September was a stressful month for a lot of anticipating WSA First Years as the over-subscribed spaces in Erasmus Park were filling up, leaving a vast percentage of students from all courses left in the dark about where they were going to live. These students were later to move into the halls in Southampton with a year of commuting ahead of them.
Now we are half way through our first year, I asked fellow Graphic Arts Student, Nancy Luong about her experiences living in Southampton:
Access and Travel: Supplied with a small allowance by the university, most WSA students in Southampton have to take a bus and a train to get to Winchester, how they get up that early in the morning I have no idea. Even something as small as popping into the studios to pick up is so much easier (and cheaper) for the Erasmus students.
Creative Community: Living in Erasmus, there is the advantage of living in a creative environment and having a lot of fun with familiar faces. The Students in Southampton halls also have a small art community as they have been put together in an 'Art Block' which has made it easier for them to make friends on their courses.
Night life: Obviously, Southampton wins hands down for nightlife. For starters they have a bar in their halls! But let's face it, Erasmus parties and drama in Pitcher & Piano are priceless. No doubt that their Fresher's trumped ours though.
"The social life is great here. Great for the first year when you want to spend most of your time going out!"
Living in the City: Winchester is a great place for inspiration and there's always something going on in town. Southampton is huge and the shopping there is amazing. As an artist it is great for discovering new things:
"I remember wondering around Southampton for the Photography project and then finding myself in the old part of the city, that was quite nice!"
There are many benefits of living in such a big and modern city as an artist, so much so that a few WSA students are looking for housing in Southampton! Personally, I love rolling out of bed 15 minutes before I have to be in the Studio!

Benefits of volunteering at Banbury Museum
What is involved?
The current volunteering role available is that of Exhibition Interpreter. Other opportunities may be possible in future.
Volunteer Exhibition Interpreters welcome visitors to the special exhibitions, enhance their visit and helping with orientation and enquiries, where possible drawing out some of the exhibition's inspiring stories, while also ensuring that visitors aren't harmed by exhibits and vice versa. During ticketed exhibitions (i.e. most exhibitions) the role includes a smooth process of checking tickets purchased from the museum shop. Our volunteers are ambassadors for Banbury Museum, shaping visitors' memories of their visit here and hence promoting repeat visits and 'word of mouth' recommendation of the museum to family, friends and colleagues.
Most volunteers offer one regular morning or afternoon session each week, though additional sessions are welcome. Some of our volunteers prefer to help by 'filling gaps' especially during school holiday periods. Both arrangements are very welcome.
Any previous skills or experience required?
Our volunteers aren't expected to bring knowledge of the exhibition topics or Banbury's history, but the current role very much suits a 'people person,' comfortable with making conversation. Interest in the area's history or topics covered by some of the exhibitions would be a bonus.
Please note that volunteers here must be over 18 and staff and volunteers at the museum aren't able to enter the museum's 'Ironstone Art Prize' competition.
What next if I may be interested in volunteering at the museum?
Please have a look at the role description below and if you would like to explore the idea further please complete a streamlined form and drop this in to the museum marked for the attention of Dale Johnston, or email the form to firstname.lastname@example.com
We will then set up a time that suits you to have an informal chat over a complimentary cuppa at the museum's café.
If you aren't sure about completing the form, you are welcome to email any queries to firstname.lastname@example.com and he will contact you.

As parents, many New York residents likely worry about their children and how they will respond to certain life events. When one of those events is their parents' divorce, concerns may escalate as the ending of a marriage can have substantial impacts on kids. In order to make the transition into new child custody arrangements as smooth as possible, parents may want to ensure that they put their kids first.
By maintaining a supportive and open attitude toward their kids, parents may be able to more effectively help them through the difficult time. As kids get used to seeing each parent less often than before, keeping up with a regular schedule could allow them to adjust more quickly. Rather than wondering when they will spend time with which parent, a schedule can ensure that they know when each parent will be around.
Additionally, parents may wish to come up with a parenting plan to coincide with their custody agreements. This plan could detail how each parent should handle certain responsibilities, such as pick-ups and drop-offs and attending extracurricular activities. Furthermore, having a plan in place could help parents honor the time set aside for each other to spend with the kids.
Even in the best of times, parenting can prove immensely difficult. Divorce and child custody arrangements can add a new variant that parents need to learn how to handle. In many cases, New York parents can work together to create custody arrangements and plans that work best for everyone involved. Gaining information on custody options from experienced attorneys may help interested parties determine their best methods for planning.

All my life, I've tried to understand the appeal of football. The team spirit, the tailgating, the way strangers could have complex conversations about who's coaching what team, and so on.
But this afternoon, I had an epiphany. Allow me to backtrack just a bit. A couple of weeks ago, someone emailed me about classes. She was relatively new to Cincinnati, and so I replied to her message with a hotlist of area belly dance classes that may fit her schedule/location. The email conversation turned to poi spinning, and before I knew it, she was interested in taking private lessons from me in this art (for those who don't know, tribal belly dance seems to be a gateway drug to poi spinning).
We arranged to meet at a school this very afternoon. Not knowing what to expect, I practiced with my poi in the parking lot, enjoying this gift of the rare perfect weather in Cincinnati. She pulled up and got out
of her vehicle, and I knew. I got it – the whole football bonding thing. Here, she had traveled from the west coast and was missing her tribal sisters. But once we started talking, I realized that she had come home. We're so lucky in Cincinnati to have such a supportive and creative community of beautiful artists, dancers, musicians. I'm grateful every day.
And I can only imagine that it's the same way for sports fans, yes? They share the commonality of rooting for the same team; we tribal dancers share the commonality of…whoa…hard to find a single word to explain it…love of pure movement, of improvisational and speechless communication that allows us to be free? If there's a single word for it, let me know! 😉 But I think you probably know what I mean.
Anyway, I made a new friend today. I think our whole community probably did, too. Thanks for taking the time to read my rant, and share your thoughts if you like…

I was one of thousands who supported the ADA and who caused its passage, and you see many of them before you at this table here. I congratulate Professor William Levantrosser and all who have contributed to this historic conference. What an honor it is to be here today with Dean Jim Johnson and with hall-of-fame contributors to the rights of people with disabilities, like Frank Bowe, Paul Hearne, Boyden Gray, Joe Shapiro, and Lucy Wong.
Ed Berkowitz has made an excellent presentation. I know my colleagues on the panel will respond to it in detail. I will focus my remarks on the issues of empowerment, the ADA, and the involvement of President Bush in our struggle.
I passionately believe that the most important issue for people with disabilities—the most important issue for humanity now—is empowerment. I passionately believe that we who have disabilities, we who do not have disabilities, will never achieve our full potential until we empower ourselves and communicate the concept and the process of empowerment into the consciousness and action of society. I propose that we of the disability community lead a revolution of empowerment, a revolution that will empower every twenty-first-century human to live his or her God-given potential for self-determination, productivity, and quality of life. I propose a new vision of government, a government whose task is not to govern people and to provide the good life for them, but to empower people to govern their own lives and communities, and to produce the good lives for themselves and for all. The golden age of science and democracy cannot be achieved in any other way.
The revolution of empowerment has already begun in a very real but incomplete and unfocused way. Nineteenth- and twentieth-century America empowered wave after wave of oppressed people to participate equally in the free-enterprise system. The result was the richest, most-democratic culture in history. But too many people are left out. All people are limited by the massive residue of paternalistic attitudes, bureaucracy, and regulation that still exist in government and in the private sector.
The disability rights movement has pioneered empowerment. We have initiated numerous empowerment laws and programs: Independent Living, 504, the IDEA, supported employment, deinstitutionalization, home- and community-based services, and the magnificent ADA. Now we must pull all this together to communicate a focused philosophy and process of empowerment that all can understand and support.
President Bush made an historic contribution to an empowerment society when he supported and signed the world's first comprehensive civil rights law for people with disabilities, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. The ADA is a landmark in the evolution of human beings. After an eternity of outcast status, poverty, and early death, people with disabilities are declared full members of the human race. ADA opens the doors of opportunity for millions of isolated, dependent

The one below is most apropos the holiday season. It's a none-too-subtle attempt to get viewers to take a pass on foods borne of animal abuse during this "good will to men" time of year ... and all year (New Year's resolution, anyone?). The great Albert Schweitzer - a deeply spiritual Christian whose Christmas celebrations likely were vegetarian or very close to it - famously said:
"Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man will not himself find peace." (Pardon the sexist language. This is an old quote.)
Extending our circle of compassion to animals who are so much like us and who are barely distinguishable from our companion animals is what this video is about.

Since the national economy has shown undesirable results in the monthly rate of inflation, it is imperative that the government urgently enact measures to stave off the withering economy. Otherwise, the Brazilian economy will not be able to recover its purchasing power, which helps feed new investments back into the market. Flavio Maluf, CEO of Eucatex, is particularly concerned about the current situation of the Brazilian economy.
Maluf explains that the current economic conditions are very troubling, and made even more serious by several months of political uncertainty. The strong measures that the government needs in order to turn the economy around are non-existent. Flavio Maluf believes that if the recent political turmoil with the government's lack of credibility continues, the economic perils of inflation will erase any purchasing power that the average Brazilian had. Drastic measures need to be taken in order to stem the rise in inflation.
Eucatex is fortunate enough to offer a very diverse family of products for several industries, which gives it an additional measure of certainty in an uncertain economy, and Eucatex has a good perspective on its industry sectors. Flavio Maluf has been the CEO of Eucatex since 2005. Production costs end up passed on; currency fluctuation and rising inflation further erode an already-limited purchasing power that the average Brazilian has. Flavio Maluf knows that the production sector of the country needs the government to adopt measures which will meet the challenge of the current economy and restore Brazil's image in the international market, as well as restore the purchasing power of Brazil's citizens. Flavio is also known for his stance on taxes, as well as talking about the future of Brazil's young entrepreneurs.

At the beginning of 2017, Claudia White spent three months in the capital city of Tamale, Ghana, volunteering with the charity Create Change in partnership with the International Citizen Service. Claudia worked to further their mission of championing education for women and girls in Ghana. Claudia was supported in her volunteer work by a £300 Individual Grant for Volunteering from the Jack Petchey Foundation.
Claudia worked as part of a team of seven other Ghanaian and British volunteers. Over the three-month placement, Claudia and her team worked with the interns at Create Change to help expand resources for the Girl's Clubs that they lead in various communities and schools. Their team gave guidance on how to improve the project and also led peer education sessions with them on topics such as public speaking and internet skills, to further their knowledge and make the charity more sustainable.
As well as working alongside the charity, Claudia also helped them to administer some of the Girl's Clubs and community sensitisations in which she spoke to the community about girl's education and distributed questionnaires to assess the impact of the Create Change's. In order to promote their work, Claudia and her team built a relationship with a local radio station and secured a weekly slot to talk about the various aspects of female education. They also established relationships with new schools and lead a session for junior and senior high school students. Claudia and her team also celebrated International Women's Day by organising a panel of inspirational women to talk about their experiences, an interactive 'pledge wall' and drama performances.
Claudia felt that her team were successful in pushing Create Change further towards their goal of total sustainability- a charity run for girls, by girls. They also made an impact in the communities and schools that they visited, changing local views about girl's education and giving girls the confidence to speak out about their desire to stay in school.
Claudia felt that she learnt a lot from her time in Ghana saying, "The experience gave me a greater understanding of international development and a wide range of skills to use in both my personal and professional life. For example, there were some occasions when things didn't go to plan and we had to think quickly to come up with a solution that meant doing what's best for the charity whilst not ruining their reputation in the community. I also gained more confidence and got to meet some incredible people."

What makes this movie so great (much like "Spaced") is that it's so clear that they're well and truly fanboys, just like the audience. It's brilliant. I even love their ridiculously kitschy rented camper, complete with shag carpeting and little lampshades on the interior lights.
I was really nervous about Seth Rogan as the title character... but he managed to add an endearing charm to the movie that I really wasn't expecting. Probably in part because he's a CGI alien who manages to be far more adorable than he has any right to be when tossing f-bombs around. Paul edges up to the line of schmaltz, but manages to avoid crossing it just in time to keep the audience.
Then there's Jason Bateman, who is completely amazing as always. And yes, his twist at the end totally surprised me, whether because I was distracted by the triple-play awesome of Pegg, Frost, and Rogan or I'm just not too bright sometimes. Or maybe because Bateman pulls off the cold asshole so well that you never for a moment think he could actually be a good guy.
Sigourney Weaver as a badass in a ballgown. 'Nuff said.
I was a bit worried that Paul wouldn't be a proper Pegg-Frost-Wright flick, since it's actually a Pegg-Frost flick directed by Greg Mottola (of Superbad and Adventureland fame... two movies I have to admit I haven't seen). And it does have a distinctly different feel that could probably be summed up by describing it as an Americanized bit of Pegg-Frost-Wright-ery. However, I wouldn't say that's a bad thing... although there were moments I missed the Britishness of the Wright element, I thought it was fun to see the uniquely Britsh sensibilities brought to the movie in the writing (penned by Pegg and Frost, naturally) placed against the quintessential American West backdrop, surrounded by American actors and helmed by an American director. The two cultures, rather than clashing, melded beautifully... and the movie's humor did not suffer a bit for it.

The Music Man (song)
This article needs additional citations for verification. (October 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
"The Music Man" (Roud 17774) is a popular cumulative folksong among children, rugby players, and Hash House Harriers.
Peter Kennedy published a song called "The German Musicianer" in "Folk Songs of Britain and Northern Ireland" (1975). It has some similarities with this song. Even earlier, "The Wonderful Musician", written by Walter Greenaway, was published in 1871. The chorus begins: "A big drum, a kettle drum, the fiddle, flute, and piccolo, piano, harp, harmonium and many more beside". The song is also known in Germany as "Ich bin ein Musikante" and adapted in the US to "I Am a Fine Musician."
For each verse the participants act out different instruments with specific actions. Some of the actions for the adult version can be rude or crude. They may also attempt to imitate the sound of each instrument. It is sometimes performed in cabaret with the audience challenging the artistes to ever more extravagant - and difficult - renditions of, for example, the flugelhorn.
Commercial recordings[edit]
The song was recorded by Black Lace, a British pop group from Ossett in West Yorkshire, in 1990 and reached #52 in the UK singles charts.
Song structure and lyrics[edit]
Each verse begins with the following chorus lines, divided between the lead singer ("The Music Man") and the audience. The lyric below is from the version performed by Black Lace. There are variations which follow roughly the same tune:
- The Music Man: "I am the music man, And I come from far away[1] and I can play!"
- Audience: "What can you play?"
Each verse features a specific instrument with accompanying actions. After each verse, singers sing the previous verses in reverse order before singing the main chorus lines again. The song proceeds thus:
- Chorus
- Singer: Everybody clap your hands in the air and follow the Music Man!
- Singer:I am the music man, I come from down your way, and I can play!
- Audience: What can you play?
- Piano
- The Music Man: "I play the piano!"
- Sing "Pia-pia-pia-no, pia-no, pia-no; pia-pia-pia-no, pia-pia-no" to the tune
- Actions: act out playing chords on a piano
- Follow with chorus
- Trombone
- The Music Man: "I play the trombone!"
- Sing "oomp-pa-oomp-pa-ooomp-pa-paaaa, oomp-pa-paaaa, oomp-pa-paaa; oomp-pa-oomp-pa-oomp-pa-paaaa, oomp-pa-oomp-pa-pa" to the tune
- Actions: mime playing trombone
- Follow with Piano and chorus
- Bagpipes
- The Music Man: "I play the bagpipes!"
- Sing "Scotland the Brave"
- Actions: mime playing bagpipes/ Scottish jig
- Follow with Trombone, Piano, and chorus
- Call and response section
- The Music Man: "Whoawhooaa!"
- Audience: "Whoawhooaa!"
- The Music Man: "Yeeaah-yeah-yeah-yeah"
- Audience: "Yeeaah-yeah-yeah-yeah"
- The Music Man: "Oggy oggy oggy!"
- Audience: "Oi oi oi!"
- The Music Man: "Oggy oggy oggy!"
- Audience: "Oi oi oi!"
- Football section
- Sing theme from Match of the Day
- Actions: scarf waving
- Follow with Bagpipes, Trombone, Piano, and chorus
- Dambusters
- The Music Man: "I play The Dam Busters!"
- Sing the theme to The Dam Busters
- Actions: with arms outstretched running around, like bomber aircraft flying; alternatively, make an "okay" sign with both hands and place over eyes (with palms touching cheeks, thumbs over eyebrows and the 3 loose fingers of each hand pointing down) in the manner of an aviator's goggles.
- Follow with Football, Bagpipes, Trombone, Piano, and chorus
- "Here We Go, Here We Go" Theme
- Sing: Here we go, here we go, here we go; Here we go, here we go, here we go; Here we go, here we go, here we go; Here we go, here we go, here we go; Here we go, here we go, here we go; Here we go, here we go, here we go; Here we go, here we go, here we go; Here we go, here we go, here we go; Here we go, here we go, here we go; Here we go, here we go, here we go....
- Actions: Scarf waving to "Here We Go"
- Singer: I am the Music man!
- Audience: Oi!

Recently I got another swell, visually resplendent book from the folks at Laurence King Publishing. The 3D Type Book is pretty much what the title says: an exploration of creative typography off the printed page and executed in our own, living world. For this project, London-based designers Agathe Jacquillat and Tomi Vollauschek assembled more than 300 alphabets rendered in neon lights, cut paper, clothing, sticks, stones, garbage, grated cheese and the human body (the alphabet made of skin squashed with clothespins is guaranteed to make you squirm). Most of the examples are pictured in simple, A to Z fashion — whatever is lost in legibility is gained in the sheer ingenuity on display.
Although many pieces in The 3D Type Book are the handiwork of designers working in the commercial arena, several examples push the boundaries into fine art suitable for a museum display. One of my favorite examples is the CMYK Alphabet from London-based Evelin Kasikov. Kasilov's ethereal letterforms, rotated on top of themselves and beautifully rendered in embroidery, nicely bridge the gab between computer technology and the D.I.Y. aesthetic espoused by Etsy and other crafty communities. Cool as it is, it's just one sample of many that inspire an "oh, wow" reaction. On the whole, the book is very Euro-centric (a minor complaint) but also a great record of creativity being found in the oddest, most unusual places.
Addendum: Vollauschek has alerted me to 3d-type.com, the book's official site, where the complete contents can be previewed.
The 3D Type Book is published by Laurence King. Buy at Amazon.com here.

About the Instructors
Sharon and Joy are seekers of all things colourful, unique, and sometimes downright quirky! The both of us bonded over our love for uncovering beauty in our everyday lives. We've always been huge fans of calligraphy and lusted after beautiful lettering on Instagram. We finally decided to take the plunge and embark on a lettering journey together, and we've never looked back since.
Calligraphy is incredibly therapeutic to the both of us and we've loved creating beauty from watercolours and a pen. The journey into calligraphy and lettering has been amazing - we have learned so much more about each other, so much more about this traditional art form, and been welcomed into an amazing community of calligraphers - both local and abroad.
In their free time, both Sharon and Joy enjoy crafting and journalling.

Sales of existing U.S. homes surged a record 9.4 percent in September as Americans rushed to take advantage of a tax credit for first-time buyers before it expires next month.
Purchases rose to a 5.57 million annual rate, more than forecast and the highest in more than two years, the National Association of Realtors said Friday in Washington. The median price fell at the slowest pace in a year as the number of houses on the market shrank.
While sales may cool unless Congress decides to extend the $8,000 credit due to expire Nov. 30, lower prices and mortgage rates have also made houses more affordable and may cushion any decline. Smaller price decreases show the market is stabilizing as demand improves, easing the strain on consumer finances that deepened the worst recession since the 1930s.

Do you have a child who currently plays a contact sport such as football or soccer in Escondido? Do you often worry about the risks of concussion and the likelihood of coaches properly identifying concussion risks on the field? An article in the National Academies Press, which is a journal connected to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, concussions are notoriously difficult to detect.
The article underscores that "part of the underreporting of concussions stems from the fact that the injury cannot be seen," given that "with a concussion, there is no obvious injury such as when an arm or leg is dislocated." There are, of course, signs and symptoms of concussions, but these are not always dispositive. As such, teen athletes and others who sustain blows to the head may suffer from concussions but may not be properly diagnosed. A missed diagnosis or improper diagnosis can result in long-term harm.
However, according to a recent article in The New York Times, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has now approved a blood test that is designed to detect concussions. How does it work?

Jermaine Pennant's footballing career sank to a new low on Tuesday as he signed for Singapore League side Tampines Rovers.
The former Arsenal, Liverpool and Stoke City winger, who had been a free agent since leaving Wigan Athletic last year, has lost what little respect English football once had for him.
However, one person who still respects Pennant is his wife, Alice Goodwin. She took to Instagram to celebrate his latest move. The model, who is one of Babestation's most famous phone-wagglers, seems to think her man is proving his haters wrong…
So, it turns out that Alice is pretty clueless as a football pundit.
Nevertheless, she is very good at her day job – posing for sexy photos while wearing very little.

Patzeria Family and Friends
A gem only minutes from Broadway and Times Square. Don't miss it
Patzeria Family and Friends, 311 West 48th Street, New York 10002
Let's not beat about the bush. Sometimes you happen upon a restaurant and you love it. That's what happened here.
It was right next to our hotel. We passed it every day and the sadness was that we only savoured the food on our last night.
This pizza, pasta, bar, grill – which serves breakfast from 7am to noon – is a must if you like good Italian food.
Joe Azzolino opened four years ago and it is packed every night. He has regulars but on the night we visited it was full of tourists. And you know what, Joe tries to get to every table for a chat.
The food? My sea bass with vegetables and a divine sauce with hints of garlic in the delicious wine sauce which added to the soft taste of the fish which was perfectly cooked.
Pam's chicken special was so good we – shouldn't admit it – mopped up the tomato-based sauce which accompanied it with a spoon, it was that good. The chef, not surprisingly, declined to provide the recipe.
And the strawberry cheesecake was a triumph, moist, packed with flavour and a superb texture.
Our waiter Alan was full of knowledge about the menu and what was best to accompany the dish. In all, I just wish Patzeria Family and Friends had a branch in Edinburgh and I'm determined to spread the word about the quality of this establishment.

Strangebird Zirkus: Ornithology
- Kelly Apter
- 22 June 2012
Experimental theatre mixes bird behaviour and human participation for an unforgettable production
Brunton Theatre, Musselburgh, Fri 29 Jun; Arches, Glasgow, Thu 5 Jul, then touring
Ever sat in the theatre and wished you could change the channel? Well now you can, courtesy of the latest production from Edinburgh-based aerial company Strangebird Zirkus.
While the visual aspect of Ornithology may remain the same (and if the company's previous show, Unchartered Waters is anything to go by, you wouldn't want it any other way) the aural experience is up for grabs. Wearing headphones, audience members can choose between a purely musical soundtrack, or the musings of an ornithologist watching the other characters on stage.
'We felt it would be an interesting challenge to create a physical story which was a stand alone piece of gestural theatre with a musical soundscape,' explains Lucy Deacon of Strangebird, 'whilst at the same time offering a second listening option – that of the ornithologist's observations. Audiences can choose to hear music and make their own interpretation, or switch channels and share the ornithologist's view of it.'
Formed in 2009, Strangebird Zirkus is a partnership between Deacon from Scotland and Moritz Linkmann from Germany. Fusing Chinese pole, aerial hoop and floor acrobatics, this latest piece explores notions of watching and being watched, and the often absurd way our behaviour changes when we're trying to attract a potential mate.
'All the characters in Ornithology are somewhat bizarre,' says Deacon, 'but they caricature behaviour that is very recognisable. Hopefully people will see that despite a broad spectrum of appearances and identities, we human beings have a lot in common and shouldn't take ourselves too seriously.'

Red McCombs, the former owner of the San Antonio Spurs, was chosen as the Minnesota Vikings' new owner Thursday and will keep the NFL franchise in Minnesota.
With a bid that blew away local favorite Glen Taylor, several other bidders and the 10 current owners, McCombs agreed to buy the Vikings for about $250 million. That was $50 million more than Tom Clancy's failed bid earlier this year, and about $30 million more than the offer turned in by Taylor.
Team attorney John Mooty said he expects the NFL to approve the sale quickly. However, the approval process can often drag because of the amount of background data the NFL assembles on prospective new owners.
Running back Leeland McElroy, a second-round draft pick of the Arizona Cardinals two years ago, was claimed off waivers by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. . . . Offensive tackle Victor Riley became the fifth first-round draft pick to sign, agreeing to a five-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs.

='Brand New News Fr0m The Timber Industry!!'=
========Latest Profile==========
Energy & Asset Technology, Inc. (EGTY)
Current Price $0.15
Recognize this undiscovered gem which is poised to jump!!
Please read the following Announcement in its Entierty and
Consider the Possibilities�
Watch this One to Trad,e!
Because, EGTY has secured the global rights to market
genetically enhanced fast growing, hard-wood trees!
EGTY trading volume is beginning to surge with landslide Announcement.
The value of this Stoc,k appears poised for growth! This one will not
remain on the ground floor for long.
-Energy and Asset Technology, Inc. (EGTY) owns a global license to market
the genetically enhanced Global Cedar growth trees, with plans to
REVOLUTIONIZE the forest-timber industry.
These newly enhanced Globa| Cedar trees require only 9-12 years of growth
before they can be harvested for lumber, whereas worldwide growth time for
lumber is 30-50 years.
Other than growing at an astonishing rate, the Global Cedar has a number
of other benefits. Its natural elements make it resistant to termites, and
the lack of oils and sap found in the wood make it resistant to forest fire,
ensuring higher returns on investments.
he wood is very lightweight and strong, lighter than Poplar and over twice
as strong as Balsa, which makes it great for construction. It also has
the unique ability to regrow itself from the stump, minimizing the land and
time to replant and develop new root systems.
Based on current resources and agreements, EGTY projects revenues of $140
Million with an approximate profit margin of 40% for each 9-year cycle. With
anticipated growth, EGTY is expected to challenge Deltic Timber Corp. during
its initial 9-year cycle.
Deltic Timber Corp. currently trades at over $38.00 a share with about $153
Million in revenues. As the reputation and demand for the Global Cedar tree
continues to grow around the world EGTY believes additional multi-million
dollar agreements will be forthcoming. The Global Cedar nursery has produced
about 100,000 infant plants and is developing a production growth target of
250,000 infant plants per month.
Energy and Asset Technology is currently in negotiations with land and business
owners in New Zealand, Greece and Malaysia regarding the purchase of their popular
and profitable fast growing infant tree plants. Inquiries from the governments of
Brazil and Ecuador are also being evaluated.
The examples above show the Awesome, Earning Potential of little
known Companies That Explode onto Investor�s Radar Screens.
This s-t0ck will not be a Secret for long. Then You May Feel the Desire to Act Right
Now! And Please Watch This One Trade!!

You people are sick individuals! I am a Muslim and this is disrespectful and wrong.
You think because there are a few extremist in the world that you can "fight" ignorance with more ignorance?!
20 terrorists DO NOT speak for 1.5 billion, YES BILLION, people across the globe.
Islam is the second largest religion in the WORLD and quickly approaching the first. Islam is the FASTEST GROWING religion in the world AND IN AMERICA!
Most Muslims in American are AMERICAN converts! 57% of all Muslims in America are converts to the religion, not people fresh off the boat!
You are insulting Americans as well as others across the globe. You don't have to agree with the Qur'an, that's one of the things that makes America great, but you do NEED to respect others rights.
Frankly, any one who posts such horrible images and ignorant rants is just as bad as the terrorists doing the same thing. It's all propoganda that leads to mis-education and others to follow in your dirty deeds.
Not to mention the obvious, but anyone who posts under the name "Rusty Shackleford," King of the Hill's Dale's secret identity, is a coward and an idiot! Perhaps you don't get Mike Judge, but that character is supposed to display all the IGNORANT STEROTYPES of a Texan for amusement and entertainment - not so others can emulate him!
I understand that perhaps your site is a "joke" but it is not funny and truly offensive. Why don't you do America and favor and go read a book and stop putting fuel onto the fire of hate.

The oh so sexilicious Koran ?!!
What was that all about?


text:
I usually begin each of the holy days with an invitation to the congregation to travel through the prayer service in any way that enables them to make it a meaningful experience - to not feel obligated to read along with everything that I am doing; to choose readings to sit with longer, to close their eyes and meditate, to go for a walk and return. Even though my soloists and I have woven together liturgy and music with intention and the hope of creating a vessel for meaningful prayer, I have to create something that I believe will touch upon things that many different kinds of people appreciate and, therefore, is likely to lack something for everyone too. And so we all have to be responsible for our own prayer experience, and for our own shortcomings and sins.
Until now I have struggled with what to do with the Hineni prayer. Perhaps my feelings about it have been colored by the old joke:
During one service in a wealthy synagogue, the rabbi got carried away. Falling on hands and knees, forehead to floor, he said, "Oh God, before thee I am nothing."The Cantor, not to be outdone, also got down, forehead to wood and said, "Oh God, before thee I am nothing." Seeing this, Levy, a tailor in the fourth row, left his seat, fell to his knees, forehead to floor and he too, said "Oh God, before thee I am nothing." With this, the Cantor elbowed the rabbi and sniffed: "Look who thinks he's nothing!"
On the High Holy Days we are all meant to enter into this time of deep introspection and communal reflection as equals. There is no difference between one congregant and another, or between clergy and congregant. This year I have a Hineni that I feel able to read, and one that I will be able to invite each and every person in my congregation to read - each of us quietly to ourselves, as we prepare to enter into the ritual vessel that we are creating together with mindfulness:
Here I am,
one soul within this prayer community
Like those around me, I bring my own concerns and yearnings to this place,
hoping they will find expression in the time-hallowed words of my people and in the traditions cherished by generations before me.
May I bring the best of my energies to these Holy Days,
approaching this spiritual work with open heart and mind, sincerity, and sustained focus on the deep questions of this season:
Who am I? How shall I live? Where have I fallen short - or failed?
This night I take up the challenge of the Days of Awe:
cheshbon hanefesh - a searching examination of my life,
a moral inventory of my deeds, words, and thoughts.
During the next ten days,
let me face the truth about myself and listen to Your still, small voice.
Taking comfort in your promise that I am always free to change,
released from staleness and routine,
let me know the joy of beginning again.
May I gain strength as I share this task with those around me, united by our common purpose;
tikkun midot (improving our characters) and tikkun olam (repairing the world).
I now prepare myself to pray - one soul amidst this holy congregation.
(copyright CCAR, 2015; Rosh Hashanah Evening Service, p. 16)
It is another of those moments that the editors of Mishkan HaNefesh have provided alternative ways to encounter (the traditional Hineni is still there too). I am grateful for a text that better reflects how I would like to begin. And, of course, the core questions asked in the text above do not need to wait for the eve of Rosh Hashanah. This month of Elul is the time to begin to ask ourselves: Who am I? How shall I live? Where have I fallen short - or failed? Our inventories of deeds, words, and thoughts are likely to be long. We can take the time we need to review and begin the job of return.

Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee
Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee or Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee is a classification of coffee grown in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. The best lots of Blue Mountain coffee are noted for their mild flavour and lack of bitterness. Over the last several decades, this coffee has developed a reputation that has made it one of the most expensive and sought-after coffees in the world; over 80% of all Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee is exported to Japan.
Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee is a globally protected certification mark, meaning only coffee certified by the Coffee Industry Board of Jamaica can be labeled as such. It comes from a recognised growing region in the Blue Mountain region of Jamaica, and its cultivation is monitored by the Coffee Industry Board of Jamaica.
The Blue Mountains are generally located between Kingston to the south and Port Antonio to the north. Rising to 2,300 metres (7,500 ft), they are some of the highest mountains in the Caribbean. The climate of the region is cool and misty with high rainfall. The soil is rich, with excellent drainage. This combination of climate and soil is considered ideal for coffee.

What is Jamaica Blue Mountain® Coffee?
Toward the eastern end of the beautiful island of Jamaica runs the majestic range of hills known as the Blue Mountains. At 5,500 feet the land is thickly wooded and maintained as Forest Reserve. Below this line, the terrain, the rainfall pattern, the Blue Mountain mist, and the overall conditions are blessed by God to be perfectly suited for the cultivation of the world's most distinguished and delicious coffee; Jamaica Blue Mountain® Coffee.
Jamaican coffee has been internationally famous from as far back as the eighteenth century and gained particular prominence in the nineteenth century when many of the natives turned to growing the crops on their own land. Most of those farmers chose the mountains, including the rugged and very steep slopes of the Blue Mountains for planting.
Why buy the Mavis Bank Brand?
Nestled deep in the Blue Mountains at an elevation of approximately 3000 feet is the only fully integrated processing facility for the production of Blue Mountain coffee from the berry to the cup. Cecil Augustus Munn first cultivated and processed Blue Mountain coffee at Strawberry Hill, and his son Victor expanded the business when he built the Mavis Bank Central Factory in 1920. Victor's nephew, Keble had carried on this family tradition and heritage. Mr. Keble Munn is a former Minister of Agriculture, Jamaica's first Certified Cup Tester, and most recently the recipient of the Specialty Coffee Association of America's prized Lifetime Achievement Award. Until his death in the spring of 2008, Keble Munn was well loved and respected throughout Jamaica.
Under the leadership of Mr. Munn, the Mavis Bank facilities have been upgraded through the years and now handle forty percent of the island's Blue Mountain Coffee production. With expertise and passion, the Munn family produces coffee of the highest quality, with the green beans being marketed under the M.B.C.F. (Mavis Bank Coffee Factory) mark.
To ensure that consumers get value and quality, the Jamaican coffee industry has legislation in place demarcating the geographical boundaries, which define the coffee classified as Jamaican Blue Mountain®. This is reinforced by rigid inspection of the Jamaican Coffee Industry Board that certifies production and export of Jamaican Coffee. Edgar Munn, Keble's nephew, is approved by the Coffee Industry Board to import and sell Jamaica Blue Mountain® Coffee as per the Trademark Licensing agreement. He trades under Blue Mountain Coffee, Inc. as the Mavis Bank Coffee Factory Representative for North America.
Who buys Jamaica Blue Mountain® Coffee?
Over seventy percent of the coffee produced by Mavis Bank Coffee Factory is exported; the majority in coffee barrels clearly marked M.B.C.F.
This trademark, over many decades, has been recognized for its quality and continues to be in high demand by connoisseurs and distinguished coffee houses the world over. The remainder of the coffee is handed to professional roastmasters who meticulously roast selected beans to a medium roast. The BlueMountainCoffee.com label defines perfection insisting upon consistency, hand picking, and the nurturing of every bean it packages.
With this family history dating back to 1885, the Munn Family has been producing the world's finest and most expensive coffee for four generations. Today, Edgar Munn continues this family tradition by bringing Export Grade 100% Jamaica Blue Mountain® Coffee directly to you through BlueMountainCoffee.com.

R80 (airship)
This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (November 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
|National origin
|United Kingdom
|First flight
|19 July 1920
|Number built
The R80 was a British rigid airship, first flown on 19 July 1920 and the first fully streamlined airship to be built in Britain. Originally a military project for the British Admiralty, it was completed for commercial passenger-carrying purposes. R80 proved too small for this role and after being used briefly to train the United States Navy personnel who were to crew the ill-fated ZR-2 airship, R80 was retired and eventually scrapped in 1925.
Construction was begun by Vickers in their airship shed at Walney Island, Barrow-in-Furness, in November 1917 to a design by Barnes Wallis and H. B. Pratt. Vickers had originally contracted to build R37, but due to a lack of vacant sheds and a war-time steel shortage preventing construction of a new larger one, the smaller shed at Walney was used instead. This had been used to build R27 and R29, and the size of the R80 was limited by the small size of the shed.
Work progressed slowly due to labour shortages, and with the end of the First World War, the future of military airships was reviewed. The Air Ministry stopped the work in the summer of 1919 as it was considered that the ship was no longer of military or commercial value. Vickers continued to fit out the ship with commercial objectives in mind but the scheme fell through. Co-designer H. B. Pratt completed a report envisaging an intercity European flight route, similar to that being run by the Zeppelin company:
"The route chosen to Rome is 1,000 land miles which is within the endurance of the ship. It is expected that the ship will fly at a maximum height of 2,000 ft. The route will carry the ship over south England, the over the English Channel to Paris on a direct route. The ship will then deliver mail and passengers, and then pass down in a continued south easterly direction towards Lyon. Passing over Lyon, the ship will turn south through the Rhone Valley and the continue to Nice. At Nice on the French Coast, the ship will turn easterly and skirt the coast and head towards Rome over the sea. The return course will be via the same route."
Operational history[edit]
In April 1920, the outer cover was completed and by June the ship was finished. On 19 July, the ship emerged from its shed for its first flight. The ship was damaged on the trial flight as the ship had not been properly ballasted, and the lifting gas heated causing the ship to rise too fast. The result was extensive buckling of the framework. The ship was returned to its shed to be repaired, which took until January 1921. After further test flights the airship flew to the airship station at Howden, East Yorkshire in February where it was used for training the United States personnel who would crew the R38 (ZR-2). The US Navy made 4 flights in the ship totalling some 8 hours 45 minutes between 26 March 1921 and 1 June 1921.
After these flights, it was flown to RNAS Pulham, Norfolk. There the airframe was used for stress analysis and destructive testing before being dismantled in 1925. In total, this relatively small but well designed craft flew for only 73 hours.
Although successful in trials the design was too small for the intended use. Many lessons were learnt and incorporated in the design for the R100. One of the lasting innovations introduced by Barnes Wallis during construction was the first use ever of colour-coded wiring for the electrical systems of an aircraft.
