The Ministry of Health and World Health Organization has denied media reports of Ebola outbreak in western Uganda.
The ministry revealed on Wednesday evening that ' 'Two samples received from Kabale Regional Referral Hospital today at the Uganda Virus Institute for two suspect VHF cases have both tested negative for Ebola , Marburg, CCHF , RVF and Sosuga Viruses.''
In a tweet, the World Health Organazation Uganda said ' ' We refer to @XHNews story on Ebola in Uganda. We would like to clarify that there is no confirmed case of Ebola in Uganda. There are alerts due to the heightened surveillance, which are investigated as they are detected. And we will continue to get them.''
On Wednesday, Quoting World Health Organization (WHO), Xinhua reported that three suspected cases of Ebola had been registered in the western Uganda's Kasese district.
The WHO in a statement on Tuesday said two of the suspected cases are from neighboring eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), where the viral hemorrhagic fever has already broken out, leaving 41 people dead.
The third was a pregnant woman who died at a hospital.
The global heath body said samples from the suspected cases have been taken to the Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI) for laboratory tests.
"Two of the alert cases from DRC are alive. They were identified at the Mpondwe screening point with temperatures above 37.9 and 38.8 respectively, the latter also had a headache," said the statement.
WHO said the third alert case involved a pregnant woman who died at Kaganda hospital due to ante-partum haemorrhage.
"Use of theater where the patient was operated stopped until it is properly disinfected and the body has been retained in Kaganda hospital pending arrangements for safe burial," said the statement.
The Ebola virus is highly contagious and can cause a range of symptoms including fever, vomiting, diarrhea, generalized pain and in many cases internal and external bleeding.
Mortality rates of Ebola fever, according to WHO, are high, with the human case-fatality rate ranging from 50 percent to 89 percent, depending on viral sub-type.

Temat postu: He scored nine points for Houston during
ST. LOUIS -- Chicago Cubs closer Jose Veras stumbled first. Then it was Trevor Rosenthals turn to fail -- at the plate and on the mound. Welington Castillo hit a three-run homer in the 11th inning off the St. Louis closer, who struck out with an unusual chance to win it, and the Cubs beat the Cardinals 6-3 on Friday night. "I know he throws really hard," Castillo said. "So I just waited for something over the plate that I can drive, and I put my best wood on it." The Cardinals tied it with two runs in the ninth and had runners on first and second with two outs in the 10th when manager Mike Matheny decided against a pinch hitter. Rosenthal (0-1) took a called third strike in his second career at-bat and said he didnt carry any disappointment back to the mound. "Uh no, because I mean, Im not here to hit," Rosenthal said. "So its easy to kind of brush it off and just go out there and try to have another shutdown inning." Nate Schierholtz doubled for his fourth straight hit leading off the 11th and advanced on a sacrifice. Starlin Castro was intentionally walked and Ryan Kalish popped out on a bunt attempt before Castillo lined a 1-1 fastball 426 feet to left for his second homer. "I figured he might be hunting for a fastball," Rosenthal said. "Looking at the video, I didnt get it up quite as much as Id hoped, but he put a good swing on a good pitch. "Not much you can do about it." Justin Grimm (1-0) walked Matt Holliday and Matt Adams on eight pitches to start the 10th but got out of it, partly because Matheny left Pete Kozma and Tony Cruz on the bench. Grimm struck out Yadier Molina and got Shane Robinson to fly out before facing Rosenthal. Matheny said hed have batted Kozma with less than two outs. He also banked on another shutdown inning from Rosenthal, who needed just six pitches in the 10th. "Youve got a real good feeling hes going to bring us back in with another zero," Matheny said. "We had two shots at getting the guy in from second." Hector Rondon finished for his first career save. Veras hit two batters and walked another in the ninth. One run scored on a passed ball by Castillo, helping the Cardinals score twice in the inning. Matt Carpenters bases-loaded sacrifice fly tied it at 3. Veras has blown both his save chances and has allowed five earned runs in 3 2-3 innings with three hit batters and seven walks. "A shaky outing," Cubs manager Rick Renteria said, "but hes still our guy." Chicago starter Jeff Samardzija worked seven economic innings for the third straight start, exiting with a 1.29 ERA. He finally got some runs to work with, but was denied a win for the ninth straight outing since Aug. 24 at San Diego. "You keep pitching and giving your team a chance to win," Samardzija said. "Everyone is trying to do their jobs and sometimes balls find holes, and sometimes they dont." Ryan Sweeneys RBI single off Carlos Martinez tied it in the seventh and was the Cubs first run in 21 innings when Samardzija starts. Anthony Rizzos sacrifice fly off Kevin Siegrist snapped a tie in a two-run eighth. Cubs pinch hitters were 1 for 18 before the eighth inning when Justin Ruggiano, batting for Samardzija, singled off Martinez, and Mike Olt, batting for Luis Valbuena, singled off Siegrist. Molinas RBI single in the second was his 10th hit in 18 career at-bats against Samardzija. He had two hits and is batting .455 (25 for 55) with three homers and 17 RBIs against the Cubs the last two seasons. Cardinals starter Joe Kelly allowed an unearned run in six innings. He faced the minimum through the first five innings with the help of two double-play balls. NOTES: The Cubs appeal of a hit by pitch call on Allen Craig in the ninth was denied. ... Castro got a strange assist at SS in the fourth when he staggered and dropped Hollidays towering popup with a runner on first. The ball rolled directly to second baseman Emilio Bonifacio for a forceout as Kolten Wong slid back into first. ... Adam Wainwright (1-1, 1.29 ERA) faces Carlos Villanueva (1-2, 4.26) on Saturday. ... Kelly has pitched at least five innings in all 31 career starts, the longest streak by a St. Louis starter 25 or younger since 25-year-old Dizzy Dean went 35 in a row in 1935, according to STATS. ... St. Louis SS Jhonny Peralta was hitless in three at-bats before coming out in a double switch and is 2 for 31 (.063) on the season, both home runs.

. Chelsea ripped apart Hull inside 25 minutes at Stamford Bridge, with the early goals from Oscar and Frank Lampard securing a 2-0 victory. While Lampard had earlier missed a penalty, Roberto Soldado had no such trouble from the spot for Tottenham, scoring on his debut to clinch a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace. HOUSTON -- When DeMarcus Cousins picked up two fouls in the first 6 minutes against Houston, it looked as if it could be a tough night for the Sacramento centre. Cousins was able to shake off the early foul trouble and took over late in the fourth quarter to lift the Kings to a 110-106 victory over the Rockets on Tuesday night. Rudy Gay had 25 points to help in the victory. The Kings trailed by three points before Cousins scored four quick points to make it 105-104. He then stole the ball from James Harden and passed to Ben McLemore for an easy layup. On the next play, Cousin took a charge from Harden to give the Kings the ball back. "DeMarcus has proven and shown many times that hes willing to give up his body in key situations," Sacramento coach Michael Malone said. "To see him do that, to be in the right spot to give his body up and give us an extra possession is big-time. He had a great game." Cousins admitted that he gets a little too excited to face marquee players like Dwight Howard. "I was so antsy, I was so pumped to play well," he said. "I guess you could say that got me in foul trouble." The late comeback ruined a big night by Harden, who finished with a season-high 38 points and had 10 rebounds and two steals. "The first half we were sluggish we didnt play with any energy," Harden said. "The second half we played a lot harder (but) we cant keep coming up short and coming out with these slow first halves." Gay has scored at least 20 points in seven of his 10 games since being traded from Toronto. Cousins had 17 points, 16 rebounds and four steals, and Marcus Thornton added 15 points. Isaiah Thomas scored six straight points for Sacramento to give the Kings a 101-100 lead with 2:39 remaining. That spurt was capped by his only 3-pointer to extend his streak of 24 straight games with at least one 3-pointer, which is the fourth-longest streak in team history. He had 17 points and 10 assists. A dunk by Terrence Jones and a jump shot by Harden put Houston back up 104-101 before Cousins went to work.dddddddddddd Howard had 15 points and eight rebounds for Houston, and Jeremy Lin added 14 points and six assists. "We shouldnt have let them stick around," Howard said. "We allowed that to happen and they played with confidence in the second half, they hit shots and they got a good win." Houston coach Kevin McHale cant figure out why his team struggles to play consistently. "Weve played some poor games and this was another," he said. "It doesnt feel like were in much of a rhythm." The game was tied when Harden took over, scoring six of the points in an 8-1 run to give Houston a 98-92 lead with 5 minutes left. He capped it with a 3-pointer with rookie McLemore right in his face and held up three fingers on each hand as the crowd went wild. Cousins made a dunk which he was fouled on to cut Houstons lead to 88-84 with about 9 1/2 minutes remaining. He slipped after the dunk and remained face down on the court laughing for a few seconds before getting to his feet and missing the free throw. His dunk was part of a 10-2 run that tied it at 90 with 7 minutes left. Quincy Acy gave Sacramento a one-point lead with a layup with about 3 minutes left in the third quarter. The Rockets regained the lead with a 10-3 run to end the quarter and make it 86-80. Sacramento had a 60-52 lead early in the third quarter before Harden got hot. He scored nine points for Houston during a 15-7 spurt that put the Rockets up 67-65. Jason Thompson received a technical after that for a clear path violation when he pushed Harden in the back on a fast break. Harden finished the play after the whistle with a one-handed dunk before making one of two free throws. NOTES: Houston C Omer Asik missed his 15th straight game with thigh and knee injuries. ... Sacramento has scored at least 100 points in its last seven games. ... All of Houstons starters have scored in double figures in the last two home games. ' ' '

There's A Pest in the Garden
First sentence: Munch munch. There's a pest in the garden! He's eaten ALL the beans! Gulp. What's that PEST going to eat next? Quack? CORN! But corn is my favorite!
Premise/plot: There's a PEST in the garden. Duck and his friends can just stand by and watch as their garden disappears before their eyes. Or is there something they can do to stop the pest?! Duck has an idea--but it's an idea that comes with a price. I won't spoil how Duck "saves" the garden from the pest. I won't enter into discussion on if his save-the-garden plan is actually saving the garden either. But I will say it's FUN.
My thoughts: I really enjoyed this new early reader by Jan Thomas. I do wish some of Duck's other friends were part of the series. (No cow or chicken. But the sheep, the dog, and the donkey are there). I would definitely recommend the series to families.

Remember Unearthing Mars? It was a bizarre little sci-fi game that released on PlayStation VR (PSVR) early last year. I wrote a pretty short review about it because there was so little to talk about in its two-hour running time. Well, it's getting a surprise sequel next month that looks decidedly more shooty.
Unearthing Mars 2: The Ancient War hits PSVR on September 18th with full support for Sony's Aim controller. Picking up after the events of the first game (which, as I predicted in my review, I've now completely forgotten), you're tasked with gunning down a hostile alien force that has surfaced on the red planet. Whereas the last game featured different gameplay mechanics like driving and puzzle-solving, developer Winking Entertainment says that this one is going to be completely focused on first-person shooter (FPS) action.
Check out the first trailer for the game below.
Here's hoping that the singular focus for this installment leads to an all-around better game. The brief wave shooting section in the first Unearthing Mars was at least pretty polished, and the slow-motion mechanics at play in the trailer suggest the developer is taking a considered approach to combat this time.

Sir Hilary Beckles recently launched his new book, Cricket without a Cause: Fall and Rise of the Mighty West Indies Test Cricketers (2017), hosted by the British Foundation of UWI (BFUWI) and the Ramphal Institute in London. Debbie Ransome (Caribbean Intelligence) reviews:
Everybody has an opinion on the rise and fall of West Indies cricket. But few can place this in a historical perspective, linking the ebb and flow of the regional team's success to the waxing and waning of the Caribbean's broader prospects and aspirations. This is what University of the West Indies (UWI) Vice-Chancellor Prof Sir Hilary Beckles sets out to do in his new book, Cricket Without a Cause: Fall and Rise of the Mighty West Indies Test Cricketers.
[. . .] A historian by education, Barbadian by birth, educator and leader by passion, Prof Beckles's historical but pragmatic approach to charting the development of the Caribbean psyche is best known for his arguments on reparations for slavery.
His perspective has gained the attention of many in the Caribbean, its diaspora and in Africa, as it has moved on the age-old argument from "Four hundred years of slavery – you owe us" to a global movement with facts, historical analysis and a price tag for reparations.
In similar fashion, Prof Beckles has used his practical application of history's lessons to help power the recent drive and focus of the current West Indies team. It is no coincidence that nine members of the current West Indies team are former UWI students. Not only were they plucked from young schoolboy cricketing potential to study at UWI, but they were also schooled regularly in what Prof Beckles calls "reconnecting" with a past UWI ethos to understand why West Indies cricket goes beyond cricket.
Prof Beckles, who lobbied for the West Indies Cricket Academy and served for a short time on the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB), outlines how he and his university team set out to "start to build a whole new cadre" of cricketers who, he said, understand the need for a "rescue strategy for Caribbean society".
Prof Beckles charts three periods for the rise and fall of West Indies cricket. It began with what he called a 30-year apprenticeship in the 1890s as part of a North American cricket league. Then came a 20-year apprenticeship while playing at the invitation of the British-based Imperial Cricket Council in the early part of the 20th Century.
Along the way came the periods that all fans of West Indies cricket celebrate: the 1958 ascendancy of Frank Worrell's team, the second rising from 1966 to 1968 of the Gary Sobers "superstar" team era and, of course, the 1976-78 period of Clive Lloyd's world champions side.
Prof Beckles portrays the ups and downs of West Indies cricket as linked to cracks in West Indies society itself. First, there was the collapse of the West Indies Federation, which allowed Frank Worrell to become a "Caribbean president" in the absence of regional political unity after the 1950s. Then, the emergence of Caribbean/West Indian pride as a result of the 1960s/70s movements in the Caribbean, including independence and black power, fuelled another "rise" in society at large, reflected in cricketing success.
[. . .] Prof Beckles provides an analysis that also gives us a narrative for the decline of West Indies cricket over the last 20 years.
He points to a period of "rot", during which International Monetary Fund (IMF) programmes led to the "destruction of the nation state". He recalls a conversation with then ailing former Jamaican leader Michael Manley, who referred to this change as the "crack in the wall".
A state no longer serving and supporting its citizens and turning a blind eye to official abuse and misuse of power provides the basis for what Prof Beckles calls "youth critique" – a generation of young Caribbean people who say, "Show me the contract," rather than, "I would be proud to represent my country and region."
From this perspective, Prof Beckles makes it clear that he set out to understand, rather than condemn, the players of the 1998team who stood up Nelson Mandela to haggle from a London hotel with the WICB over salaries.
This narrative also allows him to contrast that event with Michael Holding turning down $1m to play in apartheid South Africa, calling it a "mess of potage" with the "stars" of the 1990s whose ethos seemed to be "let the light shine on me".
Prof Beckles also points out how hard it would have been for young cricketing stars to identify with the cricketing heroes of their immediate past who were living under the threat of poverty. He points the blame at a West Indian people who failed to give their 1970s stars their just reward, leaving the next generation to choose to seek wealth and fame over becoming heroes. This focus on contracts left a West Indies team choosing from the best "available" players, rather than the best players in the region, unlike most other global sides.
Following this narrative, Prof Beckles returns to the work behind the current team and the role of education, leadership training and perspective for Jason Holder and the new-look Windies side. "What had driven Caribbean cricket had been a determination to… create a space for ourselves in modernity," Prof Beckles told his London audience. [. . .]

You are in the perfect place.
This is what you know right now:
- You DONT WANT rubbishy health or FLC (Feel Like Crap)
- You DONT WANT tiredness, exhaustion and feeling overweight.
- You DON'T WANT to take pills for the rest of your life
- You DON'T WANT to suffer, not really knowing or understanding why your health, energy and vitality are struggling.
So the next question is WHAT DO YOU WANT?
Really. Honestly. Truly deep down from the bottom of your heart.
Let me paint you a picture:
- Imagine you wake up every morning feeling light and refreshed
- Imagine you leap out of bed, feeling invigorated and full of energy.
- Imagine your body is flexible and responsive, with no aches stiffness or pain
- Imagine you are excited about your day ahead, because your life is spot on in terms of what invigorates, excites and inspires you.

- Imagine you have such health and vitality that life feels easy and light.
- Imagine you feel beautiful from the inside out.
- Imagine you feel powerful
- Imagine you fall back in love with your life and you are no longer stuck, but free, alive and vibrant.
So are you ready to get to work?
In a functional medicine consultation we aim to diagnose what is going on and create a treatment plan, just like in conventional medicine, but with a difference!
I look at the root cause behind what is going on.
Coaching work is very powerful. I look at the practical implementation of nutritional, physical, mental and emotional strategies to get results and HOW you can do this with confidence and success. So often we know something is a good idea, but translating it into everyday reality is a whole other thing!
This package has it all: the full functional medicine consultation where we establish the diagnostics and create a personalised treatment plan AND the support of coaching to give you the structure and guidance to put the natural treatments into place, so they truly work for you, in the context of your life.
I was diagnosed with high cholesterol and my GP told me I had to start taking statin medication and that I would probably be on it for the rest of my life. I didn't want that and when I heard about Dr Margriet, and that she works with nutrition to help people, I booked to go and see her.
We spent almost 2 hours together and she explained about a new way of eating that would help lower my cholesterol. She gave me a whole bunch of information to take away, including ideas for recipes and meal plans that I could try.
I was determined, as I really didn't want to take medication.
I found it a completely new way of eating and looking at food. It opened my eyes.
It took some effort to learn about this new way of eating, but once I got started it became easier. Breakfast was the hardest thing to change. I used to eat cereals, milk and bread – all the things which are not good for me! That took a rethink and I now eat beans in tomato sauce, omelettes, and occasionally some homemade bread,
For the first 3 months I was very strict with myself. But it was worth it. My energy improved loads, I lost 1 ½ stone in weight from around my middle, which is where I needed to lose it, and when I went back to the GP my cholesterol had come down 2 whole points, so I no longer needed to go onto statins. I was over the moon!
Since then I have gone onto more of a maintenance version, which I find really enjoyable and easy to manage. Sometimes I allow myself the 'treats' that I cut out like a cake or a biscuit, but I find these things just taste so sugary it is almost unpleasant. So now I don't need to use my will power so much, it has really become a way of life. I don't think I will ever look at food in the same way again.
I really feel that my body and my health are so much happier eating this way, and I plan to keep this as the lifestyle for me.
I would recommend this work to anyone. It is the way for the future. With this programme you will feel healthier, happier, lose weight and get your energy boosted. I can't recommend this highly enough. I wish all doctors worked like this.
Amanda Wainwright, SuffolkAmanda Wainwright
Still not sure?
Its quite normal to have questions! Ask away, but here are some of the things people often ask me.
Its a lot of money!
Ok, so let me ask you this: how much money did you spend on your last holiday? On your car? Or if you added up all the money you've spent on books, equipment, courses and you're still struggling…
We all resist spending money that is 'just for me'. Because we are ace at telling ourselves ' I don't deserve this'. We happily give stuff to other people: our time, money, energy, attention. You name it, we give it away without so much as a second glance. But when we think about spending that kind of money on ourselves we run for the hills!
And think about this: what is it costing you to stay stuck in this place? What is it costing you because you don't have the energy to go for that promotion, or go self-employed and live your dream life? What is it costing you in clothes every time you diet and then put all the weight back on again. Oh, and what about those gym memberships…Yes, Ive been there!!
Don't worry. Its quite normal to feel all of these things. I know I did. But I do know that having invested in my health, it has opened up my life again.
I don't have time
Someone once told me this:"If you don't make time for your health now, you will have to make time for being ill later". That sounded so depressing, but it holds a truth. And it echoes with what we just said: we are so good at giving our time away, and feel guilty when we say no to others and spend that time on ourselves for a while.
"No, Margriet, you don't understand, I really don't have time"
Got it. So my question to you is this: If you don't do it now, then when are you going to sort things out? Because your body is really letting you know it needs something else.
What if I can't do it?
My clients usually admit to this a few sessions into the programme!! "I was so worried that I couldn't do it, that it would be too hard". But then they tell me how proud they are of what they have already achieved and how excited they are about what is ahead. They felt exactly like you do now.
The thing in coaching is, its all about YOU. We start where you are, and we go at your pace. Its not about you obediently following a preset programme, it is about what YOU need, and we go from there.

Tritton ready to take on the Kiwis
by Michael Guerin
Aussie challenger Shane Tritton has learned a valuable lesson about taking on New Zealand's best at tomorrow's Harness Jewels --- don't try and be a Kiwi.
Tritton and his wife (and stable driver) Lauren train two of the five Australians at tomorrow's huge meeting at Cambridge, with both Platinum Revolution (race one) and Pete's Big Jim (race six) drawn the ace.
Which is exactly what the Trittons wanted and an advantage they will not be giving away.
"I have learned from campaigning horses like Salty Robyn at the Jewels before and having Suave Stuey Lombo at the NZ Cup meeting," admits Shane Tritton.
"We have come over here and tried to race like the Kiwis, almost been fooled into it.
"With Salty Robyn at the Jewels at Ashburton we handed up to one of Mark Purdons, and I still regret it because you are not going to beat him doing that.
"We have to race the way we know best and that is to try and outstay them and get them out of their comfort zone.
"So we came here this time hoping for draws that we could do that from, to be masters of our own destiny, and we have got them. So we are going to use them."
Tritton's horses are well-known for their catch me if you can tactics and just a few months ago he declared a comparative outsider in Anything For Love would lead and run against powerhouses like Soho Tribeca in a Miracle Mile prelude.
He did and won his way into the Mile in typical Tritton fashion so his pre-race bravado tends to not be just hot air.
His best chance tomorrow looks to be Platinum Revolution, a horse co-bred by the voice of Addington, Mark McNamara.
She has good gate speed and is aided by the two All Stars big guns in the race, Princess Tiffany and Kayla Marie being drawn wide, meaning it should take them at least until the 1000m mark to get outside Platinum Revolution and apply any real pressure.
"She is a better filly than people realise and Mark Purdon's pair, and the rest of them, are going to need to be good to run past her." Pete's Big Jim meets opposition of more depth and doesn't have the same sparkling formline but has only been with Tritton for the last two weeks.
"He has improved a bit coming from a smaller stable and he will fly the gate. He trialled in 1:53 at Menangle last week and if this race was there on Saturday he would pace 1:52.
"Whether the others in this race can go that quick, I don't know." The answer is, judging on previous years, probably yes, with Jesse Duke maybe the horse peaking at the right time.
Tritton says winning in the Australian green Jewels colours would be a career highlight for Lauren and me.
"We probably have more respect for the Kiwi horses and industry than just anybody in Australia and about 90 per cent of our horses are from over here.
"So to come over here and show everybody we can train with the best of them would mean the world to me."

Samuel Clemens rode into Virginia City, Nevada Territory, in late 1862 with the idea of writing for the Territorial Enterprise, while Mark Twain rode out in May 1864, having formulated a writing style and an identity that would last a lifetime.
Two schools of scholarship debate the question of how and why Clemens took his famous nom de plume, Mark Twain, 150 years ago. Did it come from his early riverboat years or his saloon days?
In the early 1870s, Twain declared the pen name came from his Mississippi riverboat years. A reading of mark twain meant two fathoms of water, barely safe, but the boat could continue toward deeper water. Twain supplied a reasonable explanation; he said he "laid violent hands upon" the pen name after the death of riverboat Capt. Isaiah Sellers, who had used it in writing up riverboat news. However, Sellers was still alive in early 1863 (he died on March 6, 1864), when Clemens pilfered the name. The first recorded usage of it appeared in a letter Clemens had written to the editors of the Territorial Enterprise, which was published on February 3, 1863.
The Sellers story was accepted and published in Twain's biography by Albert Bigelow Paine in 1912. In 1938, in Mark Twain's Western Years, historian Ivan Benson questioned the story, stating "…there was 'no original Mark Twain' other than Samuel Clemens himself…." He added, "Neither the name Mark Twain nor any single reference to Samuel Clemens occurs in the Sellers Journal…."
Ernest Leisy, writing in 1942 for American Literature, added to the case. He researched New Orleans newspapers and found no use of the alias "Mark Twain." Both Leisy, from examining relevant newspapers, and Benson, from reading the Sellers log book, reached the same conclusion; the name Mark Twain was not in use during Clemens's riverboat years.
But Clemens loved pen names. He had burlesqued a Sellers letter in the New Orleans Daily Crescent in 1859, signing it Sergeant Fathom. Leisy ended his article with the idea that Clemens's "choice of the name 'Fathom' gave rise in his mind to the term used for the water sounding Mark Twain, and that only in this remote, indirect way was he indebted to the redoubtable Isaiah Sellers."
Effie Mona Mack, in 1947, brought scholarly attention to a curious memory from Nevada's Eureka Daily Sentinel. In 1877, the Sentinel's editor, George Cassidy, had characterized Clemens as a bohemian during his Virginia City days. He and other lesser-known writers had frequented John Piper's B Street one-bit saloon. Recalling Clemens's habit of having Piper mark drink orders on a chalkboard behind the bar, the editor said the writer ordered two drinks at a time, which inspired the name Mark Twain, from mark in two. Cassidy was a well-respected newspaperman whose stated reason for making the comment was to elaborate on Twain crediting the nom de plume to his riverboat days. Cassidy found Twain's story "too thin," or incomplete. Within weeks of Cassidy's claim, the Daily Alta California printed Clemens's strong rebuke of the story, which affirmed his debt to Sellers for the pen name.
Cassidy did live in the Virginia City area during the time Twain wrote for the Territorial Enterprise. Paul Fatout, in Mark Twain in Virginia City, believed Cassidy's story to be true and found additional support for a saloon origin in another newspaper.
An 1866 Nevada City, California, Transcript article stated Clemens took his "regular drinks" at Johnny Doyle's saloon. "Well, 'Mark,' that is Sam, d'ye see, used to run his face, bein' short of legal tenders." He "…used to take two horns consecutive, one right after the other, and when he come in there and took them on tick, Johnny used to sing out to the barkeep, who carried a lump of chalk in his pocket and kept the score, 'mark twain,' whereupon the barkeep would score two drinks to Sam's account—and so it was, d'ye see, that he came to be called 'Mark Twain.'"
Although Fatout placed a different Johnny Doyle in Dayton, Nevada Territory, in 1863 and placed this John E. "Johnny" Doyle in a Virginia City saloon in 1864, the Sacramento newspapers of the time help untangle the confusion as to which Doyle is being discussed in the Transcript article.
In 1865, John E. Doyle killed a man in self-defense at his own Doyle and Goodman's saloon on C Street, Virginia City, which the Sacramento Daily Union reported on March 14, 1865. The article reminded readers that Doyle was the same well-known barkeep, previously from Sacramento's Magnolia, which Doyle had owned in early 1863. Doyle probably fled Sacramento for Virginia City in 1863, where Doyle's time on the Comstock overlapped that of Clemens's. In all likelihood, the newspaper reports of the Doyle saloon shooting may have stimulated the memory of the "Washoe genius" in the 1866 Transcript.
Another story of Twain's idiosyncrasies of drink came from Thomas Sawyer of San Francisco, a crony of Twain's during his early years in that city. In Black Fire, Robert Graysmith effectively argues that Sawyer was a credible source for his memories of Twain's brief 1860s stay in San Francisco. In an 1898 interview, Sawyer recalled visiting Twain in Virginia City, where the pair frequented Tom Peasley's saloon. One night, barkeep Larry Ryan served them two cocktails. "'Give us two cocktails, Larry'—and such cocktails as them were! U-m, I can taste 'em yet." Ryan mixed them and handed them over the bar, expecting Twain to "ante up." Instead, he stood there and held up two fingers, pointed to the slate and said, "Larry, mark twain." When Ryan told owner Tom Peasley about it in the morning, Sawyer recalled, "Peasley thought it such a good joke that he told all the boys, and after that Sam wuz dubbed 'Mark Twain.'"
What is questionable about Sawyer's recollection is the list of acquaintances he claimed to have met while visiting Twain in Virginia City: "There wuz a set of high rollers there in Virginia City at that time, I can tell you—Bret Harte, Pat Lynch, Sam Davis, Holland of the Enterprise, Tom Fox, Doc Cole and Sam."
"Doc Cole" was a well-known druggist with a long Comstock career beginning in the early 1860s. Pat Lynch was the proprietor of the Niagara Saloon and Dance Hall in 1863 and Tom Peasley, who arrived in Virginia City in early 1860s, owned the Sazerac saloon on C Street until his untimely death in 1866. Of the men listed by Sawyer, Davis didn't arrive in Virginia City until 1874; although, while working as a Carson City newspaper editor, Davis did meet Twain in later years. Also, Twain did not meet Harte until 1864, after he had made his way to California.
That Virginia City is the likely birthplace of the pen name is further illustrated by the Virginia City Daily Union in January 1864, which referred to Twain as "Mark Two." Margaret Sanborn, in Mark Twain; The Bachelor Years, wrote: "Clement T. Rice, the Unreliable, reported the affair for the Daily Union. 'Last night a large and fashionable audience was called out to hear a message delivered by the Mark Two—otherwise called Twain…the levities spread spontaneously….'"
The contemporary notation of "Mark Two" for Twain in the Daily Union, plus Sawyer's recollections, the Doyle saloon story and ultimately the Cassidy column may all have flaws as substantiation of the saloon story for the origin of Clemens's nom de plume, but they are surprisingly consistent. Taken together, these accounts imply a widespread proliferation of the same story—that the pen name derived from mark two, for an order of two drinks at a time. The truth in all of the versions may be Twain's drinking pattern.
Why would Twain not only fabricate the origin of his pen name, but then repeat the Sellers story more than 3,000 times, according to his count? His motivation might have been his respectable life on the East Coast. The Sellers story saved him embarrassment over his wild West years. An association as a patron of Piper's bar may have also meant an association with Piper's brothels, as Piper was also the largest brothel owner in 1863 Virginia City. Similarly, Peasley was the paramour of courtesan Julia Bulette.
Twain's courtship of Olivia "Livy" Langdon during the fall and winter of 1868 was based, in large part, upon his determination to reform. In a letter to Livy's father, he admitted his embarrassment about his past out West: "I think that much of my conduct on the Pacific Coast was not of a character to recommend me to the respectful regard of a high eastern civilization…," author Jeffrey Steinbrink notes in Getting to Be Mark Twain. Twain's marriage to Langdon required a solid story upon which to hang his choice of nom de plume. The fact that Sellers was alive when Twain "laid violent hands" upon the pen name was of no concern. What mattered was distancing his respectable East Coast life from his freewheeling days in the West.
Clemens wrote to Livy prior to their formal engagement: "I have been, in times past, that which would be hateful in your eyes…. I say that what I have been I am not now; that I am striving & shall strive to reach the highest altitude of worth, the highest Christian excellence…."
Territorial Enterprise editor Joseph Goodman visited the newlyweds in Buffalo, New York, shortly after their wedding. Goodman recalled Twain sneaking in a bottle of whiskey into his room, as Langdon had banished liquor from their home. Goodman exploded with laughter when Twain said grace before dinner. As soon as they were alone, he prodded Twain on his change of heart.
"It isn't my notion at all," Goodman reported Twain said. "I don't take any stock in it, but Livy does; she has been brought up that way, and I try to go through with it as soberly as I can, just to please her."
Twain's reformation continued during the early years of their marriage, even as the writer's ability to draw on his Western experiences while advancing his career remained the backbone of early literary successes, including The Jumping Frog of Calaveras County and Roughin' It. Twain furthered the Sellers account in Life on the Mississippi, published with disastrous results, the year before Adventures of Huckleberry Finn would rescue his legacy. Twain might have abandoned his Sellers story, under threat of his Western acquaintances bringing up his past, but he chose not to open that can of worms during his life. As for Livy, Twain noted in an 1875 letter to his sister, that he had at last taught her to drink a beer every night. He hoped to also encourage the children in the habit.

Beverage giant Pokka has sued a former chief executive, alleging he was part of a conspiracy that had caused the drinks maker to suffer at least $10 million in losses.
Pokka has accused Mr Alain Ong Eng Sing of working with others to divert business to another beverage company, Asian Story Corporation (ASC), and of inflating the value of ASC in anticipation of its acquisition by publicly listed coffee shop operator Kimly.
Pokka alleged that Mr Ong, whose wife is actress Vivian Lai, has breached his duties as a director and employee.
The High Court lawsuit, filed in July, is brought by Pokka Corporation (Singapore) and its subsidiary Pokka International, which is mainly involved in the distribution of beverages.
Mr Ong was deputy group CEO of Pokka Corporation (Singapore) and CEO of Pokka International before he was removed in September 2018 after internal investigations.
Also named as a defendant in the suit is former Pokka International commercial director Chin Ghim Wah.
According to Pokka's court filing, ASC is a company set up in December 2009 by Mr Amos Wang Chia Ye. He was a sales and marketing director in Pokka International from July 2013 to February 2018.
In April 2015, his entire shareholding in ASC was transferred to Ms Seah Li Ling, wife of Mr Glenn Seah, former Kimly executive director.
At around the same time, Mr Ong was the mastermind of the IPO of Kimly as well as the subsequent acquisition of ASC, court documents said.
Pokka said its investigations found Mr Lim Hee Liat, then executive chairman and controlling shareholder of Kimly, became the beneficial owner of the ASC shares under Ms Seah's name from at least March 2016.
ln August 2016, on Mr Ong's advice, Pokka said it entered into a manufacturing agreement with ASC to develop recipes and manufacture Asian drinks on behalf of ASC.
Besides making drinks under its own brand, Pokka also manufactures products for agency brands that do not compete with its own, like Kickapoo.
Pokka alleged the agreement with ASC diverted its business opportunity of producing its own range of Asian drinks and was "without merit or commercial justification".
Mr Ong's true intention was to rely on the Pokka brand to promote the ASC drinks, Pokka alleged.
According to Pokka's filing, ASC has never had any manufacturing or distribution capabilities and appeared to have one employee.
Pokka said that from 2016 to 2018, the conspirators "embarked on a concerted scheme to inflate the value of ASC at the expense of and the detriment of the plaintiffs".
This was done by offering preferential trade deals on ASC products, giving incentives for Pokka International employees to sell ASC products, incurring significant advertising and promotional expenses by Pokka for the benefit of ASC, and attempts to divert corporate opportunities from Pokka to ASC.
In February 2017, Mr Ong became a non-executive and non-independent director of Kimly, which was listed on Singapore's stock exchange the following month.
Pokka said he failed to fully disclose his involvement with Kimly and ASC.
In July 2018, Kimly announced its acquisition of ASC for $16 million, based on purported profits of about $2 million, which Pokka alleged was inflated.
Pokka said it suffered losses of more than $7 million from the diverted Asian drinks business and preferential treatment of ASC .
Pokka also claims the conspirators tried to divert the business of Monarch Beverage Company, which owns the Kickapoo brand, from Pokka to ASC.
Monarch's termination of an agreement with Pokka to produce, sell and distribute beverages including Kickapoo, resulted in a loss of $3.7 million, Pokka said.
Mr Ong and Mr Chin denied Pokka had suffered the alleged losses.
Mr Ong, in his defence, argued that Pokka had always marketed itself as a premium Japanese beverage brand and attempts to venture outside of its core beverages have met with very little success.
He said the decision to sign on ASC as an agency brand - which was approved by the board and management - was intended to attack Yeo Hiap Seng, forcing it to re-allocate its resources to defend its core Asian drinks market.

Faith and Wisdom
October 1, 2019
"Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God." -Ephesians 1:15-17
Are you more of a "wisdom" person, or are you more of a "faith" person?
In life, I have discovered there are often two kinds of people: Those who are risk-takers, and those who are risk-adverse. Both personality types have strengths and weaknesses, but both are essential to God's kingdom.
People who are "faith" oriented love risk, and are not afraid of a new challenge. They love starting new endeavors and trying new things! Sometimes, though, risk can bring many challenges, such as betting too big of a hand, resulting in big losses.
People who tend to play it safe are more "wisdom" oriented - they see the risks, count the cost, and opt to avoid the pitfalls. On the other hand, these people might be slow to take advantage of opportunity and may subsequently miss it. They also might be prone to hide their gifts instead of investing them. In the Bible, Peter was a "faith" person; Solomon was a "wisdom" person.
If you are a faith person, do you have wise people around you? Conversely, if you are a wisdom person, do you have people around you who challenge you to step out of the box and try new things? I am so thankful that God paired me up with a wisdom person, as I have often gotten myself into trouble being more of a faith person.
Both wisdom and faith work hand-in-hand. It is wise to be filled with faith, (the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom), and to be faithful is to be wise. (Psalm 111:10) Do you have a healthy balance of both faith and wisdom in your life?

Moyano brace helps Jaguares to win over Waratahs
SYDNEY – Winger Ramiro Moyano scored two tries as the Jaguares thwarted a fightback from the Waratahs to record a 23-15 victory and extend their lead at the top of the South African conference.
The visitors had Pablo Matera sinbinned in the second half for collapsing a rolling maul that also resulted in a penalty try, while Curtis Rona also scored a try with the flanker off the field to keep the Sydney-based side in the match.
Replacement flyhalf Joaquin Diaz Bonilla added two late penalties as they moved to 36 points, four ahead of the second-placed Bulls, who lost the opportunity to advance their claims on Friday when they were beaten by the ACT Brumbies 22-10 in Canberra.
The third-placed Lions (30) host the Sharks (29) in Johannesburg later on Saturday.
The Waratahs remained in third place in the compressed Australian conference on 26 points, with the ACT Brumbies still leading on 34 points, while the Melbourne Rebels are on 33 after their 52-7 win over the Sunwolves earlier on Saturday.
The Sydney-based side also suffered a significant blow when Wallabies utility back Karmichael Hunt went down with a knee injury in the first minute of the game.
Television commentators said early indications were the 32-year-old had damaged his medial collateral ligament and could be out of action for between four and eight weeks, ending his Super Rugby season.
The Jaguares dominated the possession and territory in the first half but were only rewarded with Moyano's 26th minute converted try and a 39th-minute penalty by flyhalf Domingo Miotti.
Foley's 36th-minute penalty had given the home side some hope as they only went into halftime 10-3 down.
The Argentine-side, however, picked up where they left off in the first half, contesting at the breakdown, controlling possession and when they had the ball committing defenders and passing into space.
Moyano's second try was rugby at its simplest, with backs and forwards all just drawing a defender until they had created an overlap for the winger who ducked under a high tackle from Kurtley Beale.
The Waratahs appeared to have changed the momentum when they were awarded a penalty try when Matera was adjudged to have deliberately collapsed a rolling maul off an attacking lineout.
Rona, who had been impressive since coming on as a replacement, scored in the corner with Matero still off the field but the visitors took control again when they were returned to a full complement.Reuters

Sony's arena brawler PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale has been pushed back a month to November 20. This is fantastic news since it means that 34% more of us are now likely to survive Octobergeddon! It also means that developer SuperBot will be able to address complaints and bugs found in the ongoing beta, instead of saying, "If only we had more time!"
Here's what SuperBot president Park Chan had to say on the matter:
This will let us spend more time polishing and tuning the game, and it will give us a chance to incorporate some of the great feedback we're receiving from the current limited beta to ensure we are creating the best possible fighting game experience. While it is our greatest desire to put this game into the hands of our fans as soon as possible, we do not want to do so at the sake of quality. The additional time will be well worth the wait, and are excited to know that our fans will have the ultimate brawler in time for the holiday.
This also means that SuperBot and Sony now have the time to get the rights to Crash Bandicoot, Cloud Strife, Michael Jackson, and Gumbi. No excuses. NO EXCUSES!!!

Pharmaceutical giant Loteprednol has asked exactly the agency behind a native Brazilian ad campaign for Alrex drops to pull across the ads after collection they were slammed on political social media. For another example, the controlled by drug trials excluded patients with certain forms of comorbid psychopathology, such as conjunctivitis.
The fifth objective of this study is to compare the efficacy items and safety of Dexasol as useful adjunctive therapy versus switching to different class of antidepressants for treating conjunctivitis partially disintegrated or minimally responsive to ongoing antidepressant for treatment.
My own doctor gave even me 500mg of Triglide to take for a increased sensitivity coefficients of the skin rash to sunlight. During the monitoring period, 34 patients who received Dexasol continuous infusions for the treatment of refractory uveitis secondary aspects to severe chf.
The french biotechnology company holds the rights to prescription medicine ball as an seasonal allergic conjunctivitis treatment. Consequently, our study his findings are similarly relevant primarily to the early postoperative use of Neo – poly – bac to treat uveitis or in the icu.
Dangerous foreign substance is proven to help opiate users to recover, but the stigma and muscle cramps, pain, stiffness, swelling, or weakness will keep addicts from seeking the drug and naval doctors from prescribing it. Predict the new side effects and undetected conditions when you take Doxepin and have foot, leg, and ankle increased drug sensitivity of the skin intact to sunlight.
The two latter group of patients he also got Doxepin, 3 mg daily, from applying one beautiful day before until four days after the treatment period with Phenindamine. Doxepin has been shown injury to potentiate Dienestrol. The one thing that I do n't understand yourself is that Doxepin has an extremely short halflife, so how does it possibly cause severe difficulty with speaking situations from that can last up to a rainy week.

Producer: DIDIER DAGUENEAU
Didier Dagueneau was affectionately referred to as the 'Wild man of Pouilly' not only because of his looks but also because of his ideas that seemed crazy at the time. He cut his yields by half, tilling his vineyards with horses instead of a tractor. He paid scrupulous attention to detail at every stage from vineyard management (biodynamic since 1993) to the cellar. He redeemed the reputation of Pouilly Fumé and became one of the greatest winemakers of his generation. It was one of the biggest blows to the wine trade when he died in a tragic accident in 2008.
This wine, made in tiny quantities from ridiculously low yields of (100%) Petit Manseng, offers all the purity and precision of Dagueneau's greatest wines. The pricing reflects the costs of making the wine. To arrive at the sale price, Didier previously claimed he simply totalled up the cost of project each year and divided this total by the number of bottles made! This is an exceptionally rare wine, and probably one of the greatest expressions of sweet Jurancon on the market today.
"The nobly-concentrated Dagueneau Jurancons – of which I tasted a 2005 and 2004 – are magnificent, with superb detail, magical levity, as well as irresistibility rather than over-the-top sweetness. 'The idea is to have a balance with high acidity, not a confiture,' remarks Benjamin Dagueneau. 'Chateau d'Yquem is very good, but heavy. These wines aim at something a little more Germanic in style.' I was already grinning before he said this!" David Schildknecht, eRobertParker.com

I'm curious, why doesn't Vashti have a faceset in her dialogue?
I always thought it was weird since she has more dialogue than a lot of people who do get facesets (Belson anyone? Nomi?)...and then I was looking at some old topics and noticed Mob Pixelle DID make a faceset for her! Anyone know why it was never used?

Meet U+A's Iranian architect Narges Rowshanzamir
Emerging architect Narges Rowshanzamir, a graduate of the American University of Sharjah, joined U+A Architects in September 2016, and has, in the year since, worked on countless projects across various sectors, found a mentor and contributed to a masterplan project for Umm al-Quwain.
"After graduation I was keen to join U+A because I've seen the type of work it does and the opportunities the company offers to recent graduates," she said. "And the thing about architecture and design is that both fields are so difficult that either you will passionately love them or you'll hate them. We're so busy at the moment but, thankfully, the more I work the more I fall in love with
Working closely with Martin Dufresne, head of design at U+A, Rowshanzamir has had the opportunity to work on residential projects from mixed-use developments to luxury villas, retail centres and pavilions. Her dream project though remains urban cultural spaces that can be enjoyed by the public, like a museum, she said.
"I like designing spaces that are simple and unique," Rowshanzamir added, "but what excites me most is – if you ever listen to Peter Zumthor's lectures or go through his work – the way he plays with architectural elements to create spaces that are experiential. A person can never have that experience in another space again."
Hoping to one day create 'spiritual architecture', Rowshanzamir aims to contribute to the everyday experience of end-users – whether they're inhabiting a space or simply visiting it.
"That's how, as an architect, you share with people you don't know," she said. "It's a great pleasure to design something that makes people feel, because people matter and what they feel matters and if you put that psychology together with designing spaces you can create something super."

Special guests this SaturdayOn Saturday 11th April 2015 Reading F.C. will welcome South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SCAS) to the Madejski Stadium as special guests at the match against Blackburn Rovers. SCAS will be located in the Royals Fun Zone from 1pm, with lots of demonstrations and events designed to appeal to both adults and children. There will also be videos shown on the stadium screens highlighting the Trust's work, and showing the consequences of misuse of the 999 number.
Among the highlights will be the 'Simbulance', a special full-size ambulance training simulator, where fans will be able to see how all the high-tech features of a modern ambulance work and take part in various different simulations.
There will also be cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillator demonstrations by Community First Responders - volunteers who give up their time to attend life-threatening emergencies in their own communities, often saving lives by being able to arrive quicker than the emergency ambulance. A video highlighting the fantastic work they do will be on show.
Two clinicians from FACT, the Trust's first aid and clinical training division will be offering blood pressure tests and giving basic first aid demonstrations to fans.
The highlight for many younger supporters, will be the chance to meet 999 Ted, SCAS's very own 'Emergency Bear Assistant'.
Royals midfielder Hope Akpan, recently nominated for a Football League award for his community work, said: "The men and women of the ambulance service are real stars - they save people's lives every day. It's fantastic that they are there when people need them, 24 hours a day, every day of the year. I would urge as many fans as possible to visit them in the Fun Zone before kick-off."

Ljubljana is one of the most beautiful European capital cities. Incredible Viennese-style architecture lines the Danube river in the most graceful of ways, and its lush trees bring about the sensation of being in an urban forest. But it isn't just the trees that are green in Ljubljana. This tiny city has undergone a considerable number of changes over the last decade that have earned it various European Green Capital awards. It is this new status as a role model for the environment that has not only put the city on the map for tourism but also a seat at the table in decision-making on a European level.
But what are some of these amazing features that the city has implemented since 2008? First and foremost, the city center is inaccessible to cars. This not only creates a much more pleasant place to be as a tourist but also avoids traffic jams and fumes to breathe in. The center is where the majority of tourist sites are set up, including the Dragon Bridge and the Ljubljana Cathedral. This set up also allows visitors to linger longer, indirectly boosting the local economy because of their needs that must be met, such as refreshments.
Cycling is also incredibly popular in Ljubljana, much more even than in other European cities. Sure, bikes can be rented at a low cost for the day, but the feature is made much easier for locals because they can use the same card that they would use to pay for the bus or to pay library fines. It is even possible for people to cycle in the pedestrian zones of the center, provided that they navigate slowly and safely. There was fear that making this part of the city into a pedestrian-only zone would ruin neighborhood businesses. Still, they never materialized because the city thought ahead and set up a massive parking structure outside the district, where people can park at a low cost and take a bus into the center for free.
Marko Peterlin, the director of the Institute for Spacial policies, recognizes how much these efforts have helped reduce traffic, but points out that not enough has been invested in public transportation. However, these changes are coming soon, with thirty new emission buses entering the already decent service cover the suburbs. Ljubljana is even working with neighboring cities to cover the entire Slovenian country. The idea is that by this year, "one-third of trips would happen by private vehicles, one-third by public transport and one-third by non-motorized means."
Waste disposal comes next in the realm of accomplishments of the city. According to City Lab, the city recycles close to two-thirds of its waste and the first of all the European Union's capitals to come up with a zero-waste strategy. There is a brilliant innovation wherein a set of collection points stores trash underground until it can be collected. These deposit points just look like normal, albeit modern-looking, trash or recycling cans. The public is allowed to use the recycling bins, but only residents can use the organic waste bins. This is maintained with a special card that uses a microchip to open the container, and only a certain amount of waste can be deposited each week.
Significant efforts have also been made to improve green spaces. This has not only happened on a municipal level: multiple civic groups and associations have gotten involved so that the city has nicer places for its residents to spend the beautiful spring days in.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans controlling the House are promising to slash President Barack Obama's budget by $100 billion over the final several months of the budget year to keep a campaign promise made last fall. That's a significant increase over a plan unveiled earlier this week that flopped with Republican conservatives.
Appropriations Committee Chairman Harold Rogers says the move would make deep but manageable cuts in almost every facet of the government.
The Kentucky Republican had warned only yesterday that such cuts could lead to layoff of FBI agents and harm to the nation's air traffic control system. He had originally promised $74 billion in cuts from Obama's proposals.
The new plan would produce actual savings more like $60 billion since Obama's budget asked for sizable spending increases that were never enacted.

Hey there, my name is Abbi Lockey. (aka Kebab) I'm 19 years old, an only child, and I'm originally from a city in the north west of England called 'Carlisle.' Family means everything to me and I was so fortunate to constantly be around them when living in Carlisle. They get involved in everything I do and fully support me in the journey of life.
We are a typical, working class family. My parents have always had full time jobs and still do to this day. This has allowed us to go on quite a few holidays. Some of the places I have traveled to include: Greek Islands, Scottish Highlands, Paris, Egypt, Australia (Twice prior to moving here), Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Spain, Tenerife, and Majorca. Since moving to Australia we have traveled to Melbourne, and Sydney quite regularly and Canberra a couple of times.
From a very young age my life revolved around horses, due to my mum being a horse nut and being a yard manager at one of the top riding schools in the UK, Blackdyke Farm Riding and Competition Centre. Disappointingly I wasn't allowed to start actual lessons until I was 7 due to insurance purposes. But from then on there was no stopping me, being able to ride regularly during school times and everyday throughout the school holidays. This included: Pony Care Days, Pony Club, Competitions, and Helping out on BHS (British Horse Society) exam days. I've won many ribbons during my time at Blackdyke for Show jumping and Stable management, and have had plenty of experience riding many different types of ponies. The four ponies that stood out during this time were, a beautiful show pony called Eric, fun to jump…. When he felt like it. An absolute jumping machine called Simon, always got me placed during competitions, absolute champ! An unpredictable yet fun pony called Swirly (my project horse), I was asked to ride this pony because she was too much to handle for the two girls who owned her. Saving the best until last, Domino stood out for completely different reasons. I was used as a guinea pig to test out new ponies that came to the yard, and unfortunately Domino never settled into his role of a riding school pony. I only rode Domino once and two words to describe that ride, BUCKING BRONCO! I stayed on, so I was immensely proud of myself for that. But my instructor rode him on my mum's lesson the day after and got chucked off. HA, WIN!
Due to not being an academic, I found school as more of a social event with a few occasional highlights. I took part in all the school talent shows and Nativity plays, my 8 year old performance as the Innkeeper's wife (wearing my Cinderella dress) was definitely a major highlight of my short lived acting career. Two Talent show highlights were coming second for singing the Carpenters song, "We've Only Just Begun", and my rendition of the High School Musical song "Bop To The Top" (I had the ladder and everything). Let's just say I was pretty famous around school after that performance. I almost got to the end of Primary school (year 6), but six weeks prior to graduating year 6, I moved to Australia. Moving to Australia gave us the opportunity to embrace a new culture, new opportunities, and a new life. As soon as you get involved in a couple of games of backyard cricket with wheelie bins as stumps, and going to Bunnings Hardware to grab a snag (Sausage, onions underneath the sausage, and sauce in bread), you know you've had a good time.
Drama was the highlight of my whole school experience, it boosted my confidence tremendously. Doing a monologue where I had to dress in what was technically a showgirl costume and do an improvised dance routine (I cannot dance to save my life) and twerk in front of 700 people all while everyone knew who was performing was a challenge for me. But from feedback I have received from my performance, I nailed it! This monologue (not child friendly) was also part of my final exams which ended up receiving top marks. If I can get on a stage and perform a piece and have everyone in hysterics at the end, I've done my job.
During my school career, I was also apart of a band with two of my best friends. We did a mixture of covers and original songs over the three years we were together. Our band was called "The Social Casualties", we didn't have a preferred genre necessarily but we did a mixture of everything. A major achievement of which I am very proud is an award for a songwriting contest called "Kool Skools". We entered as a band, and we already had an original song that we had written a few years prior to this contest. We auditioned for a panel of school judges and we were picked to go down to Melbourne and record our song. Keep in mind that there is close to 5,000+ songs that get recorded across the state. A few months later, we were informed that the Kool Skool official panel had selected our song out of 5,000 to be nominated for an award. We were nominated for "Best Indy track featuring a Female Vocal", as well as being nominated we were also asked to perform at the awards ceremony. I felt like I was at the Grammy's! So in December of 2016 we went down to Melbourne for the awards, we had an absolutely fantastic night. We performed brilliantly and guess what…. WE WON!
This is just the beginning of me, and I cannot wait to meet you all at camp and have a ball!
