The United Kingdom established a protectorate over the Solomon Islands in 1893. In the Second World War there was fierce fighting between the Americans and the Japanese in the Solomon Islands campaign of 1942–45, including the Battle of Guadalcanal.
Self-government was achieved in 1976 and independence two years later. The Solomon Islands is a constitutional monarchy with the Queen of the Solomon Islands, at present Elizabeth II, as the head of state. Gordon Lilo Darcy is the eleventh and current Prime Minister of the Solomon Islands

This time last year, the NZD sat at approximately 88c to the US dollar. It now sits at 65c. Maybe thought of as too hard to understand and simply easier not thought about, just how does the weakening NZD affect the average everyday Kiwi?
We asked Westpac Senior Economist Felix Delbruck and Senior Market Strategist Imre Speizer about what some of the flow on effects might be with a weaker dollar.
"The average consumer will see imports becoming more expensive," Felix says. "Petrol prices are back above $2 a litre, and obviously buying direct from offshore or going on an overseas holiday has become more expensive. Prices of other imported goods and services, from TVs to cars, will also go up as time goes on."
"Prices in stores typically take longer to change. It takes time for new stock to come in, and importers and retailers may decide to vary their margins to maintain market share."He says the basic idea is that a lower NZD makes prices set in foreign currency more expensive in NZD terms.

For New Zealand dairy farmers, Felix says a lower NZD means the pay-out won't be as low as it could have been.
"Essentially, lower dairy prices mean that as a dairy exporting nation we are getting less for what we sell on world markets, so we're also able to purchase less. The exchange rate just decides who wears the pain. A lower NZD will cushion dairy farmers' incomes and make other exporters better off, but it will also make imports more expensive."
So what's behind this all?
Senior Market Strategist Imre Speizer says the main driver of the Kiwi exchange rate falling is that the US central bank is likely to push up interest rates from late this year onwards.
"The NZD/USD exchange rate has got 2 legs to it. Things can happen to the Kiwi leg and things can happen to the US leg.
"Currently the US economy is doing better and in a position where it can start pushing up interest rates soon, which is going to push up the US dollar relative to many other currencies."
Alternatively, the New Zealand economy is starting to slow.
"It's still healthy, but slowing," Imre says. "It's most noticeable in the dairy sector, but confidence in other parts of the economy is slowing as well, and all of that combines to force the Reserve Bank to cut interest rates.
"We think it will continue to cut rates until the OCR gets to 2.0%, which would be a record low. Lower interest rates, all else equal, will weaken a currency."
Expectations of US hiking and the Kiwi economy slowing have already caused a sharp fall in the NZD/USD exchange rate, and Imre says these expectations are unlikely to wane.
"In fact they're going to persist for at least the rest of this year. So for the rest of this year we can say that we think that the Kiwi exchange rate is going to weaken further. We've put a target on it by year end of 60c which is 5c from where we are right now."
This is down around 27% from this time last year where the NZD sat at around 88cents to the USD.
"You can see the start of the decline quite clearly," Imre says. "The big turnaround occurred in July last year. This 27% loss is quite significant."
He says it's almost impossible to pinpoint the equilibrium level of where the two currencies usually sit.
"Since we floated, we've roughly averaged 63c nominally against the US. So you could say that coincidentally where we're targeting by year end is close to the long-run average."
The recent Chinese stock market shock
Imre says if you want to take a third angle to the weakening NZD, you could cite the Chinese stock market's plunge as well as the Greek debt crisis with the possibility yet that Greece may exit the Euro zone.
"Both of those things create a climate of risk aversion such that money flows away from risky investments into safe havens," he says. "New Zealand is not a safe haven so offshore money would tend to flow out of the New Zealand dollar and into safer currencies like the Yen, Swiss Franc, and the US dollar."
He says the Chinese stock market drop is a negative shock to risk appetite and the Kiwi dollar is closely related to risk appetite.
"If risk appetite goes up, the Kiwi dollar goes up, and vice versa. In this case, the Chinese stock market shock is negative which has depressed risk appetite."
How long will this last and where to from here?
Imre says what often happens after a very sharp market move is that the market speculators are positioned overwhelmingly one way or the other.
"In this case they are overwhelmingly short the Kiwi dollar, i.e. have been net sellers."
The Senior Market Strategist says when everyone's positioned the same way, all it takes is a few mild surprises in the opposite direction and it starts causing people to run for the door.
"This is when you get a very sharp pull back the other way.
"I think if we do get down to those low 60s, then the chance of a decent rebound becomes high."

"If it is important to you, you will find a way. If not you'll find an excuse."
"I am too busy; my schedule doesn't allow time for me to practice."
I know that some of my students do have pretty crazy schedules, but I wonder if our fast-paced culture has conditioned kids to think that they're too busy to do things that they really could fit into their day if it was important enough… In going above and beyond the call as a teacher to keep piano lessons fun and engaging, I wonder if we sometimes forget to tell students the reality:
- Sometimes daily practice will be hard.
- Sometimes you will fall short of what you want to achieve.
- Sometimes practicing will not be fun.
- Sometimes you will feel like quitting.
- Sometimes you will wonder why you are learning to play the piano.
This is normal. It's okay to feel these things. But you must press on.
You must be diligent to practice every day.
You must put your whole heart into doing the best you can.
Because it will be worth it. It is worth it!
Is your student practicing enough?
See this Table of Practice Times
1 x 60-minute Practice per Week = 2 Months Progress in 12 Months
1 x 30-minute Practice per Day = 6 Months Progress in 12 Months
1 x 45-minute Practice per Day = 12 Months Progress in 12 Months
1 x 60-minute Practice per Day = 15 Months Progress in 12 Months
1 x 90-minute Practice per Day = 24 Months Progress in 12 Months
2 Hours Practice per Day = 36 Months Progress in 12 Months
The Top 10 Worst Ways to Practice
- Start from the beginning and fumble through to the end.
- Repeat Step 1.
- Continue to repeat Step 1 while growing tired of making the same mistakes in the same places over and over again.
- Make mistakes and correct/continue without making mental post-its of where or why they occurred.
- Repeat Step 4, probably while repeating Steps 1, 2 and 3.
- Practice the parts you can already play, and neglect the ones you can't.
- Repeat Step 6, probably while repeating Steps 1-5.
- Too fast—too soon—too often. Get pulled over for speeding.
- Ignore all those numbers above and below the notes.
- Last minute cram-sessions.
The Better Ways to Practice
- Play at a speed (tempo) that allows for accuracy and no fumbles, frustration, or stops and starts.
- Note where, when and why mistakes occur and analyze for solution.
- Cut out hard spots and work 'em to death, then back up a bit and paste them back in.
- Remember: 3 times in a row without a mistake. This can be done on a small section, larger section, or the whole piece.
- Patience - practice right no matter what.
- Take plenty of patience pills (breathe!).
- Start today, don't delay! And plan fingerings early!
- Engage the ear and brain!

Sleepwear at its best
From all-in-one sleep suits and velour lounge sets, to cute camisoles and pretty print playsuits, winter is the perfect season to snuggle up in a pair of cosy pyjamas.
When lounging around the home, why not team a pair of silk separates with a classic white T-shirt or cashmere sweatshirt to create a timeless and snug look. Pyjamas are quickly being established as a more fashionable version of the humble tracksuit and a number of new styles are being introduced on a seasonal basis. With so many variants to choose from, some may feel that pyjamas are quite simply too stylish for the bedroom alone.
Opt for silk
Silk pyjama suits are big in the celebrity world, with many A-listers wearing such ensembles to red carpet events. This doesn't mean satin printed pyjamas are only for outside the bedroom – they're obviously a great choice for bedroom too.
From bedroom to catwalk
Pyjamas were first introduced to the runways last year, when a number of models took to the catwalks in an array of silky printed trousers, matching shirts and killer heels. The reason this trend has become so universally popular is mainly down to its flattering nature. Elasticated waistbands and loose fitting tops tend to compliment all shapes and sizes.
Laced up
Elegant dressing gown jackets are another addition to cosy, after-hours glamour and when they're teamed with soft jersey playsuits they help to create the perfect sleep ensemble. Investing in a style that boasts a lace trim will add an element of charm to the whole look.
Comfort and style
Comfy womens pyjamas are a welcome solace against the winter blues – nothing beats cosy nights in watching chick flicks and catching up with the girls. You don't need to dress up either, oversized T-shirts and cotton leggings are a great option for sleepovers. The trend this season is for quirky slogan shirt designs with statements such as 'I Love Sleep', 'No Angel', 'Dreamy' and 'Sleep Is So Last Season' proving popular. Whether you match the tops with long trousers, sexy shorts or go for bare legs and briefs for a sultry look, PJs are another great trend this season.

Mt. Greylock Mourns Mrs. Keeley
February 15, 2017
Filed under News
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Any visitor who walked the halls of Mt. Greylock yesterday would have seen students wearing all manner of purple clothes in honor of Mrs. Keeley, who passed away over the weekend. Members of the JCL organized the purple movement because purple was one of her favorite colors as well as one of the official colors of the JCL. Mrs. Keeley taught Latin and classics for 18 years at Mt. Greylock and was actively involved in the Junior Classical League for the entirety of her career. Her dedication to not only Mt. Greylock, but also to the Massachusetts and National Junior Classical League, highlighted her love for her students and her enthusiasm for Latin.
In an email informing faculty of Mrs. Keeley's passing, Principal MacDonald said, "Marj was a firecracker of passion and goodwill." Students who had Mrs. Keeley will remember her energetic attitude, omnipresent love for her students, and wild, infectious sense of humor. Mrs. Keeley earned her nickname "Ma Keeley" through the compassion she showed to everyone she knew, especially those students lucky enough to be in her class, whom she affectionately called "her kids." Mrs. Keeley was an incredible force of love, cheer, and enthusiasm, and the entire community mourns the loss of not only an excellent teacher, but a caring friend.
The Echo will publish a more in-depth feature celebrating Mrs. Keeley's life later in the spring.

30 years ago this month, were you looking at the calendar, gnawing at your fingernails, and counting down the last 30 days until the end of your painful, three-year-long wait?
I was.
What am I talking about?
That's right.
It was 30 years ago, back when Star Wars was the big screen's most thrilling saga, that fans were pulling out their hair, counting down one last month until the release of The Empire Strikes Back. The three-year wait for the sequel to the biggest movie of all time had been almost unbearable.
But no one anticipated that The Empire Strikes Back would become not only the best Star Wars film ever, but the best *sequel* ever.
Well, that's my opinion, anyway. There have been great sequels. But Empire has been the most influential of them all, because it was darker, stranger, and it delivered surprises so jarring that fans would spend the next three years arguing about what they meant.
Take The Dark Knight, for example. Or The Godfather, Part II.
Nothing in either of those films comes close to the culture-shocking revelation that Darth Vader makes to Luke Skywalker near the end of Empire. We take that kind of thing for granted now, but at the time it tore the audience to pieces.
I'll never forget how, right up until the day Return of the Jedi arrived three years later, I had more friends who disbelieved Darth Vader's surprising announcement than believed it.
Further, nothing had prepared us for how the film concludes, with the film's most beloved (well, arguably) character frozen in carbonite and taken by the enemy.
And then there was agonizing realization that we'd have to wait three whole years to find out what happened next.
It was like we were frozen in carbonite for that amount of time.
Today, that kind of cliffhanger is par for the course with franchises. But back then, The Empire Strikes Back was as exhilarating as adventure storytelling could be. And the thrills were all the more thrilling for having had to wait so long to experience them.

As we drove from through the California valley past orchards of orange, lemon, and nut trees to the foothills and Sequoia National Park, we noticed a few stores along the way that had signs out front offering snow chains for rent. Since it was the middle of May, Dad assumed that these signs were leftover from the winter. Imagine our surprise when the ranger at the park gate said we had a bit of a problem. Because it was currently snowing at the top and the winding roads on the mountainside were covered in ice and close to impassable, snow chains would be mandatory after a certain point on the main park road. Unfortunately, the giant sequoia trees that we had come to see were located far past this point. We continued on to the Visitor Center to rethink our plan, as the thought of driving on icy mountain roads with limited barriers was not very appealing. Thanks to our iPhones and a strong wireless connection, we were able to hatch a new plan that would allow us to see giant trees the following day.
While still at Sequoia NP, we decided to take advantage of a couple of the hikes at the lower elevations where the roads were still passable.
We hiked the Hospital Rock Trail down to the Kaweah River. The trail led to a location that was so amazing, it was hard to believe. Giant boulders, roaring rapids, and incredible mountain views (video here). Allison found a piece of a rare mineral, malachite, that she identified with her Rocks & Minerals book.
Andrew and Audrey found a giant red salamander as we were coming back up the trail. While this hike was not something that we had planned on doing originally, we felt blessed to see this beautiful place.
The kids were VERY disappointed that we were unable to see the Sequoias, especially the "General Sherman", the world's largest living tree. Instead of heading east as previously planned, the next morning we headed west in search of alternative giant trees. We were only four hours away from Muir Woods National Monument, so off we went. Having visited Muir Woods before, Mom and Dad knew that it would satisfy the kids' thirst for giant tree viewing. As an added bonus, we could spend the night in San Francisco, one of Mom and Dad's favorite places.
The giant redwoods at Muir Woods are incredible. Some of the trees are over 1000 years old and soar upward to heights of over 250 feet tall. Walking through this majestic forest is a peaceful, spiritual experience.
In addition to the standard Junior Ranger program, Muir Woods NM offers a "Quest" for kids to help enhance their experience in the park. Using the guidebook, you follow the trails through the woods and uncover clues to the location of a treasure chest and the combination to unlock it. We found all the clues and located the treasure.
We began our journey searching for giant sequoias and ended up finding even taller redwoods. A great benefit of traveling without concrete plans is the ability to change directions on the fly. We joked with the ranger at the gate at Sequoia that "there are no problems, only opportunities". Muir Woods was our opportunity.

HUNTSVILLE, AL -- The Huntsville Botanical Garden wants to help recycle Christmas trees, but it can't do it alone.
Harvey Cotten, chief operating officer at the garden, said people are going to need to drop off their trees at an area near the garden.
There's a mulch pile between the CASA Community Garden and the Botanical Garden on Bob Wallace Avenue where people can leave their trees this year, Cotten said.
"The city is not going to pick up your tree on your curb," he said. "If they pick it up, it will go to the landfill.
"If you want your tree recycled or turned into mulch, then bring it to the mulch pile just east of the garden," he said.
Cotten said the tree recycling program has been around a long time, but it dropped off a few years ago. This is the second year of the do-it-yourself version.
He said he hopes becomes it becomes a project between the city and the garden someday, but for now, it's just not possible.
"There's a lot of moving parts," he said. "It's the hauling and separation that gives you the hardest part."
If you want to drop off a tree, Cotten said, remove the stand and all ornaments. Those trees will be chipped up and turned into mulch in January.
"That mulch will be available for pickup and use as people see fit," he said. "Any of the mulch is free for people in town."

11th of this month, Joy turned two (Yay!). Now two, its a strange number. I mean, its hard to decide if he is a big boy which he claims to be (he has declared himself a biggg boy and also a suppperr boy!) or still a small baby. When he was born, he was small. When he turned one, he was big (but small). Now when he is two, he must be a big boy, isn't it?
Anyways, there are times when I and PIC say, 'When Joy was small, he would do this, do that' and then realization would strike that he is still small.
Joy gifted himself to me on Mother's day. I mean, I found out that I was pregnant on Mother's day. Apart from my own family i.e, MIL and FIL, PIC (obviously!), I only shared this news with Visha. I did not share it with my mom, my family, my extended family and even my friends. How they found out (after two months) is a different and a sad story altogether.
My pregnancy journey was not an easy one. No one's journey is easy during pregnancy but I am sure, atleast, its a happy journey. Well, mine was not. I lost my SIL, BIL, who were in their 30s and my neice (6), in a car accident and my nephew (8) was badly injured too. That is when my entire family found out about my pregnancy. The doctor had advised me complete bed rest and also asked me to step down, only when I had to use the loo. Two months I did exactly what she said. But after this accident, everything changed. My nephew was completely dependent on me and PIC. It took him two months to get down from the bed. Not only this, MIL lost her eyesight completely after hearing this news. Her vision earlier was only 80 percent but now she couldn't see someone sitting next to her also. So, in short, everyone was dependent on me and PIC.
It was difficult but finally, Joy arrived on 11th January, 2013. I know it might be hard to digest for few, but before getting operated, I told the doctor not to show me the baby if it was a boy. They did exactly the same but I was not told the gender till then. I was still hoping it to be a girl. Little later, the doctor came and informed, 'Congratulations! chokra hua hain! (its a boy).'
I was adamant on not seeing him(I was anyways not in my senses to see him properly!) but when I saw how everyone had already started ignoring me and were under 'his' spell, I wanted to see if 'his' magic worked on me. After all, it was only a baby who looked more like a cotton candy. What! I was hungry too!
And, then I realised, love at first sight do happen. I so badly wanted to hold him but damn the stitches! And, there was already a long queue (yeah, right!) to hold him and my number was yet to come. And, when it finally did come, all he did was open his eyes for a second, stared at me and passed a yawn as if I bored him.
P.S. This is how, in short, Joy arrived in my life.
P.P.S. This is a very small summary of what happened in nine months of my pregnancy and I have no idea if this makes sense or not to whoever is reading (ofcourse!). But I wanted it to document it here before everything was erased from my pea sized brain. I have written it in my diary too but these days, Joys takes away my books and diary saying, its his! I guess, I will have to either keep the diary in my bank locker or in some secret place before someone reaches it! *gulp*
P.P.P.S Don't ask me about the smartness behind the title of the post! I am not smart, remember na!
P.P.P.P.S. I asked you not to ask me about the title of this post because PIC asked me and I thought you guys (whoever is reading) would also ask. So!

Well, I've been waiting for this. Ever since seeing it featured on an educational tv special about beer, I have been waiting. For like, months. I had to go to a few places to find it, and felt immense satisfaction at buying it. I held onto it for a few weeks, but this past weekend it was time to try it.
First: the history. "Theobroma" = "food of the gods"
The creative and unique Dogfish Head Brewery created this beer after analyzing traces of chemicals on Aztec pottery dated to 1200 BC. Who knows how close it is to the actual old school beverages of our ancient Aztecian friends, but it is inspired by this, using Aztec cocoa, honey, chile, and annatto ("fragrant tree seeds.")
It is available only in a 750 ml bottle. I poured it into a wine glass, not sure what the closest thing I have is to 1200 BC pottery.
Appearance: A pretty peach color. Tiny bubbles of white head did not last at all, and it left no lacing. It was slightly hazy; almost like an orange-ish colored apple juice.
Smell: I have a cold, but even without this, I do not think the smell is strong. The first smell was chile, which I got upon opening the bottle. Mild and sweet. Perhaps faint cocoa.
Taste: Interesting. Very interesting. Started out sweet, but the spices (chile and "annatto" I suppose) came out. To me there was cinnamon. Maltiness; an overall sweetness but I'm not sure if I would have pinpointed this to honey and cocoa without reading the bottle first. The spice of the chile is not overbearing but present; I can feel it in my stomach. As it warmed, the spices became more dominant.
Overall, this was decent. A very unique beverage, made more interesting because of the historical inspiration behind it. Truly "off-centered" as Dogfish Head's motto proclaims. Very flavorful, but not overpowering since it has both spice and sweetness. One glass took me a good hour and a half to sip on and is plenty with 9%ABV.
The next night I enjoyed another glass with a most delicious mustard-glazed cranberry-topped salmon with goat cheese and spinach-risotto (Holla!) It was all delicious, but a million different strong flavors happening. I will not be going out of my way to try Theobroma again, but I'm very glad I got the chance to try it. I did enjoy it, but it's not for everybody.

We are actively opposing the application at Bage Court Farm for all the reasons listed on the facts page and because we believe it will harm the community in general and the surrounding neighbourhood in particular.
If these sheds receive planning permission, we know that many more units will follow right through the area. Do we want to live among industrial units and power generators? They will ruin the Golden Valley and threaten the very things that sustain the tourist industry, our countryside and rivers.
Siting these units at Bage Court will mean that profit for one family will be made at a direct cost to their neighbours and the community. There are plenty of suitable alternative locations, such as along the M50 corridor or on brownfield sites, where there would be no immediate impact on neighbours and no loss of valuable agricultural land.

Being diagnosed with arthritis is tough, but the main challenge come when you try to get your friends to understand your arthritis. In an interview with the Arthritis Foundation, Mark Lumley, PhD, professor and director of clinical psychology training at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, offers the following tips: Continue reading
For the first time ever, researchers have joined together to call for better screening of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) – a type of arthritis that affects millions of people worldwide.
In a recent Psoriatic Arthritis Forum, researchers, from expert rheumatologists to dermatologists to patient representatives in Europe and North America, have made some recommendations for the treatment and diagnosis of PsA. The recommendations were published in the journal Arthritis Care and Research. According to an article on www.Medicalexpress.com, the recommendations include:
Arthritis affects 1 in 5 British Columbia residents, so healthcare to treat the more than 100 different types of the disease is extremely important to the more than 600,000 British Columbians living with the disease. Any party that wishes to become government needs to consider these constituents. To help the parties understand this, Arthritis Consumer Experts (ACE) sent a questionnaire to the candidates of the BC Liberal Party and the New Democratic Party.
Leading in with background information about the high number of people who undergo joint replacement surgeries due to arthritis, the questionnaire asked the following: Continue reading
Participate in an anonymous global survey about rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to have your voice heard.
An international research company is doing a short survey to gather information from people living with RA around the world. The survey results will help to increase global awareness about the impact of the disease and to empower those living with RA to better manage the disease.
The goals of the survey are to learn how people living with RA are:
- Affected physically, emotionally, socially, and at work
- Getting their information about the disease and how much they trust that information
- Managing and understanding their disease
- Establishing relationships with and getting support from those around them, such as doctors, nurses, friends, family, and employers
All participants answers will be combined and the overall results will be shared with the larger RA community, including patients from all over the world, healthcare providers, and patient advocacy groups.
All responses are anonymous.
To help create a better understanding of RA, it's time to let your voice be heard—take the survey here. The survey will be open until April 11, 2013.
What is "RA: Join the Fight"?
RA: Join the Fight is a global campaign developed by AbbVie Inc. to raise awareness about how rheumatoid arthritis affects those who live with it. Rheumatoid arthritis is an under-recognized autoimmune disease that occurs in roughly 0.5 to 1.0 % of the population. To better understand and relay the physical and emotional impact of the disease and needs of people living with RA, an anonymous global survey is being conducted in 42 countries around the world. Information from the survey will be used by AbbVie to design better tools to educate patients, family members, and caregivers about RA. To learn more about the background, please see: www.RAJointheFight.com.

Juvenile dermatomyositis (JDMS) is an inflammatory autoimmune disease affecting approximately three in one million children.
Autoimmune diseases generally occur when the body's immune system begins to malfunction and attack healthy tissue in various parts of the body, causing inflammation and damage. In dermatomyositis, muscle and skin are attacked by inflammation, but the joints, lungs, heart, and intestinal tract can also be affected.

Fibromyalgia causes symptoms such as pain and tenderness, fatigue, and sleep and memory problems. It is a condition characterized primarily by chronic widespread pain (CWP) in the muscles, ligaments and tendons, and a heightened sensitivity to touch resulting in pain that can last for months.
A recent study done by the Mayo Clinic looked at how often people, especially men, were not diagnosed with fibromyalgia when they should have been. The results showed that an estimated 6.4 percent of people aged 21 and older had fibromyalgia but only 1.1 percent of them had been diagnosed. The study found that 20 times more men had symptoms of the condition than had been diagnosed. While for women it was three times. Therefore, fibromyalgia rates may be higher overall than thought, especially among men.

FIFA World Cup 2018 quarter-finals in review
Monday, 2018-07-09 07:59:06
NDO - The last four of the 2018 FIFA World Cup semi-finals have been confirmed following the series of quarter-final matches over the past two days. With Brazil and Uruguay both eliminated, the semi-finals of this year's World Cup will be an internal competition of European football. In addition, hosts Russia cannot continue their miraculous journey at the tournament after their defeat in the penalty shootout to Croatia.
The match between Russia and Croatia witnessed tension until the end of extra time. Underdogs Russia unexpectedly opened the scoring thanks to Denis Cheryshev's superb strike in the 31st minute. (Photo: Reuters)
However, Croatia also proved to be a great team as they quickly found the equaliser several minutes later, thanks to Andrej Kramaric's header. (Photo: Reuters)
Russia fought bravely against the relentless attacks from the Croatian side in the second half, forcing the game into extra time after a 1-1 draw in 90 minutes. In the 101st minute, Domagoj Vida suddenly sent Croatia into a 2-1 lead. (Photo: Reuters)
The dramatic rollercoaster didn't end there. After a lot of chances, Russia made it 2-2 with just five minutes to go, thanks to the header from defender Mario Fernandes. (Photo: Reuters)
But Fernandes turned from hero to villian as he missed his penalty in the following shoot-out, sending Russia to a 3-4 defeat on penalties. (Photo: Reuters)
Earlier, England earned a 2-0 victory over Sweden to put their name into the semi-finals. The Three Lions scored the opening goal from a corner, thanks to the brave header of defender Harry Maguire. (Photo: FIFA)
In the second half, England remained the dominant team and added another goal scored by Dele Alli, also with a header. (Photo: Reuters)
However, goalkeeper Jordan Pickford was the new hero for England in the match making at least three saves to deny Sweden's efforts, thus preserving the victory for his team. (Photo: Reuters)
England fans celebrate their home team's victory. This is the first time in nearly three decades that England has reached the semi-finals at the World Cup. (Photo: Action Images)
In the first quarter-final match, France beat South American side Uruguay 2-0 to be the first team to qualify for the semi-finals. Center-back Raphael Varane scored the opening goal for Les Bleus in the 40th minute. (Photo: Reuters)
The French defensive line also performed brilliantly, with an excellent goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. In this photo, the French keeper made a save from Uruguay's Martin Caceres shot at goal. (Photo: Getty Images)
Against Lloris's excellent performance, on the opposite side, his colleague Fernando Muslera had a day to forget. Uruguay's goalkeeper fumbled the ball into his net as Antoine Griezmann scored the second goal for France. (Photo: Getty Images)
After Uruguay's defeat, the remaining representatives of South American football in the tournament, Brazil, also suffered the same fate. They started well against Belgium, but Fernandinho's own goal in the 13th minute signaled a bad day for the Selecao. (Photo: Getty Images)
In the 31st, the score was 2-0 in favour of Belgium thanks to midfielder Kevin De Bruyne's strike. (Photo: Reuters)
In the second half, impatience influenced the accuracy of the Brazilian players' finishes. All the efforts by the yellow shirted team only helped them to narrow the score to 1-2 from Renato Augusto's header in the 76th minute. (Photo: Getty Images)
Losing 1-2, Neymar and his teammates bid farewell to the 2018 World Cup. (Photo: Reuters)
A distraught Brazilian fan after the match. From now on, the 2018 World Cup will be "clean" of South American representatives. The biggest football tournament is now just an internal story of European football. (Photo: Reuters)

Speak of the good days
And all the good times
Time marches on.
Drink the fine vine.
Lift up your cup, be drunk!
The grape was a good year.
Drink long and deeply sample.
The grand year is nearly drank.
Reminisce good times
Over our good wines.
All the good times, if they were,
They are less dead.
The good times are memories
In the drinking of elder men,
As if they exist.
Exactly as if they were.

- PORT ARANSAS -An oil rig arrived earlier this week in Port Aransas, to the displeasure and excitement of those who live in the small island community. The sight of a rig heading out to the Gulf or back towards land for work is a normal, but not one that's parked so close to town. The West Sirius isn't needed for production right now, so the rig owned by Seadrill Partners will remain in storage on Harbor Island, just down the way from the Port Aransas ferries. Port Aransas Mayor Keith McMullin says the rig is within zoning parameters for that area of town. However, a member of the neighborhood association is concerned about how long it will be on place. Douglas Daniel told KRIS 6 News he's heard the rig could be in place for two years as the owner waits for a new place to drill in the Gulf of Mexico. He's also concerned more rigs could be moved to the storage site. Residents we spoke with were not so concerned. They commented how all the lights are a new sight for visitors and how unusual it is to get an up-close look at the production vessel. Doug Wessels summed his view up pretty well, "If you don't like looking at it, just turn your head." The reality is the crews working to deactivate the rig bit-by-bit, plus the possibility of more coming, is a bad sign. Lower oil prices continue driving production and exploration companies to lay off employees.
How big are these platforms?
They're enormous. The BP oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico that exploded April 20 was 400 feet by 250 feet—roughly the size of two football fields—with a crew of 130. Some rigs are even larger. In fact, many of today's oil platforms are essentially floating cities that employ and house hundreds of people. Massive production facilities sit atop undersea towers that descend more than a mile to the seabed, and they can drill up to 30,000 feet, or about six miles, into the earth's crust. Rigs are equipped with cafeterias, lounges with pool tables, and even mini movie theaters. Crew members stay on the rigs for two weeks at a time, working 12-hour shifts. These roughnecks and roustabouts, as oil workers are known, earn at least $50,000 a year, in return for a grueling existence in a world of heaving waves, hot metal, reeking chemicals, cramped sleeping quarters, and a blazing-hot sun. Fires and accidents are a constant danger.
OH, AND THE COST? The largest in the Gulf of Mexico is worth $3 BILLION!!! Just imagine the insurance premiums for transporting these that will be idle until needed again. Whoa.
As Paul Harvey once said: "Now you have the rest of the story!"

- Historically, the largest flights of hawks arrive at Corpus Christi, Texas between September 18 to September 30, although large flights regularly occur from mid-August to mid-October. Generally, the peak of the Mississippi kite (Ictinia mississippiensis) migration is in late August, followed by broadwinged hawks during the last two weeks in September and smaller numbers of Swainson's hawks (Buteo swainsoni) in early October. Flocks of Mississippi kites, anhingas (Anhinga anhinga), and wood storks (Mycteria americana) are often seen in the midst of the broadwinged hawk kettles. Weather in the northern and eastern United States is a big factor in determining the actual dates of the flights.

Dave's Rating:
Hakuna Macaque
It doesn't matter what species of animal it is or where it lives, Disneynature will locate it, assign its members cute human names, set up a documentary crew to carefully spy on them, and organize a narrative based on the footage. As temporary unskilled labor contracting with Disneynature, the animals' job description is to behave in any manner they please, while keeping in mind that only specifically approved activities will be considered camera-ready.
Praise Monkey Kingdom's camera-lugging crew, then, for another job well done capturing those signature moments with the latest batch of wild employees. After the somewhat harrowing African Cats, and the weirdly corny Bears, Monkey Kingdom finally balances the formula. There's less killing and less cuteness all around. In fact, save for a silly introduction featuring the "Theme from The Monkees," these Sri Lankan macaque monkeys barely need the low-key anthropomorphic treatment they get here. That's because they're already fairly adept at behaving like status-obsessed, self-centered human beings.
This particular collection of monkeys lives among ancient ruins, occasionally entering the nearby town to go on food raids for novelties like cookies and cake. (The excursion we see involves a children's birthday party where the kids happen to be drinking from Disney Winnie The Pooh cups, just to make sure corporate branding is never allowed to rest).
The monkeys also run and jump, hug and kiss, annoy an adjacent mongoose that hates them, and play with a local dog that loves them. To prove that it's not all fun and games, they also engage in territory battle with a rival monkey crew, and spend at least part of their time trying not to die when a nearby monitor lizard shows up for dinner.
Because the aesthetic ambition and story model for this type of thing was set in stone a long time ago -- think reasonably serene visit to the zoo -- the film's main agenda is the depiction of sweetness and love between a mother monkey and her child. This mom and baby team live within a fairly strict caste-based community, so their cuddliness is never fully allowed to eclipse the reality that these creatures are driven not by ethical considerations, but by an accumulation of evolutionary traits. Their behavior is neither good nor bad, it just is.
Though only briefly glimpsed in this otherwise safe-for-little-ones adventure, it becomes clear that the monkeys will happily eat other species and sometimes kill their own when the fight is on. They also physically bully monkeys within their own circle if they don't like them, and are more than willing to engage in casual cruelty for the sake of keeping the pecking order in place and preserving their habitat. That this sort of thing is downplayed as much as possible -- Tina Fey's warm narration helps -- is a function of keeping children in seats. Better that than a theater full of little kids fleeing in tears when monkey-on-monkey violence is imminent.
If the purpose of these films is to get young people to consider worlds outside their own, to respect the other species that share the planet, it succeeds, usually gently, and that's good. And if fake-humanizing some simians is what's required to make that happen, then that's just life in the movie jungle. If harsher children's filmmaking is what you're after, there's always Bambi.

Don Henley Pays Tribute To Jackson Browne On 'These Days' (Song Premiere)
Jackson Browne grew from songwriter-for-hire to one of America's signature performers in the 1970s to an enduring influence on subsequent generations of musicians. The scope of musicians the "Running on Empty" writer has inspired starts to become clear on "Looking Into You: A Tribute to Jackson Browne," a two-CD homage featuring versions of Browne's songs by artists including Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa, Lyle Lovett, Lucinda Williams, Bonnie Raitt and the Indigo Girls. The compilation also features Don Henley and Blind Pilot on "These Days," which premieres today on Speakeasy.
The song is a great example of Browne's versatility: he wrote the tune as a teenager, and Velvet Underground collaborator Nico first recorded it in 1967 for her album "Chelsea Girls." Gregg Allman cut a version on his 1973 solo album "Laid Back," the same year that Browne's own take on the song appeared on his second album, "For Everyman."
"It is astounding to think that Jackson wrote 'These Days' when he was only 16 years old," Henley said. "But then, he was always a step ahead of the rest of us. I've learned a lot from him, over the years, and am honored to be part of this album."
Listen to "These Days" and see the complete track listing.

Roy Nachum's current body of work is entitled Open Your Eyes, which continues to explore Nachum's signature themes of perception and vision, consists of paintings and an installation and is divided into four parts, Parallel Realities, Color Blind, Invisible Mirrors and Sea of Crowns.
Parallel Realities is a series of paintings exploring the subtle play of illusion and reality. In some of the paintings a precisely painted animal appears along with an emotional yet ambiguous human. The demeanor of the animals seems to resonate with the emotional core of the people with whom they are paired, suggesting the commonality, universality and complexity of emotion. In other paintings the subjects are seen in multiple poses, as in a photographic double exposure, indicating their variable and sequential emotional states and the complexities of their characters. As in Nachum's earlier works, the paintings are made on a ground that is subtly inscribed with a poetic text in Braille written by the artist. Over-painted color fields interact with the human and animal figures and the Braille, bringing a dreamlike and interactive depth to the visual plane.
Color Blind is a series of circular canvases based on the Ishihara Color Vision Test, which is used to diagnose color blindness. In each the image is formed by a field of colored circles that function as "pixels",
and in each a Braille message is written as a circle within the circle. To a colorblind viewer these images would be visible but relatively hidden, demonstrating that human perception is variable and considerably subjective.

We are showcasing the "La Vie En Rose" collection, the papers are just beautiful and the compliments pack will add lovely embellishments to any project.
My niece had a baby girl in August 2014 and I am embarrassed to say I have only just scrapped these photos. Isn't she a beautiful baby, she is my mum's 16th great grandchild. Her big sister was very happy to show her off. It was a labour of love to do this layout. I used layout 10 from Volume 2 of the "Make it from Your Heart" book as my inspiration. The Cricut cut outs are from the Artbooking cartridge and the stamped images are from the Stamp of the Month December 2013 "Special Care"
This second project is a Joy Fold Card and you can find instructions here to make the card. This card will fit into a standard 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" envelope. I used the January Stamp of the Month Beloved Bouquet S1601 as it perfect with the La Vie En Rose papers. I stamped the rose 3 times using Pixie Ink Z2644 on Pixie Cardstock, then layered them after cutting two of the roses slightly smaller. This gives the rose the 3D effect. Topiary Ink Z2155 was used for the leaves. 3D Foam Tape Z2060 was used to adhere each layer of the rose and then adhere the rose and leaves to the front of the card. The stamp set Holiday Tag Occasions D1560 was used for the sentiment.
All products used in these projects can be purchased from my CTMH online shop here.
Thanks for joining our Blog Hop, to continue go to Lauren Moore's blog and see what lovely project she has created. If you like what you see please leave a comment, we do appreciate your comments.

On the 301st day of the great Flood, Noah sent a dove for the 2nd time from the ark (see "Today in Jewish History" for Elul 17). This time, the dove stayed away all day; "the dove came in to him in the evening, and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off; and Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth" (Genesis 8:11).
On a sunny fall morning, Islamic terrorists hijacked four commercial passenger airplanes. Two were crashed into the Twin Towers in lower Manhattan. A third was rammed into the Pentagon, the Washington, D.C. headquarters of the United States Department of Defense. The last plane was intended for Washington as well, but crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after its passengers tried to overcome the hijackers. In total, almost 3,000 people died in the attacks, including the 227 civilians and 19 hijackers aboard the four planes. It also was the deadliest incident for firefighters in the history of the United States.
Known as 9/11, the events of the day deeply affected the American approach to security and diplomacy, instigating the global War on Terror.
As the last month of the Jewish year, Elul is traditionaly a time of introspection and stocktaking -- a time to review one's deeds and spiritual progress over the past year and prepare for the upcoming "Days of Awe" of Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur.
As the month of Divine Mercy and Forgiveness (see "Today in Jewish History" for Elul 1) it is a most opportune time for teshuvah ("return" to G-d), prayer, charity, and increased Ahavat Yisrael (love for a fellow Jew) in the quest for self-improvement and coming closer to G-d. Chassidic master Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi likens the month of Elul to a time when "the king is in the field" and, in contrast to when he is in the royal palace, "everyone who so desires is permitted to meet him, and he receives them all with a cheerful countenance and shows a smiling face to them all."
Specific Elul customs include the daily sounding of the shofar (ram's horn) as a call to repentance. The Baal Shem Tov instituted the custom of reciting three additional chapters of Psalms each day, from the 1st of Elul until Yom Kippur (on Yom Kippur the remaining 36 chapters are recited, thereby completing the entire book of Psalms). Click below to view today's Psalms.
Chapter 67 br> Chapter 68 br> Chapter 69
Elul is also the time to have one's tefillin and mezuzot checked by an accredited scribe to ensure that they are in good condition and fit for use.

As thinking human beings, we have an unlimited capacity to find excuses, to discover ingenious and innovative ways to distance the perpetrator from the act.
We can blame it on youth, on old age, on parents, on children, on financial hardships, daily environs, psychological state. We can easily discharge anybody of any responsibility for any negative deeds that stain their hands.
We can all be wonderful advocates and lawyers for one another—and the Merciful One Above surely enjoys hearing such things.
But if you want to get ahead in life, don't be your own lawyer.

Five hundred years. Such a vast expanse of time. Is it really possible for us to think beyond this quarter - or even next weekend?
When I'm puzzling over life's big questions, I find myself drawn to poetry. Poems remind me of what's important and satisfy my need for brevity (soon 140 characters will seem too long!). To whit, US poet laureate Kay Ryan's lean, keenly-observed work (from The Best Of It, Grove Press, 2010):
The bird
walks down
the beach along
the glazed edge
the last wave
reached. His
each step makes
a perfect stamp -
smallish, but as
sharp as an
emperor's chop.
Stride, stride,
goes the emperor
down his wide
mirrored promenade
the sea bows
to repolish.
This poem was running through my head when I sat down to interview Joel Solomon. Joel has been making his mark on Canada's west coast for decades, quietly, methodically, and not at all emperor-like. His work as President and CEO of Renewal Partners - a Vancouver-based organization that provides investments and grants for social change - is coming together in the most interesting way. This the first part of an edited version of two long conversations.
Julia Moulden: I want to talk about your work, of course, but let's begin with how someone from Chattanooga, Tennessee ended up on Canada's west coast.
Joel Solomon: I grew up in a liberal, Jewish, Democratic-party-involved family. For instance, my parents were early supporters of civil rights. My dad was a successful businessman building shopping malls, and, as a young man there was considerable pressure on me to follow in his footsteps. My out was to get involved in politics, which was acceptable to my parents. I worked on Al Gore Senior's campaign, then with Jimmy Carter, as national youth co-coordinator for Carter's run for the White House - an experience we've just seen replayed with Obama's young team. By the time Carter got to Washington, I'd decided that I was too young to choose a career path, and needed time to think about what I wanted to do. I walked away. Not long after, I was diagnosed with the genetic kidney disease that runs in my family. That was the big trigger point - I had no idea if I would die tomorrow or live a long life, but I knew I had to find my own path.
JM: So, what did you do?
JS: I went traveling and ended up on the west coast of Canada, in British Columbia. Got a job working with a guy who had an orca research lab. So, there I was, all alone in the wilderness.
JM: Pretty much the opposite of a political campaign. Where did your self-imposed exile lead you?
JS: This is the condensed version, of course, but I read a lot, dug deep and came to a couple of big conclusions for my young self. That I wasn't going to care about what other people thought, but do what mattered most to me. And that I wanted to find a way to make a difference. In my head, I was thinking, "OK, here's the legacy you have, your natural skills and your passions. How can you turn that into something useful?"
JM: Great, so you've had your wake-up call and your a-ha moment. Now what?
JS: I started to wonder if I couldn't re-embrace business (he laughs). Business had been, in many ways, this destructive force, even though many people in business didn't want it to be. Maybe there was a way to see it as a neutral force, and then to use it do something good.
JM: Pretty radical thinking for the 70s when we were all hippies.
JS: Yes, but you could see signs of this kind of thinking starting to pop up. At the same time, I got involved with the Threshold Foundation, a group of mostly inheritor philanthropists who were struggling with what it meant to have money and what they should do with it. Some of these folks spun off and started Social Venture Network, looking at how business might be for the good of the community as well as making money. The late 70s and early 80s were an amazing time, with all kinds of new organizations springing up, like what Ben Cohen [Ben and Jerry's] and Anita Roddick [The Body Shop] were doing.
JM: Did you think you might join one of these companies?
JS: Yes. And then I met Carol Newell. She was a new member of the Threshold Foundation. I was president of the organization by then, and when I saw her application and that she was from BC, immediately offered to interview her. And that was the beginning of a 17-year partnership.
JM: How did you decide to work together?
JS: It seemed so natural at the time. Looking back, it was one of those once-in-a-lifetime things. We met on this little island off the coast, pulled together a visioning session for others in the Vancouver area who were thinking similar thoughts and asking themselves the same questions about how they might use their lives in a positive way. And we just talked and talked and talked. It happened that we were meeting on the 500th anniversary of Columbus' discovery, and so it occurred to us to think about what had gone wrong in the last five centuries and what we could possibly do that would have a positive impact on the next 500 years.
JM: Wow, 500 years.
JS: Yes, we realized it was pretty ambitious (he laughs). And that maybe we needed to be thinking in terms of 50 years, too, the average working life.
JM: And how did this perspective shape what you set out to do?
JS: A 50-year timeline frees you. We found that we could think outside of all kinds of boxes and believe the impossible. And it was a good fit for someone who was living with the thought that death was nearby. We decided on a 500-year vision and a 50-year strategy. We gathered a team, created a model, and began to work in a way that we hoped would have an impact on the region and create a ripple effect.
My conversation with Joel continues next week. Learn about what he's been doing, how you can plug in, and where it goes from here. In the meantime, please share your story with us. How did you get started on a path for good? How did you become a New Radical (New Radicals are people who've found ways to put the skills acquired in their careers to work on the world's greatest challenges - for more, please see archived articles)? Whose work inspires you? And are you thinking long-term?
Julia Moulden is talking about the New Radicals. Her new book - on boomers and meaningful work - will appear in 2011. Check out a feature article about Julia on tempotoronto.ca (a terrific new website for women 50-plus).

Two Way Diamond
Finding used copies of the still-a-fortnight-away-from-being-released new Postal Service The District Sleeps Alone Tonight EP (can you expect to see the cover of The Flaming Lips' "Suddenly Everything Has Changed" soon? Magic 8-ball says 'probably') and the Future Bible Heroes' Eternal Youth makes me happy. Finally getting my Benjamin Gibbard & Andrew Kenny album in the mail also helped. AmAnSet show tonight! It's sold out, I'm very surprised by that. I have underestimated their popularity in these parts.
You know you have too many CDs when… I just discovered I own a copy of The Magnetic Fields' Holiday. I had no idea. I don't remember buying this. Oh wait, it was Boxing Day last year. That's right. But still, I had completely forgotten. Sheesh.
Artwork on the Postal Service EPs is done by art team Kozyndan. Their stuff is terrific, go look.
An excellently scathing article about the lack of cajones in the US media during the Iraq War.

As 2016 dawned, back in January, I had no inkling what it held in store for me. I'm glad I didn't know because much of the beauty of this year would have been marred by my preoccupation with the drama to unfold as the year wound down. It's been one of "those" years.
In January, we adopted Lance, our newest fur baby. A terrified little guy, he had clearly been mistreated, and we didn't know if he could ever come to trust us. Since then, and with many hours of Chuck's patience, he has bonded to us and his sister, Rosie. He's a different animal than the frightened, nippy little guy we brought home. Getting him was one the bests of 2016.
We spent many days out in the motor home this summer, everywhere from Glacier National Park to Tongue River Reservoir and places in between. I hiked nearly every week of the summer, and floated around in my kayak with June and Julie one great weekend (thanks to my friend, Corrie, for the loaner). My soul soaked in the outdoor love. That was one of the bests of 2016, too.
Professionally, I've been at the top of my game this fall. I'm working with some fabulous students, some who not only meet the bar but exceed it by a stretch. It's been fun and rewarding. I'm advising a couple new clubs that are really showing promise in the way of leadership from some amazing, motivated students. I sit back and marvel that all I have to do is advise and watch. I'm collaborating with other teachers and working on some exciting, new challenges in terms of projects for students, real-world kind of stuff. This continues to be one of the bests of 2016.
However, as is the nature of the yin and yang, 2016 has been brutally painful. It began in October when a student named Joe, who was in my Creative Writing class, lost his life in a lake due to a car accident. He was a beautiful soul, a real writer, a promising student leader and an important reason why, just the day before he died, our class was able to put together Helena College's first-ever poetry slam. We took it hard; the day we returned to class after his death was little more than tears and processing for all of us, and even now, I tear up when I remember Joe. That was one of the worsts.
It got even worse, however, when on October 31st, my dad died very unexpectedly. So many times over the years he had close calls, hospital stays, surgeries, everything, and each time, we were prepared for the possibility, but when it finally came for him, it was quick and unexpected, a punch in the gut. I did not at all enjoy being on the receiving end of people's sympathies—though I did very much appreciate them—and I think I did not handle myself very well. To those whom I may have come off as abrupt or testy, I apologize. I'm good at some things, but that is not one of them. Today, I count it a good day if I can remember Dad without getting teary; that was definitely the worst.
It wasn't the only loss I experienced this year, however. After almost 24 years, Chuck and I have decided to divorce. Anyone who's ever been married or in a long-term relationship understands that it takes two to tango, or not. I own my failings at being a partner, but we have some very good memories from during those 24 years, including successfully operating our business for 18 of those years, living in the Shields Valley, where we still count good friends, and raising Adam together. Adam is truly as much Chuck's as he is mine, and I will forever owe Chuck my deepest gratitude for being such a fine father to him. I could never repay that. This is the worst.
I am ready to be done with 2016. I will welcome 2017 with hope and enthusiasm that it will be more of the bests and fewer of the worsts, and I thank you, my friends, for your support and love.

Picture Slideshows
Columbia County WI, We Energies Project (31)These photos were taken by Jim Bembinster in the fall of 2011. They show the fragmentation of farm fields by access roads to turbines which don't follow fence lines, trenching for power lines. What they don't show is the severe soil compaction from heavy machinery.

The Wedding Event with a Difference is finally here!
I started setting up my stand yesterday (with the help of Mr B!) and The Roundhouse was looking fantastic. Everywhere was a hive of activity and the stands that were set or setting up looked amazing! This certainly won't be your average wedding fair and I can't wait to meet all of the visitors and other exhibitors.
The event starts at 10am and there will be 3 fashion shows throughout the day. The event has been set up with the visitors in mind, there are various sections relating to wedding services with many stands providing interactive elements!
There is also a refreshment area alongside the 'creative corner' (that's where I'll be!) so come and have a cuppa followed by a chat with some fantastic handcrafted suppliers!
I'll try to remember to take some photos and share them on the blog next week!

Old code and survivor bias
If code is well designed, decoupled and has good test coverage there are chances that it will be regularly updated to new technologies and new programming techniques. The other code will probably scare programmers and have much chance to stay in it's sad state until decommission.

(Via Hot Air) Apparently there's some suggestion that it's relatively less likely to happen – at least, as compared to Valentine's Day. The article speculates that it might be because of a cultural subconscious desire not to have a kid on a holiday associated with ghosts and witches and spirits and whatnot. I'm not sure why – the only thing that I remember about kids born on Halloween is that they're supposed to have Second Sight, which would be kind of handy to have on general principles, and a marketable skill to boot. Mind you, I'm probably not the best person to assess that sort of thing, being a weird nerd and suchlike.
As to whether or not women can control their going into labor… I dunno, ask my wife. She scheduled the birth of my youngest around Thanksgiving dinner; at least, that's what it felt like.

Troy Gasholder House (1115 5th Ave. Troy NY)
March 3, 2010 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
(Blizzard-check date of Thursday March 4th at 7PM)
Overflow will be making use of the unique and fascinating acoustics of the historic Troy Gasholder House. When live interactive visuals are used in a musical performance, they can take the role as subservient interpreter of the music, as master conductor of the overall action, or as an equal contributor to the overall experience. Utilizing multiple projectors, and a wide range of instruments, the show will consist of five pieces that explore the various relationships between music and live interactive visuals. The show will be making full use of the Gasholder's ability to sustain and distort sounds, both temporally and spatially. Additionally, creative projection techniques will be used to explore and distort the physical space of the building. The pieces are meant to interact with the overall feeling of the space, as both a lonely, empty void, as well as a place of tremendous energy, meant to be celebrated.
IMPORTANT: Bring a flashlight. Audience participation is essential for the finale.
Also: Dress as warmly as possible. The Gasholder is not a heated building. An attempt to heat the space on the day of will be made, but it will possibly be 30-40 degrees for the duration of the performance. Tea and cider will be provided to help with warmth. A bathroom will also be provided.
The floor is also unfinished and is covered with a fine chalky dirt. Tarps will be laid out on the audience area, but please don't wear your "sunday best" as it were, nice shoes are to be avoided as well.
Show duration: Approximately 1 hour
Performing musicians: Lisa Rogers, Will Rogers, Jesse French, Ryan Jenkins, Kyle McDonald, David Rhoderick, Caitlin Morris, Jason Rankins

I hate when you're disappointed in yourself and people tell you that it's okay because it's not. It's not okay because everyday you have to wake up from this perfect world of your dreams and you realize that you're still the same person. You're still just as flawed and imperfect as before and you have to deal with that. You're going to quit trying to do the things you can't do because that's what you've always done. It's definitely not okay, but that can change if you put your mind to it. There may be a voice in your head discouraging you, telling you that you can't make a difference in the world even though that's the only goal you've ever had, but you can prove that voice wrong. Then you can tell that voice to go bother someone else because you know your worth. You may be imperfect, but imperfection is beautiful. Why try to be perfect when you can be yourself and still be amazing? If you want to change, change for the better, but don't lose yourself because nothing is as bad as losing the person that you are. You might reach a point where you're drowning and you've almost given up, but don't lose hope and don't lose sight of the things that make you a beautiful human being. Appreciate the good things about you and accept your flaws because without them, you wouldn't be human. Embrace imperfection.

Former Member Of Liberty City Seven Charged In Federal Court For Drug Distribution
Fort Myers, Florida - Acting United States Attorney A. Lee Bentley, III announces the arrest of Burson J. Augustin (29, Fort Myers) for distribution of cocaine. If convicted, Augustin faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison and a fine of up to $1million. Augustin was charged by criminal complaint on August 15, 2013.
According to the complaint, on August 7, 2013, Augustin sold approximately 29 grams of cocaine to a confidential informant working with the Lee County Sheriff's Office for $1,200. The complaint also states that Augustin was previously arrested as a member of the Liberty City Seven, in 2006, for conspiracy and providing material support to terrorism related to a plot to blow up the Sears Tower in Chicago. For that offense, he was convicted and sentenced to six years in federal prison, followed by ten years of supervised release. At the time of this offense, Augustin was on supervised release. He was released from prison on September 21, 2012. A criminal complaint is merely a formal charge that a defendant has committed a violation of the federal criminal laws, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless, and until, proven guilty.
This case was investigated by the Lee County Sheriff's Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It will be prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Jeffrey F. Michelland.
