text: Seven-colored Tanager is a brilliantly colored small bird with a turquoise green head, bright blue underparts, a black back, and bright orange lower back and rump. Within its restricted range in northeastern Brazil, Seven-colored Tanager can be found in forest and bushy second growth, searching for fruits and seeds. Due to its overall rarity, very little information is known on this species breeding biology. Often kept as a cage bird, this species also suffers from habitat loss and habitat conversion. Captive birds have been released back into the wild, but due to its restricted range and small, fragmented population, which is believed to be in decline, the IUCN Red List conservation status of Seven-colored Tanager is assessed as Vulnerable.

North Korea 'faces destruction if it continues with nuclear weapons programme'
President Donald Trump mocked the leader of nuclear-armed North Korea as "Rocket Man" as the White House warned the isolated nation would face destruction unless it shelves its weapons programs and bellicose threats.
Mr Trump's chief diplomat held out hope the North would return to the bargaining table, though the president's envoy to the United Nations said the Security Council had "pretty much exhausted" all its options.
Kim Jong Un has pledged to continue the North's programs, saying his country is nearing its goal of "equilibrium" in military force with the United States.
North Korea will be high on the agenda for world leaders this week at the annual meeting of the UN General Assembly, Mr Trump's biggest moment on the world stage since his inauguration in January.
He is scheduled to address the world body, which he has criticised as weak and incompetent, on Tuesday.
The president, who spent the weekend at his New Jersey golf club, tweeted that he and South Korean President Moon Jae-in discussed North Korea during their latest telephone conversation on Saturday.
Asked about Mr Trump's description of Kim, national security adviser H.R. McMaster said "Rocket Man" was "a new one and I think maybe for the president".
But, he said, "that's where the rockets are coming from. Rockets, though, we ought to probably not laugh too much about because they do represent a great threat to all".
Mr McMcaster said Kim is "going to have to give up his nuclear weapons because the president has said he's not going to tolerate this regime threatening the United States and our citizens with a nuclear weapon".
Asked if that meant Mr Trump would launch a military strike, he said: "He's been very clear about that, that all options are on the table."
Kim has threatened Guam, a US territory in the Pacific, and has fired missiles over Japan, a US ally. North Korea also recently tested its most powerful bomb.
The UN Security Council has voted unanimously twice in recent weeks to tighten economic sanctions on North Korea, including targeting shipments of oil and other fuel used in missile testing.
Mr Trump's UN ambassador, Nikki Haley, said North Korea was starting to "feel the pinch".
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said he was waiting for the North to express interest in "constructive, productive talks".
"All they need to do to let us know they're ready to talk is to just stop these tests, stop these provocative actions, and let's lower the threat level and the rhetoric," he said.
But Ms Haley warned of a tougher US response to future North Korean provocations, and said she would be happy to turn the matter over to Defence Secretary Jim Mattis "because he has plenty of military options".
Mr Mattis said after Kim tested a hydrogen bomb earlier this month that the US would answer any threat from the North with a "massive military response, a response both effective and overwhelming".
Mr Trump has threatened to rain "fire and fury" on North Korea if the North continued with its threats.
Ms Haley added: "If North Korea keeps on with this reckless behaviour, if the United States has to defend itself or defend its allies in any way, North Korea will be destroyed and we all know that and none of us want that.
"None of us want war. But we also have to look at the fact that you are dealing with someone who is being reckless, irresponsible and is continuing to give threats not only to the United States, but to all their allies, so something is going to have to be done."

Federal government-Appointed Entire body Acknowledges Crypto
The Law Fee of India not long ago published a report on the lawful framework for gambling and sports activities betting in India. The one hundred forty-website page report explains that gambling is described as the act of "wagering or betting on online games of opportunity but does not contain betting or wagering on online games of talent." Wagering and betting are subsequently described as "the staking of income or digital currency [VC], no matter whether or not it is equivalent to a recognized currency."
The fee was founded by the order of the Indian governing administration to advise them on lawful reforms. It was requested by the country's supreme courtroom in July 2016 to take a look at if betting should really be legalized in India.
According to the report:
The challenge of on the web gambling has even further been worsened by the rise in recognition and relieve of availability of VC, a form of digital income.
The fee mentioned that gambling with cryptocurrencies "pushes even the on the web gambling market place underground, and pretty typically, out of the access of the law enforcement authorities."
When proposing that "stringent law(s) should really be set in location to handle overseas direct investment and at the identical time, to reduce income laundering, whilst also implementing required tax reforms," the fee wrote in the report's conclusions and tips part:
Similar limits should really also be approved for the reason of the quantity 1 would be authorized to stake whilst using digital income services of the likes of credit playing cards, debit playing cards, web-banking, VCs, etcetera.
The report also states that "gambling transactions should really be produced cashless, building use of digital signifies of payment this sort of as credit playing cards, debit playing cards, web-banking, digital currencies (VC – also regarded as cryptocurrency), etcetera."
Implication of the Law Commission's Report
The report also cites the April six circular issued by the Indian central lender, the Reserve Lender of India (RBI), banning banks from giving expert services to crypto companies.
Last 7 days, the Indian supreme courtroom heard some petitions relating to crypto regulation and the RBI ban. When the crypto community was hopeful that the courtroom would hear all the petitions and potentially even grant a short term remain on the RBI ban, the courtroom reportedly did not hear all the situations and proceeded to set the closing hearing date to September eleven, enabling time for RBI and other regulators included to answer to the petition.
Commenting on the law commission's proposal, Nischal Shetty, CEO of crypto exchange Wazirx, explained to Quartz:
It is the to start with time that a human body appointed by the governing administration has provided recognition to digital currencies that they have value and can be utilised for a transaction … As a result, it is a pretty constructive indicator, specifically thinking about the report has occur out following a large amount of deliberation.
Tuhina Joshi, an associate at lawful company TRA Law which signifies quite a few crypto exchanges, was quoted by the publication, "the law fee suggests that regulating gambling is preferable to an outright ban. This is the identical argument we are building in context of cryptocurrencies."

Take a look inside this fully furnished and beautifully restored home at 3905 Paria Ridge Road in Atlanta, Ga. The luxury home sits on two acres of property. Each spacious room has a stunning view of the pool as well as the surrounding wooded area. Every room also has access to the newly designed pool deck.
The entire residence was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright's protégé, Robert Green, one of Atlanta's experts of modern architecture. Guests of the Midsummer Modern event were treated to what seemed like a gorgeous art gallery as they sipped rosé and viewed masterpieces from acclaimed artists like Harry Bertoia, George Nelson, Hugh Acton, Eero Saarinen, Herman Miller, Russel Wright, Pablo Picasso, Joan Miro, Ian Tyson, Salvador Dali, Paul Taylor, Tapio Wirkkala, Hendrik Van Keppel and Taylor Green. Visitors also listened to music by DJ Xzact.
Frank Lloyd Wright's great-granddaughter, designer Melissa Galt, was the special guests at this year's event. Galt is a designer with Burns Century, an independent design consultant based in Atlanta. The event was hosted by Debra Johnston, Luxury Real Estate Specialist with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Luxury Collection.
"The home is a mid-century masterpiece brought back to life and style by designer Burns Century in a thoughtful and thorough renovation. From the moment you step inside you feel a sense of calm and connection. The organic materials of stone, slate, river rock and expanses of glass truly bring the outdoors in and the geometry of the skylights creates a dance of light and shadow that is mesmerizing. While an open plan, it doesn't suffer the challenges of many homes today that seem to be all one room. Instead, the living room is a step down from the dining, and the kitchen is just out of sight though not closed off by a door. There is an inviting flow and wonderful feeling of privacy and even mystery in the master bedroom wing. Additional bedrooms and baths are on the opposite side of the house, the perfect balance. It's a house that welcomes one or one hundred with equal ease and doesn't inform how you live as much as it accommodates and compliments your life," said Galt.
The real estate team invited their Instagram giveaway winners to the special gathering. The winners indulged in a private catered dinner from Dennis Dean. They helped themselves to Hoisin Glazed Salmon Filet and Local Georgia Peach Caprese Salad. For dessert, they enjoyed a Fig and Almond Tart.

World Trade Center
Ever since I can remember, I have been happiest while drawing and painting. Exploring shapes, positioning them with the magic of color and line, has been an obsession of mine for a long time. My excitement builds when the sights and sounds of the streets of New York City come into play. For over 20 years, I have been escorting tourists from other countries, as well as native New Yorkers, to The World Trade Towers and Financial Center. The expressions of awe on their faces show me time and again, just how amazing the sight is. Their open expressions burn in my eyes right now.
More recently, I was delighted to take tour groups to The Riverside Church all the way uptown on 125th Street and Riverside Drive. After the tour of the magnificent church, we were invited up to the 20th floor. What was the attraction? It was the stunning view, on the most beautiful day imaginable, of The World Trade Towers, majestically anchoring Lower Manhattan with their regal posture and height! That day's excitement lives on in my heart today.
I will forever miss those magnificent towers. In better times I have searched for them, to help direct me, finding comfort in their presence. I will search longingly for them-morning, noon and night. Pictures of the skyline only show me what is missing, my compass -'my World Trade Towers. * Accompanying this article are drawings on paper with colored pencil and pastel. Each image is 20" X 25"
The drawings express my love for The World Trade Towers, strictly from a visual point of view, setting aside my personal political views. They represent the repeated images shown over and over again on the television, which will most likely remain emblazoned inside my head for the rest of my life.

Copyright 2005 13 P2P – Towards a Technical Definition P2P is a network architecture in which each node is capable of performing each of the functions necessary to support the network and in practice many nodes do perform many of the functions
Copyright 2005 14 The Essential Nature of P2P In principle, Every Device is a Client and a Server In practice, Many Devices perform Server-functions Collaboration is inherent Clients can find Servers Single Points-of-Failure / Bottlenecks / Chokepoints are avoided by means of networking dynamics Enough Devices with Enough Resources participate as Servers for discovery, and as Servers for services 'Free-Riding' / 'Over-Grazing' of the 'Commons' is restrained through software and psych. features
Copyright 2005 15 Categories of P2P Pure Functions and objects are distributed across all nodes, so no one node is critical to the network's operation; so control is very difficult – USENET, Fidonet, Freenet, Gnutella(1) Compromised / Two-Tier Functions and objects are highly distributed; the index is substantially but not fully distributed – FastTrack, Gnutella(2) Hybrid Functions and objects are (highly?) distributed; the index is heirarchical (the DNS) or centralised (Napster, BitTorrent)
Copyright 2005 16 Why P2P Is Attractive Much-Reduced Dependence on individual devices and sub-networks (no central servers) Robustness not Fragility (no single point-of-failure) Resilience / Quick Recovery (inbuilt redundancy) Resistance to Denial of Service (D)DOS Attacks (no central servers) Much-Improved Scalability (proportionality) Improved Servicing of Highly-Peaked Demand (more devices on the demand-side implies there are also more server-resources)

Is Paul McCartney filming his new music video in Liverpool?
Film crews were spotted close to the Beatles legend's former home
Film crews spotted in Liverpool close to Paul McCartney's childhood home have sparked rumours that the former Beatles legend is filming his new music video in the city.
According to The Liverpool Echo, film crews were spotted in Garston, Liverpool, near the town's leisure centre which is near to where the Beatles legend grew up.
McCartney revisited the area and his childhood home recently as part of an episode of Carpool Karaoke with James Corden.
Film crews were also spotted in Liverpool on Inwood Road and Garston Park with shops in the area also being covered up for filming.
Meanwhile, speculation was rife on Twitter that the film crews were there for McCartney's new video.
McCartney has returned to his hometown frequently in recent weeks as part of the promotion for his upcoming album, 'Egypt Station'.
As well as filming an episode of Carpool Karaoke, the singer took part in a Q&A with Jarvis Cocker at LIPA – the performing arts school he founded – and performed a secret gig at the Cavern Club.
Speaking about the gig, NME said: "for nearly two hours, McCartney has had one drink of water and one towel-off. He's played a gig in the sweatiest, tiniest room possible…Paul McCartney heads on stage like he's got something to prove, every time, even here at The Cavern. He only proves one thing: we'll never see another like him."
Earlier this week, McCartney released the full track listing for his new album, out on September 7. The track list in full is:

Seed Support for Tribal Food Security, Sovereignty/
When Ed Spevak of the St. Louis Zoo's Center for Native Pollinator Conservation began working with the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska on issues of food sovereignty, food security, and pollinator health, he knew exactly where to turn for the heirloom corn, beans, and squash the Winnebago—part of the Ho-Chunk Nation—sought.
"I had personally been a member of Seed Savers Exchange for several years, and had toured the Heritage Farm facilities in 2014," he says. "I thought the mission of Seed Savers aligned perfectly with what the Winnebago Tribe and the Saint Louis Zoo were trying to accomplish with regard to food security and sovereignty."
So Ed dashed off an e-mail to the organization earlier this year: "Would Seed Savers Exchange be able to donate any seeds to the Winnebago?" he inquired.
That simple request triggered a swift response: Seed Savers Exchange donated 67 total pounds of seeds spanning five varieties: 'Glass Gem' corn, 'Johnson County White,' corn, 'Cherokee Trail of Tears' beans, 'Hidatsa Red,' beans and 'Waltham Butternut' squash.
(The Ho-Chunk are a Native-American people whose historic territory includes parts of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois. Today, Ho-Chunk people are enrolled in two federally recognized tribes, the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin and the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska.)
In mid-June, the tribe planted a five-acre parcel in Winnebago—part of Thurston County, Nebraska—with 'Johnson County White' corn. (The tribe, which will plant the other varieties next year, also shared some of the donated seed with the Omaha and Ponca tribes.) "We were delighted...shocked almost, at how well it did," says Ed.
In October the Ho-Chunk harvested close to 50 quarts of corn for use in corn soup for senior citizens as well as at memorials and funerals. "That corn is taken when the sugar is at its peak and blanched, the kernels removed from the cob and dried," says Ed. The tribe also harvested corn dried on the cob, which they then shucked and used for porridge as well as saved seed from for next year.
But the open-pollinated seeds donated by Seed Savers Exchange provided more than just fresh food and sustenance, says Hilery Spray of the Winnebago Tribe.
"Food defines us—it connects us from heaven to earth—and because traditional foods are unique to different native peoples, they play a huge role in what being Ho-Chunk means," she says."White corn is used ceremonially in the Native American Church as one of the foods that represent life, but lately no one has been growing this kind of corn, so to be able to grow it, through the wonderful generosity of Seed Savers Exchange, is a huge blessing for the Ho-Chunks."
Your support and donations are instrumental in sharing seeds with gardeners and communities. Become a member today so that seeds may be kept where they belong: in our gardens and on our tables, and around for generations to come.

Ten South Korean kindergartners were killed in a traffic accident in China on Tuesday, after a bus they were in caught fire, Seoul's Foreign Ministry said.
The accident took place at around 9 a.m. in Weihai, Shandong province, as the vehicle crashed into a garbage truck in front of them, catching fire while in a tunnel.
Twelve people aboard died, including a Chinese child and the Chinese bus driver, while a Chinese instructor was severely injured, the ministry said.
"We have dispatched eight officials from the consulate-general in Qingdao, including its chief, and are looking into further details of the accident," the ministry said in a statement, noting that the Weihai police were carrying out DNA tests to identify the victims.
Yonhap News Agency reported that the high number of casualties could be attributed to the door of the bus that could not be opened, citing a tip. Video footage purportedly taken by an eyewitness shows the door side of the burning bus obstructed by the tunnel wall.
|Reader contribution (Yonhap)
Shortly after the crash, then acting President and Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn expressed "deep regret," instructing the foreign and justice ministries to make the utmost efforts to handle the aftermath and assist the bereaved families residing there.
Meanwhile, criticism is rising in China after allegations surfaced that no other motorists offered to help, with some even taking pictures of the burning bus before driving from the scene.
Online news media outlet Phoenix reported video clips showed the tunnel filled with smoke and the bus left in a blaze, while other cars passed by. Multiple fire trucks were also seen struggling to get into the tunnel.
Yonhap News Agency also said the trucks took more than 10 minutes to arrive and begin fighting the fire, citing Chinese police authorities, embassy officials and witness testimony. The blaze was extinguished some 27 minutes after the accident, it said, adding at least a few more lives may have been saved if others helped to open the door from outside.

text: Following a lovely day on Friday, the weather has been very mixed for the last three days and the bad news is that we are in for more rain and strong winds throughout the night and a cloudy day tomorrow. Combined with a very severe wind-chill factor, it is certainly not spring weather! The good news, however, is that things are expected to improve from Wednesday onwards, with less wind, no rain and lots of sunshine. Here's hoping the forecasters have got it right!

Independent European consumer protection organization Euro NCAP awarded five stars to Volkswagen's smallest car, the up!. It also gave the 2011 Advanced Award to the City Emergency Braking function of the up! This award began in 2010. The up! got the best rating of any vehicle in its class, guaranteeing that children and adults both get excellent protection during an accident.
It also gets comprehensive safety features that include the optional City Emergency Braking, which is instantly activated at speeds between 5 and 30 km/ h.
A laser sensor (incorporated in the upper area of the windscreen) is used to scan a space as long as 10 metres in front of the up! to detect the risk of a collision. The emergency braking function may lessen the severity of an accident through automatic brake intervention. This also helps prevent a collision.
So far, the up! is the only car in its segment that has the City Emergency Braking function. It already received the first place in car registration statistics by the German Federal Motor Transport Authority.
The up! comes in two engine configurations (44 kW / 60 PS and 55 kW / 75 PS) and five equipment versions (take up!, move up!, high up!, black up!, white up!). It has a starting price of 9,850 euros. The newest member of this lineup will arrive in May. The four-door version of the city specialist is priced at 10,325 euros, only 475 euros more expensive than the two-door version.
Graduating from concept to fully realised consciousness, the new Volkswagen will make you smile if you take a glance at its frontage and in particular the bumper. Graded up at the sides, the up! grins back at you and this is Volkswagen's intention for the vehicle. Keeping with the front of the vehicle, there is a set of daytime running lights set into the smaller than normal headlights for a Volkswagen. The logo has been chromed but where you would usually see cooling intakes, there are headlights much smaller due to the up!'s combination petrol and natural gas engine with electric motors requiring a lot less cooling.
Volkswagen's Head of Design Klaus Bischoff said that the brand aims to follow the same styling patterns. All its products are stylised in a way that they're similar to one another, whether it is the up! the Beetle or the Phaeton. However, the up! may seem dissimilar from previous models but it is still a crucial part of the family and one whose individuality still retains many of the hallmarks which Volkswagen so beloved.
up! side profile
When looking at the side of the vehicle, there are a number of very distinct visual flares. From the gleam and stylings of the panelling to the grooves etched into the side sills. Upon closer examination it is clear the up! has no seams as if cut from one piece of metal. Only the side windows and the enlarged wheel housings provide any glimpse of an edge. These particular wheel housings have been designed so as to give the impression that the wheels are larger than they seem, between 14-16 inches in diameter,
The proportions of the up! are certainly eye-opening as reduced angles at the front give the appearance of a steep drop from windshield to the edge of the bonnet. Matching this is the angles at the rear of the vehicle where the C-pillar and the rear wheels match up.

Think back 25 years ago. There might have been a dim awareness that China celebrates its new year at some point in January or February, but not much more than that. China was vast, alien and somewhere 'over there'. Outside of a few major European cities, it really didn't register.
Fast forward to 2018 and that's become a very different story. Anyone taking a stroll down Strøget recently will have noticed the lanterns adorning Copenhagen's main shopping street. As the Chinese dollar grows, more and more cities are getting in on the act and that means celebrating the new year in style. Chinese style.
Chinese New Year varies year to year as it is based on the traditional Chinese calendar. This year, it begins February 16 and will usher in the year of the dog (google it. There's loads of interesting stuff out there!). Like the western Christmas, the celebration revolves around family, a general bonhomie and a feel good factor that, in a Chinese context, you might even label hygge. But, if you're going to do it properly, it lasts considerably longer, running right up to the Lanterns Festival on March 2. That's right. A whopping two weeks of celebrations. You'll need stamina. By the bucket load.
Food of course, as ever with China, is never far away. New Year's Eve dinner is the most important gathering for the entire family, and every family member, no matter where they happen to be in the world, is expected to come back for this feast. The kitchen will be busy from early morning throughout the day with two or three generations cooking together. Every family will have their secret recipe, and there is no better day than new year's eve to display all the tricks and skills. For this special dinner, there are some must-have dishes and more importantly, regardless of what is on the table, it should be chockablock with goodies waiting to be demolished! In Kewei's Kitchen, we've also got some typical New Year dishes that you can sample.
Dumplings are quite probably the most well-known Chinese food, and it is a must-have on Chinese New Year. Dumplings (饺子 jiao zi) sounds the same as 交子(jiao zi) which refers to that moment of switchover from one day to the next. This is the one of the reasons dumplings have to be eaten at midnight on New Year Eve as it represents an adieu to the old and a welcoming of the new. Another reason is that the shape of dumplings resembles gold ingots, which in times gone by, were the currency in China. So eating dumplings is also a symbol of good fortune.
But of course, the most important reason is that dumplings are just so damned tasty. Everyone loves them! Certainly, it's something we have had the pleasure of witnessing at Kewei's Kitchen, and we offer both meat and vegetarian dumplings. Every single one is made with love. The process is complicated but incredibly satisfying, offering so much flavour in every bite. Little wonder then that the Chinese love them so much. Our customers do too!
Fish is a another must have for our New Year feast. Fish in Chinese is 鱼(yu) which has the same pronunciation as 余 (yu) and it means abundance and surplus. We often say 年年有余 (nian nian you yu) and wish each other surplus fortune and food in the coming new year. Therefore, a fish dish is the perfect representation of this meaning. Normally at New Year dinner, we are meant to have our fish whole and preferably big as it symbolises good fortune for the whole family. However, during the dinner we are not meant to eat more than half the fish as fish represents 'surplus'. It is very important therefore, that there is something extra left over for the next day.
But, at Kewei's Kitchen, we're not going to follow these rules. You'll be encouraged to enjoy our fish dishes in their entirety. And we have an amazing fish dish on the menu. Just don't tell Kewei's folks she's breaking convention!
Now, what else should you do to throw yourself into the spirit of Chinese New Year? Here's a few tips.
First of all, there are the famous red envelopes and you'll notice that red is a ubiquitous theme throughout the whole celebration. The Chinese give each other red envelopes on New Year's Eve and, rather than gifts, the envelopes always contain money. It's for children essentially and as far as the notes are concerned, the more the merrier. Secondly, wear something red, or at least bright colours, and stay away from black and white, as it means death in Chinese culture. If you attend a CNY party or dinner, say 过年好 (guo nian hao) or 新年快乐 (xin nian kuai le) to other people first, because after they say happy new year back, it is your perfect chance to ask for a red envelope 红包 (hong bao). Now, as we've said, you might not get one if you're an adult, but hey, nothing ventured nothing gained! It is just a bit of fun after all, and, if nothing else, there'll be lots of food to sample. So without further ado, let us at Kewei's Kitchen also take this opportunity to wish you all 新年快乐 (xin nian kuai le). It's a wonderful time of the year. Enjoy!!!

st John's Hoxton
We have supported many churches and Cathedrals on their development journeys, most frequently within the context of an HLF project.
We love working in these spacial spaces, and have been lucky enough to author the Bath Abbey and Gloucester Cathedral Activity Plans (with Julia Holberry Associates), Wymondham Abbey (Conservation Management Plan), Guildford Cathedral (audience development), All Saints Kingston HLF evaluation, St Georges' Bloomsbury and St Peter's Bethnal Green. These projects alone have released over £19M of HLF funding!
Currently we are working in one of our favourite parts of the country - the east end of London.
St John's Hoxton lies at the heart of one of the most economically deprived areas of the capital and currently supports a multitude of different groups in one of the most vibrant church communities we have seen to date. It's early stages for this project, but we're just so excited to be involved and spending time with this special team and in such a fun and friendly neighbourhood.

Year 1/2 Football
Moretonhampstead sent 2 teams to this event at Stover School. They were both amazing and there are too many highlights to mention here. After a few days of illness both teams were down to minimum numbers so we had no subs and everyone played a full 4 games. We got off to a brilliant start and this continued throughout all the pool matches. It's fair to say that both Moreton teams dominated all their matches and didn't lose a single game!
An amazing total of 37 goals were scored by Moreton throughout the tournament. Both teams won their pool matches and ended up playing each other in the final. The final score was 0-0 and so it went to penalities where Moreton A just beat Moreton B 4-3. A fantastic result. It was also great to receive some many compliments from other schools and parents saying how absolutely brilliant both teams were in terms of skills, sportsmanship and behaviour. I have to agree. Really proud of you all. Well done.

Rihanna and Leonardo DiCaprio snapped together at her birthday - see the first pic here!
By Adam Bub|
There's finally proof that Rihanna and Leonardo DiCaprio are indeed hooking up.
Rihanna and Leonardo DiCaprio's romance rumours just heated up with the first photo of the pair emerging, taken at Rihanna's birthday party on February 20. Scroll below for the picture!
In the snap, Leo, 40, and RiRi, 27, appear to be getting cosy on the dance floor while lighting up a cigarette. A source told US Weekly they saw the couple "kissing and dancing together" at the party, but we're yet to see a full-on make-out shot. Sad-face.
According to TMZ, the new couple had plenty of PDAs though – but Rihanna was way more affectionate than her movie star squeeze.
"She's the baddest b---- in the party, but she's following him everywhere," a source said.
While they're not exclusive yet, Rihanna and Leo (couple name "Rio"?) have reportedly been hooking up for three months now. That's a lot longer than 'Four Five Seconds'…
First couple shot? Rihanna and Leo together at her birthday. Image: Splash.
Leo is said to have helped organise Rihanna's party, which was held at a private residence in the Hollywood Hills. Guests included Beyonce and Jay Z, Naomi Campbell and Mick Jagger.
Rumours of a casual romance first emerged back in January when the 'Diamonds' singer and Wolf of Wall Street star were seen flirting at a friend's party at the Playboy Mansion.
Tongues got wagging when they reunited at the birthday bash of Kings of Leon's Caleb Followill.
We'll keep you posted as we hear more on this new celeb love match.
For now, watch below to see what Rihanna's ex Chris Brown thinks of her dating Leo:

#Make100 Monsters on Kickstarter!
You may have noticed a couple of cute monster illustrations here on my website, and if you follow me on Instagram you will definitely have noticed them! Illustrating these monsters is a non-computer hobby of mine. I do have an art degree, after all…
Traditionally these monsters have been contained in sketchbooks, but as part of a resolution to make some more wall-worthy artwork in 2018 and the very inspiring "Make 100" initiative on Kickstarter, I've launched a Kickstarter project to raise some funds for art supplies, but more importantly to make monsters for other people.
All the monsters are 100% original, signed, and handmade (except the sticker option). Would you like a monster?
What do you think? Do you have any questions, thoughts, or related links to share? Did I make a mistake in my post?

The vocals and music will not disappoint but visit their website and listen for yourself and buy your favorites…decisions, decisions, decisions. You'll also find a variety of videos, including some live performances and in studio. There's even an acoustic of The Harold Song by Kesha. The band is definitely in touch with its fans and vice versa.
"When Vanity Kills isn't about egos or spotlights. It's about quality musicians delivering their messages to fans. We consider everyone beautiful…but no one is ever too pretty to kill." WVK
They're about set off on a summer tour, so their fans will no doubt appreciate that. A good stage presence is a must for touring artists and WVK has it. The band has been gaining momentum this year, so go ahead, and join them for the ride. It's been non-stop for them since the year began and there is no sign of slowing down. After attending the annual international music trade show in January called the Winter NAMM Show, they embarked on a radio tour in the spring and now the summer tour, and all that is great news for music lovers!

Assembly responds to Charity Commission report on Garden Bridge
April 9th, 2019
The Charity Commission released its report today into the Garden Bridge project, which cost a total of £53.5m. The London Assembly has been scrutinising the project and its procurement since September 2015.
The Garden Bridge Working Group will hold public meetings with Transport for London (TfL) on Monday 15 April and Monday 13 May to question its role in the project.
Tom Copley AM, Chair of the Garden Bridge Working Group said:
"It is extremely disappointing that the Charity Commission has decided not to further investigate the role of the Garden Bridge Trustees for their part in the loss of millions of taxpayer's money. They are far from the only ones to blame for this fiasco. However, their decision to sign a construction contract in an attempt to push this project through, despite not having even secured the land on the south bank to build it on, nor the necessary planning consents, cost the taxpayer £21 million. Londoners may raise their eyebrows at the Commission's conclusion that this was a reasonable decision.
"We are clear that our enquiries into the myriad of failings surrounding the Garden Bridge will continue. As the Commission points out, it's now incumbent on the National Audit Office, Public Accounts Committee and TfL to look deeper into how the Trust handled public funds. But when it comes to seeking clarity around this murky project on behalf of London's taxpayers, the Assembly will not drop the mantle. We look forward to questioning TfL on this matter over the coming weeks."

Wright Park in North Tacoma still has pits for throwing horseshoes, though I have never seen anyone throw shoes there. Near the pits an old cherry tree was in full bloom on the bright April day when I made this photograph. Large brick apartment houses ring the park and in those days they were mostly occupied by the elderly who had given up their homes and lawns for the convenience of living near the lovely parkland, and close to medical offices that surround the general hospital a few blocks away.
"Wright Park is the only considerable breathing space reserved to the people thronging the central part of this city...without being cramped for space or menaced by shows and their consequent temptations to spend their spare time within the walls of a packed building rather than in the health giving environment of trees, plants and flowers."
-- 1909, The Board of Park Commissioners in response to organizations wanting to build in the park.
I created large format silver photographs of my home town for 20 years from 1990 through 2010. These are rich, beautifully crafted silver images processed for permanence. Vintage prints are made within a year of the photograph create date. My usual practice was to print within a few days or weeks of exposure. There are at most six prints per image; most images have three or fewer prints.

Moving Back On & Off Campus
Returning to Campus
Commuters and off-campus residents who wish to reside on-campus next year should pay both their enrollment and room deposits. Paying a room deposit does not guarantee students a space in campus housing. This payment will only secure a space on the waitlist. After submitting a room deposit, students currently commuting or living off-campus should contact the Office of Residential Life at email@example.com to confirm their placement on a waitlist. Students will be assigned after the Room Draw process has been completed and if Residential Life is unable to secure them a room, their room deposit will be refunded.
Moving Off Campus
Residential living is fundamental to the mission of the college and the Goucher student experience, and all full-time undergraduate students are required to live on campus and must participate in one of the college meal plans. Exceptions may be made for students who choose to commute from their permanent home address within 30 miles of Goucher's campus.
Students wishing to apply to live off-campus in non-Goucher housing may do so at http://www.goucher.edu/housingdirector.
Very few students will be permitted to move off-campus for the coming 2017/2018 academic year. Students are cautioned not to sign a lease off-campus until after they have received permission to be released from their residential living requirement. Applications are due by March 17, 2017. If approved, students are refunded the $100.00 housing deposit. Students who choose to live off-campus even if after denied will be financially responsible for room and board.

To fully understand why I chose this week's topic, you need to meet this guy. This is Max. You might remember him from the Knitted Neck Warmer Fail from a few years ago.
His full name is Maximilian, which comes out of my mouth as three syllables when he's in trouble. He's the clumsiest dog I've ever seen, tripping over his own feet and running into things like it's his job. His best quality is that he loves everyone he meets, and he has provided us with hours of entertainment and affection. Because our less-than-graceful pup turned seven years old this week, I think it's a great time to talk about some fun doggy diys.
I'm not sure if it's okay to call a dog collar pretty, but it's the first word that comes to my mind to describe these Upcycled Martingale Collars from My So Called Crafty Life.
We can't even take the lid off the peanut butter jar without turning around to find Crazy Eyes sitting there staring hopefully at us. I think his little head might explode if he had access to these Peanut Butter Sweet Potato Dog Treats from The Lean Green Bean.
You don't necessarily think about needing to render first aid to your dog, but it's a good idea to keep the supplies on hand, just in case. This Pet First Aid Kit from Pretty Fluffy can help you get started.
There are instructions for two different dog toys on this post from Ammo the Dachshund, but I particularly liked this one with the ball inside. It reminds me of an octopus.
A few years ago, we had a giant Mastiff named Cooper. He weighed about 200 pounds, so giving him a bath was something that didn't happen very often. We used a dry shampoo on him that we bought at the pet store. It would have been great to be able to make it ourselves, like this version from She Knows.
This Dog Leash with Treat Bag from Professor Pincushion is so smart, and I love that you can make them match.
Max was crate trained when he was a puppy, but I never liked how ugly that big box was, sitting in our living room. Problem solved with this Wood Pet Kennel End Table from Ana White.
My daughter and her husband adopted a yellow lab shortly after they got married. Nala is a sweet, low-key dog, but she sheds like mad. I'm thinking this Dog Hammock from Hailey Footer might save my car's upholstery.
When Max was young, my husband built a bell with a wood backer and hung it by the back door. Every time it seemed like Max wanted to go outside, we would lift his paw and hit the bell before opening the door. Before long he was ringing it himself. Now, I think we're better trained by that bell than he is. He rings it, and I drop everything to go let him out before I even realize what I'm doing. Check out these DIY Bathroom Bells at Kol's Notes.
I've found Max's identification tag lying around our house more than once (yes, he is chipped, just in case). When you live life as enthusiastically as he does, there's bound to be some collateral damage. This Upgraded Dog Collar from mactothefuture on Instructables seems like a good solution.
I love curating my Friday Favorites each week, and I want to make sure that the talented people who have created these projects are fully acknowledged for their work. Before you pin or share, please click through the link or photo to the originating website. You can also find all the projects each week on my Friday Favorites Pinterest board. Thank you!

Have you ever heard that New Zealand might change their flag? Well this is a very true fact and New Zealand is planning on changing it but do you think it should change? This is a big question for New Zealanders on if they want to have a brand new one or have the same old one?
This is a question where you need to decide and my opinion would be NOT to change the flag. Think about it we have represented this flag for years and years and now they're just going to suddenly change it? Well changing New Zealand's flag is a big issue.
New Zealanders only want to change it because it looks exactly like the Australian's Flag and people are getting confused. Is that really the only reason why they want to change the flag? Well we shouldn't change it because it would also save a lot of money, instead of using all the money to buy a new flag when we already have one.
The New Zealand flag has been represented many times in the past and history. For example the Union Jack symbol represents how strong we stick together with the United Kingdom (UK). In the past, soldiers have also fought and died under our New Zealand flag. Which that brings a lot of history into New Zealand.
If you agree with me then that is great because you are accepting our flag for it's uniqueness and for our history that the flag has had in the past years. If you don't agree with me then which flag would you rather have?

Early reports that Colorado Springs Police Detective Paul Patton had been arrested included few details.
All we knew is that he was suspected of attempting to influence a public servant, first-degree official misconduct and false reporting to authorities.
But now, a warrant obtained by the Colorado Springs Independent, among others, reveals startling new details about a sexual relationship between Patton and a kidnapping victim whose case he worked.
Moreover, the report documents how Patton originally accused the woman of stalking him — and how he said he'd tried to have deliberately bad sex with her in the hope that she would finally leave him alone.
Typically, we include documents in posts like this one. We're not doing so in this case due to the number of times the victim's name is used and her status as a crime victim even before she encountered Patton. But our item refers to and features quotes from the El Paso County warrant in question.
The story began back on September 3, 2014, when Colorado Springs Police Department officers were dispatched to a Howard Johnson Lodge at 8280 Highway 83 on a report of a woman who'd been found in the parking lot.
When she was discovered, she was bound with electrical tape.
Among those assigned to the investigation was Patton. Throughout the process of the case, in which two men were arrested and prosecuted (one case is still active), he stayed in touch with her.
Cut to July 26, when Patton contacted a colleague on the force to report what he described as "a stalking situation in which he was the victim."
During the subsequent interview, Patton said that his interactions with the kidnapping victim had been "strictly professional" in the beginning. But last month, he maintained, the victim became more aggressive, texting him frequently, with the communications becoming "very graphic and sexual on her part," he allowed.
Patton said that when he tried to pour cold water on the woman's interest in him, she threatened to go to his supervisors about their relationship. If she shared the texts with his bosses, he admitted thinking, "Holy shit, that's bad" — and the excerpts quoted in the warrant , including references to his "chub," "morning wood" and how her messages made him "so stiff," suggest that he was right.
At that point, Patton says he told the woman to leave him alone, but she didn't. After claiming he'd lost his phone, she called him a "motherfucker" and a "fucking liar," the report maintains.
By July, the woman was continually pestering Patton to come over to her home and have sex with her, he told the interviewer — and he began to vacillate about keeping his distance from her. Indeed, the report states, "he thought maybe [her] having sex with him was a challenge and if he did, she might 'stop and leave me alone.'"
En route to a coffee shop, Patton said the woman tried to lower his pants and perform oral sex on him. He was able to fend her off, but he eventually pulled into a secluded area and had what the warrant calls "penile-vaginal intercourse for 20-30 seconds.
"He wanted it to be bad and horrible and he did not want her to be attracted to him," the report continues.
If he'd hoped his poor performance would put an end to the woman's interest, he was wrong, Patton told the interviewer. She texted him "constantly," with messages maintaining that she "needed to talk to him and she wanted to have phone sex with him every single day."
In an interview of her own, the kidnapping victim initially denied having a sexual relationship with Patton before confirming that "a lot of stuff happened."
Example: She had threatened to contact the District Attorney's Office about their relationship because "she was mad and Patton was supposed to help her and all Patton cared about was talking on the phone 'while he jerks off.'"
This sort of behavior convinced investigators that Patton was far from innocent in regard to what happened between him and the woman. He's on paid administrative leave pending the decision of prosecutors about possible charges.
Here's a look at his double-booking photo.
