A large number of students at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in Port Elizabeth face an uncertain future, this because the National Students' Financial Aid Scheme has not yet processed their applications.
Last week, the Higher Education Department allocated the fund with a further R1 billion. With the final day for registration looming, some of the students face possible eviction from residences.
Some of the affected students are concerned that schools opening on Monday they don't know what to do. "I am stressed because I don't have books, I don't have money to buy textbooks I don't eat sometimes as I do not have money," says another.
Some of the students say they are currently squatting with friends and they have no money to register.
Meanwhile, chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Higher Education and Training Ishmael Malale, has called for stringent measures in how financial aid is granted.
Malale says the Committee is aware that there are those who manipulate NSFAS procedures to gain resources utilised for other processes. He adds that efforts must be undertaken by the fund and government to tighten the system and ensure that the money is given to those that it is intended for.

When you're pregnant and trying to make an informed decision for your family, cutting through all of the static can be a challenge. You take in opinions from family members, friends, and experts; you page through countless books and endless online information, but often you wind up even more conflicted than before.
To help with your decision on whether to bank cord blood or not, I put together a list of four important factors to consider. They ultimately helped me decide to bank my baby's cord blood. I hope they'll help with your decision too.
1. Cord blood stem cells are being used today.
It's not a thing of the future: cord blood stem cells can currently be used in the treatment of nearly 80 diseases, including certain cancers.1 Want to see one example? Meet a mother who used cord blood stem cells from one son to help treat another son's leukemia.
2. Your baby's generation may have new options.
It's an exciting time for cord blood and no surprise that researchers are working hard to find out how else cord blood stem cells can be used. Here are three research studies — all using a child's own cord blood stem cells — that you should know about.
Autism: An ongoing FDA Approved Phase I Clinical Research Study at Duke University is infusing patients diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder with their own cord blood stem cells. The goal is to determine the safety of a single intravenous infusion of autologous (self) umbilical cord blood in pediatric patients with Autism. This study also aims to determine which outcome measures best capture any impact these stem cell infusions might have on the child's condition so those measures can be used in a possible future study. More details here.
Cerebral palsy: Dr. Joanne Kurtzberg and her team at Duke University Medical Center recently completed a research study aimed to determine if cord blood stem cells may help children with cerebral palsy. More details about the study here.
Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS): The Mayo Clinic is conducting the first stem cell clinical research trial for pediatric congenital heart disease in the United States. The study is looking at safety and feasibility of using a newborn's own umbilical cord blood stem cells as a potential additional treatment for the management of hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). More details here.
Want to know more? Watch Morey Kraus, ViaCord's Chief Scientific Officer talk to me about research and cord blood banking.
3. Delay or collect? You don't have to choose!
It's a common misconception that you have to choose between either delay clamping OR collecting cord blood/cord tissue. The fact is you can do both. ViaCord explains in this blog post.
4. You can collect with a c-section.
Whether you have a standard delivery or a c-section, the process of collecting your newborn's cord blood is safe, painless, and non-disruptive to you, your baby, and your birth plan.
As parents, of all the things we wish for our growing family, good health tops the list. Even if you have an excellent family medical history, I encourage you to consider making cord blood banking part of your family's plan. When it comes to your family you'll know what's best.
My advice: listen to yourself. As I say in my book, Mommy IQ, "Trust your instincts. They're there for a reason."

The 'Meat Masterclass' is a full week learning programme, specially tailored to the needs of junior and middle managers in the meat industry. The course is run by the Danish Agriculture and Food Council and participants are able to enjoy a varied programme in Denmark, during which they gain insights into the whole meat production chain.
Attendance on the course is open to participants nominated by the Danish companies in the UK, either young managers from their own companies or their customers. The 'Class of 2015' included participants from Danish Crown, Direct Table and Tican and four customers – Brown Bros, Farmer's Boy, Russell Hume and Walter Smith's Butchers – with mixed working backgrounds – operations, trading, technical and sales.
The programme included a hands-on course in sausage-making with Master Butcher and restaurant owner Peter Steen from Gourmandiet in Copenhagen , practical butchery training at the Danish Meat Trades College, a visit to Danish Crown's slaughterhouse in Horsens, a farm visit in Zealand (Allindemaglegaard) and presentations on meat safety and ethical and sustainable pig production from DAFC specialists.
It was generally agreed that the two highlights of the week were the visit to Danish Crown's slaughterhouse in Horsens and the visit to Kim Kjær Knudsen's sow farm in Zealand. For a number of the participants, this was their first ever visit to a pig farm. One delegate described their host as "a passionate farmer who cares and understands the welfare of his pigs."
As for the visit to Horsens, the group found the experience "amazing", in terms of the size and the technology employed at the factory. One delegate commented "The throughput of product and speed of work were fascinating. The guide was very informative regarding all the operations on the work floor. Learning new cutting standards, information and practices was most beneficial".
The week was packed with information, but there was still time for the participants (many of whom had never visited Denmark before) to get out and about and experience Danish culture at first hand. The Danish open sandwiches and hot-dogs proved particularly popular, and the group thoroughly enjoyed the final dinner in the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen.
The Meat Masterclass is now in its 10th year and DAFC UK Market Director, John Howard, is highly positive about the programme.
"There is no better way of acquiring knowledge than through first hand experience and I hope that our programme provides a good 'mix' of theoretical knowledge and practical 'hands on' learning, combined with better appreciation of the unique Danish culture. We had a fantastic group this year, from a variety of backgrounds, who were keen to learn and gave us first-class feedback on their experiences during the week. Over the years, around 100 young managers have attended our course and I hope the experience gained in Denmark will have served them well in their careers in the meat industry."
The Meat Masterclass received formal recognition recently as one of the finalists in the Meat Management 'Training Scheme of the Year' Award.
Some of the feedback from delegates
"Excellent throughout. Great programme that covered a lot and gave great understanding. Well done on a brilliant course".
"One of the best experiences I have ever had. An excellent learning curve."
"An excellent experience. A good insight into pork production and Denmark".
"Not only do I just sell the Danish product, this has helped me understand it better and actually see how much is put into the production, welfare and the consistent quality achieved by the Danish pork trade".

Recently, I have been thinking a great deal about transitions. This is probably due to having a son that is a senior in high school, a daughter in her last year of elementary school, and another daughter that just moved into an apartment. We all grow up, move on, make choices, and hopefully head off in the right direction.
The Hanzon Foundation is also at a point of transition. We were born out of long conversations and many meetings, we have raised money, created projects, promoted events and, on September 12th, held our first Board meeting. It feels good to be at this point and to realize that we really are an actual organization. It is like we just got our driver's license and we can decide where we want to go and how fast we want to get there. With this reality comes the excitement of making decisions and seeing what the future holds. Transitions should mean something, they should change who you are, push you out of your comfort zone, and into new territory.
Many of you may have attended Broken Bone Bathtub, hosted by The Enchantment Society and in the same building where our recent Board meeting was held. We discussed the show at the Board meeting – some had seen it and some were planning to see it – and we shared our thoughts, expectations, apprehensions, and encouraged one another to step out of the all comforting comfort zone. It is funny in life how events collide, how you are sometimes given exactly what you need when you didn't even know you needed it. Broken Bone Bathtub feels like that. Siobhan O'Loughlin's performance challenges us but in an environment that is comforting, warm, bubbly, beautiful, reflective, changing, evolving, and vulnerable. Her openness and humor allow us to reveal ourselves and learn about others. "When was the last time you held someone's hand?" "Have you ever cried in public?" "Who do you count on or call when you are in need?" Just a few of the questions she asks her audience from her mounds of bubbles.
As I sit here, leaves are falling from the trees and another transition is occurring. We at The Hanzon Foundation are planning our next steps, breaking out of our comfort zone, and reflecting carefully on where we have been and where we hope to go.
And we have a bit of good news! Check out the link below to learn more about the status of Evolution of the Ball.

Qué hacer en Barcelona en 2 días
First and foremost, visit the Cathedral
If you only have two days to enjoy Barcelona and you want to truly get to the core of the city's distinct cultural and historical essence, you need to spend a day tour that begins with a visit to the central cultural landmark of the city-the Sagrada Familia Cathedral.
The Sagrada Familia is the one landmark that truly epitomizes Barcelona's identity. The Parisians have the Eiffel Tower, Londoners have the London Bridge and the Parliament building, the people of Barcelona have Antoni Gaudi's Sagrada Familia. Defying all categorization and classification, this building's style and immense presence demands, and gets, attention. No What to see in Barcelona in two days itinerary would be complete without stopping by this landmark.
Walking from there, you can take in the amazing trip through history provided courtesy of a walk through the Gothic Quarter. If you wanted to see High Medieval and Medieval Europe, this is the place to do it.
Next, enjoy the winding streets of the Quarter and get a feel for how Barcelona was originally laid out and how it developed through hundreds of years.
From here, you can check out some of Antoni Gaudi's other architectural masterpieces, like Guell Park, Casa Mila, and Casa Batllo.
Within a short distance from here, you should spend a lot of time, even a half a day or a whole day-at the Picasso Museum. Barcelona's Picasso Museum is world-renowned because it houses thousands of Picasso's works. In fact, it possesses the biggest collection of this modern art giant's collection in the world.
Regardless of whether you are big fan of Picasso or Cubism in particular, you'll love the Picasso museum because of the breadth of its collection and how Picasso's evolving styles influenced and were influenced by what was happening in Europe during the 1900s as well as the evolution of the art scene both in Europe and the United States.
Enjoy Las Ramblas
In addition to La Sagrada Familia, something would just be fundamentally missing form your Barcelona trip, even if it is a two-day stopover, if you don't spend some time on Las Ramblas. This tree-lined street captures the essence of Barcelona's style, love of life, and people. It is like the spine of the city, and you just absorb so much of the city's vitality by strolling it and seeing street performers and nearby historic buildings.

Your design co-founder
Plato delivers high-quality, tactical design that helps our clients' businesses grow — and to do so with speed, efficiency, and transparency.
We understand how hard it can be to get great design when you have a million other priorities to tackle.
Working with a typical agency can be a lengthy and expensive process, and leave you without the flexibility you want as design needs change. Taking on freelancers can help, but the time spent onboarding someone who might not become a dedicated member of your team can be a risk. And hiring a full-time designer seems like a great solution until you realize you need the broad skills of an entire design team.
What you really need is a design unicorn, which doesn't exist. But with Plato, you have access to our team of 50+ designers who specialize in every area of design and the specific tactics that make your company valuable.
Great design is about so much more than good looks.
Design done well can take your business to new heights, spelling the difference between revenue and profit, stagnancy and growth.
That's what plato is all about.

I first had direct experience of Alzheimer's as a teenager when my grandmother began to exhibit signs of dementia. It was devastating to see this once vibrant and intelligent woman, slowly begin to lose her thought processes and memory as she went through the different stages of the disease. In an effort to give her the best quality of life possible, I became her primary caregiver until she passed.
Since then, I have developed an interest in learning about dementia and I make sure my staff know how to care for persons with this mental disease as it is not easy. It is hard on everyone: grandchildren, daughters, sons, family members and friends of the person with dementia.
The Senior Consultant at the Barbados Psychiatric Hospital Dr Brian MacLachlan defines Alzheimer's disease as a form of dementia that occurs because of the disease processing that affects the brain, stating: "Dementia [represents] a series of neuro-cognitive diseases. Neuro refers to the nerves of the brain and cognitive refers to our ability to think and to reason and also involves memory and conditions [of] orientation – knowing where you are, who you are, what type of day it is."
He further explained that because the Barbados population is living longer, conditions such as Alzheimer's are presenting more among our ageing population. When asked if Caribbean people are pre-disposed to Alzheimer's due to the high rate of diabetes, sugar consumption and in some instances high consumption of alcohol, Dr MacLachlan concluded "yes, and if they are being treated sometimes partially and taking medications, then the effects are that over time, as people are living longer and getting older, that [increases] the risk factor".
Two types of Alzheimer's
Vascular Dementia and Multi-infarct are caused by disruption of blood flow to the brain. For example, high blood pressure can cause blockages to the blood vessels which can affect the blood flow to the brain.
"In diabetes, you actually get an effect on those blood vessels as well and direct effects of sugar, along with deposits of protein into the brain which all affect the cells in the brain that cause Alzheimer's," he explained.
Ultimately, the end result is that the "brain is either not getting enough nutrients or the way that messages are sent around are being affected". Worth noting is that persons who drink alcohol over a long period of time can also damage the brain and "this can be another form of dementia", warns Dr MacLachlan.
However, it is not just the ageing population that can be affected by diseases like Alzheimer's as people in their 40s and 50s can also begin to develop signs of the disease. Once you start seeing a set of symptoms in the shorter memory and the progression, then it can indicate Alzheimer's.
My advice is for all of us to eat a balanced and healthy diet and to exercise the body and mind. Often, we think that by working we are doing just that. In reality, work can be a stressor and can cause us to develop unhealthy habits, like not getting enough sleep and eating lots of processed and "fast foods". So, we really need to develop healthy lifestyles as part of managing our mental health.
Caregivers of persons with Alzheimer's need to be sensitive and understand the importance of good nutrition and exercise as part of the holistic care needed to manage this condition. Most importantly, they and the affected families must develop a deeper understanding of the causes of the disease. They should also have a nursing background which would have included some study into conditions like dementia.
Early signs of dementia:
Forgetfulness – They start to forget important events/dates, recent information and keep asking for the same information to be repeated. The person may also forget how to do simple tasks and more complex ones such as driving or using the computer.
Changes in mood and behaviour – Personality may change from being peaceful to more aggressive without any provocation.
Changes in daily activities – Dementia may cause a person to lose interest in previously enjoyed activities or require cues prompting them to become involved.
Later Stages:
Memory problems – They are now regularly forgetting recent events, names and faces.
They begin to ask questions repetitively.
They find it increasingly difficult to carry out tasks and activities that require organization and planning.
They are becoming more confused in unfamiliar environments.
When having a conversation, they have difficulty finding the right words to express themselves.
Numbers and/or handling money becomes a challenge.
Your loved one is becoming more withdrawn or anxious.
What to do if a loved is showing signs of dementia:
Do not ignore it even if the symptoms are mild as they may over time progress and get worse. See your doctor who will do some initial tests. Your doctor will then refer your loved one to a neurologist for a more indepth assessment if required. It may be that they have "mild cognitive impairment", but the neurologist will be able to monitor if it is progressing to dementia. The neurologist is a medical doctor specially trained in treating brain and spinal conditions and is the best person to provide a diagnosis and help.
Alzheimer's is not an easy condition to live with and at first, well-meaning family, friends and even the person themselves, may try to laugh it off or say it's a natural part of ageing. However, it is not, so always seek medical help. After diagnosis and with a good care plan that includes a lot of compassion and love, along with healthy lifestyle changes, they can still have a very good quality of life. Something that we at trusted care providers know all about.

Ducks Fall In Overtime To USC, 87-80
Feb. 24, 2001
By LANDON HALL
AP Sports Writer
EUGENE, Ore. (AP) - Benched because of his horrendous performance two nightsearlier, David Bluthenthal scored seven of his 29 points in overtime asUSC rallied to beat Oregon 87-80 Saturday night.
Brian Scalabrine added 21 points and Sam Clancy had 13 rebounds for theTrojans (18-8, 8-6 Pac-10), who moved a big step closer toward earning anat-large bid in the NCAA tournament as the fifth-place team in the conference.
Bryan Bracey scored 22 points and Frederick Jones had 20 for the Ducks(13-12, 4-11), who have lost 11 of their last 14 games and are fighting toqualify for the NIT.
Bluthenthal, who went scoreless on 0-for-9 shooting in Thursday'shumiliating 67-52 loss at Oregon State, hit a 3-pointer to start a 13-0 runwith just over five minutes left in regulation that helped the Trojans get backin the game.
Bluthenthal made the first basket of the overtime - a 3-pointer - and hittwo free throws to push USC's lead to five with 2:18 to go. But the Ducks cameback, and a 3-pointer by Anthony Norwood cut it to 81-80 with 1:05 left.
Scalabrine then buried a 3-pointer from the top of the key, and thatfinished Oregon.
Bluthenthal made eight of 11 shots, and his point total tied a career highset against Cal State-Northridge last Dec. 5.
A 3-pointer by Bracey put the Ducks ahead 72-60 with 5:21 left. AfterBluthenthal's 3, Jeff Trepagnier made two putbacks, with two free throws fromGranville in between. Scalabrine made a hook shot, again after an offensiverebound, and Granville ended up with a layup after Trepagnier's steal. Thatgave USC a 73-72 lead with 2:43 left.
Trailing 76-73 with 30 seconds left, Oregon tied it when Jones hit a runninghook that banked in. He was fouled, and the free throw sent the game toovertime tied at 76.
Oregon led by 10 early on, but the Trojans used a 12-2 run to tie it.Bluthenthal was the last USC player off the bench, but he scored 15 points inthe first half, including three straight 3-pointers, to pull his team within37-35.

The massively talked about palette from Anastasia Beverly Hills. The Subculture Palette.
So I bought this having watched loads of bad reviews on YouTube, but it looked too pretty to not buy, so I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt, and I bought it.
What a mistake this was! This is honestly the worst palette I've ever used! When comparing this palette to the Modern Renaissance, which is one of my favourites, the quality between the two are on a whole different level!
Sure these shadows are pigmented, but they fall apart at the touch of a brush. As you can tell from my images, two shades have completely smashed. I did drop the palette, but it was a small drop, not much height and onto a soft surface, and two shades smashed! The shadows are so soft, almost as if they are just pure pigments, just pressed down into pans. These shadows do not blend at all. Trying to blend them takes ages, and the results are a muddy, patchy mess, which is not cute.
So lets talk about each shade.
The shade 'Cube' is an iridescent pink/white shade, that without a setting spray, is practically non-existent, but really pretty in the inner corners, when used with a setting spray.
'Dawn' is a peachy, matte shade, that works okay, and is one of the easier shades to blend.
'Destiny' is a really pretty shade, but doesn't blend well, and when packed all over the lid, it separated and looked really patchy after a few minutes.
'Adorn' is probably my favourite shade in the palette, and the one shade i would probably actually use in a makeup look. The pigment is amazing, and it lasts!
'All Star' is similar to 'Destiny' in the way it performs. not very blendable, and goes very patchy.
'Mercury' is one of the shades I haven't tried on the eyes, purley because its a shade I wouldn't use on my eyes in general.
'Axis' is a very patchy shade. For being such a dark shade, you expect the pigment to be amazing, but it doesn't live up to expectations.
'Roxy' is one of the better shades. This is a good transition shade, but I wouldn't choose it over my other palettes.
'Electric' looks amazing in the pan, but when swatched I was underwhelmed. The pigment doesn't do it justice. When mixed with some fix+ it looked a lot better but I have a shade similar to this from NYX that is 100X better.
'Fudge' goes super patchy when blended, and takes a whole lot of work to blend in general. Definitely too much work for an eye look, when other shadows will do a quicker job.
'New Wave' isn't actually a bad shade. I haven't got a shade like this in my collection, and when packed on the lid this is actually okay. It just doesn't blend very well.
'Untamed' is again similar to 'Destiny'. Patchy, doesn't blend etc.
'Edge' is similar to 'New Wave'. I haven't got a shade like it, and its wearable when packed all over the lid.
Finally we have 'Rowdy', which is one of the shades that smashed, so I only have a tiny bit of this left. Its not really a shade I would use, and I haven't tried it on the eyes yet.
So my final thoughts on this palette are; Listen to what everyone has said about it! Its not worth the splurge at all!
Sorry for the bad review, but I find posts like this really helpful and I hope some of you guys appreciate it!

INsight/ Marketing In Colors/
Manila, 24 May 2017 — What paradigm will drive marketing when the Millennials take over? Asia is leading the change as marketing changes color.
In 2020, Millennials (GenY) will make up half of the global workforce, bringing profound changes to the way businesses are managed.
In their bestselling book Marketing 3.0 – From Products to Customers to the Human Spirit, authors Philip Kotler, Hermawan Kartajaya and Iwan Setiawan have outlined how these changes are affecting the marketing profession.
Not long ago, in what the authors describe as the Marketing 1.0 paradigm, the objective was to sell as many products as possible and maximize profits, with a value proposition about product functionality, and through a one-to-many interaction with consumers.
Then, as the industrial economy made way for the information economy, the focus of marketing shifted to satisfying and retaining customers, and paying more attention to their emotions and preferences became a key for success. The authors describe this phase as Marketing 2.0, marked by a one-to-one relationship between producers and consumers.
More recently, and strongly influenced by the worldview held by many Millennials, the focus of marketing has shifted again, this time to embrace the emerging values of sustainability to make the world a better place. In the paradigm of Marketing 3.0, the interaction with consumers has become more communal in a many-to-many collaboration.
We can see how these successive marketing paradigms are consistent with the evolving orange, green and yellow worldviews that are featured in the Work In All Colors method to help leaders improve their effective communication.
Marketing 3.0, reflecting the emerging yellow worldview, is remarkable for its message as well as its messengers, featuring Hermawan Kartajaya and Iwan Setiawan, two influential innovators from Southeast Asia, working in partnership with marketing guru Philip Kotler from the US.
Equally remarkable is the establishment of a Museum for Marketing 3.0 in Ubud, the cultural capital of Bali, Island of the Gods. The MM3 museum is located on the premises of the Puri Lukisan (Palace of Painting) museum and is supported by the Royal Family of Ubud.
During the 4th Ubud Royal Weekend, Hermawan Kartajaya facilitated a rich conversation between the weekend's international participants and three of Ubud's princes, led by Tjokorta Gde Putra Sukawati, about Bali being recognized as the number 1 tourist destination in the world by TripAdvisor.
According to Kartajaya and Ubud's royal princes, the most compelling value proposition for visitors to keep coming to Bali is its people's combined focus on spirituality, community and environment, powered by the Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana (three sources of wellbeing).
As Tjok Putra explained, the secret for continuing Bali's successful marketing will be to nurture the values of building a sustainable future with the continuous effort of the local community, in collaboration with the island's visitors from all corners of the world, as a celebration of culture and diversity.
The prince's value-driven approach to marketing seems tailored to resonate with the yellow worldview that is increasingly popular among Millennials.
With Kartajaya's support, Ubud's princes are showing a good example how value-driven Marketing 3.0 will inspire a new generation of leaders to make the planet a better place.
Many of the participants who turned up for the Royal Ubud Weekend were Millennials.

Join Us as we pray
for the faithful departed homeless
of the san Francisco Archdiocese
Saturday, November 23, 2019 - 11 A.M.
Church of the Visitation
655 Sunnydale Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94134
Most Rev. Salvatore J. Cordileone, celebrant
Archbishop of San Francisco
A flier can be found here.
When they die, who remembers the chronically homeless and often mentally ill and alcoholic or drug-addicted men and women who wandered our streets? Often, no one. In many cases, no one around them even knew their real names. But they are children of God.
All the faithful of the Archdiocese are invited to join us on November 23rd for the second annual Requiem Mass for the Homeless Faithful Departed. We particularly invite those who are touched by homelessness in some way either by personal experience or through participation in ministries and apostolates that help the homeless.
There are approximately 2,100 chronically homeless on our streets, according to the San Francisco Homeless Count & Survey 2017, a biennial survey. Exact numbers of homeless deaths are difficult to track although mortality is four to nine times higher among chronically homeless people than among the general population. Life expectancy is 25 years shorter. San Francisco averages 7,500 people categorized as homeless each night, including families and students living in vehicles, in tents, and in parks, while going to school and work each day.

We already knew that Letv is one of the fastest growing Chinese smartphone OEMs at the moment. This company has released their first handsets, Le Superphones, earlier this year, and they've been selling really well ever since they were made available by the company. The Letv Le 1, Le 1 Pro and Le Max have been announced earlier in the year, and Letv Le 1s is the company's most recently announced device. That being said, the new, Snapdragon 820-powered handset is on its way, and is expected to launch in the first quarter of next year. We'll talk about that in a minute, let's first take a look at some statistics Letv provided, shall we.
The company has decided to share some additional sales info, along with some additional numbers. Letv reported that they've managed to sell 1 million Le Superphones in China in November alone. Letv Le 1s has been the most interesting phone to consumers in November it seems, Letv has actually managed to sell 780,000 units of Le 1s alone, which is commendable. In addition to these sales numbers, Letv has also added that Le Superphone users consume up to 1.2GB of data per month on average, while the industry's average is under 800MB. It seems like 56.7% of Le Superphone users are male, while the remaining 41.27% are female.
Letv's devices will soon roll out to additional markets, the company will make their devices available in India (Q1 2016), and the company has already opened their official online store in the US. Now, keep in mind that Letv's smartphones are still not available in the US, but their accessories sure are. Le Superphones will quite probably become available in the US in the coming months, perhaps even Q1 2016, but we're only guessing. One thing is for sure, the company's upcoming flagship definitely got the attention of both consumers and tech media. The recently benchmarked Letv 'Max Pro' smartphone will ship with a QHD (2560 x 1440) display, 4GB of RAM and Android 6.0 Marshmallow it seems. The device will also be made out of metal, and will be powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 820 SoC.

Rosenberg High School Student Killed in Texas 18 Wheeler Accident
An 18 wheeler accident in Rosenberg, Texas left one high school student dead and two others injured after a big rig collided with a Toyota Camry on Highway 59.
Police identified the high school student who was killed in the Texas 18 wheeler accident as 17-year-old Gabrielle Garcia, who was a student at Benjamin Franklin Terry High School in Rosenberg. Garcia was pronounced dead at the scene of the Texas 18 wheeler accident.
The other occupants of the Toyota, who were injured in the 18 wheeler accident, were identified as an 18-year-old, who was reportedly driving at the time of the semi crash, and two 16-year-old passengers. The 18-year-old was transported to Memorial Hermann Hospital via helicopter along with one of the 16-year-old passengers. The other passenger was transported to Oak Bend hospital via ground ambulance.
Although police are still investigating the Texas 18 wheeler accident, they believe the Toyota's driver was attempting to cross the highway on Cottonwood Church Road.
Truck accidents present unique circumstances for victims who are injured and the family of those killed in an 18 wheeler accident. Large trucking companies and insurance companies often hire experts to help them protect their own bottom line, making it vital for victims to seek the aid of their own advocates.

We knit with the big sticks again, today. It's so much fun to learn, and it's amazing how quickly you can knit with your arms. I think everyone was headed to the yarn aisle to pick out more colors to try out multi-stranded arm knitting at home. I'm glad we finally got everyone together to have this class. It was a fun afternoon.

I'm Selene Kinder; founder of Empowering Women Now.
I've been an entrepreneur for as a long as I can remember. My first business was selling Lisa Frank stickers to my friends for 50 cents. I turned a sticker book that my mom had bought me to $50. I remember feeling so proud of myself. Not for the money but the for being able to connect with others and do something that my parents were absolutely surprised by.
It seemed like each year I had another business project. I realized that it wasn't the business that intrigued me it was creating. I desperately needed to create every single day. It empowered me – it filled me with knowledge – it kept me sharp – it made me confident.
During high-school my confidence hit its all time low. I had stopped creating due to the fear of what people would think. It wasn't until I went to college that I decided to go back to my roots and find my happiness again. This is when Empowering Women Now came to life.
I knew that at Empowering Women Now I would be free to create as much as I wanted. The more I learned the more I shared. One of the most beautiful journey I have been privileged to walk with is growing this platform to what it is today. Maya Angelou once said, " Now that you know better, do better."
Empowering Women Now has shifted. My focus was once to create the most inspirational quotes and motivational blog posts. I've learned through this journey that women do not need more inspiration or motivation – we already have that in our DNA.
What women really need is the knowledge to live our most empowered life. The knowledge on how to live our healthiest life; mentally and physically and the knowledge on how to love yourself.
I'm so happy you're here. I hope you will stay a while.
Rivers of blessings,
Selene Kinder

PETALING JAYA (July 30, 2012): Lafarge Malayan Cement Bhd will raise the price of its cement from Aug 1, after taking into consideration rising costs of manufacturing and delivery of the building material, its executive director Chen Theng Aik said.
"The decision was made unilaterally and taking into consideration our increasing costs associated with manufacture and delivery of cement, which we have endeavoured to absorb over the years," Chen told SunBiz yesterday.
He dismissed claims that cement companies are colluding and creating an artificial shortage.
"Our plants had carried out major shutdowns for scheduled maintenance between February and June this year, which resulted in lower production during the first half of this year. We strongly refute the allegation of creating any artificial shortage of cement," said Chen.
Lafarge Malaysia's announcement follows claims by property developers, building materials distributors and builders last week that cement prices will be increased from Aug 1 by RM1 per bag of 50kg from RM16.75 to RM17.75 or RM20 per metric tonne from RM320 to RM340.
They warned that a price hike would increase construction costs which in turn would lead to higher property prices, as they pass on the additional costs to homebuyers.
However, CMS Cement Sdn Bhd, Sarawak's sole cement producer, had on Saturday said it had no intention of raising the price of the material.
There are six cement players in the country, the others being YTL Cement Bhd, Tasek Corp Bhd, Cement Industries of Malaysia Bhd (CIMA Group) and Holcim (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd.

With broken fingers. On Christmas.
I was on Prince Street, and it was 4:45 in the morning. Dark, of course. It's a good time to be walking the streets of our city. It's quiet. You can walk down the middle of the street without fear of being run over by an Uber or a delivery man on a silent bicycle. You pass store windows decorated with blinking Christmas lights, fake snow on the product of the day. Empty restaurants illuminated from within, the chairs upended upon the tables that have served the ghosts of, what, thousands of diners. The steam escaping from the bowels of our city, directed through orange pipes up towards the black night sky.
On Prince Street, once the home of Italian immigrants, I heard a woman singing out to her heart's delight, at 4:45 in the morning. She had one of those warbly opera-tic voices, but man, such volume! And although I couldn't always make out the words—was she channeling Italian voices from this street's past?---there was a joy in each melodic pronouncement. It was the kind of song that you sing when you have good news in your life, or new love, or just because you are alive. She didn't give a hoot about who heard her, or maybe she did. Maybe she wanted to wake up everyone struggling through their just-before-waking nightmares with a song of great jubilation. Whatever the reason, she lifted my spirits.
My wandering continued as the light finally began to dawn over this city that I love. With every new level of bright, it comes awake. Stores open, people spill out of subway entrances, trucks and cars rumble down the street. Somewhere near Chinatown, I saw this family walking through the park, a father and three children. Two of them seemed like zombies, silently sleep-walking with backpacks and mittens.
But lagging behind was a little boy, maybe 5 years old. His feet were askew, and one leg looked smaller than the other and turned outward. He hobbled along, but naturally. This was no recent injury, but a deformity, and it seemed to bother him not at all. He was inspecting all the garbage along the way—the sidewalk littered with all our disposed chairs and posters and vacuum cleaners and items of our consumption, consumed, used up, discarded. He seemed to be fascinated by all of it, curious, amazed, lagging behind his father and two zombie siblings. The father's insistent voice calling him to keep up, to hurry, to be with them.
Finally he whistled at him, and the little boy looked up, smiled, and somehow put speed into his lopsided, bent hopping with the beautiful motion of a ballet dancer, but wait, wait, because when he neared his father's outstretched arm he scrambled up onto the man's back with such grace and speed, giddily laughing at his father accepted him like he was throwing on a living cape, two little arms clasping his father's neck as the man tickled his son's contorted, mangled body.
They both laughed, their joy unnoticed by the zombie siblings, and the laughter bounced off the storefronts on one side, the passing trucks on the other. I stopped for a moment, overwhelmed to tears by this little scene, and watched them disappear around a corner.
There was a Christmas advertisement in the window of the store next to me. A perfect-looking gorgeous woman being held by a perfect-looking hunk of a man in front of a perfectly looking car that was the real point of the photograph. I wonder where these people live, I thought. I have never met anyone who looked like them.
But my heart couldn't forget that little boy. He stayed with me as I continued my walk. How he seemed utterly unfazed by his deformity, the challenge of his limbs; how he seemed to embrace the world all around him, reveled in it, laughed amidst it. I loved watching the father and son, the zombie siblings walking together down that street. As a friend once said, it all seemed utterly holy to me, a gift, a sign, a reminder, a letter from the Light.
I got a text message. It was from a former student. One of my first college students. Jeremy wrote: "I want you to know that we have three more weeks until we meet Little One. Both he and Chris are doing well. I have to admit now my anxiety over everything has taken over. I was normally the calm reassuring one. Roles have somewhat reversed. As I want this for her more than anything."
Jeremy and Chris have been trying to have a baby for at least five years. I can't tell you how many prayers were said, how much sadness they endured with miscarriages and false hopes. And finally almost 9 months ago, a life was created within. It's been a nerve-wracking pregnancy, and extremely delicate, and they have been walking a tightrope lo all these months. But the Little One seems ready to arrive into the world.
The incarnation, this incredible manifestation of holiness into our world. It makes you want to sing operatically in the middle of the street. It makes you want to open your arms for love to climb up onto your shoulders and drape you like a cape. It makes you want to embrace the people all around you—your husband, your wife, your children, your mama or papa, your siblings and cousins and aunts and uncles, your friends, the guy who serves you coffee in the morning in Dunkin Donuts, the woman who bags your groceries at Gristedes.
I got back here to the church. My task for the day was to set up a creche scene in front of the tree outside on the plaza. The Holy Family have holed up all year long in one of the unused confessionals, so I unlocked it and took Mary and Joseph out to the plaza. It wasn't Christmas yet, so I kept the baby Jesus out of the picture. I took him out of the confessional and sat down in one of the pews and held him in my hands. Two of his fingers are broken off, and I had been considering how to mend them. But as I held him, I loved him all the more for his broken fingers.
Every day I read the prayers that people leave in the Narthex on little slips of paper. Every day I pray for the people who are mentioned in them.
Who is hurting because their mama is dying, who is pleading to God to have their children return home, who is agonizing over financial troubles, or a cancer treatment, or the loss of the love of their life, who doesn't believe they are loveable, who wishes sometimes that God will show them just a little bit of mercy, who feels condemned because they are gay, or divorced, who feels ugly, or dumb, or lost or a failure.
Every day I see people all around me who look OK, maybe even picture perfect-looking, but I know that we are all of us not.
The incarnation. It was into this real world that the Savior comes, and you know what, even with broken fingers, or with feet askew, one leg smaller than the other. It was into our broken hearts that this baby was meant to be born, into the hearts that have been waiting for years through the miscarriages and failures of our lives, waiting, hoping and trying for something wonderful to be born.
And it has. He has. And that's why we rejoice, sing out from the bottom of our hearts through the streets of our city about the Prince who can show us the way through our brokenness to our holy perfection.
Last night after the 4pm Mass I put the baby Jesus out into his crib between Mary and Joseph. Several people have worried that the figures would be stolen. Do you have a way to secure them, they ask. I just smile.
Maybe someone will take the baby with the broken fingers. I hope not, but if they do, I hope that the incarnation will arrive for them too!

Each year, as people around the world ring out the old year and ring in the new, with parties, bonfires, fireworks and singing. We are only moving from one day to the next, for many it offers hope for a new beginning.
Each year, celebrations reach a peak with the singing of Auld Lang Syne, the most famous poem about the new year.
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and old lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
The song that Robert Burns sent to the Scots Musical Museum in 1788 has many more verses. But these are the ones that millions sing this every year as the clock strikes midnight. Based on an ancient drinking song, "Auld Lang Syne" talks about looking back "for old time's sake" and remembering old friendships.
I started to wonder about other poems written about the New Year's traditions and went to the internet. Following is just a little of what I found.
Thought.com said about Ella Wheeler Wilcox's, "THE YEAR," written in 1910, "This short and rhythmical poem sums up everything we experience with the passing of each year and it rolls off the tongue when recited."
What can be said in New Year rhymes,
That's not been said a thousand times?
The new years come, the old years go,
We know we dream, we dream we know.
We rise up laughing with the light,
We lie down weeping with the night.
We hug the world until it stings,
We curse it then and sigh for wings.
We live, we love, we woo, we wed,
We wreathe our brides, we sheet our dead.
We laugh, we weep, we hope, we fear,
And that's the burden of the year.
I was surprised by how many famous writers have written poetry about the end of the old year and the beginning of the new. A few are:
Alfred, Lord Tennyson wrote "The Death Of The Old Year" in 1842. He also wrote about the new year in "Ring Out, Wild Bells" (from "In Memoriam A.H.H.," 1849). In that poem, he pleads with the "wild bells" to "Ring out" the grief, dying, pride, spite, and many other distasteful traits. As he does this, he asks the bells to ring in the good, the peace, and the noble."
William Cullen Bryant wrote "A Song for New Year's Eve" in 1859 and recommended that we enjoy life to the last second.
Francis Thompson wrote "New Year's Chimes" in 1897.
"The Darkling Thrush" by Thomas Hardy was published in 1902 and his "New Year's Eve" a few years later.
D.H. Lawrence wrote "New Year's Eve" in 1917.
I enjoyed the following verse I found on www.familyfriendpoems.com, "Happy New Year" by Hope Galaxie.
"Making a difference starts with one step
With one foot, then the next"
You can find the whole poem and others celebrating the new year at: https://www.familyfriendpoems.com/poem/make-a-difference-happy-new-year.
I look forward to reading and writing and sharing both with you during this year, and maybe a little more poetry also.
Wishing everyone
A Happy New Year.

Previously I have built a very simple expected goals model based on four buckets for shots – six yard box, penalty area, outside the area, penalties. This is an improvement on pure shot numbers but still fairly crude. Here I describe my attempts to refine the model.
Note: many people have already tried similar concepts, this is not new. I am just trying to produce my own model to aid analysis of games.
Improving the model
One of the constraints on any model is the data. I have obtained more granular data and used it to build two more sophisticated models.
I now have more detailed position data, whether an attempt is a header or not, whether it is a direct free kick, and whether it came from a cross or not.
The two families of model are broadly:
1. Probability based
This is just an extension of my original model but with more buckets.
2. Logistic Regression
Here I have encoded a shots location through the distance from goal and the angle. I have then used logistic regression to build a parameterised probability model. I separated out headers from other shots and regressed these separately.
I used data from shots from the last six years to find the probabilities / parameters.
Testing the model
To test these two models to find which best describes a game I decided to test how well they correlated with actual goals over a set of games.
I split each team's games for each season into chunks of six. This gave 720 groups of six games. I then tested the linear correlation between the expected goals numbers for those games and the actual goal numbers.
I also compared compared points, both with a ratio of expected goals (xG for / (xG for + xG against)), and an Expected Points measure based on Monte Carlo simulations of the shot probabilities.
Here are the R Squared values – I have included pure shot numbers for comparison:
The regression based Expected Goals model outperforms the probability based measure in all categories, although not by much.
Both xG measures perform significantly better than shots.
Both versions of Expected Goals give a better description of a match than simple shot numbers. The linear regression version is marginally better than the pure probability version.
Further work
Next, I would like to test out the predictive capabilities of these measures.
There is plenty of scope for improving the model – taking into account score effects, the coordinates of the pass that set up the chance etc. I would also like to try replacing logistic regression with a Neural Network based model.

Rumpledoodle Recipe
This is the recipe from Pooh's Heffalump Movie.
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup raisins
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp molasses
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tbsp boiling water
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare 3 cookie sheets.
Mix the oats, sugar, flour, coconut, raisins, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
Combine butter, molasses and water and pour into the dry ingredients, stir until well-mixed.
Drop teaspoon-sized amounts of dough onto the cookie sheets and bake, one sheet at a time, for 12-15 minutes.
Allow cookies to cool for 2-3 minutes on the cookie sheet before removing, them completely cool on a wire rack.
I was very frustrated not being able to find it on Disney's website. Fortunately some kind bloggers have started posting it!
Additional Tips: Having made these now, we found adding a teaspoon of vanilla for flavor helpful. Also, chilling the dough for about 30 minutes before baking helped end that spreading effect. Remove the cookies when they are just browning (12 minutes), allowing to cool on the pan for chewy texture, bake the full 15 minutes for firmer texture.

Latest Landscaping Trends You Can Easily Apply for your Home Decoration
Any house requires attention and care to be converted into a home and designing your own home is a feeling that is hard to describe in words. Landscaping is an incredible idea for giving a perfect touch to yards and lawns because it helps for enhancing the overall view. Living in a world full of parties, music, technology, highlights, and media coverage, we are losing our peace, however, nature has the capability to let us feel good due to its unmatchable aesthetics and eye-catching soothing view. Lawns and yards in any home can be converted into a place to enjoy beautiful rays of the sun, cool wind, rain, or even snow by doing landscaping because living in rooms all the time can give you stress however a properly landscaped yard can enlighten your mind and leave good effects on health as well. In past few years, innovation has been seen in landscaping as pathways of roads are also designed by following innovative trends of landscaping.
Use of Natural Materials
The outdoor area can look more eye-catching if the natural material is used for its designing. The use of natural stones is increasing these days because they look more authentic. To add unique textures and colours, stones are perfect to use for landscaping whereas wooden decks can also give an enticing look. Landscaping is all about adding natural effects to the designing of a home.
Growing the Most Suitable Plants
Growing plants doesn't mean that you have to be a gardener because it is a simple and interesting task. Lawn is not the only place to grow plants rather you may have noticed them at every place even bathrooms have small glass plants. Restaurant and hotel owners also possess an interest in landscaping whereas it is also done along the sides of roads. According to the latest innovative trends, landscaping can be seen on the bridges that show how important and beneficial it is. Landscaping is an easy to do job but you must have a bit of knowledge pertinent the care of plants because seeding is not the only thing to do rather you'll have to pay proper attention to it.
Nursery – A Soothing Place to Spend Time
Nature has something special that does not let a person get bored rather it enlightens the mind. Same is the case with nurseries as you can spend some comfortable hours out of all the hubbub to grow plants. Having a nursery near your house can give your more incredible ideas for landscaping. If you have a spare open area in your house, it can be easily converted into the nursery as there is no specific construction required for it rather all you have to do is choosing some suitable plants and arranging them in a unique way.
Smart Landscaping Ideas
You may have to go through some budget issues and you are delaying the landscaping just to avoid extra expense. Well, some expert landscapers have introduced some smart landscaping ideas where you can minimize the input but the output can be more incredible and you won't have to pay excessive attention. If you possess sound knowledge pertinent the gardening, the look of whole lawn can be enhanced without even investing a lot. Recycled material can also give the benefit of new one only when you use it in an appropriate way. Drip irrigation, xeriscaping, and artificial turf are latest trends followed by most of the landscaping architects because through drip irrigation, cost and time will be saved and the lawn will also be converted into an eye-popping place to throw a party or enjoy the sizzling barbecue.
Greenery along the Sides of Driveway
The driveway is the first thing to be noticed while entering a home and if it looks ordinary, the whole appearance can lose its value because outdoors somehow reveal the picture of indoors. Small plants along the sides of the driveway and perfectly maintained grass can add a marvellous touch to the driveway whereas if you add some lighting, that will be a more splendid idea.
Native and Endemic Plants
As you know all the plants do not grow in the same environment rather some love shades whereas some grow well in the sunlight. Most of the horticulturalists are focusing on growing the endemic and native plants as they are easy to grow and look beautiful as well. However, it is not limited to flowerbeds and shrubs only but they can be grown well on sustainable landscapes.
For effective and better landscaping, weather conditions should also be considered as if you are living in a too rainy area, the excess of water may destroy the plants. Pollination is a brilliant idea to attract hummingbirds, butterflies and bees because it will feel awesome to live in a place where butterflies are flying everywhere around you. More on, if you want to teach proper science concepts to your children, nectar-producing plants can prove helpful and children will also love to play with butterflies.
High Trees
You can't ignore trees while landscaping because they provide oxygen in an excessive quantity that is hard to get from any other source. More on, in summers, trees will help you to keep the burning rays of sun outside your room. Trees look beautiful in every aspect and if you grow a tree of some fruit like apple or pomegranate, it will be more beneficial because you can enjoy fresh seasonal fruits in that case.

Ever painted an entire room with a color you love only to regret it before the last brush stroke dried? Color can be an elusive element in the challenge of creating a beautiful space. Luckily artists can teach us some basic rules of thumb that apply as aptly to decorating your home as to painting a canvas. Read on to get in touch with your inner Van Gogh (or Sherwin Williams)!
Sunrise Watercolor Silk Tapestry
3 Tips On Color To Make Your Home A Work Of Art!
1. . In home decor this translates to selecting a mood for your room. Generally, cool colors like greens, blues, and grays help us to take a deep breath and relax. Warmer tones - reds, yellows, and oranges- perk us up. Color Psychology plays a huge role in home decor!
2. . Artists often use a color wheel for this purpose, but a simple way to achieve this goal is to keep an eye open for everyday items with colors that ring your bell. It can be anything; a book cover, a pillow, fabric, or even a label on your pickle jar! Or if you are in love with, say, sage green, but don't know what colors go well with it, try this cool online color scheme generator tool. It will give you a multitude of gorgeous color palettes built around your color(s) of choice. And, to be inspired by the best in home decor, check out our Watercolor Muse Pinterest Page for a gazillion images of gorgeous rooms in every color under the rainbow.
3.. Consider these artistic methods to achieving color harmony based on the look you are going for:
~ Neutral - Value, the lightness or darkness of a color, plays an especially important role in neutral color schemes. For a chill vibe the majority of the space should be a light or medium shade of a neutral color, like tan or gray, with very light and very dark decorative accents for interest. For more drama reverse the equation, using a higher percentage of high contrast colors like black and white or espresso and cream. Highly textured textiles like bulky, soft throws add character and sensual delight!
~ Bold - A trick to combining several bright or bold colors is to keep the value of these colorful hues the same. For instance, if the mood of the room is playful, jewel tones like turquoise, coral, and yellow will infuse it with energy. Or if it's a rich, Tuscan look you're after, deep, muted shades of teal, burnt orange, and caramel will create an earthy retreat. Want to create a light, coastal vibe? Pastel tints like aqua, peach, and a sandy tan will bring the beach to you! Treat yourself to some beautiful eye candy at our Pinterest Board on Colorful Home Decor Ideas.
~ Pops of Color - Large areas of neutral colors accented with bold colors create a look that is livable and lively - great for rooms we spend a lot of time in. Neutral walls and furniture with colorful accessories like rugs, pillows, linens, and artwork combine for a pulled-together look that is harmonic and expressive. An added bonus is that it's less expensive to change out the accents when you're craving a different look, without investing in big ticket items like a new sofa!
"Feeling blue", "green with envy", "tickled pink" are funny old sayings that have become universal expressions for describing emotion. But maybe they're not just funny. Current research is backing up assertions that color has a significant impact on our state of mind. . Becoming aware of how colors affect you personally is the important thing when it comes to your home decor. Pay attention to the color schemes that attract your eye and make you happy. Our homes are our sanctuaries, where we go to rest, relax, heal, and connect with our loved ones. Making that space a beautiful reflection of our unique tastes is a way of living artfully and mindfully. Be the color you want to see in the world!

text: Recently found in Europe and graded by PCGS at their Paris facility. It is not often that I purchase this date due to the fact that it is so common by the standards of Carson City eagles. But this is such a choice, high end and fresh 1891-CC eagle that I felt I had to add it to my current inventory. It is from the same little group of CC eagles that featured the 1883-CC and 1893-CC listed above and below and it merits special consideration for its dazzling frosty luster, rich natural golden-orange color and overall eye appeal. This piece is as well made as any Philadelphia or San Francisco eagle of this era with all details up and bold. The surfaces show just a few light, well-dispersed ticks and were it not for a small cluster of abrasions in the left obverse, it would receive strong consideration at the 64 level. The 1891-CC eagle is common in MS60 to MS62 but it is scarce in MS63 and rare above this. Given the fact that it is a "generic" issue in the CC eagle series, most advanced collectors are happy to have an example in MS63 in their set, especially as properly graded MS64's seem expensive at $15,000+ for a properly graded example.

Oh snap! Chloe has a short fuse, eh? Or maybe its just the subject of Sabrina gets her upset? In any case, Jennifer sure took some serious heat. Kat was there ready-quick to help diffuse the situation with some smooth talking and some wine, which is the French's achilles heel (Chloe is french, in case you didn't know). 😛
What's next for the Hell's Belles is anyone's guess but we're going to go see what the Upstart girls are up to next update and see if they're at each others throats already or playing nice.
UPDATE: I have updated the Gallery page with new pictures of the Rival Angel girls that was only previously seen in Voting Incentive, AND I've add some WALLPAPER to the Extras section. Check them out and let me know what you think.

Shippensburg University students and locals lined up outide SU's Heiges Field House Sunday night in near freezing temperatures until warmth and music greeted them on the inside —making their momentary feelings of misery a rewarding strife.
Primarily female fans contrasted by the stray male, packed themselves like sardines as they loyally awaited the star many college-aged adults were crazy about in their pre-teen years — Jesse McCartney. As could be predicted, McCartney was hugged with a plethora of blood-curdling female shrills that meshed together in unison as he strutted on stage.
"It's been awhile," McCartney said. "But I'm excited to be back."
McCartney roused the audience after he announced that he will be releasing new music within the new year, and he let the jolt of high energy lead the way to the beginning of his set list.
Fans were pleased to hear McCartney play songs from the early 2000s including "Leavin'" and "Body Language," rather than focusing solely on promoting his new music. The time lapse of more than a decade did not faze the audience as they chanted the lyrics of nearly all of McCartney's old songs by heart.
Midway throughout his time on stage, McCartney searched the crowd for a lady to serenade on stage and every female in sight flailed her arms, practically begging "Pick me, Pick me!" A lucky SU student was crowned as the sole victor and trembled with disbelief as she sat onstage and claimed the once in a lifetime prize of being sung to by McCartney.
Fan favorite throwback "Beautiful Soul," concluded McCartney's performance on a nostalgic note that was hard for Andy Grammer to supersede. Some departed the venue as McCartney departed the stage, but a majority was blithely buckled in for the two-in-one show.
Grammer monopolized the stage from the moment he stepped foot on it and commenced his share of the show with hit-songs "Keep Your Head Up" and "Fine By Me." As he trailed his opening songs with a strong set list of "Fresh Eyes" and "Honey I'm Good," Grammer caught fans by surprise by jumping the barricades separating him from the sea of fans and becoming a part of the audience.
Similar to McCartney who brought a fan on stage during his performance, an SU student was pulled from the audience to sing a duet of the song "Give Love" with Grammer. The SU student thrived in the spotlight and spilled his powerful vocals and dance moves onto the stage — impressing his peers and Grammer with his talent and contagious energy.
Toward the tail end of his performance, Grammer teased fans with new music from his album "The Good Parts" that will drop on Dec. 1. His upcoming album lyrically taps into his new life as a father and also how freeing it is of to talk to people on a deeper level about good parts of life that are not always the easiest to share, rather than being robotically drawn to trivial small talk.
Looping again to throwbacks, Grammer ended the show with the song "Good To Be Alive (Hallelujah)" from his 2014 album "Magazines or Novels." Dimming lights snuck up on the fleeting time of concertgoers and all romped around and sang with Grammer one final time.
The coupled McCartney and Grammer performance gracefully hurled fans back a few years with the catchy tunes that hooked individuals – but the announcement of new music for McCartney and Grammer in 2018 presents the possibility to rekindle their fan bases and build on their music.

Our Job: Create new business branding, website, online identity and generate business personality.
What we did: After our initial meetings we started to create branding that was fun and different, but professional and also very approachable. The target demographics were parents that are looking to invest in their child's future. After we finalized the branding we then got to work on the website.
For the website they were looking for something that was clean, presented key information effectively, but wasn't too aggressive and had a personality. First we developed an overall look and feel of the website that perfectly captures the brand then we populated it with custom targeted content.

Train Scale
The train scale is the size of the model train compared to an actual train, and model railroading takes place in many scales. Every model railroader knows that train scale is important because this will be the foundation of your model railroad. Major scales have been labeled Z, N, HO, S, O, Standard, and G. The scales listed are in order from the smallest Z to G which is the largest. There are various factors you must consider when choosing the train scale that will suit you such as your budget, the space at home, your eyesight, (Those Z Scale models are really small!) and time you want to devote for the details. A little thought about what you want and need will provide you a satisfying railroad modeling experience. Trainz offers a wide range of trains in all scales that will help you meet your needs.
