspective.

I love that when you get a new handbag it gets its own seat at brunch, is usually no where near the floor and is neatly organized inside. Cut to three years later when it is stuffed with your laptop, snacks for later and a pair of ballet flats and casually flung on the ground. I treat my things nice but an everyday bag really gets put through the ringer.
My trusty Tory Burch has seen better days and it's time for a replacement. There are endless options out there but I've narrowed it down to these few. Now you wont see any $1k+ bags on my list, that just isn't practical for me and my schlepping. What is your go-to everyday bag?

Lidl shoppers feeling flat after prosecco queues
After the queues came the recriminations.
When supermarket Lidl offered boxes of budget booze, bargain hunters arrived early, lining up across the country in their hundreds, in search of cheap prosecco to toast the bank holiday weekend.
But with limited supply and purchase restrictions in place, many intrepid fizz-hunters were left empty-handed and feeling flat.
And cross. Some were very cross indeed.
It seems that the country has now effectively divided into two camps - those who arrived at Lidl early enough to purchase cheap prosecco, and everyone else.
The first group can be identified by their characteristic desire to tell anyone who will listen that they bought some prosecco.
"Early bird catches the worm," wrote one social media user, sharing a picture of his bounty.
The second group may display symptoms including regret, confusion and rage.
"Couldn't be more fuming that I sacrificed my Saturday sleep in for Lidl prosecco and they've sold out by 8.07," wrote one disappointed shopper on Twitter.
"My weekend is ruined," another lamented.
Shoppers claimed stores had sold out as early as 8am, with many complaining that stock was too limited. Many reported that just 20 cases of prosecco were made available to each store with some feeling short changed as a result.
"Misleading of Lidl to promote all month and never mention [the sale was] limited to just twenty cases of cheap prosecco per store," one social media user commented, reflecting the mood of many.
A spokesperson for Lidl said the deal had been limited "to ensure as many customers as possible" could benefit from the offer.
"We have, however, experienced unprecedented demand and sincerely apologise to anyone that hasn't been able to take advantage of the offer on this occasion."
Not everyone was upset by the terms and conditions, however.

Politics & Government
Macon council will consider new rules for public comment
A Macon City Council committee is scheduled to meet Wednesday and talk about whether the council should change the way it hears public comments.
Currently, almost anyone who signs up beforehand can take five minutes to address the council before it gets into the meat of its council meetings. Many people who comment are regulars, and they frequently stray into areas that the council has little to no power over.
A proposed change would still allow people to comment on a range of issues, but it would move those who want to discuss things that aren't on the council's evening agenda to the end of the meeting. It would also limit them to three minutes each. Those wishing to speak on specific agenda items would get five minutes each near the beginning of the meeting.
Councilwoman Nancy White, one of the sponsors of the potential new comment rules, said the council has to strike "a delicate balance" between protecting free speech and keeping meetings professional.
Councilman Charles Jones said he'll resist any changes. "We work for (the public). They don't work for us," he said. The potential changes will be discussed Wednesday by the council's Rules Committee, which White chairs. The meeting is scheduled for 4 p.m. at City Hall.

The Love Walk encourages couples to spend time together without interruptions, to talk and learn to understand each other better and rekindle their first love. For singles, it was an ideal opportunity to find out more about one another and see if they share the same values and have any interest in dating.
This event is part of the Universal Church's important outreach initiative to help singles prepare for marriage and offer couples skills to enable them to overcome difficulties and deepen and strengthen their life-long relationship, saying no to divorce.
Besides wanting people to live together happily, a successful marriage is the foundation of society and stable, happy homes are where children learn about relationships and thrive. The Universal Church undertakes this important work as an investment in transforming society for future generations.
Opening the Love Walk in Johannesburg, Pastor Wladimir stressed the importance of open and honest communication, saying that without this essential ingredient in a marriage, couples cannot develop their relationship and their marriage may not survive.
Speaking to married couples he said: "I encourage you to spend this time together to renew your first love. When we have been married for some time, we get used to having our partner around and the initial excitement wears off. We no longer have time for each other because the pressures of daily life are demanding. But, as Bishop Marcelo says, If you don't make time for love, love will not make time for you. Use this time together to talk and listen and find each other again. Spend quality time together and leave here changed and equipped for a deeper and more meaningful partnership."
For engaged couples, this was a morning to discover more about each other and prepare for their life-long union by developing essential communication skills.
Encouraging singles, Pastor Wladimir explained how the relationship with his wife started with a conversation. He found a chance to talk to her which initiated the process of learning about each other. They discovered what each other wanted in a relationship and whether they had the same vision for their lives. He said: "Start a conversation with someone. Use your faith, speak and share your thoughts with others. Take the lead in your love life, get to know someone, explore possibilities, see if they meet your needs and continue to invest in your future."
Participants in the Love Walk were given life-skills on how to communicate safely and effectively about sensitive yet important issues. Knowing how to approach difficult subjects without fear of confrontation or conflict, offers a safe space where couples can communicate with trust, honesty and mutual respect as important foundations. When both parties want to find a mutually beneficial solution to difficulties or differences, they approach the issue as a business challenge and work together to find a win-win strategy.
Marriage guidance counsellors acknowledge that most marriages fail because of a lack of communication and even the most compatible couples often find it difficult to talk about everything.
At the Love Walk, couples were given a series of questions which helped direct the conversation and raise sensitive or emotional issues.
Authors of Bulletproof Marriage: Your shield against divorce, Renato and Cristiane Cardoso, had the idea of the Love Walk when they were in South Africa and went for a walk through one of Johannesburg's parks. Although they had been married for 18 years, the experience of spending quality time together felt like they were dating again and strengthened their relationship.
Couples agreed that it was essential to set time aside to communicate, but that without making an effort to do so, days and weeks slip by without important issues being discussed. Small things, which could have been resolved, grow into big problems and it is difficult to resolve them without conflict. Others said that another essential ingredient besides talking, is listening. The Love Walk gave couples the time they needed to talk, be heard and listen. Through reflection, they identified areas where they could change to improve their relationship for the benefit of both parties.
One couple said that their newfound peace, contentment and happiness would have a positive influence on the atmosphere in their home. By presenting a united front, they would be better able to discipline their children and help them to feel secure, valued and loved.
The Universal Church devotes Thursday meetings to offering insights and guidance on relationships. These meetings, called the Therapy of Love, are held nationally and encourage introspection so that people can identify areas where they can change. By changing their attitude and behaviour, participants report that their partner changed in response, and their marriage improved.
Since April 2014, the international best-seller Bulletproof Marriage: Your shield against divorce has participated at The Wedding Expo in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town, creating awareness of the life-changing toolkit and offering confidential relationship counselling. The Bulletproof Marriage team will have stands at The Wedding Expo at Hyde Park Corner on 30 and 31 March 2019 and at Carnival City on 8 and 9 June 2019.
For further information, please contact Nametso Mofokeng at the church's public relations department on 011 224 3400 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

First-time Badwater 135 champions outlast Death Valley heat
Michele 'Mickey' Graglia ran an ultra in sub-40-degree weather less six months ago in the Yukon.
Yesterday, he experienced the fire of Death Valley and thrived to capture the overall title of the world's toughest foot race.
The 34-year-old coach/athlete from Los Angeles was chased the final 50 miles by three runners -- Texan Jared Fetteroff, Colorado race director Don Reichelt, and, 2011 champion Oswaldo López of Madera. They finished in that order.
Graglia, who was born in Italy and gave a television interview in that language just past midnight Tuesday, clocked 24 hours, 51 minutes, 47 seconds.
"I pretty much nailed it," said Graglia, who ran the 2016 Badwater edition in 34 hours, 10 seconds.
Fetteroff was about a dozen minutes behind; Reichelt about 75 minutes back; and López a little more than 2 hours behind.
"Oh my God! I just want to hug everyone right now," said Graglia at Mt. Whitney portal, the end of a 135-mile race that began the night before at Badwater Basin.
"Oh, I want to throw up!" added Graglia, whose goal was to finish in the 24- 25-hour range.
Graglia outlasted a field that included three recent champions (López, Pete Kostelnick and Harvey Lewis). However, Kostelnick dropped out after 78 miles due to severe cramping.
Lewis, who recently ran the 2,100 miles of the Appalachian Trail and finished last Thursday, moved to the 9:30 p.m. starting wave and ran on tired legs.
Grant Maughan, who won a 310-mile race in Tennessee last week, failed to challenge on tired legs.
The race, which started with 98 runners, saw 30 runners drop out of the race.
Guajardo's feet up to the feat
Austin, Texas administrator Brenda Guajardo showed why she is one of the country's best ultra runners.
The 41-year-old Guajardo placed fifth overall in 28:23:10 despite developing severe toe problems that saw her lose a toenail.
Guajardo built a 5-mile lead heading into Lone Pine, the 122-mile mark of the race, and cruised the rest of the way.
Pam Smith, pathologist from Oregon, closed strong to finish sixth overall in 28:47:53. Smith is the 2013 women's winner at the Western States 100.

Thunder Road Hosting Accessible Racing Program This Wednesday/
This Wednesday, July 18, the "HardLuck Tour" is coming to Thunder Road. The track has agreed to host the Accessible Racing training program that gives disabled U.S. military veterans the chance to experience high-performance auto racing.
The program was co-founded by Brian Hanaford, the son of Thunder Road legend Harold "Hard Luck" Hanaford, and is part of Adaptive Motorsports & Wellness. It uses auto racing to honor those who have served while helping them overcome physical and mental boundaries. Participants begin their training on a virtual driving simulator modified with hand controls. Select veterans eventually get to pilot a modified AM&W race car on actual tracks.
Wednesday's event is the second round in the HardLuck Tour Northeast Qualifier series. An introductory "chalk talk" will be followed by a ride-along program before veterans progress to an oval track driving experience. Instructors for Wednesday's program include Northeast racing legend Dave Dion along with Joey Laquerre, the winningest driver in the history of Thunder Road.
Participating veterans include Luis Rosa-Valentin of Annapolis, Maryland, a triple-limb amputee; Cody Evans of Speedwell, TN, a double above-the-limb amputee; Tony Wood of Exeter, NH, who had a near-death experience in combat; and Albert Bucharelli of Belmont, NH, a 93-year-old single-leg amputee and veteran of World War II.
"We're pleased to be able to give these veterans the opportunity for this experience," Thunder Road owners Cris Michaud and Pat Malone said in a joint statement. "They clearly gave a lot in service to their country, and it's a privilege to be a part of helping to give something back."
For more information, contact Brian Hanaford at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit the Adaptive Motorports & Wellness page on Facebook.

With an ambitious and varied program of 20th century French music, music director Yaniv Dinur closed the New Bedford Symphony Orchestra season Saturday evening in the Zeiterion Performing Arts Center.
Dinur made unusual demands on his orchestra, and on his soloist: Roberto Plano, making his third appearance with the NBSO, performed both of Ravel's piano concertos, in a unique programming gesture. Along with Guillaume Connesson's shifty "Night-Club," and Debussy's orchestra classic "La Mer," the concert offered a sweeping overview of French idioms from the past 100 years.
Ravel led the way. His two concertos, written about the same time in the early 1930s, present strikingly different portraits of the resourceful composer. His G major concerto wears its American influences proudly: jazzy accents, open seconds and fourths, all characterizing a sound that could easily be taken for Gershwin or Copland. From the first whip-crack percussion attack, listeners get transported to the "exotic" world of hot jazz, when American music stirred the European soul and influenced a whole host of artists in different genres.
Its three movements go from swinging to mellow, then back to swinging again. A cadenza in the first movement captures it all: Plano toyed with a lyric line in his left hand, while the right hand trilled for an impossibly long time. The curious middle movement—a lyric line, slow and thoughtful, taking its time to formulate itself until it finally settling on a comfortable rhythm—was beautifully drawn out.
The orchestra worked its way around Plano's lead. A central section of that slow movement, introduced by the soloist with a shifting, bumpy idea, and then interrupted by a deeply satisfying flute/oboe/clarinet line, felt warm and comfortable, nicely organized by the conductor.
Ravel's D major concerto is an entirely different animal. It was composed with unusual instructions: the eminent pianist Paul Wittgenstein had tragically lost his right arm during World War I, and commissioned a set of composers to write him works for one hand.
Ravel's concerto is the only one of those to be performed with regularity, and has become well known—even more well received than his two-handed G major—for its dark character and inventive approach.
Its compositional genesis is not the only unusual characteristic. It begins in the double basses, with an enigmatic four-note gesture that sounds like they might be still tuning up. Then the soloist launches into a cadenza—normally out-of-place at the beginning of a movement. The orchestra responds, with its own separate line.
Finally, a scherzo-like section brings about some interplay. The dark character persists, but the concerto progresses in a purposeful, determined manner.
Plano played terrifically. Leaning his right hand on top of the piano, he navigated the many tricky passages—Ravel frequently creates a double notion for his single hand, having the pianist bounce up then down the keyboard, layering multiple ideas. Tempos are also layered, so that the orchestra plays in one rhythm and the soloist another. A striking contrabassoon solo (Daniela Beilman)—another unusual gesture— stood out for its clarity.
Dinur impressively worked Debussy's "La Mer" without a score. Given his familiarity and confidence with the piece, one hoped for greater demands on the orchestra. The swirling atmospheres in "La Mer" call for soft softs and loud louds, and more variety in attacking phrases.
Still, the orchestra played alertly. On the whole, it was a smartly conceived program, satisfying and adventurous.
It was observed with pleasure, and some sadness, that both the Ravel G major concerto and Debussy's "La Mer" were premiered by the Orchestre Lamoureux, in Paris.
The entire 2017-18 NBSO season was dedicated to the late Lillian Lamoureux, longtime president of the orchestra, who passed away in August. Lamoureux singlehandedly kept the NBSO alive during the years that the orchestra transitioned from an predominantly amateur ensemble into the fine professional group that they are today.
"La musique l'exprime," in Lillian Lamoureux's memory.
This was NBSO's season finale. The NBSO's summer fundraiser, Symphony Seaside Swing, takes place June 2 at the Kittansett Club in Marion. For tickets and information visit www.nbsymphony.org or call 508-999-6276.

Well, you got the picture. Just to illustrate how it works.
I'm not a copywriter, so there are much better examples available. Here's a great selection:
Note: If you're really interested in copy writing and headlines, you also sign up for the newsletters or feeds at the resources below.
- How to Write Magnetic Headlines. Brian Clark shows he's a master at this.

One final remark about titles: when somebody is surfing an article directory, they're coming across your article title alongside lots of others.
It's rather like the Yellow Pages, one of the most competitive places to advertise. Why? Because your prospects see your advertisements right beside your rivals'.
You absolutely NEED to surpass the clutter. Your title should be about your prospect's wants, needs and desires. It had better be about the individual reading the article, not the article itself.
This gets even more vital when a newsletter publisher searching for content is surfing an article directory. After all, which do you believe will fetch you more exposure: a reader surfing articles or a publisher with a subscriber list of 100,000 who releases your article?
Here's an example how to attract special attention: Why 'New' and 'Knew' Create Intensely Powerful Headlines. I used this for the title of this post.
Try this yourself, it's a great example of 'thinking outside the box'.
Ok, on with our article.
Your first paragraph has the function to keep your visitors reading. Your opening paragraph draws them into the main body of your article, so you make it intriguing and some kind of an extension of your title.
A few effective ways to keep that attention going are to:
– Ask a question
– Paint an emotional picture
– Present an overview
– Set the stage with a story, anecdote, or quote
– Present a problem
– Reveal an interesting or startling fact
Apply tested formulas. As in a sales letter, tested formulas boost readership and reaction to articles too.
- Before and After – I was poor, now I'm rich. I was a hack, now I'm a scratch golfer. I was fat, now I'm thin.
- Frequently asked questions – Include some great ones, but leave some out to be placed on your website. Be sure to let them know in your resource box at the end of the article that there are more at your site.
- Problem-Agitate-Solution – You present a problem, then agitate it further. Finally the solution is hinted at towards the end of the article (with an incentive for them to go to your website to get the full picture).
- Useful, but Incomplete – Give just enough information to entice them, but leave them wanting more (which your website will provide).
Establish yourself as the authority, but don't be patronising. You want to come across as an expert on the theme, without being a "know-it-all" or self-important. Don't forget these are real people reading your article and they can smell from a distance if you're arrogant or superior.
NEVER ever underestimate the intelligence of your readers.
If you appall them, you've lost them. Of course the same applies to tasteless or offensive remarks. When in doubt, leave them out.
Ok, let's stop here and save the article resource box for the next message.
Meanwhile, post your comments here.
Did I forget some things that are important to you?
Let me know what you're thinking.

Suspensions and expulsions are strong predictors of drug use
(Va.) School suspensions and expulsions have long been linked to an increased likelihood that students will come into contact with the juvenile justice system, but a new study suggests exclusionary discipline can also lead to drug use well into adulthood.
Following years of adherence to zero tolerance policies, there's been a significant push to disassemble what has been termed the "school-to-prison pipeline," in which students are pushed out of school due to strict, punitive measures for bad behavior, and enter the juvenile justice system.
"Our findings add to growing concerns about school disciplinary practices that exclude youth," Beidi Dong, assistant professor in the Department of Criminology, Law, and Society at George Mason University and lead author of the study, said in a statement. "Amid alarm about the school-to-prison pipeline, the conclusion that school exclusion is even more problematic for students' well-being than police arrest highlights the need to find alternative methods to discipline students so exclusion is used only as a last resort."
Indeed, national data shows a disparity in how punitive measures have been used—especially for at-risk subgroups. Black students in K-12 schools are almost 4 times as likely to be suspended, and twice as likely to be expelled, as white students. Similarly, students with disabilities are more than twice as likely to receive out-of-school suspensions as students without disabilities.
A recent report from the U.S. Department of Education even showed almost 7,000 pre-schoolers were suspended during the 2013-14 school year.
In states including Virginia, Maryland, Tennessee, Louisiana and Oregon, legislation has been adopted to address such issues–whether by restricting suspension and expulsion by grade level and type of infraction, or limiting the length of exclusion.
Meanwhile, district- or state-wide bans on out-of-school suspensions for young children have been adopted in California, New York, Minnesota, Texas and Illinois.
Many policymakers have also adopted restorative justice practices that allow students to address the root issues of their behavior and take responsibility for their actions while remaining in school.
Researchers at George Mason University used data from the longitudinal Rochester Youth Developmental Study that began in 1988 with 1,000 seventh- and eighth-grade students in Rochester, New York and tracked them to age 31.
Examining both the immediate influence of school and police interventions on drug use during adolescence, as well as the long-term, cumulative effect of these interventions on subsequent drug use later in life, researchers found that school exclusionary practices appeared to strongly predict one's likelihood of drug use.
In fact, being suspended or expelled from school was found to be a stronger predictor of drug use than juvenile arrests.
The study showed negative effects were especially pronounced among minority youth, and that exclusionary punitive measures were a stronger predictor of short-term drug use among girls, and of long-term drug use among boys.
Co-author of the study, Marvin Krohn, noted that the act of removing adolescents from school provides unstructured and unsupervised time that can facilitate drug use, whereas once they have been arrested, youth are under constant supervision.
"This should be kept in mind as educators and others consider other ways to discipline students," said Khron, professor in the Department of Sociology and Criminology and Law at the University of Florida.
Florida's largest school district–the Miami-Dade County school system–has been working to provide that supervision for students who have been suspended.
Instead of kicking kids out of school, the district set up Success Centers about three years ago where certified teachers would make sure students kept up on their schoolwork and counselors could help children and families figure out the root causes of behavior problems and provide referrals to community services.
There have been issues regarding transportation and students' school work not showing up at the centers, but officials told reporters for the Miami Herald that they were working to fix those problems.

Many aspects of the cybersecurity challenge--and especially those that rise to the level of major public-policy disputes--beg for an approach that integrates perspectives not just from computer science and engineering but also from law, public affairs, and business administration. Does that sound right to you? If so, we are hiring a fellow for the coming academic year (2016-17).
We would like to hear from people who find the interdisciplinary perspective appealing and who would enjoy pouring their creative energies into helping craft and teach innovative courses designed from the ground up to serve a mixed audience of grad students from all of the aforementioned disciplines. Of course, we'd also like our cybersecurity fellow to write about and participate in current policy debates in this area. Beyond this, we do not want to be too specific, for we very much want to encourage applicants to be creative and bold in explaining what they might like to accomplish during a fellowship year in Austin.
At any rate, the list below highlights some key expectations we have in mind for this position, but we are interested, above all, in energetic people (at any level of seniority; pay will be commensurate with experience) who are capable of crossing at least some of the disciplinary boundaries that normally separate computer science, law, business, public affairs, and security studies, and who are eager to take advantage of the UT and Austin environments both to craft and teach bespoke courses of this kind and to pursue policy-relevant research in the same spirit.
Note: The University of Texas at Austin is committed to an educational and working environment that provides equal opportunity to all members of the university community. In accordance with federal and state law, the university prohibits unlawful discrimination, including harassment, on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, including sexual harassment, age, disability, citizenship and veteran status. Discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression is also prohibited pursuant to university policy.

When we were all kids, there was one particular trailer that I think we can all remember. That was the trailer for 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind.' There was an amazing teaser trailer with all this weird kind of documentary footage. We were like, 'What was that! I've got to see that! What the hell was that?'

I'm Chris from the Music to Burn A Million Miles playlist - and I'll be your guest curator for August. For myself - and regulars tuning into the playlist - it can be a place to seek shelter, to deal with the emotions that come with loss , and last but not least music to heal. I really hope you will enjoy the stories and music over the next few weeks. So when Andrew asked If I was interested in taking the reins, this track came to mind immediately.
All the way from Australia this weeks track "Maggie" comes in from Colin Hay - front man from the iconic "Men at Work". The stripped back acoustic basics and strong vocals will give a real sense of honesty - regardless of the story being fictionally based - according to Colin.
My heart just aches for the soul who longs to have Maggie by his side. Throughout the years, Maggie casually returns again and again to her safe, life long friend, without judgement, and knowing full well, how deep his love ran for her. The grief spectrum has no prejudice and all of us carry our own individual experience with loss. I can't help but feel for our character in the track, who seems to live out his life in purgatory. The love of his life, eternally out of reach.
I could keep rambling - but you'll just have tune in for your self . If it's anything to go by, Colin himself was brought to tear's as he put pen to paper with the track. Hope you enjoy!

Carl Mackey - saxophones
Mat Jodrell - trumpet
Sam Anning - bass
Mark Fitzgibbon - piano
Sam Bates - drums
His name is synonymous with power and grace on the tenor saxophone, his playing characterised by impassioned ballad performances and ferocious displays of technical ability. Widely regarded as one of the jazz greats, he will be forever revered for his distinctive sound and powers of invention.
It has been 15 years since Joseph 'Joe' Henderson died and his music remains as relevant as it ever did. He managed to achieve what many strive for but few attain, a voice that transcended genres and eras. Joe's playing was and will forever remain eternally cool.
Tonight this quintet of some of Australia's finest comes together to celebrate Henderson's music.
The repertoire, will be hard hitting and beautiful.

Insurance is tricky. Between knowing which policies your business needs, how much coverage each policy should have, and all the fine print in between, deciding who to purchase coverage from can be the decision that throws you over the edge.
You have two main options, each with their own benefits. But when trying to decide if you should work with an insurance company or an independent insurance agency, which is best?
While the right answer depends on your individual insurance needs, we put together a list of signs that will tell you it would be a mistake to work with an independent insurance agency.
What is an independent insurance agency?
First, let's address the obvious question. What is an independent insurance agency? Essentially, independent insurance agents are insurance middlemen.
When you work with an insurance company, the only products they offer are their own.
But when you work with an independent insurance agency, they're able to provide products from multiple insurance companies.
If we had to provide the main differentiating factor between the two, it would be variety. With a company, you're incredibly limited in your choices. But should you work with the right independent insurance agency, your options for insurance can be nearly limitless, guaranteeing the perfect insurance match.

What we might need is a Virtually Connecting (Buddy) Friend! Buddy is a particular role in Virtually Connecting to denote those onsite and remove that 'buddy' together to open the conversation to others. In this context, it is where we can ask questions and get a friendly, personalised answer! In real terms, the backend of this 'Buddy' would be a members database. Throughout the process with our Mozilla mentor, we will be able to finesse this vision and work out details.

Maybe we don't know what our totem pole (inspired by my son's drawing) will look like but we have a clear understanding of what questions currently exist and that we want to encourage our brand of radical hospitality. My son/advisor (aged 7) said that this totem is made up of person, Al and monkey. If I changed that to AI (artificial intelligence), this is pretty close to our vision! The people are the base of our community, we might need some technology on top of that with a clever, approachable, monkey (with headphones) to assist. Maybe the antenna at the top is our communication signaller.
The answers are there somewhere! At the moment you might have to collect your own data or peruse Youtube recordings or read various sections on the website or ask someone on the Slack channel or be briefed by another buddy. We will continue to #WOLO (think wallow) in this inquiry.

First boundaries get marked; then the plot is cleaned; then the site is prepared per the layout in the drawings. Months pass, dirt is moved, utilities are laid, pipes put in place, and then finally things start to go vertical.
Studio PBA has been working with long time client Wood Partners to prepare the site of the Alta Green Mountain project in Lakewood, Colorado for several months. Engineers and contractors have their work cut out for them as they battle Colorado's summer storms (this site has seen what some have called a 200-year flood) and intense heat as the groundwork is laid for the planned multi family residential project.
Now retaining walls are going up, pipes are going in, and the site is being primed so that construction workers can begin laying a foundation for this much-needed residential project.
Alta Green Mountain is located in Lakewood, Colorado, a suburb to the west of Denver and just moments away from the Rocky Mountain foothills. True to its name, Alta Green Mountain is not only situated just blocks away from William F. Hayden Green Mountain Park, and when finished, will support fantastic sweeping views of the rolling green foothills to the West and downtown Denver to the East.
The 260-unit multi-family apartment project is spread out over 10 residential buildings. The unit mix includes studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom units ranging in size from 706 SF to 1,341 SF. Residents will enjoy one parking space per bedroom, in addition to 131 designated bicycle spaces. Parking options include a large number of tuck-under garage spaces, in addition to tandem driveway parking, and surface parking. The site features multiple resident amenities, including a pool, luxury clubhouse with co-working space and a full fitness center, indoor dog wash facilities and a resident dog park, bike workshop, and several grilling areas.
The site may not look like much just yet. Wood Partners has been dedicated to documenting construction of their projects with drone footage which will allow us to see exactly how assemblies progress. Not only is it visually interesting, but it can potentially help eliminate the need for as many drastic or late in the game change orders. We are looking forward to sharing the images going forward as this project progresses towards its Spring 2020 completion!

BRAINS BEHIND THE CHAIR: Ashley Kerkes, owner of Ashley Kerkes Hair Studio
We had an amazing time chatting with Sola-based artist Ashley Kerkes and getting to know this vintage-loving hair stylist! This matte lipstick-wearing #GlossBoss tells us about her art and how SolaGenius helped her earn $4000 in bookings after a text campaign. Keep reading to learn how and check out the pics of her gorgeous studio at Sola Salon Studios!
Stylist: Ashley Kerkes
Handle: @ashleykerkeshair
SolaGenius Booking Site: ashleykerkeshairstudio.glossgenius.com
Bonafides: K Bella Hair Studio and Salon (Michigan)
Specialty: Color: balayage, color melt, foliage; basically any sort of lived-in color.
Secret Weapon: Kadus' colors and products. I know it sounds cheesy since I'm on the designing team for Kadus, but I like their colors and products because I really get to take my time with my client and make their hair the way I want to be.
Beauty Obsession: I'm absolutely obsessed with matte all-day lipstick! I'm a lipstick tattoo junkie -- I like when a lipstick that lasts me all day.
Inspiration: I gather a lot of inspo from stuff my clients bring in...Instagram videos allow me to see other peoples' techniques. I like to see what other people are doing and then take their techniques and making them my own. Two in particular are @beseene and @lisalovesfoliage (she does classes and everything)!
Challenges with color melts: Getting a good blend and not seeing the lines. A lot of it is really just taking a step back and formulating what you need to do in order to get the color right, instead of simply picturing what you want your end result to be and trying to get there. It's color theory, not color facts.
Most fun color combo: I just did one for behindthechair on Facebook live! It was a blonde with pink roots and pieces of yellow throughout. It was a super fun color because it's very summery. A lot of blondes don't want to see yellow in their hair, so doing that was amazing because it took something ordinary and made it extraordinary! I love doing color that adds a really dramatic root on a blonde.
Why I am a #GlossBoss: I'm a #GlossBoss because SolaGenius takes me from being just a hairstylist to also being a business person. It takes me from just being behind the chair to really growing my business and growing my brand.
SolaGenius's impact on her brand: I had this set up beginning of May and then switched to active on June. I'd only been using it for 15 days when I got the notification that I received $4000 in bookings after sending out a text campaign! SolaGenius is super easy to use -- I'm a good stylist, but I'm very bad at being a receptionist/salesperson. It allows me to keep track of my clients and my inventory. I love that I can take a picture of a credit card and put it on file. My most favorite part of SolaGenius is how it asks my clients if they want to book a future appointment -- 10 people have already set up recurring appointments! It helps me be a better business person all together. Before SolaGenius, I knew I needed to be doing business things, but now I'm actually doing it.
Off-duty: I hang out with my kids who are are 12, 8 and 1.5. My 1.5-year-old is the sweetest little pie ever, but she is also very stubborn. I also love shopping for anything that has to do with vintage hair stuff, for example, I have 3 vintage hair dryers. I use some of the stuff I find to decorate my studio!
Where the magic happens:
Thanks so much for chatting with us, Ashley! Congratulations on the success you had with your GlossUp campaign and thanks for being a #GlossBoss!

Wives who are happy blossom. They look more beautiful every day. They apply themselves to everything they do and try to do it right. They make their houses into welcoming homes.
Most men know what makes their wives happy and what makes them truly unhappy.
Men who truly love their wives strive to do everything they can to not do anything that makes their wives unhappy. Of course we are all human and do make mistakes, but the important thing is not to keep on making the same mistakes. If something that you did made your wife unhappy and made her cry, don´t do it again!
Once a relationship has truly failed there is no way back. Once the love dies it is the end.
Take a little bit of time everyday to get to know your wife all over again. Bring romance into your relationship and lavish your wife with your love. Encourage her, praise her for her beauty and what she does right, motivate her to keep growing as a person and allow her the freedom to be herself.
From one happy husband to many!
