The single vineyard Penfolds Magill Estate Shiraz is intrinsically linked to Penfolds beginnings. Based on where the brand is now, this is a grand statement. First produced in 1983, Magill Estate Shiraz is an elegant, medium-weight style with velvety texture and fine tannins, matured in both French and American oak. It is a sleek, contemporary wine, yet crafted in the old fashioned way in the 170-year-old winery: hand-picked, vinified in open fermenters and then basket pressed.
Medium to full-bodied. Flavours akin to white sultana cake, dates...and a touch of freshly tanned suede. Balanced oak, and a perception of spice from French oak, with a creaminess from the American? Long and persistent, propelled by fine mouth-coating tannins and tempered acidity. Distinctive and unique. Quite elegant.

That's Not My God/
At church this morning, our Pastor quoted something by Philip Yancy that really stuck with me. The quote was:
"I have come to know a God who has a soft spot for rebels, who recruits people like the adulterer David, the whiner Jeremiah, the traitor Peter, and the human-rights abuser Saul of Tarsus. I have come to know a God whose Son made prodigals the heroes of his stories and the trophies of his ministry."
Gosh. What a quote....that is so incredibly true. I feel like this quote really puts into perspective of of the main characteristics of God---His tender loving COMPASSION for His people. He sees how broken we are in the midst of this crazy world, and He desires to be our source of reconciliation to that brokenness.
BUT I feel like our culture has Christianity all wrong--which is why so many people are turned off by the idea of pursuing Jesus today. Often non-believers think of Christians as just of bunch of religious hypocrites who pretend to be more perfect than the rest of us.
...It is actually the opposite. As Christians, are all just a bunch of imperfect people in desperate need of God's grace. Now don't get me wrong, we are called to live above reproach as Christians and be a light for His kingdom...but at the end of the day we all mess up. We don't match up to the standard of perfection because we are broken people.
Which is why we so desperately all need JESUS. Heck, you can kick your religion out the door! I don't need any more rules in my life. I need Jesus people. He is the only one gets my mess. He is the ONLY one who can be the ANSWER to my mess. I wouldn't last for a second in religion.
So when people say don't want to serve God because they will never be good enough for a God who is looking for a standard of perfection, I'll tell you right now, that is NOT my God. My God is a loving God who loves to take broken people and show them the path to finding fullness in their relationship with HIM. His love for His people is fierce and deep, and when you encounter it, you'll never be the same.

As briefly as we adore spending time in combination it?s now not uninteresting for me and my adorable fledgling gf to linger at house. As of late we're frolicking backgammon and I will have to say it?s now not much less arousing than wandering concerning the town. I gained the sport and required the rubdown for my victory. It was once truly splendid to perceive Nastya?s arms gliding over my flesh, perceiving the man rod get stiffer from her sensitive fumbles. I determined to sate my ultra-kinky girlfriend with some super-hot rubdown too and after I were given to her fledgling puss neonate was once already revved on and splooge had been pouring out within the expectation of the super-hot nailing hard-core!

Pakistan Literacy Rate latest figure is 58 percent as collective approach of male and female. The separate figure of Literacy Rate In Pakistan is 70 percent for the males and 48 percent of females. Pakistan social and living standards measurement carried out every year but this year it cannot be conducted due to population and housing census.Therefore, Pakistan Literacy Rate is still 58 percent just like 2016 previous year. Every year, Pakistan economic survey reevaluates the figure of literacy rate in pakistan. Some of the Facts and Statistics about the literacy rate in Pakistan province wise is discussed here.
As far as education is concerned Pakistan is one of those nations which are left out in this area and are behind the majority of the countries of this world. Pakistan has one of the worst literacy rates in the world which is one of the very core reasons for the slow growth and destructive economy.
The survey published 2017-18 showing the Pakistan Literacy Rate at the static point. The primary level enrollment stayed at 54 percent in Pakistan. Specifically in Punjab the same primary level enrollment figure is 54 percent. In khyber Pakhtunkhwa the figure of literacy rate is 53 means the 48 percent in Sindh and balochistan with 33 percent. These figures are according to the 2016 economic survey figures. The public expenditure on education has direct impact on literacy rate in pakistan. The evidence came from 2.2 percent of GDP in 2017. 2.2 percent figure is less than the figure of 2.3 percent in 2016. The more the public expenditure on education the rise will be in literacy rate in pakistan.
Overall 87 percent is gross enrollment rate of pakistan while in punjab it has leading figure which is 93 percent. The second province in same race is Khyber pakhtunkhwa with 88 percent rate. Sindh province has 10 percent lower figure of gross enrollment rate while comparing with KPK. Balochistan achieved 60 percent as the gross enrollment rate of pakistan. Males gross enrollment rate is 93 percent as compare to females with 78 percent. Still the need of more females intake is required to boast the pakistan literacy rate figure.
For the financial year of 2017, the education-related expenditure increased by 5.4 percent. The figure after calculation is Rs.699.2 billion in financial year 2017 as compared to the figure of Rs. 663.4 billion for financial year 2016. It is federal figure but the contribution of provinces for annual development plans on education cannot ignore. In financial year of 2016-17, about 5.1 thousand higher secondary schools or inter colleges comprises of 120.3 thousands teachers remain on the board. Higher secondary enrollment decreasing from last two years. It was 1594 thousands in 2016-17 decrease from 1698 thousands in 2015-16. The ideal figure for the higher secondary enrollment is more than 1700 thousands which is expected to achieve in the end of this year.
Following are key performance indicators KPI's for education condition in pakistan and Pakistan Literacy Rate
- Enrollment rates
- Number of institutes in pakistan
- Numbers of teachers in pakistan
Total numbers of enrollment rates is 48.062 million in 2016-17. It is increased figure of 2015-16 with 46.223. The ideal figure in the end of this financial year is more than 50 million.
source: Finance.gov.pk
260.8 thousands institutes in 2016 and 252.8 thousands in 2015 is showing the increasing trend of institutes. The rise in population demands about 270 thousands institutes by the end of this year.
source: Finance.gov.pk
1.726 million teachers in 2016 ad compare to 1.630 million in 2016. It has 5.9 percent increasing trend. The need of 1.808 million by the end of this year is the demand of population in pakistan.
source: Finance.gov.pk
The above given suggestions for KPIs for Pakistan literacy rate shall increase it with desired figure. Education is the vital component for the success and development of any nation which is taken for granted and ignored in Pakistan which has resulted in the lowest literacy rates in the world. Unfortunately Pakistan is ranked at 113th position in the total 120 countries in literacy rate which is one big shame for the nation as well as for the administration of the country. It is not just a shame but a very alarming situation for the country because until Or unless the literacy rate will not be improved and consideration will not be taken for the improvement of education, the future of the country will be doomed in more problems and national issues.
Literacy Rate In Pakistan
In the consensus made in the late 2012 it was being reported that the literacy rate of Pakistan is 56% which includes both males and females and even the places which includes all the rural and urban areas of the country. 56% to be the literacy rate is very low because still it is almost half of the nation which is still illiterate and has nothing to do with the economy as they are contributing nothing in it because the major contribution done is through the education.
Debate About Trends of Literacy Rate In Pakistan
This is the average literacy rate of Pakistan because there is exceptional cases where the rate is very high in few cities like the urban hubs which includes Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi where the literacy rate is almost 75% and even above but when we move to the tribal areas where acquiring the modern education is considered to be un-Islamic by few religious extremist which have destroyed the level of education in such cities. Here the literacy rate is as low as 9% and even lower than this because females here are not allowed to go to the schools and the parents prefer their boys to work rather than going to school and having the education.
source: Finance.gov.pk
Education is a fey crucial aspect and is one of the factors which contributes the most in the development of the national economy and plays the vital role in the growth of the state. So it is the responsibility of the administration as well as the people of Pakistan to make sure that their children are having the education so that they can improve the literacy rate and ultimately the country's situation and status will improve.
Pakistan Literacy Rate 2018
Factors Affecting Literacy Rate in Pakistan:
- Allocations For Education
- Public Expenditure on Primary Education
- Gender Issues
- Fertility Rate
- Participation Rate
- Infra-Structure for Literacy, Non-Formal and Basic Education
Literacy Rate in Pakistan Province Wise:
source: Finance.gov.pk
Education plays a pivotal role for creation of skills and human capital. It lead higher economic growth in pakistan. Education is recognized as a fundamental right of people. Pakistan has achieved Universal Primary Enrollment consider as go a long way forward to improve overall education and literacy level.
The government of Pakistan committed to improving both the quality education. The coverage of education through effective policy interventions. It deals with expenditure allocations. International commitments require political will to achieve EFA goals and MDGs.

There's something about going somewhere you've never been in a vehicle you know is guaranteed to break down at some point.
Quirky and cool mini-documentary from The Atlantic. It's about people who love road trips and living out of vans for weekends, months or even years.
Vanlifing is not about fetishizing the vans, it is about enjoying the time, sleeping in random places, camping, cooking outside, fixing broken down vehicles and enjoying the company of fellow vanlifers.
It's interesting to me the way just clicking on a hashtag can lead you down a path of just following someone's trip or adventure or life.
The video follows a group of vanlifers who talk about what the lifestyle means to them and who are conscious of the tension between their social media presence and the attitude underpinning their lifestyle.
You don't need six figures, you just need time.
Despite the apparent contradiction between the lives they lead and their use of hashtags to support and inspire it, this video shows how a virtual community can become a real one and also how following online journeys can easily be the start of a real one. But that's just, like, my opinion man.

Padang Bai restaurant The Colonial
Padang Bai restaurant The Colonial
Padang Bai restaurant The Colonial is situated very close to the fast boat jetty in the Padang Bai harbour and is a lovely restaurant set around a pool.
Have you eaten at Padang Bai restaurant The Colonial and like to say something about it? Leave your comment and rate The Colonial restaurant in Padang Bai at the bottom of this page.
I dropped in there recently having just gotten off the boat from Gili Air and had a nice lunch.
Padang Bai restaurant The Colonial is a Padi dive centre and has accommodation there, and there was construction going on so it seems like a serious expansion into more of a hotel complex is happening.
There is a central pool which keeps the place cool, an din which the diver training occurs.
Scroll the bottom of this page for more photos of Padang Bai restaurant The Colonial.
I had the burrito which was very tasty but also small, more of a snack than a meal. Which was actually what I wanted prior to getting on my bike and riding back to Denpasar. So I was OK with that.
The prices were OK, with the burrito being 55k and most meals priced between 50-80k. On a later visit I had the spring rolls which were delicious but at 40k a bit overpriced.
I loved the sign about what not to flush down the toilet (kittens and puppies, dreams and hopes etc – see the photo of this) which made me laugh – good Aussie humour.
I rarely linger in Padang Bai as mostly I just pass through on my way to and from the Gili Islands, but The Colonial restaurant in Padang Bai is a nice place to land after the boat ride if you have your own transport and can take your time.
The Colonial in Padang Bai good Bali restaurant and a good Padang Bai dive centre.

The bill? It's flat and felt-like, sporting a gorgeously illustrated silver "S" layering the bottom.
Hey! What's on the back?? A raised, embroidered "JL" logo.
The official New Era sticker? It's right there, resting soundly on top of the flat bill.
All the dependable characteristics of a high quality New Era Hat:

JONESBORO, Ark. (1/12/19) – The Arkansas State men's basketball team suffered its first home loss of the season Saturday afternoon, dropping a 90-85 overtime decision to Troy in Sun Belt Conference action at First National Bank Arena.
The Red Wolves now stand 6-1 at home this year, hold an 8-9 overall record and are .500 in league play with a 2-2 mark. Troy ran its overall record to 9-7 and holds an identical 2-2 SBC record to A-State.
"We didn't play very well on both ends of the floor tonight, but you credit Troy because they came in and played hard," said A-State head coach Mike Balado. "Even without Jordon Varnardo and Alex Hicks down the stretch, Troy did an excellent job of continuing to play. We didn't deserve to win tonight. Our interior defense was not very good early and we let Varnardo get a bunch of points at the beginning."
"We didn't rebound the way we should have and even though we out-rebounded them by six, I thought we should've gotten way more. Up five, we gave up an offensive rebound and they hit a 3-pointer and that was the game. When a team shoots 49 percent against you on your home floor in this league, you're not going to win. Our defense took a step back tonight, so we'll get back to work Monday and go on the road and get better."
Senior guard Ty Cockfield scored 31 points to lead four Arkansas State players scoring in double figures, while senior forward Tristin Walley posted his first career double-double with 14 points and a game-high 10 rebounds. Sophomore guard Marquis Eaton and senior guard Grantham Gillard added 16 and 11 points, respectively.
The Trojans hit 49 percent of their shots, including 3-of-7 in overtime, while the Red Wolves finished with a .424 mark from the field. A-State was able to connect on just 1-of-7 shots in the overtime period that saw it outscored 12-7.
While A-State finished with six more rebounds, 39-33, the two squads both pulled down 23 offensive rebounds and Troy finished with 16 second chance points for one more than the Red Wolves.
In a game that featured 13 ties and 21 lead changes, A-State held a 78-73 advantage with just 1:23 remaining in regulation after Cockfield connected on a shot in the paint. However, Javan Johnson was able to corral an offensive rebound on Troy's next possession and hit a three to pull the visitors within 78-76.
The Red Wolves were called for an offensive foul the next time down the court, giving the Trojans the ball back with 29 seconds to go. With time ticking down, Darian Adams was able to find B.J. Miller slashing to the basket for a layup that tied the game with just two seconds remaining.
Cockfield scored the first overtime basket to put A-State back on top, and the Red Wolves still led 85-84 at the 2:03 mark after Eaton hit a pair of free throws. However, those were the last points A-State would put on the board as it was outscored 6-0 down the stretch.
Troy was able to build an 18-9 lead, its largest of the game, just over five minutes into the contest. The Red Wolves were able to rally, take a 38-35 advantage into the break and eventually build its lead to as much as six points with 10:28 left in the second half.
Both squads had two players foul out, including Salif Boudie and Malik Brevard for the Red Wolves. Disqualified on fouls for the Trojans were Jordon Varnado and Alex Hicks. Troy was led by three players scoring in double figures, including Varnado with 27.
A-State hits the road to Texas for a Thursday night matchup at UT Arlington on ESPN+. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. from Arlington. For the latest on A-State men's basketball, follow the Red Wolves on Twitter @AStateMB, at Facebook.com/AStateMB and on Instagram at 'AStateMB'.

Through nine different movements, this practice gives one the ability to quickly gather energy and clear the meridians of stress and blockages. Taught to the elite Shaolin monks more than 1,000 years ago, Master Wang & his teacher, the highly accomplished Khenpo Munsel Rinpoche, included this practice as part of a strong foundation for Tibetan Qigong because of its long history of effectiveness.
ONE FINGER ZEN STILL FORM – The fingers and toes are like the body's electrical switches. Moving them activates a healthy flow of energy that balances & adjusts the corresponding organ systems. This rare qigong uses gentle movements to clear blockages, improve circulation and balance energy. Standing, sitting and lying down positions are taught.
FACE MASSAGE & PATTING MERIDIANS – While practicing qigong a strong energy field is generated. The energetic massage of the face and head recharges the qi field, promotes youthfulness, relaxes and nourishes one's entire being. Massaging the ears and patting the acupuncture points along the meridians stimulates the internal organs, helps disperse energy blockages, and balances the flow of energy.

Our heart here at Street LIFE Ministries is teaching others to "win souls for God", and this is something that one man from Danville Virginia learned after just one week with us.
"This week I've seen the entire spectrum of socioeconomic here in New York City, and now I can confidently state that I now feel comfortable ministering to all of them, thanks to Street LIFE Ministries. I've seen God touch the poor and those who are well off, and this applies to their spiritual and economic situation. I feel changed. I've stepped out of my comfort zone and learned that I can adapt."

II. Jazz Beginner Routines
Sight Reading & Coordination Exercises
Jazz Chords
I recommend you to learn all the lessons one by one starting from the top. Work on all the additional exercises too, so all the new information and knowledge has the chance to sink deeper. There are more lessons in your third-month intermediate curriculum, you can check them out too, but those are mainly for jazz beginners (higher intermediate players). However, this is a well-rounded practice routine for an intermediate student. All you have to do is stick to the plan and practice every day, even if you feel that you should practice more things. If you think that it is going to be too difficult to follow through this program, you can send me your progress every week. I will give you feedback and help you to keep on track.
In order to give you good advice and guidance, I would need the following information from you:
- Your name, age, and main motivation.
- A link where I can see or hear you playing any of my exercises from this practice plan. (Unlisted youtube link, mp3 file, etc.) Play the entire exercise from the beginning to the end with a steady beat and let me know how long time did it take you to complete the lesson. If the recording is about improvisation, please improvise at least for 1 minute (with a steady beat).
- How much time do you have for practice?
- Are you working on the additional exercises too?
- What lessons have you already completed or are still working on?
- What is your next short-term goal? Is it ok if I tell you that you should change that goal?:) Most of the time you think that your problem will be solved if you learn more about theory, scales, and licks, but then I come and tell you that all you have to do first is to keep the rhythm.

Although I appreciate that the notion has allegedly been overturned, I still find myself reeling from an article last week in my "favourite" of all of the nationals regarding the demise of the receptionist, only to be replaced by call centres. While I am totally in favour of moving forward and trying new approaches, this one is absolutely laughable and it just goes to show what little those calling the shots know about healthcare in this country.
Dr Laurence Buckman, Chairman of the BMA's GPs' Committee, made a cracking comment suggesting that "every five minutes, someone, somewhere is coming up with a great idea. This isn't going to be one of them." I would almost guarantee that the initiator of this suggestion was young, middle-class and just out of university. And while I appreciate that statement may be unjust, I cannot see anyone who is worldly-wise coming up with such a thought.
I looked up the reference to the article on Google to remind myself of the wording – as I had only scan-read the article when it was presented to me by one of our receptionists obviously concerned for her job! There were 577 comments in response to the article. In fact the paper is no longer accepting comments and, as far as I can see, most people are in support of their GP receptionist and are dreading the consequence of speaking to a call centre in India.
I am not sure that an automated machine or a person sitting half a world away is the best approach for managing our ageing population; it seems the only people that will benefit from such proposals will be the telephone service providers – but hey, what's new? Thank goodness we have a royal wedding to look forward to!
A time to dance?
At the time of writing I am also looking forward to our practice Christmas party, which is guaranteed to be a night of raucous merriment where everyone lets their hair down – except for me of course. I am still sulking from last year's party, when I tripped over while strutting my stuff on the dance floor. I have pledged to drive this year and then I cannot be accused of having one too many, but only of being senile and decrepit or, even worse, a dreadful dancer.
With times being a little hard this year, we asked some of our staff if they would prefer a gift instead of the usual shindig. One of the comments was: "I get to see you fall over, the deputy bladdered and the younger docs doing their old-school group dancing – I wouldn't miss it for the world." Hmm, perhaps I am beginning to see the advantage of a call centre in India …
With regard to festivities, may I offer belated congratulations to the winners of this year's MiP Awards, presented at the MiP Birmingham Event in October. This celebrated not only a fabulous achievement by all of the winners but a great effort by all who entered the competition. I was involved in judging one of the areas, so I know how difficult it was to choose from some great entries.
Finally, I wanted to take this opportunity of wishing Stuart Gidden, Management in Practice's Editor, all the best. Stuart has to undergo a stay in hospital very soon followed by a period of recovery at home. His efforts behind the scenes are what has made Management in Practice the success that it has become, and I wish him well and look forward to seeing him back in the driving seat sometime in the new year.

Chico Mann & Captain Planet
Night Visions
Genre: Freestyle / Nu Jazz / Funk / Afro
- LP €11.99 Nice Price Out of Stock
Night Visions highlights the creative symbiosis of two of the biggest names in contemporary alternative Latin sounds. The result is a truly unique album that speaks as much to listeners who don't understand Spanish as it does to old abuelos. The feelings and rhythms that flow through these songs are universal, appealing to hearts and hips all around the world.
Chico Mann has created a musical time machine that simultaneously fuses the sounds of 1970s Afrobeat, 1980s Freestyle and Afro Cuban in a hybrid beast of culture and tone. Its the big 'what if' Freestyle, Afrobeat & Afro Cuban converged and hit the mainstream for an army of Chicos to pick up where Stevie B, TKA, George Lamond, Sa-Fire, Information Society, Noel, and Cult Jam, and Expose left off. Chico's choruses of multi-layered vocals with funky guitar lines helps to cool off the heat created between the bass and rhythm... creating a unique conversation of color and value that pays homage to the past but raises the bar for the future.
Captain Planet is a world travelling DJ & music producer who blends global roots music styles with forward-thinking hip-hop, dancehall and electronic beats. After cutting his teeth in the competitive New York City club scene, he went on to host a popular radio show on WNYU Radio, and started the globally renowned music blog www.MixtapeRiot.com. He has released 3 full-length albums featuring his trademark Gumbo Funk sound on Bastard Jazz Recordings, and can be heard on the soundtracks to multiple popular TV shows such as Orange Is The New Black, Entourage and CSI:NY to name a few. In 2016, his song Un Poquito Mas featuring Chico Mann was featured in a major Honda ad campaign and passed a million plays on Spotify. The success of that song, in conjunction with Chico Mann relocating to Los Angeles, encouraged the two artists to focus on a full collaboration album together.

Heber Down Conservation Area -- April 21st, 2011
Another visit to Heber Down. It's been a strange Spring with the weather and cooler than most of us would like it to be. The Spring Ephemerals are slowly emerging, but only slowly.
The Wild Leeks are doing well.
They're taking over the forest floor. This is one of the larger patches. You get a whiff of onion now & then as you're walking.
The Trout Lilies are coming along too-- so named because the mottled leaves look like Brook Trout. They should soon be showing their yellow blossoms. Despite the fact that there are 1000s of them in the woods, only a small number of them will bloom. Apparently the plants have to be a few years old before they flower.
Brook Trout
I think they're beautiful even at this stage. The leaves are a gorgeous green with a hairline burgundy stripe around the leaf edges.
This one is further along...
An unusual fungus in a tree cavity...
Blue Cohosh (though it's more purple) is another spring ephemeral that pokes through the leaves at this time of year. It always stands out from all the green leafed ones.
Soon the leaves will unfurl, the buds will open and the tiny yellow flower will make itself known. The ephemerals are all low-growing so they're a real challenge for me with my aging back.
We came across this tree on the way back to the car. I've never seen anything like it. It looks like there were a couple of small explosions inside the trunk. Weird.

This sophomore at Verrado High in Buckeye, Arizona, is currently the FC social media manager, and will be president next year!
Tell us a bit about yourself: Fashion and music are things I have loved since I was little. I love performing and writing music, and wearing something to express myself while doing that. I love creating things—music and clothes. I have always felt like I need to choose one or the other for my life plan, but one day I hope to incorporate music into fashion so I can do the both of the things I love most.
Tell us about your Fashion Club: Seriously the coolest thing ever. We are all so different and unique, and come together for something we all love. We planned a fashion show and had only two practices, but it was perfect! Our club made over $700, and got amazing feedback. Currently we are working on a magazine this week called "The Mix," and so far have sold 80 copies. Each page is completely different showcasing everyone's aesthetic and style. It looks amazing.
I love creating things—music and clothes.
What are your next year plans for Fashion Club? Definitely a fashion show, and more than one. I'm hoping to have one in fall and spring. For sure another magazine! I think a YouTube channel would be a super fun project, considering we have people who are great with a camera in our club.
What is one of your proudest accomplishments? Being able to handle school, cross country, track, student government, Fashion Club, and music at the same time.
What particular item in your wardrobe is your favorite right now? My flared high waisted jeans from H&M's new spring collection! They are like '70s queen pants.
What are your career goals? To be a musician wearing her own designs.

As you know, President Obama is having an uphill struggle to get a Social Security system implanted in the US. We Europeans should be grateful for what we have, with all its faults. This is worth watching, we feel – and it has a very funny bit at the beginning. It's only a couple of minutes long, anyway.(Thanks NuttyProf -really!- for sending it in, though we're not sure what political agenda you might have… We have none at JimenaPulse, of course, though we did back Obama for President, for what that may have been worth.)

In the Wallach Gallery exhibition of Anna Hyatt Huntington's sculpture (1876-1973), the viewer gets to discover different versions of the emblematic figure that is Joan of Arc, from small bronze medals, to much bigger works of art. A digital replication of the initial statue that was unveiled at Riverside Drive and 93rd Street in December 1915 is also available the public in the gallery. The success of the Joan of Arc – or The Maid of Orleans's depictions results from the symbol that she fosters in European and American culture: a French medieval patriotic heroine who received visions directly from God and who was told to help France combat the English domination and who died burned at the stake, as a martyr.She indeed survives through the manifold representations that have been made of this historic and popular figure. It is arguable that those layers of representations equate to 'copies' of Joan of Arc herself : copies of a lost original, recreated every time it is represented by a different artist, or narrator. And now, we have a copy of a 1915 representation of Joan of Arc – or, might one say, a copy of a copy of Joan of Arc.
But what is the real value of a copy? Is the statue on Riverside Drive worth more than the other representations that are exhibited in the Wallach Gallery? What brings the rotational photography to the initial work of art? Is something lost with the evolution of reproductive imagery, like the emotion of the instant, the spontaneity of the artist's hand – the 'aura' of the original (as Walter Benjamin called it)?

I painted this picture a few weeks ago using my watercolour inks. I was pleased with the painting once it was dry but I'm really pleased with how it looks in a frame.
I think I'm going to try this more often with my paintings, I think it makes a difference to try them in a frame.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained 🙂
Happy crafting!

Better Homes CEO Ryan Mahoney has admitted that the company ran false information in its online Dubai property advertisements, including descriptions of non-existent shopping malls and claims the Dubai Metro ran through the Palm Jumeirah.
But Mahoney - speaking this morning on Dubai Eye's Business Breakfast show - blamed human error, and made no apologies for the fictional adverts.
"We screwed up, we should know better," Mahoney told the programme, adding: "There wasn't anything malicious, it was a human error and system error. There is a big difference between malicious intent and human error. It's hard to get it right every single time."
On Tuesday an Arabian Business investigation revealed how the company's website had published false claims regarding properties on the Palm Jumeirah.
One advertisement, for the property on the Palm's Oceana development, claims the property "is also within walking distance of the Village Centre shopping mall via a pleasant and safe underground walkway." In fact, the Village Centre project was halted five years ago, and has remained a large hole in the ground. No underground walkway exists. Nakheel announced late last year that it is looking to restart the project in 2013.
Another advertisement, also for the Oceana development, claims "residents may also access the Palm Jumeirah's 60,000 sqm luxury retail complexes via a bright pedestrian underpass." Again, no such complex or underpass exists.
An advertisement for the Tiara development says the Palm Jumeirah contains "the exclusive Palm Anantara Hotel & Spa". In fact, the only currently open Anantara Hotel & Spa in the region is located nearly 200km away in Abu Dhabi.
A fourth Better Homes advertisement, for a property on the Golden Mile, says "the metro now runs along the Palm making access to the facility easier." In fact, the Dubai Metro has never been part of the Palm Jumeirah, the closest station being around 3km away. The existing Palm Monorail is not accessible from outside the development.
However, Mahoney appeared to lay the blame squarely on his agents, saying: "We have 50 different nationalities in our company, and listings are agent led."
He added: "It's more for the agent and manger to be sure a shopping mall is there."For all the latest real estate news from the UAE and Gulf countries, follow us on Twitter and Linkedin, like us on Facebook and subscribe to our YouTube page, which is updated daily.

Gifts Under $50
Since we are all now poor from Black Friday and Cyber week, I'm gonna encourage you to SHOP MORE. I'm thoughtful that way.
But I did really try to be helpful by throwing out some UNDER $50 gifts. And because they are under $50 they are free.
(Not actually. Don't try to tell people this, unless they are people who understand Sherri Math. You'll get major side eye. Especially if you say it to your husband.)
P.S. If somehow you made it through all the cyber week deals and still have money to spend, then A) will you adopt me? and B) shop my other gift guides under the tab at the top of this page.
Until next time,

Infiltrating the Public Sphere
"Oh no, not another racist tweet!"
"Are you kidding me? Another blackface party?"
Unfortunately, these phrases are often uttered by myself as the world of social media disseminates various instances of racism, prejudice or discrimination of someone who mistakenly thinks their words are protected from the public. No private profile is legitimately private and anyone has the ability to copy and paste a status or repost a video even after its subsequent deletion. You'd think that after major events, such as the University of Oklahoma SAE racist chant video and many other racy posts before them, that people would begin to get the memo right? Wrong. People who find themselves in the hot seat after situations like the one mentioned above have a very similar misconception that their posts are hidden from the "wrong people" and that those who do come across their video will push it under the rug.
Take Erika Escalante as an example. This college student posted a tweet of her and a friend picking cotton with the caption "Our inner nigger came out today." Shortly afterward, her post was seen, shared and later forwarded to her boss who immediately fired her. Escalante's next course of action included deleting her social media pages and appearing on local news stations explaining herself.
During the news interview, Escalante said she wasn't thinking and that she doesn't consider herself a racist. She just had an idea of a post that seemed funny or entertaining at the time and went with it without considering the consequences. But where is the line drawn between funny and offensive and why is this line crossed on what seems like a regular basis? I believe it goes back to a person's everyday surroundings.
Escalante could have a friend circle in which she can comfortably say the word "nigger" and no one flinch or approach her about its negative connotation against an entire race. Therefore, when she posts a tweet like the one she did, it's almost as ordinary or commonplace as tweeting about what she had for dinner. However, what Escalante failed to consider is indeed how her post effected the people outside of her friend group. The people who don't find posts like hers amusing and instead, rather offensive and distasteful. These people are the "outsiders" if you will, or the people outside of her own private sphere who aren't as inclined to defend her or keep her post under wraps. The ones who can make "private posts" public and even viral, cause a stir of emotions and backlash to the poster who "just wasn't thinking." As a result of instances like this, tensions often rise and the discussion of race that so many people don't believe needs to be had rears its head again to the forefront. Coincidence?
All in all, people do make mistakes. It's a part of life. However, it shouldn't be taken lightly when the same mistakes are being made over and over again.

Maud R. McBride, a long time Brookfield and Sharpsville resident died August 2, 2018 in St Augustine, FL where she moved in 2013 to live with her son Stephen and his wife Mary Ellen.
Mrs. McBride was born May 30, 1926 in Holidays Cove (now a neighborhood of Weirton), WV, a daughter of Joseph A. Kelly and Maud R. (Trewren) Hughes.
She graduated high school in Hopedale, OH in 1944 and entered Sharon General School of Nursing under the United States Cadet Nurse Corps program. Its purpose was to ensure the country had enough nurses to care for its citizens at home and abroad during and after World War II. After graduation she completed her service at Sharon General Hospital where she continued to work for many years, rising to supervisory positions. After taking time off to raise a family, Maud was selected as the Brookfield School System Nurse in 1970. She continued in this position that she truly loved, until she retired in 1989.
She and her husband, Richard, traveled frequently with a travel trailer and later a motor home visiting many US Parks and sites. Maud was an avid reader, enjoyed bridge, but more than anything, she was a care giver. Besides raising six children, she cared for ailing parents, gave comfort to neighbors, and assisted in the community wherever her special gifts could be best used.
Maud was an active member of Brookfield United Methodist Church prior to her move to Florida. She had a key role in the success of many church spaghetti dinners and rummage sales.
Surviving are her children, John D. McBride, Venice, FL; Stephen A. McBride and his wife Mary Ellen Davidson, St Augustine, FL; Linda J. Davis and her husband Michael Pfiffer, Denver, CO; Robert W. McBride and his wife Eugenia "Genie", St Augustine, FL; and Beth Ann Badger and her husband, Scott, Exira, IA; her sister, Martha Ayres, Hermitage, PA; a brother, John G. Hughes and his wife Maxine, Mercer, PA; nine grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; and many beloved nieces and nephews.
Mrs. McBride was preceded in death by her husband of 54 years, James Richard McBride; a son, Kevin R. McBride; and two brothers, Joseph A. Kelly and David T. Kelly.
Friends may pay their respects on Wednesday evening from 4:30-7:00PM at the Sample-O'Donnell Funeral Home 555 E. State Street Sharon, PA 16146.
A funeral service will be held at noon on Thursday at the Brookfield United Methodist Church, located at 6951 Grove Street, Brookfield, Ohio 44403.
Burial will follow at Brookfield Township Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Maud's honor to the Brookfield United Methodist Church or the American Cancer Society.
Friends and family may visit www.sampleodonnellfh.com to view this obituary and send condolences to the McBride family.

Surprisingly, the beautiful celebrities we see on the cover of magazines and on television commercials may not have always looked the way they do now.
Celebrities have the pressure of looking "perfect" pretty much 24/7. A lot of times hollywood's finest need a little help. Many times a subtle yet impactful cosmetic procedure like getting Veneers is the perfect solution and can do the trick without being so obvious.
Veneers are an excellent way to redesign and reshape your entire mouth no matter what age you are. Veneers are a very thin, durable, tooth shaped porcelain facings that are custom made to create a beautiful and attractive smile.
What Types of Problems Do Dental Veneers Fix?
Veneers are routinely used to fix:
- Teeth that are discolored — either because of root canal treatment; stains from tetracycline or other drugs, excessive fluoride or other causes; or the presence of large resin fillings that have discolored the tooth
- Teeth that are worn down
- Teeth that are chipped or broken
- Teeth that are misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped (for example, have craters or bulges in them)
- Teeth with gaps between them (to close the space between these teeth)
- In some cases veneers are sometimes used as an alternative from having to wear braces.
But veneers are not just a cosmetic fix, they also can be key to maintaining a healthy mouth.
Crooked teeth, in addition to being unattractive, also can increase the chances of cavities and gum disease by creating pockets in the mouth where food can get trapped. Also, a misaligned bite can be responsible for everything from painful TMJ to eventual tooth and bone loss.
Getting a dental veneer(s) may require more than one visit. Dr. Glasscock will examine your teeth to make sure dental veneers are appropriate for you, and he will discuss what the treatment will involve. Some patients will be able to have the veneers made the same day with the Cerec technology.

July - Chianti Wine
Working Out with Wine and Chocolate
Is it true that working out with wine and chocolate does a body good or is it another trend? You be the judge.
Wine and chocolate go hand in hand. Savoring, sipping and ingesting the pair are virtually a workout within itself. One hand must delicately grasp the wine glass, while the other hand docilely balances the chocolate between the index and thumb.
Wine and Chocolate Lift-Savors
- Lift, 1-2-3
- Hold
- Nibble
- Sip, savor and swish around the palette
- Allow to linger on the tongue for a count of 7-10 seconds
- And repeat (3-sets with 4-5 repetitions)
At the same token, these actions should be made in slow deliberate movements. The concept entails allowing each morsel of chocolate (Godiva, Lindt or whatever you prefer) to slowly dissolve on the tongue so that when the fusion of wine and chocolate come head-to-head, the culmination induces sheer ecstasy for the palette.
Verisimilar to yoga where each movement is held for moments, the art of this regimen requires focus, stamina and the willpower to enable the wine to co-mingle with the chocolate.
Although this fitness program has not been endorsed by the American Medical Association, the National Health Council nor the World Health Organization, there seems to be a myriad of benefits to exercising with wine and chocolate. Let's explore the health benefits:
Incentives for Working Out with Dark Chocolate and Red Wine
- Red wine contains antioxidant polyphenols (compounds of grape derivative of tannins and anthocyanin pigments)
- Dark chocolate (65% cocoa has antioxidants referred to as flavanols
- A glass of red wine is suggested as heart-friendly
- Dark chocolate is deemed as a mood enhancer
- Holding a wine glass in one hand can burn up to a single calorie per minute
To avert work out burn out, the fitness program should be done in moderation with your physician's approval (of course). Nevertheless, everyone should exercise his or her right to work out with chocolate and red wine. To learn more exercise recommendations on chocolate and wine, visit www.TheConsumerJournal.com.

The Web's wine buzz: Montepulciano bargains and Chianti

Some great minds appear to be thinking alike in the wine world — and what they're thinking is Italian.
Tue, 05 Feb 2008 00:48:10 PST
Not all the wine produced in Chianti is Chianti Classico. Provenance from a determined territory is not sufficient to permit use of an appellation. The producer must respect all the rules stipulated in the production code. The first version of the DOCG production code for Chianti and Chianti Classico dates back to 1984, when Chianti Classico was st

Among other comparisons, Sedrick Ellis is like a Vino Nobile from Montepulciano, Tuscany, and Glenn Dorsey is a Nero D'Avola. Chris Long? How about a Chianti Classico because this wine is an Italian Red in its purest form - 100 % Sangiovese.

Though the entire time I was like. What am I watching??!?
"Mexican Masked Wrestling + Burlesque + Comedy = Lucha VaVOOM It's good vs. evil, Lucha Libre exhibition-style matches."
This happens only thrice a year at The Mayan Theatre - a giant venue in downtown and I was lucky enough to finally catch it. It was sold out with 2,000 spectators.
I always wondered why people were so interested in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and the fact is... it's entertaining. But Lucha VaVoom throws in crazier costumes, little people and tittie tassels. So many tassels. I was also lucky enough to enjoy some homoerotic-ness. It's only fair with every boobie was a man ass.
It was bromance to another level as two of the muscular wrestlers simulated 69, and kissed each other on the lips when the "won" the match. There was also a pat on the ass to show sportsmanship... except the ass was exposed because his speedos were pulled down and it wasn't a pat but a long awkward grab.
The show also started off with a pony pogo stick striptease which blew my mind. The cowboy had like 5 thongs that he kept pulling off.
|Caught one of the wrestlers during break
a sun goddess, then stripped to expose his man chest and leather fetish all while spinning a hoop 'round his body. BOO YAH. It was mesmerizing.
This midget in a chicken costume jumped off a giant speaker into the audience right into the arms of security. OMG.
I had pretty good seats the whole night. At first I was right against the ring in the back, but decided to move because all I could see was ass.
Moved to the front and got real close and personal with the entertainers. I would come back fo sho'
Huffington Post described it as an unhinged circus with an increasingly rowdy crowd watching rudos (the "bad guy" wrestlers) take on the tecnicos (the "good" guys).
"Equal parts comedic jest and brilliantly choreographed feats of costumed athleticism." Well said.
