- The Labour party has detailed proposals to move parts of the Bank of England to Birmingham and lend £250 billion to British firms through a publicly-owned RBS, should the party be elected to government.
- Shadow chancellor John McDonnell said investment should "tackle our productivity problems," and do so on "a basis of regional fairness."
LONDON — The Labour party has detailed proposals for a radical shake-up of the government's financial strategy which would see it move parts of the Bank of England to Birmingham and lend £250 billion to British firms over a decade through a publicly-owned RBS should it be elected.
Speaking on Monday morning at the launch of a report commissioned by the party, shadow chancellor John McDonnell said the UK economy required "long-term, stable, patient investment" into sectors such as manufacturing and technology which would boost the UK's chronically low productivity levels.
The report, prepared by GFC Economics, outlined proposals for a "Strategic Investment Board" which would answer to the Treasury. Under the radical plans, the Royal Bank of Scotland — currently part-owned by the taxpayer — would be taken into full public ownership distribute loans to British start-ups and other businesses.
McDonnell said the Strategic Investment Board would oversee the distribution of £250 billion over a decade.
The Conservative party, meanwhile, plans to sell £3 billion tranches of its RBS shares every year until it is privately-owned.
The report said other countries such as the US and Japan are racing ahead in areas such as the use of industrial robots — which are widely acknowledged to boost overall productivity — because they receive considerably higher levels of investment.
McDonnell also called for the Bank of England to relocate major parts of its operations to Birmingham, and said the new Strategic Investment Board would also be relocated in the Midlands city in a bid to "rebalance" the UK economy on "a basis of regional fairness."
The Bank of England has been independent from poilitical control since 1997 and McDonnell insisted would remain so, despite having a role in "implementing strategic direction" and "regulatory oversight" for the RBS loans under the new plans.
"The structures outlined in this report will operate effectively and the government's job is to set the overall framework from which those structures will be able to achieve their objective," he said.
McDonnell said the plans demonstrate "how we could harness [other financial institutions] to do two things: provide investment and provide it in a way that tackles our productivity problems, and does so on a basis of regional fairness."
He also suggested Labour would hold sessions of parliament outside London if it was elected. "I think there's an argument for ensuring that Cabinet and maybe sessions of parliament could be held elsewhere. Jeremy has been talking about holding shadow cabinet meetings around the country on a regular basis, and I think you'll see that evolve into other forms of direct devolution."

In our private session together she was able to validate all of the barriers that keep me from moving forward in certain aspects of my life by feeling what I feel. She was able to help me overcome hurdles from childhood that keep me from being the woman I need and want to be today. I was amazed that at the end of the session, I felt very much like an adult in charge of her life. My body felt differently than it had before the session, even my clothes fit me differently. I walked out of the session truly owning the woman that I am. The session gave me a renewed sense of power over my life and although I still have work to do, I feel like I am now starting from another level.

Hi everyone,
just a few look to my last wedding with Cloé and Arnould at castle of Pierreclos, in the vineyard of Maconnais, in burgundy. This serie of photographs is a bit special to me because of the couple session that we take in an old gazole station near the castle. We take a sort of "fashion approach" to this session and the result looks pretty fine and fun. Don't hesitate to tell me about your wedding and wishes, i'll be happy to cover your D-day.Lire la suite

Wedding photography for Paul & Camille in Dijon, Burgundy27 January 2017 | Burgundy, Leica photography, Vintage wedding, wedding, Wedding photography
Today I'm sharing a fuller set of wedding photos – those of Paul and Camille, whose wedding was a rural-style, fun occasion near Dijon. Paul is a (very talented!) architect client and his wife is a former colleague of mine from the newspaper world. They are now also very good friends and it was a real pleasure to be their wedding photographer. The gathering was organised in a relaxed open-air café style with a 1950s dress code and various games on offer – boules, cup and ball, bowling, together with sweets and even a bouncy castle! The photos capture this wonderfully pleasant and relaxed scene in the square of the village where the bride was born. A van from Foodies provided self-service Burgundy burgers, which really simplified catering arrangements and offered the guests something delightfully different. Conveying the atmosphere of the whole day meant that a natural and elegant style of photography was very definitely called for!Lire la suite

TWO artists are having their first solo exhibitions at a Coventry gallery.
The Fishbone gallery in Longford is showing the works of Coventry artist Corinna Spencer and London-based Kevin Nunn.
Corinna is a Coventry University BA and MA graduate, and her work is entitled The State She's In. It features three large oil paintings and lots of graphite and oil pastel on paper works, all similar in theme but different in detail.
Corinna says that in previous works she's created a female character, and she's now destroying her.
In the paintings it's almost as if the woman's exploding, being cut up, and swept away at the same time. The style is fairly abstract but the woman is recognisable as a person among great washes of colour.
The drawings feature the character being destroyed in lots of ways. They're not comfortable to look at and some are quite disturbing.
Kevin Nunn's collection is entitled Fox Versus Hare (The Art Of Prowling) and is made up of eight oil on linen paintings. Some feature women prowling around with fox heads on top of their heads, and there's also a Moonstruck Dog (a man with shears) and Baseball Baddie – a man with a baseball bat.
Nunn's apparently a perfectionist painter who destroys lots of work he's not happy with, and the attention to detail on these works is obvious, with clothing, facial detail and shadows all expertly portrayed.
The link between the works and the idea behind the exhibition of transformation isn't immediately obvious, but two exhibitions by artists on the way up are definitely worth visiting.

What SIC'EM 365 is saying about the 2019 Baylor Bears ...
"Baylor will return a good portion of the depth chart and key contributors from both side of the ball and will have a good portion of contributing upperclassmen on the roster, but the bulk of the team will still be relatively young as nine of 13 juniors never received a redshirt."

What 247Sports is saying about the Cyclones ...
"... the Cyclones appear to have one of the best answers for the Big 12's explosive offenses in its 3-2-6 defense that includes more preseason All-Big 12 candidates than any other league team. Offensively, Iowa State can build around Brock Purdy and an experienced offensive line, meaning the 'Clones need to find replacements for David Montgomery and Hakeem Butler, perhaps not as staggering a hole-filling job as the other potential top teams have."

What SBNation is saying about the Kansas defense ...
"... there are some potential play-makers in this [defensive backs] group. Bryce Torneden recorded 5.5 tackles for loss and 8.5 run stuffs from the nickel position, safety Mike Lee is a keeper, and sophomore Corione Harris (another rare four-star) and senior Hasan Defense combined for three TFLs and 16 passes defensed."

"Dalton Schoen is currently the favorite to finish as the Wildcats' top receiver, and Chabastin Taylor is an interesting player with potential. But the Wildcats are going to have to fill out this group with freshmen, either redshirt frosh — Malik Knowles, Phillip Brooks — or true freshmen in Keenan Garber and Joshua Youngblood."

What CBS College Football is saying about Coach Riley ...
"He's not the most experienced coach, but he was more than ready for his chance when he took over the Sooners two years ago. In that short span, Riley has coached Oklahoma to a pair of College Football Playoff appearances. He also developed Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray into Heisman Trophy winners and No. 1 overall picks in the NFL Draft. Lofty standards are the norm at a place like Oklahoma, but every fan has to be thrilled with what Riley has done. Two years or 20, he's earned the top spot among Big 12 coaches." Ben Kercheval, cbssports.com.

What CBS College Sports is saying about Coach Gundy ...
"I tend to place Gundy as not just one of the more underrated coaches in the Big 12, but one of the more underrated coaches nationally. It's extremely hard to win consistently at the same place for a decade and a half, and yet, that's exactly what Gundy has done. His 180 victories are the most in program history. He also quietly has a respectable coaching tree. Will he stay at Oklahoma State forever? Who knows, but he's the face of that program until he decides otherwise."Ben Kercheval, cbssports.com.

What CBS College Sports is saying about Coach Patterson ...
"A stalwart at his institution, what separates Patterson ever so slightly from the No. 3 coach below is his leadership as TCU rose through the conference realignment ranks. To have won five mid-major titles (one Conference USA, four Mountain West) along with a Big 12 title (while coaching for another in 2017) says a lot. And he's still one of the most respected defensive minds in football in a conference that thrives on offense. Patterson is one of a kind."Ben Kercheval, cbssports.com.

"The Longhorns do return the most important ingredient, though, in junior quarterback Sam Ehlinger, who is on many early Heisman watch lists, as well as a bunch of other key playmakers including senior receivers Collin Johnson and Devin Duvernay, sophomore running back Keaontay Ingram, senior safety Brandon Jones, sophomore safety Caden Sterns, senior defensive end Malcolm Roach and senior linebacker Jeffrey McCulloch."

"Since Wells' arrival there have been many positive signs from the Red Raider football program such as a concerted efforts to open the program up to fans and the public, establish connections with Texas high school football coaches, build strong bonds with West Texas programs and fans, add recruiting resources indicated by several recent hires and more."

What College Football News is saying about the 2019 Mountaineers ...
"... new head coach Neal Brown is a big-time offensive coach who gets back five regular starters and enough firepower to keep it all going. Replacing [Will] Grier isn't going to be a lock, but the Mountaineers might have just hit another quartrback home run transfer. Grier worked out well after coming in from Florida, and former Oklahoma Sooner Austin Kendall is another potential star." Pete Fiutak, College Football News.

Thread Count and Tax Reform
The term "thread count" refers to the number of horizontal and vertical threads per square inch of fabric. Per the marketers of bedsheets: the higher the thread count, the softer and more luxurious the product. Envision how some high thread count sheets would look under a microscope: that is the current tax code. It is packed tightly, with little space between the threads. There are no gaps.
Now, picture some low thread count sheets; the type that even Walmart will not carry and feel similar to sandpaper. Put these sheets under a microscope and you will see gaping holes. That is what the tax code will be after the proposed tax reform.
Tax professionals and taxpayers are constantly seeking pathways by which to avoid or reduce tax obligation. While the current tax code is an exceedingly complicated cluster of jargon and details, it is tightly wound without excessive loopholes. This strategy limits ways to avoid tax. Recent history has illustrated that our trusted leaders do not foresee the unintended consequence of their actions. As recently as 2003, moderate changes were made to the tax code to encourage business equipment purchases. This change resulted in wealthy business owners being able to expense their Range Rovers up to $100K, a snafu which became lovingly known as the "Hummer Loophole." More recently, under the Obama administration, tax credits were offered for the purchase of electric vehicles. However, the definition of a qualifying vehicle was not concise enough, as some electric golf carts qualified. Fast-acting golf and country clubs all around the country were able to replenish their entire fleet of golf carts for free under this tax credit.
The aforementioned, unintended consequences are from simple tax law legislation. Tax professionals immediately pinpointed and exploited these loopholes before the laws were changed. If the proposed comprehensive tax reform package becomes law, it will be chock full of unintended consequences. Tax professionals will find more loopholes and taxpayers will exploit them.
Our elected leaders have not shown that they work together well, so the loopholes may survive for multiple years. Furthermore, the IRS budget has been cut by 17% since 2010 and a reduction of enforcement staff by 23% thusly, the lines will be blurred between a smart taxpayer gaming the system and a tax fraudster cheating with limited enforcement and guidance because of the IRS budget cuts.
As a tax controversy attorney, I can view this impending doom as a positive, but our country will likely not see it through rose-colored glasses. We have made our bed with our elected leaders, and now we get to lay in it (with our scratchy, low thread count sheets).

When you decided in your priorities, then you may make a more targeted search based on worth and placement. I may hear the clicking, click on of the keys that the company journey agent was utilizing so I knew she was utilizing something on a pc. The brochure I created and had printed turned out to be an excellent marketing software for my enterprise. We also had been becoming smarter concerning the wholesale business by tour operators so we knew there was another model.
Taking from personal experience I have by no means had a problem with reserving with an internet journey agent. Essentially the most troublesome part, on the distribution facet, the lodge half is basically the technology that exists, so throughout the travel business of Asia.
English Language Abilities: English language coaching, enterprise English, FCE Certification coming shortly. Ekbergh quickly discovered that banks and airlines had little understanding of online payments or online journey businesses, respectively, and it was a struggle to seek out reliable Web service suppliers.
Boyd: At that time limit, we then had a big and growing retail airline ticket business and a large and growing retail hotel enterprise. You do not want ebook on-line in advance since native prepare doesn't have reserved seats. Our aim is to offer our clients value-add companies that stretch beyond a typical journey company.
Straightforward: We coordinate your journey so flights, transfers & excursions all connect easily. And, we still have the button that said 'write your own assessment.'

An e-shop is one other online business opportunity that needs very little traveler chris stapleton or no start-up price at all. Kosten: Glenn Fogel came over and he was immediately excited with a couple of the ways we may show him how we managed and grew the business.
The travel web page covers common protections consumers have underneath the Australian Consumer Regulation when buying travel. And it was a quite simple form to do so. Positive sufficient, we started getting opinions – immediately. The second query is, 'If you wish to spend money on China, which trade do you need to invest in?' I feel travel is a superb trade.
They will turn out to be a digital journey agent that works with impressive speed to find offers – even steals – on your whole trip. I very a lot doubt one can find it in a list of Journey Deals And Getaways, as they are normally a part of a purchase order from a consolidator.
We came up with the thought of starting a web based business with a bunch of business partners as a result of we thought that they had all the entrepreneurial spirit of two kids in a storage. You need not know the whole world's geography, but in case you are dealing in travel for a selected part of the world, it's best to not less than know nicely concerning the geography of that place.

Putting teeth into bioinformatics
July 2008
MILFORD, Mass.Building on a two-year-old co-marketing partnership, Waters Corp. and Rosetta Biosoftware announced last month the integration of the Waters IdentityE search engine with the Rosetta Elucidator system. The integration extends the capabilities of the Elucidator system for Waters' customers by allowing MSE data generated on Waters' instrumentation to be processed qualitatively as well as quantitatively.
The announcement, made at the American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) conference in Denver last month, is the culmination of a collaboration that began in 2006 in which Rosetta imported and processed Waters' proteomics UPLC-MSE accurate mass data into its Elucidator system for relative quantification studies. Finding that the Elucidator system's quantitative study capabilities were useful to its customers but lacked the qualitative protein identification capabilities required by some researchers, the companies decided to upgrade data interrogation and visualization tools within the Elucidator system to leverage Waters' data format.
Tim Riley, vice president and managing director of Waters' Pharmaceutical Business Operations, says the integrated products create a "powerhouse solution" for both companies' proteomics customers.
"Both Waters and Rosetta Biosoftware firmly believe that robust informatics are absolutely critical to the meaningful interpretation of data from complex biological systems produced by state-of-the-art analytical instrumentation," Riley says.
Rosetta General Manager Yelena Shevelenko says the agreement is in line with both companies' commitment to provide flexible and interoperable software platforms for their customers.
"Collaboration with instrument vendors is a core strategy for Rosetta Biosoftware. Therefore, the partnership with Waters was a natural fit," Shevelenko says.
The Elucidator system allows users to organize, search for and retrieve raw and processed protein expression data. Users can incorporate organization-specific workflows into customized visual scripts that leverage Elucidator system statistical tools, customer-proprietary algorithms and information in the public domain.
IdentityE incorporates comprehensive peptide ion accounting informatics that visualize and identify peptides and proteins with a multi-layered physicochemical model of protein primary structure. The solution enables proteomics researchers to reference chromatographic retention time, exact precursor and product ion masses, structural significance, biological context and plausible detection of multiple peptides to identify a protein.
Customer response has been strong, as the integrated solution was used in a large number of presented studies at the ASMS conference, Shevelenko says.
"Our goal was to develop a revolutionary software product for proteomics researchers to enable their drug discovery efforts," she says. "We will continue to evaluate how we can collaborate to grow our individual and mutual goals of enabling researchers in the life science and drug discovery arena." DDN

Much of what's been happening in our lives lately hasn't been able to be posted on the blog. However, now that decisions have been made, we're ready to share with the world:
Come July, we'll be leaving this beautiful Caribbean island for a beautiful Mediterranean one!
This was not a decision we came to lightly, but rather through a lot of work!
First, I need to say, though, how much we have loved living on Tortola! It was a little rocky at first perhaps, but we've adjusted quite well to island life with its slower pace and beautiful scenery. I think we've really taken full advantage of our time here, and now that I know we're moving on, I feel I can appreciate it even more.
As much as a part of us really wanted to stay here, we also knew that job searching in the international community is an involved process, and one that would need to be started early if we wanted to have a choice of where we would be for 2013-2014. So, we began the first parts of our job search in September. We knew where we wanted to go, so we began searching through the school web sites of each European international school that we could find. From there we compiled a list of schools we were interested in and began sending emails to introduce ourselves to each school. That meant each email included a personal message to the Head of School, as well as a personalized letter of introduction, our CVs, and a photo. We (read TONY) put in hours and hours of emailing! In October we asked our Heads of School for references in order to update our Search Associates profiles. Search Associates is a company that helps international teacher candidates match up with international schools. It's the same company we used to land our jobs here. Anyway, most of the schools we contacted required a bunch of information with the application (copies of teaching certificates, letters of reference, college transcripts…). Going through Search allowed us to gather that information only once and each school that was registered with them could view our information.
By December our Search profiles were completely up-to-date, and we began to get some feedback from schools. Several said we looked like great candidates, but didn't know about their openings yet, so it was a real waiting game. Each morning we'd receive an email with all the positions that had opened up around the world over the last 24 hours. We'd scour the emails for schools that had both middle school English and upper elementary positions in Europe.
Making this all the more difficult was the fact that Tony had also applied to graduate schools in the US. He'd really like to earn a Doctorate in Educational Leadership and Policy. Doing so would allow him to be a Principal, Head of School, or work for an educational think tank somewhere. He searched and searched and found a few programs that would offer him a full fellowship, including tuition and a living stipend, upon acceptance. The problem was timing. Doctoral fellowships would be awarded mid-March, while job offers would need to be accepted in early February. The discrepancy made for some tense emotions in the Snethen household!
In the end, the offer from the American International School in Cyprus fit with most of our goals for our next job posting, plus it's on an island, which we love! Here are a few of the things we're excited about:
1. We'll still be on an island, so beautiful beaches will be accessible. Now, they won't be 5 minutes down the road anymore, but at least they'll be there. (Cyprus is MUCH bigger than the BVI!)
2. Cyprus was an important part of nearly every great empire, so there is a TON of history there, and lots of ancient ruins. It will be pretty cool to be able to explore what's left of some of the world's most influential ancient civilizations.
3. Cyprus is large enough that it has a major mountain range running through it and there is even a little skiing available in the winter! The hillsides are dotted with old villages and ancient monasteries, so hiking and climbing will definitely be a part of our weekend plans.
4. We'll be living and working in Nicosia, Cyprus' capital city. With a population of around 300,000, it is a proper city, so it will be a very different experience from living in Carrot Bay, BVI!
5. We've also heard great things about the fresh food that's available in Cyprus, not to mention all the travel opportunities. We're already envisioning the trips to Egypt, Italy, and Greece, which will all be within an hour or two flight!
In other good news, we're hoping to be back in Kansas for about a month between locales! I'll keep you posted with any details. And, I hope you'll stay with us as this blog transitions from Caribbean to European!

McKinsey and Co. recently put out a series of online articles that explore the future of packaging. We thought we'd highlight a couple of them for you here today.
McKinsey Interviews WestRock CEO on the Future of Packaging
McKinsey's Nick Santhanam recently spoke with WestRock CEO Steve Voorhees to gain his perspective on the packaging sector and the road ahead.
In the interview, Voorhees reflects on the three primary roles that packaging serves (protecting, promoting, and performing) and shares his belief that the biggest changes have come in the form of performance, which will continue to be the case over the next five to ten years.
Why has performance led the pack?
For one, he credits sustainability (like paper-based packaging) because it's made from renewable and recyclable resources that consumers prefer.
For another, it relates to new technologies embedded in packaging that allow it to do more than just protect products. For instance, the introduction of innovations like the "19 Crimes" wine bottle labels, which animate when used in combination with a smart phone app.
And finally, he credits ongoing R&D efforts that are generating new ways to replace plastic with paper.
To read the full McKinsey interview, including the role that governments and M&A will have on the future of packaging, click here.
Smart Bottles and Edible Boxes?
And in another great packaging article from McKinsey, David Feber, Daniel Nordigården, and Nick Santhanam describe what packaging could look like in 2030.
Milk jugs with sensors?
Personalized wine bottles?
Edible boxes and bags?

In 2010, British celebrity chef, Jamie Oliver, began a movement in America called the Food Revolution. This year Food Revolution Day took place on May 17. With this movement, Jamie teaches a "Better Food Better Life" to millions of people. The foundation aims to change the way people eat by educating every child about food and empowering families with cooking skills, which fights against the epidemic of diet-related diseases.
With the kids about to get out of school, here are a few healthy snacks that you can prepare for them this summer!
*{yogurt pops}*
These yogurt pops are a great alternative to the sugary treats found in your local supermarket. Feel free to mix things up and use different fruits along with the bananas. They are perfect on a hot summer day as a treat or healthy dessert!
{serves 6}
2 small ripe bananas
6 ounces frozen strawberries or 1 cup frozen
2 cups non-fat plain yogurt
2 tablespoons honey
- Peel and slice your banana and put it into
a food processor or blender with the frozen
berries, yogurt and honey. Whiz it up on a
low setting until really smooth.
-Divide the mixture between 6 paper cups
or plastic molds - you want about 4 ounces
in each.
- Place the pops in the freezer for 10
minutes, then gently poke a popsicle stick
into the center of each one.Place back in the
freezer for at least 3 hours, or until frozen
solid (this may work nicely with our Zoku!).
*{sloppy joes}*
Sloppy Joe is an American classic and a kid-favorite! Now you can make it yourself and know exactly what your kids are eating!
{serves 4}
¾ pound lean ground beef or turkey
1 yellow onion, peeled and diced
1 green bell pepper, cored seeded and diced
¾ cup tomato purée
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1½ tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon chile powder
½ 15-ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed freshly ground pepper, to taste
for serving:4 whole wheat hamburger buns or whole wheat wraps
1 cup shredded lettuce
- Put a large sauté pan over a medium head
and crumble in the beef or turkey. Fry until
the meat starts to brown then add the bell
pepper and onion. Continue cooking, stirring
occasionally, until the veggies start to
soften – this should take around 5 to 10
- When the veggies are tender, add the tomato
purée and stir into the meat, then add the
vinegar, brown sugar, honey, mustard and
chile powder to the pan and give everything
a really good stir. Add the beans, season
with salt and pepper, then bring to a boil
and cook until the sauce is nice and thick.
- To serve: pile the Sloppy Joe mix onto the
bottom of a bun or middle of a wrap, top it
with lettuce and close up the sandwich or
roll up the wrap.

There is something very familiar about Falling Red and their explosion of heavy metal soaked with dirty hard and sleaze rock fire, a fusion which wakes up the passions like a merger of Motley Crue with Black Veil Brides and Black Stone Cherry. That aspect though is only a positive in the hands of the UK band which picks up well-trodden and arguably exhausted existing enterprise and brings it back to life in an invigorating and thrilling contagious rampage distinct to themselves. New album Empire Of The Damned is a storming riot of addictive hooks and incendiary grooves thrust into the heart of high octane anthemic and hard hitting rock 'n' roll. There is an eager buzz around the band right now and the album shows exactly why.
The Carlisle band formed in 2007 and has been stirring up audiences earning a strong reputation from almost day one with their renowned and incendiary live performances. Over the past years Falling Red has supported the likes of Sebastian Bach and Steel Panther, to strong acclaim, and sparked further attention with the Hasta La Victoria Siempre EP and 2010 debut album Shake The Faith. With successful headlining tours also under their belt the quartet of vocalist/guitarist Rozey, guitarist Jayde Starr, bassist Dann Marx, and drummer Dave Sanders set about creating and recording their Pledgemusic funded second album with Matt Elliss (The Black Spiders, The 1975), the mastering undertaken by Pete Maher (U2, Rolling Stones, Linkin Park) last year. Consisting of eleven insatiably ravenous and passionate encounters, the release is an anarchic and belligerent blaze of virulent rock infectiousness which easily ignites the senses and emotions.
Opener Time To Rise is a short scene setter, a breeze of melodic guitar behind defiant words which raises its temperature and intensity the further it declares its intent before a closing gentle coaxing makes way for the immediately antagonistic The Devil You Know. Punchy beats and energy charged riffs stalk and stroll through the ears whilst the vocals of Rozey hold a mischief to their fiery tempting. It is not a dramatically imposing and striking track but one which wakes an eager appetite for the album and gives a healthy indication of what is to come. Skilfully presented and fired up with an obvious passion, the song makes an infection clad access into the album.
Its potent invitation is soon put in the shade by the outstanding We Escaped A Cult, the new video single from the band. A radiant drizzle of guitar elegance provides the first breath of the song with skittish percussive invention dancing around its luring as Rozey again picks up strong attention. Soon into its heavy stride the track stomps into the imagination with addiction forging grooves and again openly predacious rhythms but equally with a charm and devilry that leave the emotions alert and enthused to join the action. With a Manson-esque swagger and great anthemic group vocals equally as flirtatious with the passions, the contagion is a masterful and thrilling encounter.
The groove driven Break Me takes little time in stealing its slice of the brewing fixation with the album, the sinew framed romp of taunting rhythms and toxically virulent riffery irresistible with the bass of Marx not for the last time having delicious rapacious savagery to its tone. That lure makes a similar call on the next up Outcast, Marx leading the song into another instantaneous and virulent temptation on the emotions. Shadow cloaked at the start evolving into a melodically flaming blaze of hungry rhythms and bold sonic causticity, the track then takes its allurement up multiple degrees with one of those salacious grooves which street corners were made for. It is a beast of a song with enticing of epidemic proportions as it makes a riotous rival for best song honours.
The exciting stature of the album is continued with Disposable, a twisting and swerving hook driven song with more enjoyable toxic bait than a rat trap, and the title track, though the second of the two takes longer to make its full persuasion. From an accomplished and engaging slow start the song is soon flexing muscle and intensity with passionate melodic and vocal expression to feed intrigue and satisfaction. It does not make the swift union of other songs with emotions even though everything about it sweats craft and enterprise. As suggested given time the track does reveal a depth and strength which is hard to dismiss or avoid as it adds another strong aspect to the album's impressive character.
As The Defiled reminding We Are Reckless and the punk toned rocker No Sanctuary step forward with their irrepressible energy and adventure pleasure is kept at a high even if passions may be less intensively ignited, both nevertheless high octane provocations which still only invite eager attentiveness. The album is certainly stronger in its first two thirds than its last but as the scintillating predatory Lonely Way To Die with its acidic melodies and psyche infecting grooves shows there is still a bruising, exhilarating, and snarling proposition lying in wait to ignite the rioter in us all. Followed by the more predictable yet refreshingly digestible rocker Change For No One, Falling Red brings Empire of the Damned to a vigorous and imaginatively lustful close. The band may have been the rising storm on the radar of a great many but with their new album you can only see the awareness of the whole of the country's rock 'n' roll community finding a greedy attraction towards their recognisable but still original tempestuous musical anarchy.

I have seen and heard people using hypnosis in manipulative ways in many everyday situations. On meetings, at home, at parties. Sometimes they didn't even know it was hypnosis. In this article, I share the tricks of how you can defend others from being manipulated that way.
If you want to learn how to recognize manipulation and protect yourself, download the free ebook "How to Protect Yourself from Subconscious Manipulation in Sales?" here.
As controversial, as it sounds, there can be several unethical uses of hypnosis
Just imagine, you are in a meeting with your colleague. You become aware that your opponent is using hypnosis techniques, like conversational hypnosis or NLP to influence you. If you think it cannot happen, I have to warn you that it is entirely possible, because our brain reacts even to the tiniest subliminal bits of information it gets.
Now, suppose that you have the impression that your colleague is affected.
What do you do?
How can you be sure if he's indeed in a hypnotic trance?
How can you help him " to get out" of that state of mind?
First of all, you need to know that the secret of hypnosis lies in controlling the focus of the person in question, both consciously and subconsciously.
This control can be life-saving if appropriately used or manipulative if used for personal gain.
What are the signs then that your colleague slipped into a hypnotic state without being aware of it?
- First, he directs his focus at the other person on a conscious level.
- His attention is very narrow; you can see it because he pays hardly any attention to other stimuli.
- His meta-communication is very much in line with the metacommunication of your opponent. You might find that he reflects the breathing, moves, and gestures of the other person. That means that the person in question stands in the focus of his subconscious.
- His body might show signs of "surrender." (Maybe there his eyes appear hazy or glassy, his muscles can become softer than usual, the position of his body changes, it can become meek, tense or uncertain, etc. All these signs depend on the person and the situation he is in, but trust your intuition. You will sense a particular change in him. )
- When your colleague answers he uses the words and expressions of your opponent. He tends to repeat them.
- You have the impression (just trust your gut!) that the other party has pulled your colleague into his world.
- You feel that your colleague is no longer controlling his attention, his focus is under the influence of others.
- He can abruptly change his point of view.
- Your colleague might say something that contradicts his previous ideas or beliefs.
In other words, you feel a shift in him.
What can you do in a situation, like that?
First of all, you need to be aware of how subconscious manipulation works. To find out the details, download the free e-book here.
You use essential hypnosis techniques to interrupt the trance state and help your colleague to get back the control over his focus.
There are two approaches
One is based on drastic distraction, while the other one is a softer solution. You decide, which one to use in that particular situation, with that specific person and of course which one suits your personality.
First approach: Sudden interruption
These are general tips. Adjust them to your situation. That way you will get better effects.
- Interrupt by saying or doing something unforeseen, even slightly shocking, (You can, for example, drop your papers, making a sudden noise and distraction. You can spill your glass of water, or you can call your phone – there are apps for fake phone calls, etc.)
- As that happens, turn the attention of your colleague immediately to you. (For example: "Oh, not that! Excuse me! I just got an urgent call. May we have a short break? I have to discuss this with my colleague. John, can I have a word with you?") Be short, be clear and use his name. Emphasize your words with physical contact, for example, tap him on the shoulder.
- Talk to your colleague in private. Explain to him what happened and what methods the other party uses to gain influence. Make him aware of the words and expressions that are manipulative on a subliminal level. Make sure he realizes the importance of what you are saying. Make him aware of the importance of regaining control over his focus.
- He needs to learn to ask himself each time his opponent speaks the following questions: "Why is he saying this?" or "Why does he want me to think about it that way?"
- There can be situations where you can't go out to talk to your colleague. In these cases, you can start interrupting the conversation and slowly take over the talking. To reinforce the original ideas and beliefs of your college, you can use vivid images and emotions. Choose words that you know, have an impact on him. For example: "Remember John, you always tell me just how much you hate taking unnecessary risks? I fully agree with you on that."
- Ask questions that interrupt the speech of your opponent. You can raise unexpected, controversial issues, anything that helps you distract your opponent.
- Each time the other party seeks to evoke emotions by using certain words or vivid images that means they try to trigger subconscious response. Look out for words that corrupt your colleague's sense of safety (Eg: "You should consider investing in our product if you want to avoid…". This is a statement that tries to trigger fear and the sense of insecurity.) You can block that by asking something rational in connection with their offer. Thus you immediately activate the logical mind of your colleague.
Second approach: soft but firm intervention
The second technique is mostly the same, but not so drastic. Remember, you need to turn the focus of your colleague to you and help him to regain control.
- Become more active, take over the lead.
- Interrupt verbally, whenever the opponent uses emotions, visual pictures, suppositions or other techniques in a manipulative way.
- Remind your partner of his original ideas, views.
- Distract him, when you feel he gets under the influence of the opponent.
- Show resistance with metacommunication.
- Get physically between your opponent and your colleague if possible. Use your presence as a barrier.
- Use logical thinking. Ask questions that trigger the critical mind.
- Draw the attention of your colleague on you.
- Make him aware of the distortions or the manipulative approach. Make him doubt the words of the other party.
It is quite disturbing that many sales and marketing methods use NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming) and hypnosis techniques as means of manipulation. It is rarely called by that name, of course, but it is based on the principles of the mind programming. We know that almost everybody wants to influence other people better. Much of this influence is necessary and positive. Some of it is harmful.
To avoid manipulation, it is essential for all of us to learn to control our attention and to understand how our subconscious works. With that, quickly become aware of any manipulative techniques that people use to influence us.
Besides, we learn to use our the most exceptional resource for achieving our goals and unfold our potential.

Meticulously planned, calculated,
Long to feel her skin against my own flesh.
Patiently in dark shadows I waited,
The exhilaration of something fresh,
Like a small trapped bird, thrashing in my hold,
Raspberry lips, I take without question.
On departure, grasp her throat till she's cold,
Still and beautiful, now my possession.
Mine to touch; the dying warmth leaves her skin,
A silent moment that I do treasure,
But my longing returns, my scorching sin,
Nothing compares, nothing like this pleasure.
The light has now died, faded into black,
And I walk away, never to look back.

It Has Changed My Life
By Jody, Saskatchewan, Canada
I'm so grateful for the Spiritual Exercises for the Shariyat, Book One. It gives all who read it and try the spiritual exercises a unique opportunity to move ahead spiritually.
I believe the reason it is so powerful and effective is that most of the exercises have three parts: a quote from the holy book—The Shariyat; the actual spiritual exercise—each one unique; and guidance on what to look for in your outer life—changes being made by the ECK, the Holy Spirit.
Practicing the exercises, a person might gain an insight into a problem, receive divine protection, feel more relaxed with the flow of life, see the coincidences and divine timing happening all around, or experience the ECK-Vidya in the form of Golden-tongued Wisdom or a waking dream. The list of possibilities goes on.
For me personally, the wonder of this book is found on page 61, in a single sentence that has changed my life and brought me into a closer relationship with God. It states simply, "Each time you think of the Mahanta, Soul is in touch with God."
This is the reason I came on the path of ECK in the first place!
Spiritual Exercises for The Shariyat, Book One is available at www.ECKBooks.org and at your favorite online booksellers.

Kick the tires on Game Center
Whenever I start to implement iOS Game Center into a game I'm making, I always remember to have my lucky horseshoe, and cross all of my toes. I feel like just a little bit of magic is needed to make sure everything goes seamlessly when I'm putting Game Center mechanics in, and I don't think I'm alone in that.
The forum is full of questions, concerns and issues that are encountered when folks start to wrestle with the dragon that is iOS Game Center integration. It's a heady game of winner-take-all and leaves ruined wreckages of lives in it's wake.
One or more of the previous comments is completely false, but now, rather than giving yourself a headache trying to figure out the nuts and bolts from scratch, our friendly neighborhood Developer Evangelist Brent Sorrentino has dropped a dynamite shortcut in the forum thread below, in the form of a simple project that has Game Center implemented. With this, you too can master the ways of the iOS-branded social media integration. Head over to the original link to grab it up now.https://forums.coronalabs.com/topic/60889-how-do-i-test-gamecenter-multiplayer/
The building blocks of Lua
What's the best place to start, in any situation? If you said "from the beginning", then head to the front of the class to get the (arguably) most important part of Lua knowledge. Getting for loops squared away, fitting them nicely in your toolbelt between proper use of scope and module creation, could not be more paramount.
Fortunately, the forum, as always, is an endless font of Lua enlightenment from which we can all benefit. In the forum thread below, you're going to see various examples of looping, how one can leverage them for any purpose, and how all of this can relate to you. Click through to the original link below!
Corona server solutions; the Coronium story
Coronium: the very name conjures visions of a holy grail of scalability, ease of deployment, and kitchen sink functionality in the world of third party servers, supporting the varied depth and breadth of Corona app development.
With Develephant on the Corona staff now, it's no surprise that his server technology will get the good ol' spit-shine, and having Perk's resources backing development, I can't be the only one giddy over the awesome stuff that we're going to see come about. To this end, I am suggesting that we all take the time to review the below links, digest what we've seen in the world of Coronium and the current state of their development timeline.
Spoiler alert: I included the Parse forum thread because there is a very important (and I think, fantastic) detail that tells us what is coming down the pike. Check it out, and don't worry, you don't have to thank me.

About 9 inches long, this is one of the most fascinating battery operated tin toys of the era. Circa the 1950's/1960's, it works perfectly - the alarm clock hands spin, the alarm goes off, the baby bear rises, his eyes open, and then stretches out his hands while his mouth opens and he yawns. He then goes back to sleep.
In outstanding condition, the toy was literally found in a Grandmothers' bedroom drawer after she took the big sleep!
You will not find a nicer one.

Psst! Want to know our Derby dining secrets?
LEO's Eats with Robin Garr
Boneless fillets of line-caught Lake Barkley Kentucky catfish in Couvillion's signature dish, catfish Couvillion.
Welcome, Derby visitors!
No, really! I understand that the ubiquitous banners that hang on bar and restaurant windows during this exciting season, welcoming you and hawking industrial beer brands, don't entirely pass the sincerity test. I know, you can reasonably translate them as "Come in heeeere and spend your moneeeey!"
But seriously, we really do mean it. Louisville is never more pretty than it is right now, at the peak of spring; and Louisville is never more exciting than it is during Derby time. This middle-size, middleweight burg that's not quite Southern and not quite Midwestern wants you to see us, enjoy us, and tell us how cool we are. Seriously, welcome!
While we're talking, let me offer you a couple of tips, and I don't mean "Psst, buddy, bet on Number Two to show in the fourth race." No, this is a tip on a different race: the race to get a good table at one of the best restaurants in town.
Now, let's be realistic: If you've got your heart set on hanging out with the high rollers after the Derby, Oaks or Thurby, you're facing heavy competition. Most of the city's top tables, such as 610 Magnolia, Seviche, Proof on Main, Decca, Rye, bar Vetti, Pat's, Bourbons Bistro, Le Moo, Le Chasse, Anoosh Bistro, Fat Lamb, Lilly's, Volare, Varanese and Vincenzo's, for instance, not to mention high-end corporate eateries like Morton's, Jeff Ruby's, and Ruth's Chris, just to name a few, have been fully booked for Derby-week seats for months.
Pretty discouraging, eh? But don't worry. Tip No. 1 is to ignore everything I just said. ...

The development of spiritual qualities is entirely dependent on both the love of God and the fear of God. Many passages from the Writings clarify our understanding of these two essential forces of our spiritual lives. 'Abdu'l-Bahá says:
"For love of God and spiritual attraction do cleanse and purify the human heart and dress and adorn it with the spotless garment of holiness; and once the heart is entirely attached to the Lord, and bound over to the Blessed Perfection, then will the grace of God be revealed.Bahá'u'lláh says:
"This love is not of the body but completely of the soul. And 'those souls whose inner being is lit by the love of God are even as spreading rays of light, and they will shine out like stars of holiness in a pure and crystalline sky. For true love, real love, is the love for God, and this is sanctified beyond the notions and imaginings of men."
"He that seeketh to be a helper of God in this Day, let him close his eyes to whatever he may possess, and open them to the things of God. Let him cease to occupy himself with that which profiteth him, and concern himself with that which shall exalt the all-compelling name of the Almighty. He should cleanse his heart from all evil passions and corrupt desires, for the fear of God is the weapon that can render him victorious, the primary instrument whereby he can achieve his purpose. The fear of God is the shield that defendeth His Cause, the buckler that enableth His people to attain to victory. It is a standard that no man can abase, a force that no power can rival. By its aid, and by the leave of Him Who is the Lord of Hosts, they that have drawn nigh unto God have been able to subdue and conquer the citadels of the hearts of men."Excepts from 'Walking together on the Path of Service'

With Electric, Jack Ingram pulls out everything but the plug
By Brian Baker, June 2002
"That's kind of the point," drawls Jack Ingram of the amped up atmosphere on "Electric." "This is my third major label record and my sixth overall. It's hard to explain...this record just sounds the way I feel. I wanted that to be clear from the start. I wanted that intensity to come through musically."
On those occasions when Ingram backs off from the full frontal sonic assault, the intensity he cherishes and wishes to impart is equally apparent, even in the quieter and more subtle passages. And even though he knew what he wanted going into the sessions for the new album, Ingram had very few preconceived notions about how that might manifest itself.
"I haven't yet gone into make a record where I knew the starting point and the finishing point and what I wanted exactly," says Ingram. "I wanted the music this time around to sound exactly the way I feel, which is intense and analytical and looking at different issues of the human condition. And I wanted to create some type of separation between myself and what is labeled as Texas music, because I think that label is binding somewhat. When people talk about Texas music, my name gets brought up, and part of the way this record sounds goes into how I feel which is trying to look at issues on a little bit deeper level than just beer and Texas. That's not what I do."
What Ingram does do is embrace the true ethic of country music. Whether or not he happens to be adhering to its sonic cornerstones at any given moment is beside the point.
Jack Ingram's desire to make music was born in his exposure to the great country storytellers, everyone from Merle Haggard and Tom T. Hall to Hank Sr. and Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash.
Ingram's normal Houston upbringing set the stage for him to start picking out Willie Nelson tunes on an acoustic guitar while working on his psychology degree from Southern Methodist University. Rather than pursue a career to accompany his diploma, Ingram answered the roadhouse call and began performing around his home state on any open night.
Ingram's tireless work schedule eventually brought him to the studio where he recorded a trio of indie country albums that earned him a rabid audience and the respect of his fans and an increasing number of his musical peers, including Steve Earle, who produced Ingram's fourth album, "Livin' or Dyin'."
The album, released on Universal's Rising Tide imprint, brought Ingram a whole new level of major label attention, and he seemed poised to step up and seize the moment.
But before the album could muster even the slightest bit of momentum, the Seagram's acquisition of Universal forced the elimination of the Rising Tide label, and Ingram was ultimately deleted from the roster.
Fortunately, old friends Charlie and Bruce Robison had signed to Sony's newly formed Lucky Dog label and suggested that someone take a look at Ingram as well. Easily sensing his potential, Lucky Dog signed Ingram almost immediately.
Ingram's Lucky Dog debut, 1999's "Hey You," packed to the rafters with rock-tinged honky tonk and fearless country attitude, was almost universally praised as one of the year's country music highlights, but that critical attention didn't automatically translate into either radio play or sales units.
Although Ingram admits to a certain amount of premeditated deliberation over "Electric's" direction as a means to attract a better radio and retail response, he has clearly never seriously thought in those terms and wasn't about to start with his sixth album.
"On an artistic level, 'Hey You' was a grand success," says Ingram. "It was critically acclaimed. Musicians liked it. My fans liked it. It was a big record for me in my career. The one thing that was missing was widespread sales. So, as an artist and just as a person trying to make the next record, well...you know how we act. When we get praise, we want to do that again. People loved 'Hey You.' From that point of view, you'd think, 'Let's keep on the right path.' But as a guy signed to a record label and wanting to sell records and get label support, you think, 'Should I change? Should I do
things differently because it didn't sell a million copies?' And those were all the thoughts that went into the next step and the next record. And, as has always happened before, I thought about all that stuff and then went in and made my record the way it needed to be made for me."
In the end, Ingram's simplicity and honest work ethic carried the day as he considered his options for "Electric." Even though he felt like he had to consider all of the possibilities beforehand, at his core he knew what the final decision would be.

My 1st strapless bra after going down to a 36gg
Anonymous, 25-02-2019
Although the bra did not fit me, I really liked the design and feel of this bra. I needed it for a special occasion so did not re-order due to timelines of return and reorder. I had ordered one size smaller but should have stuck with my original size of 34F.
Laura, 14-01-2019
Good brand, decent fit. Strapless bras are a difficult buy in any size and shape. For a sale item, I'm pleased by the product.
Carrie-Ann, 03-12-2018
36J, I personally didn't feel supported by the bra once the straps were removed.
Catherine, 22-10-2018
Got this in a 30J, held me in place for the day & felt secure. Worked well as a strapless as I'm not their biggest fan overall

Tolle Passform bei bestellter Grösse 75J Deutsche Grösse 75M. Auch ohne Träger bleibt der BH da sitzen wo er soll
too much gape without straps
Anonymous, 31-07-2018
One of the best strapless bras I have tried. I have a larger chest (34H) so finding a supportive strapless bra, that generally stays put is not that easy! .I also use the multi-way straps with the bra for various outifts and I am really pleased with it..I will note that most of my other bras are a 36G, but I have always sized down in the back when buying strapless bras, and I am glad I did. The 36 would fit, but I don't feel like it would have stayed in place as well as the 34..Also, when I say stays in place - I mean through general day to day activity, and maybe a little dancing - I don't wear it at the gym and I am certainly not doing any cartwheels!.Generally speaking a fab bra!
Chantelle, 24-07-2018
So happy with my product fits perfectly.
Anonymous, 11-07-2018
Size: 32J. Never thought I would find a strapless bra that would actually work for me. I'll probably use it more with the optional straps, but it's nice to know I can wear it either way. The cups are true to size and the band is a bit tight, but I think that's good for a strapless and it could stretch out a bit over time. If you like looser bands then definitely adjust your size. Got this in 2 colours and love both. Amazing support.
Anonymous, 05-07-2018
Great fit and gave a good finish under clothing. Full cup with no pinching and great hold for a strapless bra for a fuller bust.
Janka, 03-07-2018
Talla perfecta, aunque sin tirantes en mi talla es imposible llevar.
Krsna-Jivani, 06-06-2018
he sizes are very off. I attempted to take it back to the post office to exchange it and they said the address given was not enough to mail the package out of the country. I have emailed customer service twice since then and haven't heard back to help me send the exchang

Finally a strapless that doesn't slip!
Marketa, 21-04-2018
DIdnt receive this one, only a refund. So I dont know anything about this bra.

Good, but a little big in the cup, and a tighter band than usual.
Tracey, 27-12-2017
Didn't feel as supported as the the Lepel bra so returned without wearing
karina, 08-12-2017
I wear a 36H, this bra is true to size, nice construction and material but can't exactly do a cartwheel in it (wasn't expecting to either) but it's a bit of false advertising. I do like the shape and it's comfortable, enough support for a strapless, better that the Freya deco I have.
Anjola, 30-11-2017
Great Bra. It offers excellent support. Very true to size.
Anonymous, 30-10-2017
Not very well suited to larger bust, too small for me

Pretty, solid and functional -- I am all good to go!
Britz, 08-01-2017
This bra runs super big! I ordered a size down and I still can't wear it. You can tell it would be a nice bra if it could fit. So disappointed

Lovely bra but a bit too robust for me

Weird fit, cup size too big
Sophie, 20-09-2016
My new favourite strapless bra... the vertical seams in this bra are perfect for shaping larger cup sizes.
Natalia, 25-07-2016
Sadly the shape of the bra did not suit my body, so I had to return it.
catherine, 06-06-2016
Best fitting strapless bra i've had backwise, slightly big in the cup but i feel going down a cupsize would then be too small.

Barbara Lancaster
2015 - Spirit Award
Good friends introduced Barbara Lancaster to Rock The Roof at the Roof Garden in Arnolds Park in the summer of 2005. It only took one time to get her hooked again on the rock 'n' roll music she says she loved as a teenager. Barbara hasn't missed a Rock The Roof concert since that summer.
"Doris Welle writes a column for the Dickinson County News called 'Campus Hotline.' In reading Doris' column one day, the name of Dr Bill Rauhauser jumped out at me," Barbara said. "Bill and I were childhood friends. I had lost touch with him for many years so I called Doris to see if she knew how to get in touch with Bill. I mailed him a picture of us as children with a note that said 'if this is you, call me' and he did. I met Bill and his wife Carol at the next Rock The Roof."
Lancaster's volunteer career and Lifetime Membership with the Iowa Rock 'n Roll Music Association began when Rauhauser suggested that volunteers were needed at the IRRMA Museum. As a museum volunteer she became involved with many museum projects, as well as being on the Museum Advisory Board, and the Induction Committee.
"As a volunteer at Rock The Roof in 2006, I began taking pictures just for fun," she stated. "I shared copies of my photos with John Senn, who then asked me to be IRRMA's official photographer for Rock The Roof and other events in our Northwest Iowa area."
Nine years and approximately 12,000 photos later, she is still doing a volunteer job she loves. The pictures are used on the IRRMA website, in the yearbooks, flyers and posters, as well as preserving our history in photos to help retain the legacy of Rock 'n' Roll in Iowa.
"Meeting a lot of great new friends, as well as seeing classmates and friends I hadn't seen in years at Rock The Roof is an added bonus to being a volunteer for IRRMA," Barbara declared. "The IRRMA volunteers are a great group of people to work with. The Iowa RockNRoll Music Association is like a big family with one common interest. We all love rock 'n' roll music and dancing to it."
Barbara's photos and endless hours of work preserving and distributing them to all types of media is the essence of the Spirit Award as she is preserving the history of music in Iowa for generations to come. Congratulations and a huge thank you for preserving those memories for IRRMA!

Hu Huiyuan, who lives the AnHui Province in China, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy when she was a few months old and has little mobility, CNR reported, according to a CCTV Facebook post.
"About the only thing she could really move was her head and her foot, but she was incredibly determined," her father, Peng, told Central European News.
The 21-year-old has learned to perform many tasks with her left foot, including typing with her toes, the outlet reported. The skill has allowed her to begin writing a novel, of which she's already completed six chapters -- a total of 60,000 words.
"I'm not a genius but I'm very focused," she told a local TV station, according to Fox News. "When you have a disability like this, you have to learn patience."
To type, Hu is fastened to a wheelchair with a belt to stabilize her as she's using her foot, Central European News reported. It's no easy task, though the 21-year-old, who types 20 to 30 words a minute, says she's always had a determined spirit. Though she was unable to attend school in her village, due to her disability, she taught her self how to read and write.
"When I watched TV in my childhood, I learned new words with the subtitles," Hu told CNR, according to CCTV's Facebook post.
Hu has two more chapters to write before her book is complete. Portions of the novel have already been released online, and the reception, so far, has been positive.

Posted On December 08, 2017
Mortgage rates trended slightly downward this week ahead of next week's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. On Saturday, the Senate approved their version of the tax reform bill. Both new purchase and refinance mortgage applications increased. The ADP employment report increased, but slightly less than last month. Consumer credit expanded to one of the highest levels all year.
For the week ending 12/1, the Mortgage Bankers Association's (MBA) weekly mortgage application survey turned around, with increases in both new purchase and refinance applications. New purchase applications were unchanged at a rate of 2%, and refinance applications improved 9% after last week's 8% decline. The composite index increased 4.7%. Mortgage rates did not change drastically this week, and many home buyers and homeowners may be looking to lock rates before the expected rate hike later this month.
The ADP employment report showed the addition of 190,000 private-sector jobs in November. Small businesses added 50,000 jobs, midsize businesses added 99,000, and large businesses added 41,000. Gains were driven by the service sector, followed by manufacturing. Moody's Analytics chief economist Marky Zandi predicted, "we are very likely to have a sub-4% unemployment rate as we move into 2018."
Consumer credit expanded in October, the highest level in 11 months. Total consumer increased 6.5% year-over-year to a level of $20.5 billion. Revolving credit, like credit card borrowing, increased 9.9% in October, up from September's 7.3% gain. Non-revolving credit, like car and student loans, increased at a rate of 5.3%, down slightly from September's 5.7% gain. The boost in revolving credit could be attributed to holiday shopping.
Tax reform was one of the most discussed topics in the financial world this week. The House of Representatives and the Senate will go to conference on their respective tax reform bills to try and create one version to send to President Trump. With low unemployment, and inflation nearing the Fed's target rate, the FOMC is expected to raise interest rates next week, after its final meeting of the year.

Audiobook Summary:In honor of Black History Month, Audible is proud to offer a collection of superb original recordings featuring some of the most influential voices in African-American history. American RadioWorks presents Say It Plain: A Century of Great African-American Speeches The visceral impact of history's great speechmakers is at the heart of Say It Plain . This new American RadioWorks documentary highlights a selection of landmark sermons, speeches, and broadcasts by remarkable Africa-American speakers. Say It Plain delves into a vibrant tradition of African-American oratory that connects figures as different in style and ideology as Booker T. Washington and Marcus Garvey, Shirley Chisholm and Julian Bond. It's a vivid portrait of black Americans exhorting the nation to make good on its democratic promises. Mandela: An Audio History Mandela: An Audio History tells the story of the struggle against apartheid through rare sound recordings, the voice of Nelson Mandela himself, as well as those who fought with him, and against him. Thurgood Marshall: Before the Court In 1967, Thurgood Marshall became the first African American appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

This project traces Marshall's life as a lawyer and justice. Remembering Jim Crow For much of the 20th century, African-Americans endured a legal system in the American South that was calculated to segregate and humiliate them. Major funding for American RadioWorks. is provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. American RadioWorks is the documentary project of American Public Media.
