Each May, blood-red crepe paper poppies, distributed by the American Legion Auxiliary, become a common sight.
The red poppy has been a symbol of the fallen since World War I, when the flower began to bloom in great numbers on the battlefields of Europe.
The sight was immortalized in the poem "In Flanders Fields" by Lt. Col. John McCrae, a Canadian soldier, physician and teacher. "In Flanders fields the poppies blow, between the crosses, row on row," his poem opens.
Since the poppy was adopted as the American Legion's memorial flower in the 1920s, it has remained an iconic symbol of honor for the sacrifice of veterans who gave their all.
Last week, members of both the Maxwell American Legion Auxiliary and Princeton American Legion Auxiliary distributed the poppies at various locations in exchange for donations, which go toward assisting disabled and hospitalized veterans, as well as assisting active-duty military personnel and their families with medical and financial needs.
"All the donations go to veterans' causes," said Barbara Ladoucer, president of Princeton's Auxilary Unit No. 98.
With 2017 marking the 100th anniversary of America's entry into World War 1, the American Legion and Auxiliary hope America will adopt the poppy on a broader scale in order to better support veterans and their families.
On Friday, May 26, 2017, the American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary launched the inaugural National Poppy Day in an effort to bring greater attention to the symbolism of the poppy, and greater support of all veterans, active-duty military and their families.
The American Legion has asked Congress for the official designation. ■

One thing that cat owners always worry about is whether or not their cat is growing at a healthy place, and it is nerve-wracking!
Why is my British Shorthair so small? British Shorthair cats grow at a steady pace. Though they are well-built, medium to large sized cats when they reach adulthood, they happen to be very small-sized kittens. An average British Shorthair weighs around 7 to 8 pounds and has a height of 10 to 12 inches when it is six-months-old. It grows to be an adult of 11 to 12 pounds having a height of 12 to 14 inches.
There are a number of factors that affect the growth rate of your cat. Let's dissect your cat's growth.
Is Your British Shorthair Smaller than It Should be?
British Shorthairs are stocky, muscular, and compact cars.
They are even called the bulldog of cats for this reason!
British Shorthairs do look like the cat version of a bulldog to a certain extent. They have a broad chest and hips, short but sturdy legs and a thick tail that tapers into a round tip.
It gets better:
They always look like they are smiling!
Their chubby cheeks and round, button eyes coupled with their forever smiling face also gave them the title of Cheshire cat.
British Shorthairs are known to have a steady growth rate.
They are very small throughout their junior life, but they get bigger and heavier as they enter into adulthood. An average male British Shorthair is said to weigh around 12 to 19 pounds while a female British Shorthair weighs 8 to 14 pounds. It takes up to 5 years for a British Shorthair to attain physical maturity.

|One year
|9 to 9.9 pounds
|8 to 9 pounds
Small But Beautiful
One thing that you need to know:
British Shorthair cats mature rather slowly.
They grow at their own steady pace.
The whole journey is a ride through cuteness, and the final result is so worth the wait.
A British Shorthair kitten will fit right into your palm, and a full grown cat is a medium-sized (and adorable) fluffball.
British Shorthair starts as small kittens, like all cat breeds.
Their growth rate is quite slow.
At three months old, they weigh merely three to four pounds – which is three times heavier than their birth weight.
At six months of age, the British Shorthair has grown considerably.
Its weight stands at 6 to 7 pounds, and its height is somewhere between 8 to 12 inches.
Steady Growth Rate
Your British Shorthair will be rather smaller than the other domestic cat breeds for the most part of its life.
A British Shorthair takes up to 5 years to reach its fullest height and weight.
Here's the thing:
The growth rate of an average British Shorthair can be divided into the following steps:
- The Onset: This is its growth from a newborn kitten to a kitten of merely 15 days. The kitten is known to grow by a quarter of an ounce every day!
- Rapid Growth Stage:
Your British Shorthair will show a remarkable growth rate from three to eleven months of age.
It will grow from 2 pounds to 9 pounds.
- Maturity:
The next three years are the maturity years.
Your cat will grow to its fullest in these years.However:You will notice that the growth rate is the slowest during this phase.
British Shorthair Diet Affects its Growth
This is quite a common question that most pet owners ask.
Does poor nutrition affect my kitty's diet?
The answer is yes!
Kittens are just like children.
Children with poor dietary conditions have stunted growth.
Children with proper nutrition grow to be healthy and tall. They are even said to have higher intellectual capabilities.
The same goes for cats:
Cats, like all beings, have a nutritional requirement which if left unfulfilled, can lead to their stunted mental and physical growth.
It gets worse:
Some kittens get separated from their mothers right after they are born. Such kittens never feed on their mothers who can lead to some serious stunted growth problems.
So if you happen to have more than one kittens and their birth mother, you need to make sure that all of them get to feed on their mother.
When you adopt a cat, make sure you provide it with all its basic nutritional requirements.
If your British Shorthair is smaller than usual, this can be one of the probable reasons.
It wasn't very well-fed when it was little!
This, in no way, implies that your cat is "abnormal" or "defected."
It just happens to be a little smaller, and that is completely okay.
It's All in the Genes
We all know this very well guys:
Genes are the real culprits (or heroes) behind all the diversity in this world.
It is quite probable that your British Shorthair is not a pure breed.
Somewhere along with its ancestry, your British Shorthair might have a cat of smaller size and those genes are expressing themselves.
This is pretty common in cats.
Here is what you need to know:
If your cat is healthy, has proper diet and lives in a happy home, yet it isn't growing to its full potential, it is descended from a smaller cat. A number of cats aren't pure-breed. And the genes express themselves in the form of different traits.
Don't try to over-feed your cat or fuss over it if it doesn't grow to the expected size. What's important is that your cat should be happy and loved, fed on time and is taken to its vet for regular checkups.
Related Questions
What age do British Shorthairs stop growing?
British Shorthairs have a steady growth period of around five years. They grow somewhat rapidly in the first eleven or twelve months of their life. After that, you will observe a steady pace of growth until they are five years of age. Some cats stop growing at the age of three, while some keep growing till they are five.
How heavy should a British Shorthair be?
British Shorthairs are medium to large domestic cats. They are categorized as small cats. Another thing that you should know about a British Shorthair is that these cats are compact and muscular. They are not dainty or weak. An adult male British Shorthair is about 8 to 10 pounds. An adult female British Shorthair is about 8 to 9 pounds.
Their weight varies drastically over their growth years, that is, a newborn British Shorthair is merely a few ounces while an adult full-grown British Shorthair is a whopping 12 pounds.
Do British shorthair cats meow?
British Shorthairs, teddy bears of cats, are classified as talkative cats. They meow a lot!

British Shorthairs are known for their soft, dense fur and unique coat colors. The most common and popular coat color of this cat breed is Blue. It is actually an amalgam of silver, grey and blue hues. Usually, British Shorthairs have a solid coat color.
Many varieties of British Shorthair have black, white and cream colored coats. Their coat patterns vary too; they are known to have tortoiseshell and tabby coat patterns due to outbreeding.

The Agricultural Enterprise established in 1928 by the brothers Sergio and Sante Delle Monache initially specialized in animal husbandry, in cultivating various kinds of vegetables and, primarily, in growing olives, dedicating particular attention to finding new techniques for olive growing, pruning and fertilizing, also with the collaboration of various experts and research institutes.
The land and the olive trees
Our groves are situated in the heart of the area that belonged to the ancient Etruscan civilization, Tuscia, very close to Vetralla, a little town that has always had strong connections with the culture and traditions of olive-growing and olive oil, located in a central position of the Tuscia Protected Designation of Origin district – TUSCIA P.D.O.
Of volcanic origin, the soil is rich in minerals that are particularly suited to olive-growing, and our groves are positioned on soft hills at an altitude of approximately 280 meters above sea level, with an excellent south-western exposure and an overall extension of 20 hectares. The more than 2,500 olive trees, some of which are more than a hundred years old, are arranged at a distance of at least 6 meters from each other, the perfect space that allows fronds to be aired and to take full advantage of the sunlight. The plants are divided into sectors based on the cultivar (variety of olive tree). This set-up makes it possible to selectively harvest the fruit, ideal for finding a perfect balance for the production of our Extra Virgin Olive Oils. The fruit from our Canino, Frantoio and Leccino olive plants, the most widespread varieties in Tuscia, and from the Moraiolo and Maurino plants, skillfully combined in the right proportions, render an Extra Virgin Olive Oil with a rich and unique taste.
That's why we believe there
History of the company
The Agricultural Enterprise was founded in 1928 by the brothers Delle Monache, who are dedicated to the growing olives with a special attention to the research of new cultivation techniques.
The Farm stands out for its cutting edge techniques and wins the first national prize in the olive cultivation.
the Ministry of Agriculture chooses our olive groves as the venue for a trial on the methods of planting and fertilizing designed by Luigi Sommaini (Institute of Agricultural Chemistry of Rome), one of the most famous agronomists of the field, acts to increase the amount of production and the quality of extra virgin olive oil. Thanks to the results obtained, known today as "Sommaini Method", he marked a turning point in the the olive- and tree-growing sector.
The company becomes the exclusive property of Sergio Delle Monache who concentrated efforts particularly on the olive-growing section, continuing research and testing with the purposes of improving the quality of oil produced, among which the continuous collaboration with the Agricultural Inspectorate of Viterbo and other research institutes.
Francesco delle Monache, by then an established geologist who shared his father's love for the land and for olive groves actively took part in an important research study on olive-growing in the Tuscia territory that lasted 4 years, conducted by ENEA in collaboration with the University of Tuscia, the Cooperativa Energia and the Province of Viterbo, the results of which were presented in a convention held at the University itself and disclosed by Enea in the publication "Technical and Economical Aspects of Olive-growing in the Viterbo Region", co-authored by Francesco. More than 40 analytical and sensorial parameters of more than 100 samples were compared and the results confirmed that the Vetralla olive oil if produced with special care and attention, is among the best ever.
Having indisputably recognized the quality of the oil from Vetralla and heeding the pressing ecological demands of the time, the new challenge became that of achieving ever-healthier oil capable of fully satisfying its clientele, which consisted of people who were knowledgeable, demanding and desirous of a healthy diet. And so at the end of the nineties, Francesco was one of the first both to undertake the process of conversion into organic production and to become qualified as an olive taster by the National Association of Olive Tasters (O.N.A.O.O).
The "Sergio Delle Monache" Agricultural Enterprise was definitively re-launched, and together with it, all of its heritage consisting of history, passion, tradition, culture, experimentation, biological milestones and products of the highest quality, celebrated by the birth of the Tamìa extra-virgin olive oil, an authentic, homemade and wholesome product: it is extremely rich in polyphenols.
Being present in the most important guides of the sector with great reviews, the Tamia extra virgin olive oils are hoarding of national and international awards, winning, among others, the Award of BEST ORGANIC DELICATE OLIVE OIL IN THE WORLD from NYIOOC – New York International Olive Oil Competition.
Tamìa wins 9 other international prizes, including BEST ORGANIC DELICATE OLIVE OIL IN THE WORLD at Los Angeles International Extra Virgin Olive Oil Competition. To these are added the prestigious awards related to the packaging: "Le forme dell'Olio" in Milan, "Orii del Lazio" in Rome, "Terraolivo" in Jerusalem and "Innovative Packaging" in Los Angeles, just to name a few.

Brand new? Second hand? Superstore? Internet? Supermarket? There are many options when it comes to buying a computer and the right answer for one person won't necessarily be right for another.
In the article What computer do I need?, we looked at choosing your computer and what sort of price you could expect to pay. Here, we're going to assume you have an approximate idea of what you need and a guideline budget.
If you know precisely which brand and model you want and have a credit or debit card, it's straightforward – find out who's selling it cheapest online, or elsewhere, using tips from our article on financial deals.
If your needs are modest then you might want to look at something second hand, although it's best if you know the seller – it can be a nightmare when second-hand things going wrong and you can't trace the seller.
Supermarkets and online stores
If you know the specification you need – how much RAM, that sort of thing – then it's worth looking at online stores by all means, where you can often enter this information and build your own system.
If it's a common configuration then look at supermarkets too - they sometimes have erratic stock, so when it's gone it's gone, but there are some bargains to be had.
Many people will have a rough idea of what they need, but will want to try out a keyboard and maybe get some advice. The supermarkets and more general shops will be less help here than superstores and specialists.
Specialist shops
Computer stores and electronics shops that sell computers will have staff who know their stuff and be pleased to offer advice.
They will also do their best to sell you something more expensive than you came in for – remember that these guys are incentivised and are there to earn a living.
They will also try to sell extended warranties. If you think you're going to be using your computer for the length of these warranties rather than upgrading, they can be worth taking out. But they are expensive.
A maintenance contract with a local computer supplier once the machine is out of warranty can be cheaper and just as effective (as he or she will be counting on your recommendations for further business).
Finally, remember to look at the room into which you're putting the computer. A big screen might do well in a review, but will you be able to get it home and will it fit into the box room?
And whatever you do, don't lose the receipt. If it goes wrong in 11 months and 30 days' time, you'll need it.

Born in 1962, I was brought up on a diet of witnessing on the telly Liverpool win plenty of titles and cups via Shankly, Paisley and Fagan and watched many of the famous old stars at Carrow Road including names such as Smith, Keegan, Hanson, Dalglish and Hughes strut their stuff.
In those days they were well organised, could score a goal and shut up shop for the remainder of the game. I always had a soft spot for the super sub, David Fairclough who scored plenty of important goals having come off the bench.
I had a six-month stint working in Liverpool in the late 80s and visited Anfield on a Wednesday night to sit in the old main stand and watch the reserves play Hull City in the Central League amongst a few hundred fans.
Three games stand out for me, February 1980 at Norwich City. Not the score, losing 3-5, the goal of the season with the turn and shot by Justin Fashanu past a hapless Bruce Grobbelaar.
The second is City winning at Anfield 1-0 when Goss scored the last ever league goal in front of the standing Kop in 1994.
The third being the bullet header from Grant Holt, again in front of the Kop to pull off a draw in October 2011.
I have to confess I have little knowledge about the current Liverpool squad or indeed the Premier League, mainly because for me it has become far too predictable and overhyped. The club has removed one massive monkey off its back by winning a European trophy once again, the big prize will be whether the title can be achieved once again. My feeling is that Manchester City will edge it again this season, however, Klopp is building momentum so I wouldn't put money on it.
Norwich City have been linked with hundreds of players over the summer yet sit bottom of the spending table by a country mile. This was similar to the start of last season. A 14th place finish, still attempting to offload high wage players, replacing the squad with freebies and fresh inexpensive, off the radar talent and what did ALL the 'professional' pundits come up with? Another mid-table finish. The rest, as they say, is history and that's what's made last season so sweet.
The star player for Norwich City who I believe will stick around in the Premier League even if Norwich don't is Emi Buendia. His goal scoring and assist stats from last season are excellent. He's tenacious and has plenty of tricks up his sleeve but can be a little hot-headed.
Teemu Pukki was arguably the best signing in all four divisions last season. 30 goals from the free transfer and international Finnish striker was brilliant business. He is a natural finisher, cool under pressure and like the rest of the team, he works his socks off.
Our Championship winning season demonstrated the ability to attack, score plenty of goals and especially late in games. The downside of this is the style was the exposure to defending. The Canaries conceded plenty. How will City cope with the step up in class, I am nervously optimistic about getting points from defensively-minded opposition.
My head says a 4-0 defeat, my heart says 2-2.

One way to ensure that your truck is pulled over is to leave a trail of debris as you drive down the highway. Such a truck is an easy mark for truck enforcement agents and police officers.
An unsecured load traffic ticket in New York City carries a minimum of $250 fine and many judges will not plea bargain them down. Further, these truck tickets are not repairable after-the-fact by adding a tarp or safety straps.
The danger of an unsecured load was seen this week when a young woman was killed in the Bronx trying to avoid debris on the Bruckner Expressway. Suejaes Estrada tried to avoid a cable spool bouncing on the highway as she crossed an overpass, lost control of her SUV and hit a divider. The crash threw her out of her vehicle and sent her falling 40 feet to her death. Former NBC news anchor Tom Brokaw and his wife were in a nearby car that was involved in this accident although neither was hurt.
The AAA Foundation For Traffic Safety road debris causes 25,000 accidents and results in 100 deaths annually. In New York City approximately 130 accidents on East River bridges were caused by loose debris over a three year period.
To avoid lawsuits, injuries and truck tickets, it is therfore important to make sure that your truck's load is properly secured.

In New York State, can snow on your roof that falls off while you are driving and hit another vehicle and damages it be classified as an "unsecured load" and be issued a ticket?
Tom, that's a new one for me. I've never seen someone charged for un-secured load for snow. Thus, I do not think it applies. This statute is intended to cover materials that you are transporting. A different law may apply but I'd think a charge for unsecured load would be defensible.
Thanks for submitting this interesting question.

The bamboo flute has a rich tradition of use throughout Asia and the Americas. While it is played like a conventional flute, its wooden frame produces a rich, clear and unique tone. Learning to play bamboo flute is challenging, but immensely rewarding.
Pick up the flute with your left hand. Rotate it so the mouthpiece is facing you. The flute should extend to the right.
Wrap your left hand around the flute and place your middle three fingers over the three holes closest to the mouthpiece. Lift your right hand and, with the palm facing outward, place the middle three fingers over the remaining three holes.
Purse your lips and lift the flute so the mouthpiece is slightly in front of and slightly below the hole your pursed lips have created. The bamboo flute is a reedless woodwind instrument, so to generate sound you must create a column of air inside of the flute. To do this, you must blow air across the mouthpiece, rather than into it.
Lift up all your fingers and, with pursed lips, blow a steady stream of air over the mouth hole. Experiment with holding the flute in different positions and blowing the air through your lips in different ways, until you can produce a steady, clear tone.
Place the index finger of your left hand (the finger closest to your mouth) over the first hole. Blow air through your lips in the same way as before to produce a tone. The tone will be one note higher than the one produced with all fingers up.
Continue to place fingers over the corresponding holes while blowing air over the blow hole to produce continuously higher tones. To play a complete scale, play each tone until you reach the ring finger of your right hand. To reverse the scale, lift each finger one by one, starting with the right hand ring finger, until all fingers are lifted and the original tone is sounded.
Mix and match notes of the scale to create or imitate a melody.
The last hole to the right can be covered by either the ring finger or by the pinkie finger, depending on your preference. Practice each tone until you master it, before moving on to the next one.

The Title IX investigation into an alleged sexual assault involving playing members of the Michigan State football team has ended, the Associated Press and other media outlets are reporting.
In early February, three unidentified football players as well as a football staffer were suspended amidst allegations that a sexual assault took place on January 16 at an on-campus apartment complex. As a result of the allegations, a Title IX investigation into the alleged incident commenced in early February and lasted a little over three months.
That investigation was headed by Rebecca Veidlinger, an independent Title IX consultant and Ann Arbor attorney who previously worked in MSU's Title IX office. Because of federal privacy laws, the university will not release the findings of Veidlinger's probe.
As for the next step in the process? Mlive.com explains.
Speaking generally about Title IX investigations, [university spokesperson Jason] Cody said there are two possible outcomes at the conclusion of an investigation. If no university policy violation is found, then the matter would be closed. If a policy violation was found, the case would then be sent to the school's student conduct system.
The student conduct system could then levy any sanction ranging from a warning or probation to suspension or expulsion.
The alleged sexual assault has spawned three separate investigations, including the recently-completed Title IX probe. A criminal investigation conducted by campus police led to requests for four arrest warrants to be issued, although the Ingham County Prosecutor's office has thus far declined to act. Additionally, the university has hired an outside law firm to conduct an independent investigation into the football program and its handling of the allegations.
Thus far, the names of the players allegedly involved in the assault have not been released. The suspended staffer was subsequently identified as Curtis Blackwell, whose title with the football program is director of college advancement and performance. Blackwell, who is not accused of participating in the alleged sexual assault but rather a non-sexual crime after the fact, has received a pair of one-month contract extensions since his suspension was levied.

|The device is connected; if not reconnect the phone and go to Manage Devices – check the device is present and selected. In the case of RIM Blackberry a password dialogue may be presented in you have security password on your device – this will appear as a pop up box; without entering the correct password the PC cannot connect to the device.

|The device has an active SIM with a suitable data tariff
|A network is present. For phones look at the display for presence of a network. For devices without a display, check Tools | Select Network for the presence of suitable networks

Julian Day Collection Dennis Wheatley
The Quest Of Julian Day – Julian Day, while seeking revenge upon those who had ruined his career in the Diplomatic Service, becomes drawn into a quest for treasure, buried for over 2,000 years. It was for lovely Sylvia Shane that Julian decided to set out upon his quest, but it was the damnably dangerous yet adorable Princess Oonas Shahamalek who delayed his going. Women found him very attractive! Julian's quest takes him through such excitements as a night in the Tomb of the Sacred Bulls in Alexandria, dope-running in the City of the Dead outside Cairo, white-slaving on the Suez Canal, a fight for life in a Pharaoh's tomb in the Valley of the Kings – to the final dénouement in the middle of the waterless Libyan Desert, 500 miles from civilization.
The Sword Of Fate – 'Between your body and his,' the old Arab woman told the lovely Greek-ltalian girl, Daphnis, 'lies the Sword of Fate.' In the battle-scarred days of 1940 Julian Day finds himself in Alexandria – in a whirlpool of intrigue and spy-rings. He falls under suspicion both from his fellow countrymen and the Germans. Driven by conflicting loyalties, he sets sail for Greece and the ill-starred campaign of 1941, and, determined to sheath the Sword of Fate, he journeys into the heart of enemy-held territory. The danger is desperate; the price of failure – death.
Bill For The Use Of A Body – When Dennis Wheatley flew off to tour the Far East anyone could have foretold that he would soon be entertaining his vast public with a gripping tale set in the flamboyant Orient. Here is the first fruit of his thirty-thousand-mile journey. The opening of the story is macabre: a Japanese father regarding the severed head of his son which had been sent to him in a box. Of that, the lovely half-English, half-Chinese Merri Sang knew nothing, neither did Julian Day nor Bill Urata, both of whom were in love with her; but the father's thirst for revenge brought all three of them into deadly peril. The story moves swiftly to Hong Kong as it was in the sixties, but the reader is temporarily carried back to those terrible days when the beautiful island was invaded by the Japanese – who, in many cases, treated their prisoners with appalling barbarity.

Fly Your Satellite! 2 update: teams complete Phase D workshop
ESA's Fly Your Satellite! programme (FYS) gives the next generation of scientists and engineers the chance to develop CubeSats and operate them from space. The six CubeSat teams participating in Fly Your Satellite! 2 attended the FYS Phase D Workshop hosted at ESA Education's Training Centre in ESEC-Galaxia, Belgium, from 8-12 April 2019. The workshop was prepared by the Fly Your Satellite! team in collaboration with the Training and Learning Programme, as part of the ESA Academy programme.
Phase D of Fly Your Satellite! comprises satellite integration; functional tests in ambient conditions; environmental tests; and concludes with the Flight Acceptance Review. The workshop's objective was to help prepare students for this upcoming Phase by giving them both theoretical insight and hands-on experience of working in a laboratory, and to perform visual inspections of the CubeSat models.
Participants were able to bring their hardware into the new CubeSat Support Facility to perform the inspections and checks together with ESA professionals. This allowed the students to become familiarised with good working standards, and to discover any critical hardware issues early in the process. At the Training and Learning Facility they attended insightful lectures, exercises and group simulations on topics such as vibration testing, product assurance, and spacecraft operations.
They also participated in demonstrations held at the CubeSat Support Facility: with a dummy load installed, the 20 kN Electrodynamic Shaker system was used to simulate the vibrations that their satellites will experience during testing and launch, and they were introduced to the Thermal Vacuum Chamber that will be used to simulate the harsh conditions of space by recreating vacuum and temperature conditions from intense heat to extreme cold.
Said one of the participating students, "The Phase D workshop has been a really useful week. It gave us the possibility to meet experts from ESA and to learn from real cases. Moreover, we were able to talk to other teams that were facing similar challenges as our team."
During the week, each team finally presented their CubeSat design and development status, sharing challenges and solutions with the other teams. The participating currently participating in Fly Your Satellite! 2 are:
- 3Cat-4 (Spain)
- CELESTA (France)
- EIRSAT-1 (Ireland)
- ISTsat-1 (Portugal)
- LEDSAT (Italy)
- UoS3 (United Kingdom)
The students are taking their new knowledge and skills back to their universities, where they will prepare for their upcoming integration and test campaigns, and where they will address any issues found during the inspections.

African Diaspora has played a critical role as a driving force of globalization in promoting cultural exchange, commerce, trade, learning and innovation. Yet despite this impressive track record of success, all too often investments in Africa have been regarded not as an opportunity but rather as a risky venture with little potential for return. Despite the on-going African "economic renaissance", opportunities are poorly understood among diaspora while others continue to reap enormous rewards.

It's been a while since I created any she art like that Christy Tomlinson creates… but this was requested for our art journalling session… and I don't like to say no! Only problem was this was scheduled for October and due to some emotional frailties on my behalf I had to cancel last minute. Fortunately the gang were understanding and I postponed the session till tomorrow.
I usually create she art for canvases on a larger scale but have done notebook covers and a couple of cards before now so knew it was possible. I started creating this sample on a 5.5 x 6 piece of cardstock.
She became sample number 1!
I have another couple of samples to share tomorrow along with hopefully some fab pages the others create.
Happy crafting!

It's time for Fiz to bring in Rick or Calvin to help the team with free throw shooting. There always seen to be a disconnect between all around needs for this team. There is a need for a regular coaching staff member that can coach Big Men. There a need for a defensive minded coach on this team staff. Now there is a need for someone that can help with team free throws.
It would seen like these aspects of assembling a coaching staff was over looked by Fiz. After drafting Knox and Robinson you would have thought that a big men coach would be automatic. Now the problem with free throws.

Dr. Mehmet Oz stops by our show this Friday, April 27 -- and he's talking about his encounter this past weekend with bus fire on the New Jersey Turnpike.
En route to Baltimore for a speaking engagement, Dr. Oz saw the bus, which was carrying music students home from a weekend trip to New York City, in flames on the side of I-95.
He took video of the scene and stopped to help and told Rach:
"And the teachers, like herding cats, got these young people off there," he contined. "You know how time sort of slows down when something bad happens? The reason that happens is we take more snapshots of everything that happens during those crisis moments. I was, in my own mind, revisiting it, as I saw this tire come blowing out and the thing go up in flames, realizing, we could have had dozens of mortalities, and God bless them, not a single kid was hurt because of those teachers."
Watch part of Dr. Oz's interview in the video above, and be sure to tune in for the full segment on Friday, April 27! Check your local showtimes here.

Kerry Exerting Great Effort to Facilitate Escape of U.S. Terrorists from Syria
The Russian-led coalition operating in Syria is determined to defeat the CIA-US State Department terrorists, i.e. regime change proxies collectively branded as the Islamic State.
With the defeat of the US State Department candidate, Hillary Clinton, the same coalition decided to resume with their operations after a 28-day unilateral ceasefire was ignored, i.e. the US failed to separate their "moderate rebels" from their terror mercenaries.

The Top 10 Most Damaging WikiLeaks (so far)
From MostDamagingWikileaks.com
1. Obama lied: he knew about Hillary's secret server and wrote to her using a pseudonym, cover-up happened (intent to destroy evidence)
"Jen you probably have more on this but it looks like POTUS just said he found out HRC was using her personal email when he saw it in the news… we need to clean this up – he has emails from her – they do not say state.gov"
"How is that not classified?" Huma Abedin to FBI when shown email between Clinton & Obama using his pseudonym. Abedin then expressed her amazement at the president's use of a pseudonym and asked if she could have a copy of the email."
I cannot state how huge this is, it's a cover-up involving the President of the United States. There are a lot of emails implying this, but this email states it very clearly so…

PCF Group Plc (LON:PCF), the AIM-listed challenger bank, grew income and earnings per share by more than 50% in the first half of its financial year and said it was "on track" to meet market expectations.
The six months to 31 March saw £121mln of new business origination, with the pace of growth remaining at 75% as in the previous year, with £25mln of new broker commission from the October acquisition of media and broadcast lending specialist Azule. Azule also contributed £8mln to the group's own portfolio and this mix is expected to increase in time as the business becomes further integrated.
READ: PCF Group raises £10mln from share placing to support next phase of growth
The lending portfolio, where the focus on business finance for SMEs and consumer motor finance has been broadened by the addition of Azule and a new property bridging finance division in January, swelled by 54% to £276mln, along with net unearned finance income of £53mln that will be attributed to accounting periods over the next four years. Management aims to grow the total portfolio to £350mln by September 2020.
Operating income generated from the portfolio was up 51% to £10.1mln but PCF's net interest margin slipped to 8.0% from 8.4% a year ago as the group moves to a lower yielding but better-quality portfolio.
Profit before tax jumped 57% to £3.3mln and earnings per share was up by 50% to 1.2p.
Chief executive Scott Maybury said the bank had set ambitious targets and was "on track to deliver these ahead of schedule", with the acquisition and new property lending initiative accompanied by "strong" organic growth in established markets.
Strengthening capital base
"Prudent capital management led us to increase the capital base and diversify the capital structure," he added, in reference to the £10.75mln of new equity issued in March and plan for a £15mln Tier 2 capital facility this month. "This mitigates the potential risk of market volatility that may arise in these uncertain times and provides a strong base to support ongoing growth."
Noting that core equity tier-1 capital ratio ended the period at 19.7% following the March fundraising, broker Shore Capital said: "This strengthening capital base underpins our expectation that PCF can continue to deliver amongst the highest EPS and TNAV growth rates of UK lenders, with the previous £350mln loan book target for FY 2020 likely to be achieved ahead of schedule."
Analysts said the results were in line with expectations and made no changes to forecasts in light of the "cautiously confident" outlook.
PCF shares were up 6% in early trade on Wednesday to 35p.

This is a Jenny Lind bed from Land of Nod...and it is a whopping $649, and like way WAY outside my budget. So I found this gem at a new store in Franklin called Vintage Whimsy. It may be my new favorite place with it's cheap antiques, jewelry, and trinkets...
|sorry for the blur...stupid bright sun
They were a little pricey at $175, but you got two beds (sell the other and get some $$ back?) and they were this great chalk paint green. However, I walked away for a couple hours to see what else I might find at the other local shops and when I went back they were gone!! GONE!! Ugh, I died a little at my stupidity at not grabbing them and stuffing them in the trunk. Oh well, I wasn't meant to have them because I was meant to find this!! He was literally a block away from my house and waiting patiently for me to walk through the door and fall in love...

Volkswagen will reportedly launch the next-generation Mk8 Golf GTI (Golf GTI Vision Gran Turismo shown above) in 2019.
According to Automobile Magazine, the new model will be an evolution of the current model, and based on a modified MQB platform (known internally as MQB Evo) that underpins the current Golf range.
It will be between 22.7 and 45.4kg lighter than the Mk7 Golf GTI and comes with a longer wheelbase. It will also be lower and wider, and have a more rakish windscreen, shorter overhangs and taller beltline. Of course, the Golf's trademark C-pillar will be retained.
The Mk8 Golf GTI will also be the most hi-tech model in the car's history, featuring LED headlights, a digital instrument cluster, head-up display and an infotainment system with voice and gesture recognition technology. The infotainment system is also rumoured to be compatible with MirrorLink, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
In terms of powerplant, the magazine believes the car will likely be powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 223kW. Drive is sent to the front wheels via a six-speed manual or dual-clutch gearbox.
Volkswagen is also allegedly planning the next Golf R with a twin-turbo 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that churns out 257kW.

Record Attendance at the Physics Olympiad in Lisbon
Two silver and one bronze medal for the 5 member German team.
About 400 students from 86 countries took part in the 49th International Physics Olympiad in Lisbon, Portugal, where they solved tricky theoretical and practical physics problems. This is a new record attendance for the competition. The five German Olympic athletes did not achieve the level of performance they had demonstrated in the national selection competition. With two silver and one bronze medal as well as two certificates of recognition, the team nevertheless achieved 23rd place and came home with a very respectable result and with many new impressions.
The International Physics Olympiad - IPhO for short - brings together the best young physics talents from the participating countries. They prove their skills in physics and try to win a coveted Olympic medal. The 49th IPhO took place from July 21st – 29th, 2018 in Lisbon, Portugal, and was attended by 396 students from 86 countries. The competition was organized by the Portuguese Ministry of Education and the Portuguese Physics Society. In addition to the academic program, the hosts introduced the delegates to the many facets of the country and its people.
The German national team consisted of:
- Wilhelm Holfeld (Martin-Andersen-Nexö-Gymnasium, Dresden)
- Tim Pokart (Max-Steenbeck-Gymnasium, Cottbus)
- Pascal Reeck (Wilhelm-Ostwald-Gymnasium, Leipzig)
- Jule Schrepfer (Goetheschule, Ilmenau)
- David Ventzke (Wilhelm-Ostwald-Gymnasium, Leipzig)
These five secured a position in the competition from 930 students nationwide at the four-stage Physics Olympiad in Germany and were then prepped for the competition. They were accompanied to Lisbon by Dr. Stefan Petersen from the Leibniz Institute for Science and Mathematics Education at Kiel University, who is responsible for the selection and training of the team, and two former IPhO participants Bastian Hacker (MPQ Garching) and Philipp Schmitt (University of Copenhagen).
The central element of the IPhO were the two (one experimental and one theoretical) five-hour physics exams. Here, the organizers selected current topics, such as the detection of gravitational waves, studies on neutrinos in particle experiments and physics in blood circulation and tumor growth, and integrated them into theoretical tasks. The experimental exam also consisted of exciting contents such as electronic circuits on paper and viscoelastic strains. Unfortunately, the experiments were so extensive that none of the participants were able to answer all the questions in depth during the exam. Apart from this, however, the tasks were excellently prepared, so that there were no substantial changes to the tasks among the heads of delegations during the preparatory discussion.
Unfortunately, the German team members did not perform as well as at the Physics Olympics in Germany and in the preparatory training in the exams. Some of the tasks were very difficult nuts to crack.
At the IPhO closing ceremony, both Pascal Reeck and David Ventzke received a silver medal for their achievements. As the best silver medalist, Pascal, who was already a member of the German IPhO team last year, just missed out on a gold medal. A bronze medal went to Wilhelm Holfeld and both Tim Pokart and Jule Schrepfer won an Honorable Mention, the fourth prize category after the medals.
In the unofficial country ranking by points, the German team is ranked 23rd and is thus almost among the top twenty-five percent of the participating nations. The most successful participating countries and also the most successful students again came from Asia.
The IPhO in Portugal was an exciting experience for the German team. The organizers deserve great praise for the smooth organization of the competition and the diverse supporting program.
The team of the Physics Olympiad in Germany would like to thank all supporters of the competition for a very good year of competition and is already looking forward to the 50th International Physics Olympiad, which will take place in Tel Aviv, Israel, in July 2019.

Category: Historical Fiction
England, 1176. King Henry II has imprisoned his rebellious Queen for attempting to overthrow him. But with her conspirators still at large and a failed assassination attempt on his beautiful mistress, Rosamund Clifford, the King must take action to preserve his reign. Desperate, Henry turns to the only man he trusts: a man whose skills have saved him once before. Sir Benedict Palmer answers the call, mistakenly believing that his family will remain safe while he attends to his King. As Palmer races to secure the throne for the King, neither man senses the hand of a brilliant schemer, a mystery figure loyal to Henry's traitorous Queen who will stop at nothing to see the King defeated. The Blood of the Fifth Knight is an intricate medieval murder mystery and a worthy follow-on to E.M. Powell's acclaimed historical thriller The Fifth Knight.
