Going batty! Charlotte Church opts for ANOTHER bizarre ensemble as she performs at South by Southwest festival
She unleashed an edgy avent-garde new look when she performed an intimate set live at South by Southwest Festival on Wednesday evening.
But it would appear Charlotte Church's somewhat unusual new-found sense of style is here to stay as she stepped out in yet another wacky ensemble on Thursday night.
Taking to the stage in Austin, Texas, for a second acoustic set, the Welsh songstress appeared to have opted for some form of bizarre, bat-inspired ensemble.
Wacky: Charlotte Church stepped out in yet another eccentric ensemble on Thursday night as she performed an intimate set at South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas
Sporting dramatic futuristic blue eye make-up, the 27-year-old singer ensured she certainly garnered attention in a black feather and lace-detail headpiece.
Pushing her brunette locks back from her face, the usual accessory featured wacky feathers jutting out at all angles.
The former child star swamped her curves in a somewhat unflattering black oversized tunic and kept her hair loose and unstyled around her shoulders.

Avant-garde: Sporting dramatic futuristic blue eye make-up, the 27-year-old singer ensured she certainly garnered attention in a black lace-detail headpiece, with feathers jutting out at all angles
In spite of her slightly unusual appearance, the Voice Of An Angel singer seemed to be her absolute element as she threw herself into the music and bashed away on a tambourine.
Ahead of the gig, she wrote on her Twitter page: 'Gig 1 @sxsw was a lot of fun... Looking forward to playing Rooftop on 6th later today at 8pm.'
It wasn't long ago that Charlotte was one of Britain's best known party girls, hitting the town in eye-watering miniskirts and towering high heels.
Is that you, Charlotte? The former child star swamped her curves in a somewhat unflattering black oversized tunic and kept her hair loose and unstyled around her shoulders
But the singer's transformation from child star to avant-garde singer songwriter seemed complete on Wednesday night as she showcased a ethnic-inspired, surreal outfit.
The 27-year-old, who has crossed a number of musical genres, wore a series of coloured transfers on her face as she took to the stage for her debut gig at the annual festival.
The mother-of-two, who has admitted that she doesn't have much time for partying these days, looked a far cry from her old image in a full-length black skirt and red and gold ethnic embellished jacket.
In her element: In spite of her slightly unusual appearance, the Voice Of An Angel singer seemed to be her absolute element as she threw herself into the music and bashed away on a tambourine
She wore her brown hair scraped back into a messy ponytail, with loose wisps falling around her face and wore a touch of dark eye make-up and shimmery brown lipstick.
But in a bizarre twist to her look, she wore a series of coloured transfers on her face, adding to the ethic and bohemian style that she's been trying to cultivate.
The star drowned her frame in the bulky, ruffled layer skirt, matched with the ethic jacket which had huge shoulders, jutting out away from her body.
But even though the singer may have looked a little out of the ordinary, it seems that her acoustic set went down well with festival-goers.
Image transformation: Charlotte Church wore coloured face transfers and an ethic outfit for her performance at SXSW Music Festival in Texas on Wednesday
Powerful performance: Despite Charlotte's change of musical style, her set was raised afterwards on Twitter
Eclectic dress sense: The former child star looked a long way from her 'voice of an angel' days in her interesting ensemble
Concentrating on her music: Charlotte is in the process of releasing a number of EPs over a period of a few months
'SXSW was fab today! Got in the British Embassy early so I could get to the front and see @charlottechurch #veryproud,' wrote one fan on Twitter.
'Charlotte Church was surprisingly good. Bonkers, but good #SXSW,' wrote another.
Having just released her new EP, TWO, Charlotte is doing the rounds on the festival circuit to promote her new folk-style sound.
The singer is not signed to a major record label and is in the process of releasing a series of five EPs over a the period of a few months, promoting them as she goes.
Broadening her horizons: The star performed with a number of different instruments during the set, in front of the intimate crowd
Bohemian girl: Charlotte wore a similarly ethic-inspired outfit when she performed her new music back in December
And the Welsh singer, who shot to fame as a child opera star, recently credited her musician boyfriend Jonny Powell with inspiring her return to music.
She told The Observer: 'After [previous album] Back to Scratch, I was like, "I'm not doing this any more." I'd had enough. I was going to stay at home, be a full-time mummy, organise parties, learn to bake properly...
'He was always just writing. I got the bug back a little bit. Also, he's got this phenomenal, encyclopaedic memory of music. He's a proper, smart guy... [It's] like starting [my career] all over again.'
Ever-changing image: Charlotte seems to be continually updating her look, and has worn a number of different styles over the years
New music style: Charlotte, pictured in April 2011, went from being a classical singer to being a pop star and is now a singer-songwriter

One of SpotLink's first challenges was to develop SA Group's high-level design into a detailed operational plan. SA Group had devised an impressive architectural plan, but most pieces were based on theoretical capabilities that did not match production requirements.
To test changes before they were put into operation, SpotLink built a lab replicating the SA Group e-commerce infrastructure. Before any changes were made to production, SpotLink would test them in the lab environment so the impact could be monitored and reviewed. If there was any unexpected behavior, the implementation documentation would be altered and the test would be run again until everything operated as planned.
SpotLink migrated and improved the monitoring of all the components using Cacti and Nagios, so that the critical people would be notified in the case any essential component went offline or outside of operational parameters, and based the web services load balancing on LVS, a component of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux HA package. Now, SA Group's infrastructure is based on a load balanced server farm of Red Hat Enterprise Linux servers running web services and a set of Red Hat servers running clustered Oracle servers. On the backend, a fiber channel EMC storage system provides the storage needs.
2. Expand Client's Business into New Market
The PCI DSS constraints required rethinking of the network structure. Even though the existing system had never been compromised in the history of SA Group's existence, PCI had a different way of approaching security and didn't allow some of the structures that were in place.
To fulfill the two-factor sign-in requirements of PCI, SpotLink implemented a RSA SecureID system that required rotating tokens for sign on. SpotLink also used auditing to check and log any privileged operations, employed OSSEC to monitor any unauthorized file changes or other OS level security violations, and applied a myriad of other smaller security changes to satisfy PCI DSS.
As scheduled, SA Group received their PCI DSS 2.0 certification in the summer of 2011.

This recipe is something I will make whenever I'm not feeling overly motivated, it's quick and easy and tastes great! I change the mixture up every now and then, add something here, omit something there - that's part of finding out what flavours work well together. Sometimes it works well other times you just learn from the experience.
Mini sweetcorn quiche (makes 24)
3 sheets frozen ready-rolled short crust pastry
1 tin corn kernels
6 eggs
3 spring (green) onions thinly sliced
salt and pepper
1/2 block Philadelphia cheese cut into 24 squares
6 cherry tomatoes sliced (to top each individual quiche)
Preheat oven to 180C.
Grease 2x 12 hole patty tins.
Cut 24x rounds of pastry and press into the pre-greased patty tins.
(If you don't have patty tins you can use muffin tins, they're a little bit deeper and pressing the pastry into the mould is a bit more difficult but it is possible).
Mix together the sweetcorn, eggs and spring onion and season.
Place a cube of Philadelphia cheese into each of the pastry cases the pour over sweetcorn mixture.
Top with a slice of cherry tomato.
Bake for 15 minutes or until pastry is cooked and topping is golden.
These can be served hot or cold.
You can use creamed corn as well which will give you a more subtle corn flavour.
You could omit the sweetcorn altogether and grate some zucchini into the egg mixture (seasoning is imperative).
And if you want to be super healthy, leave out the pastry and just make fritters (leave out the Philly cheese and tomatoes when you're cooking).
Just spoon tablespoonfuls of the mixture into a preheated fry pan and cook each side for a few minutes until golden brown.
Once they're cooked you can spread Philly cheese on top with some sliced tomatoes.

Amongst the entire trace element grouping, chromium may be the most popular and widely used dietary mineral supplement. This may be due, in large part, to its use in the nutritional supplementation of individuals involved in strenuous exercises. First discovered in the late 1950's, this mineral has seen tremendous exposure during the past two decades in both the medical and non-medical community. Chromium benefits not only those persons looking for performance enhancement in physical activities, but also in the core factors that dictate our overall health and well being.
Chromium is considered and essential mineral in the human body. However, some 90 percent of humans have lowered or deficient chromium levels. In order to achieve proper daily intake we must first recognize the different forms of this significant mineral. Chromium is an exacting trace mineral that exists in two distinct forms: the trivalent and the hexavalent form. Higher organisms, such as humans, utilize the trivalent form of chromium (primarily obtained from whole food sources). Chromium was once thought of as a toxic mineral in higher organisms. We now know that it provides for many important biochemical processes, paramount to our survival.
This fundamental mineral is a component of the compound, "glucose tolerance factor" (GTF) in humans. GTF is critical for the maintenance of proper serum levels of blood glucose, or insulin metabolism, and its many diverse actions. GTF plays integral roles in the metabolism of other nutrients as well. Fatty-acids and carbohydrates are metabolized by this compound. GTF is also necessary for the activation of enzymes that aid in the digestion of various food sources, and in cholesterol synthesis, which results from daily food consumption.
Chromium is found in the highest concentrations in those organs that provide for metabolic activity. These include the liver, kidney, spleen and even bone tissue(s). Many medical practitioners label chromium as an "ultra" trace mineral because it is found in such diminutive concentrations throughout the body. The amount of chromium stored in the body is in direct correlation to one's diet. It is estimated that Americans store approximately 6 milligrams of chromium in various metabolic tissues.
Chromium is made available in numerous commercial forms. Most of the chromium not included in the diet is obtained from multi-vitamin and mineral supplements. The most available forms of chromium are;
Chromium picolinate stands atop the list of all commercially available forms of chromium. It is, by far, the most popular, absorbable, and publicized form.

I've been skating a few small parks recently, and found that landing any decent air with any grace was my problem...
So I've been working on my landings, jumping as high as I can tucking in (from standing or rolling) and trying to consistently land smooth and balanced. Now I'm a bit more confident, I've started doing the same jumps, but with a 180. I can 360 whilst rolling, but not quite with the full tuck yet.
Since I've been doing this, I seem to stick my landings better and seem to travel slightly further in my jumps.
I would say 88 durometer is about right to start with. I'm on 78d and I'm pushing all the time to try and speed up. I did try skateboard wheels (95d), but too hard for me right now, I was sliding all over the place.

Getting to Grips with Lassa Fever in Nigeria
The vast majority of transmission is through rats, millions of which proliferate in parts of West Africa where clean water, toilets and sanitary sewage systems are lacking. These conditions must change if we are to stop annual outbreaks of this potentially fatal disease, writes Ifeanyi Nsofor for The Aspen New Voices Fellowship.

From a travelogue on Aruba from The Atlanta Journal-Constituion
California Lighthouse
(JIC you are interested, here's the article ... http://www.ajc.com/services/content/tra ... ba_NY.html )
From Aruba.com
The old stone California lighthouse stands as a silent sentry in the area known as "Hudishibana," near the island's northwestern tip. The lighthouse is named for the U.S ship - the California - which sunk about two years previous to its construction in 1910. The site offers spectacular sunsets as the final shades of sunshine give way to a brilliant azure canopy. Perched on a high seaside elevation, the lighthouse has become one of Aruba's scenic trademarks and offers a picture perfect view of the island's western coastline of sandy beaches, rolling sand dunes and rocky coral shorelines.
How did the California area get its name?
The original name of this area was Hudishibana. California was the name of a steamship shipwrecked of this wild coast in the middle of the night- September 23rd, 1891. The accident resulted in the death of one crew member- the ship's engineer.
Onboard there was a great deal of merchandise such as clothing, provisions & even furniture. All of these items were thrown overboard in an attempt to keep the ship afloat. As goods floated up to the shore it was picked up by locals & to be sold in the markets.
2 police officers from Curacao were called to Aruba to help stop the locals from stealing the goods as they floated ashore. Traveling to the northern edge of the island, they stopped & asked for directions. They were not aware that California was a ship, their orders were simply to help local police. The locals thought it amusing that the cops were looking for a "place" that no one had ever heard of. Thus the nickname & reason why this area has became known as California.

Dilemmas during the extensive run of medical routine maintenance in educative old fashioned paper
Dilemmas during the extensive run of medical routine maintenance in educative old fashioned paper
The treatment market place within the america on their own may be referred to as trillion-dollar business sector, as well as brand name proceeds to be represented as outdated with long-term health care illnesses ever more getting all the more really serious, fees in health-related treatment acquiring from the roof and an absence of appropriately tapping into complex improvements to positively result heath treatment therapy management (Forkner-Dunn, 2003).

Bail Set at Half Million for Alleged Driver Involved in Fatal Hit and Run Near Pine Point
Carol McCarthy | Feb 12, 2018 AT 12:13 pm
DETROIT LAKES, MN--Bail was set at $500,000 today, Monday, for 47 year old Bruce Basswood. The Ponsford man arrested Thursday following a fatal hit and run accident near Pine Point is charged in Becker County District Court with two counts of Criminal Vehicular Homicide, one for being under the influence of alcohol and the other for leaving the scene. Court records state, a deputy arrived at the scene of the accident Thursday night where he found two unidentified females attempting CPR on 21-year-old Joshua Jones of Ponsford. When ambulance crews arrived, they also attempted to render aide, but Jones was pronounced dead at the scene. The deputy also found pieces of the vehicle that struck Jones at the scene. A witness told the deputy where they thought the vehicle originated from. The deputy went to the residence and found the vehicle with damage consistent with the missing pieces left at the scene. Two passengers were questioned during the crash investigation and alleged Basswood, the driver, continued to drive after he had hit someone.
When Basswood was given a preliminary breath test at 10:48 pm, he was allegedly at .10. A blood draw was also taken for a more accurate blood-alcohol reading. Basswood has a prior conviction for DWI from 2016. Basswood's next court date is March 5th.

Penn State-Washington notebook
Lions' defense pressures QB
GLENDALE, Ariz. — The biggest question mark for Penn State in the Fiesta Bowl was whether its defense could get enough pressure on Washington quarterback Jake Browning.
The Nittany Lions were up to that challenge. Browning had been sacked only 16 times all season, but PSU dropped him for four sacks and got in his face on many other plays.
"It was an emphasis this week, obviously," defensive coordinator Brent Pry said. "Just feeling like we needed to do a better job in that department, and not just pressure, but coverage and pressure. I thought the guys did a great job."
"I think we did a good job kind of spying him," linebacker Jason Cabinda said. "We knew he was good at avoiding pressure. That's kind of what he does is extend plays, make plays on the run. We knew we were going to have to keep him on the run, keep him uncomfortable, make sure he couldn't identify pre-snap."
The Huskies got two big plays that led to points, but other than that, Pry said, "For the most part they weren't able to block our front, and that was the biggest thing for us on our side of the football."
SUBHD: Hamilton excels in finale
PSU career receptions leader DaeSean Hamilton caught five passes for 110 yards and two TDs in the final game of his career.
"This is my last days here, just enjoying the time with the team and trying to document all the good moments we're having," Hamilton said. "And obviously finishing the season with a win it really means a lot. And it was really important to everyone on the team, not just the seniors."
SUBHD: Givens has big day
Kevin Givens started at defensive end because of the first-half suspension of Shareef Miller, and the Altoona Area High School product wound up being a disruptive force. He finished with half a sack and four tackles (two solo), plus was involved in a number of other plays.
Safety Marcus Allen was named PSU's defensive MVP, but Givens certainly deserved some consideration. He also played nose tackle and 3 technique tackle during the game.
"I was so impressed with him," Pry said. "You talk about a young guy still, just a sophomore, that bounces back and forth between end and tackle week after week and within a game. He learns it, he doesn't bust and he consistently shows up. He is a very explosive player, and he's hard to block."
Givens has a chance to be a special player the next couple of years.
"We prepared all month for this team, so I had a pretty good game plan of what we were going to do," he said. "Everybody's excited. I'm happy to send out the seniors on a good note."
Asked if Saturday was his best game, Givens said, "I feel like I've made a couple mistakes, so I wouldn't say it was my best game. You never have your best game."
SUBHD: Rahne debuts as offensive coordinator
Ricky Rahne called plays in the 2015 TaxSlayer Bowl, but Saturday was his first time doing so as the full-time offensive coordinator as he replaced Joe Moorhead. Rahne mixed things up all game and kept the Washington defense guessing, plus Trace McSorley's success throwing on third down was the difference.
"It was great for me because I was able to get a lot of plays on the field and get through some things," Rahne said. "Just a great job on third down, great job by the offensive line giving (McSorley) time, and he does a great job of finding time in the pocket and moving around when he needs to. All those guys believe in him, so they're going to get open.
"I felt good, just with the preparation that we had and the tempo we were able to play with, and it translated into the guys being able to play fast," Rahne added.
Rahne called the shovel pass a lot, five times, including two of the first nine offensive plays. The plays didn't gain many yards.
"It probably wasn't quite as effective as I thought it was going to be," Rahne said. "We had to change it a little bit. I thought they played it pretty well, to be honest with you. The shovel pass is just another way to get a run play called."
Rahne was in the press box rather than on the field and noted, "It's because I was there all season. It was just easier for me to be able to organize my thoughts up there."
SUBHD: More PSU suspensions
In addition to linebacker Manny Bowen and wide receiver/special teams ace Irv Charles being removed from the team prior to the Fiesta Bowl, defensive ends Shareef Miller and Shaka Toney were disciplined before the game for a violation of team rules.
Miller was benched for the first half. He wound up with three tackles, including a sack.
Toney was in uniform, but he didn't play and was visibly disappointed when he left the field afterward.
Along with Givens, Ryan Buchholz started at defensive end but Buchholz suffered an injury in the first half and did not return.
It's unclear whether Miller would have played at all had Buchholz not come up lame.
James Franklin attributed the decisions to "rotations."
It marked the second straight year Franklin benched players prior to the bowl game as Bowen and wide receiver Saeed Blacknall sat out last year's Rose Bowl.
Defensive coordinator Brent Pry said the Lions' next-man-up mentality was especially apparent.
"There's guys that get an opportunity when something like that happens," he said. "Time and again, we've had guys take advantage when their number is dialed. They've played well and helped us win games. That was the case again today."
SUBHD: Get your tickets
Penn State sold approximately 9,300 of its ticket allotment of 12,500.
That's about 1,000 more than Washington sold, according to the Seattle Times.
"Once again, Nittany Nation traveled well," Jeff Garner, PSU assistant athletic director for tickets, said. "We successfully distributed the majority of our ticket allotment with many more Penn Staters in attendance."
Bowls are typically reimbursed by respective conferences for unsold tickets.
Penn State appreciated its level of support as Nittany Lions' fans outnumbered Washington's base during the pre-bowl leadup and Saturday at University of Phoenix Stadium, which has a capacity of 72,158.
Attendance was 61,842.
"We don't have a breakdown of where are folks were coming from, but two straight trips to the west coast (including Rose Bowl last year), but we're pleased with our turnout," Penn State associate athletic director of communications Jeff Nelson said.
SUBHD: Stevens mum on future
Backup quarterback Tommy Stevens saw a lot of action as an offensive utility man Saturday. He was asked after the game if he's thought about his future and whether he will stay at PSU or possibly seek a transfer.
"I haven't really thought about it," Stevens said. "Now I have a little bit of time to figure out what I want to do. But I tried to keep it true, worry about who were were going to play that week, what they were going to do, and ultimately be prepared for that opponent. I'm proud of myself for being able to do that and give myself a chance to be successful."
He does seem to like the way he was used late in the season. He was listed as a starter at the "lion" position for the bowl game.
"It was really fun," Stevens said. "I'm really happy to be a part of the game plans and be able to help out in wins like this. … I think there's still stuff there that we're going to do. I guess we'll see how creative they are with what they're going to do. Whatever it is, I'm excited to see what's on the table."

"My Story" Chapter 10
"My Story" – by Randall Butisingh.
(Reminiscences during my life beginning 1913)
I remember as a little boy, I used to go to the Buxton beach to collect the little fishes that the fishermen would reject. At that time there was actually a shell beach at Buxton and the nearby villages. I used to sit and wait for the boats to come in. I enjoyed the pleasant sea breeze and watched the waves as they rolled into the beach. I would collect small shells; a few would give a whistling sound. I used to wonder how the tides ebb and flow. When the tide was at its full flow, the boats would begin to come in. First, they would appear on the horizon as a speck and would gradually grow larger and larger as they approached. As they get very near, they would furl their sails and cast anchor. As a child all this was fascinating to me.
I also liked to look out of the train window when we traveled. The train would seem quite stationery and the houses, lamp posts and everything outside would fly past. I would also wonder being followed by the moon when I stroll in the open on a moonlight night and how it would stop when I stopped walking. The reflection of the sky over a clear stream as I cross a bridge would also fill me with awe.
My childhood days were days of wonder. I was very inquisitive and would ask questions about God and birth. I was told in Sunday school that God made me. I visualized God in human form and wanted to know who made Him. It was later I began to understand that He was spirit and was all pervading though I did not fully grasp the concept. I accepted that God made me, but I knew that I had come out of my mother's tummy, so I asked her how I got out. My mother was always patient with me in answering my questions. She always gave an answer. She told me God opened her tummy and when I came out, he closed it. It did not appear to me that I was born in the same manner as our calf did when my father acted as midwife.
As I said in an earlier chapter, I was fairly comfortable in handling all the subjects at school, except arithmetic which remained my bugbear. We were required to convert sterling into local currency – a pound then was four dollars and eighty cents – to add, subtract and divide sterling and do the same with avoirdupois weight, long and square measures and the like. That entailed knowing all the tables which we had to memorise. It is not like today when children can carry calculators to school to help them with their work. It must be understood that in those days, learning was memory work; slight regard was given to comprehension. Those who could memorise best got the best results. Dependence on memory, however, deprives you of the power of expression. It leaves no room for imagination and originality. I remember a lecturer in Hygiene who would prefer that you give him, as answers to his questions, word for word as is in his notes.
We had to memorise everything. Only drawing or art, we could not memorise. However even that was not left to our imagination as we had to make the likeness of flat copies with straight lines and curves. I remember how difficult it was to make the ellipses of a tea cup and saucer. The sad thing about it was that the educators believed in memorizing. At examinations, no questions were asked that would tax the individual's capacity for thinking or to plumb the depth of his imagination or innovativeness. Inevitably expression was poor. At a Teacher's Certificate Examination, a teacher was fortunate to get an essay which he crammed, in his English paper.
One good feature in those days was the teaching of grammar in the study of the English Language in the primary school. This was necessary as the language spoken by the pupils at home and among themselves was Creolese. Creolese is not broken English; it has elements of Dutch, African, even Arabic as in the word 'baksiz' a corruption of baksheesh meaning 'gift'. It is difficult for the Englishman to understand Creolese. However some teachers went too far; only the basics needed to be taught. In this subject, there was much memorizing of definitions and less application of rules.
I must say that school life was not constant drudgery. There were periods of pleasant diversions when there were preparations for a concert, the school treat, showing of lantern slides – there were no videos in those days – the impromptu concert, and games like cricket for the boys and rounders for the girls, athletics and the school fair. Those were times when tensions were relieved and all were happy. Our headmaster was a good cricketer; he bowled and batted well.
The school where we played cricket was small. There was the school on the eastern side, a canal on the western side, a private lot on the northern side and the cemetery on the southern side. During play, if the ball is hit in the canal, a boy was there ready to plunge to retrieve it; or it may be hit into the cemetery or the private lot. There were also pit latrines on the ground. On one occasion, the door of a pit latrine was left open and the ball escaped the fielder and landed into the pit. Those who know what a pit latrine is, would know what the ball had got into. The best thing that could have been done was to get a new ball or end the game. But there was no new ball and enthusiasm was high, so the ball was retrieved with a hoe, borrowed from a neighbour, and placed on the ground covered with foul-smelling excreta. Seeing this I laughed loudly. Thereupon the headmaster ordered me to pick it up and wash it in the canal. I dared not disobey, so I lifted the messy object with my thumb and first finger, took it to the canal from where we drank and washed it. Except for stored rain water, there was no other source of water for drinking or cooking in those days but the canal.

Dear Mahashri,
I just read your story about your childhood, I enjoyed it, It was interesting to know how was school at this time and it was sad to see how they were teaching you, using fear.
Thank you for sharing these memories, they help to know you better.
You made a profound statement – that based on the way we were taught our power of verbal expression could be poor.
Dear Grandfather Butising, first of all I would like to introduce myself I am the son of Rambharos nickname Jitan from Annadale Guyana. My father guru was the late Chandra Sama Persaud. I am reading your beautiful novel and I can remember some of these stories told to me by my father and grandparents. These are very true facts of those days. You were a excellent Hindi teacher and a great man in the village. We thank god for given us such a gem. Seeta Ram.
