Along Highway 16 in Pottawatomie County, Kansas
March 6, 2018
February and early March have been consumed by my work as Board Chair of PDX Jazz (Portland, Oregon), the presenting organization of the PDX Jazz Festival, which this year took place Feb. 15 – 25. Immediately following the Festival, I spent some time out on the road with a dear friend, exploring the clubs and museums of Kansas City and the surrounding prairie. Some highlights of the Festival events and travels follow…
Soon to be back in the swing of things!
Snow fell during much of Festival week…This is SW Broadway in downtown Portland on February 20, outside one of the Festival venues
This year's Festival included performances by the likes of Abdullah Ibrahim, Kurt Elling, Luciana Souza, David Sanchez, Julian Lage, Bill Frisell, Regina Carter, Tigran Hamasyan, Lisa Fischer, Richie Cole, Esperanza Spalding (with Ravi Coltrane and Terri Lynne Carrington), Marcus Roberts, Russell Malone, Ethan Iverson, George Colligan, Dr. Lonnie Smith, the Miles (Davis) Electric Band, and an ensemble called "Jazz By 5," featuring Randy Brecker, Joanne Brackeen, Eddie Gomez, Jimmy Cobb and Javon Jackson. Portland's talented local jazz musicians were also a major part of the Festival lineup. It was a fascinating 10 days – challenged by three days of snow in the midst of the calendar — that showcased the music's diversity in a variety of venues, and amid Portland's unique culture.
Abdullah Ibrahim's performance was a highlight of this year's festival…You can read a review of the Festival by clicking here and here.
One of the perks of the "job" is getting to meet some of the artists, including Mr. Ibrahim, who I escorted around town for a couple of days.
Part of the PDX Jazz organizational mission is to inspire a new generation of jazz fans, and the "Jazz in the Schools" program connects Portland area students to the music via the great album artwork of the LP era. Students create their own album art by interpreting the music while listening to it. 2,000 students participated in the program this year, and 250 of the exceptional designs were displayed during an exhibition in the Portland Art Museum on February 13.
Hundreds of students enjoyed a day at the Museum…
150 judges chose their favorite pieces…
…culminating in the grand prize winning art by 7th grader Edith Crever of Ockley Green Middle School becoming the commemorative poster of this year's Festival
The entire collection of art that was displayed in the Art Museum is currently in the window of City Target in downtown Portland. The poster-sized art in this picture is grand prize winning designs created by high school students
Middle school winners
Another education initiative is "The Incredible Journey of Jazz," where students learn about jazz from its beginnings in Africa, its development in the United States, and its current role in world culture. The 60 minute live performance includes narration, classic photographs, and a septet performing music by the likes of Scott Joplin, Armstrong, Ellington, Bird, Dizzy, and Miles…This year two shows were performed in front of 5,000 students at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall
PDX Jazz education outreach programs reached 10,000 students during the 2017-2018 school year
Following the Festival I met a buddy in Kansas City
We visited the Jazz Museum in the 18th and Vine district — a worthwhile visit for anyone with an interest in the music and culture of jazz
Part of the Museum's exhibit devoted to Louis Armstrong
Much of the Museum honors the contributions of native son Charlie Parker
The space is shared with the Negro League Baseball Museum, another excellent destination
The legendary Satchel Paige
The 18th and Vine district at Sunset
Taking in a show at the Green Lady Lounge…
…and another next door
Along the back highways of eastern Kansas…the County Courthouse in Ottawa
Near Lone Star Lake along the way to Lawrence
The Jazzhaus in Lawrence, one of many clubs in the vibrant college town
Along Highway 177, Geary County, Kansas
A walk along the Tall Grass Prairie Reserve
"Whatever satisfies the soul is truth."
-Walt Whitman

Updated 2016-05-26: The screenshots and text have been updated to reflect the different terminology Microsoft now uses in the latest build of Windows 10.
Microsoft is expanding the functionality of the Snap feature in Windows 10 with something called Snap Assist. Snap, which was introduced in Windows 7, lets users quickly pin applications or windows to one side or corner of the screen, making it easy, for example, to view two applications side-by-side with no overlapping or tweaking of window sizes and positions.
Snap Assist enhances this process by automatically recommending certain applications or windows to fill the other side of the screen when you snap an application. To visualize this with an example, let's say you have a Web browser, Word document, File Explorer, and the Windows 10 Settings app all open on your Windows 10 desktop. When you snap one of those applications, like Microsoft Word, to the left side of your screen, Windows 10 will show you a layout of your remaining open apps on the right side of the screen. Clicking any one of them will maximize that app and snap it to the right side of the screen. Microsoft argues that Snap Assist lets users save time when using Snap for productivity:
When arranging two windows side-by-side, we noticed in practice that this scenario frequently involved snapping the first window and then spending time wading through other windows on screen to find the second one to drag and snap. This insight lead us to ask: instead of making you hunt for the second window to snap, why not present a list of recently used windows up front? This is the fundamental idea behind Snap Assist in Windows 10.
But what if you don't intend to snap a second application? Or what if you prefer to handle this manually and don't trust Microsoft's ability to "guess" which apps you'd like to use (a problem when dealing with a large number of open apps)? In that case, you can disable Snap Assist in the Windows 10 Settings. Here's how to do it.
To disable Snap Assist in Windows 10, launch the Settings app from your Start Menu, or by searching for it with Cortana or Windows Search. From the Settings window, click System.
In the System Settings window, find and click Multitasking in the column on the left. Under the "Snap" category on the right, find the option labeled When I snap a window, show what I can snap next to it and set it to Off. This will disable Snap Assist in Windows 10.
Once you disable Snap Assist, simply close the Windows 10 Settings window and then try to snap an application or window to one side or corner of your Windows 10 desktop. You'll notice that the app snaps just fine, but the remaining space on your desktop stays the same, without the presence of Snap Assist's recommended apps.
If you find in its absence that Snap Assist was more valuable than you thought, just head back to Settings > System > Multitasking and turn the Snap Assist option identified above back to On.

I managed to make it through the second Chart 1 repeat this weekend despite there not being much time for knitting. There's been some light colour pooling every now and then but I really like the texture that it gives to the piece. I've never knit with pure silk before and am loving the feel of it as it runs through my fingers.
When I first decided to do Project Spectrum, I wasn't sure that I would be able to come up with anything "metallic" for this month's colour triad. The colour, sheen, and drape of this yarn manages to be an aging bronze without becoming the tinny gold metallic I was envisioning for this colour set.
I'm hoping to finish one pattern repeat per day. This might be a tad unrealistic since my final licensing exam is on Thursday. After that, it's just a hop, skip and month of summer school until I can finally make the jump from law student to student-at-law.

You Don't Need a Man to Push the "Play Button" for Your Life to Begin!
An Article for Singles
By Sheri Rose Shepherd
Bestselling Author and Bible Life Coach
I have been married twenty-five years, and my husband and I joke that it has been seven of the best years of our lives. Why is it that we spend so much time searching for someone to share life with, and so many times the dream of wanting and wondering becomes better than the reality of the man or the marriage?
I believe when a man walks down the aisle and says "I do," his every hope and intention is that his marriage will be for life. He sincerely desires to understand and take care of the beloved bride he has chosen. He romanced her and worked hard to express his love so she would want to spend the rest of her life with him. He was determined to be her hero and lovingly lead her safely through life. The challenge for a man begins after he makes his wedding vows because, generally, no one has taught him how to accomplish his God-appointed position in a woman's life.
Eventually, a man's attempts at love, leadership, and even heroism may miss their mark, and his beloved bride gradually withdraws emotionally from the very one she hoped would give her happily ever after. Sadly, she often closes up her spirit in order to protect her heart from any more hurt.
The man she longs for ends up feeling frustrated and angry, and he may give up trying. Their love story, which once fostered hopes of intimacy, happiness, and growing old together, withers into isolation, pain, and despair or divorce. I don't believe our desire to find a good man is wrong, and we do have every reason to be cautious. Even in the church it seems that just about every day we hear about another man of faith who has fallen away from his wife, his family, and his moral convictions. Single women tell me about the heartache they experience after years of dating men who seem unwilling to commit.
If you are single, I would love to share with you a "love checklist" to help you avoid pouring your heart into the wrong relationship. I have discovered it is better to be single and satisfied than heartbroken in the wrong relationship. If you are willing to open your heart to some motherly wisdom, please read on . . .
The Love List . . .
Look at the way a man loves his mother because it is the way he will eventually love his wife.
Pay attention to the way he reacts when there is stress or conflict.
Meet his friends and keep in mind that the people he hangs with are a reflection of his heart.
Pay attention to what your good friends see in him, because often those who love you can see better than you can see when you're falling in love.
Look at what he reads and what he watches on television, because they will be a reflection of his moral fiber.
Do your best not to be too physical, because it will cloud your vision and confuse your heart.
It is imperative that a man respect your boundaries without challenging them.
Ask him to pray for you often, because you will need a man who knows how to cover you in prayer.
Ask yourself whether you feel at home when you're with him or whether you act like someone you're not to get him to like you.
Before you say "I do," go through premarital counseling with a pastor.
Let's pray for your future husband. . . .
Dear Lord,
I pray for my future husband, wherever he is in the world right now. Prepare me to become the kind of bride he will need when we come together. Until You make me ready for him, let the only intimate relationship I seek be with You. Blind my eyes from wanting any other man than the one You have for me. Remove all men in my life who may keep me from recognizing him. Give me wisdom to seek what is pure and right in Your sight while I wait for him. Put such a deep passion in my heart for my purpose that I won't be distracted or discouraged from pursuing all that You have for me. Deliver me from the traps of the enemy, and train me now to resist temptation. Keep me from falling into a counterfeit relationship, and give me the strength not to settle for second best. Give me the stamina to run this "singles" race until I cross the finish line and receive his heart—and Your blessing—as the prize. Amen.

Review by: nigel bennettBlue Bird BMS-105HV
I have about a dozen of these excellent little servos. After a years solid use one of them in my Infinity F5J went wrong, jittering and failing to centre. I sent it back to Hyperflight and Neil provided me with a new replacement, with no quibbles. Fantastic service!
Review by: juan jose Boullosa GarciaRenovacion
Usare este servo para mis modelos F5J del 2019, los he visto funcionar a compañeros todo el 2018 y su resultafo ah sido excelente, ganando varias pruebas en España, asi que despues de testearlo en casa todo ok, muy buen peso y fuerza, tamaño excelente , para mi un 10.
Review by: Sandor Denesno
after one year of intensive use, four out of four stopped
Review by: Rafael JiménezVery good at first, very bad at the end
I purchased 7 of these servos here at Hyperflight and installed six of them in my new home-made F5J-FAI glider. I was really satisfied with them at first and thought they were a very good alternative to the more expensive 6100. The servos worked really nice for 8-10 months (4-6 flights per week) but one by one, they began to show
centering failure and became completely useless in a few weeks. It seems that the potentiometers get ruined with time. Finally, I had to substitute all of them. I understand that most of the reviews posted here are very possitive, as the servos work perfect initially, but it would be nice if the same reviewers share their opinions again after several months of use.
Review by: Jean DoraisFantastic servo
I have these BlueBird 105's in all my contest F5J sailplanes (Euphoria x2, Aspire x2) for Rudder/Elevator, and in 3 DLG's (for a total of 20)- plenty of torque, great centering and very smooth. In my opinion, every bit as good as that other 3-letter brand, at a substantial price difference. I have NEVER had an issue with these servos, and have just purchased a couple more for a new project.
Review by: Bruce StevensBlue bird 105 HV servo
I tried switching over to the Blue Birds from MKS due to all the 5 star reviews. Had one servo out of 3 completely malfunction after first hour of use. Static noise is loud as well. I will be going back to MKS and using these blue birds for spoilers only.
Review by: Sasa PecinarBlue bird 105 HV servo
I bought 15 pieces of this servos for my F5J Explorers. One failed directly after delivery and Neil send me replacement. I thought it was bad luck but after few flights they started to fail one by one.. Definitely quality issue. I was lucky that I didn't crashed my expensive planes. I will make complain to Blue Bird directly.
Review by: Steve HannonBlue bird 105 HV servo
I have had 3 of these servos fail on flaps on a light F5J model.
I have had 2 fail directly as supplied from the supplier before installation.
There is clearly a quality control issue with these servos and I will be removing them from all of my models.
Review by: AnonymousBluee Bird 105HV servo
I was going to use a pair of these for the tip s of a scale glider. After fitting them and hard wiring an extension lead 1 of the sevos had a fault where the output arm just went round and round.As I had modified the lead I could not get a refund, Neiloffered me a half price replacement. I declined a direct replacement and instead went for the MKS eqivalent.So not too impressed!
Review by: MiguelI wanted to like these
I have purchased over 20 of these servos and ran them in a sunbird, longshot, ahi, and mini-vector and I fly pretty hard aerobatics and these servos failed in every single airframe. I pulled all the servos out of these airframes and sold my remaining stock. I was told initially that some glue got into the case but I was experiencing failures on elevator on my longshot dlg. My guess is the POTs are really inadequate and with HV they will burn out easily. Sometimes the servos would last only a few hard sessions. I was thinking these would be good substitute for the HV6100 but if you fly hard then they will not last long. No issues at all when I switch to the MKS HV6100.
Review by: Jay DWhat a little powerhouse!
I originally ordered these for a Snipe DLG...so precise, so fast and so small! Loved it. It has since become my go-to servo for rudder/elevator in F5J/ALES competition planes. Absolutely love them. I have 8 of them in operation on my 4 contest ships and I've never had an issue.
Again- these are fantastic servos, fast, precise and about 30% cheaper than those other brand's servos. I highly recommend them! They are also great for wing servos in gliders (with the IDS servo frames that Neil sells.)
Buy with confidence!

Review by: Ian ludwell
Have not installed servos into glider yet.
Satisfactory test with servo tester.
Excellent service and delivery.
No buzzing.
Very pleased
Review by: Gilbertsatisfied customer from Belgium
After a few days, the Bluebird BMS 105 hv. servo supplied. There was a servo that kept running around, but the servo cable was already removed by me, to make it easier to install in the wings so the guarantee was canceled and could not be exchanged. I received a 50% discount on a purchase of a new servo, which I did. Again after a few days this was delivered, which is an excellent service.
I have not yet been able to test the servos in practice, but I am confident. In any case, the servos are fast and play free.

Review by: KEN COBLE
Great servo, purchased ten, waiting to use in models, although have used my jeti servo tester...testing shows good results at 6 volt and 7.2.
Review by: Tim
I am happy with these Servos. They are very powerful, with good centering, no slop in the geartrain and no ugly noice!
Use them all arround in an NAN Xperience Pro f3j. So far everthing is good. In use since two month, about 10h airtime.
As allways great service and support from Neil!!!
Review by: Anonymous
The servo works exactly and vigorously I would at any time I buy it as a servo for a V control unit in a F3J glider
Review by: Silviu
Very good servo, center's very well, very fast and working at 5 V also. The gear and the case are stronger than his opponent's, MKS 6100.
Review by: Panos MourelatosMore than Sufficient!
A great alternative to the equivalent MKS, KST, ATLAS etc, at almost half the price. The servo is powerful with good centering, no slop in the geartrain and no noice!!
Review by: SimonGreat servo
Great servo for the price powerful, good centering, no slop in the geartrain. Quality of a higher price point servo I'm using them in my f3j and f5j models for rudder and elevator. So putting a lot of trust in them.
Review by: AnonymousGreat servo great service
A superb alternative to the equivalent MKS at almost half the price. We have eighteen of these in regular use with no issues.
The usual excellent service from Hyperflight of course.
Review by: Mike CarrisAfter use report
This is an after use report. Two of the BMS-105HV servos I purchased and using for flaps have completely failed in flight and at the same time. They were being used at 6 volts. Not sure I will purchase again.
Review by: AnonymousBluebird CB 1005HV/Kawatomo 10mm 10.9g 4.8kg.cm se
These little servos are gems! I believe that in many ways they are superior to the Mks 6100 that they resemble so closely. Zero slop, superb resolution and entering with quite amazing power and speed.
For less than £20 they are quite remarkable, we have a dozen of these in service and they all behave and sound the same!
Review by: Steve RogersKawatomo (blue bird) cb-1005HV servo
As a devotee of MKS 6100 servos I had to try these,but didn't expect too much. I bought four, they sound and before identically to each ,centre perfectly and are at the very least as fast and powerful as the originals. I will certainly buy more. Of course the service from hyperflight was as usual superb.
Review by: Pantelis Ntanavaras
good servo but better all Hyperfligth.co.uk and Neil for after market service!
Review by: Pantelis
Excellent servos, very good centering and very good price!!
Comment by: David JowersBlue Bird CB-1005HV
A very nice servo that centre's well, is quick and not too expensive. Although not installed in a glider they perform just fine in my EDF Hawker Hunter. They are much better at returning to centre than some of my recent Hitec purchases. Recommended.
Review by: Mike CarrisAt last! Excellent Micros at a reasonable price.
All five servos are excellent! No play and exact centering. First rate service from Hyperflight.

In a bruising encounter between two of the WTA's hardest hitters, Italian qualifier Camila Giorgi ousted 2015 Sydney International champion Petra Kvitova, 7-6(7), 6-2, to advance to the quarterfinals of the 2018 edition of the tournament.
Reported by wtatennis.com
The opening stanzas of the match went easily with serve, as both players were handling their delivery exceptionally well, and barely losing points when they stepped to the line. Only seven points were won by the returner in the first seven games.
Kvitova was the first to wobble serving down 3-4, as Giorgi started to hit absurdly strong and effective returns, and focused on breaking down the Czech's backhand as best as she could. Nevertheless, Kvitova was able to survive four break points to hold for 4-4.
The Czech former World No.2 faced an even more precarious service game in her next go, as Giorgi continued to take extreme risks on her return of serve. One such return clipped the net and barely dribbled over to give Giorgi her first set point. After it was saved, Kvitova hit her first two double faults of the match to give Giorgi two more set points, but those were fended off as well. Kvitova finally held for 5-5 after an eight-minute game.
After failing to convert any of her seven break points, Giorgi cracked at 5-5. An overrule on the baseline by chair umpire Aurelie Tourte rattled Giorgi, and she lost two straight points after that to give Kvitova a 6-5 lead on the Czech's first break opportunity of the match.
Suddenly, Kvitova was serving for the set. But she could not close out the opener, hitting her third double fault in two games, and then being unable to successfully respond to a powerful Giorgi backhand when down break point.
The players moved into the tiebreak, and Giorgi took an early 3-1 lead. Two unreturnable serves by Kvitova, however, put her in front at 4-3. After repelling three set points earlier in the set, Kvitova finally reached her own set point at 6-5. Giorgi was unfazed, and hit a fine serve that Kvitova could not return into play, which deadlocked the tiebreak at 6-6.
A forehand winner by Kvitova saved a fourth Giorgi set point to level the breaker at 7-7, but Giorgi claimed the crucial mini-break on the next point by dragging Kvitova wide and tempting the Czech into a forehand error. One final error long by the usually fearsome Kvitova forehand gave Giorgi the first set on the Italian's fifth set point, after a grueling 70 minutes.
The second set, by comparison, was anticlimactic, as the wind went out of Kvitova's sails. Giorgi started to step way into the court on second service returns, and Kvitova's forehand faltered much more often than it does during her purple patches of form.
Kvitova threw in a fatigued double fault down break point at 1-1 to give Giorgi the first lead of the second set. Then, serving at 4-2, Kvitova was broken at love after she hit multiple forehands wide with no provocation.
Giorgi neared the finish line, and serving at 5-2, 30-30, the Italian hit an ace to bring up her first match point. Here, Kvitova put up her sternest resistance of the set, saving four match points, but the Czech could never reach break point in an attempt to extend the match any further.
A lovely backhand winner by Giorgi brought up a fifth match point, and one more wide unforced error from the Kvitova forehand gave the qualifier another straight-set win in a long line of them this week.

I was in charge of selecting a wall art as a Memorial for a member of a club. When I saw this picture, I knew it was perfect, as she loved hummingbirds. It is being donated to the Women's Shelter of Long Beach, as she was a victim of spousal abuse. My husband and I own several of John Yato's original watercolors. We love this picture. Is the original available?

Everyone loves to take a holiday once in a while and what better place to go than Paris, France. This is one of the most renowned cities throughout the world that has a rich culture and heritage and welcomes people from around the world.
Paris which started off as the Paris Basin in 52 BC, which was conquered by the Romans started off as one of Rome's Western front that quickly became prosperous thanks to the location and trade throughout the empire. Originally, the city's name was Parisius in Latin, which later became Paris in French.
Many people love to go and see the sights in Paris like the Pantheon as it has a 360 degree panoramic view of all of Paris, the Centre Pompidou with its modern art treasures, and its famous for its street performers. Of course, these are only a couple of places to visit while you are in Paris.
Today, we will look at 20 things that you should do when you go to Paris. Let's get started!
Top 20 Things to Do in Paris
1. Go to the Top of the Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower is one of the most famous monuments around the world, and it was originally erected as a short-term exhibit for the World Fair. However, it was left up, and it became a monument of the French people. The Eiffel Tower itself gives breath-taking views of Paris and is visible throughout most of the city. Just recently there was a glass floor installed in 2014, to give guests views a new experience. There is also a champagne bar on the third floor along with the famous Jules Verne restaurant, which is to have astounding gourmet food. During the night time the Eiffel tower girders light up every hour until the dawn breaks.
2. Explore Musee du Quai Branly
Near the Eiffel Tower, there is Musee du Quai Branly, which is an earth-like cubist structure that is enveloped with a botanical wall. The museum itself has a variety of collections of primitive art from Africa, Asia, and the America's all within their own sections. The museum is open on from Tuesday to Sunday with hours that range from 11AM to 7-9PM depending upon the day. If you happen to get hungry, then you have the option of visiting the Quai Branly's rooftop restaurant, Les Ombres. They serve fusion cuisine with amazing views of the Eiffel Tower.
3. Cruise on the Seine with Bateaux-Mouches
When you're on the River Seine you can be sure that you are along some of the most beautiful monuments that Paris has to offer. This is one of the most popular tourist spots because of the breath-taking views and the sights of the Bateaux-Mouches riverboats. Besides the general cruise to see the sights, guests also have the option of taking a lunch, brunch, and dinner cruises while taking in the sights with beautiful accordion music.
4. Go to the Louvre
Within the Louvre you could easily spend a day here. The Louvre is absolutely massive and has galleries and wings you could get lost in. They have art work that has the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo and The Virgin of the Rocks. There are countless other exhibits in the museum, and an audio guide is given to guests to help guide them through the museum. The Museum itself is an artwork within itself as it's a modern architectural masterpiece, and you will never forget that you got to visit this famous museum. If you are starting to feel tired and need to take a break you can always visit Café Mollien at the top of the grand Mollien staircase.
5. Visit the Orsay Train Station
The Orsay train station was converted into the Musée D'Orsay in 1986 to exhibit one of the world's largest collections of Impressionist and Post-impressionist art. Some of the renowned artists showcased here include Monet, Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Renoir. There is also a wide variety of other artists that is part of the collection that includes sculptures, photographs, graphic arts, and architecture. If you need to a pick-me up go grab a coffee at the café behind the museum's transparent clock.
6. Explore the La Conciergerie and Sainte-Chapelle
When viewing the magnificent architecture that looks like it should be in a fairytale we can tell that there is an abundance of history that has taken place behind its walls. During the time of the French revolution, Conciergerie was used as a prison for those who were put to death using the guillotine, including Queen Marie-Antoinette. You can still see remnants of this revolutionary history in its prison cells, but the main attraction for the Conciergerie is its stunning medieval architecture. After checking out this medieval wonder you should head up the road to the 13th-century Sainte-Chapelle, which has some of the most beautiful stained-glass windows in the world.
7. Ascend the Arc de Triomphe
The Arc de Triomphe is one of the best-known monuments in France and for a good reason. The Arch was inspired by the Roman Arch of Titus and was commissioned to be built in 1806 after the victory of Austerlitz by Emperor Napoleon at the peak of his empire. Although it was designed with the Roman specifications, it tended to be a bit higher with a height of 60 meters. Today it is available to the public, and you can climb 284 steps to the top of the Arc. At the peak, you can see splendorous views between the arc of La Defense and the Louvre.
8. Visit the Chateau de Versailles
Time has laid hold of Versailles, and it has had makeover after makeover making it the most extravagant chateau in the world. Architect Louis Le Vau first embellished the original building to be made into a hunting lodge built during Louis XIII's reign. After the course of time, it was made the residences of Vaux-Le-Vicomte, under Louis XIV. Furthermore, the residence ended up with André Le Nôtre, as he turned the boggy marshland into a beautiful terrain of terraces, parterres, lush groves and a spectacular series of fountains. Today tourists can go for a guided tour of Versailles and come for the festivals, and entertainment activities scheduled year round.
9. Come and See the Musee Rodin
This museum has endless opportunities as you can spend a day in the gardens of the Musée Rodin. Without a doubt, this is one of Paris's well known locations as it has Rodin's greatest statues, including The Thinker and The Gates of Hell. The museum was dedicated in 1919 to the French sculpture Auguste Rodin that includes 6,600 sculptures, 8,000 drawings, 8,000 old photographs, and 7,000 other art objects. If you happen to be visiting the gardens in the summer and get hungry you can always satisfy your pallet with delicious ice cream served in the garden. They are also open to the public Tuesday through Sunday from 10AM to 5:45PM.
10. Enjoy the Gourmet Sightseeing Tour
This sightseeing tour in one of the best in Paris as you first hop aboard the bustronome a double-decker bus with cuisine created by top chef contestants on the French version of Masterchef. They visit the city's best historic monuments. The bus never goes over 10 km/h, so you know you will be able to get all the sights in while not having to worry about getting motion sickness. Even when things get a shaken up you won't have to worry too much as your plates and glasses have magnetic placements, so they can stay in the right place. All while you are enjoying the food and the sightseeing, a guide will explain these historical monuments and the history behind them. If you have questions, the guides will be happy to answer them as well on your tour.
11. Explore the Grand and Petit Palais
The Grand and Petit Palais are from the 1900 World Fair and were set up as one building wonders as they were a world-class temporary arts exhibition and a science museum. Later on small antiques and charms were added to 1918. Today, you can see all of these classic wonders, and if you are hungry, then you can have lunch at Mini-Palais (the Grand Palais' restaurant managed by Le Bristol's acclaimed chef Eric Fréchon); then see which chef d'oeuvres the Grand Palais has a show beneath its iconic glass roof.
12. Get Your Chocolate On at Alain Ducasse
This is a wonderful workshop filled with the smells of chocolates near Bastille Street. Alain Ducasse is the renowned chef here, and he produces some of the best chocolates from around the world using the best ingredients from around the world. Everything about this shop returns to the roots of chocolate recipes, employing ancient techniques and age-old machinery rather than modern techniques. There is a variety to satisfy any sweet tooth from pralines, ganaches, and truffles and more all with exceptional flavors.
13. Take a Tour at Les Catacombes
If you want to have a bit of history of Paris that is a bit on the scary side, then you should check out the tour at Les Catacombes, with kilometers of tunnels lined with the femurs and skulls of the deceased. Created 18 metres underground in the 18th-century to stop disease from spreading from the overpopulated city cemeteries, they now make for a chilling tour. As a word of caution, don't be tempted to take any skulls or bone souvenirs as the security will check bags upon you leaving.
14. Catch a Game at the Stade de France
The football and rugby games at the stadium are for absolutely everyone. This French stadium has behind-the-scenes tours of this sports stadium. The museum contains memorabilia from the past teams and the electric guitars from the famous musicians who played here. The tour begins by sitting in the stands and ends with a run out through the tunnel to the sound of applause. On the way, you can visit the changing and shower rooms and learn about the on-site hospital and prison cells. Tickets are best bought online beforehand, and tours are not available on when there is a game or concert scheduled.
15. Spend an Afternoon at the Musee National Gustave Moreau
The Musée Gustave Moreau makes you feel like you're going back to the early 19th century as the rooms are filled with what looks like nick-knacks. The museum has around 1,300 paintings in over three stories. One of the highlights is the light-filled workshop where Moreau used to work on his masterpieces. You are encouraged to climb the swirling iron staircase to look at the two-meter tall Jupiter and Semele, which is a masterpiece of blues, greens, and gold's in which Moreau redefines his interpretation of the classic myth.
16. Take in the Institut du Monde Arabe
This grand design was constructed from 1980 to 1987 by Jean Nouvel, which was a blend of Arab influences mixed with high-tech architecture. The building features shuttered windows, inspired by Moorish palaces that allowed specific sunlight during the contrast of the daytime. A museum covering the history of Islamic Arab world is on the upper floors that go through the Islamic dynasties to present day.
17. Take an Afternoon to visit the Jardin d'Acclimatation
Created in 1860, this amusement park and garden has Normandy-style farm animals and an aviary, as well as boat rides. It also has a funfair with mini roller coasters, flying chairs, the Enchanted House for children aged two to four and two playgrounds. You also have an option to try out radio-controlled boats, or try out a game of mini-golf. A miniature train runs from Porte Maillot through the Bois de Boulogne to the park entrance. Many of the entertainment here is free while a couple of rides and games do cost a small fee.
18. Try a Secret Supper with Strangers
If you happen to be wanting to meet new people and are up for a unique and creative way to go outside of your normal method to meet strangers, then a secret supper might be for you. Supper clubs are the new rage as guests meet up at private locations, have surprise menus that sometimes consist of home-cooked meals. The benefit from this type of dining experience is that you meet with fun and interesting strangers who all wanted to venture out to meet new people all who love good food and want to make new friends.
19. Enjoy Wine Tasting at Le Baron Rouge
France is known for having some of the best wines in the world, and if you have gone to France to sample some of these wines, then you will enjoy the wine tasting at Le Baron Rouge. When you have finished your day at a museum and need to relax then this is the perfect spot. There are barrels that are full of wine in which you have the choice of five choices (rose, merlot, white, and two different reds) as well as a variety of other wines. A lot of people enjoy the wines here as they are very affordable with a wide variety to choose from. Typically, a liter of wine can range from 2.8 to 7.2 euro.
20. Take up a Musical at Theatre du Chatelet
If you want to see a classical musical than the Theater du Chatelet is the right place for you. They have revolutionized Paris's musicals scene. You can now see great classical musicals like West Side Story and The Sound of Music. If you come at the right time you can see the productions in English often with a live orchestra. They are open 11AM to 7PM except on Sunday and holidays and charge €3 per seat. You can even book tickets online.
Paris definitely has a variety of things to do, and it doesn't matter if your single, married with kids, or even retired as Paris has something to do for everyone. There is an abundance of things for everyone, and today we only covered a short list of the possibilities of hundreds of other things to do. If you are planning to come to Paris, what would interests would you like to explore and are there any particular seasons you would like to know about?

Like all other businesses we are not immune to market forces and though we may make adjustments to our contributions as dictated by business demands and profits, we continue to see the importance of supporting the national festival", she remarked.
LIME remains the title sponsor of the season's most widely anticipated show, the LIME Soca Monarch and the Official telecommunications provider for Spicemas.

China's economy grew at an annual rate of 6.9% between April and June according to official figures, slightly higher than forecast.
Beijing is trying to rein in debt and a housing bubble with tough measures on the property sector and lenders.
Many analysts expected China's economy to slow as those policies kicked in.
But the latest data is well above Beijing's 6.5% growth target for 2017.

We are going to look at two different expressions today. They look similar but mean two completely things.
DEAL A BLOW means to cause major problems to someone or something, often an idea or project.
The information that he has been in prison has dealt a serious blow to his chances of becoming Mayor.
The bad trade news has dealt a blow to the economy.
Losing its star player has dealt a blow to United's chances of winning the Cup.
BLOW A DEAL means to not get a contract. It is the opposite of CUT A DEAL.
You blew the deal when you asked them for the payment in advance.
I don't want to blow the deal by putting too much pressure on them.
If we blow this deal, we will go out of business.

After establishing himself as one of the best defenders in the league under former United boss Louis van Gaal, Smalling has found his opportunities limited under Mourinho, making just 18 Premier League appearances for the Red Devils last term.
Man Utd to receive £10m bid from Premier League rival https://t.co/p1vvUvchtb pic.twitter.com/JBfsUeNEqf— The Sun Football ⚽ (@TheSunFootball) July 24, 2017
Daley Blind and Marcos Rojo have often been preferred by the Portuguese and with Eric Bailly's return from injury and United's £30m summer signing of Benfica's Victor Lindelof, Smalling may well need to leave Old Trafford to play regularly next season.
Baggies boss Tony Pulis is reportedly an admirer of the 27-year-old and sees the England international as an ideal addition to West Brom's back-line.
West Brom secured a superb tenth placed finish last season, but the Baggies will be disappointed at the team's decline in form after the 40-point mark was assured and will be keen to bring an experienced competitor like Smalling.
Pulis' former club Stoke, as well as Leicester and Crystal Palace are also reportedly interested in the former Fulham centre-half.
West Brom have signed former United stars Darren Fletcher and Jonny Evans in recent years and look set to offer £10m to bring the former Millwall youth player to the Hawthorns.
"We have three or four other targets we are desperate for. We are juggling with two at the moment and that's not [Kieran] Gibbs," he said.
"Hopefully by the time we get back home we will have done those two."

Life Science companies face huge costs, time constraints and rigorous regulatory requirements when bringing products to market.
The Life Sciences industry today faces significant challenges getting quality materials to market quickly in order to remain competitive in the marketplace. Time consuming medical-legal review process, complex workflows, version control of assets across brands, therapeutic areas and geographic challenges present significant costs to both time and resources.
Resolving these challenges provides value to organizations.
Still, due to the number of areas to address, a resolution seems daunting. The medical-legal review process is cyclical and regulated by varying governments. In addition, regulations change frequently, third-parties often complicate access to materials, and the end-to-end workflow requires many touch points. These combined factors create process bottlenecks and potential compliance risks. Increased budget pressures require that these challenges be addressed.
Managing these materials has proven challenging and costly.
With the demands of new marketing channels, increased product competition and the desire for shared product or therapeutic information, organizations need to ensure accurate and relevant materials are reaching the healthcare industry as quickly as possible.
The reality is, Life Science marketing materials require accurate claims, backed by verifiable and approved references. Managing references in materials is time consuming, as references need to be linked, tracked and updated per document, with many documents requiring multiple links. This is a resource intensive and time consuming task when centrally managed. In addition:
- The evolution of digital technology has moved marketing from a simple paper based solution to broadly used materials across multiple channels and devices.
- Today, organizations invest large amounts of time, money and resources to avoid risk through a thorough, but cumbersome, medical-legal review process.
- Revising materials due to review board recommendations, regulation changes, or expanded marketing campaigns, requires a team of resources, collaborating through the design, development, completion and distribution.
Navigating Content Success
An effective, sustainable content management system, paired with a solid organizational and process strategy, is the key to simplifying the management of promotional materials.
Implementing solutions for managing, harvesting and protecting information assets and promotional content is paramount. Here are some examples of critical actions:
- New implementations and migrations from legacy systems.
- Analyzing current process workflow and technical capabilities.
- Developing business solution strategies for a streamlined process.
- Conceptualizing technical enablement options.
- Leveraging electronic content management solutions delivered in the cloud.
- Assessing and selecting vendors which best meet the business process and organization structure.
- Optimizing key expertise during construction and digital enablement.
- Delivering value by optimizing your processes, eliminating bottlenecks and reducing errors and costs.
Good News: Combining the right technology with a refined business process and strategy will enable the technology to work for the business. The combination needs to be adaptable to compliance changes, easily maintained and responsive. Additionally, the ability to share content and manage references and claims, through the right processes and technology, helps define the path to simplification and savings.

(NT 5331 7453) Abbey Bridge (NR)
OS 6" map (1969).
Abbey Bridge is an early 16th century structure with a total span, on three pointed drop-centred arches, of 131ft, and is 16ft wide. A panel over the S arch records, with indecipherable date, that the bridge was repaired; on the W coping the incised date '1870' probably records a later repair.
RCAHMS 1924, visited 1913
As described above. Only the southernmost of the three arches now spans the river.

J R Hume 1976.
NT 5331 7453. A watching brief was undertaken by Kirkdale Archaeology in January 1996 during the excavation of three test pits on the top of the bridge. The bridge spans the Tyne, approximately 1km E of Haddington, and features three drop-centred arches. Monitoring revealed the substantial construction of the late medieval bridge, which was constructed of large sandstone blocks. A former surface, beneath the present tarmac road, was located in one of the pits. This surface did not survive in the other two pits, where the road directly overlay the original masonry. Three phases of construction and repair were recorded, and a graphic and photographic record was made.

Publication Account (2007)
A masonry bridge with three pointed arches over the Tyne dated by Inglis to the 1440 to 1540 period, probably early- 16th century. Each arch is of about 37 ft span and originally had five masonry ribs 18 in. broad with chamfered edges, some of which have been cut away on each side arch without apparently affecting stability. The ribs were built first, and then slabbed over transversely.
The width is 1312 ft between parapets and 16 ft overall. The west side has been rebuilt in a different style and probably at a later date with slight corbelling and a string course at road level. An inscription of 1870 on the west coping probably indicates a repair date. The bridge was probably financed by pre-reformation churches or abbeys. The bridge is well maintained and in regular use for local access.

Networking is no newbie to the world of business (or employment); from business deals to job leads, networking has always been the way to go.
It is an undisputed fact that almost 75 to 80% of jobs are filled through networking. This trend doesn't come as a surprise though; don't we all love to shop at places or dine at restaurants recommended to us by our trusted friends? In a similar manner, corporations, too, like to hire employees referred by a trusted source.
So how exactly does one break into an employer's inner circle? Well, read on.
Get them to recommend you
Let us examine some of the individuals or organizations any company would need to work with. An average company would need at least one or more of the following: lawyer (or law firm); bank, investors, or venture capital firms; consultants; vendors; employees; insurance agents (or companies); customers (of course); technology support (internal or external); maintenance; business partners; external auditors (or accounting firms); public relations consultant(s); equipment suppliers. In addition, one or more of the following affiliations may exist: universities, professional associations, community, religious, political, non-profit causes.
Using aggressive networking and targeted company and industry research, you should be able to discover which of these parties your employer associates with. Once you have that information try approaching them. Most people tend to be receptive to individuals soliciting advice or guidance, so the key is to avoid sounding like a salesperson, but rather as someone who is seeking advice. (During the conversation you could slowly introduce a request for recommendation or help.)
Merit if supplemented with a recommendation from someone known to the employer could significantly boost your chances of securing the offer.
Nail the hiring manager
Targeted cold calling, networking, extensive company research, and industry associations should help you find the name of the hiring manager. The way targeted cold calling works (for the purpose of job networking) is as follows: try calling the company you are interested in working with; ask the operator to transfer you to the department you would most likely work at; once through the department, tactfully ask the person on the other end to tell you the name of the person who would make hiring decisions for the department. (Sometimes, it helps if you tell the other person you are looking for advice as opposed to a job.)
Even though HR does all the hiring, most of the job requisition process starts at the departmental level. Sometimes, if you manage to speak with the hiring manager before recruitment ads are placed, you might eliminate all the competition that would otherwise come into play once the ad placed.
(If possible, network with individuals at one level above, below, and at the same level as the hiring manager. If these individuals also put in a word for you, it would be like icing on a cake.)
Tell everyone
The more you network, the faster you will reach your career goals. Start by contacting everyone in your address book. It doesn't matter if they are not in your profession or your geographic area of interest; they might just know of someone who can help — don't assume they can't help. Potential networking contacts and platforms can include the following: friends, colleagues, acquaintances, previous employers, industry associates, vendors, customers, mentors, professors, industry/alumni associations, college career centers, recruiters and headhunters, golf buddies, book club members, support groups, places of worship, career fairs, community and religious leaders, industry experts, etc. I would also add individuals like barbers, massage therapists, doctors, vets, nail salon owners and workers, waiters, bartenders, coaches, neighbors, subway riders (of course, the ones you speak with), bus drivers… Now, I know that sounds like a stretch, but my stance is based on experience. I recently coached a client to contact everyone she knew; though reluctant at first, she took my advice seriously. She informed her massage therapist about her employment interests; the therapist happened to know a CEO (again, a client); the two connected and, voilà, my client found her dream job. This is not an isolated example; the employment world is a witness to many such stories everyday.
Recruiters and headhunters
Networking with recruiters and headhunters is integral to the success of any job networking effort. These are individuals who get paid thousands of dollars to find the "right" candidate. (Certain recruiters have a tremendous influence over the hiring manager.)

Government drone by day and book lover and geek girl by night!
And now for the last spaces!
More recycled categories! In addition, since 31 isn't divisible by 5, I just stuck the last category onto this post so we didn't have one lonely category sitting out there by itself!
Cozy mystery: a subgenre of crime fiction in which sex and violence are downplayed or treated humorously, and the crime and detection take place in a small, socially intimate community.
Book suggestions: There is already a Cozy Mystery list available! I also stumbled on this one, Wicked Autumn by G.M. Malliet, which looks entertaining, and a throwback recommendation to an absolutely charming series, The Number One Ladies Detective Agency, set in Botswana!
Darkest London: any mystery, suspense, horror or supernatural book set in London.
Book suggestions: I have a huge weakness for books set in London, so this isn't the first time this category has turned up in Halloween bingo! That means that there is already a list, which you can find here, which already has 72 suggestions. I am a huge fan of V.E. Schwab's A Darker Shade of Magic series, which features not one, but four, Londons!
Amateur sleuth: this mystery will have a main character who is not a member of law enforcement.
Book suggestions: I've been enjoying Miss Silver, by Patricia Wentworth, and Latter End is one that I really enjoyed! One of the nice things about the Golden Age mystery authors is that typically their books can be read in any order! Agatha Christie's Miss Marple is also an amateur sleuth, and I like 4:50 From Paddington, which co-stars one of my favorite Christie women, Lucy Eyelesbarrow. In addition, take a look at MBD's Amateur Sleuth list.
Terrifying women: mystery, horror, suspense or supernatural written by women.
Book suggestions: I don't think anyone can go wrong with either Patricia Highsmith or Shirley Jackson. But, if you're still looking, check out the Terrifying Women Authors list!
Murder Most Foul: any murder mystery.
Book suggestions: Let's start with one of the best murder mysteries ever written - Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express. In addition, you can find many other options on these lists: Serial/Spree Killer, Locked Room Mystery, and Mystery Square.
Diverse voices: written by an author of color.
Book suggestions: I'm always looking for new books written by diverse authors. I recently discovered Attica Locke, who writes mysteries, including Bluebird, Bluebird, which I read earlier this year and liked. Also, I always recommend Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower for this square! Last year I read Half-Resurrection Blues by Daniel Jose Older, which I liked. You can find a bunch more here: Diverse Authors Square.
Well, that's a wrap guys!
And, if you are going to be requesting a card, do it here!

For the first time in eight decades, retail gas stations in Mexico are getting competition from foreign firms — and a lot of it. It makes for a great illustration of the benefits of capitalism and, with NAFTA renegotiations languishing, for an especially timely lesson in how connected our economy is to that of our southern neighbors.
Irving-based Exxon Mobil turned heads this month by announcing plans to spend $300 million over the next decade opening gas stations in Mexico, the fifth-largest retail gasoline market in the world. Eight opened already, and 50 should be open by the spring. California-based Chevron and a consortium of partners have announced plans to open stores in Mexico, too.
BP and Royal Dutch Shell are also on the ground in Mexico. Shell, which opened its first gasoline station in Mexico in September, plans to open 1,000 more within the decade.
These investments reinforce the ties linking Mexico and America and our economies. Exxon, for instance, plans to supply its new stations, which it will operate jointly with a Mexican firm, with gasoline and diesel fuel produced at its refineries in Texas, and then ship that fuel by rail to Mexico.
The foreign capital is flowing to Mexico because Big Oil sees there's money to be made, now that the country has finally finalized rules in the wake of its 2013 shift to privatization. That change includes lifting the ban on foreign ownership of retail gasoline stations and, most dramatically, ending the monopoly on oil production by state-owned firm Petróleos Mexicanos.
Mexico sells some 800,000 barrels a day of gasoline. But since 1938, all that gasoline was sold at locally owned stations that carried the Pemex brand. That's beginning to change. It's true, Mexicans are now paying more for gas than during the years of the monopoly. But in return for paying more, they are likely to see better service, more options at the stations and cleaner, more reliable gas, too.
Pemex leaders have already conceded that the company will have to invest heavily in its 11,000 gas stations in order to keep customers from abandoning old habits and filling up in the stations that are already carrying Mobil, Shell and other foreign brands.
It's a good time to think about the way money and jobs and energy resources cross the border with Mexico. Negotiators from Canada, Mexico and the U.S. are in Washington this month for informal meetings ahead of next month's sixth round of talks in Montreal about the future of the North American Free Trade Agreement.
Sen. John Cornyn of Texas has been one of the most consistent and vocal GOP supporters of keeping NAFTA's guts intact, including through conversations with President Donald Trump. This latest talk of cross-border investments ought to keep him well-supplied for that vital advocacy.
NAFTA re-negotiations
Current status: President Donald Trump has vowed to pull the U.S. out of the North American Free Trade Agreement if new terms that favor the U.S. can't be agreed to as part of the ongoing re-negotiations. The fifth round of these talks ended last month with little progress and heated objections from Mexico and Canada.
Interim steps: Negotiators met in mid-December in Washington in a series of meetings designed to smooth progress. The Trump administration has claimed some progress, but Bloomberg News has reported that prospects for an agreement by March, as Trump has demanded, are shrinking. Just two chapters in an agreement that is expected to contain at least 20 have been finalized.
Next up: The parties meet in Montreal Jan. 23-28. It's the sixth round of talks and seen as a major test of whether the parties will agree.

Yet another article detailing the civil liberties we are slowly but surely losing. I very much admire Bush for his ability to get these things done. "The stupid president" he is not. When I think of him, I am reminded of a very old SNL sketch during the mid/late 80s. Phil Hartman is playing Reagan, but he plays him very smart, theyre in a meeting which is broken up for a photo-op in which Reagan pretends to be stupid. After the photo-op ends, the meeting resumes, Reagan pulls down a map of the world, with different countires in different colors. He then begins to explain "We sell arms to the red countries, then we use that money to fund civil wars in the orange countries,..." and so on. And when he is asked a question, because one of his aides "doesn't understand" he says "I'm the only one who has to understand..."
Here's something if you're really bored...
Russian presidential elections are in March. An article on how to become President My favorite part is when they explain how to become president in other countries. "A US candidate for presidency for instance has to comply with the W.A.S.P. formula. In other words, the candidate must be a White Protestant of Anglo-Saxon descent." Wow. Just wow. Sucks for Lieberman, eh? This is from http://english.pravda.ru which is the English version of the russian paper Pravda. But the thing is, 'cept for Kennedy, they're right. They're totally right.
Anyways, if it comes down to it, I am moving to Canada. Or Florida...cuz I mean martial law wouldn't be SO bad if it was sunny all the time.
Current Music: But seriously, I'll move to canada if I have to.

CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC: Living in fear after rebel attack
Friday, November 28, 2008
SAM OUANDJA Friday, November 28, 2008 (IRIN) - The residents of this town near the Sudanese border are on edge, fearful that rebel fighters will repeat a recent assault that caused three-quarters of the population to flee in panic. Aid workers are still trying to track down many of the vulnerable residents, as well as Sudanese refugees from nearby camps, who fled to the bush after the attack on the night of 8 November and have not yet returned. "The latest attack traumatised people; many are...
