A Swift Awakening
My first memory involving Taylor Swift consists of jumping up and down with my cousin on my her bed as fourth graders, practically touching the ceiling as we screamed about short skirts and t-shirts and pretended to know the remaining lyrics of the song.
As a young kid, I didn't listen to much "American" music besides what was on the CDs my dad would burn—for a while, I never felt the need to listen to anything else. Once I realized that there was a world of music I had yet to explore, I downloaded a set of eleven songs. Five of these were Taylor Swift songs that I kept on loop until I discovered internet downloads and expanded more. In middle school, I hit the "I Exclusively Listen To Punk Rock" phase, not paying much attention to Taylor Swift besides what I heard about her from friends who'd fill me in on her increasingly long list of ex-lovers. I got to know hits from her pop-exploring album Red, particularly "I Knew You Were Trouble" and "We Are Never Getting Back Together," but otherwise completely forgot about her until the end of my sophomore year, after 1989 had been released and taken the world by storm.
Honey, your name is white.
"When It Rains," "Restless Heart Syndrome," "World So Cold"…I scrolled through my finished playlist with decided satisfaction, hitting the space bar on my bulky hand-me-down Mac and turning up the volume in my headphones. The soft guitar and choir voices of Yellowcard's "Paper Walls" title track played through the speakers in my ears, coming to a quiet stop right before the amps kicked in and began to dissolve the churning sensation in my gut.
Let's take what hurts and write it all down on these paper walls in this empty house. The words echoed in my head alongside those whispered about me earlier that day at school. Gorilla, gorilla, gorilla. I wrote them all down in my current journal. I glanced at my violin sitting in its case at the foot of my bed, then at the computer's clock. I'll practice after a few more songs.
I was determined to be conventionally different.
Ravyn Lenae's new EP "crushes" expectations
Floating colors and the warmest of smiles—that's Chicago-based singer Ravyn Lenae in a nutshell. I stumbled upon her music a little over a year ago and was fortunate enough to see her in concert when she opened for Noname on her Telefone tour. Lenae's debut EP Moon Shoes was unlike anything I've heard before, and her subtly captivating vocals accompanied my evenings for months on end. Her voice is easy to connect to, and her songs remind me of having late-night conversations with my best friends. Her next EP release, Midnight Moonlight, continued showcasing her honest lyrics; this EP was more like conversations while falling in love. Moon Shoes was yellows and pinks; Midnight Moonlight was deep blue and violet; her new EP, Crush, is scarlet, sticking within a red palette but exploring all ranges of the color.

'Crazy' public pay deal provokes fury of Fine Gael backbenchers
The Government's new public-sector pay deal has been severely criticised by a number of Fine Gael TDs, who have branded it as a "desperate Labour attempt to keep unions onside".
The new deal, which will cost €566m over three years, has been slated by Government TDs who questioned if the Coalition even has a mandate to do the deal.
Under the terms of the deal, known as the Lansdowne Road Agreement, State employees are to receive an average of €2,000 each over the next two years.
Defending the outcome, Public Expenditure Minister Brendan Howlin said it will ensure industrial peace, but backbench TDs in Fine Gael have reacted strongly to the agreement.
Dublin Bay South TD Eoghan Murphy described the deal as "crazy". He told the Sunday Independent: "From what I've heard, I think it's crazy. Borrowing to pay one sector a pay increase, which is then funded by every taxpayer. I would question whether or not the Government has a mandate to do it to be honest."

"I am very disappointed that the process wasn't conducted by an independent commission to ensure transparency and fairness. We've reverted to the practices of the past. Money should have been distributed evenly to all taxpayers through tax cuts and not just a pay bonus for one sector," he added.
Waterford TD and Public Accounts Committee vice-chairman John Deasy also hit out at the pay deal and argued that any dividend of the rising economy should not be limited to just one sector.
"Any dividend needs to be shared between private-sector as well as public-sector workers. This has more to do with Labour desperate to keep the unions on side," he said.
However, Mr Howlin yesterday passionately defended the merits of the deal, saying it allows the Government and the country to have certainty.
Read more: €566m: the price of public sector votes
"The pay deal ensures industrial peace in the public service for the next three years. It allows Government to plan with certainty and focuses pay recovery on the lowest paid first," he told the Sunday Independent.
"As pay in the private sector is already in recovery, it maintains the central platform of reform and innovation in all areas of the public service. Every citizen and business depends on an efficient and effective public service. This deal ensures that managers have the tools to provide it," Mr Howlin added.
Subject to union agreement, the pay increases will begin on January 1 next year.
The first phase will see the pension levy threshold increase from €15,000 to €24,750.
The second phase of pay increases to take effect from September 1, 2016, will see the pension levy threshold increase to €28,750. The combination of these measures in 2016 will improve all public service full-time incomes by around €1,000 per annum.
Then, in 2017, annualised salaries up to €65,000 will increase by €1,000 per annum.

BJP leader announces Rs 5 lakh reward for 'beheading' Mandsaur gangrape accused
A BJP leader has said that he would give Rs five lakh to anyone who 'beheads' the accused in Mandsaur gang-rape incident. Earlier, the father of an eight-year-old girl, who was allegedly gang-raped in Mandsaur district, Madhya Pradesh, on Sunday demanded capital punishment for the accused.
"We demand capital punishment for the accused. If Court or administration is not capable of doing it, I have said I will give Rs. 5 Lakh to the person who beheads the accused and gets his head," ANI quoted BJP's Sanjeev Mishra as saying.
The victim, whose father is a flower vendor in Mandsaur, was raped on June 26 after having been abducted from outside her school by two men. She had suffered grievous injuries to her neck, face, head and private parts and was admitted to the Maharaja Yeshwantrao (MY) hospital here on June 27.
The girl's father told reporters at the hospital that his family wants death sentence for the accused.
"Our family doesn't want compensation from the government. We want the legal process in this case to be completed at the earliest and convicts be awarded death sentence as soon as possible," the distraught man said.
Asked about the state government's decision to extend a financial assistance worth Rs 10 lakh to his family, he said, "Money is not an issue. We only want justice."
He also said he was satisfied with the treatment being provided to his daughter by doctors at MY Hospital.
Meanwhile, Mandsaur District Collector O P Shrivastava told PTI that Rs five lakh from the chief minister's discretionary fund was transferred to the bank account of the victim's father on Saturday to provide immediate financial assistance to the family. Another instalment of Rs five lakh will be deposited tomorrow, he said.
After discharge from the hospital, the girl would be provided counselling by a senior psychiatrist so that she can recover from the trauma and lead a normal life.
Earlier, the two accused -- Irfan alias Bhaiyu (20) and Asif (24) -- were arrested in connection with the case and booked under relevant sections of the IPC and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

CITO Talks to Us Ahead of Led Zeppelin Tribute
Sunday is going to be amazing and the line up of artists sports some of the biggest names to give a fitting tribute to the legendary Zeppelin.
I spoke with CITO about his unaging looks, his side projects and,of course, his favourite Zep lyrics.
Richard Chemaly (RC): Firstly, off the bat, I gotta ask. You're heading to your mid forties but you don't look a day above 30 and you've lived the life of a rockstar…because, well, you have been one for over 2 decades. What's the secret?
CITO (C): *laughs* Thanks for the compliment! I don't know it could any one of the following or a combination of all. I drink coffee, which is an antioxidant. I'm half Puerto Rican. My mom looks like she's 50 and she's almost 80! I'm doing what I love to do…ie music. Rock n Roll keeps me young. Herbal remedies. Age is a state of mind. I'm lank immature.
RC: Before we get into music, I'd like to talk a bit about your extensive charity work. Peace Starts seems to have quietened down. Have you been shifting energies to the broader, CoLab Network? What initiatives are you currently involved in?
C: Yeah, I took a break from Peace Starts and The CoLab Network to focus on my music. I kind of felt that all of those other projects were demanding of (and deserved) my full attention; consequently, diluting everything I was involved with. My music creativity kept taking a back seat and that is what I should be focusing on.
I'm not trying to save the world, while my own productivity was nowhere. So, I'll perform at certain charity events with WONDERboom or solo or whatever, but I won't diminish the value in those events by performing at all that get proposed to me. It's tough because all are legitimate and deserve to be supported, but my current chapter requires me to be creative.
RC: Now, 21 years after forming Wonderboom, you've released a brand new album. (A) where do you find the energy and (B) since it's your first new album for a good 6 years, are you going to be touring extensively?
C: The energy is found in doing what I love. And that is creating and performing music with my brothers. I honestly don't feel jaded or tired because I know, deep down, that there's so much more to do and that can be done musically. We are definitely touring the album. Got some nice dates from November to January all around the Eastern, Northern and Western Capes as well as Gauteng and even China! Watch this space! This is just the beginning – again!
RC: I've had high regard for your DIY ethic and loved listening to your interviews where you talk bout the missing "hunger" in today's generation. You often speak of how you would put up posters and persuade people to come to your gigs. What needs to be done to bring that back?
C: Well, the days of handing out flyers and putting up posters have changed. We now need to adapt to other forms of marketing, especially through social media. But, the one thing that hasn't changed is the effect of performances. Word-of-mouth is the strongest tool.
If you put on a half-baked performance somewhere, because you've got a miff turnout or you're not feeling it, chances are, the people who were at that show won't come again. You give your performances all you've got, every single time, that shit spreads. Live performance is where it's at. Engaging with your fans is very important. And being pro on all counts.
RC: I'm really keen to hear some of your former projects' works. Is there anyway we can get a listen to music from your former groups like The Electric Pedals, Moon Child and The 8 Legged Groove Machine?
C: The Electric Petals were a rocking band with success in shows and recording. Martin, Wade and myself weren't in the Electric Petals; Danny De Wet was. We joined forces with them as The Eight Legged Groove Machine to form supergroup, The Electric Petal Groove Machine!
Eight legged Groove Machine never released an album but I do have an old ½ inch tape with our first demos. Most of our songs ended up being WONDERboom songs anyway. Songs like Smile Pantsula, Jafta Rebel, Green Fever, She Cries, etc. And Moonchild… Hmmm… Someone's got a cassette of our demos somewhere. I'm not sure if they're worth digging up.
RC: Performing in Pieter Torien's Jesus Christ Superstar must have been quite an honour. How does it compare to the honour of playing in a Zeppelin tribute show?
C: Well, the pressure is definitely the same! People are passionate about Led Zep as much as people are about Jesus. That's for sure. Both a serious honour and equally daunting.
RC: Finally, what is your favourite Zeppelin lyric and why?
C: My favourite lyric has to be the one I can remember!! *laughs*.. Just kidding. It's funny. I'm so bad with making out what lyrics are in songs. Even with my favourite bands such as Led Zeppelin. In researching Led Zep's lyrics I realised that they're mostly about love, recreation, Vikings and Lord of The Rings. But my favourite lyric is from Immigrant Song. Another Viking lore; "How soft your fields so green. Can whisper tales of gore. Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords." So intimidating and hardcore.

Two-time Ballon d'Or holder Franz Beckenbauer has been named the global ambassador of the Football for Friendship forum, to be held in Madrid later this month. The German legend will meet the participants of the forum and, based on personal experiences, present case studies that are relevant to achieving high professional success for beginner-level athletes.
"It is a great honor to be a part of the Gazprom International Children's Social Programme Football for Friendship.

The events will take place within the framework of the Champions League final between Liverpool and Tottenham on June 1 at the Wanda Metropolitano.

High School Sports
Prep Roundup: Atascadero Greyhounds edge Paso Robles Bearcats in the pool despite the rain
The Atascadero High boys water polo team defeated Paso Robles 9-8 on Tuesday in Paso Robles.
The teams played despite a driving rainstorm and wind gusts as high as 40 mph.
"Passes weren't as accurate, and the rain and wind caused our game clock to go out," Paso Robles coach Duane McRoy said. "It made it difficult for both (coaches) to coach properly and threw off our sub patterns."
Levi Adams scored a game-high five goals for Atascadero, including the game-winner with 33 seconds remaining after Paso Robles' Ata Bulgurlu tied the match with just over a minute remaining.
"It was your typical Atascadero-Paso Robles water polo game," McRoy said. "just back-and-forth action."
Bulgurlu finished with a team-high three goals for Paso Robles (10-11, 1-4 PAC 7), which got seven saves from goalie Dylan Grois.
Righetti 19, San Luis Obispo 6
The Tigers (3-2 PAC 7) got two goals from Jackson Allison but trailed 9-3 at halftime.
Tommy Caffrey made four saves for San Luis Obispo.
Arroyo Grande 3, Nipomo 0
The Eagles beat Nipomo 25-10, 25-11, 25-10 in a PAC 7 match.
Rachel Ventura had eight kills, two blocks and two aces for Arroyo Grande, and Nicole Leger added five kills and two aces.
Maddi Ventura had 15 digs and two aces for Arroyo Grande (15-2, 6-0 PAC 7), and Maggie Jo Keffury added three aces and 23 assists.
Paso Robles 3, San Luis Obispo 2
Paso Robles defeated San Luis Obispo 22-25, 25-22, 21-25, 25-21, 15-11 in a PAC 7 match.
Maritza Juarez had 11 kills and three blocks for the Bearcats (5-1 PAC 7), and Holly Brooks added seven kills and two blocks.
Beth Hoyt had 15 kills and 17 digs, for San Luis Obispo (7-7, 2-3 PAC 7), and Elizabeth Culpepper added 11 kills.
Kennedy Peters had 22 assists for the Tigers, and Brianna Mallory added 25 digs.
Morro Bay 3, Templeton 1
The Pirates defeated the Eagles 25-18, 25-13, 25-17, 25-22 in a Los Padres League match.
Ciara Ramos had 21 kills for Morro Bay (4-2 LPL), and Kylie Gacad added 36 assists.
Morro Bay's Monica Santiago had 25 digs to help get the win.
Atascadero at Coast Union
The match was cancelled because of high wind advisories.
Coastal Christian at Shandon
Coastal Christian's match at Shandon was postponed because of a power outage. No makeup date has been announced.
Thursday's cross country meet at Fairbanks Memorial Course at Cuesta College has been moved to Nipomo High School.
All of the day's girls tennis matches were rained out.
Coast Union's match against Mission Prep was postponed. No makeup date has been determined yet.Atascadero's match against Paso Robles has been postponed to Friday, as was the Righetti at San Luis Obispo match.The Templeton at Morro Bay match was postponed to Monday.

Interview by Claudia Poppe, Augustin
In Vienna, I move between Meidling, Praterstern and Schottentor. I live in Meidling, I work at Praterstern and I study near Schottentor. I'm in my second semester of study for my master's degree in sociology.
Besides me, there is one other black female student, from Tanzania. I did my bachelor's degree in Nigeria, which is where I grew up and where my family still lives. I wanted to become a university lecturer, but things happened that forced me to leave. That's why I made my way – a difficult one – in 2010 to Europe. That was a good decision. I had never heard of Austria before then.
I can't say that I miss Nigeria itself, but I miss my son. He will be 15 in April, and I haven't had him with me for ages. Once my asylum application is finally settled, I would like to see him again.
I've been selling Augustin for four years now. A friend told me about it and took me with him to register at the office. In the beginning, I could hardly imagine myself doing this work – there's a whole lot of standing around. But I had to earn money – you have to live off of something – and so I got used to it. The first couple of months I was in Ottakring, but that wasn't my place. There was simply not much traffic there.
After a colleague suggested it, I moved to Praterstern, and I have to say, I love working here. The clients are always very, very kind, and I've become friends with some of them over the years. God bless every single one of them! I sell from Monday to Friday, as much as my studies will allow, and I haven't had any bad experiences during the entire time. No, really, I am very happy to be here.
When I'm not working and not at the university, I'm mostly at home. I'm an indoor girl! For the first year, I lived in a home for asylum-seekers in Greifenstein. It was also very beautiful there. I've never swum in the Danube! I don't like swimming. But I really like to listen to music, most of all entirely alone in my room. I like to listen to Christian music as much as hip hop. I go to church and read a lot, above all for my studies. I don't have time for other reading.
"I have to say, I love working here. Really, I am very happy to be here."
When I got my bachelor's degree many years ago, everything was done manually. Now the whole system is electronic – registering for lectures, for tests, even the discussions with the lecturers are done online. I had to get used to that in the beginning. I also had to get used to the accents of the white lecturers! Their English is a lot different than the English black people speak. So I really had to listen carefully to understand everything.
As soon as I finish my master's degree, I would like to get my PhD. After that, we'll see where I can work. But I'm not worried about that. Sociologists are needed everywhere!

Sept-Dec 2012 campaign winners include a disaster-prone celebrity, a wimpy kid and Venetian foodies
At a packed BMS Meeting held last week (Feb 21st) in Bloomsbury's beautiful new offices in Bedford Square, the winners of the Best Marketing Campaign Awards for September-December 2012 were announced. The winners in the three categories – Adults, Children's and Shoestring – were:
Adult winner:
Is It Just Me?, by Miranda Hart
Marketer: Vickie Boff, Hodder
Hodder used the author to the best advantage, despite restricted access. They initiated an innovative Twitter campaign crowd-sourcing the general public's own embarrassing stories in response to the book and released these as a free ebook, No, It's Us Too a month ahead of publication, with embedded links to pre-order Is It Just Me? Nearly 90k were downloaded. They also released weekly themed videos through Telegraph.co.uk and Twitter; the Christmas video was viewed over 48k times. This was clearly the Christmas No. 1 celebrity book – and a genuine bestseller.
Children's winner
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: the Third Wheel, by Jeff Kinney
Marketers: Vanessa Godden and Julia Teece, Puffin
Puffin has certainly not rested on their laurels – this campaign was another notch up from the last one (which also won a BMS Award). The team pre-tested the story line to see how readers responded; the campaign built on these responses and resulted in nearly 80k views of the trailer, 28k new fans recruited and a 23% growth in sales.
Shoestring campaign winner:
POLPO: A Venetian Cookbook (of sorts)
Marketer: Alice Shortland, Bloomsbury
This book benefited from the genuine engagement of Waterstones booksellers, resulting in their voting it the Waterstones Book of the Year 2012; strong targeting of a foodie audience which managed to turn restaurant customers into book buyers; great competitions for the potential audience, and amazing sales and ROI.
Four campaigns were also highly commended:
A Casual Vacancy by JK Rowling
- Marketers: Charlie King, Helen Gibbs and the Marketing team at Little, Brown Book Group
The team delivered a hugely effective campaign within very tight guidelines set by the author and the need for complete confidentiality. They provided genuine support across the whole range of retailers, particularly independents, as well as the library sector. The result was a truly global campaign, with strong collaboration round the world, resulting in strong branding, awareness – and sales.
Big Questions for Little People by Gemma Elwin Harris
- Marketers: Susan Holmes & Silvia Novak, Faber & Faber
A brilliantly integrated campaign, including partnerships with Mumsnet and Heart FM plus NSPCC. Great Twitter campaign using an infographic as a highly visual and arresting image resulted in really impressive sales on a tight budget.
Dork Diaries: Dear Dork by Rachel Renne Russell
- Marketer: Kat McKenna, Simon & Schuster
The judges were particularly impressed with the range of partnership eg win a day as a journalist at Pop Girl magazine competition which worked hard – and successfully – to establish this new series in the mind of the target audience.
Unknown Pleasures: Inside Joy Division by Peter Hook
- Marketers: Dawn Burnett & Owen Davies, Simon & Schuster
This was a very targeted promotion with lots of limited editions and lots of collectibles for the diehard fans, with strong sales through HMV – aided by free CD – the production of which avoided need for self-promotion.
The winners were chosen from a list of nearly 30 submissions from members of the Book Marketing Society representing the cream of the Christmas books crop for 2012. They were judged by BMS officials (Jo Henry and Alastair Giles, Executive Directors, and Jon Slack, Development Manager) together with Dominic Gettins of European ad agency Havas, Hugh Salmon of the marketing and communications agency The Salmon Agency and Brand Republic blogger, Sam Missingham of The Bookseller magazine, and Gary Sheppard of Gardners, the leading UK wholesaler).

"Exactly The Vision We Need...."
"It is time we come alive to see that disunity in Christ robs the Church of its collective power. The change-makers of the future will be those who bring people together, and Designed For More give us exactly the vision we need to become the unifying leaders our world needs. Thank you Lucas and Mike for diving into this much needed conversation."
— Tyler Reagin, President of Catalyst and author of Life-Giving Leader
"Don't miss this book."
"As long as followers of Christ stay in their comfortable silos and tribes, the world will never experience the full power of the Church. Designed For More gives us a beautifully memorable and practical way forward to become the united body of Christ. Don't miss this book."
— Mark Batterson, New York Times best selling author of The Circle Maker and Lead Pastor of National Community Church
"Designed For More brilliantly draws applicational truth from a rare phenomenon in the sky to everyday life in community."
— David Nasser, Author, Pastor and Senior Vice President at Liberty University
"Expand Your Mindset..."
"The spaces that separate people, communities, and cultures exist because of the historical patterns that shape our approach to one another. My friends Lucas and Mike guide us in expanding our mindsets into singular formations that eliminate the warfare of separation."
-Fred Oduyoye, Founder of Reachable Reconciliation
"The World Is Waiting..."
"The world is waiting for the church to come together and be the interconnected movement that best offers God's love and grace to all. Designed for More offers you and I what we need: a compelling vision for why unity matters and practical steps for us to move forward."
― Kara Powell, PhD, Executive Director of the Fuller Youth Institute and co-author of Growing Young
"What A Book!"
"Few books inspire me to a second read. Not so with Designed For More. What a book! Lucas and Mike frame a picture of the beauty and power of the Kingdom: thousands of starlings in a sky ballet. Through biblical exegesis, science and years of experience, they chart a path to wholeness and redemptive power. I love it. Quite simply, it makes me want to grab the hands of a band of friends and say, 'Let's fly!'"
- Dick Foth, Author, Dick and Ruth Foth, Known: Finding Deep Friendships In A Shallow World.
"Ministry Tested Action Steps..."
"To take a phrase from the latter part of Designed for More, this book is fused with 'radical optimism'. But don't mistake radical optimism for sentimental idealism. These pages give us a frank account of the challenges we face in being the unified Body of Christ. But, they also call us to practical, ministry-tested action steps that we can take as pastors, youth pastors, teachers and followers of the Lord who prayed that we "might be one as [He] and the Father are one". What in the world would happen if we read this book and took seriously it's splendid, big-dream invitation?"
— Duffy Robbins, Author and Professor of Christian Ministry, Grove City College
"This Message Is Not About Compromising..."
"A lot of us talk about the importance of unity, but few of us are given a practical guidebook of how to work towards unity. Lucas and Mike help expand the view of our flock, with the urgency unity requires. This message is not about compromising, this is about working past our fragmented and fractured 'playgrounds' for the unity God demands and desires for each of us."
- Esther Fleece, speaker and author of No More Faking Fine.
"It Will Awaken You..."
"This is no time for soft and isolated Kingdom work. These are post-Christian times and none of us is as good as more of us - in unity. Designed For More will awaken you again to Jesus' call to unity and give you the lens we all need for intentionally shaping collaborative Kingdom initiatives."
- Dr. Larry Acosta, Founder and CEO Urban Youth Workers Institute
"I Feel More Empowered Than Ever..."
"After reading Designed for More, I feel more empowered than ever to implement change in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. When viewing the diverse church organizations and denominations, it seems impossible to unify our efforts toward achieving the goal of working as a unified body of Christ. Using the simple starlings and their murmuration as an example, God shows us, through his creation, how to do his work by unifying individuals into a cohesive and effective unit. Designed For More not only identifies our underachieving of God's goals but clearly lays out a game plan for each of us to get back on track. Great book and let's get started!"
- Rich Seban, Former CEO Hostess
"A Fresh Look At An Old Problem..."
"Real change will come when we take the first step of changing the way we think." Lucas Ramirez and Mike DeVito provide a fresh look at an old problem … the lack of unity among the Christian church. They do this by confronting head on the thinking that pulls the church apart and then provide clear pathways to drawing us back together for the sake of God's kingdom."
-Brian L. Cress, Director of Denomination and Youth Mobilization INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE MISSION
"Every Chapter Brought Inspiration..."
"I loved this book! Every chapter brought inspiration and hope. It caused me to crave the deeper unity that only Christ can give."
- Jim Burns, PhD. President, HomeWord and Author of Understanding Your Teenager and The Purity Code
"God Granted Purpose..."
"In these hurried days of the toos—too little time, too little joy, and too little love from my foes, friends, and self—Designed for More brought me back towards my God-granted peace and purpose."
—Ron Kitchens, Senior Partner, Southwest Michigan First
"I Didn't Think I Had To Be Moved..."
"I am an enthusiastic collaborator. Advocating for unity is the song I want to sing as a member of the choir. So, I was honestly surprised at how much this book moved me; I didn't think I had to be moved! "Murmuration" is a brilliant metaphor for how God's people can practice tactical routines of faithfulness that result in unity. Jesus Christ, the Word of Creation, reveals his awe-inspiring design skills in the beautiful movements of starlings. Now, may Jesus, the Head of his Church, choreograph our dance together for his resounding glory in the world!"
- Dr. Dave Rahn, Senior Ministry Advisor, Youth for Christ USA
"A Flair of Passion, Inspiration and Insight..."

Wells Fargo
Brand Soundscapes
Wells Fargo partnered with NPM Creative to produce stories about organizations supporting people and communities across the country.
In a series of three Brand Soundscapes, Wells Fargo's non-profit partners and staff share stories from their work on the ground and about how the company's support has helped them achieve their goals. NPR listeners heard from United Way, which partners with Wells Fargo to improve financial literacy in underserved communities; SkateMD, which provides skateboarding clinics to children with special needs; and Coalfield Development Corporation, which strengthens Appalachian economies by retraining local industry workers in green energy sectors.
On NPR.org, 1 in 5 people who listened to the Coalfield Soundscape clicked through to Wells Fargo's website.

With a looming Canada Post strike in Toronto, we were inspired to think about one of the most basic design formats: the postage stamp.
In its small size, a postage stamp remains one of the most telling forms of a designer's understanding of the principles and elements of graphic design.
A stamp commonly features a host of information, including: denomination and currency, country name, the date and an image, all within a square inch (give or take).
Noted as one of the world's most collected things, stamps, are an amazing archival tool. They are a medium for countries to capture and communicate timely events and showcase local talent.
Graphilately, a special project by graphic designer Blair Thomson, is a curation of some of the best stamp designs in Canada and abroad. His 80K followers prove that stamps remain an important part of a collective culture and that good design is timeless.
In Canada, there is an official selection process for stamp design, led by a national Stamp Advisory Committee, governed by the Stamp Selection Policy. Canada Post welcomes all Canadians to participate in proposing stamp subjects and designs. We love this set of proposed stamps, designed by Dale Nigel Goble out of Vancouver, BC, in 2013. After collecting postage stamps from international iconic artists and designers, Dale says he wanted to "create a fun and energetic stamp collection that would represent Canada in a more modern style than a lot of postage artwork currently available in Canada."
Canada's first postage stamp featured a beaver and was designed by Sir Sanford Fleming (timezone brainchild) in 1851, with a cost of 3 pence. The stamp is currently on display at the Canadian Museum of History, in Gatineau, Quebec, as part of their permanent Canadian Stamp Collection exhibit. Thanks to a partnership with Canada Post, the exhibit continues to grow with the release of each new stamp.
At Snack, we are within walking distance to another piece of postal history: Toronto's first post office. We are hoping the details are sorted out in time for regular mail to carry on nationwide!

Sith Acolyte Robe Costume In Several Sizes
Sith Acolyte robe
The stats for this robe were downloaded off the 501st web site for accuracy. Red hem stripe = 3 inches, middle black stripe = 2 inches and the upper red stripe = 1 inch according to the stats.
The hood has no seams in the center front and is doubled which means lined with the same fabric for that clean finished look. Is attached to the robe from the center front below the neckline several inches and is pleated along the seam all the way to the center back.
The sleeves come below the elbow as seen in the pictures, however for some of these details after purchase I will ask for few measurements such as the sleeve length, your height, weight and shoulder size - measured from shoulder to shoulder.
This robe seams to go over the armor, so please keep this in mind when ordering the costume part. The armor has bulk to it when on a body. Which means you will need few extra inches to accommodate the armor.
Material: wool blend = black and wool crepe = red stripes
Style: A-line
Hood: 22 inches down your back, is deep to accommodate the hood fabric resting on your shoulders as seen in the pictures when on your head. However, the length of the hood also depends on your height. If you are shorter/petite, I will accommodate the length of the hood for the height of your body so that it is correctly proportioned.
This hood size is best suited for folks who are 5'9" and taller, for shorter sizes I will alter the hood pattern for the proper fit.
Explanation: (for example if you are 5 feet tall you cannot have a 22 inch hood because the hood will come down below your waistline so in that case the hood must be smaller/shorter,adjusted to your height for proper fit otherwise it will be too big.)

Yesterday, Egypt renewed its request for the British Museum to return the prized Rosetta stone to its country of origin. "It would be great to have the Rosetta Stone back in Egypt, but this is something that will still need a lot of discussion and cooperation."The British Museum, which hosts the stone as its most valuable possession, has long been reluctant to return it. Rediscovered during Napoleon's 1798 campaign to Egypt, the stone acquired its name from its location near the Egyptian City of "Rashid", known in the west as "Rosetta". It was transferred to British possession following France's defeat against the Brits and Ottomans in 1801, and finally, held in the British Museum since June 1802. Hawas instead suggested in 2005 that Britain loan the stone to Egypt for three months, to which Britain refused.

You're hunkered over your computer, fingers poised on the keyboard, struggling for the right phrase that will make your report a winner. Hold on, it's coming, just concentrate ...
Time for a coffee break.
You head to the kitchen, where a co-worker takes 10 minutes to regale you with the tale of his new riding lawn mower.
Is this a much-needed break, or just wasting time?
Employees admit in a new survey to frittering away an average of 1.7 hours of an 8.5-hour work day.
If you find that figure shocking, look at it this way: It's down from the 1.86 hours a day people said they wasted on average last year, and the 2.09 hours the year before. These findings are from Salary.com's third annual Wasting Time Survey, to which 2,000 AOL and Salary.com users replied online.
So are we saying that workers are starting to see the light? Not necessarily, says Bill Coleman, chief compensation officer at Salary.com. Actually, an improving economy and faster-paced business environment are most likely decreasing workers' need to kvetch, along with their downtime, he says. "As workflow increases, wasted time decreases.''
What some employers might call wasting time, though, could be a valuable battery recharger that helps workers clear their minds and refocus on their work, said Dana A. Boyd, CEO of the International Center for Leadership and Coaching in Savannah.
"If you take a break, go for a walk, it's planned, it gives you something to look forward to," Boyd said. "It allows you to get away from the projects at hand, be a little more creative. Even just the physical movement, the different pace in breathing, can make a difference. It allows you to focus. It's just like when you try real hard to do something, and you can't do it. If you take a break and come back to it, you'll find the task easier to do."
Work-related interruptions are a big source of non-personal time wasting, Boyd said. "Fires" that need to be put out, phone calls from vendors, the constant ding of incoming e-mail. All these things break a worker's concentration.
"It all boils down to a balancing act, really," Boyd said.
Younger workers (those in the 20-to-29-year-old group) admit to frittering away the most time (an average of 2.1 hours per day) followed by 30-somethings, with an average of 1.9 hours. People in their 40s would seem to be the most virtuous, admitting to an average of only 1.4 hours of wasted time a day.
Newsday reporter Patricia Kitchen contributed to this report.

Personal Growth & Counseling
Individual counseling sessions increase self-awareness, self-responsibility, and self-love. We explore the role of our inner teacher and how to listen through empowerment, integration, and embodiment.
While based on the foundations of theories and applications of Body Psychotherapy, my work is deeply intuitive in nature. I listen in the moment to the needs of the individual and what is alive for them. As a non-judgemental witness my goal is to provide a place for you to reconnect to your wholeness, radiance, essence, and light.
I often lead clients through grounding exercised and visualizations, helping them to come back to their bodies in a safe way, and help them process how their current struggles can be in part an opportunity for growth and empowerment.
Some of the themes I often discuss with clients include (but are not limited to): teaching resourcing and self-care practices, how to connect to your deeper needs and to feelings of worthiness, psycho-education, how to ask for what you want and how to set healthy boundaries.
What is Authentic Movement?
Authentic Movement is a body-referenced and movement-centered awareness practice in which there is a mover (client) and a witness (therapist). With eyes closed, the mover listens to, and follows an inner impulse to move in the presence of an accepting witness. Movement may arise from sensation, image, memory, thought, and/or direct experience. This practice supports individuals to align with and move their essential truth in the presence of another, strengthening their ability to track embodied experience, and practicing self-referencing speech as a means to bring consciousness to their body's wisdom.
How is Authentic Movement integrated in your sessions?
To me Authentic Movement is also a way of being in life and in relationship. It shows up as the home base I come back to in every session, whether or not we are doing the specific practice. This means that even in a more traditional talk-therapy session I am orienting toward a deep awareness of the body and imagination, holding you with the non-judgemental stance of the Witness, and offering my perspective in a way that is not assuming and that honors your truth and your wisdom. I track emerging unconscious material and weave it into our session and reflect it a way that is readily digestible.
What other Authentic Movement opportunities do you offer?
I also offer Authentic Movement groups and trainings for facilitators.

15.23: Some Mathematical Results
- Page ID
- 8476
Before proceeding with the next section, I just want to establish few mathematical results, so that we don't get bogged down in heavy algebra later on when we should be concentrating on understanding physics.
First, if
\[ \gamma=\left(1-\frac{u^{2}}{c^{2}}\right), \label{15.23.1}\]
Then, by trivial differentiation,
\[ \frac{d\gamma}{du}=\frac{\gamma^{3}u}{c^{2}}. \label{15.23.2}\]
\[ \dot{\gamma}=\frac{\gamma^{3}u\dot{u}}{c^{2}}. \label{15.23.3}\]
From this, we quickly find that
\[ \frac{\gamma u\dot{u}}{\dot{\gamma}}=c^{2}-u^{2}. \label{15.23.4}\]
Now for a small result concerning a scalar (dot) product.
Let A be a vector such that A * A = \( A^{2}\).
\( \frac{d}{dt}(A^{2})=2A\dot{A}\) and \( \frac{d}{dt}(\bf{A\cdot A})=2A\cdot\dot{A}\)
\[ A\cdot\dot{A}=A\dot{A} \label{15.23.6}\]
We can now safely proceed to the next section.

The Link REIT is seeking redress for damage to its reputation arising from a report that it has been renting out car parking spaces to non-residents in the housing estates it manages.
The company said it will issue a lawyer's letter to FactWire which made the allegations in an investigative report. It said it reserves the right to take legal action.
FactWire said it had visited more than 190 of the company's car parks that offer hourly parking and found that the Link had not restricted the use of about 14,500 hourly parking spaces to residents only.
Under current regulations, the company would need to pay a fee in exchange for a waiver on the lease conditions, which the Link REIT may have avoided paying, FactWire reported. The amount involved could reach HK$163 million.
"The report's allegation that Link has paid a waiver fee for one case only is farthest from the truth," the company said in a press release.
It said that there were 93 applications for temporary waivers approved by the Lands Department in relation to car parks as of September 2017.
The majority of these involve changing the numbers and types of parking spaces to be provided, and allowing some parking spaces to be used by non-residents of the respective estates or by those not specified in the land leases, the company said.
The Link REIT said FactWire's report "shows an ill-informed understanding of car park operations and management".
It said the company's management of car parks "is in line with industry practices adopted by most car parks in Hong Kong".

Visibility and control to defeat advanced attacks.
Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) is a comprehensive solution that enables malware detection and blocking, continuous analysis, and retrospective alerting. It uses the vast cloud security intelligence networks of both Cisco and Sourcefire (now part of Cisco).
Available in Azure Stack and VM Ware
- Global threat intelligence
Our experts analyse millions of malware samples and terabytes of data per day and push that intelligence to AMP. AMP then correlates files, telemetry data, and file behavior against this context-rich knowledge base to proactively defend against known and emerging threats.
- Advanced sandboxing
Advanced sandboxing capabilities perform automated static and dynamic analysis of files against more than 700 behavioral indicators. These analyses uncover stealthy threats and help your security team understand, prioritise, and block sophisticated attacks.
- Point-in-time malware detection and blocking
Block malware trying to enter your network in real time. Using AV detection engines, one-to-one signature matching, machine learning, and fuzzy fingerprinting, AMP analyses files at point of entry to catch known and unknown malware. The result? Faster time to detection and automatic protection.
- Continuous analysis and retrospective security
Once a file enters your network, AMP continues to watch, analyse, and record its activity, regardless of the file's disposition. If malicious behavior is spotted later, AMP sends your security team a retrospective alert that tells them where the malware came from, where it's been, and what it's doing. In a few clicks, you can contain and remediate it.

The seemingly neverending project of converting our back porch into a playroom has finally come to an end...well, for now at least. My dad and his crew did the actual conversion; Griff caulked and painted the inside and outside. You should know that I attempted to help with the caulking, and it did not go well. Griff had to run out to get something, and Izzy was asleep, so I thought I would be a good wife and pick up where he left off. I ended up texting him the picture below with the message, "Umm...is this supposed to happen?"
Operation Good Wife was quickly shut down thereafter. However, I was allowed to help with the interior painting. Lucky me. Aside from painting, an A/C vent, carpet, and a celing fan had to be installed (all of which we relied heavily on Dad's help), furniture had to be purchased and put together, blinds and curtains had to be hung, etc. It ended up being a slightly bigger project than we anticipated, but I think it turned out cute, and I have my living room back, so I'm a happy mama. Check out Izzy's new digs.
|Probably the last time it will look this nice.
|Curtains from Target.com
|Bookcase, numbered bins, and glass jars (that I will fill with crayons and blocks) from Ikea, cubes from Target. Framed poster was in my old classroom, and I was storing it in the attic. Yay for hoarding!
|Original door to our living room. We left the door on - it's just open. The new back door heads out to the deck.
|Table, chairs, and toy, all from Ikea
|Toybox and bins from Ikea - did I mention we like Ikea??
|Not sure what I'm going to put in these, but they sure are cute!
|From Target. Me likey.
|All the babies, snug as bugs.
Some pictures of the transformation:
There is still a list of things that need to be finished and touched up, but for now we are calling it done. I think the real daddy in our house might go missing if he doesn't get a break from this room for awhile. Oh, and by the way...the room that we stayed up until 1:00 am cleaning and organizing last night looked like this about 2.5 seconds after Izzy woke up this morning. Such is life with a toddler.

Commissioned by the Hallé Concert Society. 'As soon as I read Christopher Reid's collection of children's poems Alphabicycle Order I wanted to set them to music. The poems play on words in, as you might expect, alphabetical order, ranging from the sinister (the menacing Vumpire, a cross between an umpire and a vampire) to absurd (the Umbrellaphant, half elephant, half umbrella) with plenty of room for humour, and a little sentiment thrown in for good measure. We meet with Cluckworth chickens, the newly discovered country of Eyeland, an Iciclist, the fabulous liarbird and the very superior Queen Bean. I've hugely enjoyed writing these 26 numbers, and hope they'll be fun to sing, shout, play and also speak.' Written for narrator, children's chorus, and the Hallé, the work lasts around half an hour. © Colin Matthews 2007

Back in April, it was revealed Dean Gaffney was going to be making a full-time return to EastEnders , 14 years after his character left for a new life in India.
The actor, 39, was last seen in Walford as loveable Robbie two years ago, when he briefly appeared as part of the farewell plot for his mum Carol, played by Lindsey Coulson.
But recently he returned for good, with a new job as the Albert Square market manager.
And while many fans of the BBC soap assumed he'd be accompanied by his faithful mutt, Wellard II, who replaced the original Wellard after his death on screen in 2015, the dog was nowhere to be seen.
But in last night's episode, Sonia Fowler revealed the devastating news the dog was no more.
Speaking to her grandma Dot Cotton, she said: "Robbie lost Wellard II a while back!"
EastEnders viewers were devastated by this news, taking to Twitter to vent their frustration.
One said: "Oh no, Wellard II died as well."
Another added: "It's not right Robbie being back on the Square without a dog. Bring on Wellard the Third!"
A third sobbed: "Aww I miss Wellard."
Will EastEnders bosses be good enough to give Robbie a third incarnation of his beloved pooch?
*EastEnders continues on BBC One on Thursday at 7.30pm
