Jonny Greenwood
Best known as the lead guitarist of the hugely successful and influential band Radiohead, Jonny Greenwood (b.1973) is also an award-winning composer for both the concert hall and for film.
His compositions include 'Popcorn Superhet Receiver' (commissioned by the BBC whilst Greenwood was Composer-in-Residence to the BBC Concert Orchestra), 'smear' (premiered by the London Sinfonietta), '48 Responses to Polymorphia' (premiered in Poland as part of a joint concert with his idol, Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki) and 'Water' (commissioned and recorded by the Australian Chamber Orchestra).
'Popcorn Superhet Receiver' won the BBC Radio 3 Listeners' Award at the 2006 British Composer Awards, and sections of the score were later worked into Greenwood's soundtrack for the Oscar-winning Paul Thomas Anderson film There Will Be Blood (2007). Greenwood's score went on to scoop the Best Film Score award at the 2007 Evening Standard British Film Awards, and Critics' Choice Award for Best Composer by the Broadcast Film Critics Association of the USA.
In 2018 Greenwood was nominated for an Oscar for his score to Anderson's feature film, Phantom Thread, starring Daniel Day-Lewis in his final screen role.

Thyme is a fragrant herb with lots of medicinal properties. Thyme is antiseptic, antiviral, antibacterial, carminative, diaphoretic, and an expectorant and supports healing throughout the entire body by helping cleanse the organs. Use thyme to boost your immunity especially during flu and cold season.
For thousands of years, thyme has been a star of the herb garden because it has a long history of being used to heal and protect.
If possible use fresh organic thyme over dried thyme. Better yet, plant it in your garden and harvest fresh at midday for the most powerful benefit. Include thyme in your daily diet. Add it to your salads, soups, smoothies, guacamole, vegetables or just take a moment and drink a cup of this powerful and very healing tea.
A handful of organic fresh thyme sprigs
2 cups spring or filtered water
1 inch organic fresh ginger, sliced thin
Option: organic lemon
Add the ginger and thyme sprigs to the water and soak overnight. Sip throughout the day.
Add fresh lemon, if desired.

The anti-diva guide to startups
(page 1 of 2)
Approaching a startup with a diva attitude is a great way to fail before you even begin. To launch a successful startup you need to be willing to work harder, longer, and for less (usually nothing at the beginning) than any other person out there to make your idea become a reality.
Essentially, you need to be the anti-diva. All attention and energy should be focused on your startup, not you. If that sounds contrary to your ideal life scenario, you may want to take a pass on entrepreneurship, sister.
However, if you have a burning desire to transform your idea into an amazing business, here are a few anti-diva rules that will help pave the way to your startup's success:
Share the limelight: The quickest way to kill startup team mentality and creativity is to take all the credit for good ideas and company successes. Celebrate big successes by giving kudos to the appropriate people and rewarding your whole team with a happy hour or sporting event. Celebrate the little successes with thank-you notes and a token gift like flowers or a Starbucks gift card. Small amounts of personal appreciation from you will pay huge productivity dividends from your team.
Never let your mood dictate your manners: It truly doesn't matter who you are, if you are rude people will not want to work with you or for you. Those stuck under your employ will be less inclined to "give it their all," which is exactly what you need for your company to be successful. An anti-diva can take a horrible mood/day and use her angst to power through projects instead of venting on innocent coworkers.

Sonesta Great Bay in St. Maarten.
We stayed at the Great Bay for two weeks during the month of June. We flew with Sunwing and had a very comfortable flight. Before the landing we were able to observe the beautiful landscape of St-Maarten. It was spectacular. At the airport we were quickly transferred to our Hotel. We were overwhelmed when we saw the view on the Bay where the Cruise Ships were docked and surrounded by a lovely turquoise water.
When we entered the lobby, we observed that it was very nicely decorated and freshly renovated. Checking in was previously done and we were immediately escorted to our Grande Deluxe Room ocean view number 723 located on the 7th floor. It was a large room. Our mini fridge was replenished everyday and if requested you had a turn down service at night. Wi-Fi in our suite worked well, A/C was keeping us cool, and the view from our room was just unbelievable, The many different blue colors of the ocean, the giant cruise ships docked for a day in front of the mountain. There was so much beauty around us. We were more than happy with our suite.
The food was very good. The main buffet had a excellent choice of fresh and cooked dishes. There was no reservation for the
A La Carte restaurants . Our favorite was the Pescatore where they had both Italian nights and Seafood nights. Everything was simply delicious with a good variety of meat, fish and pasta dishes that were complimented with an excellent Cabernet Sauvignon. The service was always efficient and friendly.
The Great Bay has 3 pools . They were very clean and the water was warm. It was not needed to get up early to reserve a place. All day long at the beach or pools there were chairs and shades available. There was a large jacuzzi and it was kept hot and was so relaxing. The sea was warm, turquoise and inviting. The view on the Bay was paradisiac.
One morning, we visited the Philipsburg shopping area. It was only a 15 minutes pleasant walk from the Hotel. There were so many shops to visit and places to see. The stores had a very friendly setting and you were welcome to explore the goods. We also visited the Sonesta Maho Beach and had a good view of the planes taking off at the nearby airport. It was very impressing especially the big KLM. There were lots of families with kids at the Maho Resort. For couple the Great Bay was a better choice.
The staff was very helpful in all the locations of the resort.We would also recommend the Great Bay to all the vacationers. Thanks to all the staff for the great time we had.

Booked through Sunwing Vacations for a one week all-inclusive stay at the Sonesta Great Bay Resort and Casino in St. Maarten.
The flight down was somewhat of a nightmare. We took off from Toronto around 6:30 a.m. and were supposed to be in St. Maarten at 11:40 a.m. their time. Unfortunately there was a bad storm over St. Maarten and we were unable to land, and had to fly to Punta Cana to refuel. There we spent over 3 hours on the plane and another 2 plus hours in the airport. Finally they loaded us back up on the plane and we got to St. Maarten at 8:15 p.m., so a very long day.
Room Number:
Once we arrived in St. Maarten everything went quickly, and were were checked into our room by 9 p.m. We had booked an oceanview room, which I would recommend – 5th floor or higher. We had a great view of the beach/pool area, and the cruise ships and could see all the way to Philipsburg.
This is a smaller hotel, just over 200 rooms. The lobby is actually on the 3rd floor, so our 5th floor room was just 2 flights of stairs up. There is a small elevator, but it only holds 4 people and is quite slow, so easiest to take the stairs.
The rooms in the hotel are a little dated (bathroom and furnishings), but very clean and comfortable, with everything we needed. We had a fridge in the room stocked with beer, water, and pop, and 3 bottles of liquor (I think this is exclusive for Sunwing/Signature guests). There was also a flat-screen TV, inroom safe, ironing board and iron, coffeemaker, hairdryer and clock/radio. There is wifi available for $18.99 US a day or $55.00 US for the week. We purchased it for the week, but reception in our room was quite spotty, usually had to go out on the balcony and even there the connection was sporadic and we'd end up going down to the lobby.
Restaurants and Bars:
There is a buffet restaurant and two a la carte restaurants for dinner. When we were there, there was only 1 a la carte open at a time. I would guess when they're full they have them both open. You make your reservation in the morning at the buffet restaurant.
Monday nights is the beach barbecue. They moved it inside because of cloudy weather, but it was pretty good, lots of selection. The buffet breakfast was good, you could get omelettes and eggs cooked to order, and they had lots of fresh fruit. Lunches were good too, you had a choice of buffet or you could order a sandwich or a pizza from a menu. They also had hamburgs and hotdogs available. Dinners weren't my favourite there, they had a different theme each night, but not a huge variety and somewhat repetitive.
We went to each a la carte once. The Italian was a little disappointing, the restaurant is actually in a banquet room, felt like we were at a wedding reception. No atmosphere. The tiramisu for desert was excellent though.
The Molasses Restaurant had a variety of menu items. We had the Caesar salad and steak and it was excellent.
Both restaurants had a guitar player, who was very good.
There are several bars – one in the lobby, one in a room behind the lobby, one downstairs by the buffet restaurant, and one at the beach.
Pools and Beach
There are two pools and a whirlpool (hot). One is an activities pool and one is an infinity pool.
The beach itself is lovely. The sand is actually shells, but soft, the consistency of oatmeal. The water drops off quite quickly and is a little rocky getting in, so if you have beach shoes take them. Water clarity wasn't the greatest because of the sand, no snorkeling here.
Activities on and off the Resort/Hotel:
Kind of low-key, they have aerobics, bingo, a few other things during the day. Karaoke one night, music in the Living Room bar in the evenings.
There is a small casino off the lobby. We went in a couple of times, but quickly lost our money
The best thing about this hotel is its location. It's just a 10 minute walk into Philipsburg, either by road or along the beach. Here you will find dozens and dozens of stores, from high end jewellery and clothing stores to souvenir shops. The cruise ships dock here and it is bustling with tourists. We went into town a couple of times and always felt perfectly safe. Lots of bargains to be had in quality jewellery. Generally I thought prices on everything were quite reasonable. There is no tax so the price on the sticker is what you pay, and you can negotiate on some items. US currency is accepted everywhere on the island. There are also numerous restaurants in town if you get tired of the hotel restaurants.
Getting around the island
Taxis are not metered here. There is a set fare to each location. You can also take a local bus for a couple of dollars and go pretty much anywhere on the island. Car rentals are available, but there is a lot of road construction going on, it's very hilly, and it's hard to find a place to park, so we decided against that. We saw Marigot on the French side of the island where they have a market (same stuff you see in Philipsburg), and also went to the other Sonesta hotel at Maho, where guests have exchange privileges. This hotel has a much more impressive lobby and beautiful landscaped gardens around the pools, and at first we thought gee we should have stayed here. But the beach isn't as big or as nice, and the food (at the buffet anyway) was the same as the other hotel. Also louder music. I preferred the softer music played at our hotel. The water there is clearer, though, and we could see fish swimming around the rocks from shore, so better for snorkeling. Also had a chance to look at the rooms and they are pretty much identical, maybe a couple of feet wider and longer, and looked a little fresher because they had been redone more recently.
Other Comments:
Weather wasn't too bad. Of course the day we arrived they had a bad storm, and the next day was overcast but the sun shone through a bit. The rest of the week was good until Saturday, when it was overcast and rained a bit during the day off and on.
Service was good for the most part, a couple of dinners where staff seemed overwhelmed and items weren't refilled as quickly as they should have been. We liked this hotel, though, I think because it was smaller, and because of its location. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Royal Islander Great Bay (at Sonesta Great Bay Resort & Casino)
Arrival: Feb 3 - 10
Check in was smooth, easy and painless. We found the staff at the hotel's front desk to be very friendly.
We stayed in a one-bedroom "apartment" which we booked through RCI using our points. Our 2 young daughters slept in a very comfortable murphy bed located in the living area. The unit included a kitchen that came fully equipped -- except for an oven.
Restaurants and Bars:
As we stayed in an apartment, we cooked most of our meals ourselves or went outside the hotel. There are 3 bars in the hotel - in the lobby, on the pool deck and a swim up at the end of the infinity pool. They make a great Guavaberry Colada...an island specialty.
There were 3 pools at the hotel -- 2 located on the main deck (including the infinity pool) and one located close to the apartments. The beach is made from crushed shells, so it is not as nice as a sand beach.
Activities on and off the Resort/Hotel:
The hotel is located a short 10 minute walk from downtown Philipsburg...where you'll find great duty-free shopping.

I grow tomatoes in Cheshire, some in the greenhouse and some outside on the patio. They usually go into pots the size of buckets, which means they can be moved around, often necessary to ensure they stay watered when I am not around.
No matter how vigilant I am hunting for sideshoots on my tomatoes, there's always one I miss. They even re-grow sneakily where I think I have already pinched them out. If I go away for a few days, there can be shoots several centimetres long, they grow at such a rate. But all is not lost. Instead of putting them all in the compost, I stick a few of the shoots into a glass of water and in about a week there are lovely little white roots, all ready for growing on. Free plants! They are particularly useful when the original plants are getting rather tired, as by then they are big enough to start fruiting. Last year I was able to extend the season for Sungella very successfully with a second generation and the cherry tomatoes Red Cherry grown from the shoots were still bearing heavily outside right until the frosts, though the taste was rather sharp and the skins tough. They were still useful cooked and pureed. Perhaps they were so small that they were still able to ripen despite the shorter days.
This year's plants, started on the windowsill in January, are coming along quite nicely, especially Legend and Marmande, but there is a long way to go to match the Hamburg crops.

I wanted to try stamping a fun little card for Christmas. This is pretty simple and while an adult may need to cut the sponge, this is a great stamping project for kids!
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Supplies
- Blank Greeting Card (and envelope)
- Melamine Foam Sponge (I got mine at Daiso, it's a dense sponge, The Magic Eraser is made of it)
- Green Ink Pad
- Red Ink Pad
- Yellow Ink Pad
- Pencil
- Optional: Brown and Black Marker
- Exacto Knife or Scissors to cut the sponge
Step 2: Tree
This is pretty basic. Take your sponge, get ink on it and stamp it on the card. When you push your sponge into the ink pad, try to cover all of the edge, the same for when you stamp it on the card. If you just push from the middle, you are only going to get the center of the triangle.
Overlap the bottom of one triangle with the top of another. Stamp as many times as you want it tall. I just went with four.
Step 3: Decorate the Tree
Time to decorate your tree! I just did red ornaments, but you can do whatever colors you would like. Just stamp the eraser of your pencil in the ink and stamp it on your card. Make sure you clean the eraser before switching colors and when you are done. Don't want to get ink all over.
I added a yellow dot to the top of the tree to represent the star. If you are talented, you can cut a start out of the foam.
Step 4: Extras
Add anything else to the card that you need! I drew in a simple stump for my tree, so it wasn't just hovering. Then I just drew some lines around the edge with points. These are my strings of lights! I just stamped yellow or red at each point along the edge.
For an extra little something, something, use a smaller triangle and put a Christmas tree on the flap of the envelope. Now you have a matching envelope and card set! Now just fill in the card with your own message :)

The question of how an insurance company decides on the value of your case is not an easy one to answer. An experienced Pasadena personal injury attorney will briefly address this issue in the paragraphs below.
Reserves and Policy Limits
A sum of money normally referred to as the reserves, which represents the ultimate worth at which an insurer may rate your claim, is first sequestered by a claims manager or supervisor. This represents the possible value that your case might possess and is subject to change. Depending upon the severity of the case, the reserves could be set as high as the policy limits. This sum represents the maximum amount that the insurer is willing to pay. It is specified in the terms of the defendant's policy.
Contributing Factors
As the groundwork that will form the foundation for your case progresses, a running account of earnings lost, expenses due to medical testing, treatment or other procedures, the degree to which your injury might impair you permanently and other contributing factors is assembled by the insurer. In addition, an evaluation of your case's supporting evidence, testimony from witnesses, and whether or not you were in any way partially responsible for your own injuries or have any record of prior injury will also be undertaken.
Prior Injuries
Your Pasadena personal injury lawyer will be kept informed concerning the types of data that the insurer is examining, and if applicable, the insurer will require any medical reports or other supporting information concerning any prior injury to the same body part that you may have sustained.
Stay Informed
If you are involved in a personal injury case, engaging the expertise and experience of your Pasadena personal injury attorney is a must. Call The Paul S. Norris Law Firm at 626-993-4415 today for information or assistance.

The Temptation of False Spiritualities/
My beloved spiritual children in Christ Our Only True God and Our Only True Savior,
O Master Christ God, Who by Thy Passion hast healed my passions, and by Thy wounds hast healed my wounds: do Thou grant tears of compunction unto me who have greatly offended; do Thou temper my body with the fragrance of Thy Life-Creating Body, and sweeten my soul with Thy Precious Blood, taking away the bitterness which the contending adversary hath made me to drink. Lift my mind up unto Thee, since it hath been drawn down below, and lead me up from the pit of destruction; for I have not repentance, I have not compunction, I have not a tear of supplication as children which shall lead me up unto mine own inheritance. I have been darkened in mind by the passions of life and I am not able to look up unto Thee in my travail; I cannot rouse myself to fervor with tears of love for Thee. But, O Master, Lord Jesus Christ, Thou Treasury of good things, grant complete repentance unto me, and a suffering heart that shall seek Thee out. Grant Thy grace unto me and renew in me the likeness of Thine image. I have abandoned Thee; do Thou not abandon me. Come, Thou forth and seek me out, lead me forth into Thy pasture, number me together with the sleep of Thine elect flock, and nourish me together with them on the verdure of Thy Divine Mysteries, by the intercessions of Thine-All-Pure Mother and of all Thy Saints. Amen.
By The Holy Synod of Bishops of the Orthodox Church in America
The Temptation of False Spiritualities
There is yet another temptation which confronts us today with great power. This is the temptation to yield to the many spiritualities and wisdoms, presented today from many diverse sources, which claim superiority to the narrow way of the Gospel. The new spiritualities, both of Christian and non-Christian variety, are especially alluring for those people who have not found spiritual satisfaction and security in the American way of life and in relativistic ecumenism. The main characteristic of the many sectarian spiritualities and pieties which have grown up in our day is their claim to a simple and secure way of instant salvation, devoid of ascetical effort and the bearing of the cross of suffering for the sake of others.
Powerful among Christians today is the temptation to a fundamentalistic, emotional type of Christian piety which equates deep spiritual fervor and commitment with the practice of certain enthusiastic devotional expressions and experiences. While there can be little doubt about the sincerity of the majority of those who practice and preach this type of Christian piety, especially within the so-called charismatic and neo-pentecostal movements, we must still warn of the dangers inherent in this type of spirituality, as did the Apostles in the early Church.
In the time of the Holy Apostles the fervor and excitement of the manifestation of Christ's Spirit to those newly-converted to the Faith led to an immature and childish attitude on the part of some which caused no little disturbance and division in the Christian community, particularly in the church of Corinth. Instead of leading to a way of life full of spiritual wisdom and love, the zeal for spiritual gifts in the Church led many to foolishness and vanity and the judgment of others. While never denying the true indwelling of the Holy Spirit in all of the faithful, and the true value and power of God's spiritual gifts, the Holy Apostles of Christ strictly warned the faithful against spiritual pride and denounced those who used the very gifts of God in ways which led to spiritual corruption and not to the edification of the Church.
According to the Holy Scriptures and the Saints, there can be a lust for God's gifts without true love for the Giver. There can be a pride in God's action without humility in its reception. There can be a lust for spiritual power and experience and the abuse of God's gifts for one's own individual benefit and satisfaction and not for the good of others. There can be spiritual conceit and delusion which take the holy things of God and pervert and degrade them through improper and self-serving use. The temptation here is real! It cannot be taken lightly. It is underscored so frequently and consistently in the Holy Bible and the writings of the Saints that it cannot be dismissed.
The spiritual gifts of preaching and teaching, prophesying and healing, praying in tongues and expelling demons, which are true gifts of God, can be misused and abused. They may be given by God and exercised by men not for their salvation, but for their condemnation and judgment. As gifts of God they are not ends in themselves. They must be properly used for spiritual growth and maturity to the fullness of the measure of the stature of Christ. They must be used for the glory of God and the salvation of man, and not for the glory of men, their personal pleasure and pride. When discussing this subtle and critical point, virtually all of the spiritual masters of the Christian Tradition made concrete reference to the words of our Lord Jesus Christ: "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord' shall enter the Kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven. On that day many will say to Me, 'Lord, did we not prophesy in Your Name, and cast out demons in Your Name and do mighty works in Your Name?' And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you evildoers'" (St. Matthew 7:21-23).
Let us flee from every temptation to spiritual immaturity and pride. Let us not be ensnared by the temptations to spiritual vanity and power. Let us not allow ourselves to be caught by the temptations of spiritual avarice and luxury. Let us not be the victims of the lust for spiritual pleasures. Let us not be what our Fathers in the faith have labeled "spiritual hedonists," which is not a less condemnable condition than being hedonists of the flesh. Let us not give our approval to any forms of Christian piety and devotion, however enthusiastic and fervent, and accompanied by whatever signs and wonders, that will take us away from the narrow path of Christ in the sane and sober denial of ourselves in the bearing of our crosses in all humility and meekness. Let us seek only to love the Lord our God with all our minds, hearts, and souls; and our neighbors--and even our enemies--as our very own selves in faithful obedience to our one Master and Lord.
It is our fervent desire that all our brothers and sisters who have come to know the grace of God within the various movements of our time will cultivate and deepen their spiritual power and wisdom within the life of the Church, putting away childish things and growing up to the fullness of Christ in the Spirit.
(To be continued)
The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God and Father, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
With sincere agape in His Holy Diakonia,
The sinner and unworthy servants of God
+Father George

Affordable Housing
For a low-income family, it's like living on the edge of a knife. You work as hard and as much as you can, yet every month, it's a painful, constant stretch to pay the rent or make the mortgage.
Even in Arizona where we have a slightly higher minimum wage, you need to work 70 hours a week to pay for a two-bedroom rental. That's almost two full-time jobs before you can even begin to think about buying food, clothes for the kids or a car.
Worse yet is the severe lack of affordable housing inventory. Fewer low-cost options mean even more people teetering on the edge of homelessness.
Did you know that more than half of all Americans spend 50% or more of their monthly income on housing? Experts say anything over 30% drastically increases the risk of homelessness.
Housing is Hope
UMOM is in the business of placing a home within reach. Wherever possible, we employ the 'Housing First' approach, moving people into housing as quickly as possible. Once in housing, we address the issues that led to homelessness. The housing first approach has a proven track record and is often among the best ways to end homelessness.
We use several types of housing and housing programs to aid families, youth and women.
"Our goal is to provide every family in need with an affordable place to live."
—Darlene Newsom, UMOM CEO
Permanent Affordable Housing
Housing is considered affordable when it takes up less than 30% of household income. It means a family or individual can pay rent or mortgage for the long term and still afford other basic needs like food, clothing, utilities and transportation.
Permanent affordable housing ends homelessness for families.
Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH)
For a variety of reasons, some people need more than two years of extended shelter. They may be chronically homeless or may experience disabilities like mental illness or chronic health conditions. PSH integrates affordable housing with supportive services and has been shown to be a cost-effective and successful solution.
Rapid Re-Housing
Rapid Re-Housing is an effective approach in use nationwide. At UMOM, we move quickly to place families or individuals into short-term, subsidized housing, then deploy a range of supportive services to overcome barriers to permanent housing.
This swift move to stability is particularly effective for children. Studies have shown that for each time a child moves, they can lose as much as six months of academic progress.
Subsidized Housing
Permanent housing is made affordable for families through rent that is partially paid for with private and/or public funds. UMOM provides privately subsidized housing for low income families, and partners with HUD and local government agencies to provide Section 8 housing vouchers to families.
UMOM Developments
Expected to begin construction in December 2017, this apartment development in north Phoenix will provide 54 families with new, safe, affordable housing.
Legacy Crossing
Near the UMOM New Day Centers main campus, Legacy Crossing in Phoenix has 80 permanent affordable housing units.
Parson's Village
In addition to 48 units of affordable and permanent supportive housing, Parson's Village also offers employment services, a computer lab, and life-skills classes.
This complex offers permanent affordable housing for seniors.


text: Amanda is amazing! It's hard for me to even know where to begin. I picked Amanda after doing a phone call with her as we live in New York. I then met her in person 4 months before and really just loved her personality and perspective. It was really wonderful because more than anything Amanda was a great support during the 2-3 months leading up to the wedding. I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted and when needing advice, Amanda provided me with just that! The day of was handled with such care. We had some unforeseen traffic, but even then Amanda's attention to detail was flawless. If I could have my wedding day over and over again like Groundhog's Day, I would want Amanda by my side over and over again.

Its lean production methods and continuous-improvement strategy have been mimicked in industries from mining to retail to health care. And then there's its highest-profile innovation these days: the early embrace of fuel efficiency. By betting on green, with the introduction of the Prius seven years ago, it lapped domestic automakers who put chits on cheap oil and big cars. This year will see a new Prius (many built at a plant in Mississippi) and two more hybrids; a new Lexus hybrid is reportedly in the wings. Toyota also has high hopes for its iQ ultracompact car (now available only in Japan and Europe), which seats four. But other design innovations may yet lead to the compact holy grail–a teensy car that can seat seven. Watch your back, Mini Cooper!

A female entertainer who was reported missing on Thursday following the discovery of the body of accountant Esron Laing, has been found unharmed.
The woman has been identified as Sherine Fox, an up-and-coming artiste who goes by the stage name Sexilous of Pembroke Hall in St Andrew and Rocky Point, Clarendon.
Police say Fox was found Friday afternoon and is currently back with her family. She is not a suspect at this time and investigations into Laing's murder are still ongoing.
Laing was reportedly shot dead after leaving a party in Portland Cottage in Clarendon to take Fox home bout 4 am on Wednesday. His Range Rover was found on the banks of a river in bushes close to where his body was found.
When his body was discovered, only the woman's belongings were found at the scene and in Laing's vehicle.

excursion, momentarily handing the lead
to Brian Linn, who'd started the race in
second in his Honda. In short order I was
able to work my way back to his bumper.
As the white flag flew, Linn ran deep into
Turn 1, opening the door for me to retake
the lead. As I worked to complete the pass
in Turn 2 we had side-to-side contact, Linn
fell to third, and I looked good for the gold.
Little did I know that my right-rear wheelhad suffered a crack from the contact andthe tire was losing pressure. I discoveredthis upon entry to the Bus Stop for the finaltime, as the now compromised Yaris gotvery loose. A quick jaunt through the grassand then back on track, still in the lead, butmy exit speed suffered. I could see AlanHulse and Linn coming fast. Hulse,incidentally, was enjoying a fantastic race,coming through from seventh on the grid.Transitioning from NASCAR Turn 4 tothe relatively flat front straight, I was onceagain reminded of the ailing rear tire asthe Yaris drifted around beneath me. Ifought to control the car, wrestling it to thebottom of the track, and held my breath aswe approached the checkered flag.
In a finish like something out of the
Daytona 500, Hulse and Linn had made
contact as they caught me just shy of the
finish line. The contact left Hulse backward
in the outside wall, while Linn collected
me on his way to the infield grass. When
the dust settled, Linn was credited with the
win, I survived for second place, and Hulse
had enough momentum to slide across the
finish backward for third. Crazy stuff, but
unforgettable for everyone involved.
In a moment fitting of a NASCAR race at Daytona, the H Production win came down
to the wire with an action-packed finish. When the dust settled, Brian Linn (No. 37)
was scored as the winner, with Jason Isley ( 99) second and Alan Hulse (137) third.

Essentials For The Ideal Guest Bedroom
If you're fortunate enough to have a spare bedroom in your home designated for guests, then this post is for you. Having a spare bedroom is such a luxury and one should always make the best of it, specially for incoming guests. We find a guest bedroom should at all times be presentable and hold the necessary essentials for a welcoming retreat. Often times, client projects include the designing of guest rooms, a great opportunity to showcase special hostess skills. Living in a small apartment here in New York City, I don't have a spare bedroom at home, but if I did, these are the things that I would immediately add to the space.
Guest Bedroom foundations
Architectural Features: Just before we select any furniture for any space, we will assess the bones of the room and determine which architectural features would work nicely with our intended design direction. These could be adding moulding, switching out flooring, moving the electrical for lighting purposes, or adding built-ins. Also, this is the step where one should think of paint and/or wallpaper options.
Bed: Naturally, we would start any bedroom design by selecting a beautiful and substantial bed such as an upholstered piece in the right size for the bedroom. Refer back to our Design Study on the Anatomy of a Bedroom, our Guide To Making A bed and our Guide To Styling A Bed to learn more.
- Nightstand: Since guest bedrooms will most likely not be inhabited for the majority of the year, there's no need to use nightstands with a lot of storage. You may get away with non conventional options, but we will usually always use substantial pieces with drawers and or doors because I find it very considerate of a host to think of the guest's storage needs, even if it is a place to store a rag before bed.
- Seating: If the room has space for seating, please, oh please don't hesitate to add a bench at the foot of the bed. Benches are our preferred pieces, but you could of course use a small backless sofa or settee here. A small upholstered side chair is a great addition to any guest bedroom, too.
- Lighting: Like with any room, guest bedrooms need loads of lighting options so that every section of the space has a light source. Add table lamps or wall sconces by the bed, a floor lamp by the side chair (if you've added one) and of course, you've got access to the ceiling light fixture, which is always great. No matter where your guest moves to, they should have a light source available to them, ready to aluminate their task.
- Rug: We've mentioned before that we are not big fans of carpet, so if we can, we would encourage hardwood floors throughout the entire house to our clients. The use of a rug is just as ideal because it grounds the space, delineates an area and offers comfort underfoot. A rug is imperative in any bedroom design. Refer back to our Design Study on Rug Sizes in Bedrooms to learn which size rug is right for your space.
Guest Bedroom Essentials
Textiles: These are super important because they will serve as the means to create your desired ambiance. Bed linens with a considerate thread count, throw pillows and curtains / window treatments should coordinate beautifully and be of great quality for a luxurious retreat. We've discussed How To Mix Patterns, a post we think an ideal compliment to this one.
Scents: Everyone loves a deliciously smelling home / room, right? Well, treat your guests to just that! Above a dresser or nightstand leave them a candle or diffuser so that their room smells heavenly. We love the Fresh Fig scent from The White Company.
Basket of Essentials: We think a lovely treat to any guest is to anticipate their needs from the start. Create a quick "welcoming basket" with all of the essentials you think they may need during their stay. These include towels, washcloths, cream, toothbrush + toothpaste, mouthwash, bandages, a note with the home's wifi name + password, a little notepad with a pen or pencil, book, magazine, etc. When putting together this basket, think of what you would like to have on hand if you were staying over at someone's home.
Greenery: We love a good flower arrangement and can't imagine not including one in every single space we design. We know at times it is difficult to keep plants and flowers alive, so don't stress out, go ahead and use the fake stuff. As much as we love the real thing, there's no shame in using a faux flower arrangement allowing you to keep it in the guest bedroom all year long. Here are just a few of our favorite faux arrangements, which may be purchased through us. Please contact us with a product inquiry if you're interested in any.
- Water: Simple as that - including drinkable water to your guest bedroom is such a sweet touch, saving your guest a trip to the kitchen in the middle of the night. Instead, we would put a carafe with stacking tumblers on the bedside table or any available surface like a side table or dresser. We love this option by The White Company, a narrower version from Crate and Barrel or one with handle from Pottery Barn.
- Laundry Basket: Guests will appreciate a spot to put their dirty clothes in - enough said 😏 Place a laundry basket in a corner or inside the room's closet. If there's no space left in the room, consider a pop-up hamper.
- Charging Station: We're in the 21st century and you know everyone is constantly on their phone. Make sure to leave your guests an easy way to charge their devices. If plugs are found behind furniture, leave them an extension cord for easy access (extension cords are real life changers, people).
We hope these proven tips help you create a lovely retreat for your guests this holiday season!

Subject to English Law?
Okay, now Archbishop Welby is claiming that English law prevents the Anglican Consultative Council (ACC) from discussing his decision to exclude same-sex spouses from Lambeth 2020. Apparently, Welby thinks his exclusion of same-sex spouses is a matter of doctrine and the ACC is not permitted under English Law to discuss doctrine.
Honestly, this appeal to English law in an effort to stifle debate is ridiculous. It's almost too easy to take apart. I'll limit myself to three things.
First, invitations to a Lambeth Conference are not a matter of Christian doctrine. Please forgive the self-reference, but I have a Ph.D. in systematic theology and have taught Christian doctrine for many years. Christology is a Christian doctrine. The Trinity is a Christian doctrine. Ecclesiology is a Christian doctrine. I have yet to read a Christian theology of conference invitations. Perhaps, Welby thinks Christian marriage is a matter of Christian doctrine. Debatable, but let's grant that it is. Even so, it's a bit of newspeak to elide from invitations to a Lambeth Conference to the doctrine of Christian marriage in an effort to claim that English law forbids its discussion at the ACC.
[For the record, I'm in favor of inviting people with widely different views of Christian marriage into debate and discussion. Makes for better conversation. I say, let everyone make the best arguments they can and then let's see where it leads us. Then again, I rather like a good theological argument!]
Second, the ACC has, in fact, discussed doctrine at previous meetings. It took me about three minutes to go to the ACC website, click on the documents from the last ACC meeting in 2016, and find the following resolution:
Resolution 16.17: Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification
The Anglican Consultative Council
- welcomes and affirms the substance of the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification(JDDJ), signed by Lutherans and Roman Catholics in 1999; and
- recognizes that Anglicans have explored the doctrine of justification with both Lutherans and Roman Catholics; and
- recognizes that Anglicans and Lutherans share a common understanding of God's justifying grace, as the Helsinki Report stated that we are accounted righteous and are made righteous before God only by grace through faith because of the merits of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and not on account of our works or merits; and
- recognizes that in 1986 the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC) produced a statement Salvation and the Church, which observed that our two Communions are agreed on the essential aspects of the doctrine of salvation and on the Church's role within it.
One does not need a Ph.D. in systematic theology to see that the "Doctrine of Justification" is obviously a matter of … you guessed it … doctrine. Which raises the questions: Was this discussion of the doctrine of justification at the 2016 ACC meeting a gross violation of English law? Are the members of the 2016 ACC still subject to prosecution for their flagrant violation of English law? Or is Welby's claim that the ACC cannot under English law discuss matters of Christian doctrine just foolish?
Third, I'm not too sure Welby has thought through the implications of claiming that the ACC, one of the four so-called instruments of communion in the Anglican Communion is subject to English law. First of all, I must say I've never really been terribly impressed with the Anglican appeal to the instruments of communion. In particular, let's recall that the ACC held is first meeting in 1971. Forgive me, but the seventies also gave us leisure suits and disco. [Okay, that was a bit of a cheap shot, but sometimes sarcasm is the best way to point out the pretentions in institutional claims to authority.] Second, and more importantly, does Welby realize he just announced to the whole Anglican Communion that one of the so-called instruments of communion that supposedly governs our life together is subject to English law? Just take a moment to ponder that claim. . . . Enough said.
I'll stop now. I could easily point out more flaws and fallacies in Welby's statements. It's almost too easy. A bit boring as well. But quite frankly his newspeak/churchspeak needs to be critiqued. I wish there were a more vigorous religious press that would take him to task.

Internet of SmellsMarius Buliga (chorasimilarity)
The world is wired. Is bathed in wi-fi waves. It is also full of smell. Eve and Adam meet at a party. Both are good looking, the kind which is so clean that it looks almost puppet like. When Adam sees Eve and approaches her, Eve is at first welcoming. Her sniffer ring sends her a message. (The sniffer ring is just a ring with a feather moving somehow between a dog tail and a butterfly wing. It is of course connected to the wired/wifi network.) The message reads: "Adam has a very bad form of cancer. Is not good genetic material to mate with". As the polite behaviour rules dictate, Eve forwards the notice to Adam, maybe as a visual message, or as a message which appears on his health wristband, then she moves away, looking for other interesting people. Adam is only mildly concerned. He contacts, privately, his internet+health insurance provider and files a bug request. Then he goes along with the party. The next scene happens somewhere far, visible from the external conditions (like for example it is day there, while at the party place was night) and from the people in this scene (for example while Adam and Eve might be porcelaine figures, maybe blonds, or maybe japonese, the guys in the new scene are more like indians or pakistani.) So these are a bunch of Mechanical Turks in a internet cafe like place in India (for example). They receive Adam's bug ticket. We can see one of them, or several doing various stuff on their not so modern computers, but one of them opens on his screen Adam's request. We can see that the screen has two windows open, one is a REPL Lisp window, the other is a chemlambda simulation. (This is a hook for a technical audience, important as any hacker movie screenshot.) On the Lisp REPL there is an error message. The Mechanical Turk fixes it, then runs a chemlambda simulation. It works. He then opens a smell convertor.

text: Finding new ways to diagnose and treat myocarditis Novel molecular targets for the diagnosis and treatment of myocarditis (Dr Edward Stephenson) Federica Marelli Berg (lead researcher) Queen Mary, University of London Start date: 01 August 2016 (Duration 3 years) Supervised by BHF Professor Federica Marelli Berg, this Clinical Research Training Fellow is looking for new ways to diagnose and treat myocarditis, when the heart muscle becomes severely inflamed. It is difficult to diagnose myocarditis as the test involves doing an invasive biopsy of the heart muscle, and it is not very sensitive and can miss the diagnosis. There is also no specific treatment for myocarditis. Although we know that immune cells called T cells cause inflammation of the heart muscle in myocarditis, we don't know exactly which T cells are involved and how they are encouraged to travel to the heart. Professor Marelli Berg's research team has discovered that a molecule released from heart cells, called hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), is needed for T cells to infiltrate and damage the heart. These T cells carry a combination of proteins called receptors on their surface, which act like a 'molecular signature' to identify them. In this project, the fellow will monitor the expression of the T cell 'signature' in the blood of people with acute and chronic myocarditis. Blocking HGF can prevent heart inflammation in mice, so the fellow will test in mice if blocking a protein receptor on the T cell that attaches to HGF prevents these cells from travelling to the heart.If successful, this research could reveal a new, non-invasive laboratory test to diagnose myocarditis, and a possible new way to treat it.

Investors Were Told They Had a Total of $64.8 Billion
For all the whiz-bang trading strategies Bernard Madoff said he used to generate his legendary steady returns, the fraud he is expected to plead guilty to was as simple as it gets -- he apparently made up the numbers.
Investigators have said they determined that Mr. Madoff made no trades for at least 13 years. Instead, he allegedly took in money from a network of feeder funds and investors and used it to meet any withdrawals his investors requested.
If proven, it was a classic Ponzi scheme that stands out mainly for its longevity. Because returns were so steady, investors had little need to redeem their money, and many of them were clients for decades.
As the numbers grew, Mr. Madoff apparently counted on feeder funds that vacuumed up cash around the world. In some cases, the funds claimed to be managing the money but simply passed it off to Mr. Madoff. Mr. Madoff's ability to produce modest but steady returns, typically 10% to 15% annually, was a big attraction for investors at a time when interest rates were low.
In the end, the firm sent account statements indicating investors had $64.8 billion invested with Mr. Madoff, including gains made from decades of what appeared to be bogus returns.
Based on the evidence, the mechanics of the alleged fraud relied on a finely balanced mix of loyal employees and family, falsified client statements and financial documents, and investors who felt privileged to be clients, so didn't ask too many questions. It took place in the firm's investment advisory business, which was believed to be separate from its original stock-trading operation.
More than a dozen employees dealt with shareholders in the investment operation, sending out tens of thousands of account statements outlining trades that had purportedly been made. An IBM computer located on the 17th floor of the company's headquarters in the Lipstick Building on the East Side of Manhattan helped churn out the statements. Junior employees put the statements in envelopes.
This group kept track of Mr. Madoff's investment clients, which numbered in the thousands. It set up accounts and monitored client balances. It provided the clients with market color on how the portfolio was invested.
The people who worked in this operation rarely left. According to people familiar with the matter, Mr. Madoff and others working for him would occasionally check to see where various stocks had traded in recent weeks.
In one case, a longtime Madoff associate instructed assistants to produce trading tickets that are now believed to have been falsified, according to people familiar with statements recently given to prosecutors who are trying to determine whether anyone knowingly helped Mr. Madoff carry out his alleged fraud.
Several employees have received subpoenas from regulators seeking documents about their dealings with Madoff investors, and at least five have been interviewed by prosecutors, according to people familiar with the matter.
The portfolio statements from customers suggested Mr. Madoff employed a strategy known as split-strike conversion, where he would invest in blue-chip stocks and options on those stocks or stock indexes in such a way that the risk of loss was limited but so were potential gains. That produced modest, steady returns. Account statements showed these trades, though given the amount of money Mr. Madoff was managing, executing that strategy would have overwhelmed the options markets for the contracts he was trading.
He created his firm to trade stocks on Nasdaq and attracted many clients based on his reputation as a market-structure expert.
The alleged scheme took a turn around 2002, when he began to funnel money from the investment-advisory business to his stock-trading business, according to documents from federal prosecutors unsealed Tuesday. That business had become less profitable as trading fees declined.

I have a 2GB USB drive that had about 1.8GB of stored data on it. So I delete these files, and then I check the drive's properties, and I see it still has 1.8GB of data on it (only 0.2GB remaining)!
The file system doesn't see any files on it, but the drive is almost at full capacity. I previously had UNetbootin create a bootable USB drive out of this stick, so I'm wondering if that created some kind of "partition" or something on it that can't be erased through the file system.
I just want my 2GB back - don't care what I have to do to get it. I'm also not able to get to the store and buy another stick, if that was going to be someone's suggestion! Thanks in advance!
Edit - I'm on Linux Mint and/or Linux Ubuntu (I'm in front of 2 machines right now, so a solution for either of those OSes would suffice).

From the Ground Up
In my twenty years of teaching, children & the arts have always been my coworkers. As proud owner of the Dance and Music Academy and Co-Founder/Artistic Director of Trifecta Dance Collective, I've worked in collaboration with thousands of young artists. and I've always held the firm belief that my staff and I are responsible for giving our students unique exposure to the artistic community. We have always committed ourselves to excellence. My staff and I hold the shared dedication of teaching and empowering young minds. Upon becoming a studio owner, I felt I finally had a platform to really implement all the ideas I had collected over the years. Those ideas have finally taken physical form, and this year we are ecstatic to take our artistic teaching philosophy to the next level.
Today's dance training at the student level takes form in incredibly different ways. The dance world has opportunity for an abundance of studio experiences that focus on differing goals. While we prioritize individual technique and artistic and social growth, these past years have cultivated new focuses. We push ourselves to look past immediate goals and to the future; we ask ourselves how dance can truly impact our children's futures.
The arts can be the most powerful voice of today. We dedicate ourselves to being the voice of comradery, positivity, and unity in our communities. The past season has allowed us more platforms to "speak" from; we have participated in even more benefit concerts, collaborative events, and festival performances. We introduce community service through dance at a young age, teaching our students the lesson that mixing one's passions with helping others has an impact on the world. We teach the next generation of leaders. By embedding the arts in our communities through youth involvement, our students learn the values that will shape them as young leaders of the future.
Twenty dancers, parents, and myself travelled to New York City last April to perform our 50-minute show "The Power of Beauty" eight times for hundreds of people at Anita's Way, a dance venue that connects dancers and audiences through free artistic events. The response to our work that we received both inspired and solidified my decision to dedicate our mission to connecting art and humanity. Looking around the audience from backstage, we felt awestruck to see a spectrum of New Yorkers; businessmen and women, tourists, students, and passerby alike had dropped in to watch us perform. This far-reaching demographic was visibly moved by our performance. Dancing at Anita's Way stood out as a finite moment when our art was truly accessible to anyone, no matter what their background. And isn't that what our main goal is? To defy societal norms and unify humanity through dance?
These are the type of experiences I want to give our dancers; the experiences that will impact their futures, the moments that will stick out as turning points in their young lives. Our dancers are brave enough to share their passions wholeheartedly, to see the bigger picture of how dance will impact their futures and the lives of those around them. Children and the arts are mutually inspiring. As an organization with two platforms to "speak" from, we bring both powerful entities together and dedicate our work to cultivating a voice that will speak for all.

Veganism: All the Questions You Have Answered
January 10, 2018
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
At 14, I decided to change my life forever by making the stand to stop eating meat. I have been vegan for nearly two years and I humbly believe I am qualified enough to give all of you "Average Joe's of Diet" an overall understanding of what veganism is. I will be covering what a vegan lifestyle is really like (not just what the memes make us out to be). However, I think the most appropriate way of going about this is by answering the most common questions I receive on the daily. So, let's get started.
"What is veganism anyway?"
I can't really get annoyed with this question since it seems that a lot of people are just simply unaware of what being vegan really means. Many believe it is the same as being vegetarian, which only entails of the absence of meat, not dairy or eggs. Some vegans also incorporate veganism in not only their diet but in household, fashion, or beauty products such as not purchasing leather or things that include animal by-products like soap, etc. Many vegans and vegetarians also buy items that are labeled cruelty free, especially with makeup. I personally try to purchase vegan and cruelty free items as much as possible, however sometimes it is hard to get around.
"Oh, so you're vegan. But, where do you get your protein?"
I swear, if I were given a dime for every time I had been asked this question, I would be a millionaire. I didn't really notice how much people cared about protein until I became a vegan. Usually, I would answer this question simply by stating that I get protein from nuts, seeds, whole grains, and dark green vegetables – which becomes repetitive after a while. Contrary to popular belief, you do not have to eat meat to get a healthy amount of protein. In fact, many meat eaters are unaware that they over-consume protein, so, vegans aren't really lacking in their amino acids as much as you might think. Next time you *meat* a vegan, you might just want to skip asking them this question because 11 times out of 10 they have been asked this countless times before.
"Do you eat fish?"
If you would like a textbook definition, veganism is when a person does not eat any animal products or byproducts. This includes eggs, milk, cheese, and meat – all kinds of meat. I'm not exactly sure why people ask me this question, because as far as I know fish are animals and always have been. So, no. I don't eat fish. Sorry to disappoint.
"Vegan? Why?"
Every vegan has their own story and reasons, but for me, it all started with freshman year health class. Our class was watching a documentary on America's food industry and it opened my eyes to the horror of the meat industry. Not only do the animals get treated horribly (which is an absolute and definite understatement), but the meat that is processed is infested with hormones and bacteria alike – so, it wasn't hard for me to make the switch to stop eating meat. I realized my health meant much more than what I craved, or what I was raised to eat in my previous daily lifestyle. I didn't stop consuming eggs and milk until a year later, when I watched another documentary showing how cruel the cows and chickens were treated in the dairy industry. I am vegan because I choose to increase the amount of health I receive by eating good food, (which I believe is the cure to any sickness) and to lessen the amount of violence I was inadvertently participating in. Now, being vegetarian for three years and vegan for two, I can see the benefits in my weight, my skin, and my attitude on life.
"Being vegan must be hard for you, and expensive? Right?"
Well, I guess being vegan in the first month was a little difficult. I wasn't accustomed to eating vegan and I had no idea about what I should eat or what I should buy. But no, being vegan is not a chore. It is my lifestyle. I don't even have to think about what I eat, I just know. I also don't have cravings for meat, eggs, or milk. When you are really passionate about being vegan and bettering yourself, the craving for meat disappears. This might not be the case for all vegans in the beginning, considering I have extremely good self control and can cut things cold turkey (no pun intended). However, I do not see myself eating meat ever again, which most veteran vegans could also agree with.
When it comes to vegan food being expensive… yes and no. If you think about it, I am just replacing the price of meat, eggs, and milk with more fruits, veggies, and organic products. Fresh fruits and vegetables are relatively cheap, even more so with frozen fruits and veggies. Just because you are vegan doesn't mean you have to eat organically, however many vegan products come as non-gmo and organic, which tends to be more expensive. Things like rice, pasta, oats, quinoa are relatively inexpensive as well. In general, a vegan lifestyle could cost about as much as or a little more than a meat-eater's diet would. As you all know, eating healthy is relatively more expensive and I have a price to pay for bettering my health. That's just how it is. So, spending a few more bucks on healthy eating isn't much of a detriment to the bank account.
I'm sure that the more people understand veganism, the more people will come to be open to the possibility of incorporating healthy food habits into their everyday lifestyle. My hope is to encourage people with my story to try something new when it comes to their health. After learning a little bit more about my lifestyle, I hope it inspires you to change up your own.
