After lull, LoC hots up again: India retaliates to Pak firing at Poonch
India and Pakistan exchanged gunfire across the Kashmir border on Saturday, ending a pause in fighting that has already killed 17 civilians in the two countries in the worst skirmishes in a decade.india Updated: Oct 12, 2014 08:19 IST
India and Pakistan exchanged gunfire across the Kashmir border on Saturday, ending a pause in fighting that has already killed 17 civilians in the two countries in the worst skirmishes in a decade.
Army sources said Pakistan fired at Kerni area in Poonch district along the Line of Control, the first instance of firing after Thursday evening when guns fell silent after nine days of heavy firing and shelling. There were no reports of firing along the 192-km international border (IB).
"Our troops retaliated. Heavy firing is going on," an army official said.

The government abandoned plans to move about 2,000 people in relief camps in Kathua district back to their homes after firing resumed.
More than 10,000 people are staying in relief camps and nearly 30,000 have left their homes along the border since the start of the firing, the worst since the two sides agreed to a ceasefire in 2003.
Analysts say the violence comes at a time when Pakistan's army is taking a more assertive role in the country's politics while India has toughened its stance ahead of assembly elections this month.
Read: Govt warns Pak over ceasefire violations, says Indian armed forces 'fully ready'
India and Pakistan exchange fire on the border sporadically but this year has been particularly volatile as Jammu and Kashmir is due for assembly polls and Pakistan typically ratchets up border tensions every time the state holds elections.
The two sides agreed a ceasefire in 2003 which has frayed over the past two years.

Image above: Let It Shine necklace by Sara Chyan, (matches, acrylic board, resin), Inter-Secting Spaces exhibition during the 2nd Athens Jewelry Week 2017 at the Benaki Museum of Decorative Arts and Crafts (Peiraios annex), May 2017, Athens, Greece. Organization/ Coordination: Anticlastics (Anastasia Kandaraki, Erato Kouloubi and Niki Stylianou).
Hear the accoustic description for our central picture by clicking on the link:
The 2nd Athens Jewelry Week 2017 ignited this year something bigger than just the ambition of a Cosette-type small country to just carry the burdensome backet of the European South, next to its contemporary jewelry almighty simblings, for instance Spain and Italy. There is a tsunami of creative forms of jewelry in the city of Athens, a real host of the craft the last 40 years, pregnant with a fascinating, quiet scene of designers/makers - almost entirely unattended by the state institutions like the Hellenic Chamber of Commerce, the Ministry of Economic Development and Growth, the Ministry of Education and other relevant state organizations and guilds.
The Benaki Museum of Decorative Arts and Crafts in Greece provided, like in numerous cases, the stage and the in-depth knowhow of a complex field like contemporary jewelry, alongside with the organizational and promotional expertise of the skillful Anticlastics team- for the first concrete contemporary jewelry international exhibition in the Greek capital: Inter-Secting Spaces, within the AJW 2017 other parallel events and manifestations. The exhibition showcases 29 designers/artists who also contested for the 2nd AJW Award 2017, renown contemporary jewelry presences in the AJW 2017 Jury list, the video narrative Meta; Morphosis: A Dream Trip Through Jewelry by Kostas Pittas projecting the essence of the portfolios, a project of children's jewelery and jewelry "games" in order for the visitor to comprehend and perceive the art form of an ancient technology and the intense, intellectual procedure of adornment making.
In the photos bellow, from top to bottom: the craking works (neck pieces) of three legendary artists jewelers, also members of the AJW 2017 Award Jury, Lucia Massei, Sofia Björkman and Tanel Veenre. In the last photo the jewelry project of talented 10-year old Raphael Kasteroudis, one of the highlights of the exhibition.
In the core of the exhibition, 29 Greek and international contemporary jewelry designers/makers/artists inter-sected their diverse perspectives with elaborate techniques, imaginative materials and a strong political vision. Aesthetics is politics and wearable items employ a political statement AND a visual impact of high caliber. Beauty is a result of this process but not a sole indicator of the project value and of its gravity- a project that reflects a huge artistic and technical importance, far and away from common curatorial theory and practice. Enjoy in the pictures bellow, from top to bottom, some of the 29-team key presences:
The 29 Exhibitors' List - AJW 2017 Award Winner, Turkish Snem Yildirim with her pendant Seven In a Row - JOYA 2016 Winner Liana Pattihis with the pendant Offerings (Tamata) - Angelos Konstantakatos with Hidden Perspectives brooch - Sol Flores with Plane brooch - Iryna Voitenko with Subtle Truth necklace - Martina Dempf with Palmyra brooch - Isabelle Busnel with Untitled 2 and 3 brooches - Christine Jalio with Past-Loss-Future series (pendant and brooch) - Kätrin Beljaev with Companion 2 and 3 pendants - Yiota Vogli with Keep it Safe pendant and pair of earrings - Georgia Gremouti with brooches from Molecular Corpus Colonies and Germination Phase series - Magali Thibault Gobeil with Candy Baby Doll necklace.
May this new, long awaited amazing initiative continue for many years to come. We are looking forward to AJW 2018 already....Until then, wear it- don't fear it!!!

This weekend, you can expect to see an awesome line-up at The Family-Drive In Theatre in celebration of their 62nd Anniversary! On screen 1, Ocean's 8 and Adrift, following a rare showing of Grease the prior night. On screen 2 you can expect to see two great titles that are sure to please the entire audience: Star Wars' latest installation, Solo, followed by the hugely successful Deadpool 2.
And now, a bit of history…
In 1933, couples parked their cars on the grounds of Park-In Theaters, the first-ever drive-in movie theater, located in NJ. Originally called "Park In Theaters", it was the brainchild of Richard Hollingshead, a movie fan and a sales manager at his father's company. His mother struggled to find a comfortable spot in traditional movie seats, so her son, Richard, came up with the idea of an open-air theater where people watched movies in the comfort of their own automobiles. First, he experimented in the driveway of his parents' home with different projection and sound, mounting a 1928 Kodak projector on the hood of his car, stretching a canvas to some trees, and placing a radio behind the screen for sound. He envisioned the ideal spacing for a certain number of cars so everyone could clearly see the movie being shown.
In May of 1933, he received a patent for the concept in and opened Park-In Theaters, Inc. He advertised it as entertainment for the whole family. The idea caught on, and after Hollingshead's patent was overturned in 1949, drive-in theaters began popping up all over the country.
It was 1956 when William Dalke Jr built his in the midst of an American drive-in building boom. Owning indoor theaters was a family business venture. William Dalke, Sr.(Tim's grandfather), owned 7 theaters including the New Market in Mount Jackson, the Strand in Strasburg and Winchester's Palace Theatre.
Tim, Mr. Dalke's son, doesn't know why he chose to open a drive in. Maybe it was the nostalgia of high school days when young men drove their souped up cars with their favorite girl on a date. Whatever the reason, Tim was an excited nine year old boy when the drive in came to fruition on that deserted piece of country land.Growing up, he and his three brothers would help out at the drive in and enjoyed the not- so-common chores. While their friends were mowing lawns and washing cars, he and his family were making sure the drive in was a fun memory making event.
The economics of running an outdoor theater today are different. Back then, the film rental was a whole lot cheaper. Showing the films could be just as lucrative as the concessions.Drive-in theaters showed mostly B-movies–that is, not Hollywood's finest fare–but some theaters featured the same movies that played in regular theaters. The popularity of the drive-in spiked after WWII and reached its heyday in the late 1950s to mid-60s, with some 5,000 theaters across the country. Drive-ins became an icon of American culture, and a typical weekend destination not just for parents and children but also for teenage couples seeking romantic interlude. Since then, however, the rising price of real estate, especially in suburban areas, combined with the growing numbers of walk-in theaters and the rise of video rentals has curbed the growth of the drive-in industry. Today, fewer than 500 drive-in theaters survive in the United States.
One such surviving drive-in is our very own The Family Drive-In Theatre. Its owner, Jim Kopp, believes that the Family Drive-In experience hasn't changed much after 62 years. Kopp thinks there is a certain charm to having an old fashion way to view movies and he can't be too far off the mark as he had over 131,000 movie patrons visit the drive-in just last year, mainly from the D.C., Maryland and Virginia area, but also from 25 states and seven foreign countries.
Jim, a native of Virginia, spent his teenage years at the Super 29 drive-in on Route 29 between Centreville and Fairfax. The Family Drive-In Theatre defines the hometown feel of the section of U.S. Route 11 that runs through Stephens City, where lots of friendly faces bring back the good old days. Jim Kopp still has the original projection room and screen intact, though he recently went digital with his movies. He has been a patron since 1986. Though he spent a career working for the Library of Congress, drive-in movie theaters are his first love. "I grew up in Pittsburgh, and we used to have 35 drive-in theaters there," he says. "We went to the drive-in every weekend. I always thought it would be fun to own one." Kopp is no novice either when it comes to drive-in theaters. Before he began leasing the Family Drive-In, he owned a theater in Henderson, N.C. with his wife, Megan Kopp, who passed away in July 2013. Jim's home still showcases drive-in memorabilia: signage, programs, toys, jigsaw puzzles, assorted artifacts that he and Megan have collected over the years.
Nine years ago he acquired the two-screen Family Drive-In Theatre. Don't think drive-in movies are some outdated piece of nostalgia. Kopp keeps his theater full. It holds 434 vehicles, and sometimes patrons have to walk-in when there is no parking left. "Eighty-five percent of my audience is families with young children," he notes. He has a playground so kids can enjoy the movies while swinging and slipping down slides. "Drive-in theaters are my passion," he explains. "When I worked for the Library of Congress, I went around and took pictures of drive-ins around the country, and whenever someone had a question about drive-ins, people came to me." Kopp's theater isn't only kid-friendly. It's also dog-friendly, which makes sense given that Kopp is rarely seen without his faithful drive-in dogs, Bubby, a golden retriever and Oliver, a German Shepherd.
This particular weekend, Jim will be sitting in a noisy projection booth at the Family Drive In off of Route 11 in Virginia's northernmost county. Two lumbering projectors throw 3,000-watt beams of light to a 60-by-80-foot screen, where Grease will play for an audience of minivans, pickup trucks and folks in lawn chairs around 8:45 p.m. on a Thursday in June.
If you want to grab tickets for the upcoming movies, click here! Otherwise, keep your eyes on The Family Drive-In's event page and our blogs for updates. We'll be seeing you this weekend at the only local destination where you can view cinema magic beneath the stars, The Family Drive In Theatre!

Roadside memorials
A roadside memorial is a physical token or object that represents the memory of a person or people who died on or near a road.
When touched by tragedy, family and friends may find that a roadside memorial gives comfort and helps with the grieving process. Additionally, a memorial can be a reminder to the community to drive carefully.
These guidelines relate to installing roadside memorials at a safe location beside state-controlled roads, such as highways and other major roads. Contact your local council about roadside memorials on local roads.
The guidelines will ensure your memorial is safe for road users and visitors, and won't need to be modified or removed after installation.
When installing roadside memorials, you need to consider:
- road user safety – memorials must not be a safety risk
- local environment – memorials must not contain materials that pollute or damage the environment
- surrounding community – memorials must consider the local community, such as residents in nearby houses.
Please take care when attending a roadside memorial. Ask family and friends to park their vehicles safely and clear of the road.
Tell us about your memorial
You don't need a permit to install a roadside memorial that complies with these requirements; however, you do need to submit a notification form.
You should also contact your local Department of Transport and Main Roads district office for advice before installing your memorial.
Choosing a roadside memorial
The preferred option for a roadside memorial is a white cross, as it's less likely to distract motorists.
However you may want a different memorial that suits your customs and values. We consider these requests, taking into account safety, amenity and community values.
Generally, we discourage roadside memorials close to residential dwellings where they may concern or upset occupants.
You may record a name and date on the memorial, and attach fresh flowers.
Don't use plastic wrappings or plastic flowers, as mowing may destroy the plastic and damage the environment. Consider native flowers and biodegradable materials.
Other attachments or memorabilia are not permitted, including concrete or non-breakable material.
Contact your local Department of Transport and Main Roads district office if you have questions about memorial types.
Installing and locating a roadside memorial
When installing a roadside memorial, ensure that:
- all road users have a safe environment
- all family, friends and road users are safe while installing and visiting the memorial.
Roadside memorials should be no larger than:
- 750mm high
- 500mm wide
- 400mm deep (below ground level).
The location of a roadside memorial must not interfere with traffic or a road's operation.
Memorials are restricted in some locations. For example, memorials are not allowed:
- on motorways and freeways
- on traffic islands
- on medians
- on roundabouts
- where they may interfere with traffic control devices.
If your chosen location doesn't meet safety requirements, we can suggest other locations that are safe for drivers and visitors.
It is your responsibility to keep the site tidy and prevent it becoming overgrown.
You don't need indemnity or public liability insurance if you install a roadside memorial that complies with these requirements.
Relocating and removing a memorial
At times, we conduct roadworks and maintenance at the location of roadside memorials.
When roadworks occur, we safely and carefully relocate the memorial to conduct the works and then return it to its original position if possible.
We make every effort to contact the responsible person before removing or relocating a memorial (so make sure you complete the notification form and keep your information up to date).
If a memorial blocks roadworks, becomes a road safety hazard or affects the community and local residents, we may ask the responsible person to remove, relocate or modify the memorial.
If we can't contact them, we may remove, relocate or modify the memorial.
If a memorial is damaged while being relocated, we will arrange for a replacement that meets the guidelines.
While we remain as careful as possible while mowing we accept no responsibility for damage to roadside memorials during this activity.

Nature Diary: Whooper swans a-swimming
Ireland hosts up to 20% of species overwintering in Europe between October and April
Whooper swans wintering on the Vartry Lakes in Roundwood, Co Wicklow. Photograph: Cyril Byrne/The Irish Times
The deaths of whooper swans following their collision into electricity wires in Donegal recently have drawn our attention to the fragility of what are often young birds on their first migratory journey from Iceland to overwinter in Ireland.
Whooper swans are very large birds with pure white plumage and long necks. They are similar to the more common mute swans often found in parks and along canals.
However, Niall Hatch of Birdwatch Ireland points out that while mute swans are present in Ireland all year round and can be tame around humans, whopper swans are much shier and tend to avoid people.
Sloping beaks
The distinguishing feature between the two species is that whooper swans have smooth, sloping beaks, which are yellow and black, while mute swans have orange and black beaks with a very prominent black "knob" or bump at the base.
Ireland hosts up to 20 per cent of the population of whooper swans overwintering in Europe between October and April. They can be seen on coastal inlets, river estuaries and lakes, mainly in the northwest.

Portrays the story of a girl who runs away from home and joins the circus. However, the beauty and the lights of the circus aren't what they seem to be and a much darker side emerges. As she falls from grace, she questions the concept of sin, which plagues the other circus performers.
Our past never leaves us as it merges with our soul, forming our experiences. As these shadows haunt us, they change our perception of the truth, creating illusions.
Humans are their own oppressors with their rules, codes of conduct, and judgments on those who do not behave accordingly. However, upon reflection, one can see that the sinners they deem 'monsters' are not those who are being judged, but the judges themselves.
The problem with limelight is that over time it can turn sour. Fame is only everlasting for a select few, and the rest have to relinquish their power to the newer, younger version of themselves. All things in life are cyclical, just like the circus.

What: Beauty Exclusives Event & Pre-Sale
When: July 20th through August 5th in Nordstrom stores across the country (and starting now for pre-order online).
Why: There are two reasons you want to check this out now; one because beauty doesn't go on sale — period — and two because exclusive collections like this sell-out extremely quickly. Not only are most of the items limited edition, but they're also exclusive to Nordstrom so you won't find them anywhere else.
The jumbo versions of Philosophy's best-selling products caught our attention straight off. 'Purity made simple' one step facial cleanser usually runs $32 for a 16 ounce container, but get the deluxe size now at 32 ounces for only $36.50. 'Hope in a jar', one of my absolute favorite winter moisturizers? $45 for 4 ounces when it usually runs $35 for half the product.

Also in cosmetics, the Dior 'Little Luxuries' Jet Setter Kit is an unbelievable deal. You get two mascaras, two lipsticks and an eyeshadow quad for $35. That's like getting five for the price of one.

I've been having bone broth for 6-weeks, here's what I noticed, Plus 3 recipes
Bone broth.
I'm sure you've heard it mentioned countless times. Maybe you've tried it yourself or you're avoiding it all together because you can't bring yourself to simmer soup for 24 hours.
Bone broth for me wasn't something hard to sign up for. In fact, my mom would often make broth growing up and it always soothed my stomach pains. She mastered the flavour that I cannot replicate... must be every mom's secret ingredient: love. *Insert big slice of goat cheese here*.
I've failed many times making my own broth. For some reason, I would always end up with flavourless watered down broth. Not my proudest moment. But hey, you got to fail once in a while to succeed (which I eventually did). Bone broth is made with simple ingredients that you can find at your local grocery store and the trick is to load it up with vegetables and spices. What I enjoy most about it, is that it can be easily incorporated into your meals and kept in the freezer for future use.
If you're looking to take baby steps to making your own, I have an ideal solution for you. While working at a trade show in Surrey, I came across Organika Health, a health brand offering a wide range of supplements and food products. They were sampling their new product, Chicken Bone Broth Protein Powder, so naturally I tried it. It was soothing, warming and comforting. It didn't surpass my mom's broth, but let's face it nothing ever will (but it was a close second). And the best part about it is that it required 2 scoops to be mixed with boiling water. That's it. And with a whooping 15grams of protein per serving, I had to get myself a tub.
Prior to having bone broth on the regular basis upon waking, I was experiencing frequent digestive issues from inconsistent bowel movements to constipation to bloating. If it hasn't occurred to you before, inconsistent bowel movements puts a damper on your day. Wouldn't you agree?
Fast forward 6-weeks later, I noticed I was much more regularly and even better I'd be going twice a day. Too much info? Sorry, but that's what good health is all about. I've also noticed that I haven't gotten sick despite being surrounded by my cold infectious boyfriend for 2 weeks. Bone broth for me is an ideal morning drink because it's comforting and I can change it up by adding a teaspoon of ginger for the extra boost and warmth.
Instead of drinking broth straight up, you may want to try incorporating it into your meals. Below are 3 mouth watering and heart warming recipes. Enjoy!
3 Way to Enjoy Bone Broth
Bone Broth Morning Soup Smoothie
- 2 tablespoons of Organika's Bone Broth
- 1/2 small onion, chopped
- 1 stalk celery, chopped
- 1 medium carrot, chopped
- 2 teaspoons of freshly chopped sage
- 1.5 cup of filtered water
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Preheat oven to 375F. Toss all vegetables in olive oil and place on baking sheet. Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until soft.
- Allow vegetables to cool.
- When you're ready to make your smoothie, place all ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth. You may notice that the more you blend the more frothy it becomes. Allow to sit for a couple of minutes before drinking.
Boned Butternut Squash & Sage Soup - Original Recipe by Organika
- 2 tablespoons Organika's Coconut Oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 stalk celery, chopped
- 1 medium carrot, chopped
- 2 scoops of Organika's Bone Broth in 32 fluid ounces of liquid
- 2 teaspoons of freshly chopped sage
- 2 medium organic / local potatoes, cubed
- 1 medium organic / local butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
1. Melt Organika's coconut oil in a large pot, and cook the onion, celery, carrot, potatoes, sage and squash for 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Pour enough of the Organika Bone Broth liquid to cover vegetables. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover pot, and simmer for 40 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender.
2. Transfer the soup into a blender, and blend until smooth. Return to pot, and mix in any remaining broth to attain desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
The key to good food is to enjoy it. By having good quality, slow food fast like the Bone Broth, we can take the time to be creative in the kitchen and feel better; so we can have fun cooking – and take the time to enjoy the food!
Butternut Squash Risotto - Original recipe by Organika.
- 1 small butternut squash cubed (about 1 1/2 pounds)
- 2 cups Organika Chicken Bone broth
- 1 small onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 large garlic clove, sliced thin
- 1 1/4 teaspoons minced peeled fresh gingerroot
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup Arborio or long-grain rice
- 1/4 cup dry white wine *I used water
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Sage
- Garnish: chopped fresh chives and Parmesan curls shaved with a vegetable peeler from a 1/4-pound piece of Parmesan at room temperature
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- In an oiled shallow baking pan with diced squash and season with salt and pepper. Bake squash in middle of oven, stirring diced squash occasionally, until tender and browned lightly, 15 to 20 minutes.
- In a saucepan bring broth and water to a simmer and keep at a bare simmer.
- In another saucepan cook onion, garlic, sage and gingerroot in butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened.
- Stir in rice and cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. Add water and cook, stirring, until absorbed.
- Stir in 1/4 cup broth and cook, stirring constantly, and keeping at a simmer throughout, until absorbed.
- Continue simmering and adding broth, about 1/4 cup at a time, stirring constantly and letting each addition be absorbed before adding next, until about half of broth has been added.
- Stir in diced and chopped squash and continue simmering and adding broth in same manner until rice is tender and creamy-looking but still al dente, about 18 minutes. Stir in salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon risotto into 2 shallow serving bowls and garnish with chives and Parmesan curl. Enjoy!!
Please note, I have received product from Organika in exchange for a post.. All opinions and statements are my own and are based around my own experience. Two of the 3 recipes are by Organika Health.

Pasha Kovalev bids farewell to Strictly with final dance on The Greatest Dancer
The Russian performed alongside Cheryl during the high-energy routine.
Pasha Kovalev bid farewell to Strictly Come Dancing as he performed on air for the final time alongside his "Strictly family" on The Greatest Dancer.
The Latin and ballroom expert competed in four finals and lifted the glitterball trophy once, with Love Island host Caroline Flack in 2014.
But on Wednesday the Russian announced his departure from the BBC One show, telling fans it was "time for me to find a new challenge".
Aww, what a way to sign off from @bbcstrictly, @PashaKovalev! Dancing with all your #Strictly friends on the #GreatestDancer stage. It was incredible to have you. 🙌🙌 pic.twitter.com/lorYQFB6H5— The Greatest Dancer (@GreatDancerTV) February 16, 2019
In a high-octane routine ending Saturday's penultimate episode of the series, Kovalev danced alongside fellow professionals Dianne Buswell, Neil Jones and Graziano Di Prima.
After the routine, Kovalev was asked by host Jordan Banjo: "Pasha, obviously this was a very special performance for you tonight. Why is that? Let everyone know?"
He replied: "Oh yes, of course. As you might know, 2018 was my last year of Strictly but I am so, so excited to be here and share the stage with my Strictly family for one more time."
And THAT'S how you do a @BBCStrictly and #GreatestDancer crossover! pic.twitter.com/fS5E9I5tvx— The Greatest Dancer (@GreatDancerTV) February 16, 2019
They were joined by The Greatest Dancer's dance captains: Cheryl, Matthew Morrison and Strictly professional Oti Mabuse.
The medley featured songs such as Dance Off by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis featuring Idris Elba and Run Boy Run by Woodkid.
It culminated in a Latin-style solo by Kovalev and Cheryl.
Kovalev will not return for this year's series of the flagship BBC One programme but will appear on the Strictly Come Dancing – The Professionals tour this spring.
We're so sorry to lose you @frobacks and @CollectiveDane - but you've both been amazing and we've been so so proud to have you with us these past weeks. #GreatestDancer pic.twitter.com/BgZESxRoif— The Greatest Dancer (@GreatDancerTV) February 16, 2019
Two acts – Frobacks and the Dane Bates Collective – were booted off the show this week in a double elimination.
Next week each act will dance twice with one of those dances involving their dance captain.
The winner of the show will have the chance to perform on the next series of Strictly.

Will Rawls
Theorizing that one could make festival season last year-round, Will handed in his letter of resignation...and VANISHED!
He woke to find himself having a blast, facing smiling images much like his own and driven by an unknown force to change the world for the better. His only guide on this journey is Parker, a wordsmith of his own kind, who appears in the form of a crazy man…carrying a chicken…grinning ear to ear.
And so Will finds himself leaping from fest to fest, striving to find light in every song and hoping each time that his next fest…will be the best one.
Also, Will takes photographs.

Parker Otwell Roe
I come to the delightful world of music naturally in many ways -- my late father, Parker Otwell Willson, III, made several recordings throughout his career as a singer, dancer, and actor and was possessed of a powerful and beautiful tenor voice. My birth mother had a lovely sopralto. I took the obligatory piano lessons as a boy and performed in a local bell choir, loving whatever music I could participate in and all the while basking in the gifts my older brothers gave me: a love of Pink Floyd, the Dead, Bowie, the Doors, Boston, the Beatles, and the entire host of classic rock legends. Exiled to military school for high school, I was at least able to sing with the chorus for two years, which is where I learned the basics of and gained an affinity for choral singing and choral music (Renaissance polyphony still being some of my very favorite music).
Going to college in Virginia, I found my way into the world of collegiate a cappella which led me to studying with my first voice and music mentor, Dr. Jennifer Cable, whose influence would help shape my musical world view as much as the music of Roger Waters. With my a cappella group, the UR Octaves, I gained all my early recording, mixing, mastering, and producing experience, having the insightful opportunity of working on two albums before graduating in 1998. After four years spent in service as an officer in the Marines, I returned to UR to begin studies pursuant a Bachelor of Music. After two years, I graduated with a degree in Vocal Performance.
My love of traditional Irish music coupled with several summers of study at the University of Limerick led me to professional performance in the genre for about six years. This time period saw my membership in the Irish trad groups The Patched Hats and Sojourn, extensively touring the East Coast and Midwest. I recorded "Steppin' Large and Laughin' Easy" with Andreas Transo (as The Patched Hats) in 2005 and released the album later that summer. After three years in New York City where I briefly owned and operated Taolchemy Records, LLC, a small independent Irish trad record label, and did some freelance journalism, I moved back to my native Colorado for some much-needed reinvention and musical renaissance where I currently reside.
Now working with The Lot Scene, I am flexing my writing chops once again, but this time in the realm of music journalism, specifically in the the jam music universe: festival experience archiving, live music reviews, album thoughts, etc. Coupled with the incredible photography of Will Rawls, I am thrilled at the prospects of where this could go!!!

The American Geographical Society (AGS) is a 21st century learning society dedicated to the advancement of geographic thinking, knowledge, and understanding across business, government, academe, social sectors, and most importantly with teachers and students. Established in 1851, AGS is the oldest professional geographical organization in the United States. It is recognized worldwide as a pioneer in geographical research and education for over 166 years. The mission of AGS is to advance and promote geography in business, government, science, and education. Our goal is to enhance the nation's geographic literacy so as to engender sound public policy, national security, and human well-being worldwide. AGS seeks to engage the American public, from its youngest to its oldest citizens, with new and amazing ways to understand and characterize our changing world. The Society maintains its headquarters in New York City.
Humanity has always had a vested interest in exploration. Since our origins, we have sought to discover, chart, and understand the far corners of the Earth. One of the last corners to be well explored was the North Pole, which drew geographers and navigators to map its icy waters. In 1851, AGS was founded with the intention to lead a mission to find and rescue Arctic explorer Sir John Franklin, who had been missing for several years. In those first years of existence, AGS was meeting in New York University's Geographical and Statistical Library, and was originally known as the American Geographical and Statistical Society.
AGS undertook the search for Sir Franklin under the suspicion that he and his crew were still alive and lost in the Arctic ocean. While the search for Sir Franklin was unsuccessful, AGS continued to assist any worthy endeavor to expand and contribute to the field of geography. In 1851, while that initial expedition was underway, a paper was presented in front of the society detailing the possible routes and implications of creating a railway system spanning the contiguous United States. This was the beginning of the U.S. Transcontinental Railroad, on which AGS worked throughout the latter half of the 19th century. In the 1870s, AGS was contacted to assist in creating a proposed shipping lane running through the continent, which would later become the Panama Canal. Two of AGS's councilors attended a meeting held in Paris in 1879 about the Canal. It was at this time that AGS dropped the words "and Statistical" in its title, and thus became the American Geographical Society.
AGS's contributions to the world of geography only increased in the 20th Century. During World War I, AGS aided the United States government by compiling information to use in the upcoming Paris Peace Conference. Initial meetings featuring U.S. diplomats were held at AGS's headquarters. After the Armistice in 1918, AGS Chairman Isaiah Bowman sailed with President Woodrow Wilson to attend the peace talks. After the conclusion of World War I, AGS completed a project entitled "Hispanic America," which was an attempt to map the entire world at a scale of 1:1,000,000. This process lasted from 1920 through 1945 and resulted in 107 extremely detailed maps being created. During this time, AGS was also indirectly involved in World War II by assisting more than 40 federal agencies with its geographic expertise.
In its current iteration, the AGS is a 21st-century learning society dedicated to the advancement of geographic thinking, knowledge, and understanding. AGS has recently become an integral part of K-12 educational programs designed to teach students about the importance and modern applications of geography. AGS has created curriculums based on its publication FOCUS to be used by geography teachers country-wide. In addition to this, AGS has continued to publish its peer-reviewed journal the Geographical Review, which has been in continuous publication, albeit under several names, since AGS's inception in 1851. As dedicated as AGS is to the history and present of our planet, it is also invested in the future. Since 2014, AGS has organized and hosted the Geography2050 Symposium, which brings together the brightest minds in geography, business, and education from around the world to discuss ways to secure a successful and sustainable future. From its long past into its hopeful future, AGS will continue striven to be a leading figure in a world dominated by geography.

An Obama administration official on Wednesday suggested that members of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's platoon who have criticized him for allegedly deserting his unit might be "psychopaths," the Right Scoop reports.
Brandon Friedman, the deputy assistant secretary of public affairs at the Department of Housing and Urban Development, floated the possibility that Bergdahl's squadmates are "smear[ing] him publicly" because he "grew disillusioned with what he saw, didn't trust his leadership, and walked off."
Recent Stories in National Security
"What if his platoon was long on psychopaths and short on leadership?" Friedman asked in the first of five tweets on the issue on Wednesday evening.

Reports: LA Galaxy signs Manchester United's Ibrahimovic
Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has signed a contract with the LA Galaxy of MLS, according to reports Thursday.
The two-year, $3 million contract is expected to be announced this week, ESPN reported.
Ibrahimovic, who arrived in England from Paris Saint-Germain in 2016, is returning from a major knee injury.
The 36-year-old last played for Manchester United the day after Christmas and recently resumed full training. He scored 29 goals in 53 appearances for United.
With prospects for keeping Ibrahimovic beyond the current season dim and Belgian star Romelu Lukaku just one season into a five-year contract, United manager Jose Mourinho signed off on the decision to let Ibrahimovic leave.

Skin Care guide to battle winters
Winter is coming. As your skin has to battle dryness, dullness and other things that ruin your beauty, you should take care and nourish your skin to stay safe from such disasters.
Here are some of the techniques that you could use in winters:
Reduce your shower time – If you shower for more than 15 minutes, your skin will lose its moisture and will leave your skin dehydrated.
Moisturizer – As we all know that winter steals the moisture from your face, so in order to keep your skin soft and supple, you must use good quality moisturizer. Use a product that suits your skin type. Don't just purchase big brands.
Cleansing oil – Oil is an essential part which doesn't let your skin to become dry and dull. You must use non-comedogenic products that won't block the skin pores.
Essential vitamins – Vitamin C nourish your skin and rejuvenate the skin cell which is why your food menu must have ingredients that are rich in vitamins. Also, drink lots of water. As water removes harmful toxins from the body and boosts body metabolism, you should care about this.
Night Time Care – Before snuggling back into the bed, you must put on some cream as a protective layer.

Philippovich von Philippsberg, Eugen (1858–1917)
A Viennese by birth, Philippovich began his academic career as a Lecturer (Privatdozent) in Vienna (1884), after studies in economics in Graz, Vienna and Berlin. He obtained a chair in Freiburg (Breisgau) and returned to Vienna (1893), where he worked until his death. Deeply interested in the economic problems of his time and passionately engaged in social reforms, he took an active part in Austrian and German political life. As a member of the upper house of parliament and the leading spirit of the 'Austrian Fabians', Philippovich had a significant influence on social legislation in Austria. Like the German academic socialists (Kathedersozialisten) Schmoller and Wagner, members of the Verein für Socialpolitik (of a New Deal type) with whom he cooperated closely, he was a regulationist of the market process, who attributed to the state a moral and economic competence which seems to be wishful thinking rather than based on reason and experience. He strongly believed that a 'middle course' between socialism and a competitive economy would help to ease economic and social tensions which were largely caused by overpopulation along with the overcrowded labour market during Germany's transition from an agrarian into an industrial nation. On the other hand he realized better than most of the German reformers that a sound analytical foundation was necessary for any policy of reasonable reforms.

AWP Conference 2018 Free Webinar: An Update of the COAA Scalability Project/
The original COAA WorkFace Planning model and the subsequent COAA-CII joint AWP model were designed for performance improvements on megaprojects. With an industry need for a model that can provide similar benefits to projects of varying type and smaller scope, the Construction Owners Association of Alberta (COAA) Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) Scalability Committee has undertaken a project to develop a model for the application of AWP to wider variety of projects, focusing on projects valued at $100M and under. The goal is to help improve smaller projects' outcomes with the application of AWP principles, modified to address project size, complexity and familiarity.
The COAA AWP Scalability Committee will report out at the AWP Conference 2018. This update provides some interesting information about the progress and goals of the project working groups so far, including a preview of the tools and documents in development.

This collection of modular lights blurs the lines between art and design
In 1974, iconic Italian designer Achille Castiglioni famously proclaimed, "I want to copy the sun", thus giving design some of its most illuminated ideas. But in 2018, designer Michael Anastassiades didn't need to have such lofty ambitions. For his latest showcase, the aim was to break free from fast consumption and create a product that wasn't just Insta-worthy. "Today everything is about getting the most number of likes," he says, referring to the smartphone-toting design enthusiasts that take over Milan during Salone del Mobile. "It's sad but we have lost our relationship with products," adds the Cypriot-born, London-based designer.
So with 'Arrangements', a collection of modular lights he has designed for Italian brand Flos, interaction is key. It invites consumers to create their own chandeliers out of interlocking LED tubes, that can be arranged with varied shapes in numerous combinations, making it more than just a light fixture. This DIY aspect makes it unique—it brings to lighting the concept of modularity, once reserved only for furniture.
A sculptural piece that blurs the lines between art and design, the springboard for 'Arrangements' was jewellery—the lights are fashioned to resemble a dazzling chain. "I've always been fascinated with the parallels between lighting and jewellery—one is designed to decorate the body whereas the other decorates the space you live in," he says, adding that the word 'pendant' is used for both, jewellery and lights.
The dynamic lights are also a sustainable solution for an audience that is easily bored. "I look for qualities that you can appreciate with time," says Anastassiades, who launches a prototype of a drinking fountain at London Design Festival next month, aimed to revive fountain culture in public spaces.

Is It Too Early to Call the Election for Hillary Clinton?
While we're at it, let's just pick her foreign policy team of advisers…
With Hillary Clinton up in the polls, The E.R. puts on its prognostication pants. David Rothkopf, Julia Ioffe, Kori Schake, and Ben Pauker play a bit of Beltway name-game, offering some thoughts on who might run foreign policy in a Clinton administration. D.C. heavyweights like Jake Sullivan, Ann-Marie Slaughter, Michele Flournoy, and Kurt Campbell are being floated as top cabinet officials, but could John Kerry stick it out for a couple more years as secretary of state? And what the heck would First Gentleman Bill Clinton do?
The conversation then switches to whether a Clinton foreign policy would differ markedly from that of the Obama administration. If it's a more traditional, more hawkish stance than we've seen these past eight years, could some #NeverTrump Republicans even come on board?
Finally, the panel briefly discusses the moribund Israel/Palestine peace process. Are we seeing major policy and attitude changes toward Israel within both the Democratic and Republican communities that might hint at future action?
Kori Schake is a research fellow at the Hoover Institution, where she focuses on military history, and a former foreign-policy advisor to Sen. John McCain. Follow her on Twitter at: @KoriSchake.

text: Share: Comments Print February 3, 2007 at 1:09 PM Romar: We didn't compete Posted by Bob Condotta The post-game interviews are over following what was the second-worst loss of the Lorenzo Romar era. And the coach had a simple explanation for Arizona's 84-54 win here Saturday —"Our inability to compete at our highest level." Romar said several times the Huskies simply failed to play as hard as the Wildcats. "I thought we would compete much harder," he said. Romar cited Artem Wallace, who scored a career-high 12 and led the Huskies, as the one player who really did play hard. As for why the team would come out that way in a game of this magnitude, Romar said "I don't know." Comments

Ok so we'll all been there, one too many gin & tonics, jaeger bombs or vinos – or all together sometimes in my case and you wake up the next day trying to piece together just what exactly happened the night before, with a raging headache and muttering those sweet naive words "I'm never drinking again".
Now, when I was a meat eater my go-to hangover cure would be to eat lots of greasy food and then pass out into a food coma. This greasy food would often consist of a quick Mcdonald's run before the golden breakfast hour finished or ordering a mouthwatering dominos to ale my woes.
Becoming vegan however, this vast array of hangover cure food suddenly grew a lot smaller, and I mean a lot. But have no fear, from my trial and error of multiple hangovers whilst being newly vegan I've come up with a few remedies. Now they may not be as glamorous or as easy to order with one click of a fast food order app but they certainly do the trick.
Carbs, Carbs and more carbs, it may not be the healthiest or balanced of diets, but it definitely helps me feel more human after a heavy session.
This article contains affiliate links, which means I make a small commission if you decide to purchase via that link. The price is not increased to include my commission, and I only include products that I use and love myself.
The Vegan Full English Breakfast
Hash Browns, vegan Sausages (I love Linda McCartney's Vegan range), Baked Beans, Grilled Tomato, and fried mushrooms.
Hummus and Pitta
My favourite carb snack when I'm craving something stodgy, try a different Hummus like red pepper, caramelised onion or lemon and coriander, and pair it with some wholemeal pitta.
A big bowl of steaming hot pasta, theres so many different ways to shake up boring ol' pasta, a creamy carbonara, garlic and tomato, lemony broccoli (check out my Pinterest vegan dinner board for lots of inspo) a lot of the recipes are so easy to make too!
It may seem like a little bit of effort but it can really hit the spot when you just want some simple filling hot food, my favourite is pea and mint risotto – I almost always have a bag of peas in the freezer, rice and veggie stock in the cupboard.
Vegan pizza, fries and onion rings
Ok so dominos hasn't quite got up to speed in the uk with their vegan pizza options but you can find vegan pizzas in lots of supermarkets now. I have however recently been converted to Papa Johns! They have a whole vegan section on their website, and you'll find on offer, Vegan Sheese® & Tomato Pizza, and Vegan Sheese® & Marmite® Scrolls, which are amazing!!
Any kind of snacks in particular salty and sweet – I like to alternate between the two until I can't eat anymore. Some of my favourites include, Lentil Chips, Propercorn and Hippeas organic chickpea puffs.
If you're newly vegan I can assure you there are plenty of options to ale your hangover. Go checkout your local supermarkets, try visiting ones you wouldn't normally shop in. A lot of stores have quite different ranges and there are plenty of vegan options out there, once you can track them down.
What are your signature hangover vegan dishes that get you through the day? Please share them in the comments section below.

Although WordPress being the most popular open source platform for ecommerce improvement but, it will probably decelerate at instances. It has an unbelievable array of dazzling movies concerning the newest expertise together with varied purposes, software, design, and many others. While CES is often all concerning the future, this year's present additionally included a number of gadgets that gave a nod to the tech of the past. From an investor's perspective again, it units sensible expectations when you are investing in expertise companies, of their potential to create value over time. And not solely that: You want to have a look at the expertise ecosystems for both the brand new technology and the old know-how. The enterprise and tradition related to new expertise is discussed in detail on this website.
Where I'm going with this mission is to have a mannequin and an strategy that helps us to enhance know-how forecasting. We tried to find a context the place we could observe enough variation in terms of how fast or slow these technology adoption patterns had been — however one which helped us to manage for lots of confounding effects, as nicely. I had some experience within the semiconductor business, and we came across semiconductor lithography as a technology that will permit us to review this question.
Another challenge that I suppose managers and buyers want to consider: A know-how is seldom a single artifact, or a single technological component. Its reviews on new devices like cellular, house theatres, tablets, laptops and gaming devices are equally enlightening. They will generate extra shareholder worth, or destroy less shareholder worth, by specializing in the existing applied sciences, reasonably than going all out and pushing for the brand new technology.
Finding the correct technology to facilitate employee growth best practices takes careful evaluation of capabilities and wishes. Once know-how has been integrated into your curriculum, and fewer energy is being invested in recitation, attention might be positioned on other dimensions of learning. However, I am looking to lower down all my fitness devices and have an multi function if potential.
Similarly, there may be an adoption S-curve, which is that throughout the early state of a know-how, the customers who're going to be going after it aren't the ones who really care about the complete value — they identical to the brand new expertise. It additionally function information content material related to cloud technology , working programs like android, apple ios, and devices. I bought mine for Christmas 2015 and wore it for sooner or later and it fell off after I was walking within the city.

News, apple, design, iPad, iphone, iPod, Jonathan Ive — December 31, 2011 12:13 — 1 Comment
Apple design guru Jonathan Ive awarded a knighthood
He becomes a 'Sir' in Queen's New Year's honours list in recognition of his contribution to the Cupertino company's phenomenal global success
Some would say Jonathan Ive deserved a knighthood simply for putting up with the irascible Steve Jobs for almost 20 years, but Apple's head of design and senior vice president has been awarded the top gong for his outstanding work on the firm's computers and tablets including the Macbook, iPod, iPhone and iPad.
So arise 'Sir Jonathan', or to his friends 'Sir Jony', a Knight Commander of the British Empire (KBE).
How would Jobs have reacted to the news? Ive was one of the few at Apple left to rule his own kingdom with little interference from Jobs, chiefly because he is good at his job and that is all that mattered to Jobs. "Sir", indeed.
Ive described the honour as "absolutely thrilling" and said he was "both humbled and sincerely grateful".
The 44-
On graduation Ive started work as a commercial designer and then, with three friends, founded a design agency called Tangerine. One of the agency's early clients was Apple, which was so impressed with the work he did on a prototype notebook that it offered him a
His early years at Apple were not particularly happy as the company was then suffering a decline. Everything changed, however, in 1995 when Jobs returned to the company he helped found.
"What's made him so outstandingly successful is the relationship he's had with Steve Jobs and Apple," Deyan Sudjic, director of The Design Museum in London, told the BBC. "He's been working there for 19 years and has built up the kind of relationship that's very rare."
Jobs described Ive as his "spiritual partner" in the recent biography of the Apple
Ive's eye for design and Jobs's legendary attention to detail have turned Apple into the biggest and most influential technology company on the planet.
The knighthood is the second time Ive has been recognised in the honour's list. In 2005 he was made a Commander of the British Empire (CBE).

IA Clarington Canadian Dividend Fund
Manager commentary - December 31, 2018
Despite an exceptional rise in U.S. business profits, the U.S. Federal Reserve's decision to continue normalizing its monetary policy, the escalation of U.S.‐China trade tensions and fear of a recession created a highly volatile environment on Wall Street and for risk assets across the world. This resulted in the S&P 500 Index recording a drop of nearly 15% in the last quarter of 2018, its worst quarterly performance in a decade. The final month of the year was particularly painful, with a drop of 9% – the worst December since the 1930s.
In Canada, oil price weakness during the quarter likely contributed to the slowdown. The price per barrel for West Texas Intermediate fell from $75 to $45 in the beginning of October, while Western Canadian Select slid to around $13 in mid-November. The reason for this major price difference was the difficulty in transporting heavy Canadian crude to export destinations (mainly the U.S.), leading to a stockpile in Alberta.
The fourth quarter was marked by high volatility across all stock markets. The U.S. stock market, represented by the S&P 500 Index, had a total return of -13.5% in the fourth quarter (-8.6% in Canadian dollar terms). The Canadian stock market, represented by the S&P/TSX Composite Index, suffered a decline of 10.1%. The S&P/TSX 60, comprised of 60 large companies listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, returned -8.9% over the quarter.
The S&P/TSX 60 had a very difficult quarter. Four of 10 sectors posted a positive return, with utilities finishing first. The other six sectors finished the quarter significantly down, between -7.6% (consumer discretionary) and -23.9% (health care). The three largest sectors (financials, energy and industrials), representing close to 70% of the index, were part of the latter group.
Over the period, the Fund had its largest overweight in utilities and financials and most important underweight in materials and energy.
In a very difficult environment worldwide for stock markets, the absolute performance (total return) of the fund over the quarter was down significantly. The two largest sector positions in the portfolio, financials and energy, were among the five-worst sectors over the quarter. A flattening yield curve, a Canadian housing slowdown and economic growth fears caused the decline in the financials sector, while lower prices weighed on the energy sector. The weighting in the financials sector alone explains half of the total return of the Fund.
In terms of relative performance against the benchmark, an underweight to the energy sector and an overweight to utilities contributed to the Fund's performance. Security selection also contributed to performance, particularly in the energy, industrials, health care and consumer discretionary sectors.
Stock selection in energy was the strongest contributor to performance, as the Fund's return of -9.9% in that sector significantly outperformed the benchmark, which returned -15.2%. The stocks that contributed to performance were Cameco Corp. and Enbridge Inc.
The Fund's consumer discretionary holdings beat the benchmark return by a wide margin thanks to the performance of Gildan Activewear Inc.
The most important detractors from performance were an underweight to materials and security selection in utilities, information technology, materials and consumer staples.
In utilities, great performance from Emera Inc. and Fortis Inc. was not enough to overcome the performance of other holdings of the portfolio in that sector, notably Brookfield Renewable LP. Methanex Corp. and Nutrien Ltd. had a very difficult quarter, which explains why stock selection in materials was one of the most important detractors from the Fund's relative performance.
The Fund currently holds close to 4% cash. The fund manager will look to deploy most of this cash in the coming months. There is still much uncertainty and volatility in the market, and the fund manager would like to see some of this reduced before deploying cash. There are many names where the fund manager sees good long-term value, which has not been the case for some time.
The daily volatility we have seen recently is something of a concern. A 2019 recession is getting priced into market. If that happens, the fund manager thinks there would be further downside. The fund manager will be patiently watching and waiting, prepared to step in should things get overdone relative to the probable macroeconomic outcomes.
