Zambak magazine was an ethnic political magazine published in Chicago[1] between the years 1994 and 2008. It was founded during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina as large groups of Bosnian refugees settled in the United States. Zambak started as a newsletter published by the Information Center of Bosnia Herzegovina in Chicago,[2] and one year later it became an independent magazine publishing monthly issues until 2008.
Zambak reported on political, economic, and cultural developments globally, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as on the activities of the local Bosnian community in Chicago. The magazine's mission was to inform and support the process of integration of the thousands of newly arrived emigres from the conflict-ridden Balkan region. It promoted strong links between local small-businesses and the community. Zambak was committed to upholding and promoting the belief of a united and multi-ethnic Bosnia and Herzegovina by fostering a platform for diverse political exchanges.
Zambak's director and owner was Ismet Berbic. Its editors, over the years, include: Bakir Viteskic, Mensur Seferovic, Dr. Esad Boskailo, Dr. Amir Berberkic, and Mugdim Karabeg. Regular contributors from Bosnia and Herzegovina were notable writers and journalists such as Mile Stojić and Gojko Beric, amongst others.
Zambak was recognized for its particular attention to arts and culture and design and illustrations. The magazine's use of provocative, satirical and politically engaged covers reflected the pertinent themes of each issue. Zambak was art-directed by brothers Amir Berbic (1998–2004) and Isak Berbic (2004–2008).
Zambak was distributed free of charge, which was made possible by the financial support of local businesses. In 2008, after 105 published issues, Zambak ceased publication amidst difficult financial circumstances.
Throughout its history, Zambak's contributors published stories on politics, war, immigrant life in the US, culture, arts, and education.[3]
The name Zambak (Lily) is in reference to the fleur-de-lis symbol, lilium bosniacum, on the Bosnian medieval coat of arms which was revitalized in the early 1990s Bosnian independence movements.

Interview with Deborah Peyton: Cartoonist, Designer, Entrepreneur
March 4, 2005
Freelance cartoonist, illustrator and creator of the "Day to Day" comic strip, Deborah Peyton is gradually making a name for herself in the art of cartooning. She has keen sense of what tickles the funny bones of readers in all walks of life. In a truly creative twist, Deborah is taking her wonderful work from images on paper into prints on fabrics and buttons. Come on along and find out how this talented cartoonist, designer, entrepreneur and mom is making her distinctive mark in cartooning.
Hello Deborah and welcome to The Cartoonists. Thank you for taking time out from your busy schedule to share your story.
1. When and where were you born, Deborah? Would you tell us about your family?
I was born on July 13, 1963 in Fredericton, New Brunswick. My parents divorced when I was fifteen. Until then we could have been the "poster family" for the all Canadian family. My mom was a nurse and my dad, a Mountie. I have two brothers, one older and one younger. My husband, Derrick, and I have been married for 15 years. We have two daughters, Jaime (20 yrs) and Krista (14 Yrs).
2. Were you interested in cartooning as a child?
Yes, I was very interested in cartoons as a child. As long as I can remember I was fascinated by cartoons. Actually, my enjoyment went beyond the stories and humour. I remember, even at a very young age, loving the colours and the clean outlines of the artwork. Some of my favourite cartoons on TV were The Bugs Bunny Roadrunner Hour, The Flintstones, Scooby Doo, etc. In my teens it was MAD Magazine. I had a HUGE collection of MAD pocket books. Ha! I must have drawn hundreds of Don Martin characters. Archie was also another favourite. I would spend hours drawing Betty and Veronica.
3. Did you attend art school or start down another career path?
As much as I drew when I was growing up it never occurred to me that it was something I could do for a living. I never really thought beyond the pure joy of drawing. I was a hairstylist for 10 years before I met my husband. When we married we moved from Fredericton to St. John's, Newfoundland. Here I enrolled in University as a mature student. I chose to do a joint honours degree in Geology/Geophysics. This was a very busy time for us as we now had two small children. In my third year I became very ill and subsequently had three major surgeries within 12 months. I was forced to stop university so I could recuperate. It was during this time that I began drawing again. NOW it occurred to me that I could be a cartoonist.
4. When was your first comic published?
My first cartoon was published in 1993, about 6 months after I stopped going to university. It was published in a small weekly newspaper in Enfield, Nova Scotia where we had recently moved. My single panel feature was called 'Day to Day' and it ran weekly for the next six years in this paper. In 1994 we moved back to Fredericton, NB and 'Day to Day' was picked up as a daily here. In 1997 I self-published my first book titled 'Day to Day' and in 1999 my second book, 'Surviving Day to Day'. I sold over 13,000 copies. I also had a small line of t-shirts, mugs, magnets, calendars, etc. In 2001, after suffering a family crisis, I retired 'Day to Day'. It was a very difficult decision for me because my characters had become very much like old friends. I took the next two years off.
5. Where are your cartoons published right now?
I returned to work in 2004 as a freelance illustrator/cartoonist. I do custom cartoons and humorous illustration through my company, Fine-Tooning. I've also formed a business partnership with designer, Debra Quartermain. Through our company, 'PQexpressions!, we design and create artwork for licensing. Debra has an amazing eye for design so together we collaborate on the designs and I do the artwork. We have a lot of fun working together. Currently we are in the final stages of a line of baby fabric for a large fabric manufacturer. It will be available on the market in August, 2005. A U.S. button manufacturer will also be licensing some of the same designs for a matching line of baby buttons. It's all very exciting.
6. How do you create your cartoons?
When I create a cartoon I always write the gag first. I spend a lot of time on this. It's important to have correct timing and proper rhythm in the punch line. I don't want the reader stumbling over awkward phrasing. When I'm happy with the gag I use regular laser printer paper and pencil in the rough. I use a Hunt 101 pen nib for drawing and a Speedball B5½ nib for lettering. My ink is Speedball waterproof, black India ink. Depending on the effect I'm looking for sometimes I will do my line work with a black, ultra fine point Sharpie. For the colour work I will either use my Pantone markers or I will do it completely on the computer. Again, it depends on the effect I want.
7. Is the computer one of your tools?
Yes, the computer is one of my tools. A very important tool. I do most of my work in Photoshop, anything from cleaning up line work to airbrushing an illustration.
8. Do you have assistants or help from family members?
Other than bombarding my family with, "Is this funny?" I do all of the artwork myself.
9. Deborah, you have a distinctive style in both your delightful humour and art-did it come naturally or did it develop over time?
I think the ability to see the humour in every day life and transform these ideas onto paper is the part that comes naturally. The style and quality of the artwork is, in my opinion, what develops over time. Ha! Looking back at my earlier cartoons I definitely have to say that it takes time to develop ones skill as an artist.
10. Which do you find more important, the writing or the drawing?
I feel, in cartooning, the writing is the most important part. A beautiful piece of art won't save a bad gag. That being said, I believe it's necessary to have a good grasp of the technicalities of drawing and design. That is balance, perspective, composition, etc. This also applies to drawing the human figure (posture, body weight distribution, facial expressions, etc.) All of this has to be considered while keeping detail to a minimum.
11. Are your characters based on yourself or family/friends?
My characters in 'Day to Day' were loosely based on my family. I often wrote about situations that I or my family encountered on a daily basis. I think every character I develop for a cartoon has a little piece of me or someone I know in him or her.
12. Do you use particular methods to keep inspired? Do you wake up in the middle of the night with ideas and scramble to jot them down in the dark?
I don't believe a cartoonist ever stops thinking about ideas. Every situation is a potential cartoon so for that reason I always carry a notebook. I even sleep with a pen and paper beside the bed as I will often get ideas while I'm drifting off to sleep. As much as I love drawing cartoons I have to say that the writing is my favourite part. To me writing gags is a lot like fishing (and I love fishing). I can spend all day happily casting my line into the water but the second I hook a fish it's absolutely electric. I know a good gag when I think of one, but a GREAT gag... I can actually feel it. It's a rush!
13. Has it been challenging to juggle cartooning and raising a family?
It has been a challenge, yes. Especially when the kids were younger. That was when I was doing the daily, selling my books, moving merchandise. My husband travels quite often with his work so at times it was a little overwhelming. (He is a Survey Engineer involved with ocean mapping.) It's better now that the kids are older. We only have one at home now so I have my studio in her old room. But working around family and their various schedules isn't the only challenge. It's also the isolation of working alone. I've chosen to work outside of the house for two days/week just to stay in touch with the world. I love animals so I was lucky enough to find a job at a veterinarian clinic in my area. It's also been wonderful having a business partner for the past year. We get together once a week or so and discuss new ideas and designs over lunch. A real brainstorming session. It's a nice change after 12 years.
14. How do you promote your work, Deborah? Has the Internet helped?
Promotional mailings such as postcards, promo sheets etc. We attend tradeshows regularly as well as networking meetings and, of course, word of mouth.
My website hasn't been up that long so I still have a lot of new artwork to put up. Even so, it's been a great marketing tool. It's so simple to direct a potential client to your site. I've been back to work just less than a year so I still have a lot to get going.
15. What goals do you have for your work?
Right now my focus is on getting Fine-Tooning back into the loop after my time off. I am working on a new daily strip that has been living in my head for the past few years. I am also rebuilding my portfolio with the new work I've done over the past several months. I'm very happy with the quality of my work since I've returned so I want to bring that into the forefront. My other work through PQexpressions! has been doing phenomenal already. We have a lot happening with our designs so that's been keeping me quite busy. I'm very excited to see what the next year brings.
16. Are you a member of any cartooning society or professional group?
Yes, I'm a member of the National Cartoonist's Society. It's based in the US although we now have a Canadian Chapter. It's a wonderful way to meet other professionals who do what you do. Ha! It's so refreshing to talk to people who actually care about ink and paper and pens and all that cartoony stuff. I try to attend as many of their functions as I can. I've made some great friends through the NCS.
17. What advice would you give to aspiring cartoonists?
Cartooning can be a tough business. We keep hearing, "Everybody's cutting back! Newspapers, magazines!" But that doesn't mean there isn't business out there. You have to be smart, diligent, and good at what you do. You have to approach this as a serious business. Be creative and don't be afraid to try something new. I remember during a particularly trying time at the beginning of my career I spoke to a veteran cartoonist and he told me to, "...push yourself beyond where others would quit." His statement has kept me going many times when it would have been easier just to give up.
Good luck with your plans, Deborah. Thanks for letting us share a moment in your busy, creative life.

Who's Afraid of Facebook?
Facebook recently released a rather long list of all the information and data they record about their users, and it is pretty terrifying.
I was going to start this article off with a scary analogy about how our current world is slowly starting to look very similar to that of a post-apocalyptic utopian nightmare, but I then realised that the analogy really wasn't needed. I just need to show you the facts, and that will be enough to make you sleep with the light on…and maybe some tin foil wrapped around your head.
The 98 long list has all the expected stuff such as, Relationship status, Age, Location, Sex, and Occupation, but there are also quite a few bits that make you shiver and feel really rather naked when you're sat in front of your computer. The social networking giant currently tracks Income and net worth, Home value, Credit card type, Political standing, Style and Brand of car, and so much more. Facebook even decides what type of Mother you are. Whether you are a sporty mum, a trendy mum, or an Iceland mum, Facebook will put you into some sort of grouping system.
This isn't the first time that Facebook have been in the spotlight for the wrong reasons regarding data collection. In 2015, Facebook were caught with their pants down when it came to light that Facebook were tracking non-users as well. Researchers found that anyone who visited a Facebook.com domain instantly had a datr cookie installed on their browser. This cookie then tracked the person's online movements for the next two years. If you were silly enough to not read the Facebook terms and agreements before joining, like myself, then Facebook are fully entitled to drag whatever data they want and track you wherever you go online. But they were tracking everyone regardless if they liked it or not, and so it's pretty easy to see why the court went against Facebook.
After that little blip Facebook went back to just tracking their users and collecting data on virtually everything about their life, which is absolutely fine and we're all okay with it… (Sarcasm doesn't come across very well in text form, so I'm just going to tell you when I'm being sarcastic) I'm being sarcastic. Of course none of us are okay with it, but what we care about doesn't matter now we've ticked that "Agree" box.
Facebook do amazingly actually have reasons for collecting all this data. Obviously no one in their right mind would ever pay for Facebook, even though it would be a mere 25 pennies a month (Yes, 25p is all it takes to remove ads from Facebook), and so Facebook rely on their advertisement to keep things running. Facebook then use the data collected to be able to have relevant adverts pop up all over your Facebook. No, they don't leak the data to other companies because that would be a breach in the terms and agreements, but what they do is take all responsibility for the advertisement and then they decide what advert goes where. So for example, if you're a known user of beauty products then Facebook will throw every beauty advert they have at you. It's simple really.
So to conclude, we are all completely fine with Facebook tracking our entire life because in a couple of years we may need to buy a new car or vote for a new political leader, and then they'll have the perfect advert for us. Thank you Facebook for tracking me, I completely accept and appreciate your online stalking…I'm being sarcastic.

Right sided aortic arch (RAA) is an uncommon congenital anomaly with an incidence of 0.1%, and aortic dissection involving RAA is rare [1]. The surgical approach for a RAA aneurysm remains a complicated problem entity because of its anatomical characteristics. We present a case of type B dissecting aneurysm involving a RAA with Kommerell's diverticulum, in which a successful graft replacement was performed via right posterolateral thoracotomy.
A 47-year-old male with a history of hypertension requiring medication was admitted to our hospital due to chest pain, which is a dull ache and is radiated to the back. The patient's vital signs were stable. Electrocardiography showed no evidence of myocardial ischemia, and transthoracic echocardiography showed a normal left ventricular ejection fraction and no regional wall motion abnormalities. However, a chest X-ray showed mediastinal widening with a right-sided convex-shaped shadow (Fig. 1). Subsequent chest computed tomography revealed a dissecting aneurysm involving a right-sided aorta with Kommerell's diverticulum. The dissection started just distal to the left subclavian artery and propagated to the level of the renal artery, forming an aneurysm with a maximal diameter of 10.5 cm (Fig. 2). An entry tear was detected at the lower thoracic aorta, with two reentry tears at the celiac and renal arterial levels (Fig. 3). The superior mesenteric artery and right renal artery originated from the true lumen, while the celiac trunk and left renal artery originated from the false lumen. The abdominal aorta was located on the left side.
Surgical intervention was indicated due to signs of impending rupture, periaortic fluid collection, and an increase in size. A right posterolateral thoracotomy was performed, which adequately exposed the right aortic arch and right descending aorta. A cardiopulmonary bypass was started after cannulation of the right common femoral artery and vein. The patient was cooled to 20℃. During circulatory arrest, a 28-mm tube graft with a 10-mm side arm was anastomosed proximally at the distal aberrant left subclavian artery. Next, the circulation was started with the graft-side arm cannulation. During the rewarming period, a distal anastomosis was performed after generous resection of the distal dissection flap. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient remained well during the 6-month follow-up period.
RAA is a rare congenital anomaly with a general incidence of approximately 0.1% [1]. Embryologically, the aortic arch is formed from the left aortic arch as the right aortic arch degenerates. However, if the left instead of the right aortic arch degenerates, the aortic arch will be formed from the right aortic arch [2,3]. The result can be classified into three types, depending on the pattern of degeneration of the left aortic arch and the branching pattern of the great vessels [2,3]. The so-called mirror image pattern is an uncommon type in which the great vessels originate from the arch in the following order: left innominate artery, right common carotid artery, and right subclavian artery. A mirror image-type right aortic arch was shown to be associated with major congenital heart disease in 98% of patients, including tetralogy of Fallot, truncus arteriosus, and tricuspid atresia [3,4]. The most common type occurs when the great vessels originate from the arch in the following order: left common carotid artery, right common carotid artery, right subclavian artery, and left subclavian artery originating from Kommerell's diverticulum. This type is less frequently associated with major cardiac anomalies (5 to 10%) [2,4-6]. The only cardiac anomaly in the present case was an aberrant left subclavian artery originating from Kommerell's diverticulum. The third and rarest type occurs when the left common carotid artery, right common carotid artery, and right subclavian artery originate in order from the right aorta, and the left subclavian artery is not connected [3,7]. Most patients with an RAA are asymptomatic; however, tracheoesophageal compression may occur due to a vascular ring that develops from the ductus arteriosus, which connects the left pulmonary artery to the left subclavian artery or Kommerell's diverticulum [5-7].
The true incidence of a right-sided aortic aneurysm or dissection is unknown, but aortic dissection does not appear to be increased in frequency in individuals with a right aortic arch [6]. However, Bodine et al. [8] suggested that a type B dissection developed more frequently than other types of dissection in patients with an RAA. Patients with an RAA have a shorter radius and more acute curvature of the arch compared with the usual gentle curve of the left aortic arch. This change in direction of blood flow from the cephalic to the caudal represents an additional stress to the tissues in the vessel wall, which could predispose affected individuals to a type B dissection in the RAA [7,8]. In our case, the dissection was of Stanford type B; thus, it did not involve the ascending aorta and it extended to the renal arterial level distally. For treatment, a surgical approach is the most important consideration because the anatomical features of a right-sided aorta present specific technical problems compared with a normal left-sided aorta. Commonly used surgical approaches in such cases include a midline sternotomy, right thoracotomy, left thoracotomy, and bilateral thoracotomy; however, these approaches may not be appropriate for a complete repair [9,10]. The surgical intervention in our case was performed successfully by right posterolateral thoracotomy, and the patient's postoperative course was uneventful.
In conclusion, aortic dissection involving a right-sided aorta is a rare condition, and right posterolateral thoracotomy may be a good method to adequately expose an RAA.

As a writer, finding your literary soul mate will most likely be a subject as close to your heart as the blood that runs through it.
There are a few ways you can approach what you write. You can make up a character and invent a bunch of different, varied and brilliant stories. That's wonderful. Or, you can take the time and make the effort to find your literary soul mate.
Agatha Christie has Miss Marple and Poirot. Jeff Lindsay has Dexter. Lee Child has Jack Reacher. Author Conan Doyle has Sherlock Holmes. Shakespeare has Hamlet (and a few others…).
The difference between these characters and others we forget the moment we read the last words on the page? These ones are genuine. They have depth and a kind of reality and makes us believe the story they're living no matter how insane.
I'm willing to bet that all the best books you've read have characters that you remember. You will most likely not recall all the details of their story, but you'll remember them. You'll know their height, their moods, their look, their feel, their smell, their attitude, how they walk, what they eat, what they like, what they don't like, what they will and won't do, how far they can be pushed, what their breaking point is and what is likely to happen when they reach it.
As a READER you know these things even if they aren't explicitly detailed in the books.
The great thing with these literary soul mates is that authors can put them into just about any situation they choose because they're so well known and understood that their responses, no matter what the crisis, will be true. They never let us down. It's like the author has stepped out of the way and the character has taken on their own life.
Here's my thinking on the subject of finding your literary soul mate
There's a literary soul mate (or more than one if you keep looking) for every dedicated writer. A character that will come back again and again and again. A character that no other author but you can write. It's a character that feels as much a part of the you as your own liver.
You'll know when you've found your literary soul mate because it feels like coming home. The character makes sense to you. You see them as an entire person, not a list of attributes and pivotal moments. That character will wake you in the morning, shadow you through the day and fall asleep with you at night. Any other character will feel like a cardboard cutout compared. You will love this character and want to spend time with them. You'll want to put them through hell just to see how they save themselves. For them, you'll want to be the best writer you can be. They'll demand it. When your writing stumbles, they'll tell you you're being an idiot and get you back on track. They will take the story over.
The best series are led by literary soul mates. The reader knows that, so they come back for more when the next book comes out.
So how you find your literary soul mate? How do you find the character you want to spend hours and days, months and years of your life with?
STEP ONE: Get out the way.
STEP TWO: Don't try too hard.
STEP THREE: Shut up.
They'll speak to you when you're ready.
Happy hunting.

Holy cow! Everything there is to know about agriculture is what "tourists" are in store for during Sunday's annual Lehigh County Open Gate Farm Tour.
Visit 17 farms and related sites and see just how much hard work, time and money is involved in operating a farm. It might shock the kids to discover that the tomatoes, broccoli, apples and other food that they enjoy (or don't) doesn't just magically appear at the supermarket.

Business is booming at Xquisite Nail Design and Day Spa in Mount Joy, where dozens of new customers have been responding to a cover story advertorial in Local Marketplace magazine.
Sales immediately surged at the day spa after the January issue hit mailboxes in Mount Joy, Elizabethtown and surrounding areas. The phone calls are still coming in.
Lori Houser, owner of Xquisite, has been blown away by the response, which delivered a nearly instant return on investment.
"It's the best form of advertising I've ever done in my fifteen years in business." Lori said, referring to the Premium Advertiser Package, which included a full-page article featured on the front cover and a separate full-page ad.
Xquisite doubled last year's sales of gift cards for Valentine's day with nearly all the customers saying they saw the ad in Local Marketplace. In fact, within just 11 days after the issue came out, Xquisite almost matched the total gift card sales it had generated throughout the entire Christmas season last year.
Some days, 3 to 4 new customers came in the door, while the phone rang off the hook – all of the customers mentioning the ad.
It's now a running joke at the salon," Lori said. "When a call comes in and one of our staff asks, 'Who was that?' we say, 'Just another call from Local Marketplace!' It's been amazing and out of control."
Xquisite also booked a bridal party, plus four Princess Parties, a kid-focused package that was featured in the cover story. Each booking has come from people responding to the cover story – many of them saying they had "no clue" the day spa existed or how nice it was.
"I received better response from the cover story in Local Marketplace than advertising full page ads in similar publications. No other publication has come close to these results!"
–Marco Sardi, Marco's Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria
"We've done over 50 new estimates already, directly from the article. And we had a number of previous customers who have called to say that they saw the article, and that's leading to more work, too."
–Greg Bootay,
Eastern Mobile Wash
"Best advertising I've done in my 15 years in business!"
–Lori Houser, Xquisite Nail Design and Day Spa
"Local Marketplace has greatly helped us become more recognizable both in and out of our town. The Holiday issue, which happened to be our cover story, boosted our sales. We started receiving phone calls with questions the day that it came out. We like working with the art department as well as the sales reps. Overall excellent experience."
–Leda Eckman,
Simp-Lee Seafood

text: TNE Editor / Thursday, April 20, 2017 / Categories: Arts & Entertainment, Festivals, Music GFest brings music entertainment to Northeastern Oklahoma Published 4/20/17 Hillary Garrett TNE Writer Last year in Muskogee, GFest was born. GFest is a citywide concert where bands come and put on a weekend long festival. GFest took place last year in June. The headliner was originally Merle Haggard, but Haggard passed away on April 6 due to complications of pneumonia. Days before the event was to take place, The Avett Brothers became the new headliner for GFest 2016. Last year, GFest took place in Muskogee at Love Hatbox Sports Complex. GFest will take place at the complex again this year. Jim Blair, CEO of GFest, said he isthrilled about GFest and all the new things coming. "I am most excited about the new additions to GFest," said Blair. "We are enhancing this year's event with a Wednesday night Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame induction and more shows under the shade. We are expecting 20,000 people over the span of the weekend." At GFest, there are not just bands. There are food vendors, shops and much more. To become a food vendor or nonfood vendor, applications must be filled out and guidelines must be followed. Cristin Shelby, Muskogee resident, said she set up a nonfood vendor table at GFest last year. "Having a booth at GFest was a blast," said Shelby. "It is really fun to be a part of such an upbeat atmosphere and see all different kinds of people come together for their love of music." GFest also allows camping. There are two different options to choose from. There is primitive camping, which costs $80 plus fees, and there is RV camping, which costs $325 plus fees. All camping has hookups for water and electric. GFest needs volunteers to help with things from volunteer check-in to GFest hospitality. Volunteers can work one shift and will receive a wristband for that day. They will get a free T-shirt and designated parking spot. GFest receives more volunteer applications than volunteer spots, so spots are not guaranteed. 2016 volunteers have first opportunity to volunteer again this year. GFest is a three-day event with different bands each night. The bands have been released, but times and artists are subject to change. This year's headliners will be Blackberry Smoke, NEEDTOBREATHE and Creedence Clearwater Revisited. GFest kick-off begins at 3:30 p.m., Thursday, June 15 with Becky Hobbs, John Fullbright, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Blackberry Smoke. Friday's lineup consists of California Honeydrops, JJ Grey and Mofro, The Mavericks and NEEDTOBREATHE. On Saturday, Ricochet will kick things off, followed by Ben and Noel Haggard and The Strangers, The Swon Brothers, Kentucky Headhunters and Creedence Clearwater Revisited. Three Rivers Band will also be playing at GFest this year. Justin Rhoden, Three Rivers Band bass player, said he is excited to play in GFest. "We are excited to play at GFest this year," said Rhoden. " We are looking forward to playing for everyone there." Applications for vendors, volunteers and nonvendors are located on the GFest website.

Field Yates of ESPN reports that the Colts hosted Bears restricted free agent WR Cameron Meredith for a visit on Tuesday.
The Bears used the right of first refusal restricted tender on Williams, which means they can match an offer sheet he receives from another team. However, they would not receive any draft pick compensation if they were to decline to match the offer.
Meredith, 25, wound up signing on with the Bears as an undrafted free agent out of Illinois State back in May of 2015. He played out the final year of his three-year, $1.581 million contract and is currently testing the open market as a restricted free agent this offseason.
Meredith missed the 2017 season after suffering a torn ACL.
In 2016, Meredith appeared in 14 games and caught 66 passes for 888 yards receiving and four touchdowns. Pro Football Focus had him rated as the No. 53 receiver out of 115 qualifying players that season.

Retail ideas agency Live & Breathe has developed an integrated campaign to increase awareness of the new Habitat Gift Service.
The offering is positioned by the retailer as "a contemporary take on traditional gift lists."
Customers celebrating a special occasion open a "pledge account" into which friends and relatives contribute anything from £10 upwards.
Habitat contributes an additional 10 per cent to the total amount pledged, and offers customers a free personal shopper for the day to help them choose products to suit their lifestyle. Habitat also gives a free £5 voucher to everyone who pledges to an account.
Live & Breathe has developed an integrated press and online campaign, showcasing the benefits of this service.
Although the agency inherited the "gift wrap" concept, based on the iconic work of Christo, the artist known for "wrapping" huge structures, it originated the approach used to visualize Habitat's 10 per cent pledge account "top-up".
Press ads will appear in 'Brides' magazine from September, with Live & Breathe's online execution of each ad appearing in expandable sky, standard banner and MPU formats across the 'You and Your Wedding' website from July onwards.
3D flash animation brings the "something extra" visual concept to life and clicks through to the Habitat Gift Service website (habitat.net/hgs).
Habitat UK's marketing and PR manager, Carla Bowden, said, "The work will play a vital role in bringing this new service to the attention of our target audience."

Life of Death (Blood of my World Novella Three): A Paranormal Romance based on 0 ratings. 8 reviews.
Can someone please nook friend me so i can borrow this book or any others in this series. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE :)
BLOOD OF MY WORLD TRILOGY I enjoyed the pace of this trilogy of 3 novellas. One of the things I especially liked was the opening of each novella, which features cool, lyrical poetry that sets the tone for each installment! The content focuses on the love story between the characters (which isn't necessarily the same as trashy romance and/or romantic fluff, that's often heavily influenced by the aspect of lust and "how hot/desirable" the two guys involved in the formulaic love triangle are). I GREATLY appreciated that the vampires here did not sparkle, and were not "emo caricatures." The POV (point of view) is third-person, allowing us to view the characters' thoughts and motivations in an unbiased manner. The balanced combination of contemporary romance with a more traditional take (depiction of the vampires, the hint of old-school dramatic romantic elements) is maintained throughout all 3 novellas. The end was beautifully written (emotive without being sappy). It's vampires in the "paranormal romance" genre done right.
BLOOD OF MY WORLD TRILOGY By A.P. Fuchs I'm not the biggest fan of paranormal romance, especially with the release of books such as THE VAMPIRE DIARIES and the TWILIGHT series (which I do not consider horror). However I was intrigued by a YA novella trilogy by A.P. Fuchs who is perhaps best known for writing about zombies. BLOOD OF MY WORLD consists of three novellas-DISCOVERY OF DEATH, MEMORIES OF DEATH, and LIFE OF DEATH-that tell the story of high school sweethearts Zach and Rose. Zach has unexpectedly disappeared, leaving Rose in a state of confusion and worry. Zach has become a vampire and has no memory of his former life, including Rose. One fateful night Zach is taken out to feed by his vampire mother Mira and kills Rose's mother. Experiencing his victim's memories, Zach is confused by the people he sees and what his connection to them may be. In the meantime, in the wake of her mother's death, Rose discovers that she comes from a long line of vampire slayers. While dealing with the funeral and her training Rose sees Zach and knows what he has become. Rose's father Marcus also knows what Zach has become and instructs his daughter to stay away from the cemetery. Marcus explains that vampires have no feelings or emotions for anyone in their former lives, which is what makes them such effective killers. Zach tries to understand what is happening to him and what Rose meant to him. Zach's vampire family seems ready to accept Rose, even though she's a human. Ultimately Zach will be forced to choose between his vampire family and Rose, and truths will come out that help Zach determine where his loyalties lie. Fuchs has written a very good story in BLOOD OF MY WORLD. The characters are well-developed and his vampires' characteristics are quite interesting. I enjoyed the Shakespeare-esque story of the young lovers from different and clashing worlds-vampire and slayer. What I also liked about this trilogy is that it doesn't have the creepiness that most other vampire romances targeting young girls have. Zach is only a vampire for a few weeks when he and Rose meet again, he's not a hundred-plus year old vampire "in love" with a teen girl. In other words, Zach isn't a dirty old man, he's still just a kid. The horror elements are really good, too. The vampires have ulterior motives that ultimately drive the story-they aren't an afterthought. The romance aspect is a bit intense at times, so if paranormal romance isn't your thing, then this is not the trilogy for you. Overall BLOOD OF MY WORLD is a really good read for its target audience. Colleen Wanglund
I will have to say that I enjoyed Blood of My World novella trilogy. It had enough differences to make it stand out as a paranormal romance read but also infused with some of the vampire traditions that we know already. In Discovery of Death, Zach Mohansen wakes up as a vampire and is engulfed in love from his "family" which includes his mom Mira (Morticia description), dad Rain, brother Wil and a sister named Cassandra aka Cassie. Because he is newly transformed he doesn't remember his human life right away. We are also introduced to Rose Jordan, Zach's love, who is the daughter of vampire slayers. Rose is emotionally torn with the disappearance of her love (think Twilight) but knows life must go one. At this time she doesn't know about the secret world of vampires and slayers. Memories of Death continues Zach's journey as he starts to remember all that he has lost. He remembers Rose and seeks her out. Rose has been introduced to the slayers life and now must take up the tradition. When the two meet again there is no denying what they had. Now they are torn between their two families. We also learn that Mira has a more sinister reason for turning Zach. Life of Death is the conclusion to this roller coaster of emotions. Zach has been betrayed by the family he thought loved him and Rose has lost everyone that she has loved except for Zach. Will their love see them through? Blood of My World compiles lots of aspects that I love in paranormal romance. It has the bloody fight scenes, the mushy love scenes and the shocking betrayals that we have grown to love of this genre. Fun quick read. I was able to finish all three stories in an afternoon.

Mich hat gewundert, dass dieses Bild auf einmal so viele Aufrufe hat. Mal eben gegoogelt, jemand hat es wohl im US-amerikanischen Raum verlinkt: https://imgur.com/gallery/BzxcLQD
Die tollsten Kommentare von da:
"This is the first place I ever got drunk."
"I've been there, too bad I was too young to drink back then"
"I've got a much newer one across the street."
"Stole... er... borrowed a glass from there just last year."
"The current building has a very ornate ceramic bowl in the men's bathroom. It's a vomit bowl."
Soll keiner sagen, die Amis hätten keinen Humor ;-)

It has been 3 weeks since CHaD's Roar was heard all around the world--and well, it continues to roar. Right now, we are at 2,719,087 views, actually 2,721,944 since I started writing the post this morning. It has been viewed in over 117 countries.
We were featured on buzzfeed, perez hilton, yahoo news, dailynews, Huffington Post, local news, national news, the daily dot, CNN, German news, Indian news, Italian news (to name a few) and we continue to get requests for interviews. On the outset, there was no intention of making this video a fundraising tool, it was more a celebration and thank you for the support from the CHaD Hero, but they have received donations from Europe, Singapore, South Africa, and all over the US in direct response to the video.
Yesterday, I was speaking with a woman in California who is writing a piece about the video. At one point, I was recounting the thrill of those few days after it went live and watching it break 1 MILLION views in under 72 hours and I had to pause because I unexpectedly started crying, a lot. I have felt emotional about this project along the way but, perhaps, as the producer, I haven't let my guard down because I had work to do. Well, I am feeling it now.
It has been remarkable to hear the kids, who participated in the video, have a place to voice their feelings about being sick and being able to have fun in the video.
It has been remarkable to hear the parents of these kids talk about the strength and renewal it has given them to see their kids smile.
It has been remarkable to hear the staff of DHMC feel a renewed and empowered energy for their own work community.
It has been remarkable to read comments from ALL OVER THE WORLD and how the video has connected to their own experiences.
It has been remarkable to be a part of a viral video that has nothing to do with cats or babies biting fingers.
It has been remarkable, for myself as a creative, to have had this opportunity to be so closely connected to such an incredible collaboration.
It has been remarkable.
I'd like to share one story in particular. On that Tuesday morning when I went to CHaD to film, I was asked to visit a certain patient in her room. I was told that the girl did not want to lip sync but she wanted to be in the video. When I went into her room, she was sitting up in bed. She was a wearing a pink hat and a fluorescent green shirt. She said her name was "Lexy". Her mom was busy getting ready for the morning, obviously living at the hospital with her daughter for who knows how many days. Later, I was told that her caregivers were surprised to see her sitting up because she hadn't in a while.
I was literally only with Lexy for 5 minutes and I asked if she could point to herself and at the camera (thinking of a particular part of the song) and we did that a few times and that was it. We didn't chat much but in the end, I feel like it is one of the most powerful moments in the video. She may look sick, but their is a peace and strength in her that is...remarkable.
Later I found out that would be one of Lexy's last days awake and she was being kept asleep to help her manage the great deal of pain she was in. A facebook page was created by her friends and family, and I watched it go from a few hundred followers to just over 10,000 in the last three weeks. Everyday it was updated to say, that Lexy was still in a great deal of pain but that the thoughts, prayers, and likes of that page were giving Lexy and her family strength.
I think Lexy was too sick to ever see the video but they told her about it going viral and the amazing reception that it received. I also read on her facebook page that her family and friends saw the Roar video as a legacy to her. I read on the page yesterday afternoon that she had passed away. I hope that she heard the words her family and found joy in knowing that millions of people would see her fighting. The part of the song that she is featured on says, "I am a champion, and you're going to"... Lexy we have heard your roar.
My prayers are with her parents, family, and friends at this time.
