Sun-kissed and exotic, beach-lined and steeped in culture; historical, proud, diverse and full of passion and fine food…it has a magnetism that's hard to resist.
The cradle of Western Civilisation, Greece is home to some of the greatest attractions in Europe, and people flock to see them every year.
But while the majority of travelers head straight to its picture-perfect islands and white sand beaches (perhaps after the obligatory few days in Athens), the Northern part of the country is often overlooked.
Northern Greece is as diverse and spectacular as the rest of the country and simply should not to be missed! So, to convince anyone without this magical place already on their agenda to go, here are seven of the top things to do there!
Things to do in Northern Greece
1.Walk around the beautiful coastal town of Parga
Situated on the North Western Coast of Greece is the charming, picturesque town of Parga.
Honestly, this place was made for postcards- it is absolutely beautiful and is truly picture perfect. Colorful houses rise up the hillside, overlooking the stunning white sand beaches and harbor front.
Walk down the cobbled streets of the old town; meander idly around the cafes, shops, and bars that cater for the mass of tourists that visit here each year.
Make sure you walk around the ruins of the ancient Parga Castle on the hillside too and look out from on high at the marvelous township below.
2. Visit the mighty Vikos Gorge
The incredible Vikos Gorge is in the Pindus Mountains of Northern Greece, set deep within the Vikos–Aoös National Park. It is 20km long and in places 490 meters deep and 400 meters wide.
The gorge is staggering to behold, breathtaking to experience and utterly mind-blowing to explore. If you're heading to Greece, visit the Gorge!
The tiny village of Vikos is a great starting point for exploring this magical place. There are heaps of hiking opportunities all around, viewing points aplenty and lots of gorgeous little mountain top villages for accommodation.
3. Get out on Lake Pamvotida in historical Ioannina
Next up is the buzzing city of Ioannina (Yannena), situated on the banks of the beautiful Lake Pamvotida. The atmosphere is vibrant and lively, and there's a lot to do here, so consider spending a good few days sampling all that Ioannina has to offer.
Explore the castle town (the oldest Byzantine fortress in Greece), which is inhabited to this day, to learn all about the remarkable history of the city.
And make the most of the Lake too! It is possible to simply walk around it, but I recommend taking a boat out to the island at its center as well. This cool little island is home to multiple ancient temples, which you can go inside to see remarkable religious paintings that adorn the walls.
4. Explore the magical monasteries of Meteora
Meteora is a unique, special place where ancient monasteries sit precipitously atop vast rock pillars. High above the town of Kalambaka, you can explore centuries-old buildings of immense spiritual significance, hundreds of meters up in the air.
If you fancy a hike, it is possible to go by foot up the mountainside to each monastery. Otherwise, there are numerous tour companies that can take you where you wish to go, or you can hop on a public bus from Kalambaka too.
Each monastery requires a €3 per person donation upon entry, and all six monasteries are majestic. The atmosphere is awe-inspiring, peaceful and sublime; the perfect place to pause, reflect and be present.
A visit to this remarkable part of the World should be a must for anyone visiting Greece.
5. Visit the Mythical Gods at Mount Olympus
At 2,918 meters, the highest mountain in Greece has long been a mythical place, where the Gods of Ancient Greece were said to reside.
These days though, people visit for a legendary experience of their own: partaking in mountaineering and other outdoor pursuits in a location renowned for its fantastic and diverse fauna and flora, surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty.
Litochoro, known as the City of the Gods, is about 100km away from Thessaloniki and the gateway that most people use to explore the mountain.
6. Soak up the City Life of Thessaloniki
This hugely popular ancient city is the second largest in Greece and is thousands of years old. Its history is incredibly rich, with heavy influences found throughout from its Roman, Byzantine and then Ottoman past.
Due to its geographical location, Thessaloniki has been a site of immense importance in Greece for millennia. Hailed as a cosmopolitan hub of art, culture, architecture and gastronomic experiences, it remains an important city in the country and draws tourists in droves to each year.
There's a wealth of things to do in Thessaloniki, so take some time to really experience the city.
Walk along the seafront, visit the Byzantine castles, explore the museums and seek out the dozens of amazing architectural hotspots around, such as the White Tower.
7. Visit the Paradise that is the Halkidiki Peninsula
Last but by no means least, is the paradise that is Halkidiki Peninsula. This stunning place is recognizable by its 'three fingers,' which extend from the mainland out into the Aegean Sea.
The peninsular is characterized by lush forest that opens up onto pristine sandy beaches and clear blue waters. It is a haven for travelers and tourists. Halkidiki is a popular destination for locals too.
Though all are renowned for their wonderful beaches, each 'finger' has its own vibe, with Kassandra known as the most built up of the three; head there for resorts and thriving night life. Sithonia, by contrast, is said to be far quieter and less crowded. Finally, Athos has been untouched by modern development and is more popular among locals.
Athos is also famous for its monastic community on Mount Athos, known for its strict rules (based upon their religious beliefs) around living and visiting there.
Whichever finger you find yourself on, you'll be sure to enjoy your time on the Halkidiki Peninsula.
And that brings to an end my list of the top things to do in Northern Greece. The North of the country is a truly incredible place to visit, and this is by no means an exhaustive list of all there is to do there.
Head to Greece, venture up North, and you're bound to have an amazing time!

Council begins Long Term Plan decision making
Clutha District Councillors last night (23 May) started making decisions about the proposed Long Term Plan 2018/28.
Following a month long consultation process that resulted in more than 370 submissions and two sessions of verbal hearings, Council has made a wide range of decisions about the 10-year plan.
Council will meet for further decisions tonight, before the proposed Long Term Plan is audited and formally adopted on 13 June. More information about the decisions and rates impact will be available after tonight's meeting.
Decisions about key issues as highlighted in our consultation document were as follows:
In addition following a number of public submissions about the state of gravel roads, Council approved
Other decisions included:
Council has received a large number of requests for grants from community groups for the 2018/19 year, a full list of what has been approved or not will be available following tonight's meeting.
Following feedback about proposed changes to our dog fees, Council adopted the following: A rural working dog will now cost $38 to register A rural non-working dog will now cost $48 to register All urban dogs will now cost $68 to register
In addition, responsible dog owners will now pay $48 with a one-off application fee of $20.
These are different to the proposed fees changes we consulted on, and the changes are based on feedback and how to split the dog fees in the most equitable way, as well as trying to reflect the areas in which most of our response work is carried out. It's also worth noting that our animal control activity has been running at a deficit for the past two years and will also be in deficit this year, these new fees will help alleviate this.
Fees are currently $26 for working and non-working rural dogs and $58 for all urban dogs. The new fees will take place from 1 July 2018.

It's a lovely vacation Hump Day here in Tokyo, which for some reason arrives a day earlier than the usual Hump Day. Go figure.
Moving right along: Socialism, working as intended. Excerpt:
Venezuela was a socialist paradise until it became a nightmare. Now no one on the left wants to talk about it. All the more reason to talk about it and to study closely the complete collapse of a society that elected a socialist goon promising to wipe out inequality. He did that in a sense. Money is so worthless in today's Venezuela that almost anyone can be a millionaire and almost everyone is equally starving and miserable. The only solution for many people is to flee the country. Venezuelan socialism has led to one of the largest mass migrations in South American history, with up to 1.5 million Venezuelans fleeing the country in the past two years.
Yesterday the Washington Post and Reuters both published lengthy stories focused on the exodus of starving and desperate people. Reuters reporters spent 9 days on a bus full of people hoping to find work in neighboring countries most had never even visited.
Here's the money quote:
The Maduro regime in Venezuela is officially downplaying the exodus but it's also benefitting from it. People trying to stay alive have little time or energy to protest. And those who do go abroad usually send a portion of what they earn to family back home. Those remittances help to keep the country afloat.
Socialist countries, then, can only stay afloat if they have nearby, more free-market countries to help prop them up by absorbing some workers who send hard currencies back to the folks at home.
It's not an uncommon argument among the American Left to proclaim that socialism hasn't worked in other countries because of the incompetence of the people in charge. "It wasn't done right" isn't a convincing argument; it presumes too much on the need to find the right Top Men, and far too much on the idea that our pols are any less incompetent that Venezuela's- or the Soviet Union's.
That idea is just downright amusing.
Venezuela is not a failure of socialism. Venezuela is what happens when socialism succeeds – it is the inevitable end-state of a system that flies in the face of human nature. It has been the inevitable end result of every purely socialist system, everywhere.
Liberty, on the other hand, works every time it's tried.

Na Fianna GAA Football Club Club Notes
Na Fianna U 14 Footballers took part in the Leinster Football Feile last weekend and were drawn in Div 4 with the games taking place in Portarlington. In their first game Na Fianna came up against Trim from Co Meath. A penalty just on the stoke of half time excellantly dispatched to the net by Clint Horan saw Na Fianna lead at the break by 1-03 to 0-05. Na Fianna maintained the lead until the last 5 mins of the second half when Trim pulled clear to claim the win on a scoreline of 2-04 to 4-09. This put Na Fianna through to play Park Ratheniska of Laois in the Quarter Final, who had already beaten Ballymahon of Longford in their first game and this Quarter Final proved to be a very exciting encounter. In the first half the Laois side raced into a 5 point lead before Na Fianna came back helped by 2 goals from Jack O'Brien to lead at the break by 2-02 to 0-05. Then in a dramatic second half the sides exchanged the lead on at least 5 separate occasions. Going into the last minute it was Na Fianna who were leading by 2 points and with virtually the last attack of the game Park Ratheniska broke through to score a goal which saw them win out by just the minimum margin on a scoreline of 3-08 to 3-07.This result saw Na Fianna bow out of the competition but the players can feel proud of their very encouraging display which they battled right to the end.
NA FIANNA: James Boland, Colin Keogh, Clint Horan, Liam Langton, Sean Rigney, David Buckley, Stephen Pierce, Nathan Valentine, Sam Burns, C J Reilly, Kevin Leen, Peter Walsh, Robert Milner, Adam Kelly, Colm Corcoran, Jack O'Brien, Ray Daly, Conor O'Meara, John Cummins, Kevin Kinahan, Colm McDermott, Sean McEloran, Gavin Murphy, Dylan Hyland.
Na Fianna U10 Footballers continue their campaign this Saturday morning (11th June) at 11:00am as they take on St Rynaghs in Geashill. All support would be appreciated.
Following their exploits in the Leinster Feile Na Fianna U14 Footbllers resume their Championship campaign next Monday evening (13 June) @ 7:30pm as they take on Shamrocks in Mucklagh. All support would be appreciated.
Best of Luck to any of our club players who will be sitting the Junior & Leaving Cert Exams this week.
Membership for club players has been fixed for the coming year at €15 for the first child and €10 for the second and subsequent child from each family. Membership can be paid to the relevant team managers when training re-commences.

A call for Member Associations to utilise the excellent BASIS programme opportunity
Published by
Alan Raftery
The Badminton Administrative Support and Information Sharing programme (BASIS), exists to support Member Associations (MAs) and their staff or volunteers to further develop and grow many aspects of their operation. It is an offering extended to MAs of all sizes, and we would like to encourage interested parties to apply now.
BASIS is first and foremost a 'demand-led' programme, meaning that you tell us what you need or want, and we can work with you to build a support offering that accommodates the appropriate areas. Therefore, please do reach out to start the conversation right away. We are also taking an evidence-based approach to BASIS. With the help of the results of the BEC Member Survey, Badminton Europe Confederation (BEC) is proactively engaging with MAs to suggest that they apply for programmes that provide support in the areas where they have identified that they need our help.
BEC provides financial support for costs associated with participation. Visit the website for more information on all of the many other programmes that are offered under BASIS.
Emma Mason, BEC Director and Chair of the Member Support Commission, is proud of what the BASIS programme has achieved thus far but encourages more Member Associations to come forward and be a part of the exciting future activities.
"At BEC, we are committed to developing European badminton and our MAs. We recognise that to achieve the results the European badminton community wants in High Performance, Commercial and Major Events, BEC must help increase the knowledge and capacity of our MAs from an administrative perspective. BASIS has been designed to do just that. The range of programmes that we are offering under BASIS is increasing year on year as we better understand the areas where most help is needed and where we can add most value to our MAs. I'd like to encourage all MAs who have an interest in the BASIS programmes to contact Tania Teoh at BEC (details below) to find out how we can assist you. We look forward to working with you!"
Shadow towards success
One such support activity can be the Shadow Programme, which provides an opportunity for MAs to send an employee or retiring player to BEC activities/events and shadow a key member of staff. Through this, the individual will gain direct experience of preparation and delivery of major events.
Georgiy Natarov and Artem Stasiuk from the Ukrainian Badminton Association took part in a shadow programme at the recent European Men's and Women's Team Championship in Liévin, France. For them it was an invaluable process in the lead up to hosting the European Championships in Kyiv next month. Natarov shares his thoughts on the programme.
"It was a great experience to see how a really good team is running the biggest team event in Europe on a high level. From day one we saw good coordination of all the planning inside the venue."
"We had an opportunity to talk about major events with the organisers and Yonex team which will help us a lot to make good preparation work for us. We learnt a lot from this event." Stasiuk added.
The cycle of knowledge sharing continues, as Michał Langer, General Secretary of the Polish Badminton Association will be partaking in the shadow programme at the European Championships in Kyiv. He is looking to take a lot from the event and utilise them at the European Club Championships and European Junior Championships taking place in Poland this year.
Michał Langer will be shadowing BEC Events Manager, Tamara Geerearts amongst others, gaining transferable skills and knowledge on delivering a successful major event.
In addition, potential hosts bidding for the BEC Congress will be for the first-time sending representatives to shadow key BEC staff at this year's BEC Congress in Bucharest, Romania. This event is an important opportunity to network and exchange ideas amongst member associations and celebrate the efforts of the badminton community with the backdrop of a picturesque host city.
If you think the various Shadow Programmes are applicable to you, or a member of your team, click
for more information.
We come to you
Another great option is Representative Visits. This is where BEC staff visit an MA, focusing on certain key areas, and amongst many things, share information, network, meet with officials and local authorities. Karla Kennedy, who is a Membership & Development Intern at Badminton Ireland greatly benefitted from this programme.
"Although we are all so tech-savvy these days and often think that we know how to use social media, it is constantly evolving, and we must keep up to date with it. The training provided some valuable insights about how to use social media advantageously in our business and some tips to help along the way."
If you are looking to improve and develop a certain aspect of your association, we can help. You can focus on areas such as:
•Events Management
•General Development Planning
•General High Performance Planning
•Para badminton
•Gender Equity
for more information on each area.
Best umpires in the world
We aspire to enhance all our MAs domestic umpire education system through the National Umpire Education Programme. This is a vital component in the world of badminton. A sentiment shared by Sven Serré, BEC Director, creator of the National Umpire Education Programme and one of the tutors for this course.
"It is a great opportunity to gather many countries together in order to help them bring their national level of umpires closer to the required BEC standard and continue to have the best umpires in the world."
If this appeals to you, click
for more information.
BEC Strategic Planning Day
Another initiative under the BASIS Programme is organizing the BEC Strategic Planning Day for selected MAs. This year, the BEC Strategic Planning Day will take place on 2nd April 2020 in Bucharest, one day before the start of the BEC Congress.
To learn more about all the Member Support activities within the BASIS Programme, click
If you are interested or have any questions at all, contact Tania Teoh, BEC Development and High Performance Manager at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
There will also be an opportunity for you to discuss BASIS with Tania Teoh and Emma Mason during the Commission Clinics at the upcoming BEC Members Forum in Bucharest, Romania. We look forward to seeing you there!

Is There Such A Thing As A High-Functioning Personality Disorder?
Personality disorders and substance use disorders, more commonly referred to as addictions, are commonly co-occurring. In somewhat of a chicken or the egg debate, it is understood that personality disorders cause a greater risk for addiction, especially if they go untreated. Addiction can inspire the development of a personality disorder, however, a personality disorder is more often a primary condition which inspires addiction.
Compared to mood disorder or psychiatric disorders, personality disorders are often pushed to the wayside in their importance for treatment and their ability to affect someone's life. Like any mental illness, a personality disorder can become detrimental if left untreated. Millions of people live with untreated personality disorders on a daily basis. Thriving without major issue, these individuals see no need to undergo any kind of formal treatment to address minor or major issues which could be creating conflict in their lives. Though on the outside these individuals seem to be successful and high-functioning, on the inside they may be facing intense mental and emotional turmoil. The "high-functioning personality disorder" is, for this reason, considered mythological.
When we live with high-functioning personality disorders, we live in a state of denial which allows us to be comfortable with a certain discomfort. Overtime, that discomfort weighs on our spirits, minds, and bodies like gears grinding without oil. Though our gears continue to grind, they don't work as effectively or efficiently as they could with support. Treatment, therapy, and clinical care for a personality disorder co-occurring with a substance use disorder offer that support. High-functioning lifestyles are only high-functioning for so long. Recovery and everything that the lifestyle of recovery incorporates, provides daily tools, healing, growth, and learning which makes the intricate system of someone's life run more and more smoothly.
The myth of high-functioning personality disorders are tempting to believe because our lives are convincing on the outside. Depending on the personality disorder, our lives may be very well convinced on the inside as well. If we are suffering, if our professional lives are suffering, if our personal lives are suffering, we have to surrender to the power of mythology and accept reality. Recovery is a myth we can believe in, achieve, and live.
Our Professionals Treatment Program was designed by professionals for professionals using the best practices proven to change lives. Call the Center For Professional Recovery today: 855-422-4129

Best Practices:
Survey Tool & UAD Integration
To integrate survey results with the Unified Audience Database (UAD), follow these suggestions for creating surveys and questions that will help maintain the integrity of your data.
- Be Consistent
- Be Straightforward
- Be Concise
- Condense your questions
- Make questions mandatory (required) to verify you are collecting proper data
- NO free form text questions (unless for basic standard profile information – email address, name)
- NO grid-style questions
- Verify/Validate questions prior to sending an email campaign
- You are unable to edit survey questions/answers once respondents answer a survey
- Use the email campaign survey URL in an Email Campaign to assist in gathering respondents' email addresses – this will help map the respondents in the UAD by their email address. The direct URL link will generate anonymous email addresses.
- Remember what the survey was named – as that is the Group name that is auto-generated in the Email Marketing tool to house any survey respondents.
- Provide your Audience Specialist with the following information to begin the integration process:
- Group ID # (from Email Marketing Group)
- Product Name (ex. Surveys)
- Desired PUB CODE for surveys (ex. Survey Name)
- Survey Product Mapping Intake Form (provided by Audience Specialist)

In 2016/2017, the Delaware Valley Regional High School engaged educational and community stakeholders to analyze our declining enrollment to identify and recommend steps to ensure our ability to continue to deliver a quality educational and co-curricular program. The focus was to include developing plans in the areas of finance; facilities and transportation; and curriculum and instruction, including technology.
The result is the Delaware Valley Regional High School Educational Long Range Plan (in alignment with the DVRHS Strategic Plan)
Strategy: Utilize Career Clusters and Pathways as a means of bridging high school and post-high school plans of study or career options.
Action Plans:
3.1 Select programs of study based upon student interest and available resources.
3.2 The district will establish "academy-like" programs aligned to selected Career Clusters and Pathways.
3.3 Partner students and local businesses to provide for internships, mentorships, structured learning experiences, and other learning experiences outside of the traditional classroom.

food and then quickly disappeared in the
many crevices of rocks lining the bottom
of my tank. Next we tried to count them
and we found approximately nine fry, each
measuring about a half inch long. They
were a pale sunrise orange in color, but I
had so many species of African cichlids in
that tank that I did not know what type
they were. At first I thought they were
Pseudotropheus crabro (bumblebee) because
of how interested the female seemed to a
baby. Then I thought they might be zebras
because of the coloring, and I remembered
that one of the zebras had recently died
after swelling in size.
Next I was concerned about feeding—
what was I going to feed them? I feed my
cichlids tropical flake food. I watched,
and the smallest particles would slowly
drift near to the crevices where the fry
were hiding. A baby would zip out, grab
a particle, and zoom back in the cave,
even if a big cichlid was nearby. My father
suggested that we get some brine shrimp.
I assured him that they were feeding just
fine. My fry were healthy and thriving,
and I was more worried about my larger
cichlids obliterating them.
As the days passed by the babies grew
bolder and bolder, coming out in the
open for longer and longer periods. To
my relief the adults rarely attacked them.
My dad once thought he saw a giant
danio swallow a baby. It's been a month
now and we have counted six babies,
each about one inch long. Often you will
see them swimming about in the open. It
doesn't bother me too much to have lost
some fish because I know that is how
nature works.
I enjoyed this experience so much that I
started breeding Neolamprologus brichardi
(Princess of Burundi), and now I have 34
of those fry, each measuring about 0.2
inches long. Sometimes you don't have
to work as hard as you might think to
breed fish! Sometimes it just means doing
things a little differently. I realized that
when breeding fish you can't expect all
of them to live. My next challenge is to
see my young fish successfully grow to
maturity. I also plan to enter the Breeder
Award Program at the local aquarium
club because this is really fun. I hope you
enjoyed this story as much as I had fun
experiencing it!

By The Gorgeous Palah Chingu (This would be my shortest review ever as i dont have much to say about it).
I don't always watch local film but when I do, it always tainted by a bad script and mediocre actors. Remember when I said that I like bollywood films (though it is overdose with illogical action stunts and sometimes with lengthy unnecessary story line) than my own local films? It is all because of our local films usually end products of bad script and mediocre actors. I am going to be brutally honest, I did watch some of local films back then, and there are certain films that I like. Some of the local films that I like are Songlap, Tanda Putera, Puteri Gunung ledang, Merong Mahawangsa, Sekali lagi, Bohsia: Jangan Pilih Jalan Hitam (shaheizy sam and salina saibi are among good actors in malaysia) and some of old stuffs back in P.Ramlee time. All of them are not so bad but to be considered as good film entirely, ehhh… I don't know.
How to redeem KIL in my review? I am not planning to be a bitch saying I don't like it, and don't tell why. Fortunately, there is something that I like in this film. On that remark, I will start with a good points. First, the idea is totally abnormal (not in a bad way but in a good way). The film begins with the story of suicidal boy, a girl he met a few days after he decided to end his life and his involvement with some sort of agency that assists in staging the suicide. I don't get that from my own film industry. They always produced a recycled love story over and over again. Film like this gives me a similar feeling back then when I watched Songlap (2011). There is my first point, why I don't hate this film. It was because of a very peculiar idea and story in the film.
Second, there is no cheesy love line or the first at love sight moment that I usually encounter when watching local film. It is just the 2 strangers; Akil and Zara live in the same building somewhere at Kuala Lumpur. They ended up bumping into each other at KTM and Elevator. Zara suspected Akil of stalking her and apologized to him as it turned to be a misundersatnding because they live in the same building. They became friends and enjoyed each other company. It is simple and it doesn't always have to be love to tied main characters in the story. The third point is this film marking a debut of new director, Nik Amir Mustapha. He got gut and vision. He doesn't debut with overdose cheesy romantic film that I can't stand of. He tried a very unconventional approach to make his debut. He succeeded though he got many things to improve in this film.
Why I don't like it? Oh my god, the script was written by the director of this film. He is good in directing, I like the flow of the film but I despised the script. It was bad script. He should give someone much more expert to revise his script. The raw idea of the script should not be amended but it needs upgrading in some aspects. The other things that I don't like are the main actors of the film, Redza Minhat and Christina Suzanne. The film could have been better if they are portrayed by some of the good actors (though I admit that we are so freaking lack of ) in Malaysia. They both can act, but failed to make me feel the emotions. I don't know whether their mediocrity of acting or I am just some emotionless person.
This film somehow showed that our local film industry could breakthrough and continues their effort in producing unconventional films in the future. I lauded the good try by the director of this film.

Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania: Excerpt
Dickinson writes on the importance of opposing the Townshend Acts, which threatened the sovereignty of the Thirteen Colonies.
In this excerpt from the first of John Dickinson's Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania to the Inhabitants of the British Colonies, Dickinson contends that unilateral parliamentary taxation represents a complete repudiation of colonial sovereignty because taxation is an expression of the broader authority to compel compliance and punish disobedience. The first in a series of twelve open letters, it was dated November 5th, 1767, the seventy‐ninth anniversary of the landing of William the Third at Torbay, but was initially published in the Pennsylvania Chronicle and Universal Advertiser on November 30th. Subsequent installments followed weekly.
The full text of Dickinson's Letters can be found at the Online Library of Liberty.
With a good deal of surprise I have observed, that little notice has been taken of an act of parliament, as injurious in its principle to the liberties of these colonies, as the Stamp Act was: I mean the act for suspending the legislation of New York.
The assembly of that government complied with a former act of parliament, requiring certain provisions to be made for the troops in America, in every particular, I think, except the articles of salt, pepper and vinegar. In my opinion they acted imprudently, considering all circumstances, in not complying so far as would have given satisfaction, as several colonies did: But my dislike of their conduct in that instance, has not blinded me so much, that I cannot plainly perceive, that they have been punished in a manner pernicious to American freedom, and justly alarming to all the colonies.
If the British parliament has legal authority to issue an order, that we shall furnish a single article for the troops here, and to compel obedience to that order, they have the same right to issue an order for us to supply those troops with arms, clothes, and every necessary; and to compel obedience to that order also; in short, to lay any burthens they please upon us. What is this but taxing us at a certain sum, and leaving to us only the manner of raising it? How is this mode more tolerable than the Stamp Act? Would that act have appeared more pleasing to Americans, if being ordered thereby to raise the sum total of the taxes, the mighty privilege had been left to them, of saying how much should be paid for an instrument of writing on paper, and how much for another on parchment?
An act of parliament, commanding us to do a certain thing, if it has any validity, is a tax upon us for the expense that accrues in complying with it; and for this reason, I believe, every colony on the continent, that chose to give a mark of their respect for Great Britain, in complying with the act relating to the troops, cautiously avoided the mention of that act, lest their conduct should be attributed to its supposed obligation.
The matter being thus stated, the assembly of New York either had, or had not, a right to refuse submission to that act. If they had, and I imagine no American will say they had not, then the parliament had no right to compel them to execute it. If they had not this right, they had no right to punish them for not executing it; and therefore no right to suspend their legislation, which is a punishment. In fact, if the people of New York cannot be legally taxed but by their own representatives, they cannot be legally deprived of the privilege of legislation, only for insisting on that exclusive privilege of taxation. If they may be legally deprived in such a case, of the privilege of legislation, why may they not, with equal reason, be deprived of every other privilege? Or why may not every colony be treated in the same manner, when any of them shall dare to deny their assent to any impositions, that shall be directed? Or what signifies the repeal of the Stamp Act, if these colonies are to lose their other privileges, by not tamely surrendering that of taxation?
There is one consideration arising from this suspension, which is not generally attended to, but shows its importance very clearly. It was not necessary that this suspension should be caused by an act of parliament. The crown might have restrained the governor of New York, even from calling the assembly together, by its prerogative in the royal governments. This step, I suppose, would have been taken, if the conduct of the assembly of New York had been regarded as an act of disobedience to the crown alone; but it is regarded as an act of "disobedience to the authority of the British Legislature." This gives the suspension 1 a consequence vastly more affecting. It is a parliamentary assertion of the supreme authority of the British legislature over these colonies, in the point of taxation, and is intended to compel New York into a submission to that authority. It seems therefore to me as much a violation of the liberties of the people of that province, and consequently of all these colonies, as if the parliament had sent a number of regiments to be quartered upon them till they should comply. For it is evident, that the suspension is meant as a compulsion; and the method of compelling is totally indifferent. It is indeed probable, that the sight of redcoats, and the hearing of drums, would have been most alarming; because people are generally more influenced by their eyes and ears, than by their reason. But whoever seriously considers the matter, must perceive that a dreadful stroke is aimed at the liberty of these colonies. I say, of these colonies; for the cause of one is the cause of all. If the parliament may lawfully deprive New York of any of her rights, it may deprive any, or all the other colonies of their rights; and nothing can possibly so much encourage such attempts, as a mutual inattention to the interests of each other. To divide, and thus to destroy, is the first political maxim in attacking those, who are powerful by their union. He certainly is not a wise man, who folds his arms, and reposes himself at home, viewing, with unconcern, the flames that have invaded his neighbor's house, without using any endeavors to extinguish them. When Mr. Hampden's ship money case, for Three Shillings and Four‐pence, was tried, all the people of England, with anxious expectation, interested themselves in the important decision; and when the slightest point, touching the freedom of one colony, is agitated, I earnestly wish, that all the rest may, with equal ardor, support their sister. Very much may be said on this subject; but I hope, more at present is unnecessary.
- This refers to the New York Restraining Act, part of the Townshend Acts which suspended the New York Assembly until it complied with the Quartering Act. ↩

As exciting as beginning a home based business is, there are many difficulties you may have to get through first before you can make money from home. The tips below, though, can help you get a running start and show you what are the work from home opportunities.
If your home office has enough room, create a portion of it as a separate sitting area with a couch or lounge chair. When the work you need to do does not involve the computer, utilize this relaxing space. It can help you brainstorm, spur your creativity and keep you fresh.
Look for online business opportunities that target people who are looking for personal attention for some of their regular needs. For example, for many people who are frequently out of town, they would rather hire a pet sitter to watch their pets instead of boarding them in a kennel because they want personal attention for their pets. The key is to find a way to offer customized services that a larger company cannot offer.
If you have developed a product that you want to sell on a wholesale basis, identify your potential business customers through search engine results, local stores or word of mouth. Contact these stores via email, asking them if you can send them a free sample or wholesale package with several samples. Follow up after sending to help make the sale.
Use an attention-grabbing name for your website domain. There are many different websites and you want to make sure that yours stands out from the rest. A catchy name can be the perfect thing to get traffic to your site, it will be easy for a potential customer to remember and easy for them to access.
A home businesses is special in that you make your own schedule and are your own boss. However, a good tip to consider is to employ a close friend as an adviser. Often times you can be seduced to be far too leisurely with it because it is from your own home. Having that friend as an adviser will help keep you honest about the business.
For your home business, give your customers the option of buying your product online. Online payments are very common and some customers may be less likely to buy your product if they see that online payments are not an option. You can offer the option of telephone payment, as well as, online payments.
Having a online business does not mean you have to go without standard things other businesses operate with. For instance, you can easily set up to accept credit card payments through various payment services on the web. It will make it so people can purchase items from you immediately online, and lends your home based business more legitimacy.
Do not risk failure by failing to explore all of your networking options. Register yourself and your business on online professional networking and small business communities sites and interact often with others. Attend local seminars, conventions, and lectures marketed toward small or start-up home businesses. You will absorb valuable information and spread the word about your company.
Many people want to be their own boss while doing things they like. It takes a lot of work but can be very rewarding, financially and personally. Use the tips here to avoid the pitfalls that a home business can entail.

Airport '77 (1977)
50th Academy Awards 1978
2/5 Stars
Nominated for 2 awards.
Nominated for Art Direction (George Webb, Mickey S. Michaels) and Costume Design (Edith Head, Buron Miller).
Watched November 1, 2012.
I have heard tales of these films, the popular series that began with a study of the chaos at airports and gradually made its way to basic blockbuster adventure stories involving airplanes. If any of you have seen the popular comedy Airplane and did not know, it is a parody of the Airport movies of the seventies. After watching Airport '77, I want to watch the rest, not because it was a brilliant feat, but because of the hilarious parodies of Airplane that I noticed while watching the film.
Airport '77 is about a group of privileged people who are taking the first flight ever on a new luxury 747. The owner has invited them all to his place in Florida to view his art collection. Among the passengers are his daughter and grandson, whom he has not seen in years. The adventure and suspense in this film starts from almost the very beginning, when we are introduced to men wearing disguises and sneaking suspiciously through the airplane. Really what they are doing is hijacking the plane.
The copilot and his fellow theifs are stealing the art pieces in the cargo. They knock everyone out with gas and are intending on getting the pieces off the plane before anyone knows what has gone down, but inevitably, during the copilot's maneuvers to stay below the radar in the Bermuda Triangle, they hit an oil rig and crash land in the ocean, sinking beneath the surface and settling on the edge of an underwater cliff. There is plenty of panic, death, and cut away shots to the Navy's control room where they orchestrate the search and rescue. There is, of course, a doctor on board the plane (isn't there always in the movies?), but they at least add a little twist in that he is a veterinarian. The film even ends in an epic attempt to raise the plane in the same manner that the Navy would raise a distressed submarine.
Apparently they had a stacked cast for this film, among them Jack Lemmon, Lee Grant, Olivia de Havilland, and Christopher Lee to name a few. Despite their talent pool, the demand of the characters was limited and there was very little study of how individuals might react if they suddenly awoke to find their plane at the bottom of the ocean. The storytelling was typical and predictable. How many times can you show water leaking into the plane and expect the suspense to build? There are a few sequences that are exciting and interesting, although it reminded me drastically of other unlikely stories such as Poseidon.
To be honest I am curious how the film earned itself its nominations. Looking at the art direction and costume design by themselves I am thoroughly unimpressed by their mediocrity. This may be a matter of societal distance, as the criteria of films in the 70s and films in the 21st century are quite different.
Airport '77 has become one of those bad movies you might watch part of on TV, but beyond that it is nothing impressive. If you like unrealistic disaster movies like Poseidon you might want to look up this film, but otherwise it is not something I would advise for your list.

…Says success beginning of end attacks, killings
By Joseph Erunke – Abuja
The Global Peace and Life Rescue Initiative, GOPRI, has commanded men of Operation Safe Haven, OPSH, for apprehending suspected bandits and criminals who have been terrorising Southern Kaduna.
Some suspected criminal elements likely to have been involved in the attacks and isolated killings in the area were arrested by security operatives deployed to the area.
The Sector Commander of Operation Safe Haven in Kafanchan, Colonel David Nwakonobi, had said eight suspects were arrested at different locations with dangerous weapons in their possession during the operation carried out by the task force.
Items recovered from the suspected bandits paraded by security operatives in Kaduna included locally fabricated pump action guns, locally made pistols, 9 mm ammunition, machetes, and motorcycles.
Reacting to the success of security operatives, GOPRI said it was highly elated that the painstaking and tireless efforts being put by OPSH and other security agencies to arrest the ugly situation in Southern Kaduna had started to yield positive results.

The group, working on sustainable peacebuilding in Southern Kaduna and other restive parts of Nigeria, in a statement, Monday, by its Executive Director, Amb. Melvin Ejeh said the success was a step towards ending the attacks and isolated killings in the area
Ejeh said he was optimistic that given the development, the end to the persistent attacks and isolated killings in the area was near.
The humanitarian group with interest in peacebuilding across the country described the arrest of the suspected bandits and criminals as a major breakthrough in the ongoing efforts by the military to end the persistent attacks that have seen many lives and property lost in the area.
GOPRI, said it was not surprised at the latest achievements of the security agencies given the relentless efforts being put by Operation Safe Haven in keeping not just Southern Kaduna but also the Plateau and OPSH's Area of Responsibility, safe.
Ejeh thanked President Muhammad Buhari and the military authorities in establishing OPSH to oversee Southern Kaduna, Plateau, and environs, saying it had to a large extent lived up to its responsibility.
He particularly thanked the OPSH Commander, Major General Chukwuemeka Okonkwo for what it called "his relentless efforts and genuine commitment" to seeing to the end of the crises that have seen many lives and property lost.
READ ALSO: 2020 Budget: GOPRI writes NASS, seeks an increase on allocation to Nigerian Army
According to Ejeh, the military outfit responsible for security in Plateau, parts of Bauchi state, and Southern Kaduna should be supported and encouraged.
The group which noted that security agencies alone can't end the onerous task of restoring total sanity to Southern Kaduna, however, called on community leaders and residents alike to
support the military in terms of intelligence gathering and reports of suspicious movements as well as suspected criminals to the military.
" We are therefore appealing to communities to be given timely and accurate information to the security agencies to enable them to be proactive since they can't be everywhere.
"We must learn to see the security agencies like our own instead of sitting on the fence and waiting for an attack to happen before we start blaming the security agencies, ….we must also be bold enough to expose criminal elements in our midst" Ejeh added.

So, the other day, on my way out the door for work, my honey kissed me goodbye. After doing so, he commented on how soft my neck felt and how I smelled so deelish. When he asked what I had on, I told him "LaLicious Baby"...
Ok, back to reality. That really didn't happen, but it totally would have if, uhhhh, I had a man and he was home after I used this fab scrub!
Moving on, the lovelies over at LaLicious sent over two of there Sugar Souffle Scrubs for me to try. The name alone got me excited! What's so special about these scrubs is that they contain sweet almond oil, which is great for moisturizing, conditioning and smoothing skin. The scrubs are available in nine scents including:
- Brown Sugar & Vanilla
- Coconut Cream
- Lily Mango
- Passionfruit Lime
- Island Guava
- Tahitian Flower
- Peppermint
- Coffee Bean
- Sugar Kiss
I got to try the Tahitian Flower and Lily Mango. The scrub felt nice on the skin and wasn't harsh and abrasive like some. It rinsed off easily and my skin felt smooth, not oily and slimy. The scent itself lingered on well after my shower, nothing overpowering, just a light faint smell. I'd love to get my hands on that Island Guava.
LaLicious products are available at LaLicious.com, and at select retailers and spas.

What to listen to over the holidays: 12 Days of Christmas Records
"On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me [a record player]."
Dec 13, 2018
I have a sizable collection of Christmas polka records sourced chiefly from the bargain bins of local vintage shops, which sounds disgustingly pretentious, but hey, it's Christmas. Leave your judgement at the end of November, you can pick it back up next year.
All kidding aside, the reason why I collect Christmas records is because of its unique character. "The Christmas Album" is its own weird beast, with artists using it to make stock of their own vision of festive cheer. Sometimes it's great, sometimes it's a completely free gift to fans, and sometimes it's a lazy cash-grab on the season. I won't be subjecting anyone to holiday Czech dance music, so instead here are some albums that you can pop on your record player to celebrate the season (or in lieu of that, you could play most of these on Spotify).
1. The Beach Boys' The Beach Boys' Christmas Album
The Beach Boys is the swinging '60s surf rock band that became the progenitor of the entire surf pop and rock subgenres. They're known for their rich, almost-orchestral harmonies (just listen to "God Only Knows"), which should've lent its way to making a coolly traditional Christmas album. However, the band couldn't ever get away from the sun-soaked Californian scapes for the life of them, even musically, resulting in this markedly sunny take on the season. (Their "Frosty the Snowman" is pretty thawed out.) Our Christmases are hotter than most, so it's a welcome departure from the usual wintery covers.
2. Apo Hiking Society's PaskonAPO
There's no questioning the staying power of Apo Hiking Society. Fifty years since their first big performance, we're still playing their albums. I think it's because there's an inherent pleasantness to their songs, a cheery disposition that shines through even the most political ("Blue Jeans") or saddest ("Now That It's Over and Done") of their songs. It definitely shines through their 1991 Christmas album, best encapsulated by the penultimate song, "Tuloy Na Tuloy Pa Rin Ang Pasko." It's a bright, cheery, and hopeful song about celebrating Christmas in bad times—so bad New Year's might have to be delayed! Instead of hamon, they'll be having bagoong!—because love needs to reign, because it's enough to have Jesus with you (or any secular alternative), because no matter what, "tuloy na tuloy pa rin ang pasko."
3. Ella Fitzgerald's Ella Wishes You a Swinging Christmas
The First Lady of Song recorded a holiday album, enough said.
Well, okay, since it is my job to write, Ella Fitzgerald is one of the best jazz singers to live, period. When people talk about who the best female jazz vocalists are, the singers who are pit against each other are always Ella, Billie Holiday, and Etta James, and with good reason. Ella Fitzgerald's voice is silken, but she knew how to employ a mean vibrato. When she did scat, she outperformed the best horn players.
This makes Ella Wishes You a Swinging Christmas a joy to listen through. Pay particular notice to her rendition of "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve," a song where the persona wonders if her loved one will kiss her when New Year strikes, alluding to the Western superstition that if you won't be kissed, you'll have a year of loneliness. Other covers of this turn it into a deeply affecting torch song, but with Lady Ella it's a playful, come-hither sort of tune.
4. Sufjan Stevens' Songs for Christmas
Sufjan Stevens is almost a mythical figure in the indie circuit. Known for his breathy folk music, Stevens has always embedded his songs with a sense of mysticism. His lyrics read like long-forgotten epics coming to light for the first time, a feeling aided by how textured he makes his music (on one song, he can play up to 11 instruments). This five-volume box set (and its sequel, Silver & Gold: Songs for Christmas, Vols. 6-10) is no different. From the comical ("Come on! Let's Boogey to the Elf Dance!") to the traumatic ("That Was The Worst Christmas Ever!"), Stevens weaves complex tales about the season. I've been listening to Suf' for years, ever since I heard his tearjerker "Casimir Pulaski Day," and this is something I come back to a lot during the holidays.
5. Frank Sinatra's A Jolly Christmas From Frank Sinatra
If you haven't caught on yet, there's something deeply sad and sentimental at the core of most classic Christmas songs. It's as if melancholy is rooted in the season, and it's most apparent with songs like "White Christmas," in which the persona longs for Christmases gone by, and "I'll Be Home For Christmas," the tragedy of which is encapsulated in its parenthetical subtitle: "(If Only In My Dreams)." Frank Sinatra's crooning captures this better than Bing Crosby's originals ever did, bless him.
6. Ariel Rivera's Paskong Walang Katulad
Choosing this purely because of "Sana Ngayong Pasko." One of my qualms with this song is that with its many overwrought covers, its initial poignance has been wrung out (note to future cover artists: over-singing diminishes a song's power and subtlety is god. Let a song sit). Still, I can't deny the emotions of this original.
Runner up to this was VST and Co's Boogie Woogie Christmas Day, by the way. It's ostensibly the better album, but I can't recommend it in good faith. Rape and corruption just aren't things I can get past, especially during the holidays.
7. David Sedaris' Holidays on Ice
One of the best things about making a list on Christmas records is that I'm not limited to music albums. Holidays on Ice is a spoken word recording of David Sedaris' 1997 holiday collection of the same name. It's made up of a bunch of essays that the humorist wrote about Christmas, including the wildly entertaining polemic "SantaLand Diaries," which follows his brief stint as a Santa Elf. His sister, comedian Amy Sedaris, also shows up to read some of the essays.
8. A LaFace Family Christmas
'90s in the best way, A LaFace Family Christmas is a compilation album featuring different artists from the now defunct-LaFace Records. This includes '90s heavyweights TLC, OutKast, and Toni Braxton. Pop this record on if only to hear TLC's version of the '50s classic "Sleigh Ride," which completely reworked the light orchestral into a chilled out R&B ditty with new lyrics and an entirely different hook. This underrated Christmas cover is honestly pretty genius, and remains one of the girl group's best works.
9. Timbre Cierpke's Silent Night
There's something incredibly healing about the harp, so much so that harp therapy is a real thing. When Abraham Alcala played for us during our visit to his home, the soothing sounds plucking away everyone's tensions, and someone on the team almost cried. The harp has a magical sweetness to it that other stringed instruments don't have.
This makes Timbre Cierke's Silent Night all the more sweeter. It's an incredibly tender album, even for a Christmas one, and the harpist's gentle plucking and heartful singing will tug away at your heart strings. If that doesn't get to you quite yet, she's also employed the help of other instrumentalists and a full-fledged orchestra.
10. Low's Christmas
Low's Christmas is a pretty short album, tapping out at 29 minutes with just 8 songs, since it was meant to be a humble little release for fans. Still, the lofi acoustic album managed to become a well-loved indie classic (Tracey Thorn of Everything But The Girl covered "Taking Down The Tree" in her own Christmas album). It's a soft and somber take on the season, and "Taking Down The Tree" perfectly encapsulates that eerie sort of melancholy that sets once Christmas ends and it's time to pack up the decor.
11. Mariah Carey's Merry Christmas
Decades from now, Mariah Carey will still be performing as a Christmas Queen, all by the virtue of this album's hit single. "All I Want For Christmas Is You" is the best modern Christmas song, full stop. In the 20 years since the song was first recorded, no other artist has made an original Christmas song that has the same staying power or even plain listenability—Britney Spears' "My Only Wish (This Year)" comes close, but it doesn't quite make it. Just the sheer force of which Mariah Carey sings it is hard to beat (she goes from G3 to the high note of A6 throughout the course of the song). Mariah broke all the rules of the Christmas jingle when she recorded this, and for that I'm thankful.
12. Nat King Cole's The Magic of Christmas (1963 reissue)
When this album was first recorded in 1960, someone made the supremely unwise decision to leave out "The Christmas Song," which Nat King Cole first sang in 1945. Thankfully, this was rectified in the 1963 reissue, and from then on the album was renamed to The Christmas Song. The recording of "The Christmas Song" made for the reissue remains the definitive version of the song.
Why does this song resonate with me? Christmas is inherently a season of clichés. The Santa hats, the Yuletide carols, the retelling of stories to children too young to understand that they're just myths. We follow these traditions every year, but why? Because it doesn't matter if it's sentimental or cliché, we do it for each other. The real magic of the season is that entire communities, even secular, have given it meaning, real enough that it once managed to briefly put a war on pause. And so, as Cole intones: "Although it's been said many times/ Many ways, Merry Christmas to you."
Merry Christmas, folks.
