Madagascar first weaved its magic in 2005 when Dreamworks released this animated film. My kids have loved watching the film umpteen number of times.
What happens when Marty the zebra, Alex the lion, Melman the giraffe, and Gloria the hippopotamus comes live in a theatrical show? The same magic audience get to experience again…
Yes, Madagascar Live! is here right in Singapore for a limited period only till this Sunday 24th April and you sure don't want to miss this opportunity to "Move it, Move it". Before you read further, open another tab on your browser and start booking the tickets on Marina Bay Ticketing Website Or SISTIC.
When I got an invite to attend the opening show, it became a Must-Go for me! Unfortunately, elder daughter has exams coming soon so she couldn't join, son said no because Sis couldn't go…Hubby dear encouraged me to go and enjoy the show from the child's perspective!!
So I went, straight after work…to Grand Theatre, MasterCard Theatres at Marina Bay Sands. Bought some munchies and was all set to watch Madagascar Live! My excitement was doubled just by looking at this vibrantly lit curtain…Voila, I was on the 2nd row…so near to the stage!!
The show began exactly on time at 6 PM and the sound, the music, the acting, the visuals captivated audience's attention right from that moment. Kids and yes, adults were jumping with joy!
Drum rolls…there they arrive on the stage…in the midst of the thunderous applause and happy screams of kids…
Naughty Penguins…
It's Marty's 10th birthday and he wants to something different this time. He wants to explore the wild and experience the life away from the pampered life of the zoo! Whether he escapes from the zoo, how Penguins who themselves are on their way out give Marty ideas…What Alex, Melman and Gloria do to for their friend Marty's birthday wish…How they finally land up in Madagascar…How the friends remain friends against all odds forms the crux of the plot. You might find it familiar but believe me, watching the show on stage LIVE is always a novel experience.
Oh, they are out of the zoo…What happened on the station of NYC?
and they all land up in San Diego?? Nah, it's Madagascar!!! The real fun begins now…Fossa, Lemurs and the King Julien…
How Alex will satisfy his craving for steaks, will the friendship between Alex and Marty be ruined on Madagascar? How Marty, Alex, Melman and Gloria be together forever again?
I like to move it,move it
She likes to move it,move it
He likes to move it,move it
You like to MOVE IT
What a beautiful show! I liked everything about it – jaw-dropping set and stage-backstage creatives, wonderful actors who mingled with the audience and made all of us a part of the story, music that was foot-tapping. Take a bow Base Entertainment Asia for bringing it to Singapore.
When I got to click photo with the cast, I was almost like a 10-year old…thrilled!
Hurry, hurry, don't miss…You only have this weekend to catch up Madagascar Live!

"Institute of Highest Learning," New Era, Sept. 1993, 20
Institute of Highest Learning
There are some grand traditions at Texas A&M. But for these LDS students, attending institute is the grandest of all.
Tough decisions in college? Here's how some LDS students at Texas A&M University are handling them.
Rick Daniel was a hot item as a high school senior. Universities like Miami, Stanford, BYU, and Texas A&M wanted him to play football for them. It was an exciting time. He could seemingly play anywhere he wanted. Even though he was quickly approaching mission age, a mission was the last thing on his mind.
When Rick accepted A&M's offer, his dad tracked down the address of the LDS Institute of Religion so Rick could find it when he got to school. But when Rick saw the institute schedule, he couldn't fit a class in—or at least at the time he didn't want to try to fit one in. So Brother Tom McMullin, the institute director, met with him one-on-one each week to study the Book of Mormon. "The spiritual growth I experienced from it was well worth my time," Rick says. "I really matured spiritually." By his sophomore year, he was ready to make time in his schedule for a regular institute class.
Rick didn't quite know how much his testimony had grown until one day while he was sitting in institute class. "I had this overwhelming feeling that it was time to go on a mission," he said. The knot in his stomach told him it wasn't going to be that easy—he still had to tell his coach.
"I was so nervous," Rick says. "I didn't know what he would say." So Rick carefully explained to his coach what a mission is and that he would like to go on one. Before Rick could even squirm, the coach said, "Will you come back?"
"That broke the tension right there," Rick says. "I said, 'Of course. I'd want to come right back here, and would ya'll keep my scholarship?' He said, 'Sure, without a doubt.' It was great. Since then everything has been falling into place."
Rick is now serving in the California Anaheim Mission, the same city where he played against Stanford in the Pigskin Preview just last year.
Just Showed Up
Sandy Billings wanted to have fun—not get drunk. Bonfire was coming up, and it was famous, among other things, for the drinking it attracted. The Aggies build and burn a humongous bonfire before the game against their greatest rival, the University of Texas in Austin. It's a time of major partying.
Sandy, a nonmember, wanted to celebrate also. But she needed to find some friends who would not be drinking. Then someone told her the LDS institute was having an activity without alcohol.
"I just showed up for the party," says Sandy, who had investigated the Church some during her senior year of high school. "It was a lot of fun. I got a warm welcome and a warm feeling too." For the next school year she attended the "fun" institute activities. And during this time she found out something she had never known before—that years ago her mother had been baptized a Mormon as a young woman in Chile.
The following summer Sandy was baptized. Now you see her at institute all the time.
A Constant Reminder
Monica May wasn't exactly active in the Church during high school, but the summer before she went to college she decided to make church a regular part of her life. She missed the gospel.
Once at college she wasn't perfect with her goal, but by the end of her first semester, she looked forward to church as well as her institute class.
Monica had always known the gospel principles. But "I didn't see the importance of them until I came to institute," she says. "It's really opened my eyes. My testimony has grown, and institute has increased my desire to work at living the gospel."
It was during this realization that Monica's blossoming testimony was put to the test. It seemed she had found the perfect man. He was a handsome engineering student; he wanted to marry her; her parents thought he was great. But there was one major drawback—he was not a member of the Church.
During this same time, Monica had also developed a strong friendship with Chad May, who had returned from his mission in Taiwan and seemed quite serious about her.
Confused about what she should do, Monica turned to prayer and what she was learning in institute for answers.
One evening, the answer finally came. After watching part of a rec league basketball game Chad was playing in, Monica slipped out of the gym to go on a date with the other guy. But on the way, she says, "I got this terrible feeling in my stomach. I'd had this kind of prompting before, not acted on it, and regretted it. So this time I listened." She never dated the engineering student again. And less than a year later, Monica and Chad were married in the Dallas Temple.
"Institute provided a constant reminder of my standards," Monica says. "Without it I wouldn't have known which way I should be going."
A Way of Life
Going away to college and making mature decisions isn't easy. There are lifetime decisions to be made and many exciting moments awaiting you—just ask Rick, Sandy, or Monica. They have first-hand experience. They also know that trials can shake your testimony if you don't have moral as well as spiritual support. Thanks to their participation in institute they had that support.
But isn't institute just seminary for college kids? Sort of—but it's a whole lot more. It can be the secret to your college success.
Institute activity quickly becomes more than just a once- or twice-a-week religion class; it can become a way of life. It has for Heather Kennedy. On Monday nights, she meets with her student ward family home evening group at the institute building. On Tuesday evenings, she attends her Book of Mormon class. On Wednesdays, she sings in the institute choir and then studies at the building. On Thursdays, she has Book of Mormon again. After class she goes country dancing with a group of institute friends. On Fridays, she goes to the "sandwich seminar" and has lunch while a guest speaker discusses the gospel. And on weekends, there is always something going on. "It's amazing how much easier college life is with institute," Heather says. "It's nice to be here because the Spirit is here, even if you're just here to relax or study. Believe it or not, it seems the more time you spend here, the more time there is to study. Everything seems easier with institute."
A Place to Find Answers
For Morris Overstreet II, the LDS institute is a place to find answers to his gospel questions. He had only been a member of the Church for a year when he became concerned about being the only black member at the institute. "I wanted to know when and if the gospel was ever going to reach the black community," Morris says. "Having grown up in a black community, I know they need it." So Morris talked with Brother McMullin about his worry. "He helped me realize that just by being involved in the Church, I will have a great influence with the blacks around me. It's made me realize I need to be doing the right things so that I can be an influence." Morris leaves on a mission this year.
A Little Closer to Home
Institute has made missionary work easier for Kimberly Pace. She had been trying to get her nonmember stepsister, Missy Shirley, to go to church with her ever since junior high. But with no success.
When Kimberly arrived at A&M, she enrolled at the institute. "I really liked it here," she says, "and it really seemed to me institute would be something Missy would like too. So I invited her."
The invitation couldn't have come at a better time. Missy had been looking for a religious extracurricular activity. "My main goal was to learn," Missy says. A lot of the religious groups she had visited were mainly social groups, or if they had lessons, the teachings were vague. But when Kimberly told Missy about institute, "It sounded like a pretty well-rounded activity," Missy says. Institute had meaningful lessons as well as social events.
Missy ended up going to institute classes and activities with Kimberly for the rest of the semester, and over Christmas break she even asked if she could return. "Institute is a little closer to home in my heart than some of the other places I visited," Missy says.
But Missy isn't the only one to gain from her institute activity. Her interest "has kept me going," Kimberly says. "I wouldn't have gone this much without her. And when I worry about her it brings me closer to God."
Feeling Safe
For Shelley Gray, institute reassured her she could find Mormon friends at a non-LDS school. She didn't know anyone when she came to Texas from Midvale, Utah. "But because I knew the institute was here, I felt safe," she says.
And she was right. The first time she went to institute, everyone rushed to make friends with her. "If you make the first effort, you'll just get sucked in," she says. "We really stick together. There's a lot of group dating, and there are tons of neat people here."
All this is happening at the LDS Institute at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. You find Heather singing "The Spirit of God" with her class there. Sandy sits at the table in the library reading her Book of Mormon before class. In a small office, Morris frantically types a paper on a computer. In the hallway on a map showing all the missionary locations, Rick's name is pinned to Anaheim. In the institute kitchen, Monica washes some dishes she and her husband used for their lunch, while Kimberly makes herself a snack from the stocked refrigerator. Shelley puts away her pool cue in the game room so she won't bother someone else doing their calculus on the chalkboard. And on cool days, you might even find Missy and others playing volleyball on the court outside.
But what's even better is that no matter how big or small it is, wherever there's an institute, LDS students like those at A&M are building strong testimonies, sharing the gospel, and finding friends who share their own beliefs. As Brother McMullin says, "All we do here—the socials, the fun, the service projects, the private discussions, the classes—is to help each student grow closer to the Savior."
And that's the secret to true success, not only in college, but also in life.

Why Attend Institute
Texas A&M students give you their top five reasons:
At college, you are away from parents. Support from institute classes and friends makes it easier to do what's right.
You gain a deeper understanding of the scriptures. You learn how to apply them to your daily life.
Institute classes help carry the spiritual high of Sunday through the whole week. This helps you keep your priorities in order.
It's easy to get lost in the big university crowd. But at institute, you are always among friends.
You need a strong testimony of your own to withstand challenges and to share with your friends. You can develop that testimony at institute.

Europay, MasterCard, and Visa, also known as EMV, is a financial practice that has migrated from overseas. When it comes to understanding the importance of EMV, you must first understand the basics. Here's a close look at EMV, its benefits, and why you should be taking advantage of it.
Transactions are more secure when using EMV cards
Unlike regular credit cards, EMV cards have a chip embedded within them, which creates a unique transaction code that is rendered useless to thieves and hackers once the transaction is over. When an EMV purchase takes place, cardholders enjoy peace of mind in knowing that the transaction information will be held to the highest security standards, ensuring that data cannot be used by those looking to exploit it.
EMV cards change liability
Before October 1, 2015, the liability of fraudulent transactions rested on banks and processors. Starting on this day though, the liability shifted so that those with the least EMV compliance were held responsible for the transaction. Because of this, it is imperative that business owners, as well as anyone that accepts credit card transactions, be EMV-compliant.
EMV helps protect the nation as a whole
EMV cards have been around for many years, and through numerous studies, it has been found that parts of the world not accepting these cards are at a high risk of fraudulent credit card acts. If the US had decided not to follow in the rest of the world's footsteps when it comes to protecting consumers and businesses, this nation could have very well been a primary target for fraudulent credit card transactions.
Whether you're a consumer or business owner, you need to take advantage of EMV credit cards. From a consumer's perspective, you will be able to take comfort in knowing your transactions are better protected. From a business owner's standpoint, EMV reduces liability against fraudulent acts, and it provides a way to collect, store, and manage transaction data so that optimal transaction experiences take place each and every time.

Ma.Tec.'s ATTRI-AS strictly follows the ASTM standard test method D5757-00, with some improvements in the measurement of the air flow rate.Problems frequently arise in the quantitative determination of the fines collected in the Fines Collection Assembly (250 ml glass flask plus thimble plus 20 cm metal tubing), as their weigh is often too small in comparison to that of the assembly, therefore affected by a large error.Ma.Tec. has developed a very efficient and light filter, capable of collecting all the fines without any appreciable backpressure in the attrition tube.This filter is directly connected to the exit tube through a practical plug-in system.As a result, no collection assembly is required any more.
All MaTec instrument feature a new high-resolution touch screen display, allowing more accurate operations. As a result of the new display, a new user-friendly calibration procedure has been introduced to our Crush Series, to make sure the instrument consistently provides reliable measures.
As some catalysts may contain chemical compounds classified as carcinogenic, in such occurrence the fines resulting from the ROTAB test must not be inhalated.
Now the ROTAB drum can be removed from the equipment and opened in a dry box, thus solving the problem. The modification is available to any customer and is brought to the public without any price increase.

When you think of walkable cities, it's likely Phoenix isn't the first to come to mind. After all, our metropolitan city spans over 9,000 square miles. Walking that kind of distance could take a while, but lucky for us, we have nature preserves, lakes, and trails right in our backyard.
And as we grow to be more health-conscious, you can literally see all fit, fun, and particularly delicious reasons our city is on the up-and-up. So get out and explore a new area with our list of walks to take in the Valley of the Sun!
Tempe Town Lake is one of the best places to take in Phoenix's famous sunsets. And if you're looking for this to be a more romantic walk, the bridge often has lights that make a beautiful reflection off the water at night. Though, during the day, you're bound to cross Tempe Beach Park, a place for concerts, festivals, and races. Need some directions? Mill Avenue is a great place to start or end this walk.
This 1,185-acre park in the North Valley is bustling year-round — yes, even on the scorching hot days. That's because its trails vary from flat to staircase-steep (feel the burn!). No matter the day, you'll see people strolling with their kids, running, biking, and even horseback riding. And if you're feeling like taking the steep route, you'll be rewarded with beautiful views of the city.
We love this trail because it makes a giant loop — no more doubling back on sights you've already seen. The terrain is flat but there are several detours if you feel like adding in a hill climb. Big plus for your walk? The trail is dog-friendly, so don't forget your fur baby.
Living in the concrete jungle means that, sometimes, you need to recharge by connecting with nature. We have just the place. This 110-acre preserve in Gilbert is loaded with ponds, marshlands, and wildlife. The best news? The heavy vegetation provides plenty of shady spots — it's so necessary on a hot day!
Encanto Park is one of those places where you could easily spend your whole day. This 222-acre outdoor oasis has a little bit of everything, including a nature trail, lagoon, and even an amusement park. So, lace up those sneakers and get to exploring.
Stroll under palm trees and take in the beautiful flowers at Scottsdale's Waterfront Promenade. You'll be near tons of shops, restaurants, and salons if you need a break from this mile-ish-long walk. And while this isn't an enormous area, you could definitely turn a short walk into a whole-day thing.
Taking a walk in Phoenix often means waiting for crosswalk signs at major intersections. That's why we love Scottsdale's Indian Bend Wash Greenbelt, offering more than 24 grade-separated crossings. That means less tapping your foot waiting for the 'walk' symbol. The Greenbelt itself is an oasis in Scottsdale; the 11 miles of green space features parks, lakes, paths, and golf courses. See you out there!
Checking out the "Hole in the Rock" at Papago Park is basically a prerequisite for living in Phoenix. While the trail is only 0.3 mile, it is one of the best spots in the Valley to catch a sunset. The best part about this easy walk is you can bring along anyone including small kids and dogs. And definitely combine this with a picnic in Papago Park for the complete experience!
No matter where you reside in the Valley, it's likely you are near the Arizona Canal. This system traverses 39 miles east of Scottsdale through Phoenix and into Peoria. A half-mile stretch near downtown Scottsdale alone has art, landscaped walkways, and access to shops and restaurants. Fitt Tip: a stop at O.H.S.O. Brewery or Chelsea's Kitchen guarantees a good walk.
This path is a favorite among Phoenicians. For one, it holds some history that has remained unchanged for nearly a century. Secondly, it is about three times the width of a normal sidewalk, allowing for traffic to flow both ways. This is important since this is a popular place to walk, run, and bicycle (passing is a breeze!). Even in the summer, it remains busy under the shade of ash and olive trees.
Get the latest news on Phoenix's fitness scene.

10 Year Old Viking Scars
10 Year Old Viking Scars
Volume : 700ml
Centuries ago, long before Orkney became part of Scotland, it belonged to a vast Viking Kingdom. Magnus Eunson, who founded Highland Park in 1798, was a direct descendant of those early Viking pioneers who settled in our island home, becoming part of Orkney and part of us, and leaving their mark on our landscape, our culture and our people. Does that shape the character of our whisky? Without a shadow of a doubt.
"My great ancestors are not gone, you can find them in my flesh, blood and soul."
Old Viking Saying
This whisky is available in selected countries only.

I love what I do and wouldn't change it for the world, but I also have a number of other passions including watching and playing football (soccer), taking photos, climbing big mountains, drinking coffee, eating good food and a watching an addictive Netflix series!
I hope this blog will help serve you if you are a young person wanting to wrestle with scripture more, if you are a parent trying to better understand your kids, or a youth leader looking for some fresh ideas!
I don't have the answers to everything, but I love to share stories of what I see God doing and I'll share some useful hints and tips that I have picked up along the way. I hope and pray this blog will serve you well!
So come journey with me as we adventure together.
It will be a blast!

Colorado has a pup-load of amazing and accessible trails, so we picked the most woof-derful options for you and your pooch to explore and paired each of 'em with a dog-loving taproom patio. After all, there's nothing like a good post-hike brewery date with your #1.
If your woofer needs a little trail manners refresher before heading out, be sure to check out our Good Dog's Guide to Hiking Etiquette. Then make sure you have all the essential hiking supplies for a safe 'n happy mountain adventure. Okay, on to the good stuff:
Hike #1: Green Mountain Trail
Head out to Boulder fur this hiker's heaven. Although the trail is slightly challenging (healthy, strong pooches only, please!), the summit's panoramic view of the flatirons is worth the journey. Pro tip: time this hike with the blooming wildflowers in April.
After taking in the view, head to Oskar Blue's Brewery and Taproom on Pearl Street to crush a brew or two. The outdoor patio provides prime people-watching opportunities, and tons of sniff and tail wags from other pups, and the brewery hosts live music every Friday and Saturday night.
Hike #2: Bear Creek Trail
With the variety of trails offered in Lair O' the Bear Park near Morrison (just 30 minutes from Denver!), you and your furry friend will stay entertained for hours. Our favorite is Bear Creek Trail, emphasis on creek. Let your pooch wade in the crystal-clear (and puppin' cold) waters of Bear Creek to cool off on a hot summer day. Just remember to leash up before you go since it's not an off-leash trail.
After a little creek-dippin', drive a bit further west to Evergreen to visit the dog-loving brewers over at El Rancho Brewing Company.
Hike #3: Mary Carter Greenway Trail
Short on time? Don't wanna go too vertical? Head to the Mary Carter Greenway Trail (AKA the Arapahoe Greenway) near Littleton for an 8-mile stretch along the South Platte River. The nicely crushed stone path is mostly flat (great for the furry friends with short legs!) and won't be rough your pooch's sensitive paws. Though you won't reach the peak of any mountain on this trail, you will see majestic skyline views of downtown Denver the entire time.
Bonus of sticking around Littleton for a hike? A stop over at the iconic Breckenridge Brewery. If your dog didn't get enough energy out on the trail, the 12-acre sprawling campus of this place'll kick his fetch game into high gear! Head to the Farm House for a cozy, back-porch beer garden you could only dream of: food trucks, an extensive beer selection, and unreal views of the Rocky Mountains.
Hike #4: Apex Trail
Golden offers unlimited opportunities for outdoor adventure, but we picked Apex Trail (sometimes known as Apex Park Enchanted Forest Trail) as our top contender. This 4.7-mile hike generally takes about four hours to complete with Fido in tow (or maybe she's pulling you!) and is meant for only fit and experienced hikers no matter how many legs you have. The steep and narrow gravel trail can be ruff! Don't forget your leash, as this trail doesn't allow for off-leash puppers.
If you're into German-inspired brews (Dunkelweizen, anyone?), then stop at Mountain Toad Brewing on your way home. The beer garden's picnic tables will easily fit your whole crew of humans and furry friends plus whatever tasty eats you pick up from the rotation of food trucks just outside. Just make sure your dog stays leashed and on his best behavior while in the beer garden!

Hillsborough campaigner Margaret Aspinall is to feature in an event as part of the city's WOWFest literary celebrations.
Rebel Women examines the impact three different females have had on the establishment and society in general.
Marking Margaret's fight for justice for the victims of the 1989 disaster for almost 30 years, she will be joined on stage by London playwright Sabrina Mahfouz and activist Dashni Morad.
Morad is an Iraqi-Kurdish-Dutch singer and TV presenter who also campaigns for human rights.
It is one of around 30 events in this year's WOWFest programme which looks at diversity and tolerance in writing and story-telling.
The event takes place at Liverpool Women's Organisation at 54 James Street on Tuesday, May 23 .
The same venue hosts an event with Vicky Pryce, the economist convicted of perverting the course of justice in 2013 for accepting driving licence penalty points incurred by her husband, the former Chris Huhne. This takes place on Tuesday, May 9 .
Sharon Shoesmith, the former director of Haringey children's services who was sacked on live TV by ED Balls over the Baby P case, discusses her experiences on Wednesday, May 17.
Tickets for all three events are available through the Philharmonic Hall box office on 0151 709 3789.

Charlie: Michelle in Cyprus says, "I have a private well, and after the flood, it tested positive for bacteria."
Tom: Ew.
Charlie: "We've lived here 27 years, but now we're thinking about well water treatment system. What's your recommendation?"
Podcast: Play in new window
Tom: I think it's a good idea. Just think about it. You know I've always been a filter guy, so the K5 drinking water station would make it drinkable. For sure, that would happen. And I would tell you, Aquatex would be the people to call, depending on how you want to treat all this, because you might have to treat it in a different way for bathing and stuff, too.
Charlie: I was going to say, it's not just –
Tom: Because there's more than just drinking. But definitely get the K5 for the drinking.
Charlie: And John down there at Aquatex is just a whiz with water. He can –
Tom: He's a whiz with water!
Charlie: He is. What a wonderful wonderful whiz he was.
Tom: I like that.
Charlie: Anyway, but he has a bunch of different filter solutions, right?
Tom: Yeah. Let them test it and design the system exactly how you need it.

Here's something I scribbled about @TheRealYLT back in 2007. It's still so true. Need more proof? Fine. Check out these clips of a reunited Pussy Galoredazzling the crowd at Maxwell's last week. Let's not forget the fact that Yo La Tengo are still playing their standard 8 night Hanukkah run while Ira recovers from an undisclosed illness. Since I couldn't make it to any of their shows this week, I'm listening to everything Yo La Tengo on Spotify. Unsurprisingly, it's perfect for this week.
These guys are seriously the greatest, most generous act in indie rock and I can't help but think people still take them for granted, because, well, they do.
(I'd be remiss if I didn't link over to Jesse Jarnow's online home, Frank & Earthy, for full setlists from these shows.)

Looking for some technical help with a CD-i 210.
So a few months ago I found a Philips CD-i 210 for cheap in a local pawn shop, with digital video cartridge! And without controller! Naturally I bought it.
After a searching on eBay for a while for a decent priced controller, I bought a a CD-i Thumbstick, the wireless one with the analog stick on it.
Putting in batteries, pointing it at the console and wiggling the stick did nothing. Looking at the IR emitter with the camera on my phone, it still makes a signal so put it down to the weird incomparability with certain players and wireless controllers, so the search continues.
Recently I won a CD-i Touchpad on eBay, the Gravis Gamepad/SNES looking one. Plugging it in the front port, still nothing.
I don't know if it could be a problem with the CD-i player, or if I have the worst luck with controllers on eBay or what. Any help would be appreciated, I have Hotel Mario ready to go and need my fix.

Celtics 108, Cavs 83: LeBron was a joke, the C's were anything but
Let's go back to what Brad Stevens said about mental toughness Saturday.
"First of all, I think mental toughness, being able to move on to the next play, being able to do the next right thing that can grow within somebody, for sure," the Celtics coach said. "If I look at myself as a 20-year-old player there's no way I would have had the mental fortitude after 20 years of coaching. I think players get better at that all the time. I think it helps when you have great role models in that regard. But mental toughness in general isn't being the most physical or just being able to make the big shot. It's being able to do your job on the next play every single time. That's hard to do. That consistency isn't for everyone. And that's why it's the mark of really good players."
It was not a mark of the best player in the NBA in Game 1.
LeBron James, suddently cast with a group that pales in comparison what the Cavaliers had been rolling out againt the Celtics in the postseason, flat-out wilted in what would end up being a 108-83 win for Stevens' team in the Eastern Conference finals opener. It's one thing to have bad games, which James certainly experienced. It's another to trudge through it the way he did this time around. (For a complete recap, click here.)
There was the walking down the court after missed shots, letting the Celtics convert one of the litany of their easy buckets. And James could also be found complaining to the referees while the action drifted back up court, crossing halfcourt as the other four guys in maroon jerseys attempted to play defense.
And then there was the actual basketball playing.
James really almost never attempted to take over a game that was getting out of hand early on, passively offering up the ball or settling for a random fadeaway. From nine minutes left in the first quarter until the 2:30 mark, the Celtics outscored the visitors, 25-2, during which Cleveland managed just one field goal on 12 attempts. Meanwhile, the Celtics going 10-for-15 from the field. And this entire time, the best player on the planet did little to turn the tide on eitehr end of the floor.
By the time the first half was over, James had been saddled with a minus-26, the worst in a single half for his illustrious postseason career.
When it was all said and done, the guy so many were so worried about finished with just 15 points, a minus-32, no 3-pointers and seven turnovers. Sure, Marcus Morris did his thing against James defensively, as did whichever Celtics player switched out on him. (Marcus Smart picked James' pocket once, while Jayson Tatum made him lose control a few times.) But that was part of the package.
James was simply the complete opposite of what Stevens described Saturday as being mentally tough.
As remarkable as James' nonchalant ways were, the other guys on the Cavs didn't exactly do anything to deflect the criticism of their leader. There was no Kyrie Irving to bail out LeBron this time, with Kevin Love coming the closest with a good-but-hardly-great, team-high 17 points.
And it should be noted how many Celtics did so much right. Morris found his offensive game (21 points), as did Jaylen Brown (22). The C's moved the ball, took it right at the Cavs' terrible defense and built their offense around lay-ups. And Aron Baynes made the kind of difference that should be noted, as well, using his length to contest more shots that the Cavs were probably used to.
It might change in a hurry, but, regardless, this one is going to be hard to forget. Players like James aren't supposed to offer images like this. The Celtics are thankful he did.

According to a release from the Department of Justice, a Chinese scientist was sentenced to 121 months in a federal prison for conspiring to steal samples of a variety of rice seeds from a biopharmaceutical research facility in Kansas. Weiqiang Zhang, 51, a Chinese national, and legal permanent resident was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Carlos Murguia in the District of Kansas. Zhang was convicted on Feb. 15, 2017 of one count of conspiracy to steal trade secrets, one count of conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property and one count of interstate transportation of stolen property.
Evidence at trial showed that Zhang worked as a rice breeder for Ventria Bioscience in Junction City, Kansas. Ventria develops genetically programmed rice to express recombinant human proteins, which are then extracted for use in the therapeutic and medical fields. Zhang has a doctorate from Louisiana State University. He resided in Manhattan, Kansas,
According to trial evidence, Zhang acquired without authorization hundreds of rice seeds produced by Ventria and stored them at his residence in Manhattan. The rice seeds have a wide variety of health research applications and were developed to produce either human serum albumin, contained in blood, or lactoferrin, an iron-binding protein found, for example, in human milk. Ventria spent millions of dollars and years of research developing its seeds and cost-effective methods to extract the proteins, which are used to develop lifesaving products for global markets. Ventria used locked doors with magnetic card readers to restrict access to the temperature-controlled environment where the seeds were stored and processed.
Trial evidence demonstrated that in the summer of 2013, personnel from a crop research institute in China visited Zhang at his home in Manhattan. Zhang drove the visitors to tour facilities in Iowa, Missouri and Ohio. On Aug. 7, 2013, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers found seeds belonging to Ventria in the luggage of Zhang's visitors as they prepared to leave the United States for China.
Acting Assistant Attorney General John P. Cronan of the Justice Department's Criminal Division said, "Weiqiang Zhang betrayed his employer by unlawfully providing its proprietary rice seeds to representatives of a Chinese crop institute."
Assistant Attorney General John C. Demers "Cross-border intellectual property theft not only hurts victim companies, it also threatens our national security," who added, "FBI's vigilance stopped Ventria's intellectual property from leaving our country in the nick of time, but it was Ventria's cooperation that allowed us to hold Zhang accountable for his crimes."
"Ventria invested years of research and tens of millions of dollars to create a new and beneficial product," said U.S. Attorney McAllister. "It is vital that we protect such intellectual property from theft and exploitation by foreign interests. We all benefit when American companies continue to drive socially valuable advancements in food, medicine and technology."

text: Summary: The plot of the series revolves around Mankichi Togawa, who at the start of the series is a single delinquent student with one dedicated follower. Like many later iconic shonen protagonists, Mankichi's power is his ability to appeal to the others around him who join his cause (sometimes only after first losing to him in a fight). Join Mankichi as he fights other delinquents, dangerous criminals, and even juvenile detention camps! Historically, this is Weekly Shonen Jump's first major hit, the title that got their magazine to sell millions. The authors of both Saint Seiya and Fist of the North Star have both stated in interviews that Otoko was their inspiration to get into the manga industry, and it was one of the first shonen manga to get its own anime. While it may seem insignificant now, nearly every Shounen Jump manga out there owes its existence to Mankichi.

These cute holiday cupcakes look like little cups of hot cocoa with candy cane handles!
Everyone at your Christmas party will be impressed and think you spent hours on them but with canned icing and a couple other ingredients, you can have these decorated and ready to serve in no time.
Hot Cocoa Cupcakes
- 6 Chocolate Cupcakes, prepared and unfrosted
- 1 Can Vanilla Marshmallow Frosting
- ½ cup Mini Marshmallows
- ½ cup Mini Chocolate Chips
- 8 Mini Candy Canes
1. Use a piping bag and tip to put a swirl of frosting in the middle of each cupcake to resemble whipped cream on the top of hot cocoa. You can put a dollop with a spoon if you don't have a piping bag. Just make sure to leave the edges of chocolate cake showing.
2. Sprinkle on some chocolate chips and marshmallows.
3. Take 2 of the candy canes and crush them into fine pieces. Take the other 6 candy canes and cut off about 2 inches of the straight end, so you have the entire rounded part left (Scissors work great when cutting the candy canes).
4. Sprinkle a little of the crushed candy canes on top the frosting.
5. For the cup handle, hang one of the candy cane pieces onto the side of each cupcake. Press one end of the candy into the top of the cupcake on the edge and let it hang down on the side of the cake liner.
These cute little "cups of hot cocoa" are a fun holiday treat! You can use any cupcake recipe of your choosing for these Hot Cocoa Cupcakes. To save even more time you can even grab some cupcakes from the grocery store. Either request un-iced cupcakes from your local bakery or scrape off the icing and start from scratch.
What is your favorite Christmas treat?

Currently comprised of founding members Mark Arm (vocals, rhythm guitar), Steve Turner (lead guitar) and Guy Maddison (bass), along with Dan Peters (drums), who joined the band in 1999, the Seattle, WA-based alt rock/grunge rock band Mudhoney officially formed back in 1988 although the band can trace its origins to the breakup of Green River, a proto-grunge band that at one point featured Alex Vincent (drums), Jeff Ament (bass), Steve Turner, and Stone Gossard (guitar). After releasing two EPs, and several lineup changes, Green River eventually split up with Bruce Fairweather, Gossard and Ament eventually joining Mother Love Bone. Now, if you know your grunge history, you'd know that after Mother Love Bone's Andrew Wood died from an overdose, Gossard and Ament went on to form Pearl Jam while Arm and Turner reunited to form Mudhoney.
Mudhoney's earliest releases through Sub Pop Records — namely "Touch Me I'm Sick" and the Superfuzz Bigmuff EP wound up becoming massively influential with the band being credited as being the godfathers of Seattle's grunge rock sound, a sound that we all know is generally centered around scuzzy, distortion pedal heavy power chords. But despite their towering influence on alt rock, the band has never really seen much commercial success — although Nirvana covered Mudhoney during their legendary Unplugged, filmed and recorded a few weeks before Kurt Cobain's suicide.
Slated for a September 28, 2018 through their longtime label home, the beloved Pacific Northwest-based grunge legends tenth full-length album Digital Garbage is reportedly, one of the band's most sociopolitically incisive and blistering albums they've recorded; in fact, Digital Garbage's first single "Paranoid Core" captures the distrust of experts and facts, the rampant fear-mongering and emotional exploitation and the very primal, lizard brained instinctual response that rules our current zeitgeist. And its all centered around boozy, old school punk rock guitar chords, a propulsive back beat and bass line. Western civilization and American democracy are about to collapse before our very eyes but goddamn it, there's at least rock 'n' roll.
The members of Mudhoney will be embarking on a lengthy world tour to support Digital Garbage that will begin with a set at Sub Pop's 30th Anniversary Festival and Party and include an October 13, 2018 stop at Warsaw before an extensive Fall European tour. Check out the tour dates below.

Social protection in Indonesia has evolved as fast as the country itself over the past two decades. Today, the Government of Indonesia (GoI) recognises social protection as being central to its economic, political and social development as well as its ambition of becoming one of the world's ten largest economies by 2030. Social protection is at the core of the 2015-19 Medium Term Development Plan (RPJMN), which articulates a vision for inclusive economic growth that promotes equality of income and opportunity as a precondition for escaping the middle-income trap and fulfilling the country's potential.
This Social Protection System Review of Indonesia (SPSR) is produced by the European Union Social Protection Systems Programme (EU-SPS) in close collaboration with the Ministry of National Development Planning (BAPPENAS) and with the broader support of the GoI as well as development partners. The SPSR intends to inform next Indonesia's RPJMN for the period 2020-24 as well as related policy processes.
The SPSR examines how social protection has evolved since the Asian Financial Crisis. It maps social protection provision and analyses the impact of key programmes. It also examines the financing of social protection and the challenges of harmonising programme implementation and poverty-targeting across Indonesia's vast geographical area.
The SPSR also focuses on the GoI's progress in closing gaps in social protection provision and achieving greater coherence and co-ordination amongst different programmes, institutions and levels of government in order to create a social protection system. This is essential for reducing poverty and high levels of inequality as well as optimising financial resources. New challenges, such as shifting demographics, climate change and the fourth industrial revolution, heighten the urgency of strengthening the social protection system.
Numerous stakeholders in the GoI, development partners involved with social protection, and representatives from academia and broader civil society worked together to develop the recommendations in this report. These address challenges such as enhancing the impact of social assistance on poverty, expanding social insurance coverage, optimising the institutional and information architecture for social protection, and mitigating gender imbalances. We hope this review will contribute to further enhancing social protection in Indonesia, maximising its potential to promote inclusive growth and thus underpin the country's progress towards achieving prosperity for all Indonesians.

On Saturday, advocates for renewable energy across the US and around the world joined hands at hundreds of events to call for an economy free of fossil fuels. At events in thirty-nine states and in places as far away as South Africa and New Zealand, people gathered on beaches and in other iconic spots for the second annual Hands Across the Sand Event.
At noon in whatever time zone they were in, members of Hands Across the Sand groups joined hands to form a human line, which in many cases paralleled the edge of the ocean. For fifteen minutes each group stood holding hands as if protecting the beach from harm, making a visual statement of opposition to offshore and other types of fossil fuel extraction.
"We are joining hands to say No to offshore oil drilling and Yes to Clean Energy," said Hands Across the Sand founder, Dave Rauschkolb. "We are joining hands to end our dependence on oil and coal and embrace a clean energy future for a sustainable planet."
More than a year after the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, Hands Across the Sand serves as a reminder that the United States and most other countries remain nearly as dependent on fossil fuels as they were at the time of the disaster, and that coastlines around the world are still endangered by risks associated with oil drilling and other activities related to the fossil fuel industries.
According to the mission statement for Hand Across the Sand, event participants were determined "To convince our State Legislators, Governors, Congress and President Obama and world leaders to adopt policies encouraging the growth of clean and renewable energy sources in place of oil and coal."
Though the BP spill is the best-known recent example of how fossil fuel extraction threatens coasts and beaches, the original idea for Hands Across the Sand predates the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. The first Hands Across the Sand day of action was a statewide event held in Florida on February 13th, 2010. On that day 10,000 Florida residents joined hands on more than ninety beaches around the state to protest moves by Congress and the state legislature to remove a ban on near and offshore oil drilling in Florida waters.
Mere months after the Florida event, the BP disaster catapulted debates about offshore drilling into the public spotlight. By late May environmental groups had decided to try to replicate the Florida campaign at a national level, and within four weeks more than 1,000 groups signed up. On June 26, 2010, the first international Hands Across the Sand event saw people join hands against oil, and for clean energy, in all fifty US states and in 42 other countries.
A year after that first event Congress hasn't done much to increase offshore drilling oversight or reduce US dependence on oil, but the movement to shift away from fossil fuels is still strong. To take one instance, at TradeWinds Island Resort in Florida, more than 400 people joined hands and formed a line along the beach at a popular tourist destination that could be irreparably harmed by an offshore drilling spill.
On the opposite side of the North American continent a few hours later, beach supporters came together for a similar event at another spot important to the tourist industry: Angel Island, California. These are just a couple of hundreds of Hands Across the Sands actions that spanned the United States and the world on Saturday.
"I couldn't be more pleased," said Rauschkolb at a Hands Across the Sands event in Seaside, Florida. "We've had events all across the world that started in New Zealand, swept across Europe, then the East Coast, and now all the way on to Hawaii. We've got thousands of people joining hands to embrace clean energy, to compel our leaders to embrace clean energy and steer away from the dirty fuel money that is influencing our energy policy."

India Global Trip (March 2020)
No donations have been raised!
Start: Dec 26, 2019 - End: Mar 2, 2020
Hello friends and family, I hope all is well with everybody! I am writing to you regarding a life-changing opportunity the Lord has called me to. In March, I will be going on a 12 day mission trip to New Delhi, India with Grove Community Church. The trip's focus will involve working with children's home ministries (including Bermese refugees), and house visits. India has a population of 1.36 billion people, with 29.4 million alone living New Delhi. India's religous affiliations are composed of: Hinduism 79.8%, Islam 14.2%, 2.3% Christianity. This means that there are 1.33 billion people who have not been reached by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I personally feel that Matthew 28:19 "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit," has been a calling placed upon my life. As I have been studying communications and biblical and theological studies at Bethel University I believe that God has been preparing me for this opportunity; to go to India and share His love. My faith has been transformed into a whole new light over the past year, and I want to take this opportunity to grow even more and share my love of Jesus to others.
I'd really appreciate your consideration and support through either prayer, financially, or both. This is an opportunity that I am very excited to step into, and would love your help and support in any way you feel called.
God's blessings,
Luke Schilmoeller

Gotta tell ya, Judge David Gustafson is obliging as all get-out. Just two days after I ranted about his not designating his useful and instructive orders, he's got two (count 'em, two) designated hitters today, and they are really obliging and instructive.
If anybody cares, my rant, that seems to have inspired Judge Gustafson's emergence from his wonted modesty, is to be found at the end of my blogpost "I'm From the Government, and I'm Here to Help", 8/20/14.
But Judge Gustafson came through in fine style today.
First to the plate is (or are) Kimberly Warren & Leslie Warren, Docket No. 21532-13, filed 8/22/14. Kim & Les claim they mailed their petition on Day 90, but the petition and the properly addressed but not postmarked envelope containing same arrived thirteen days later. Kim & Les claim they went to the post office on Day 90 and posted off the envelope with petition securely therein contained.
We all know that Section 7502 says "filed when mailed, but mailed means USPS postmark". Kim & Les "…argue that section 6213(a) or section 7502 does not require the petition to be filed in this Court within the 90 day statutory period." Order, at p. 2.
Of course that goes down trailing smoke and flames. So it looks like Kim & Les are finito.
Especially since the SNOD from which Kim & Les petitioned states their address and their petition states the same address, and said address located in the Great State of Tennessee. The Great State of Tennessee is nestled within the bounds of the Sixth Circuit. And Golsen-izing, Judge Gustafson finds that Sixth Circuit says taxpayers who send petitions by anything but certified or registered mail do so at their peril.
But Judge Gustafson, ever obliging, throws the rope: "We point out the following to the Warrens: Rule 162 permits a party to file a motion to vacate a decision within 30 days after the decision has been entered. If the Warrens wish to move the Court to reconsider this order (e.g., by presenting additional legal authorities, or by showing that they resided other than in the Sixth Circuit when they filed their petition), then they may appear at the calendar call in Columbia on September 8, 2014, and make an oral motion for the Court to vacate the decision. In the ordinary course this case would not be called (since it will have been dismissed), so if they intend to make such a motion, then they should arrive early on September 8 and should advise both the IRS counsel and the Court's trial clerk that they are there and wish to make a motion." Order, at p. 4.
Now that's really obliging.
Not to be outdone, Judge Gustafson has the same handy tip for Gerald P. New, Docket No. 29161-12L, filed 8/22/14.Gerry was a wee bit casual in responding to IRS' requests for information to work out a collection alternative, and never bothered returning Judge Gustafson's phonecall.
Not a good idea, Gerry. There are Tax Court judges who get mighty peevish when ignored. But Judge Gustafson's good nature shines through.
Although he tosses Gerry for failure to prosecute, he has the rope ready.
"We point out the following to Mr. New: Rule 162 permits a party to file a motion to vacate a decision within 30 days after the decision has been entered. If by September 22, 2014, Mr. New has obtained information that would show that his tax liability has been paid to an extent greater than the IRS acknowledges, or would show that he is eligible for a collection alternative, or would otherwise show that this decision should be vacated, then he should appear at the calendar call on that date and make an oral motion for the Court to vacate the decision. In the ordinary course this case would not be called (since it will have been dismissed), so if he intends to make such a motion, then he should arrive early on September 22 and should advise both his IRS counsel and the Court's trial clerk that he is there and wishes to make a motion." Order, at p. 2.
Now Judge Gustafson has done everything but offer to bring coffee and Krispy Kremes for Kim & Les, and Gerry, to the calendar calls.
And he's even designated these orders so I didn't have to spend an extra hour digging them out, on a cloudy Friday afternoon in August.
Way to go, Judge Gustafson.Thank you, Your Honor.

Time certainly flies by! So much to do and not enough time in which to get it all done. Thank goodness for the weekends. This last weekend (remember – over here our weekend is Friday and Saturday) was pleasant and relaxing.
On Friday I revisited AVENUES – Kuwait's newest and largest shopping mall. As a former New Yorker I was most pleased to see a new store has just opened (10 months ago actually) in the Avenues mall: Dean & Deluca … New York City's gourmet food store!! This store originated in Manhattan and has sinced spread throughout the USA and apparently around the world as well. Caution: prices are quite high but it sure is nice to splurge a little and buy a few trifles to make life away from home just a tad bit more enjoyable.
The outside of Dean & Deluca is hard to miss at the AVENUES mall. By the way, the entire Avenues shopping complex is still under construction with new stores being added every month!

Sox Diary: 9-19-04
Sunday, September 19, 2004: Yesterday's game did not happen. Oh, there are delusional ne'er do wells who will claim that they saw a game, and that it ended in a 14-4 romping and that Derek Lowe lasted just 1+ innings and gave up an absurd amount of runs (6? 7? Remember – it did not happen, so fake numbers are unimportant.) Those same jokers will tell tales about how the Sox defense absolutely fell apart. But remember – there was no Sox-Yanks' game yesterday. So today's game is not an absolutely critical rubber match that will keep alive the Sox' best bet at catching the Yankees. It is not a huge game for Pedro. It is not another ulcer-inducing showdown in the Bronx. Because whatever you hear, yesterday's game did not happen. Thank You.Print • Email

Watercolor paintings of your private home are an artist's conception of a dwelling. Then for lots of the remainder of the historical past of artwork in the western world, art depicting wildlife was principally absent, attributable to the fact that artwork during this era was largely dominated by slender perspectives on reality, equivalent to religions. It's only extra recently, as society, and the artwork it produces, frees itself from such slim world-views, that wildlife art thrives. Caravaggio's important topics are non secular ones which he embodies with real braveness as vitally proved. Caravaggio has a strong plastic modeling of kind; he places the oil-paint over the canvas with massive, wide dabs applying robust contrasts of sunshine and shadow that improve the dramatic effects of a lot of his work. Typically Caravaggio's works reached such a practical drive that shoppers refused from them not seeing the proper piety and ideality within the images.
There are numerous kinds of oil paints out there in market and the rates additionally differ according to the quality of product. There are also different varieties obtainable in market like some oil paints are very strong and some are very thin. So eventually selecting the acceptable colors for the painting relies on your finances and likewise the type of expression you want to express. Colours also play an necessary position within the portray because it'll add soul within the painting. Ingram admitted to Baring that he acquired carried away bidding at auction. There was a "passionate chase" after "Walking Madonna," a bronze masterpiece by Elizabeth Frink. He first bid for one (of the edition of three sculptures) at Christie's in 2002 but didn't get it; it went for £182,000. He was luckier the second time around, in 2006, however paid £377,000, rather more than he anticipated. Since then he has left the bidding to his artwork advisers.
2. Because of the unconventional nature of Banksy's art, the auctioning of his art often comes coupled with the public sale of the house connected to it. In one of the extra notable of these conditions was the $400,000 sale of a property, in southwest England. The mural on the wall of the house offered, courtesy of Banksy, was worth many of the worth of your entire sale. The homeowners offered the house in 2007 by the Crimson Propeller art gallery. The homeowners were initially distressed that lots of the prospective consumers would need to take away the mural so the sale to the art gallery was an all around good move; ensuing within the preservation of the piece as well as a good chunk of cash for the previous house owners.
Poly and Guardian reflect two vastly different perspectives on the home market in Chinese up to date artwork. Guardian is the oldest and most respected auction house in China, based in 1993 by Wang Yannan, daughter of Zhao Ziyang, the previous Communist Occasion leader who was positioned beneath house arrest after opposing the government's use of drive towards demonstrators at Tiananmen Sq. in 1989. If Poly is known for its vast assets and willingness to make deals to nab consignments, Guardian is known for its revered specialists and long-time period shopper relationships. For instance, when the Museum of Tremendous Arts, Boston, decided to promote 20 pieces of Qing dynasty porcelain in mainland China, it consigned the gathering to Guardian.
In the outdated instances, the beadworks made by the American Indians have been made largely of the turtle shells and animal horns and hooves. These native American artworks were typically used for rattling or tinkling materials which can be used for their dances. These artworks were additionally worn by hunters in a form of necklaces and had been mostly fabricated from wolf and bear claws. They function trophies of their kills, and serves as an emblem of the hunter's experience. Whereas among the American Indian beadworks are manufactured from steamed bones and seeds. They have been often used for stringing and are mostly blended into varied kinds.

EU-OSHA ENP Project in Armenia
In December 2014, EU-OSHA representatives travelled to Yerevan to meet with our partners in the Republic of Yerevan, as part of EU-OSHA's European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) project supported by the European Commission.
While in Yerevan, EU-OSHA met with the Ministry of Health, which is the responsible authority for safety and health at work in Armenia. The meeting was also attended by representatives of the Armenian National Institute of Health and social partners as well as the International Labour Organisation and was held in the offices of the National Institute of Health.
The meeting provided EU-OSHA with an opportunity to introduce the work of the agency and discuss the current priorities for occupational safety and health in the EU. In particular we introduced the Agency's current work programme and the EU Strategic Framework. The meeting gave us the opportunity to better understand the system for managing OSH in Armenia and their current challenges and priorities.
Following the meeting in the National Institute of Health we met with our colleagues in the Ministry of Health to outline some possible activities on which to collaborate during the current ENP Project.
EU-OSHA would like to thank our colleagues in the Ministry of Health in Armenia and all those who participated in our meeting for welcoming us to Yerevan. We are looking forward to continuing our collaboration in the coming months to help make the EU and Armenia safer, healthier and more productive places to work.
