With the exception of a few fumbles and a Worcester Tech interception, Assabet Valley basically could do no wrong during yesterday�s Division 3 East matchup.
The Aztecs, who never trailed, got rushing touchdowns from four different players, including two by junior running back James Mahoney, en route to an easy 38-6 victory at sun-soaked Commerce Bank Field at Foley Stadium.
Assabet improved to 3-1 overall, 2-0 in the league. The Eagles dropped to 0-4 overall and 0-2 in the league.
�Our line got after it a little bit, and that was a big key,� Assabet coach Rob McCann said. �They (Tech) have some big, physical kids and some skill players that we were very nervous about. Luckily, we were able to contain them.�
The Aztecs bagged their first touchdown on their first possession of the game, putting together a 10-play, 58-yard scoring drive that ate up almost seven minutes. Mahoney capped the march with a 2-yard scamper. Senior running back Justin Flanigan ran in the two-point conversion to give the visitors an 8-0 lead.
Both teams turned the ball over to start the second quarter. Tech�s Shane Keddy intercepted an Alex Moore pass in the Eagles� end zone, but Tech fumbled three plays later. Steven Parker pounced on the loose ball to give the Aztecs the ball back at the Eagles� 38.
Flanigan followed with a 37-yard sprint to the Tech 1-yard line, which set up a short TD run by Moore. Mahoney scored on the two-point conversion as the Aztecs led, 16-0.
Tech bounced back when it recovered a fumble at the Aztec 19. After a 10-yard Tech penalty, Keddy, a junior running back, scooted 23 yards to the 6-yard line. Keddy followed with a TD toss to Jaarmil Givens, but Tech came up empty on the two-point conversion pass.
Tech turned the ball over on its next possession when Parker picked off another pass. This laid the groundwork for the third Assabet TD, a 5-yard burst by Mahoney. Mahoney also scored on the two-point conversion, giving the Aztecs a 24-6 lead. Moore had a big play when he uncorked a screen pass to Tony Fournier, resulting in a 17-yard pickup.
�I�m a little bit upset by the fumbles, but football is a game of momentum,� McCann said. �They were coming back a little bit, and then we get the huge interception by Steven Parker.
�We made plays when we had to and the backs ran hard. And we�ve got a lot of good backs. We like to spread the ball around. But we�re multi-faceted � we can run and pass. And our line did a very good job in this game.�

Shay Harris—Some people spent their Spring Break in Florida, Ireland, and New York City. For the fourth year in a row, I spent mine in Brockport.
Personally, I like the campus when it's a ghost town. There's a calmness that creates a wonderful atmosphere to reflect and work. While on break, there are a few significant things that I did. The first was painting. While I'm currently in a painting class, my heart's not in any of the work. Nevertheless, I feel more alive when painting on my own, outside of the class. Over the break I completed five paintings — three of which are for a solo exhibition I'm organizing from Apr. 6th – 18th. It felt great to sit in my common room with music/Netflix on and paintbrushes in my hand. Just me and my paint.
Another notable thing that happened during my break was my reading of Becky Albertalli's "Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda." I recently learned that the film "Love, Simon" was based of a Young Adult novel. The film's trailer blew my hype-level's out the water and learning there was a book, I had to get my hands on it. And dang, was it a wonderful read. Albertalli's book had me make verbal noises on multiple occasions. I laughed a lot, was engaged with the mystery surrounding Blue's identity, and I wish I wrote the book myself. It was so good. Side tangent: If you haven't seen "Love, Simon" you should do so. It's a queer romantic comedy, based off of a YA novel and I cried five times while watching it. Like, I related to Simon's feelings toward coming across guys he thought would be of interest, only to find out that they were straight. That's my every waking existence and while I smile and laugh it off, Simon's responses were very raw and true. Additionally, if my younger self were to have seen this film, my journey toward self-love may have been different. Both the novel and film reaffirmed and validated my existence as a gay male and I loved them both!
I was gonna talk about how I rearranged my room, but now I can't stop thinking about the great book I read. Of how blessed I am to have found love within myself during my time at Brockport. As graduation approaches, I'll do some sort of reflection on my journey, but for now, go check out "Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda" and "Love, Simon," currently in theaters. Oh, and if you need something to watch on Netflix, "On My Block" is a dynamic and idiosyncratic show. I was hooked within the first scene and am sad that currently, there is only one season. So check these things out. You won't regret it.
Until next time.

Three traits you need to be a photographer
When you need to find out how to do something new, do you tend to look straight for the shortcut?
Just give me the blueprint – and I can do it, too!
While there are things that can be taught — and some corners that can be cut by learning from those who have gone before you — there are certain skills or traits that will take you much father then a blueprint ever can.
I've been involved with stock photography for the past 10 years. And, while it's been amazing and I've earned a nice amount of money from it, I've found myself having to re-visit three critical principles:
- Sense of wonder: As a photographer, you need to always be curious to know more, to learn, and to grow. Photography is not something you can learn in a day, a week or a year. It's something that is ever-growing, changing, and developing within each one of us.When you maintain a sense of wonder, your photography can grow deeper and better over time. When I look back at some of my old photos, even many I shot just a few years ago (that I thought represented my good work back then), I can tell I have changed, grown, and become a better photographer over time (at least to my eye).
- Flexibility to transform: You may start out whole-heartedly running in one direction, but things change… Maybe it's the local market you're shooting in or the management of a newspaper you shoot for… or maybe it's you. Any number of things, whether subtle or massive, can change your course.As a photographer, you may need to change tactics, to re-create and transform who you are as a photographer, who you shoot for or what market you serve. When that happens, you really only have two options: change course or hang up your camera.The great thing about photography is that there are so many possibilities for where and how your photos can be used. So rather then hanging up the camera, just take a new road and see what amazing adventures await you.
- Persistence: As photographers, we must take that sense of wonder, the desire to learn and grow, and our willingness to be flexible and transform, and wrap them up in a bow of persistence. If you fail at this one thing, I pretty much guarantee you that photography will never be much more then a fun distraction or fleeting hobby for you.Photography takes practice and not just when you're getting started but as you progress, too. You should be constantly shooting and challenging yourself to shoot in new and different ways, maybe with new equipment or in a different environment.For example, if you're always shooting with natural light, try setting up some flashes or studio lights to play with, and work with it till you get the results you want or are surprised by. Pushing the edges of your experience allows you to grow and expand your knowledge and skill base.
Persistence is what will keep you going to get in the game (or keep you in the game). Many photographers were turned down by stock agencies multiple times before they got in the door. If they hadn't persisted, then the answer would have never been yes, and their photos would still be collecting dust on a hard-drive somewhere.
Photographers are not born — they are made. And persistence or perseverance is a crucial factor for any good photographer.

6 Tips on Branding for Beginners
You have to think about developing your brand as a way of connecting to your audience in an authentic way. I want to share resources that help me do that most efficiently. I say efficient because these resources will help you plan your content in a concise way so you aren't wasting time.
Facets of branding separate the paragraphs and in each paragraph are the ways I improved the specific area. When you boil each of these resources down they all pertain to the same thing: planning.
Develop Your Craft
My craft is writing. Right now I do that on my blog and as a contributor for other sites. The best book I've read to improve my writing is Stein on Writing by Sol Stein. Stein offers practical changes to implement now that will take your writing to the next level. Order it on Amazon here.
Instagram with a Purpose
If you're not doing Insta-stories, get on that train! But I'm not talking about insta-stories here… I am talking about creating an account with Planoly. It's free and you can see all of your posts in a grid, create a caption, add hash-tags, and schedule your posts. Create an account online, download the app, and the app will give you notifications when it's time to post. Do the work from your computer and insta like a pro.
Consistent Content
One word: Buffer. Buffer is a free software that links to both your Twitter and Facebook pages. You simply upload tweets into your buffer and schedule the times for when you want to post. You can choose where and when the posts go out and keep your bank full of content. Every time I have a catchy thought I drop it in my Buffer bank and the posts go out automatically.
Find a filter
I am no aesthetic expert but I know I am drawn to the feeds that look pretty. A friend of mine is an Adobe Lightroom expert and made a preset for me to edit all of my pictures… Adobe Lightroom is $10.91 a month but there are plenty of free apps that will edit pictures for you! One of my favorites is VSCO. Do all of your pictures have to be high quality edited with the same preset? No. Does it look more professional? Yes.
Utilize Your Domain
My blogging days started on Wordpress. I never used it to it's full ability and I was so confused when it came time to make changes. (Do I spend money on a layout? Do I build a custom design?) Then I switched to Square Space… holy moly did that make things easier for me!!! It costs me $5.99 a month and it's worth every penny. The site is so user-friendly, clean, and modern. I wish I would've been with Square Space all along because my endurance (and patience) wore so thin when I blogged with Wordpress.
Manage Your Time
The iPhone has a new setting that shows amount of time you spend on each app (it's in the battery section of your settings) and I was mortified when I discovered how much time I spent on social media… EEK. Cue the app Moment. The app is free but after a day of using it (and being completely obsessed) I upgraded to the $3.99 (one payment) premium version. This app helps you manage your screen time. You set a goal for the amount of time you want to spend on your phone and the app gives you notifications on time spent that day. This app has changed everything for me!! And I've found when I use the branding resources in this article consistently I don't need to spend hours scrolling on my phone… all of my content is planned and ready to go!
The biggest headache when it comes to branding is the amount of time it takes to fire on all cylinders. One day your Instagram is great, then you have to manage the blog, tweet something catchy, update your Facebook page and before you know it you're creative brain is empty. The best way to combat the fatigue of branding, especially if it's your side hustle, is to make an appointment to get this work done. I've found I am most creative first thing in the morning so I do my quiet time and then move right to 1-2 hours of productive writing and planning. Whatever works for you—do that!!

Is it real or Memorex? Most of the energy in the Skywatch today is good for work or play.
The Moon in Scorpio sextiles Mercury at 1:02 pm PDT and then trines psychic Neptune at 1:51 pm. The difficulty today comes from clever Mercury lining up in opposition to dreamy Neptune, exact at 6:32 pm.
Neptune aspects amp up your creative energy and help you read between the lines. But Neptune can also fog up your thinking and inspire some pilgrims to exaggerate or hide the facts.
Stay conservative and double-check the details today, and you'll likely not suffer from Neptune's tendency to confuse matters.
Evening hours are stellar for social plans and introductions as the Moon sextiles healing Pluto at 8:58 pm and then conjuncts upbeat Jupiter at 9:33 pm opening the door to understanding and a positive reaction to your words Thursday night.
As times change.

We need all the help we can get - join us, and let's get to work!
Our history
The Root Cellar was established in 1984 in a dirt floor church basement in Portland, Maine. Recognizing the need for a place where teens could come as an alternative to the streets, and in some cases their homes. Christian volunteers provided a positive place where the area youth could drop in for food, games and friendship.
Over the next decade, programs for kids and adults began to take shape as The Root Cellar became an independent non profit organization supported by volunteers from multiple area churches and denominations.
In 2001, completion of a brand new facility at 94 Washington Ave. in Portland enabled the organization to properly host the dozens of programs offered as well as allow for new program ideas.
In 2009, The Root Cellar opened a second site in Lewiston - Maine's 2nd largest city. Located in the heart of the residential downtown neighborhoods, our Lewiston site continues to grow and respond to the needs of one of Maine's most impoverished - but hopeful - communities.
After 35 years of hard work and determination, The Root Cellar is as committed as ever to serving and loving our neighbors in Lewiston and Portland.
collaborating partners
These partner agencies are essential to accomplishing our mission, from the day to day operations to big picture endeavors in our cities. We are so thankful to work alongside each of them.
Leadership Foundations of AMerica
We have partnered with LF since 2013. They have been integral in helping to establishing our Youth Mentoring Program in Lewiston and Portland. This network of local organizations has deeply impacted our program and staff capacity.

We joined CCDA in 2018, recognizing the overlap of our work and the expertise that they bring to communities across the country. CCDA's principles highly impact our work and vision for the future of the neighborhoods of Portland and Lewiston.

'Dashing in with'... The Squirrel Sisters
I was super excited about this interview for a number of reasons a) because I am a massive fan of ALL the Squirrel Bars, b) because the 'Squirrel Sisters' are the first Dot Dash Activewear Brand Ambassadors and c) because I absolutely love and respect how hard Sophie and Gracie work and their work ethic overall.
Being a new business, you often have to call on favours to gain exposure and these girls have been nothing but supportive of myself and my brand from the beginning. For this, I thank you both.
Enjoy the read!
When and why did you start squirrel Sisters?
Health, wellness, food and how it makes us feel has always been a passion of ours so we started Squirrel Sisters as a blog in 2014. Our blog gained a large following quickly. People connected with our mission and the fact we are two normal girls with busy lifestyles that want to enjoy life whilst feeling great.
With a growing following we saw an opportunity to turn our blog into a business so after much planning and preparation we launched our snack bars in November 2015, which we already had the recipes for as Gracie used to make them for Sophie due to her Gluten- intolerance.
Where is the name from? Why the Squirrel Sisters?
The main reason we chose the name 'Squirrel Sisters' for our company was because it used to be a nickname, which has stuck with us since childhood (Squirrel rhymes with our surname, 'Tyrrell'). We thought the name worked perfectly because we love squirrelling away eating nuts and our bars are packed full of them.
What's it like working together as you're sisters?
It's amazing! We get to bring our passion to life and do it together, which has been an incredible experience; supporting each other through the ups and downs and being there for each other through more stressful times. The other amazing thing about working together is that we completely trust each other and have each other's best interests at heart, which is invaluable in business.
Would you say you have a healthy work/life balance?
We try! Weekdays are pretty full on but we do try and enjoy our weekends. We love spending time with friends and family and also find exercise is a great way to keep us feeling balanced.
What's your favourite product?
Squirrel Sisters snack bars ;-)
What's your proudest achievement to date?
We are extremely proud of our distribution- our products are available in over 1000 stores across the UK including Waitrose, BP (M&S forecourts), Morrisons, Boots, Selfridges, Whole Foods, Planet Organic, Ocado, Amazon and many more.
We are also extremely proud of our cookbook Naturally Delicious Snacks and Treats. 1 year ago we were approached by Pavilion Books who gave us the opportunity to write a cookbook, which was published in April this year and is available in all good bookshops and online retailers. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Naturally-Delicious-Snacks-Treats-Tyrrell/dp/1911595636
Do you have any words of advice for aspiring or like minded people wanting to start similar businesses?
If you are starting a business make sure you are doing it because it's something you love. Whatever you do needs to be a genuine passion and something you 100% believe in. It doesn't get easier so you need the passion to keep you persisting.
How do you measure success?
If something you're doing is making a difference to someone then that makes it a success to us.
How do you celebrate success?
We usually celebrate by going for a drink or a nice dinner. It's important to acknowledge the successes.

These days, it's no secret that music is good for the soul AND the brain! Of course there are emotional and communal benefits to listening, but there are even more when it comes to learning how to play an instrument for yourself. So why just play piano apps on the latest iPhone and punish yourself with more screen time when you can strengthen your mind instead? Technology is great….but it's not always the best option.
Learning to play the piano is good for people at any stage of life! While many studies emphasize the importance of teaching children from an early age and encouraging music programs in schools, we hear from customers every single day who are jumping back into the hobby of piano playing for post-retirement enjoyment. And there are plenty of reasons why!
1. Knowing how to read and play music affects several facets of the learning process: sensory integration, awareness, critical thinking, emotional maturity and motor capacities. Just think – you see a succession of symbols across a page. You not only have to interpret what they mean, but you have to send the proper signals to your body to press the proper keys and produce a pleasant sound. There are a lot of skills involved in playing any instrument that provide skills affecting everything you do!
2. Playing improves memory. Most music that is played is often memorized. Even when you continue to use sheet music, muscle memory is important to maintaining correct hand forms and finger movements. The repetition involved in practicing any instrument – even your voice – encourages a strengthened ability to commit what you've learned to memory.
3. Music education in schools fosters self-esteem and a strong teamwork ethic. To create a beautiful and complete sound, members of a band or choir must learn to work together, but also each member must be confident enough to play loud and clear – and correct. Otherwise, the performance would be a mess. Knowing that you've contributed to something grand makes one feel accomplished and competent. Plus, participation is key. You can't not be engaged – it's too obvious if you're tuned out! (ahem, pun intended)
4. Music education also has a strong correlation with increased test scores – especially in math and reading. While music classes may be more enjoyable for your child than lectures and note-taking, it has a way of seeping into other subjects as well. Whether you realize it or not, learning time measures, beats, note lengths….is math. And properly translating symbols into actions? That's reading and comprehension. NAAM Foundation provides many statistics on the effects music in schools has had on everything from attendance rates to standardized test scores.
5. It's a creative outlet. Rather than memorizing facts or mindlessly sinking into a game on the iPad, both children and adults can learn to express themselves through a talent. It will encourage new ways of thinking and interpreting, and can provide a relaxing effect on the stresses and rigors of everyday life – for life.
So in place of that new iPhone X (MSRP $999-1499)….what ELSE could you treat your family to this fall? We've got a couple ideas:

Head Bartender of The Union group
If one is looking for Kiki Moka, one of the top bartenders in Indonesia, Loewy is probably as good a bet as any to catch the affable mixologist. The head bartender of The Union Group has his work cut-out, training budding protégées and dreaming up of new cocktails for his loyal customers. Loewy is one of The Union Group's flagship establishments, a cosy bar and restaurant inspired by the laidback Parisian bistros popular in New York City. The immaculate vintage feel of Loewy is reminiscent of the bustling 1940s, with whimsical contemporary touches that frequenters to the establishment will appreciate.
The highlight of Loewy is its handsome full-length bar which runs along one side of the venue. Customers are encouraged to pull up a bar stool, admire Loewy's impressive collection of rare spirits nestling in the cavernous racks and engage in casual small talk with the knowledgeable bartenders (or Kiki Moka himself if one is lucky enough).
Amidst the mixologist maestro's busy schedule, Kiki Moka managed to carve out some time to catch up with Exquisite Taste for a short bar talk.
E: How long have you been at The Union Group? How did you end up here?
Kiki: I've been at The Union Group before it was called that, for 16 years. I was working at a café when I met up with a friend in a newly opened bar and a friendly bar-side chat with the operational manager turned into a blind wine testing (which I passed with flying colours). As it turned out, they needed a bartender and I had impressed him sufficiently that I was offered a job. I have followed The Union Group since then and never turned back, I like how friendly and familial everyone is in the company.
E: Why did you become a bartender? Was it always your passion?
K: It's not an easy choice, that's for certain. Especially in a conservative country like Indonesia, working in a bar is still considered a taboo for some families. Before I was a bartender, I used to be a musician; however it is in bartending that I found my true passion. The things I love about bartending is creating a new cocktail inspired by local ingredients and cuisine and seeing the delighted reactions of the guests. The satisfaction of the guests makes all the hard work worth it.
E: What's your philosophy as a bartender?
K: I believe that being a bartender is not about making difficult cocktails or using exotic ingredients that nobody has used previously. The job of a bartender is to craft new experiences and tell a story through the cocktail he creates for the guest, to continually amaze them and make sure they have an unforgettable time.
E: Where do you get your inspiration for your cocktails?
K: Maybe it's a bit cliché but I get my inspiration from my kids and the sweets that they enjoy. Sometimes I am inspired by childhood experiences in creating a cocktail, I use garnishes such as cotton candy or classic chocolate wafer brands that I used to eat as a child. It's fun and quirky I suppose, and my customers love it!

(Auszug aus der Pressemitteilung)
Fremont, CA (May 12, 2005) – Corsair® Memory, Inc., a worldwide leader in high performance memory and cooling products for enthusiasts and overclockers, is proud to announce that the latest XMS2 5400ULTM is the first true ultra low latency memory to reach the DDR2-1066 milestone.
Using the new XMS2 5400UL memory modules, Wesley Fink at Anandtech successfully overclocked the memory to deliver 1:1 CPU:RAM synchronicity. The latest Glenwood (i955X) chipset continues the official support for Intel processors with 1066 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB). Prior to the Corsair 5400UL, no other DDR2 memory was capable of surpassing the 1GHz barrier. At the 1:1 ratio, system performance is at its best and potential bandwidth bottlenecks removed.
"We were amazed to find that the Corsair CM2X512A-5400UL could reach DDR2-1066. This yielded a Sandra standard bandwidth of just over 6400 MB/sec. To put this in perspective, this is the first motherboard and memory that we have ever tested capable of running at DDR2-1066," said Wesley Fink at Anandtech. "The 1066 crown belongs to Corsair," declared Fink.
"The 1:1 CPU:RAM synchronicity achievement using the XMS2 5400UL validates Corsair's leadership position in the enthusiast segment," said Richard Hashim, Director of Product Management at Corsair. "This product is currently shipping, so enthusiasts will have an immediate opportunity to duplicate the incredible performance breakthrough shown by Wesley," continued Hashim.
XMS2 5400UL specifications
Single Module: CM2X512A-5400UL
Matched Pair: TWIN2X1024A-5400UL
Module Speed: 675 MHz / PC5400
Module Latencies: 3-2-2-8-1T
The XMS2 5400UL single module and matched pair are currently available through Newegg, ZipZoomFly, MonarchComputer and other Corsair's authorized distributors, resellers, e-tailers and retailers worldwide.

Join the Tradition of Christmas. Become a Bellringer.
When you volunteer as a Bell Ringer, you do more than spread Christmas cheer, you give hope to those in need. We are looking for individuals, families, fraternities, sororities, businesses, and student organizations to come ring a bell for The Salvation Army this Christmas season.
Want to Give, but Don't Carry Cash?
Your online donation will stay local to impact families in need right here in Brazos County.
Not Able to Volunteer, but Still Want to Help?
We understand that for some, finding the time to ring a bell is extremely hard to do. So this year we are making available the opportunity to sponsor a local kettle. Did you know that for every kettle location that doesn't have a volunteer to ring a bell, The Salvation Army has to pay for a bell ringer? You can help this Christmas by sponsoring a kettle to offset the cost of a paid bell ringer, for when volunteers are not available. The cost of a sponsorship is $100 per day, per location.
In 2017, The Salvation Army of Bryan/College Station:
Pounds of food served
to nearly 17,231 individuals
Items of Clothing Distributed to 165 families in need
Children who Received Christmas Toys
Hygiene Kits Provided
Fans/Heaters Distributed

Don't exercise!
I was once invited to join a ZUMBA class and I laughed. Now not that I do not admire those that choose to do zumba, but it is not for me.
Why would I desire to do such vigorous exercise when I know it is not necessary. It is actually NOT good for some people and I would say that too much exercise can actually do more harm than good. So don't be too quick to judge my words. Ditch the "exercise" and read on.
Anyone with eyes can see that strenous exercise puts a great deal of stress on the body.
For most it takes more work on the part of the body to recuperate "after" exercise in the recovery stage. You see after putting so much stress on the body, your body gets busy trying to get back to normal. Sure some may state they that "feeling of euphoria" after exercise, a feeling a energy, but the recovery then takes over.
Some people, after exercise feel exhausted...this means they are doing too much and putting too much stress on the body and often the adrenal glands. Now your body is in real stress and you are in a worse state of health than when you started!
So now what? Forget the exercise!
All you need to do is "move." Yes move. Get off the couch or up from that computer desk and move. Moving will get your immune system going, blood flowing and all that keeps the body happy. Walk around your house a few times daily. Then walk around the block, then try to build up to a greater distance.
Listen to your body. It will tell you how to pace yourself. Please do not start jogging and putting all that stress on your knees, ankles and hips. Start slowly and just walk. You will see your body ask for more as you build up and lengthen your walks.
Who needs an instructor yelling out commands to go faster and faster? Nonsense.
Go easy on your body and just MOVE. If you don't move it, you will lose it!
If you have adrenal issues or thyroid issues, your body is under ENOUGH stress, so do not try to overwhelm the body with MORE stress.
Some days you may needs to skip the walks and maybe just do stretch exercises.
Slow, flowing stretching movement will do wonders in keeping your body in shape.
Remember, it is MOVEMENT, not exercise.
You may want to stretch and lift some hand weights to tone your arms and chest and walk around the house a few times. Just listen to your body and move and stretch.
I will say "no thanks" to the aerobics and zumba classes, along with the fast-paced treadmill sessions. Why kill yourself, when all you need to do to stay fit is move, walk and stretch.
Your body will thank you and so will your knees, ankles and hips as you get older!

Hyped new horror film 'Upgrade', from Get Out's producers, looks like an absolute gore fest
It's like 'Black Mirror' times 1000
Gorehounds, gather! Upgrade, the hyped new horror movie from genre don Leigh Whannell, the screenwriter whose writing credits include the massively influential, James Wan-directed likes of Saw, Dead Silence and Insidious, now has an extremely exciting new trailer. Whannell also directed the movie (his only previously credit is 2015's Insidious: Chapter 3) and looks to have picked up a great deal of visual panache from long-term collaborator Wan.
The plot resembles something that Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker would come up with if he happened to be experiencing a particularly difficult time in his personal life. You know it's good, because the film was produced by low budget production team Blumhouse Productions, who were behind 2017 hit Get Out.
Initially, the movie looks like a typical post-Taken revenge thriller in which the fabulously named Grey Tace (played by Tom Hardy lookalike Logan Marshall-Green) seeks to avenge his wife's murder by accepting a body implant that turns him into some kind of violent super-soldier. As you can see in the trailer above, Grey hands over permission to the computer in his body just as you would ask Alexa to play your favourite party banger. In both instances, you're out of control, baby.
Gasp! As Grey dislocates a man's jaw in extremely harrowing fashion! Howl! As he produces a knife from nowhere and sticks it to an assailant who frankly bloody deserved it! Wonder! If you can get your hands on one of these computer chips to help you get down the front row of a particularly packed gig!
The film premiered at Austin culture festival South By South West last month – in the middle of the night, naturally – and was met with buzzy reviews for its outlandish premise and innovative set-pieces. Popular movie blog Slashfilm even compared it to Spike Jonze's acclaimed 2013 romantic drama, describing Upgrade as "Her as a gory action movie". Welcome to the future, readers, and please hold on to your jaws.

City Feels
Duster: Make Me Chic (c/o) | Top: Forever 21 (similar) | Belt: H&M (similar) | Leggings: Forever 21 | Heels: Forever 21 (similar) | Clutch: Adrienne Vittadini (similar)
I'm 99% positive that this is my favorite look that's ever hit the blog. There's nothing like putting on an outfit and feeling completely confident in what you're wearing - that's what this ensemble does for me. I added a belt to cinch the waist of this duster from Make Me Chic (it's only $27!) and put on my favorite strappy heels from Forever 21 to elevate the look - the result? Feeling like total boss lady status.
What's that one outfit that makes you feel like a total boss?

Articles, Tagged With "Self Discipline"
2011Unbelievable though it sounds, fish oil containing eicosapentaenoic acid or EPA, seems to slow down the ageing process and assist us to look younger by protecting the skin and inhibiting the chemical processes that take place when our skin is exposed to wreck-inducing stimuli, like the sun for instance. There are various merchandise on the market which can be designed to even the skin tone, however what I might advise for African American skin care are merchandise that contain an ingredient called Extrapone nutgrass root extract. This natural compound is a melanin inhibitor, and might either cut back the melanin in darker patches or lighten the pores and skin surrounding lighter patches. Both method you end up with a extra even complexion.
Like cleansers, moisturizers are for everyone and should be used each time you wash your face. And like cleansers, a bit of trial and error is completely regular once you're on the lookout for the best one – oily pores and skin, for example, can benefit from light-weight, oil-free or gel merchandise. Moisturizers prevent your pores and skin from drying out, leaving your skin hydrated and easy. They are simplest when applied while your skin is barely damp to seal in moisture.
Most individuals will only want to actually wash their face once a day. In the morning, rinsing with heat water earlier than applying moisturizer and sunscreen should suffice, while at night time, after a full day of publicity and damage, more devoted care is really useful. As such, earlier than mattress, you must wash your face with a cleanser to remove dirt and makeup then use toner, exfoliant and serums if you happen to so select. In any case, at all times finish with moisturizing.
Any formula that you simply put in your pores and skin … Read More...

Star conductor Alondra de la Parra is both reporter and protagonist in DW's unique new series "Musica Maestra." She will be appearing in 26 web-videos and six television shows.
"Musica Maestra" presents a fresh, contemporary take on classical music, with the first web-videos being published on July 15 on DW's English and Spanish Facebook pages, DW Culture and DW Español. Starting in October, the project will be broadcast on DW's television programs, both in English and Spanish.
Alondra de la Parra, a renowned conductor from Mexico, invites viewers behind the scenes of the music world as she speaks with distinguished musicians from around the world.

Alondra de la Parra represents a new type of classical musician, said DW's Director General Peter Limbourg.
"She thinks according to the new rule of modern execution of classical music and doesn't shy away from other genres. She uses social media like a pop star and makes great music accessible to many young people. And she is a great conductor in a male-dominated field."
De la Parra has made a name for herself with her international concert appearances and her commitment to Latin American composers. Since the beginning of 2017, she has been the music director of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra.
Among the highlights of the 2016/2017 season were her debut at the Beethovenfest Bonn and her performances with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra.
Alondra de la Parra was born in 1980 in New York and moved with her parents to Mexico as a young child. After studying in New York City, she founded the Philharmonic Orchestra of the Americas in 2004 with the aim of raising awareness of Latin American composers and their music.
As a sought-after guest conductor and head of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra in Brisbane, Australia, the Mexican-American maestra Alondra de la Parra knows that music is about communication - on every level. (12.07.2017)
Two music projects are bringing Mexico and Germany together. Deutsche Welle commissioned a composition for Bonn's Beethoven Fest, and the opening concert of Mexico's Year of Germany. (04.10.2016)
At the Beethovenfest's Campus Concert, the Mexican conductor leads the National Youth Orchestra of Germany. As she told DW, the event is also an exciting repeat encounter with a friend and colleague of her youth. (12.09.2016)

Woman's big mouth at brother's sentencing lands her behind bars
It must run in the family.
Harry Bailey's big mouth led to his February conviction of robbing and assaulting a developmentally disabled woman, but it was Bailey's sister's big mouth that got her cited for contempt and jailed after her brother's Tuesday sentencing.
Harry Bailey, 54, was convicted last month of burglary, robbery and two counts of felonious assault in a May 24 incident. The crimes were committed against Shawntelle Miller, a developmentally disabled woman who lived across the hall from Bailey in a Westwood apartment building.
The woman, who functions as a 9-year-old would, was injured so severely that her father said she she nearly died.
Bailey beat her, choked her and stole $80 and was tricked by police into saying he didn't place the scarf on Miller's neck when she was choked. Police never told Bailey her scarf was used or how.
"When he was hurting me," Miller wrote in a letter to the judge, naming Bailey as her attacker, "I told him I did not want to die. He then balled both his fists up, punched me and said he wanted to kill me. It hurt me."
"As a society, we should have her back," Assistant Hamilton County Prosecutor Linda Scott said at Tuesday's sentencing.
Common Pleas Court Judge Robert Ruehlman sent Bailey to prison for 24 years, the maximum possible – but the case wasn't over.
Ronda Bailey, the sister of the man the judge just sent to prison, was leaving the courtroom when she looked Miller's father in the eye and said "Retarded crackhead bitch" and left. Unfortunately for Ronda Bailey, her comment was heard by a Cincinnati police officer in court on another case.
Ronda Bailey, 46, was escorted back into the courtroom but denied she'd said anything to the father. The officer, though, told the judge he heard Ronda Bailey spew those words while looking at the victim's father.
"You're an animal, just like your brother," the judge told her.
The judge cited Ronda Bailey – her name also is spelled Rhonda in some court documents – for contempt of court and threw her in jail for 30 days.
"Call (Sheriff) Jim Neil," the judge told a deputy, " and make sure he holds her the full 30 days. Animal behavior."

The Buddy Bag Brigade
Our chosen charity for 2018 is The Buddy Bag Foundation and we have been fundraising this year, raising over £2,500 for the charity so far.
The Buddy Bag Foundation supports children who enter emergency care, providing them with 'Buddy Bags' filled with essential items. The aim of these bags is to give the children who receive them, a sense of hope and security after being removed from a traumatic experience.
Twice a month, The Buddy Bag Foundation organises the 'Buddy Bag Brigade' a volunteering event where volunteers pack the bags which are then allocated to women's refuge centres. We swapped our usual office location and joined the Buddy Bag Brigade one afternoon where we were able to see first-hand what happens with the money that we have raised.
The team were split into different tables, each responsible for packing individual rucksacks and we were set to work! The rucksacks are categorised into age groups, ranging from 13 – 16 year olds to 0 - 2 years old which were filled with tailored products including books, stationery, clothes through to toiletries and sanitary products.
While we were aware of the items that would be going into each rucksack, it was especially moving to see everything being assembled in real life – each bag representing one child who will have faced a hardship that no child should have to go through. The tiny toothbrushes, pyjamas and soft toys which were going to very young children were especially shocking. It really brought to light how important the bags are and how they can provide a little bit of happiness to very vulnerable children.
We packed 180 backpacks which were all labelled up, ready to be sent to women's refuge centres around the country with some locally based in Birmingham to ones further afield. We were delighted to have been able to take part and pack the backpacks but we also realised how 180 is only a very small number compared to the 15,000 children that enter emergency care every year.
As a team, we're aiming to raise as much money as we can to ensure that we are able to provide as many children as possible with Buddy Bags. Help us reach our goal and donate here.

Great investment opportunity:
Your own organically managed farmland in Panama!
Description of the Investment
The buyer acquires agricultural land in Panama, which is organically managed and administered for him by the operating company – from the seedling to the refrigerated shelf. In the legal sense, it is a purchase of real estate, whereby the buyer can be a private or legal person. The buyer is the titled land owner.
Currently there are mango and lime plantations to choose from. (The avocado plantations as well as the plantations with a mixed cultivation of bananas, pineapples and plantains are already sold. New agricultural land is being bought and developed for this purpose.)
All plantations are certified 100% organic by the USDA (US Department of Agriculture).
The investment company is the largest provider of organically farmed agricultural land in Latin America. Another investment project added a few months ago is a cashew plantation in Colombia. The organically produced and distributed products also end up on European supermarket shelves, but mainly in the US.
The local partner company, which is responsible for the operational business, has a professional and experienced management team and has been active in organic farming in Panama on a large scale for four generations.
The Benefits
- Your own, organically managed farmland – a turnkey, generation-spanning investment to expand your portfolio and/or as a (supplementary) annuity
- Secure, long-term and low-risk investment with high return
- 35% higher crop yields through organic farming
- 70% of the net profit from the harvest remain with the investor
- Annual payment of the income after the first harvest (after 4 years) over the entire lifetime of the plantation (at least 60 – 80 years)
- ROI of invested capital after 8 years
- Additional increase in value of the farmland regardless of the crop yield – currently in Panama approx. 10% annually
- Possibility to sell or inherit the land at any time
- Tax advantages: no land purchase and sales tax on agricultural land and no inheritance tax in Panama. The tax on capital income only applies to profits of $350,000 p.a. or more

Why Should You Book Our Vacation Rentals Directly with Us/
Not too long ago vacation rental guests and I were served well by the major vacation home rental websites like VRBO/HomeAway, Trip Advisor, and AirBnB. However, more recently sites like these have "stuck it to" both travelers and homeowners by insisting on 3%-10% booking fees to guests and increased site fees and control of the property booking process. In forcing these conditions upon us, guests and I alike are separated from each other and put at a disadvantage.
Due to these circumstances, I sought an alternative similar to what was available before- a site where guests can view a property, know its availability, and contact me directly for a quote or more information.
For us here at the Madison River Angler's Rest & Retreat, we have created an alternative to the money-grab of big corporate vacation rental websites. First, we created our own website from which this blog originates. Furthermore, we have contacted by email all previous guests and those who had inquired about staying at our vacation rentals (we were able to lift these email addresses from our VRBO/HomeAway dashboard). Here are some of the comments we received in response to our announcement that we were leaving VRBO/HomeAway:
"Thanks Ric! Big CORPS- F em!" from Drew
Thanks for the update. I never did like VRBO. from Shay
"Good riddance of VRBO. Don't blame you a bit..." from Dan
These are but a few of the responses that express the same sentiments. Indeed, no one yet has been supportive of what the Fat Cats are doing to guests and owners. Last, I am teaming up with a local vacation rental company Madison Management, www.madisonmanagement.com to promote our vacation rental. My goal is to give guests get a fair shake on pricing, while being able to expand my guest bookings and maintain control over my individual properties.
So what are the advantages with booking directly with me?
First, you will have more direct communication with me. I can more readily provide you with answers to your questions regarding the home or guest cabin. I can offer information about river conditions and fishing reports. I can set you with guides and concierge services. I can offer the latest in where to visit or what to do.
Also. by booking direct with me, I can offer more competitive rates, no booking fees, and less initial outlay of funds to hold the reservation. For example, as a Security Deposit I accept a personal check, which I do not cash, provided no loss, damage, or other liability occurs for which you or your guests are responsible. Last, I can offer a more guest-friendly cancellation policy.
In closing, I hope this post proves enlightening to travelers and hosts alike.

Spring Outfit Ideas
Light and Bright
Hooray, the clocks go forward this weekend - always one of the highlights of my year. Lighter evenings and brighter days, a cheerful prospect for us all!
On my travels in the shops last week I have spotted a few items you could get to create some outfits ready for when it finally warms up:
From the Top
Whistles are rolling out some fantastic tops this season. This bright blue tie front top gives a strong block of colour with the interesting detail of the tie front. Very wearable with jeans or wide legged trousers.
This Bardot top also by Whistles has a 70's feel to it with the colourful stripes. Stripes are a massive trend for Spring.
Back to Basics
The most hardworking basic in your wardrobe is jeans so it's good to have a few pairs you enjoy wearing. Topshop do great inexpensive jeans (around £40) like these dark blue Moto jeans below. If you want to stay bang-on trend then choose a frayed hem (see jeans below by Mother Denim) AND a kick flare or one or the other.
Any of my Personal Shopping clients will confirm I am very evangelical about getting lots of jackets in your wardrobe. Jackets finish off outfits and sometimes a fabulous jacket is all you need to make a great outfit, throw one on over a simple t-shirt and jeans and voila!
My personal favourite is a leather biker jacket and instead of harsh black, a softer Spring/Summer colour like this caramel brown one from Whistles or the beautifully soft, gorgeous slate blue biker by All Saints will give good bang for your buck. If you are a trend follower then go for a bomber jacket, they are everywhere at the moment, from Primark to the pricey silk version below by Muveil at Matches Fashion. If you like a smarter look that will be good for work and work with jeans at the weekend then a soft unstructured trench coat like the nude/beige one from &Other Stories below would look fantastic.
Mules Rule
Mules are back with a vengeance this season and the pale cream leather by Boutique at Topshop or the nude suede from Reiss will go with absolutely everything!
A couple of outfit ideas to kick-off your Spring style for 2016. More to come in the blog next week including a special blog on Wedding style for 2016.
If you would like help with organising your wardrobe and shopping I would love to hear from you, get in contact for a chat about how I can help.

This action will urge Senators and Representatives to include a delay of the HHS mandate, or otherwise provide conscience protections, as part of the omnibus spending bill they must pass by January 15. So time is of the essence.

According to leaked document found on NCC Taiwan's document, HTC possibly is preparing tracking and locating technology for mobile devices called Fetch. It's also said that Fetch may also gives user access to meet each other.
About a week ago, there was a big meeting among lawyers, polices, and phone manufacturers to discuss what can be done by OEM in order to tackling smartphone theft in U.S. cities. Some manufacturers invited at that event were Apple, Google, Microsoft, Motorola, and Samsung. HTC was not invited. However, HTC seems to think that anti-theft technology should be included on its smartphones.
We don't know much about HTC Fetch, so we must wait until the company gives information about HTC Fetch.
