Located in one of the business districts of Melbourne close to city centre , located not far about 5 minutes walk to Sky bus which goes to Melbourne airport (RTN 32AUS). There is also Southern Cross train station, Cole supermarkets, Hungry jacks and Subway outlets all very close to hotel. To drive from MEL airport it takes around 35 minutes.
The room was simple ,white wall decor, slightly grubby on edges but still fairly spacious. Just had no character to the ambience. But offered functionality.
The bed was comfortable of medium firmness offering adequate pillows. Either side are two glass top bed side tables, one with a phone and the other an alarm clock. Light switches that are spot lights above are offered each side.
This is a small sofa seat on one side and a wardrobe on the other- this includes a Ironing board plus plenty of coat hangers. A large luggage rack exists as well.
Facing bed is a large TV that offered 28 DTV channels some local some American TV series. There is also a DVD player offered underneath. Next to this is a working desk also with a phone and a few AUS plug sockets. No desk light but overhead lights.
In the corridor is a small mirror area with plugs – below is a empty mini bar- just sachets of milk to accompany the tea and coffee with kettle on one of the side shelves. There is also an iron there.
The bathroom was of adequate size but offering very basic amenities – only x2 soaps, shampoo and conditioner. Would be nice if they offered shower gel instead. Good selection of towels though.
Overall for the price the room was functional and good it just felt a bit clinical and dull. Such as no lamps etc. They could also offer better functional amenities.
WIFI is free but only for 3 items up to 1000mb only – otherwise there are chargeable options. Not sure if hotel offers any business facilities.
However leisure included a decent size indoor pool, dry sauna and decent sized gym – did not use any but appeared clean.
Catering did not try but menu is presented in room. The last order is at 915ppm and breakfast at 1030am. They charge 3 AUS for any room service. food is all Italian pasta and appetisers, but breakfast does offer a good selection of dishes such as Egg Benedict- prices range from 8-30AUS.
Parking is available at the hotel inside same building with in/out privileges at 15 AUS a day.
Staff explained very little detail at check-in, simply asked for passport but could of explained WIFI or offer some degree of enthusiasm with service. No facilities were mentioned and service couldn't have been more robotic and lacking in detail.
Overall this was reasonably priced hotel with a pool and parking. However it has got a poor vibe and room is simply so dull than even Ibis appears more exciting. I would likely try somewhere else in Melbourne.

Dull room but good location for CBD, Parking, pool and Sauna offered but staff lack enthusiasm and details.

Jaguar unveils AI-based self-driving steering wheel
Luxury carmaker Jaguar Land Rover has unveiled its new artificial-intelligence (AI)-based steering wheel that can be featured in the company's self-driving cars in the future. The AI-based steering wheel dubbed Sayer would not be used to steer the car; rather it would serve as a system capable of hooking up with the autonomous/self-driving car a person is travelling in.
Unlike other self driving concepts that are removing the steering wheel as well as pedals, Jaguar decided to retain the steering wheel, albeit as a portable device that can be carried from one vehicle to another.
In a press release, the company said, "Sayer is the first voice-activated artificial intelligence (AI) steering wheel that will be able to carry out hundreds of tasks. Sayer could signal your membership of our on-demand service club … even advise which parts of the journey you might enjoy."
The AI-based steering wheel, which will serve as a concierge as well as a warning system, will be featured in the company's upcoming concept car, dubbed the Future-Type.

Every day, I have the privilege of working with refugees. After years of applying; waiting; hoping; they arrive to the U.S., full of hope and yet hiding a history of heartbreak behind their wide smiles. Often, I can only guess at the traumas they've endured and the things they've escaped. One thing I do know: the word refugee is synonymous with survivor. All of them have left behind loved ones, the ones that weren't so lucky or weren't so strong.
Sometimes, I get the honor of actually hearing a refugee's story from start to finish; it never fails to leave me in awe. I got such an opportunity recently. The U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, an organization that helps refugees resettle, had their annual conference recently. One of the refugees I work with was honored to be selected to share his life story in front of hundreds of people.
Sanga* and I had already become friends after he attended my Cultural Orientation classes, where I taught him and other Congolese refugees practical lessons such as how to get a driver's license and how to apply for a job. These days, Sanga has a full schedule working full-time in manufacturing and taking steps toward applying for college. While I helped Sanga edit his story for grammar, all of these words are his own.
As he shared his story with me, I often had to blink back tears or hide my shock as he spoke about his life journey, from deep in the forests of the Congo to the heart of Houston...
I am 36 years old and I was born in a small city in the North Eastern part of the Congo.
I ran away from my country in 2005 after the death of my father, who was a district commissioner. My father was working to unite warring tribes; he wanted peace in our district. Because of this, some of the men from his own tribe killed him with a machete.
They were afraid of his betrayal, and so they killed their own brother. Then, they tried to kill my family, and so we had to flee. My family was separated; I fled alone to Kenya. On the way, I had to stay in hiding, because the rebel groups were everywhere - I hid on a train for four days. I was 30 years old, and I had never felt so sad because I wasn't sure what I would do.
When I arrived in Kenya, I slept on the streets for 2 days because I didn't know what to do. After that, I went to a church. They helped me apply to be a refugee. During this time, a pastor took care of me and gave me a place to live. But, I was always afraid in Kenya because I didn't have any legal rights and I was always afraid that the same people who killed my father would come to kill me. Once in Kenya I was attacked; I thank God I am still alive. After some time in Kenya, I began to teach French at a language school. I first applied for refugee status in 2005.
After waiting 7 years, in 2012, I finally received a letter that the United States had accepted me as a refugee to live in their country. I felt great when I got this letter. I knew there were so many people applying to live in the United States, so I was not sure if it would ever happen. I had been hoping for this for so long that I could not believe it.
When I first arrived in the United States, some things surprised me. For example, I was surprised by how people take care of other people here. I find the American people very caring.
I want to contribute to the American community. I want to help people, especially new refugees. In the Congo and Kenya, I was a medical first aid worker because I like helping people. I would like to do something similar in the United States one day to help the community. I know the feeling of what it is like to flee, the feeling of going through a war, and I feel that experience will help me support new refugees.
In Africa, there was no peace, so I could not learn or finish my studies. I feel like America is my land now. I am happy because I have found peace where I am. The people I have found here represent my family. If I have a problem, I can go to my new friends and talk to them and find a solution.
In my opinion, one of the greatest struggles for the African people is a lack of peace. This will be the most important thing for them – to learn to have peace. Peace allows refugees to work, study, and dream for their future. Without peace in Africa, there can be no hope and no progress. That is why I left. In my case, a lack of peace means I do not even know which of my brothers are still alive.
Even though I have had many difficult times, I am proud to be a called a refugee -- even Jesus Christ was a refugee. When he was born, some people wanted to kill him. His family had to flee, so even Jesus was a refugee like me. He had to leave his land because he was in danger of something happening to him. He was living in a state of fear, like me. I know what it is like to live in this state of fear. Now that I am living in the US, I am comfortable and I do not have fear.
I will always be proud to be called a refugee."
Sanga got to fly to Washington, D.C., to share his story. When I asked if he was nervous, he told me, "Of course I am nervous. But I must do this, because not everyone can speak the stories we know as refugees. Someone must tell the stories for those that did not survive."
His favorite part of the trip was getting to see the White House in person after his speech.
May you be encouraged by Sanga's story, ever more aware of the blessings you have, and be reminded that within all of us, God has given us the spirit of a survivor.
*Sanga's name has been changed to protect his identity.

Square Enix and Platinum Games' NieR: Automata hasn't even been released in the west yet, and it's already being patched due to player complaints about a trash item in the game. The trash in question is named "NIN-64" and it's description reads "trash that was fished up." Seems like a lazy but obvious dig at Nintendo right?
Most players indeed seem to have taken it as Nintendo N64 console, which is a console many look back at with fond memories – myself included. Some believe the reference is in fact a nod to a 1950s aircraft system, specifically the MIM-46 Mauler. Others are not convinced, however. And I find the MIM-46 theory to a be a bit suspect. The item description may be generic, but it's unlikely the be a reference to the aircraft system. Honestly no part of it other than the letter and number switching even seems like its hinting at anything to do with an aircraft. Granted, other than the letters it doesn't appear to have much to do with Nintendo either.
Producer Yosuke Saito addressed the fix on twitter, saying the patch will include normal bug fixes as well as "change the name of an item you've all pointed out."
NieR: Automata is slated to release on March 7th in the US, and March 10th in Europe. A PC version is set to release sometime later this year. An Xbox One version does not seem to be in the cards right now.
For those of us still waiting to get our hands on NieR, the E3 Boss Battle footage is below:

The binding of programmed death 1 (PD-1) to its ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2 on antigen-presenting cells turns off autoreactive T cells and induces peripheral tolerance. Aberrant PD-1/PD-L signalling could result in a breakdown of peripheral tolerance and lead to autoimmune diseases. In this study, we detected PD-1 and PD-L expression on T cells and dendritic cells (DCs) in immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) patients with active disease by flow cytometry. The effects of PD-L1-Fc fusion protein (PD-L1-Fc) on T cells and on secretion of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) were detected by flow cytometry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. Compared with healthy controls, PD-1 expression was significantly increased in CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells from patients with active ITP. However, PD-L1 expression on monocyte-derived DCs was lower in patients with active ITP than in healthy controls. In vitro assays revealed that PD-L1-Fc increased T cell apoptosis, inhibited activation and proliferation of CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells and decreased IFN-γ and IL-2 secretion in patients with active ITP. These results suggest that the aberrant PD-1/PD-L negative co-stimulatory pathway may play a role in ITP. Enhancing PD-1/PD-L signalling might be a promising therapeutic approach for ITP patients by enhancing T cell apoptosis, inhibiting T cell activation and proliferation and reducing secretion of inflammatory factors.

RAG: Helping Hands
This monthly initiative is also a great way to do some direct charity work. Here, the Edinburgh RAG team sells gloves for a small profit to students outside the Main University of Edinburgh Library in George Square. Students have the choice to either
keep the gloves or to donate them. Along with the profits made, all donated gloves will be given to the homeless charity Streetwork. This is a great way to volunteer and directly impact the community. Shifts are at least an hour long.

Here are some ways that you can take part in the life of church.
Small Groups at Fredericktown UMC
We have several ways that you can get involved in a small group at Fredericktown UMC. The first way is to join us on Sunday mornings. We have small groups for all ages between our two worship services at 10 AM. The second way is to join one of our other small groups that meet throughout the week. The available small groups are:
Sunday Nights at 6:00 pm starting September 22 - Youth Small Group Room
Confirm Your Faith. Your Commitment. God's Call. Too often confirmation has been downgraded to the role of a checkpoint along the faith journey. The Confirm confirmation group reclaims confirmation as the first step on a journey that leads to a mature faith. Confirm treats confirmation as more than a decision. Instead, it is the beginning of a conversation about what it means to be a Christian, living out your faith, your commitment, and God's call. If you have a young person from 5th grade and up that hasn't been through confirmation and is interested, please contact us and let us know!
God's love in motion - a reconciling community
The first monday of the month at 7:00 PM - Fellowship Hall
This small group is our Reconciling Community within Fredericktown United Methodist Church. A reconciling community is one that has approved a statement that specifically names a welcome of people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. Churches, Sunday School classes, campus ministries, and annual conference groups strengthen the Reconciling Ministries Network through their witness for a fully inclusive church. This community will be working for ways that we can be welcoming and inclusive to all. All are welcome at this small group, no matter if you are a member of Fredericktown UMC or not. It will take place the first Monday of the month, unless there is a holiday on the day or close by. If that is the case, it will be moved to another Monday. Please refer to our calendar for the latest dates.
first wednesdays
first wednesday of the month at 6:00 pm - Fellowship Hall
Every month, on the first Wednesday of the month, we will get together for a special event in our fellowship hall. Sometimes it might be a mini-worship experience, sometimes it might be pizza and a movie, and other times it might be something completely different! Join us in fellowship as we take part in our First Wednesday experiences! All are welcome at this small group, no matter if you are a member of Fredericktown UMC or not.
Food & Faith
Last Wednesday of the Month at 6:30 PM - The Depot Restaurant in Fredericktown
This is a group that will be meeting at The Depot Restaurant here in town. We will have food and drink together while talking over a different discussion topic every meeting. The topics will typically be more contemporary and relevant. Each person will be responsible for their own meal. This group will last about an hour and a half, depending on the food and conversation that week. All are welcome at this small group, no matter if you are a member of Fredericktown UMC or not. However, please let us know if you are interested by contacting Pastor Bryan at firstname.lastname@example.com so that we can be sure to save you a seat. On months when there is a holiday or other important event on the last Thursday of the month, it will be moved to the previous Thursday. Please see our calendar for exact days and times.
We hope that you will join us at one of our small groups for fun and fellowship as we grow together!
Come Together - Catch Fire - Go Out
Our Come Together, Catch Fire, Go Out Team (CCG Team) meets monthly in our fellowship hall. This is a new team that is helping us to plan all of our mission, outreach, and witness events as well as organizing fellowship opportunities for the people of the church. If you have ideas about how we can serve our community or ways that we can build the fellowship of Fredericktown UMC, please join us! Meeting dates will be announced in worship.
One Church council
Our One Church Council also meets monthly in our fellowship hall. This team of people helps to plan, support, and facilitate the life of Fredericktown UMC. If you would like to help plan the life of the church, please join us! Meeting Dates will be announced in worship.

The Jews of Jamaica: tombstone inscriptions, 1663-1880
Centuries of Jewish Life are revealed in the terse inscriptions recorded in this book, most engraved by local non-Jewish masons. The brief data they present give the story of Jewish settlement in this Caribbean Island at the gateway to the New World. It is the story of brave entrepreneurs who sought to build a fresh life for themselves and their people and to create a bridge between the Old World and the New. The stones are sometimes the only historical source recording the existence of the individuals and their achievements. For this reason these inscriptions are important as a unique historical source for Jewish History.

Western Cape Premier Helen Zille says departments in the province will "proactively examine contractual relationships with Bosasa".
She said this was in line with ensuring that the Western Cape government remained proactive in anti-corruption activities.
Her instruction comes hot on the heels of former Bosasa COO Angelo Agrizzi's explosive testimony before the State capture commission of inquiry. He testified for the seventh day on Thursday.
The commission, headed by Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo, heard this week how Bosasa officials bribed senior government officials for tenders and contracts.
Zille said that existing and past contracts with Bosasa in the province should be examined.
"We are proactively examining contractual relationships with Bosasa. We are a clean government with tight controls and robust anti-corruption measures," said Zille.
She also urged national government to do the same.
"We are taking this proactive step to instill public confidence in our commitment to transparency and accountability. I believe the national government especially should be undertaking the same process."
Agrizzi's testimony before the commission will continue on Monday.
Zille said more details around the Western Cape's probe into Bosasa contracts in the province would be announced in due course.
"I believe this to be a necessary pro-active step in ensuring that any business conducted with Bosasa and/or its affiliated companies adhered to all stringent control measures," she added.

Mountain Wildflower Afghan Square
by Andee Graves
This pattern is available for free.
Another in my birthday series of Afghan squares, this time we are getting a bit floral with lots of visual texture. This is an entertaining block with 9 color changes.
I used only 4 colors, but you can use 2-9 if you want. The yardage requirements for each of my 4 colors and the yardage for each color change are detailed in the pattern.
Gauge numbers are the final stitch count at the end of Round 4. You should have a 4 inch square at that point.

Banquette Breakfast Nook is Charming, Coastal
The walls of this coastal breakfast nook are painted a fresh white, Benjamin Moore's Swiss Coffee, highlighting the gray of the charming banquette bench. A natural oak stained table and dining chairs are paired with a white airy drum light for a modern touch. Designer Becki Owens ties the look together with the pink block print fabric of the window treatments and pink and neutral throw pillows.

GEORGETOWN, Texas (KXAN) — On Apache Mountain Lane in Georgetown, Jean Ann Rieder worries about her family's safety.
"We're afraid to go out to the mailbox and step into the street to open the mailbox," explains Rieder. "We can't let our grandchildren play out here, we can't even let them be on the driveways because of all the traffic."
The intersection of West Majestic Oak Lane and Apache Mountain Lane is the culprit — it's a shortcut in and out of Sun City, Georgetown's retirement community.
The city temporarily closed the intersection starting in 2015 for a few months. They then did a traffic study, but the number of cars passing through didn't meet the criteria to permanently shut down the intersection. There had to be more than 1,000 cars per day for the change, but the study showed fewer.
Just before the traffic study started, Sun City resident Marshall Friedman sent an email to his neighbors and two city council members, in part writing, "we should try to temporarily avoid and restrict using Majestic Oak in order to minimize the traffic volume attributed to Sun City residents." Friedman tells KXAN he was not trying to skew the numbers of the traffic study.
"The intent of the city was to have people use alternate routes, I supported that, I tried to encourage that with my emails," explains Friedman.
Still, Friedman says without using West Majestic Oak Lane as a shortcut, he has to drive 5 miles to get to the main Sun City entrance. "We all contribute to the road, that is our road collectively and it is intended to be shared," said Friedman.
Because of the discrepancy, City Council Member Rachael Jonrowe put the item back on the city council's agenda for Tuesday night. She is recommending the city close the intersection because she says it's not safe. She also points out that after the city re-opened the intersection to traffic in 2016, crews were supposed to wait 60 to 90 days to do a traffic study. Jonrowe says the city did three of the traffic counts immediately after the road opened, which didn't give cars time to return to their normal traffic patterns.

Hello, and welcome to Mundane Faithfulness. We've had a surge of new followers lately, and I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and share a little about this sacred place. My name is Blythe, and I have been the steward of Mundane Faithfulness since Kara Tippetts went to be with Jesus in March of 2015.
Kara started this blog as a simple mommy blog, but after her breast cancer diagnosis in 2012, it became a place where she processed her journey and worked out her faith. It became a place where folks came to find a kindred spirit and a soul who fought to find God's grace in every mundane wrinkle of life. It became a place where Kara shared the joys of walking with Jesus—even walking cancer with Jesus. And it eventually became a place where Kara processed her dying with her readers—her "friends she hadn't met yet." She came here to share updates but to also share her life and her faith. Mundane Faithfulness wasn't a typical mommy blog, and Kara was certainly not a typical mommy.

A day after the makers released the teaser of Ragini MMS Returns, a sex scene from the web series has been leaked online. The 1.5-minute video is a steamy sex scene starring Riya Sen and Nishant Malkani.bollywood Updated: Sep 13, 2017 17:43 IST
A day after the makers released the teaser of Ragini MMS Returns starring Karishma Sharma, a sex scene from the web series has been leaked online. The 1.5-minute video shows Riya Sen and Nishant Malkani in a steamy sex scene.
Produced by Ekta Kapoor, Ragini MMS Returns will soon be aired on Alt Balaji app and YouTube channel. Karishma Sharma and Siddharth Gupta play lead roles while Riya Sen also has a special role in the web series.
Reports earlier suggested that Riya was not comfortable shooting the steamy scenes for Ragini MMS Returns and requested director Suyash Vadhavkar to tone them down the intimate scene. "Riya, who essays the pivotal role of Simran in the show knew that the series would involve intimate scenes featuring her and co-star Nishant Malkani. They were meant to be explicit, but Riya was uncomfortable while filming them," Mid-Day quoted a source as saying.
The trailer of the web series is scheduled to be released on Thursday.
Karishma Sharma, who plays the lead role in the web series, has essayed a negative character in Yeh Hai Mohabbatein. She also played important roles in Pavitra Rishta and the film Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2.
Ragini MMS featured Rajkummar Rao and Kainaz and released in 2011, while the second instalment (2014) had Sunny Leone and Pravin Dabas in lead roles.

Piano lessons should offer more than just practising scales and playing from existing scores; it should be a magical carpet ride that unlocks a world of possibilities!
During his nearly two decades of teaching, Philip de Villiers has encouraged both young and old to experiment, connect and reconnect with the myriad of possibilities that the piano presents. While Philip's approach is relaxed, he pays close attention to detail.
"20 % of kids learn to play music. 70 % of adults wish they had." – Australian Bureau of Statistics
Philip will teach you in the comfort of your own home, or you can choose between his city studio in Waterloo, or at his North Shore studio in Gordon where you can embark on a musical adventure through:
"Philip is a knowledgeable, passionate and engaging teacher and it's been a pleasure to study with him. " – Jason Goh, Waverton
Purchase bundles of 4 or 6 lessons (taught once a week) at the following discounted rates:
30 mins: $180 for 4 ($45/lesson) or $240 for 6 ($40/lesson)
45 mins: $280 for 4 ($70/lesson) or $390 for 6 ($65/lesson)
60 mins: $320 for 4 ($80/lesson) or $450 for 6 ($75/lesson)
Philip also teaches singing at the same rates. Herewith his teachers biography:
PHILIP DE VILLIERS (B.A. Honours Live Performance, AFDA)
During his nearly 20 years of teaching Philip has taught hundreds of students privately and lectured at the most sought-after academic institutions in South Africa. Having obtained his Honours Degree in Live Performance from AFDA, South Africa's most renowned film and live performance school, he relocated to Australia in 2014. In 2015 he taught piano and coached the vocal ensemble at Marist College in Pagewood and also served as an external examiner at AIM (The Australian Institute of Music) for their final year Composition program. In the same year he featured as a singer-pianist in Baz & Bond, a production that celebrated the songs from Baz Luhrman and James Bond movies.
Since 2007, Philip has worked closely with Universal Music to develop artists who have become successful on the global circuit. His songwriting has garnered him two awards, and his recorded work has been in circulation on radio and television since 2006. (Listen to his soulful voice and emotive songs at https://soundcloud.com/philip-de-villiers-1).
In 2009, Philip co-wrote a song that was featured in the motion picture, Mary & Martha starring Hillary Swank, and produced a feature song in 2013 for the international blockbuster Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom.

The food was fantastic. Chocolate naan bread and creamy mango ice cream...to die for. Service excellent and friendly. As a local i can't believe I haven't been before. Will surely go again.
The service was very friendly & the food delicious. The chef came out & spoke to us & asked for feedback regarding both service & meal which doesn't happen often.
Food was amazing! It was a very chill cosy ambience, friendly staff. We had all our favourite dishes, palak paneer, butter chicken and the best kashmiri naan.
Staff were very attentive and friendly. Food was very good and reasonably priced. Drink prices were reasonable and there was also the option of BYO.
Great food and service, although room temperature cool requiring layers.

"Along their separate journeys, Greenwell and Conley crossed paths in the Balkans, and the two writers stayed in touch. The Gay Invasion was not intended as a pride parade through bookstores by promising new gay writers whose works have been praised for their lush, poetic prose, as well as their compassionate portrayals of the complexities that accompany the ongoing task of reconciling one's queer identity within a conservative climate. The tour was, in fact, an extension of their bonded mission of LGBT youth activism. Having both taught in high schools, Greenwell and Conley said they continually encountered the same kind of shaming among their students that they had experienced in their own childhoods."

"Garrard Conley's 'Boy Erased' opens in a way that reminds me, eerily, of Margaret Atwood's 'The Handmaid's Tale.'"

New York Times Book Review →
BOY ERASED is in the Sunday Times: "Many readers of "Boy Erased" will be as enraged as Conley. But they will also see the story through the lens of his compassion for those who genuinely thought they were trying to help, particularly his mother, who's finally the one to say, "We're stopping all of this now," when Conley reaches the breaking point. And if nothing else, these books show how many different paths there are to helping. They're all flawed in their own ways, but as Gaines writes of his imperfect family, "We were just another frayed thread in an infinite tapestry." The key — for memoirists and for anyone, really — is knowing just how hard to pull."

I loved speaking with Todd Summar for Lambda Literary. Our conversation lasted roughly 2 hours, and I never wanted it to end. Todd is thoughtful and sharp, and his words are so generous here:
"Boy Erased is not an expose, not a self-help book or sentimentally sensational tell-all. Instead, it is a nuanced, sharply written work of art. Conley's prose is evocative and lush, allowing the reader to understand the confusion and frustration endured, not only by him, but also his mother and father whom, ultimately, regrettably, thought they were doing the right thing."
