A typical session lasts between 1-2 hours at a location of your choice or in the comfort of your own home. There is no saying cheese, no posing or angling your head to the left, no matching white tops and jeans. Instead, you get to do what you do best and just be you! You can cuddle your new baby, you can play tickle chase, you can toss your kids in the air, you can make sand pancakes and jump over the waves, you can make cookies and read books, you can take the dog for a walk and have a play on the playground, or you can sit quietly together and have a cuddle...whatever it is that makes you you!
The sessions are fun and usually full of laughter, but mostly they are natural, honest and real. They are full of emotion and connections. They are the chance to see the beauty in yourself and your family while capturing a small piece of your story. This is how memories are made and stories are told!
After your session, I'll select the best images to be professionally edited. Within three weeks of your session date, you'll receive access to a password protected online proofing gallery for you to view, download your images and order from.
I believe very strongly in offering you the FULL service, from planning your session to providing you with beautiful artwork that is ready to display in your home. I offer a choice of packages with varying amounts of digital images to the full gallery, with the option to purchase print products after your session. All sessions come with a personalised slideshow for you to download and keep. Newborn and Family Sessions start from $500.
Motherhood Sessions start from $350.
Please contact me for a full price list.

Evil Dead: The Musical Inspired by Sam Raimi's cult trilogy of Evil Dead horror films, Evil Dead: The Musical is unabashedly populist entertainment. Five teens go to a remote cabin for spring break, summon an evil spirit and spend the rest of the night killing one another in increasingly horrific ways — and they sing while they do it. The dialogue is terrible, the jokes are worse and the blood flows freely and frequently. It's great fun, especially with a cast that takes behaving stupidly so seriously. Gregory Cuellar plays leading man Ash with hammy intensity, Julie Venegoni plays his first love interest, Linda, with sweetness — until she becomes a murderous demon. Truth be told, director Chris Owens wrings furious and funny performances from the entire cast. Presented by Stray Dog Theatre through October 31 at the Tower Grove Abbey, 2336 Tennessee Avenue. Tickets are $20 to $35 ($18 for students and seniors). Call 314-865-1995 or visit www.straydogtheatre.org. (PF)
High Sister Jamison (portrayed by film star Kathleen Turner) is a triple threat: a nun, a recovering alcoholic and a social worker. The bullying sister meets her match when she's assigned to the case of a drug-addicted street hustler who might also be a child murderer. Beautifully lit and slickly designed, the Broadway-bound High turns out to be a formulaic evening in the guise of drama. As the raw production drags the viewer through a litany of debasement, it strives mightily to shock and surprise. Yet when the tumultuous evening is over, the biggest surprise might be how little you've actually felt. Through November 7 at the Loretto-Hilton Center, 130 Edgar Road, Webster Groves. Tickets are $18.50 to $70. Call 314-968-4925 or visit www.repstl.org. — Dennis Brown

Although ties between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and People's Republic of China started relatively late, today, the relationship between the two countries has developed beyond diplomatic, economic or political affairs.
Their ties have expanded further to different fields including culture and education. The bonds between Riyadh and Beijing in the fields of education and technology have developed rapidly and positively over the past few years.
Despite the fact that little has been documented on the number of students in both countries, it is believed that the number of students going to study overseas from Saudi Arabia to China, or vice versa, has been increasing recently. According to a report published in 2011, there were approximately 1,100 Saudi students enrolled in different universities in several cities across China, and the number is expected to increase this year. Meanwhile, the Chinese government is also encouraging their students to study at Saudi universities. It was reported that there are 270 Chinese students enrolled in a number of Suudi universities.
It has been also recently reported that there are approximately 200 Chinese students and teachers at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) and it is estimated that the largest single foreign representation in KAUST are Chinese nationals.
Beijing's interest in strengthening its educational relationship with the kingdom over the past few years can also be seen by the participation of several Chinese institutions in the International Education and Conference on Higher Education that is held in Riyadh annually. On the other hand, Saudi Arabia also often participates in an exhibition on education in China to provide prospective students from China with appropriate information regarding opportunities to study in the kingdom. Moreover, the alliance between Beijing and Riyadh has featured numerous exchanges involving teachers and students. Over the years, a number of students and teachers from Saudi Arabia visited China, and vice-versa, to exchange knowledge and know-how.
In order to fortify their relationships, a number of agreements and treaties pertaining to education and research have been signed by the governments of China and Saudi Arabia. In 2011, a Saudi delegation from more than 20 higher institutes, led by the education minister, visited the Chinese capital. During the visit, these universities signed 10 agreements with different Chinese institutions in the fields of higher education.
Soon after this visit, Chinese delegations, representing several universities also paid a visit to the kingdom.
In his visit in the following year, Zhang Ping, the chairman of the National Development and Reform Commission of China, signed an agreement between Beijing University and King Abdulaziz Public Library (KAPL). This agreement will expand the cooperation between the two institutions as well as to allow KAPL to establish its branch in China. Saudi Arabia's former Ambassador to China Yahya al Zaid said, "we have signed more than 30 agreements concerning Saudi and Chinese universities," with the most recent one during the recent visit of the kingdom's Defense Minister and Crown Prince Salman Bin Abdul Aziz al Saud early this month.
What is particularly interesting is that the Saudis have reportedly signed an agreement with their Chinese counterparts on the development and the use of atomic energy for peaceful purposes.
In addition, each country also encourages students to study in one another's' country by offering academic scholarships. It has been reported that many Saudi students received academic scholarships granted by Chinese companies operating in the kingdom. These students are sent abroad to China to receive technical training not available to them in Saudi Arabia. Also the Chinese government is offering scholarships to professionals who wish to pursue further education.
With full backing from the government in Beijing, the King Abdullah Scholarship program also highlights China as one of the five destination countries in Asia for its prospective students. Both Riyadh and Beijing are assisting the development of education in each other's country in terms of construction and development.
In 2009, a deal was made between the Saudi Ministry of Education and the China Railway Construction Company (CRCC) to build nearly 200 public schools across the kingdom. The Saudi Fund for Development (SFD) has also reportedly signed an agreement to provide a loan of $25 million to help a school project in Tianshui, a city in Gansu province. This agreement was made in 2008 and was used to build laboratories, classrooms, libraries, as well as student hostels. While fostering cooperation is not a simple process, through the use of scholarships, exchanges, exhibitions, and aids, the bonds between Beijing and Riyadh have expanded to spheres far beyond that of only education.
China's rapidly increasing energy needs, combined with the economic decline in the United States and Europe, may lead China and Saudi Arabia, as well as other countries in the Gulf to enter a new level of engagement in different aspects. It is expected that both countries will intensify their relationship, exchanges and cooperation in the field of education for many years to come.

The end of May saw us inundated with feathered friends-starting with a goose called Pixie and a cry for help.
Old friends give pixie a home.
Raised by them from a gosling, pixie become a family pet living in their garden with a dog for a companion she shared his food and slept alongside him in a bed in the kitchen until she grew up and the garden was no longer safe as pixie could take off and fly over the fence. Worried for the safety they reluctantly felt that she would be safer at the sanctuary.
It was a sad parting when they left but pixie bonded with Jo and myself. Highly inquisitive following us around obviously thinking she was in charge of all the other in mates including ourselves. she now spends her days bulling lambs, chickens, goats and often walks into the house to harass the dogs.

Han - Big yellow Labrador Retriever. Friendliest dog ever!"
That's how I described him on my family page. After yesterday I'm now convinced that he's a butthead.
I noticed that he had a small patch of hair missing so I was concerned about him. Now I can't have my buddy being sick so I took him to the veterinarian to have him checked out and he made a serious fax pas. I guess the smell of all the animals that had been in that office freaked him out. I could tell he was really nervous as soon as we walked in. I started talking to the receptionist when I noticed an awful smell. I turned around and Han was taking a huge poop right in the middle of the floor. Since he was the only dog in the room it was kind of hard to blame it on anyone else. I don't think they would have believed that huge pile came from the gerbil being held by the little girl.
Needless to say, that started our visit off on a sour note.
Footnote: It turns out that Han has a small skin infection and I have some cream to put on him for a week or so.
Don't judge me,

This monsoon session, it's raining languages in RS and Venkaiah Naidu creates 'record'
New Delhi, July 19: If you are thinking that the monsoon session of Parliament is going to be another period of waste of tax payers' money as it started on a stormy note, then you are wrong.
Our parliamentarians do some productive work too, but unfortunately all get lost over the noises surrounding the war of words between the leaders inside the Houses.
The good news is that now parliamentarians in the Rajya Sabha can speak in 22 Indian languages as they have the access to simultaneous interpretation in all these languages.
To demonstrate how parliamentarians can easily speak in their choice of language on the floor of the House, Rajya Sabha Chairperson M Venkaiah Naidu on Wednesday set a record of sorts when he spoke in 10 languages on the opening day of the monsoon session.
Of the 22 languages listed in the Eighth Schedule, the Rajya Sabha earlier had simultaneous interpretation services for 17 languages including Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Oriya, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu.
These services have now been made available for Rajya Sabha members to speak in five more languages -- Dogri, Kashmiri, Konkani, Santhali and Sindhi, Naidu announced.
Making the announcement, Naidu spoke few words in Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Nepali, Oriya, Punjabi, Tamil and Telugu to inform the members about the simultaneous interpretation service.
However, members will have to give a prior notice for the interpreter in the Upper House secretariat. Naidu said there may be some shortcoming in the beginning as translators may not be attuned to the speed of the speaker.
Describing it as a wonderful gesture, Rajya Sabha member Subramanian Swamy said efforts should be made to include Sanskrit words too in the vocabulary.
Naidu said the Rajya Sabha has for the first time in 66 years signed a pact with a parliamentary institution of a foreign nation when it entered into an MoU with the Senate of Rawanda earlier this month.
The MoU provides for inter-parliamentary dialogue and parliamentary exchange visits among others, he said. Till now, only the Lok Sabha used to enter into such kind of agreements with foreign parliamentary institutions.
Now, next time you switch on your television set to watch the proceedings inside the Rajya Sabha, then you might end up picking up a few words from various languages of the country.

Goedgedacht Applied Theatre Project/
About Applied Theatre Projects
Applied Theatre refers to the practice of theatre and drama in non-traditional settings and/or with marginalized communities. The focus is on the use of theatre to grapple with complex social issues and to offer a platform and voice to silenced minorities. Emphasis is placed on the processes of creating theatre that reflects the authentic voice of the participants and the process culminates in a performance that is open to peers and the wider community. In this way, the wider community network is engaged in the process whilst the participants have the powerful experience of having their work witnessed. Our applied theatre projects are facilitated by trained applied theatre practitioners and drama therapists.
Since 2012, sp(i)eel has been working with the Goedgedacht Path out of Poverty Program (POP) where Applied Theatre Practitioners visited the Goedgedacht farm on a weekly basis.
This project was identified to address social issues in an area where rural youth struggle with communication, confidence, dignity and identity. Our aims are to instil hope, passion and purpose in the lives of the young people and to offer them the opportunity to express and share their stories.

Born in 1987, I grew up in the west of Germany between extinct volcanos, forests and fields. With my first teacher in photography, I travelled across the country and got access into many different corners of our society. I left shyness behind and learned to interact with carpenters, scientists and chairmen.
In 2012, I began to work with analogue cameras as well as the process of developing and printing Black/White images in the darkroom. My relationship to photography became more intimate through this reflected way of working with different kind of old cameras. I began to understand photography as something I could express myself with and take others on a journey to people and their souls.
The studies at 'Ostkreuzschule für Fotografie' in Berlin taught me to search for the truth in things, to dig deeper until I would find the core of what I really care about, in life and when taking a photograph.
Being on the road, feeding myself with new impressions of the lands and the people has always been a constant need for me. The freedom of going to wherever intuition brings me, living only with the most necessary things, out in the nature or a different culture is the most giving source of creativity and life energy for me. Today I commute between Europe and the rest of the world, photographing and life loving.

What does a refugee family look like?
Refugee families are vulnerable people fleeing conflict. The Syrian Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme (VPRS) resettles those who are affected by the Syrian crisis, which means most families resettled in the UK under the VPRS or the Vulnerable Childrens Resettlement Scheme (VPCS) are Syrian, although some may be from other nationalities such as Iraqi or Sudanese. They will primarily be Arabic speakers and are referred by the UNHCR (United Nations High Commission for Refugees) from the region surrounding Syria. These families primarily have Arabic as their main language. Sponsors are not able to identify or select a specific individual, family or nationality to sponsor, but it is possible to indicate the type of language support that can be provided on the application form.
The resettled family will be granted refugee status and five years 'leave to remain' in the UK. During this time, they will have the right to work and access to public funds including being able to claim mainstream benefits. After five years the resettled family will have the option to apply for indefinite leave to remain in the UK.

The Tel Quel Reader (1998)
Filed under book | Tags: · art criticism, cultural theory, film criticism, film theory, literary criticism, literary theory, psychoanalysis, science, semiotics, tel quel, theory
"The work of the French literary review, intellectual grouping and publishing team Tel Quel had a profound impact on the formation of literary and cultural debate in the 1960s and 70s. Its legacy has had enormous influence on the parameters of such debate today. From its beginning in 1960 to its closure in 1982, it published some of the earliest work of Jacques Derrida, Julia Kristeva, Michel Foucault and Roland Barthes. It was also associated with some of the key ideas of the French avant-garde, publishing key articles by Georges Bataille and Antonin Artaud.
The Tel Quel Reader presents for the first time in English the key essays written by the Tel Quel group. Essays by Julia Kristeva, one of the review's editor's Michel Foucault, and a fascinating interview with Roland Barthes are here made available for the first time in English. It provides a unique insight into the post-structuralist movement and presents some of the pioneering essays on literature and culture, film, semiotics and psychoanalysis."

John M. MacGregor: The Discovery of the Art of the Insane (1989)
Filed under book | Tags: · art brut, art history, outsider art, psychiatry, psychoanalysis
"This pioneering work, the first history of the art of the insane, scrutinizes changes in attitudes toward the art of the mentally ill from a time when it was either ignored or ridiculed, through the era when major figures in the art world discovered the extraordinary power of visual statements by psychotic artists such as Adolf Wölfli and Richard Dadd. John MacGregor draws on his dual training in art history and in psychiatry and psychoanalysis to describe not only this evolution in attitudes but also the significant influence of the art of the mentally ill on the development of modern art as a whole. His detailed narrative, with its strangely beautiful illustrations, introduces us to a fascinating group of people that includes the psychotic artists, both trained and untrained, and the psychiatrists, psychoanalysts, critics, and art historians who encountered their work."

Filed under catalogue | Tags: · animism, art, colonialism, conceptual art, ethnology, modernity, psychoanalysis
"Animism. Modernity through the Looking Glass takes its cue from the ethnological concept of animism that emerged in the nineteenth century in the context of colonialism in search of a "primal" religion. The term was applied to cultures that view nature and objects as having a soul and a life of their own. This concept borrowed from ethnology also plays a key role in psychoanalysis, where it denotes a mental state in which the inner and outer worlds are not distinct from each other.
The catalogue brings together artworks, documents, and artifacts to create an essayistic visual space that points to the need for a decolonialization and revision of this traditional understanding of animism. The show juxtaposes historical materials such as early attempts to animate technologically reproduced images with contemporary works addressing the line between life and non-life."
With essays by Sabine Folie, Anselm Franke, Isabelle Stengers, and conversation with Elisabeth von Samsonow by Angela Melitopoulos and Maurizio Lazzarato.

Champaign County's annual budget has been crippled by too many inmates, but the number of those jailed and the costs of housing them in 2013 were the lowest in over a decade.
Increased electronic monitoring and faster inmate processing are two reasons why, local officials said.
Between 2006 and 2010, the county averaged more than $420,000 in prisoner overage costs — the amount charged for exceeding the number of beds allotted for Champaign County at the Tri-County Jail. However, 2013 was the first year in the last 10 that it dropped to less than $100,000.
"We had one year we had to go through and cut every department a certain percentage of money just to make up for the overages," Champaign County Commissioner Bob Corbett said. "By it being turned around where it's under control and within our limits at the jail, we are more whole now and able to do things how we should do them."
Corbett credits the collaborative effort of Common Pleas Court Judge Nick Selvaggio, Champaign County Prosecutor Kevin Talebi and Tri-County Regional Jail Director Scott Springhetti.
"It's just such a blessing to have that turned around now," Corbett said.
Instead of sending a low-level, first-time, non-violent felony drug offender to prison, the court system has started to use electronic monitoring to track their location, according to Talebi.
"It's a matter of taking a look at our community's resources, the little amount of resources we have available, and figuring out the best way to spend those resources," he said.
The Tri-County Regional Jail oversees the ankle monitors, which alerts authorities if someone strays outside of their designated area. The jail is in favor of the monitors because they keep the jail's numbers down. This also lessens the conflicts in the jail, Springhetti said.
Champaign County Common Pleas Court has 18 ankle monitors, 13 from a grant and five that the court bought last year.
"My goal in my first year in office was to manage the jail population in such a manner as to control costs without sacrificing public safety," Selvaggio said.
Corbett said the ankle monitors save the county money, upwards of $50 a day per ankle monitor, and believes it's better for the individual.
"Going to jail, all it does is probably teach them more ways to get more drugs. If they have ankle monitor, we know where they are," Corbett said.
Another factor that has contributed to the decrease in jail costs was the speed of the court system. In 2013, it took the court on average 1.88 days to turn around a sentencing entry compared to 7.36 days and 8.06 days in 2012 and 2011, respectively.
"By getting the court's sentencing paperwork out faster, it enables the clerk, sheriff and jail to process the necessary paperwork for them to move inmates in and out of the jail quicker and ultimately move them to their ultimate destinations, whether it be out-of-custody rehabilitation, residential treatment — like the West Central Community Based Correctional Facility — or prison," Selvaggio said.
Last year, Champaign County paid $96,075 in prison overage cost. The county is allowed 52 beds per day at the Tri-County Jail, and in 2013 the county was over its allotment by 1,674 prisoners. In 2007, the worst year to date, the county was over its allotment by 3,040 prisoners and paid $566,000 in prison overages.
Higher jail populations result in increased inmate medical expenses, and public defender and sheriff's office costs, which hindered the county's budget in the past, Corbett said.

February 18, 2018 (SSB) — In the spot of public attention, it's in a rare occurrence in the world to see a peace agreement reached for the country only to plunge back into violence just a couple of months later, no doubt South Sudan exemplified itself. In 2015 Peace accord was signed between two elephants after grasses suffered, new governments formed and sworn in and institutions were to be built to channel conflicting interest in a post-conflict environment. This was popularly seen as a formal termination of violent conflict marking the beginning of what was believed to be a long and winding road from war to peace once again.
After the experience of violence and in the wake of new unified leadership, no doubt hopes were high that South Sudan has finally returned to peace. The expectations of the people who were personally affected by the fighting in all aspects of lives and who have to find their way in the newly achieved peace were believed to be paramount in the heart of our leaders. But again the hopes and wishes of the suffering civilians within our borders turn into a nightmare when the armed confrontation erupted again at the center of South Sudanese authority in 2016.
The current fateful and lukewarm position of the country leaders to achieve peace on the regional table of Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) evokes hopelessness in the severely affected country-wide population. Nowhere is this sense of despair more evident than South Sudan. No other country has ever experienced a more deadly combination of invisible external aggression embedded in the thirst of our gifted natural resources, foreign-linked factionalism, intra-tribal violent, factional strife and politically motivated ethnic rivalries.
Nowhere else ever in Africa has a power struggle conflict of interest exacted a more horrendous price in human lives lost, economic and financial resources squandered and developmental opportunities wasted. The scale of disaster as I speak is in sharp contrast with the polite indifference of international community in the face of this unprecedented human tragedy.
When one considers the multiplicity of conflict dimensions take for example the fluidity of factional alliances, the spillover of ethnic violence within the country borders and extreme fragmentation of social fabric and the lukewarm of leaders in bringing sustainable peace, then it is easy to see why the international community should have second thoughts about the wisdom of a concerted peace initiative as would be an alternative conflict resolution.
At the eve of revitalization was the ceasefire and cessation of hostilities which indeed purportedly adhered to and signed thereafter by warring parties, yet the secession of fighting would always lead to a more permanent peace but a phenomenon in our case remain indifferent, following series of violations with impunity few hours before the ink on the paper could be dried, making the one to clear his throat and ask of where about the peace around the corner. But again, this would be compelled layman citizen on street to ask what is that our leaders want, peace or war.
Of course, none of the parties would say war being an option. And perhaps peace, null and void a proof of withdrawal from the talk. If we cannot overtly proclaim to go to war and not finding avenues to search for compromises and flexibilities to achieve peace, then what next to do we go for that lies between war and peace? Moreover, why do we invent war if we cannot stop it? Did we prepare for war to get peace? Absolutely no, we would have gotten it since enough has been enough.
Now peace is gone and disappeared in a thin air, communities are left to think that the fabric that once made up social life and that provided some reference as to what is wrong and right will still remain in shambles. Physical scars will cease to heal, and perhaps, will continue to be more visible, personal ones will remain in hiding, the destruction of infrastructures will continue to devastate. How can we continue to make sense of our living again amid an unsympathetic economic crisis of no alternative?
I presume that the hell is between war and peace in our case. Even in the bible where everyone of Christian background is spiritually held to choose by his/her deeds between hell and paradise, no one would intentionally dare to undertake the former as our leaders are now hypothetically opted for war than peace as the only cost benefit in the conflict resolution.
If we cannot potentially bring lasting peace and we don't overtly admit to having chosen war, then where do we fall between the incompatible parameters? The inevitable answer could be hell since there is no middle ground thereof.

Oh boy, Chandler Scott is back and I have missed him dearly. He still have that shy grin and that super sexy fuzzy body. Danny Cannon is also back and he is ready to push the envelope a bit more. I can't wait to see if they still have it so let's get to it.
They begin by kissing slowly and softly, allowing their nerves to settle. They peel clothes off as there lips continue to embrace. Danny slowly but surely makes his way down to his knees, removes Chandler's briefs, and stuffs his cock into his mouth. He helps Chandler's cock get nice and stiff as sucks it. The boys switch places so that Chandler can return the favor. He doesn't have to work hard to get Danny's cock stiff, the boy salutes with wood almost instantly.
Chandler then bends him over the bed and enters him from behind. He takes his time and lets Danny's hole adjust to the size of his meat. But once it does, he begins to drill his dick in deeper and deeper. His raw dick beats in Chandler's soft walls. Danny's fat ass bounces with each stroke Chandler delivers. Chandler only stops momentarily to kiss Danny's soft lips and to reposition him on his side. He slides back in and continues to massage Danny's sweet hole. Once again, he starts off slow but he soon picks up the pace and pounds Danny's insides. Each stroke brings Danny closer to climax until he shoots warm jizz all over his chest. Chandler doesn't pull out immediately. He continues to pound until he shoots his own load on Danny.

You have been given an opportunity to have a movie made about your life. What actor/actress would play you? And what would the plot of the movie be?
Sara Gilbert. D always said he'd be played by Christian Slater, but I think Rick(y) Schroder.
There would be no plot. My life has no plot. It would be two people talking in endless pop culture references until it circled back around again, then... credits.

NEW YORK (MainStreet) -- Boomers are packing up their McMansions and making a lifestyle change: they're moving from their houses with room for the kids and making room for their RV. In some cases, walk-in closets are being replaced with a drive-through home.
Bud Dietrich, an architect in the Tampa Bay area, says it's all a part of a Boomer transition.
"Boomers have spent the last 40 or 50 years collecting stuff," Dietrich says. "What I've been seeing over the last couple of years -- which seems to be an ongoing trend that's accelerating -- is Boomers trying to shed some stuff. Boomers are trying to simplify their life."
Prior to the Great Recession, Dietrich says Boomers were building giant houses -- used to entertain large groups of family members just once per year. Now, the generation is downsizing. Many are moving to their vacation homes as more permanent addresses while trading the sprawling family home for a condo or townhouse.
"They're happy to pay homeowner association fees to have somebody take care of the grounds and the exterior maintenance -- as opposed to spending every weekend out there mowing the lawn," he adds. "They don't want to do that anymore."
One-in-five homebuyers over 50 are single females, according to the National Association of Realtors. Dietrich says these buyers are often looking for multiple master suites, convenient for family guests on extended stays – or even roommates.
And "active" communities, or 55+ developments, are growing in popularity.
"And they're not just in Florida," Dietrich says. "In fact, a friend of my wife's, she just moved to one in New Jersey."
The active social life and camaraderie is what the Boomers crave most -- more than a capacious manse equipped for rearing a brood of children.
"At our clubhouse, we've got tennis courts, two swimming pools, a bocce court and dinner dances -- a lot of social events," Dietrich says. "It becomes a sort of nexus for your social life. One of our friends, their grandchildren call it camp for grandma and grandpa. It helps you stay young."
Retirees are looking for particular features in their homes, though. They want master bedrooms with adjoining seating areas, expansive kitchen and family room combinations and remote guest bedrooms so visitors have "their own wing of the house."
One-floor living is another trend Dietrich is seeing -- single-story homes of around 2,000 square feet with low maintenance allowing the freedom to travel. He cites a common scenario, a Boomer couple in transition:
"Until last week, they had a 5,000 square foot house pretty close to Tampa," he says. "A couple of years ago, we renovated a ranch house in St. Pete beach, on the water where they could have their boat and the dock behind the house." The couple just sold the larger house as well as their business and downsized to the 2,200 square-foot home on the beach. "They're going to travel a lot," Dietrich says. "It's part of making your house simple and making your life simple so that you can travel."
And that's where the drive-through RV home comes in.
"Lots of times, when people own an RV they put this big garage next to the home -- it really isn't a part of the home," Dietrich says. "I mean it's really this kind of ugly wart on the side of the house."
But architect Andrew Hinman of Austin, Texas actually integrated an aluminum trailer into a "steel-framed, metal-roofed cradle" of a Texas ranch house, with storage, two bathrooms and a screened sleeping loft and tower. The trailer and enclosure sit about 30 feet above the Nueces River.
Dietrich says it is the perfect rest-and-recharge oasis for travelers. Once ready to resume their adventures, a couple could just roll out of the house, lock up and hit the road.

Belle Toffee is a family candy company built on generations of love for gourmet toffee.
Our Story
The Belle Toffee story began in the 1950s with packages of heavenly toffee arriving at the Marak household at Christmastime. The cook: Aunt Ida Belle.
"We all loved it," said founder and nephew Larry Marak.
With childhood memories still abundant, Larry sought out the recipe when he and his wife Joyce were first married. But Aunt Ida Belle was a little protective of her baking secrets.
"I'm going to have to think about it," was her response.
Larry finally got the recipe in a roundabout manner: Ida Belle gave it to Larry's mom, who passed it onto him.
When they finally got the coveted recipe, it was a spare set of instructions on a 3x5 card.
"It described how to make it … almost," said Larry.
Trial and error was required. Years of it. But the Maraks didn't give up.
The challenge? Candy making is art. But it's also science. Cooked almonds must "pop." Temperatures must be precise and measured. All ingredients are not equal.
Larry, with a background in engineering, kept tweaking this and that. He kept careful logs on every recipe and variation.
Then one day, it was bound to happen. Tested, tasted and … voila! They had come upon the golden batch. Aunt Ida Belle's toffee had been re-created. It was the first of many wonderful replications.
Larry and Joyce began sharing the candy on holidays as Ida Belle had done. That's when his son Jon and daughter-in-law Tracy saw the potential to share it with the world.
"They said 'You've got something unique.'"
A trial balloon was launched when the toffee was offered for sale at a charitable fund-raiser. Every last tin was purchased. In 2009, Larry retired from engineering and put his full-time efforts into Belle Toffee.
The toffee started getting local press, then made its way into several gourmet food stores, trade shows, events, then online.
We hope the story continues as our toffee makes its way into your home, family and traditions.
"I get a good feeling talking to people about it and seeing their reaction," said Larry. "We like to make people happy."
Our ingredients
We use authentic ingredients and wouldn't settle for anything less. That means painstakingly seeking out just the right chocolate, the perfect almond and eschewing shortcuts often used in large-scale factory production.
Our ingredients are cane sugar, creamery butter, almonds from California, hazelnuts from Oregon, and espresso. We use imported Belgian dark and milk chocolate for the almond toffee and a Columbian dark chocolate for the hazelnut espresso toffee.
Our highest compliment is the endorsement of others. We appreciate these kind words and hope you'll share their sentiment about Belle Toffee.
"Belle Toffee is making me happy this week and every week. It's made locally and it's the best toffee I've ever eaten. I've given it to friends for their birthdays. Check it out."
Tina Harryman, Lee's Summit Go
"They brought some samples in and we thought it was about the best toffee we've ever had. They provide us samples and people taste it, love it and buy it. The quality level is way up there. I personally love it. Dark chocolate hazelnut espresso is my favorite."
Ron Shalinksi, The Better Cheddar, Kansas City, Mo.
"It's delicious and our customers love it. Sometimes we have a hard time keeping it in stock. It flies off the shelves here. Once our customers taste it they always buy it. You have to try it."
Marilyn James, A Thyme for Everything

The article is based on ethnographic fieldwork in two field sites in Oslo, Norway, that involved a sample of sixty-seven children. I discuss how ten year-old girls do gender and romance in the light of "junior" and "senior" (hetero)sexuality in the social context of romance. Considering the Norwegian media's worry concerning a presumed sexualization of childhood and the disappearance of childhood, I describe in detail what happens between partners in what is known as a going-out-with-relationship. These relationships, primarily characterized by play and not by physical intimacy, illustrate that sexual innocence in childhood still exists.

Fainting, Homosociality, and Elite Male Culture in Middle English Romance
Rachel E. Moss
In Middle English romances, public and semi-public displays of emotion are used by elite men to strengthen and promote hegemonic masculinity. This article examines how male fainting, as an act witnessed and sometimes replicated by an audience of men, serves to reinforce homosocial bonds, and to highlight the heroic qualities that make these characters capable of such deep, public sorrow. Late medieval patriarchy is dependent upon the homosocial bonding of elite men, and as such lionizes not only friendship between individual men, but also their collective unity as a body bound by social, political, and emotional ties. Fainting, as a performative act, provides a physical representation of both this collective identity and of specific virtues associated with male nobility.

Mobility, Liquidity and History in Shakespeare's Mediterranean
Rui Carvalho Homem
This article probes the ability of Shakespearean drama to provide expressive resources for coming to terms (conceptually, discursively) with current crises. These include both the power games of global finance, and those disasters that ostensibly concern other strands of geopolitics. The article focuses on two plays, The Comedy of Errors and Pericles, the actions of which unfold in the eastern Mediterranean – an area of the world associated, in the late modern imagination, either with mobility as pleasure (mass tourism and its apparatus) or mobility as crisis (disputed territories, the plight of displaced populations). It highlights the close bonds between prevalent modes – satire and farce in The Comedy of Errors, romance in Pericles – and the plays' distinct strategies for representing human mobility: the sense of agency proper to acquisitive urges, the victimhood of forced displacement.
Christina Oesterheld
This article illustrates the impact of generic differences and changes in the social and political context on the use of emotion concepts such as love and passion in selected Urdu novels from 1869 until 1945. While Nazir Ahmad (1830/31–1912) and Rashid-ul Khairi (1868–1936) in their domestic novels tend to stress the control of passions, particularly in familial relationships, Abdul Halim Sharar (1860–1926) in his Islamic novels/historical romances allows for romantic attraction and propagates religious fervor, bringing him closer to the emotion vocabulary used in contemporary Urdu journalism. This format was later expanded by Nasim Hijazi (1914–1996), who sought to strengthen the enthusiasm of fellow Muslims in their fight for Pakistan. In this highly popular genre strong feelings and passions serve to arouse intense feeling for the Muslim community.
Beyond the Male Romance
Repetition as Failure and Success in Apocalypse Now
Andrew Michael Roberts and Peter Easingwood
The question posed by Francis Coppola's film Apocalypse Now is a very Conradian one: what does this experience mean? Apart of Conrad's achievement as a writer was to introduce epistemological and existential questions into narratives of adventure. In this way Conrad transformed the nineteenth-century masculine romance of exploration, conquest, war and heroism into a modernist form capable of raising profound philosophical and political issues. While Coppola's film is not a version of Heart of Darkness so much as a radical reworking of Conrad's novella in the context of the Vietnam War, Conrad's text played a crucial part both in the initial idea of the film and in the problematic final stages of its production when the director, tormented by the inability to find a satisfactory ending, returned again and again to Conrad's text. In this paper we want to suggest that the concern with the problem of meaning which Coppola derives from Conrad initially led the director astray, in a search for existential meaning in a situation where only a politicised account could be ethically responsive. Eventually, however, Conrad's sense of meaning as above all problematic and elusive helped Coppola to introduce into his film a questioning of its own processes which rescued it from some of the simplistic or ideologically blind features of many Vietnam war films. In particular, it led the film to engage fruitfully if uncertainly with the issues raised by the very project of the representation of war: the complicity of the spectator, the problem of the aestheticisation of violence, the problem of communicability itself. In making this argument we draw on the miasma of inter-texts which surrounds Apocalypse Now like a Conradian 'misty halo': these include, not only Heart of Darkness itself, but Eleanor Coppola's film Hearts of Darkness and her book Notes on the Making of Apocalypse Now, as well as Dispatches, the documentary narrative about Vietnam by Michael Herr, who wrote the voice-over narrative for Coppola's film.
Melville's Omoo
Romance and Reality
Robert C. Suggs
Previous analyses of Melville's Typee and Omoo revealed significant problems in accuracy and extensive paraphrasing from unacknowledged sources. The present article reconsiders Omoo, drawing on relevant literature of the period and on linguistic, geographic and ethnographic information unavailable to earlier critical studies. Melville claims that Omoo is an objective account of what he actually witnessed, but the entire work contains very little direct experience. Instead, it is a romantic fiction, largely composed of paraphrased excerpts, principally from a single author. Melville's lengthy description of Aime'o (Mo'ore'a) consists mainly of paraphrased material and fantasy. Thus, this author concludes that Melville was confined to Tahiti for his entire stay in the Society Islands, and left Tahiti under less than favorable circumstances.

Reproducing heteronormative femininity on gURL.com
Jacqueline Ryan Vickery
This article examines the prominent romantic and sexual scripts—the most common being that of a "prince charming" waiting for a girl—found on the "being single" message board of gURL.com. A discourse and textual analysis of the message board is conducted in order to analyze how girls are performing their (hetero)sexual identities. This provides insight into current notions of contemporary girlhood and romantic/sexual expectations. Findings suggest that girls believe that being single is "caused" by something—most often that a girl is not pretty enough or not outgoing enough—so singledom is "blamed" on a lack of (appropriate) femininity. Also, if a girl fails at femininity then it is assumed that she might also be failing at heterosexuality. Girls seem to believe that by becoming more conventionally feminine (outgoing and attractive), singledom can be "fixed" and thus heteronormativity and femininity are reaffirmed.
The Adventures of Miss Ross
Interventions into, and the Tenacity of, Romantic Travel Writing in Southwest Persia
Barbara Cooke
This article concerns the written life of Dr Elizabeth Ness Macbean Ross (1878–1915). Ross's posthumously published memoir about this time, A Lady Doctor in Bakhtiari Land (1921), challenges the masculine, monomythic stance of her travel-writing forebears Sir Henry Layard and Sir Richard Burton and anticipates contemporary texts in which the encounter between "traveling" self and "native" other destabilizes, rather than reaffirms, the traveler's sense of identity and authority. The article also briefly examines a set of stories the Times ran on Dr Ross, which attempted to appropriate her for a dominant narrative of the Middle East reliant on a languid orientalism, on the one hand, and tales of derring-do, on the other; a narrative which persists to the present day, and which the forgotten A Lady Doctor in Bakhtiari Land works hard to resist.
Couples in the Global Margins
Nadeem Karkabi
This article examines relations between older Western women and younger Egyptian men in South Sinai, Egypt. Eschewing the label 'female sex tourism', it analyses the practices that these couples adopt in order to legitimate their relationships and further refers to alternative modifications of urfi marriages and polygenic relations. The article argues that these partnerships, as practised in the Sinai periphery, have come into existence in an effort to overcome changes caused by globalisation in the original cultures of these men and women and present alternatives to the otherwise difficult choices that they face in their mainstream societies.

ISLAMABAD - Boom Boom Afridi helped Pakistan registered a tensed three-wicket victory against Sri Lanka in the first T20 international played at the neutral venue of UAE.
It was probably one of the best knocks Afridi had played after a very long gap. Had Afridi not played that knock, the green shirts could have lost the match. But the thing the team management should seriously ponder over was that Pakistan batting once again flopped miserably which raised question over the team selection. What was the reason behind dropping last match hero Junaid Khan and replacing him with Usman Shanwari when his services had to be availed for one over? What was the purpose of having a defensive-minded player Umer Amin in the shorter format of the game, who can't bat above the order, can't field well and is of no use when it comes to bowl few overs? It would have been far better to have Anwar Ali in the squad, as he is a complete all rounder. Anwar can bowl well, more than handy with the bat and very agile fielder too.
Hafeez must have to explain why he decided to bowl first, when he is fully aware of the fact thay Pakistan team is never known for chasing even smaller targets? Bowling is Pakistan team's strength, not batting so the captain should have taken the decision keeping in mind this fact. He looked completely confused as far as use of bowlers was concerned as he made changes in blowing six times in the first eight overs, which spoke volume about his inefficiency to read the game. He bowled first over well so did Sohail, then what was the reason behind keep on changing bowlers without any purpose. In fact, his poor handling of situation allowed Sri Lankan batsmen to settle down and post a decent total of 145 runs in the allotted overs. Sohail Tanvir bowled brilliantly as he bowled last over of the innings conceding only seven runs and that too against two set batsmen and also took prize scalp of well-set Mathews. Bilawal Bhatti did not impress the nation and selectors against Sri Lanka as his wayward and short of length deliveries cost Pakistan team dearly.
The team management had to sit down and try to remove flaws in Bhatti's bowling otherwise he could lose his place in the side. What was the reason behind including Usman straight into the playing XI, when he had to be utilised just for one over. He had a jetlag and should have been given rest in the first match and instead Junaid should have been given the nod. It was the fault of skipper who should have backed up young pacer Usman and asked him to bowl from round the wicket, as he was finding it difficult to adjust his line against the right-handed batsman.
Instead of leading from the front, Hafeez decided not to give Usman any further overs, which was a grave injustice to a bowler who had taken loads of wickets in the domestic circuit and was drafted in the national team just because of his exceptional performance in his very first domestic season.
Pakistan batting once again failed to live up to the occasion as Ahmed Shahzad lost his wicket cheaply. The team management is wasting Sharjeel Khan's talent by forcing him to play in the shorter version of the game as he must be given chance in the ODIs because he is a player of ODI and Test cricket but T20 is not his level therefore he failed to play an impressive innings in T20i.
Afridi batted exceptionally well against all the Sri Lankan bowlers which showed that he had talent, guts and power to hit big lusty strokes, if he played sensibly. He must continue with his good form as he is well known for throwing away his wicket away after playing a classic knock. He is a big match player and he must fulfill his potential for the sake of the team and to shut his critics' mouths. He needs to repeat such performances on regular basis.
The first match triumph has made Pakistan team favourite for the next but they must not sit back and allow Lankans to bounce back. They must go all out for a kill and continue to play aggressively to enforce 2-0 victory, which will help them top the summit in the ICC T20 rankings. Any complacency on part of the green shirts can cost them dearly.

A few weeks ago I had the chance to photograph the very incredible Elena Laurenti. After our shoot she wanted to write about her experience and thoughts from it. Here are her words:
I was especially excited to work on this project. Had the opportunity to lend my vision and create something born from my previous work. It's at times like this that I realize how incredibly lucky I am.

As you get older, quality time with close friends becomes more valuable. Here the photographer side of me takes control as we enjoyed a lovely day in Wave Hill
I'll let the photos speak for themselves this time.
Two days ago on 9/11 I read an article prophecizing the arrival of an aurora borealis near NY. As someone who lived in the caribbean for most of their life, these lights and their dance is the stuff of dreams.
My favorite artist, an incredible muralist, a world renown tattoo artist and an all around excellent human being. Meeting him and creating these images has been a fantastic experience.

Brussels played host to the final Diamond League event of the 2016 season, with 15 Diamond Race titles all up for grabs.
The likes of Almaz Ayana and Caterine Ibarguen already had their titles wrapped-up before victories at the King Baudouin Stadium in the Belgian capital, with Ayana breaking a meeting record to win the 5,000m, and Colombia's Ibarguen winning her sixth Diamond event from seven this season with a jump of 14.66metres.
There was also a homecoming for Rio's Heptathlon champion Nafi Thiam, and she thrilled the crowd with victory in the women's high jump.
Semenya shows her middle-distance strength to win 400 and maintain unbeaten season
Having won all 26 of her 800m races in 2016, Caster Semenya's presence in the 400 in Brussels was a fascinating storyline to follow.
Looking as though she was struggling over the first half of the race with others moving away from the South African, Semenya maintained a strong pace to push on through the final bend.
Coming into the home straight, the Olympic champion sat behind a pair of Americans and two Jamaicans, but her 800 metre pace came to the fore as she pushed through to claim victory on the line with a time of 50.40seconds.
Courtney Okolo of the USA was pushed down into second, with Jamaica's Stephanie Ann McPherson finishing third, yet doing enough to claim the Diamond League title by seven points from Natasha Hastings who faded to finish fifth.
Doyle fades to finish fifth, handing Tate 400m hurdle Diamond Race win
Following on from Laura Muir's fantastic Diamond Race win which was confirmed last week in Zurich, Britain's Eilidh Doyle came into the final event hoping to emulate her fellow Scot.
Holding a lead in the 400m standings, Doyle knew if she finished ahead of America's Cassandra Tate the title would be hers.
After going out fast, Doyle faded over the second half of the race and didn't have enough in the tank eventually finishing fifth. Unfortunately for the Brit, Tate came home in first with a time of 54.47seconds to leapfrog her at the top of the Diamond Race standings, to take home the 40,000 Euro prize.
Thompson beats Schippers once more to claim 100m prize
After a stunning run to win the final 200m race of the season last week, Jamaica's double-Olympic champion Elaine Thompson continued her excellent end to the season with the 100m Diamond Race win.
Thompson stormed to victory in 10.72 seconds, a quarter of a second head of Dafne Schippers to win the Diamond Race with 50 points.
Asbel Kiprop (1500) and Alonso Edward (200) already had their titles confirmed coming in to the Brussels meet and watched on as Timothy Cheruiyot and Julian Forte won the final races of their season in their retrospective events.
Conseslus Kipruto scored the perfect 70 Diamond points after winning his sixth consecutive 3,000m steeplechase event in the series. The Olympic champion held off Evan Jager to win in a time of 8.03.77 minutes, striding clear over the final barrier.
In the men's 100m hurdles, Spain's Orlando Ortega won in Brussels to help extend his Diamond Race points dominance, while Ferguson Rotich took home the 800m title.
Palameika breaks National Record on way to Javelin title
In the women's Javelin, Madara Palameika capped an excellent season to win the Diamond Race by 34 points with victory in Brussels.
Her first round throw of 66.18 was a new national record and proved too hard to beat for her competitors, giving the 29-year-old her fourth win of the Diamond League season.
Other Diamond Race winners in the field include Valerie Adams and Piotr Malachowksi in their throwing events despite second place finishes in Brussels, with Erik Kynard, Katerina Stefanidi and Fabrice Lapierre also taking home 2016 titles.

Throughout its history, Chinese medicine has been full of ideas, theories, and truly amazing perspectives based on necessity. The Ming dynasty (1368–1644) scholar Zhang Jiebin said that "Medicine and the Changes have the same source." The changes he was referring to are those described in the "I Ching," a book which reflects the underpinnings of not only Chinese culture but of health itself: Yin and Yang, or more appropriately Yinyang.
Yin and Yang have been portrayed as opposites; male/female, sun/moon, hot/cold, and so forth. But that's not exactly accurate. It's more like something is more warm or more cool than something else. Is it more masculine or more feminine? Yingyang is more like a system of measuring degrees of quality. Applying the principles to ourselves or to our daily lives is like asking whether or not I feel more energetic or less energetic. Do I feel warmer or slightly chilled? Get the meaning here? Ok, let's get back to change and medicine.
Things don't typically happen just out of nowhere. Even if we don't know about it, can't see it, or, maybe, aren't directly involved, there's something happening. It begins with a thought, then intent, and then action-reaction-action. Somewhere, eventually, a pause or rest and possibly more action-reaction.
So, how might we apply the ideas of change to medicine for our 21st century lives? What are our common "dis-eases"? What do they stem from? With certainty I can tell you that most things are generated by our lifestyle choices.
Some simple remedies for common problems are:
- For fatigue try going to bed a little earlier. You might be getting enough sleep hour-wise (quantity), but maybe you're too tired by the time you get to bed and your rhythm is off.
- For non-optimal digestion, you will need to put on your detective cap. Before jumping on the gluten-free bandwagon (or any other extreme approach), start by cleaning up your fueling habits and partake in an elimination diet. Get all the processed and packaged food out of your system, get clean, and then reintroduce suspect foods back in one at a time and avoid the obvious no-no's!
- For feelings of stiffness or feeling older than you really are, get up and move. Hours in front of your keyboard or your steering wheel haven't helped you much. (And your clutch isn't helping your left hip either!) Simple daily movement and mobility work such as a 20 minute walk and 10 minutes of mobility to start would be appropriate.
- For general stress and feelings of being overwhelmed (my number one complaint), the first thing I recommend is to learn to breathe from your lower abdomen. Go take a meditation class, in person and not online. Minimize the content you're inputting to your brain: less news and less internet time. (Don't worry, you won't miss much as you think!)

UW Caps Road Trip With 4-3 Win Over No. 33 Illinois
March 27, 2009
MANOA, Hawai'i - The Husky women's tennis team earned one of its biggest wins of the season thus far today, taking out 33rd-ranked Illinois, 4-3, to complete a perfect 3-0 spring break road trip in Hawai'i. All six Huskies contributed at least one win in singles or doubles, and the UW needed every one of them.
Washington survived extremely windy conditions to pick up its fifth-straight victory and improve to 12-5 on the year. The 12 wins already matches UW's 2008 win total. The Huskies were playing their third match in four days at Hawaii's UH Tennis Complex, having beaten Cal Poly and Hawai'i earlier in the week, while Illinois was playing its first match in twelve days.
Clinching the match for the Dawgs was junior Joyce Ardies, who put UW ahead, 4-2, with a 7-5, 6-1 victory over Amy Allin at No. 5 singles. Ardies has had a win in every match of UW's current five-match win streak, and is now 21-6 on the year.
Also winning for the Huskies in singles play was 27th-ranked sophomore Venise Chan, who handled 103rd-ranked Leigh Finnegan, 6-4, 6-3 at No. 1 singles. At 21-5 overall, Chan has already equaled her freshman year win total when she went 21-10. Another pivotal win was earned by junior Aleksandra Malovic at sixth singles, as she defeated Shivani Dave, 6-1, 6-4.
'There was a ridiculous amount of wind which made conditions very difficult,' said assistant coach Damon Coupe. 'So it really came down to mental toughness and our women were able to come through. It was a testament to the desire and mental discipline they've built this season. This was a match we've looked to on the calendar as one we really needed to go after.'
Illinois earned wins at the second, third, and fourth singles positions. 108th-ranked Megan Fudge outlasted 69th-ranked freshman Denise Dy, 3-6, 7-5, 6-4, after the Huskies had already clinched. Freshman Samantha Smith fell, 6-3, 6-3 to Marisa Lambropoulos at No. 3 singles, and sophomore Lina Xu lost a tough, 7-5, 7-6 match to Chelcie Abajian at fourth singles.
Doubles play would prove crucial, and for the fourth-straight match Washington was the better team in doubles. Since restructuring the lineup prior to their match against Michigan State, the Huskies are 4-0 in doubles play. One team that has yet to be defeated is Ardies and Dy at No. 1 doubles, and they picked up another win today, 8-3, over Finnegan and Abajian. Illinois' Fudge and Lambropoulos beat Chan and Malovic at No. 2 doubles, but Xu and Smith came through at third doubles, 8-5, over Annie McCarthy and Allin to give the Dawgs the point.
This was the third year in a row that Washington defeated Illinois by a 4-3 margin. It was also the first win by the Huskies this season over a Top-40 team. The Huskies will return home now for marquee matches with UCLA and USC next weekend. The Bruins are up first, visiting Seattle on Friday, April 3, at 12 noon.

info & contacts
The classic piano lessons are directed to students that intend to enhance the instrument in all of its forms starting from the technique such as: the fall, the fall and articulation, 4 fingers, 5 fingers, scale, arpeggi and everything that concerns the propaedeutic preparation for the following classes.
The programme can be divided into three levels: basic, intermediate and advanced. A gradual and consistent path that leads the student to a comprehensive knowledge of the skills to improvise correctly and efficiently, developing at the same time the ability to recognize fundamental events in the jazz language such as fraseggio, strutture armoniche and figurazioni ritmiche (ear training). For each year are proposed 10 tracks in relation to the topic of the lessons with increasing difficulty. The following programme will clearly be adapted to the individual student in relation to the level already gained and in relation to his eventual request to improve in specific areas/styles
It was born from the necessity to give back dignity to art and, in particular, to music. A dignity that music deserves but that, unfortunately, this society has lost because too busy giving attention to futile things. Neapolitan music and especially jazz, do not have social classes. Jazz, in order to express itself, does not require particular platforms that could distance the public from the artist: there is no better way to do this than to bring it in the streets and making it available to anyone, allowing the public to approach music.
"The treasure is in your hands, don`t go looking for it somewhere else"
"My dream is to give art back the dignity it deserves and create a community in the form of music".
" el tesoro está en
tus manos,
no lo busques
en otro lugar".

Youngstown, OH Pest Control
Call Us: 330-792-5001
Hersh Exterminating Services is a professional pest control service with a deep knowledge of the Youngstown and surrounding area, and the pest control need of resident and commercial accounts.
Carpenter ants are the only ants in this area that vary in size. You may see medium to large sized ants. Seeing these ants during the winter or finding sawdust indicates there is a nest somewhere in the home. A professional pest control technician is recommend when dealing with these wood destroying pests.
Slow-acting baits are a great method of eliminating small ants. These baits simulate the taste of food. When properly placed, will be brought by worker ants back to the colony, poisoning the queen and the vast majority of other ants, and eliminating the infestation.
We can treat for these through services that we offer, so click on All Season's Protection Program or Specific Services.
Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are uncomfortable and very difficult to get rid of. Some areas these pests live in are couches, nightstands and beds, using their proximity in these areas to feed on the blood of people who may be present in your home.
They can also live behind baseboards and walls, as well as other cracks and crevices around your home. Bed bugs are very durable – they can live up to a year in a cool, dark place without feeding – so it is very difficult to eliminate them without professional help.
Typically, a professional assessment of your situation is required, and infested areas must be dealt with quickly, preventing further spread. Click here for more information on our bed bug services.
Termite Control
Termites are some of the most feared pests. Unfortunately, colonies can remain undetected until they have caused significant structural damage. Termites have evolved to support massive groups of workers, soldiers and breeders on a diet of cellulose-wood. Luckily, the pest control industry has also evolved and we no longer have to trench and apply chemicals around a home to get rid of termites. As Certified Sentricon Specialist we use baitube ™ devices that are highly effective on eliminating termite colonies. For more information on how we can treat and protect your home from termites click here.

text: We had a 3 hour delay to the tee times on Friday due to fog in the morning and eventually teed off at 3 40pm from the tenth tee. We only managed to play 9 holes before the hooter went for darkness. I eventually shot 72 level par to be -4 overall which missed the cut by one shot. This week was one of those harsh weeks where it's tough to believe I missed the cut but the good news is it was much better and starting to feel closer.

Specification and verification of concurrent systems in CESAR
The aim of this paper is to illustrate by an example, the alternating bit protocol, the use of CESAR, an interactive system for aiding the design of distributed applications.
CESAR allows the progressive validation of the algorithmic description of a system of communicating sequential processes with respect to a given set of specifications. The algorithmic description is done in a high level language inspired from CSP and specifications are a set of formulas of a branching time logic, the temporal operators of which can be computed iteratively as fixed points of monotonic predicate transformers. The verification of a system consists in obtaining by automatic translation of its description program an Interpreted Petri Net representing it and evaluating each formula of the specifications.
