MANCHESTER, England (REUTERS) - Jose Mourinho looked back on a Manchester United triumph that befitted a great club's finest traditions of heart and spirit on Saturday (April 7) and declared that the comeback win which denied Manchester City the title showed why they deserved more respect.
The United boss and his club were staring at potential humiliation at halftime in their neighbours' jubilant den, after being hopelessly outclassed at 2-0 down and looking bereft of ideas at how to stop Pep Guardiola's side running rings round them.
Yet, after an astonishing resurgence led by a previously somnolent Paul Pogba scoring twice and Chris Smalling volleying the winner in the 3-2 win, Mourinho was quick to reflect on the criticism he and his side have received this season.
Often subject to unflattering comparisons with Guardiola's dazzling team and their expansive approach, Mourinho evidently felt this was the moment for the critics to give United their proper due.
"We deserve a bit more respect than people give," he told the BBC.
"I think we are a bit better that what people think. The players are a bit better than what people think and I am a bit better than what people think.
"We're not as bad as people say we are. What we will try to prove is that we're the second best team in the country."
His United side had handed out City's first league defeat at the Etihad since December 2016 when Chelsea won there and the victory leaves them in a powerful position to finish second in the league.
They are now four points ahead of third-placed Liverpool and fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur yet Mourinho, whose relations with Guardiola have not always been so cordial, was happy to acknowledge how his rival had fashioned worthy champions-elect.
"Of course they (City) are frustrated because they wanted to do it today, but I congratulate them for the title because they are going to win - and deservedly," Mourinho said.
"They deserve the title because they don't give anyone else a chance."
He reckoned he had not been interested in playing the role of ultimate party-pooper but just wanted the three crucial points to help ensure Champions League football next season.
"We did not come here today to top their party. Our challenge is to finish second and this was a very important result for us because we needed mathematically six points to finish in the top four," said Mourinho.

It's one of the most important days of your life.
A day when everything comes together as you'd dreamed it would.
When it comes to your wedding, wanting the best is not too much to ask, and I'll help you find the look that's perfectly you.
I have the skills and experience to create a makeup that complements and highlights your natural beauty. We'll work together to tailor a look that fits both your taste and personality and have fun along the way!
The photos and memories of your wedding day will last a lifetime. You'll look back on them over the years to remember how you felt so wonderfully "you".
I'd love to hear all about your wedding plans
Give me a call at 0404 271 741
Let's chat about the look you're after, and how I can help you get there
Who's Kate?
I'm a makeup magician who hails from Old Sydney Town.
I completed my training over 14 years ago and have worked with models, actors, fashion designers and brides.
I understand what you're going through in the lead up to your wedding day as I've been there myself.
Have kit, will travel
My Tasmanian bridal makeup services are based out of Hobart, but I've worked with gorgeous brides from all around this beautiful island. I regularly travel to Bruny Island, Peppermint Bay, Howden and the Huon Valley for work. I also love "going bush" for a special wedding in the hills.
I was so fortunate to have the amazing Kate do makeup for my wedding.
I'd seen her remarkable ability to keep wedding makeup fresh and natural on a few other brides, so booking her services for me and my bridesmaids was top of my "To Do" list.
I'm 39 years old and never been much of a makeup wearer. Having a natural look without a fully loaded face of makeup was so important to me.
I was thrilled with how I looked and felt on my special day!
- Amber, Sydney

Life on the barrier islands off the coast of Virginia is not for the faint of heart. Marshes, mosquitos, harsh ocean winds, and destructive storms marching up the coast have challenged ponies and people for centuries. Today, a beloved tradition commemorates the true grit of both. It's July, time for Pony Penning on Chincoteague Island, setting for "Seeds of Evidence."
Holt Medallion!
Some human activities require a lot of personal investment over a long time with no assurance of reward. Raising kids comes to mind; writing books is another.
This weekend, I received a little encouragement for the journey– "Seeds of Evidence" won a Holt Medallion as the Best Book by a Virginia Author, and an Award of Merit for Romantic Suspense in the Virginia Romance Writers 2014 contest! I am thrilled.
Sweet review!
What a turnaround! One minute she is on a high from getting Senator Grable to admit to influence peddling and then, before the evening is over, Special Agent Mackenzie Graham is trying to help him. No wonder the powerful Senator didn't want her on the special team to help him find his young five year old daughter Zoe who had been kidnapped from her bed. To top it off, she had neglected to pack an away bag in her car. Why had she made such a newbie mistake? Despite that inglorious start, Special Agent Scott Hansbrough had his own reasons for keeping the attractive blonde agent on his team.
So thankful!
Three wonderful things have happened this week:
1. Emilie Hendryx posted a great interview HERE but more than that, we've made a connection. She's moving to the D.C. area in the fall to help plant a church which originates out of The Village Church in Dallas. I'm so excited about the passion of my children's generation for Christ! I'm praying for that new work … and welcome Emilie in advance to the East Coast.

Sewing an invisible zipper is intimating at first thought. But when you've got the right tools and the patience it becomes even easier. It's tricky and takes practice. I've found this method the easiest way to accomplish this kind of zipper. Remember your invisible zipper foot!
First Steps
- Prepare centre back seam, either sewing regularly to the end point of the zipper or leaving open for easier placement and access when sewing.
- Crease the seam as a guide with an iron (or baste a seam line) on each side.
- Trim any cross-seams, like a waist seam
- Position the open zipper on one side and pin to lay flat
- Use an invisible zipper foot! The roller or similar feature of this foot pushes the zipper teeth out of the way just enough to sew close to them.
- Come as close to your end point as best you can!
- Repeat with the other side. Check that the zipper is even by zipping it up and pinning at the top. Open it again and pin all the way down the zipper tape.
Finishing the Ends
- To make a smooth transition from zipper to CB seam switch to a regular zipper foot and join it to the rest of the seam (if you left the seam open continue all the way down to the hem.)
- You may have to go slightly above and/or to the left and that's okay. On the right side, no one will know the wiser!

Are coming back east to run it?
NYC finally came out with some options for this years canceled race:
1. Full Refund and you go back into the lottery
2. G'teed entry in 2013 or 2014 or 2015 marathon and you still have to pay the entry fee again (so now you'll be into a race for close to $500)
3. G'teed entry into the 2012 half marathon and you have to pay all fees again.
Has anyone run the Oak Square Scare?
im a runner! go for it stef, and bring the dog too!
A friend of mine whom I work with went running 3 miles yesterday in the 0 degree temperature ... wearing just a T-shirt and track pants. WTF!
Does anyone know of a good 50k in New England mid-April to late May? I've been looking everywhere and can only find the Don't Run Boston and TARC run. I really want to do a 50k this year but want to get it in before summer hits (wedding season).
It's memorial day weekend, I'm registered for the 50K, it'll be my first.
Been getting out on a regular basis since late March...pace is still slower than I'd like (about 9:00/mile) but I've built up morning runs to just over 4 miles. Did try to do a 10K run a few weeks ago but I set my pace too fast and the heat got to me, had to stop and walk just before the end. Want to sign up for a 10K in the fall.
Have not had any significant injuries, a few possible muscle pulls and I may be having some sciatica-related pain (get the wallet out of the back pocket for a while). Have found that having the right shoes and paying some attention to running form helps to reduce impact stresses.
Can't complain since last September I would have been gasping after a 0.5 mile run around the block...

Mediterranean design is based on the popular architecture found in the whole Mediterranean region which includes Spain and Italy, as well as Moorish and Byzantine countries. In recent years, Mediterranean design has been greatly influenced by traditional Native American style.
A typical Mediterranean-inspired house carries a highly structured vibe but still invokes a cozy and cool atmosphere that can be mostly seen in places with warm climates like in Florida, Texas, Arizona and California.
A Mediterranean exterior is easily identified with the use of bricks painted in cream and a contrasting color on the roof. The wooden framed windows can also be one of its outstanding features.
Asymmetrical floor design is typical in a Mediterranean-designed home. The floor plan is usually in the shape of a "U" or an "L". The reason for this kind of floor plan is to allow the open breeze to flow through the entirety of the house.
The interior of a Mediterranean-inspired house uses any color palette, but the common colors include green (foliage), blue (ocean, and similar hues from nature.
Here are some more exterior elements of a Mediterranean-inspired home:
1. Ornamental iron work
Well-crafted iron works can be seen on stair railings, window grills, lanterns and gates.
2. Balcony
This is designed as an extra space where homeowners are able to enjoy the fresh air and the view.
3. Tower-like chimneys
A perfect example of function and style is the presence of a tower-like chimney that is artistically designed and includes moldings and small windows.
To give an earthy, warm and rustic look, red clay roof tops are common in a Mediterranean-inspired home that is asymmetrical or multi-level. Terracotta perfectly complements the earthy hues of Mediterranean design.
5. Hand-painted tiles
This kind of tile represents the cultural influences of the Spanish.
6. White stucco exterior wall
A fresh layer of white paint over (roughly textured) stucco is applied on the exterior walls of the house.
7. Arches and curves
These elements break the rough edges of the whole house to make it more appealing. These arches may be seen on windows and doors.
8. Wooden doors and gates
These are often made with iron details and are made of thick, heavy wood.
9. Pathways, courtyard, and patio
Spanish lifestyle embraces outdoor living. Having a huge space allows homeowners to enjoy the outside environment. It naturally becomes an extension of their living room.
Designing Your Home
Most design experts recommend matching the design of your windows to the look of your door. Some of the best window design choices include the following:
- Arched windows: This adds a very distinctive and impressive look. Just like window walls, this allows more light to come in which brightens the inside of the house and gives an airy feeling. The downside of using this kind of window is that it cannot be of help during the winter season, and not being able to open it may make the house feel warmer during summer.
- Wrought iron grilled window: This kind of window is often used as a decorative piece and as a protective shield for the glass window. You can turn your ordinary windows into a Mediterranean style window just by adding wrought iron grill encased into the window.
- Wooden window grille: You may replace your glass windows using this design element. However, this may make the inside of the room a bit dark since natural light could not pass through unless you open your windows wide enough to let the light in.
You may not have enough resources to build a Mediterranean-inspired home, but you can be playful and creative on how you can make your homes follow the design. By changing certain areas in the house and experimenting on color and pattern combinations, you may be able to pull off an impressive Mediterranean interior in your home.

We had a lot of fun playing together on this shoot and playing games for giggles. I love this sweet mama too! She is always so kind, and I love her cute French accent! Thanks for coming to play with me every year! I love my repeat customers, which is why when I raise prices, I still give my families who have been with me year after year a great deal. I love them, and I appreciate them. YOU are who make this dream possible for me...to be able to record family memories for generations to come.

Living a life as an artist, certainly will not escape from the frenetic life of a glamorous and glitzy. However, bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor just another opinion. According to him, life as an artist, especially his life, is not as glitzy as long as people are saying this.
Ranbir career that is now being hoisted indeed make it are often made headlines in the media. Therefore it normal that then fans think that life is very glamorous. But Ranbir himself revealed that all those reported have been exaggerated.
"At first it is kind of shy anyway. But for long accustomed too. In fact, sometimes I enjoy it. Gak all who reported it wrong. 80 percent correct in fact, only of course there is a little exaggerated," said Ranbir, as reported by the timesofindia.indiatimes . com.
Furthermore, Ranbir also revealed that the submarine is he just an ordinary life. He's always doing normal things like normal humans. Things are certainly very far from the glamorous life.
"They were making life even more glamorous than the original. Though his life is simple. Wake up, brush teeth, go to work continued to come home," he continued.
When asked about her love life, Ranbir has also revealed that his love story is also not much different from the society at large. Ranbir also fell in love, even had time to feel the heartbreak. But of course he experienced not as a scene in the film.
"Yes, I was single. Not married and I like women. I am very heterosexual, so dating a woman is not a difficult thing for me. But it is not a love story in the media scene anyway," said Ranbir.
"Of course everyone also had a broken heart. But the pain was not as dramatic as in the movies," he concluded.

Leila Slimani's "Lullaby" was the best selling book in France in 2016 before becoming an international success. "Adèle" came out in France before "Lullaby", but this is its first outing in English, in a sharp and nuanced translation from Sam Taylor. It is a short, disturbing novel, written in the present tense and set in a bleak and amoral Paris.
Like Emma Bovary, Adèle is married to a doctor. She also echoes the nihilism of Flaubert's heroine. Adèle is a successful journalist, but thoroughly bored by her rather proper, borderline-prudish husband Richard. She feels excluded – almost redundant – because of her husband's fierce love for their child. She is also obsessed by transgressive sex – with her boss, her best friend's boyfriend, and a pair of male prostitutes.

Welcome to my first ever painting tutorial demo! It was definitely a bit of a learning experience recording and editing it, and I have a few improvements I'll be working on before my next one, but all in all hopefully you can glean something interesting out of my video.
If you haven't already, make sure to check out last week's Tutorial Tuesday to see what is on my palette and which colors I mix for my skin tones. Alright, get ready for a somewhat cheesy Caleigh Bird....
Hope you enjoyed it! I would love your thoughts or impressions in the comments, especially since it's my first vid. Thank you!

TOMB RAIDER reboots the entire franchise with this excellent origins story.
pc, adventure
A clever origins story of Lara Croft given a new depth for the new technology.
The menu certainly looks great in stereoscopic but the first cut scenes are not good on my equipment. Doubling and fluttering out of sync until the game play begins. However when it does, boy, oh, boy does it ever start with a bang! You find yourself hung upside down and surrounded by other suspicious hanging white bags full of what can only be the corpses of other victims like yourself.
The claustrophobic caves and tunnels are broken only by the hanging body of another young woman who obviously didn't fare as well as you. As you finally make it outside and look at the Cliffside view the limitations of the stereoscopic imaging are observed. The tree's, tracks and surrounding geography looks great, but as you get further away the depth perception flattens a little.
You don't notice this too much however as soon you are quickly immersed back into the tight jungle confines where the immediate vicinity looks great in 3d. Everything runs well until you watch the playback on the little camcorder. Again the video matinee flutters and fails until she switches off the camera and we are back at the campsite.
Pretty soon the story has you killing wild deer for food, hiding from crazed cultists and ravenous wolves. The stereoscopic flutters thankfully only ever occur rarely in the matinees of the "found footage" on the camcorder.
The claustrophobic walls and tunnels are perfectly textured and with the high level of detail in Lara herself the combination makes for a hyper realistic environment. If you are a fan of the series or if you are a noob to the franchise the game delivers something very unique. Less of the puzzles of old and more realistic survival horror and thrills.
By the first few encounters Lara is a blood splattered mess like you might see emerging from the dungeon of some Texas Chainsaw horror film. Fortunately you can swap with a selection of stylish outfits that Miss Cross might require in guerrilla warfare.
The sure aim outfit is very reminiscent of Katnis from The Hunger Games.
You are reminded often that this is not a children's game when you are dropped into streams of blood and dismembered bodies. Especially gruesome in stereoscopic. The signal responds more directly to the Pineal gland so the deaths of your friends dramatically imprint the sense of urgency to your reptilian mind and that fight and flight instinct kicks in.
The bricks and stone environments all have a solidity to them in stereoscopic that you don't get if you play the game in standard display. The skin textures and character animations all add to the realism the game conveys.
It's a pity those slight glitches let down its overall rating but definitely worth a play. When you are exploring the caverns and climbing far to reach area's in 3d space you're really get the feeling that you are truly exploring a new world. It's only when you are looking out over an expansive area that the doubling occurs where the parallax isn't set up for the distance.
Over all a great game though. Can't wait to see if they have resolved these stereoscopic issues in the latest release. Review coming soon!

- Roxanne Fequiere's experience with representation and racial overcorrection in the workplace, "Too Black for Black Friday", premiered on Lenny Letter this past Friday. One great highlight:
And, my boss explained, the company as a whole had been taking baby steps toward diversity, citing a black female model with natural hair who had made it all the way to our homepage without being called out. Baby steps.
- The Reading Life with Parul Sehgal, Book Critic at The New York Times (SSENSE)
"I make myself do unpleasant things constantly. Anything I'm scared of doing, I have to go and do it. I'm perversely attracted to putting myself in fearful, uncomfortable positions, but less so since I've gotten older. Perhaps it's because my natural bent in life is just to fiddle with sentences, this attraction to risk was a way to ensure I'd see something of life, beyond my desk."
- Eve Ewing, creative queen of Chicago (PRI, radio interview)
"I think part of the human condition is that we're attracted to specificity of narrative because we're able to fill in our own story," the "Electric Arches" author explains. "There's something so magical about somebody's ability to accurately describe a place and a set of people."
- 'I Want a Wife,' the Timeless '70s Feminist Manifesto (The Cut, originally New Yorkmagazine, 1971)
"My God, who wouldn't want a wife?"

The bat and ball game of cricket is performed with 2 groups of eleven gamers on a subject, within the centre of that are two wickets set at each finish of a 22 yard lengthy pitch. In addition to the basic equipment, some gamers wear protective gear to forestall damage brought on by the ball, which is a tough, stable spheroid made of compressed leather-based with a barely raised sewn seam enclosing a cork core which is layered with tightly wound string.
Leg Before Wicket (LBW) – If the ball is bowled and it hits the batsman first with out the bat hitting it then an LBW choice is feasible. It might probably become laborious to proceed to verify in with them, and plenty of could choose to leave fielding on auto to allow them to concentrate on core gameplay.

September Summer
It was with a sigh of relief that we turned the calendar page from August to September. At the height of summer, August was composed of smoke-filled skies, temperatures close to 100, and thunderstorms that would not quite quench our thirst. We took a few afternoons off, celebrated the cooler temperatures and wind that drove the smoke out of the valley.
And now, we are careening towards fall. Or so we thought.
September continues to surprise us as the busiest month of the season for farming. Our harvest list now fills two pages and the bathtubs in our wash station are overflowing as the bounty of both summer and fall collide. Summer squash, cucumbers, green beans, broccoli, and eggplant won't quit. Our loyal standbys of carrots, beets, kale, and chard are still holding strong. The long-awaited tomato harvest is finally upon us, along with its cousins: tomatillos, ground cherries, and the full rainbow (and heat) spectrum of peppers. Potatoes are ready to be popped out of the ground. And my personal favorite, Brussel sprouts, are ready too. Shallots and garlic are already cleaned and cured. And if we pause in the midst of this blur, we can see winter squash lurking under giant leaves and turning golden in the nearly-autumnal sun.
When we set up for CSA pick up, the tables stagger under the weight of the harvest. This means that September is the most exciting time of year for cooking (and if you're going for extra credit, perhaps that means canning, freezing, dehydrating, and pickling). When I open the cookbooks I've carted from the Northwest – where the growing season is longer and California is not so far away – I often have to adapt recipes to fit with what is available here in Montana. September, though, needs no substitutions, and is the time to go all out! With only three weeks left in our CSA, this bounty will not last forever.
Last night I enjoyed a delicious slice of ratatouille pizza from The Clove Cart, which I think the perfect emblem of the September harvest. This month, I'm going to be making Mediterranean-inspired dishes like this salad, from Cornucopia at Home.
- 2 medium eggplants
- 3 cans of garbanzo beans
- 4 oz feta cheese
- Salad greens
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- 2-3 tsp cumin
- 2/3 c. olive oil
- 3 T lemon juice
- sun-dried cherry tomatoes – I used about a pint, before dehydrating
The original recipe calls for spinach, but our spinach at Orchard Gardens is not quite ready. Lightly steaming chard or kale works nicely.
I dried the tomatoes overnight on my dehydrator; oven-drying would also work.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Chop the eggplant into cubes and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Transfer to a baking tray and roast until tender, about 20 minutes, turning occasionally. Set aside to cool.
Blend all dressing ingredients in a food processor (or immersion blender) to create a thick tomato puree.
Drain and rinse garbanzo beans. Chop feta into small cubes. Place in a bowl with the eggplant and spoon the dressing over, combining gently. Serve on a bed of greens.

Java's Evolution
Java (originally called Oak) was developed because Sun was having difficulty using C++ as part of a larger project. Java was designed to have a small footprint when it ran standalone in small machines and devices. The Java language was derived from C++ but without many of the cumbersome, difficult-to-use features of C++. Java's cross-platform capability originally addressed the problem that applications for embedded devices must run on a wide variety of hardware (without the benefit of a standardized operating system).
Java failed to capture the market in spite of a concerted push into Interactive TV. For a period, Java looked like another good technical idea that would fail comercially.
The Internet came on strong in 1995 but webpages did not have dynamic capability. Java soon looked like an ideal tool: it could run on the many operating systems of Internet-connected clients. Netscape licenced Java in mid-1995 for its browser. In a short period, many applets (which run inside a browser) were built and Java quickly gained popularity and acceptance.
Before long, Sun and others in the anti-Microsoft camp, saw a potential for Java beyond the browser (see Figure 1). The so-called network computer would be a simple device which could run Java applications on the client-side. The camp predicted that soon network computers would make the Windows operating system obsolete.
Figure 1: Dreams of Java Ruling the Client
While Java's cross platform capability and its ability to download applications on-the-fly had promise, Java had limited success on the client-side. A number of factors could explain why Java did not meet its early client-side ambitions:
Fortunately for Java, Sun started to target middle-tier capabilities for Java so it would run in the Web/Application Server.
In 1997, Sun defined Servlets so Java could be used to generate HTML webpages with dynamic content. Sun also defined Enterprise JavaBeans so Business Logic could be effectively developed in Java.
In 1999, Sun pulled together its overall middle tier solution for Java called Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE). J2EE describes how to build middle-tier components in a way that these application components can run on Web Servers and Application Servers produced by many leading vendors. The Web/Application Server automate many of the mechanical services like parsing webpages, handling security, persistence/connection pooling, messaging and name services. The J2EE framework frees developers to concentrate on building application content while the vendors provide the logic that provides scalability, reliability security, etc.
Most would agree that Java's current strength lies in building middle tier components.
In future, Java may gain more success in the client (especially if Window's grip weakens). Better Java performance and the introduction of Java 2 Micro Edition open the door for increased use of Java in embedded devices.

The episode begins in a city on Mars. Two syndicate bosses are signing a paper to signify their alliance, marking it in blood imprints of their thumbs to make it official. Everything seems to go smoothly and the two part on friendly terms. However as the one leaving is heading out on his ship it suddenly blows up. The other boss, watching this, is suddenly ambushed by men in trenchcoats and held at swordpoint. He tries to tell the leader of this outfit, a man of silver hair, that times have changed and the syndicates can't continue with their warfare. However the leader silts his throat in response. The boss's final words are that if Spike was there he would never have let the leader do this. The leader just cracks a smile upon hearing that.
On the Bebop, Spike and Jet have gotten a new bounty but seem to be in disagreement over it. The bounty is the mob boss from earlier, Spike is all for going after him but Jet has a bad feeling about the whole thing. He asks Spike what he's trying to hide from him but Spike dodges the question and counters with one of his own about Jet's prosthetic arm, leaving the two at a standstill. Faye gets back from shopping and breaks up the tension a little before Spike heads off on his own. Jet tells him he won't back him up but this doesn't deter Spike who takes off in the Swordfish. Faye reads the bounty, identifying the man as Mao Yenrai. Jet cuts the monitor before she can know more and huffs off. No sooner then he leaves, a contact of Jet's calls with "something big". Faye, being the greedy little vixen, takes the info for herself.
Later at an opera house, Faye arrives claiming to be a guest of Mao Yenrai to the usher before leaving her ship's keys to him. Back on the Bebop, Jet investigates more into Mao and finds an encrypted file, he breaks through and realizes there's more to the bounty then let on. At the opera, the show is just beginning as Faye makes her way to Mao's box. However the guards there were expecting her and hold her at gunpoint. We then go a convenience store, two boys are leering at porno magazines and try to tuck them under their shirts. But the owner, a middle aged woman, notices this and orders them to put them back. The boys run with one tripping and being caught while the other runs into a man who happens to be Spike. He also swiped the magazine the boy was carrying. The boy is caught by the woman who threatens to turn both of them to the police until she notices Spike. Shocked, she releases her grip on the boys who run off. Spike and the woman, named Annie, head back to her shop where she promptly starts drinking to ease her nerves. The two apparently have history together and she's not keen on seeing him now alive after being supposedly dead for three years, especially when he calls her by her full name, Anastasia, citing only two people can call her that (the photo on her counter showing Mao and another man, her husband). Regardless Annie knows why Spike has come to visit her and tells him what happened to Mao.
Back with Faye, she's forced into the box seat, the guards revealing they found out about her through her ship's keys. Having no choice, she takes her seat and finds the seat occupied next to her being Mao, or rather his corpse much to her horror. A voice notices she's trembling and she finds it belongs to the silver haired man from before. She demands his name and he answers; Vicious. Back at the store, Annie gives Spike some ammunition but tries to persuade him not to go fight Vicious though knows he won't listen. She then somberly tell Spike that Mao had people looking for him having a feeling that Spike was still alive somewhere. But now that he's come back, Mao will never be able to confirm it. She goes to take one last drink for Mao but Spike takes it, claiming if its for Mao he'll drink it himself. Spike returns to the Bebop to stock up on further ammunition before he's confronted by Jet. Jet tells him that the bounty is fake and most likely a trap but Spike has long since figured that out. Jet asks if its about Mao and Spike comes clean that its a debt to him. Jet tries one last time to dissuade him by revealing he lost his arm "for being too gung-ho" in the past. But Spike doesn't budge, stating he doesn't want to do this but his past is catching up to him so he has no choice.
The two get a call from Faye who's tied up. She tries to tell them her location but Jet nearly cuts her off, telling her to deal with it herself. Spike stops him however, knowing Vicious is setting a trap for him and wants the location. Said destination being a rundown cathedral on the edge of town. Spike arrives, donned in a trenchcoat and heads in, soon meeting up with Vicious. The two trade words (where we learn that either Spike or Mao Yenrai mentored Vicious) before one of Vicious's goon shows up holding Faye hostage. He tries to get Spike to drop his gun. But Spike keeps his aim and manages to kill the goon without hitting Faye. A firefight breaks out between Spike and Vicious's men while Faye makes her escape amidst the hail of gunfire. Spike makes his way to the top floor of the cathedral where Vicious is, but en route is hit in the arm and wounded. Back on the Bebop, Jet is trimming his bonsai trees but can't concentrate. He gets a call from Faye begging for help but cuts her off not wanting to have anything to do with the situation. However his conscience gets the better of him and he heads off. Back at the church, Spike finishes off the last of Vicious' goons before having to fight the man himself who attacks him with a katana.
Spike manages to hold his own before both end up pointing their respective weapons at each other point blank. At a stalemate, Vicious cites the two aren't so different as the blood of "a "beast who wanders, hunting for the blood of others" runs through both of them. Spike disagrees: "I've bled all that kind of blood away," to which Vicious' furiously responds "THEN WHY ARE YOU STILL ALIVE?!" Both men wound each other at that moment. Vicious recovers first and grabs Spike by the face before throwing him out the cathedral's window. However Spike manages to drop a grenade which Vicious notices at the last second. As Spike falls and the cathedral explodes, he sees visions of his past life, among the most prominent being a blonde haired woman who had nursed him back to health after he collapsed in front of her shop after a dangerous assignment. As he was recovering, he awakened to her humming and asks her to keep going before passing out.
Spike awakens in the present day, back on the Bebop and his wounds bandaged, this time to find Faye humming. She mentions he's been out for three days. He motions Faye to come closer before telling her she sings off key. Faye takes offense to that and hits him with a pillow before storming off.
See You Space Cowboy
This episode has the following tropes:
- Badass Longcoat: Spike wears one for the confrontation at the church.
- Ballad of X
- Batman Grabs a Gun: We've never really seen a No Kill rule from Spike, except insofar as it's been required by his profession. However, his Let's Get Dangerous! moment here involves him going in heavily armed and eager to kill.
- Bloodstained Glass Windows: In true John Woo fashion, Spike and Vicious's first clash in years takes place in a church.
- Boom, Headshot!: Spike pulls one off that sets the firefight in motion.
- Bowdlerize: Very "blink-and-you-miss-it," but the porno mag the kids steal from the store was altered. In the original version, the model was topless, but in the [adult swim] version, she had on a bra.
- Brick Joke: The Ace card
- Cerebus Syndrome: Coming off the comedy-centric last episode, this was quite the dark and dramatic turnaround.
- Destination Defenestration: Through a stained glass window, no less!
- Eye Take/ Oh, Crap!:Vicious: You're trembling.Faye: Who... are you?Vicious: ... ... Vicious.Faye: o_o ... O_O;◊
- Face Palm Of Doom/Neck Lift: You just had to piss off the psychopathic Blood Knight, didn't you Spike?
- Guns Akimbo: Spike blasts off with two guns at one point during the big church shootout.
- Guns vs. Swords: Spike vs. Vicious
- Heroic Bloodshed: This is the very first of the blood-opera inspired episodes of the series.
- Knight of Cerebus: Vicious's introduction is the kick-start to Spike's Arc and the overarching story to Bebop. Unlike the previous bounties, Vicious is far more cold-blooded and can incite fear just by saying his name.
- Oh, Crap!: Vicious gets this look when he realises that Spike left a grenade with him after being thrown out of the cathedral.
- Faye sports a pair of Oh, Crap! eyes as well just by having Vicious say his name.
- Mob War: Subverted as the Syndicates are trying for peace but Vicious, being both a warmonger and Social Darwinist, prevents it from happening and frames Mao for this to set his bounty and lure Spike out.
- Mexican Standoff: One of the series' classic images, Spike with his gun and Vicious with his sword.
- Not So Different: Vicious cites Spike and him as this during their tense standoff.
- Put Down Your Gun and Step Away: A Red Dragon mook tries this with Spike with Faye as his hostage. It doesn't end well for the mook.
- Slow-Motion Fall: The famous and very beautiful one of the series as Spike falls from the cathedral.
- Soundtrack Dissonance: A rather beautiful female vocal piece plays as Spike is falling.
- Wham Episode: This is the first episode where the Red Dragon comes into play, and we learn through the episode that Spike was once a member of the syndicate. It's also the very first glimpse we get of Julia, the woman Spike loves most in the world.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: We never see Vicious escape the church. While he appears in later episodes, it's unknown if he got out unscathed or not.

We are on the third blessing of the Nisim B'Chol Yom/the blessings for daily miracles recited during morning prayers:
"Praise to You, Adonai our God, Sovereign of the universe,
who frees the captive."
In our modern world, finding everyday miracles can be challenging. Opportunities to ransom people from slavery or captivity do not present themselves on a daily basis, at least not in obvious ways. That is not to say these concepts do not exist, they are most certainly present, just not in a form we may recognize. Instead of chains of iron, we have chains of hunger, hatred, debt or lack of education. Individuals may be "in captivity" as a result of illness, disability or abuse. To search for modern day captives, we must be aware of the world around us and its possibilities. Then we must ask ourselves if we are doing all that we can to "free the captives" who are trapped in a way that keep them far from those possibilities.
Releasing those chains could be as simple as providing a ride to the doctor for your elderly neighbor who has a serious chest cold or as difficult as publishing a letter to convince world leaders to take some real action regarding Global Climate Change. This is where one of my favorite quotes comes in:
Rabbi Tarfon used to say:
"It is not your duty to complete the work, but neither are you free to desist from it." ~ Pirke Avot 2:21
We all have our limits – age, resources, space, energy, you name it – however, those limits do not preclude us for doing something…some…thing…to free someone from a difficulty that binds them. I know I cannot fix the Israeli-Palestinian situation, problems in Syria, hunger in America, gun violence, the imminent shut down of the US government or any of the innumerable crises I read about in the newspaper every day. I can hand a protein bar to the person on the street asking for money and feel like I provided some nutrition to that individual. I can stand up to someone cursing on the bus when children are present and tell them to stop. I can write and link readers to books that may help them help others. While that certainly is not going to "complete the work," I feel like I have made a good start.
Happy Reading,
Kathy B.
Here are some books that may help you find the "captives" in your world. Look around, you will be surprised how helpful you can be when your eyes are wide open.
Legend of Freedom Hill by Linda Jacobs Altman. Illustrated by Ying-Hwa Hu. ©2003, Lee & Low Books. Ages 5-10. In a California Gold Rush town, Sophie, a Jewish girl, and Rosabel, and African American girl, become close friends because they are unique from everyone else. When a slave catcher captures Rosabel's mother, the two girls use all they know about the town and its surroundings to raise enough money to redeem her and several other slaves. A beautiful example of the mitzvah of Pidyon Shvuyim/Freeing the Captive.
Say Something by Peggy Moss. Illustrated by Lea Lyon. ©2004, Tilbury House Publishers. Ages 6-11. The narrator in this timely book sees children in her school who are teased and picked on. While she does not participate, neither does she say anything to stop the actions of her peers.

Her experience frees her from staying away from others for no reason and from staying silent.
Playing War by Kathy Beckwith. Illustrated by Lea Lyon. ©2005, Tilbury House Publishers. Ages 5-10. On a day too hot to play basketball, Luke and his friends decide to play War. Sameer, who is new to the neighborhood, declines to play and reveals that he has lived in a war zone.

The Forgiveness Garden by Lauren Thompson. Illustrated by Christy Hale. ©2012, Feiwel and Friends. Ages 5-10. Two villages living across the river from one another have a long history of mutual contempt. When a young boy from one village throws a rock that hits a young girl from the other, anger, fear, and hatred reach a fever pitch. The boy is captured by the girl's village, and she is asked to throw a rock at him to begin another war. Instead she throws the rock to the ground and begins building a Forgiveness Garden where the two villages can to talk about their past and learn about each other.
Pigeon and Pigeonette By Dirk Derom. Illustrations by Sarah Verroken. ©2009, Enchanted Lion Books. Ages 4-10. Pigeonette's wings are so small he cannot fly. Pigeon is blind and cannot see where he is going. Understanding that each needs help from the other, they become good friends. After many attempts to learn the ups and downs of navigation and flying, they work together to leave the cold winter forest to travel to the place of sun and warm toes.
Beatrice's Goat by Page McBrier. Illustrated by Lori Lohstoeter. ©2001, Atheneum Books for Young Readers. Ages 4-10. Beatrice lives in a small village in Uganda where she must help her mother take care of the smaller children, plant the fields, feed the chickens and grind cassava into flour. What Beatrice really wants to do is go to school and learn to read and write. There is no money for books or a uniform, however. When the news comes that they are going to receive a goat, the lives of Beatrice and her family take an amazing turn for the better.
Also read Give a Goat by Jan West Schrock, illustrated by Aileen Darragh, a wonderful companion to Beatrice's Goat.

Amr Arafa was just a kid in suburban Cairo when Schindler's List came out, but he remembers the protective impulse he felt while watching it. "I wished that I lived in the era, so that I could help hide people," the 34-year-old tells me, perched on a high-backed chair in his studio apartment in Washington, D.C., on a sweltering June afternoon.
The international refugee crisis—specifically, viral footage of a reporter tripping a father and child fleeing police at the Hungarian border—reignited those early sentiments. Arafa, who works with Fannie Mae as a business consultant, couldn't draw political cartoons, as his brother does in Dubai. Nor could he donate huge sums to humanitarian organizations. But he could code and strategize for the web. So he built a website, EmergencyBNB, modeled after Airbnb but designed to connect refugees to people in their host country with a room or apartment to spare—for free. (It's similar to a German effort launched in 2015, but according to Arafa, easier to use for both hosts and guests.)
The website didn't gain much traction, so Arafa also made his own apartment available on Airbnb. He charges $10 per night, the website's minimum. The listing specifies that his space, which is plastered with posters of Manhattan and Banksy-esque decals, is only open to refugees (as well as victims of domestic violence and… Bernie Sanders). Since last fall, he has received hundreds of requests, mostly from poor graduate students, according to Arafa. Airbnb, which declined to comment on Arafa's arrangement, has apparently deactivated his listing multiple times because Arafa has rejected so many room-seekers. Arafa says that only three have been "legitimate" refugee applicants: a couple from Syria and one woman from Iran.
All three had traveled to D.C. to meet with their respective embassies, and none of them matched the image of destitution that Westerners see on television. Arafa says that his Iranian guest was well-to-do, working as a day-trader in Manhattan. The Syrian couple, though nearly penniless, were university-educated. But free lodging isn't entirely the point, Arafa says: "It is the fact that it is offered by a stranger who cares." After verifying his guests' refugee documents, he says he approved their stay, refunded their payment upon arrival, and spent several nights on a friend's couch. Arafa says he did the same for a woman attempting to escape her abusive husband. "As a refugee who came a long way, I appreciated Amr's offer and I think whoever can do anything for any refugee to make their life easier, should not hesitate," wrote the woman from Iran, Minoo Mirsaidi, in her review.*
After emigrating to the U.S. for a master's degree in computer science in 2005, Arafa lived on a series of stringent immigrant visas. One of them restricted him from returning home, even after his father passed away. The stress of reapplication was always just around the corner. Last year, Arafa received his green card. EmergencyBNB feels like a simple way of paying forward his newfound freedom and stability. His hope is that humanitarian-minded Americans who stumble on his listing will be inspired to put their own spaces on Airbnb, and eventually on a scaled-up EmergencyBNB—if he can garner a lot more interest.
Which may be a big "if." The U.S. accepted only 70,000 refugees in fiscal year 2015, due in part to an unwelcoming American public. On the campaign trail, anti-immigrant and anti-refugee sentiment is loud and caustic. "For the amount of money Hillary Clinton would like to spend on refugees, we could rebuild every inner city in America," Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, said in a speech Wednesday. It is a flagrantly false statement, and one indication of how some Americans seem to feel about refugees. It seems unlikely that Arafa's website will reach a critical mass in terms of hosts.
In that sense, EmergencyBNB appears to be as much of a political statement as a scaleable solution to an international crisis. But Arafa holds firm in his belief that his efforts are practical. "Everyone thinks this is extremely risky, opening up my home," he says. "Even the Syrian refugees thought I was crazy, telling me about Trump this and Trump that. But I don't see it as risky. I find it logical, and appropriate, given the current situation."

As any parent of toddlers and babies knows, poop is a common topic of conversation. "So, honey, did junior poop today?" "You would not believe the amount of poop that just came out of that baby!" You know what I mean. Non-parents would wonder why in the world would somebody blog about poop?
Enter Gemma's room after quiet time. Blankets, books, clothes piled all over the floor, pulled this way and that by a restless two year old who doesn't want to nap. Potty chair sitting on the floor, lid open, empty, purposefully left there by Gemma's Mama, namely me. Gemma laying on the floor with the chair cushion, removed from the chair, as a pillow and a blanket covering her. Gemma is wearing a shirt and two dresses, one on top of the other. Next to Gemma on the rug? Poop, a complete turd and a partial turd, thankfully not stepped on or otherwise disturbed or at least seemingly so. What else is on the floor? A removed diaper which has evidence of pee in it. On the chair cushion and soaking through her dresses? Pee. Smeared on the inside of her dress? Poop.
How in the world do you potty train a two year old who takes off her own diaper, refuses to sit on the potty, refuses to put her pee or poop in the potty and when asked where her poop and pee goes calmly replies "in my underwears?" How do I stay sane while trying to explain in no uncertain terms that pee and poop do not go in underwear (or on the floor for that matter) and that they need to go in her potty? All of this just reminds me of the fact that you cannot control the uncontrollable, least of all a willful two year old, and that fact is very extremely frustrating!
She won't be pooping on the floor when she's eighteen. Right?

LONDON (CBS.MW) - Pharmaceutical stocks pulled European markets higher Friday and steel stocks rallied, offsetting concerns over the dollar's fresh decline and a lackluster outlook from German insurer and banking giant Allianz.
Pharmaceuticals were on the move as markets mulled a Republican-offered compromise in negotiations over U.S. prescription drug benefits. U.S. drug stocks were higher. See Market Snapshot
Improving economic growth figures also bolstered the European stocks. Eurozone GDP grew 0.4 percent in the third quarter against the second, ahead of the market's expectations. GDP rose 0.3 percent on the year, Eurostat said Friday.
The figures confirm that the main European economies are pulling out a mild recession. French steel Arcelor (005786) and ThyssenKrupp (750000) both surged around 4 percent, as Arcelor said that global steel apparent consumption, excluding China, should grow by 1 percent this year and 3 percent next year.
The German DAX Xetra 30 index (1876534) was last up 0.8 percent at 3,797 and the French CAC 40 index (1804546) rose 1.1 percent at 3,448. In London, the FTSE 100 was posting a moderate gain.
Drug stocks rally
European drug stocks took their cue from gains overnight in U.S. peers. Despite the tough, partisan negotiations, hopes appear to be forming for a resolution on drug benefits as Congress works to act before the recess. It was not clear a deal would be struck.
Congressional Democrats Thursday sharply criticized an emerging House-Senate Medicare compromise crafted largely by Republicans. See full story
"A fully fledged prescription drug benefit has the potential to boost price performance of the pharma sector globally by 5-10 percent and the U.S. sector by up to 10-15 percent," UBS said.
Still "operational fundamentals continue to be poor. We therefore see performance in line with the market in the first half of 2004 at best," the broker concluded.
The DJ European health stocks index was up 2.8 percent. Germany's Schering (717200) rose 4.8 percent. French drugmaker Aventis (013046) AVE surged 5.7 percent in late trade in Paris. Sanofi-Synthelabo (012057) was up 4.4 percent. Novartis NVS was up 3.7 percent in Switzerland.
In London, pharma stocks AstraZeneca AZN, GlaxoSmithKline GSK and Shire (SHP) were each up over 2 percent.
Europe back on growth path, albeit modestly
For the first quarter, the European Commission forecast eurozone growth of from 0.3 percent to 0.7 percent, lifting top end of its forecast of 0.6 percent. The EC maintained a forecast of 0.2-0.6 percent in the last quarter of 2003.
Italy's gross domestic product rose 0.5 percent in the third quarter from the second, and also grew 0.5 percent year-on-year, the statistics agency Istat said Friday.
The updates have bolstered the euro against the dollar - the common currency struck a fresh, three-week high against the greenback overnight.
The euro was last up slightly at $1.1748, and it was 0.4 percent higher on the yen. The euro touched $1.1803 intraday. A stronger euro means European companies are competing against cheaper-priced goods for exports.
Attention is now turning to how sustainable and how strong the renewed growth trend is for Europe. On that note, new car registration figures for October released Friday offered a picture of stabilization. Western Europe new passenger car registrations for October declined 0.3 percent on the year to 1.18 million units, ACEA European automobiles association said.
"This basically flat result seems to point towards a stabilization of the market, in line with most economic indicators," it concluded. Seven out of 15 countries saw gains. Spain, up 8.2 percent on the year, was the best performer among the 5 bigger markets, it said.
Registrations are down 1.3 percent since the start of the year. Japanese automaker brands and BMW (519000) saw gains for the month. VW (766400) brands saw a 5 percent decline in the month. French automaker PSA Peugeot Citroen (012150) were down 6.6 percent. DaimlerChrysler DCX (710000) was down 2.5 percent.
The automakers were the leading decliners on the DAX-30.
Allianz lower
Shares of insurer Allianz AZ (840400) shook off opening weakness and was up 0.1 percent in late Frankfurt trading after the group cautioned it's not expecting to "quite reach" a target of balanced operating result in its banking operations this year." Most of Allianz's banking operations stem from Dresdner Bank. Allianz told reporters it expects operating profit in banking next year.
In banking, it said, saw "significant cost reductions and substantially lower loan loss provisions will return the strategic business lines to profitability," adding that further charges could result from an accelerated reduction of risk assets in its non-strategic portfolio.
Dresdner saw a net loss of 454 million euros in the first nine months of the year. Operating losses in banking have narrowed sharply over the year ago period to 69 million euros by Sept. 30.
Overall, Allianz affirmed an expectation for a "clearly positive result for fiscal 2003" as a gain from sale of the Beiersdorf stake offsets other charges.
"The positive trend in the operating business is expected to continue and to produce further sustainable improvements over the previous year," it said.
Allianz posted a third quarter profit of 372 million euros, its second profitable quarter in a row cost-cutting. The profit was at the low end of analyst expectations. Employees world-wide declined by 4,918 to 176,733 on Sept. from the year-ago period.
Shares in Dutch insurance and banking giant ING ING (30360) eased 0.9 percent. The group said nine month operating net profit rose 11 percent to 3.012 billion euros, as banking operating net profit surged 41.4 percent to 1.202 billion euros, boosted by higher interest income, reduced loan loss provisions and lower expenses.
Insurance operating net profit eased 2.8 percent to 1.81 billion euros, as premium growth in core markets was modest because of efforts to better balance profitability and market share. In the U.S., investment losses in the third quarter were close to zero and the rebounded stock markets also had a favorable effect, leading to a 20 percent profit growth.
For the full year, ING said it sees an operating profit of between 10 and 15 percent, provided financial markets do not deteriorate substantially.
French-based catering group Sodexho Alliance SDX (012122) rose 3.7 percent. The group said fiscal year ending Aug. 31 profits slumped 11.3 percent to 162 million euros, as revenues dropped 7.3 percent to 11.687 billion euros, hit by weakness in the U.S. dollar. EBITA margin was 4.4 percent, versus 4.2 percent in fiscal year 2001-2002, due to its improving improve the profitability of its U.K. unit and by a net improvement in profitability in Continental Europe and North America.
Sodexho said for next year, it sees a 5 percent rise in net income excluding exceptional items, organic revenue growth equal to the 2002-03 fiscal year and an EBITA margin of 4.6 percent
From the brokers, Merrill Lynch Friday cut its rating on Dutch semiconductor equipment maker ASML ASML, +3.38% to neutral from buy, citing valuation, a day after ASML's annual analyst meeting. Shares were down 3 percent in Amsterdam.
The company "allayed fears that the company was standing still while competitors Nikon and Canon caught up," Merrill said. "However, the recent strong share price performance has taken the stock above our price objective." The analyst day "did not lead us to increase our through-the-cycle margin... and growth assumptions."

E-scooters: The Popular Electric Device Confounding Lawyers and Lawmakers Alike
September 10, 2019
Within the past several years, a new business model has rapidly expanded into a billion dollar industry, with potential to expand further—the sharing economy. The North Carolina General Assembly has yet to address how it intends to regulate the sharing economy. The General Assembly could choose to create completely new regulations for the sharing economy, decide to shoehorn the sharing economy into existing regulations, or elect to do a bit of both. As the General Assembly makes its decision, it should keep in mind the Constitutional challenges that new regulations will prompt. This Recent Development evaluates how the General Assembly should address regulating the sharing economy.

Sacked boss Teddy Sheringham goes to Stevenage's next match in disguise
Teddy Sheringham responded to his sacking as Stevenage manager by going to their next game in disguise.
The former England striker's eight-month spell at the helm was ended last Monday after only seven wins from his 33 games in charge.
But rather than avoid Stevenage's next result in the wake of the sacking, Sheringham actually went to Borough's next match with Crawley in order to see how the players reacted.
"I got the sack on the Monday and Stevenage were playing at home and I wanted to see how they reacted to my sacking, so I went to the game on the Saturday incognito," he told The Times.
"I went in disguise, put it that way. I wanted to see what the reaction of the players and supporters would be. I just wanted to get a vibe of how things were.
"I'm still concerned, I don't want to see Stevenage relegated. Was there something I wasn't doing, was something better with me not there?"
Stevenage lost to Crawley but won at Hartlepool on Tuesday night, leaving them 11 points clear of the drop zone.
Sheringham knows that his reputation as a manager is hardly high given his poor record with them, but hopes another club will give him a chance.
"If I can't do it at Stevenage in League Two, who else is going to touch me - that was my initial reaction and my apprehension about taking the job in the first place," he added.
"But it is about learning and growing, and I feel better equipped now. If I get a chance now, I don't have to make those mistakes."

After the Whirlwind
It's hard to explain the intensity of Photokina week. There's the stress of performing, which becomes less of an issue after the first set but still lingers nonetheless. There's the thrill and emotional ride of seeing friends again, people you rarely meet IRL. And then there's always a few photographers you'd never met before, whose work touches you and who suddenly become a part of your life. Bonds forged in a screaming whirlwind.
To my old and new friends—photographers, models, managers, engineers, designers—thank you. To our Fujifilm family that makes all of this possible, thank you.
I'm home now and it's all good.
Héloïse—our youngest—was waiting for me on the porch in her pyjamas when I stepped out of the car. She jumped into my arms as I was making my way to the door. And suddenly we were all there, in our house—together. And suddenly the clamour had subsided
and the ground had settled once again beneath my feet.

Love follows heart, passion to Tulsa with Teach for America
LOVE IN ACTION. Shelby Love '16 is passionate about helping kids grow intellectually and emotionally.
When Shelby was at the Jubilee Conference (a CCO conference that teaches college students how to integrate faith into every part of their lives), she attended a break-out session by Teach for America (TFA) that encouraged her to use her degree to serve others.
TFA corps members commit to teach for two years in low-income communities. At the end of their time, many stay in the classroom; others move into careers in politics, school leadership, nonprofit work, advocacy and more.
An intervention specialist education major, Love was eager to serve, especially in the inner-city. While at Malone, she volunteered with Tiqvah: Hands of Hope, an afterschool program for children in Canton City Schools.
"Above all, Malone's education program has taught me the importance of teaching each child, not a subject," Love said. "Teach for America's goal is to eliminate the education gap in schools."
As Love prepares to make her home in Tulsa, Okla., she says she is ready for this transition and eager to meet her students where they are and help them grow intellectually and emotionally.
"I want to create an atmosphere that makes learning fun," Love said. "I want my students to come to school knowing they are safe, challenged, and in charge of their future."

Room was not as described or like any of there photos on the website.bathroom far to small and door opens straight onto bed.very small room. Television was on top of wardrobe so could not be seen. Cold room . Card for bedroom stopped working. Lift could only fit a suitcase in.Have tried to upload some photos but will not allow.
Great stay at the hotel, very well located, the staff was friendly and helpful. Would recommend!
Lovely property and a big spacious room Would highly recommend
Wonderful area - Rue Cler is so beautifully stereotypical. The hotel was very pleasant, albeit a little tight; but very Parisian. Definitely would stay again.
Stayed here for one night on business. Firstly the elevator is tiny. It will not fit two people with bags. The room was the usual Paris price but very expensive for what you receive. The room was tiny. Acceptable for one person on business but if there is more than person it is far too small. The Bathroom was also tiny but the shower was fine. Unfortunately you can hear every sound from a number of rooms nearby and the noise of people talking, playing music or coming/going to their rooms means that doors are slamming closed all night, making it very difficult to sleep. If you are staying here bring earplugs.The area is good with plenty of bars and restaurants very close by and it is very close to the Metro. Summary, If you are visiting for one night and just one person it is perhaps bearable . If you are a couple visiting for a weekend or longer it is not ideal
