Here's a look at 90 of them.
We're just three months into the new year, and lawmakers—a handful of whom are pictured above—have already proposed 168 anti-abortion bills at the state and federal levels.
Why does this matter? More than four decades ago, Roe v. Wade affirmed a person's constitutional right to privacy, effectively legalizing abortion nationwide. But lawmakers have continued proposing and passing bills that make abortion—a medical procedure—harder to access.
Yet these anti-abortion legislators persist—in spite of research that shows that countries with the strictest anti-abortion laws actually have some of the highest rates of abortions in the world, and that there's a correlation between defunding Planned Parenthood and an increase in maternal mortality rate. Overwhelming evidence indicates that smarter, more humane ways to actually lower the abortion rate involve improving healthcare and healthcare access—such as by making contraception and family planning services more available, not less. But in our country, (overwhelmingly male) politicians continue proposing and passing laws that impede access to safe and constitutionally protected medical care.
Here are 90 of the 168 anti-abortion bills that have been proposed so far in 2017.
There's a bill that says patients have to receive permission to have an abortion from the person who impregnated them.
- Oklahoma House Bill 1441, proposed by Justin Humphrey
Oklahoma Representative Justin Humphrey introduced a bill that would prevent people from having abortions until they've received official permission to do so from the people who impregnated them.
"I believe one of the breakdowns in our society is that we have excluded the man out of all of these types of decisions," Humprey said, explaining his bill. "I understand that [women] feel like that is their body. I feel like it is a separate—what I call them is, is you're a 'host.' And you know when you enter into a relationship you're going to be that host and so, you know, if you pre-know that, then take all precautions and don't get pregnant. So that's where I'm at. I'm like, hey, your body is your body and be responsible with it. But after you're irresponsible then don't claim, well, I can just go and do this with another body, when you're the host and you invited that in."
There's a bill that requires medical providers to interfere with an abortion if the fetus shows any signs of life.
- Arizona Senate Bill 1367, proposed by Steve Smith
The Arizona Senate has passed a bill that requires medical professionals to try to resuscitate aborted embryos and fetuses if they show any signs of life—whether the embryo or fetus is viable or not. Right now, doctors only perform these measures on a case-by-case basis when the chance of survival is high. One doctor told CBS that attempting medical interventions at early stages in gestational development is "cruel" to the parents and would inflict unnecessary harm on a fetus or embryo that likely wouldn't survive anyway.
There are eight bills that force medical providers to bury or cremate fetal remains—or otherwise specify how medical providers should dispose of fetal remains.
- Arkansas House Bill 1566, proposed by Kim Hammer
- Missouri House Bill 147, proposed by Tom Hurst
- Missouri House Bill 194, proposed by Diane Franklin
- Mississippi Senate Bill 2486, proposed by Michael Watson
- Ohio Senate Bill 28, proposed by Tom Patton
- Texas House Bill 2348, proposed by Valoree Swanson
- Texas Senate Bill 406, proposed by Bob Hall
- Washington House Bill 1243, proposed by Brad Klippert
Doctors already have established protocols for how they sanitarily dispose of medical waste. But these eight bills would require them to treat fetal tissue differently. "Many doctors and medical organizations have said that [these laws] do nothing for any public health purpose," David Brown, senior staff attorney at the Center for Reproductive Rights, previously told SELF. "It's a way of putting additional pressure on clinics in the hopes that some won't be able to withstand the pressure and close. It's one more potential obstacle to them having to keep their doors open."
There are five bills that allow patients to sue their abortion providers, even decades later.
- Florida House Bill 19, proposed by Larry Ahern
- Florida Senate Bill 1140, proposed by Kelli Stargel
- Iowa Senate File 26, proposed by Mark Chelgren
- Minnesota House File 601, proposed by Kathy Lohmer
- Tennessee House Bill 663, proposed by Matthew Hill
These bills would allow patients to sue their abortion providers for emotional distress—even years after receiving the procedure. And while some, like Iowa Senator Mark Chelgren, see bills like these as a way to protect people seeking abortions, legal experts say the consequences could be severe. "When you look at it more carefully, it's a threat to the woman because it creates deterrents for doctors to do this," Mark Kende, J.D., director of the Constitutional Law Center at Drake University, told the Associated Press. In other words, the threat of being sued retroactively could scare doctors out of providing abortions at all—which ultimately hurts people who are seeking them.
There are seven bills that ban abortion entirely.
- Colorado House Bill 1108, proposed by Stephen Humphrey
- Kentucky House Bill 419, proposed by Mary Marzian
- Mississippi House Bill 1197, proposed by Dan Eubanks
- Oklahoma Senate Bill 732, proposed by David Brumbaugh
- Oklahoma Senate Bill 817, proposed by Joseph Silk
- Texas House Bill 948, proposed by Tony Tinderholt
- Texas House Bill 1049, proposed by Valoree Swanson
Some of these bills recognize life as beginning at conception, and view abortions at any state of gestational development as murder. Others seek to criminalize medical providers who perform abortions. All seven view abortion as unlawful in some form or fashion, and all would ban the procedure entirely (with select exceptions, depending on the bill).
There are 10 misleadingly named "Heartbeat Bills" that ban abortions after fetal cardiac activity is detectable—usually around the six-week mark.
- Federal House Resolution 490, proposed by Steve King
- Alabama House Bill 154, proposed by Terri Collins
- Missouri Senate Bill 408, proposed by Andrew Koenig
- Mississippi House Bill 1198, proposed by Chris Brown
- Mississippi Senate Bill 2562, proposed by Angela Burks Hill
- Mississippi Senate Bill 2584, proposed by Michael Watson
- New York Assembly Bill 5384, proposed by Brian Kolb
- Oklahoma Senate Bill 710, proposed by Paul Scott
- Tennessee House Bill 108, proposed by James Van Huss
- Tennessee Senate Bill 244, proposed by Mae Beavers
So-called "Heartbeat Bills" ban abortions from the moment fetal cardiac activity is detectable. This typically happens around the five- or -week mark—before many people even realize they're pregnant. (Learn more about what it means to be six weeks pregnant here.) Nine of these bills have been introduced at the state level, but Iowa congressman Steve King proposed the first federal six-week abortion ban: the "Heartbeat Protection Act of 2017."
Other states, like North Dakota and Arkansas, have attempted to pass similar bills in the past—but their efforts were blocked in higher courts for being unconstitutional.
There are 18 bills that ban abortions after 20 weeks, based on the unsubstantiated claim that fetuses can feel pain at this point.
- Florida House Bill 203, proposed by Joe Gruters
- Florida Senate Bill 348, proposed by Greg Steube
- Illinois House Bill 3210, proposed by Jerry Costello
- Iowa House File 298, proposed by Dave Heaton
- Iowa Senate File 53, proposed by Brad Zaun
- Kentucky Senate Bill 5, proposed by Brandon Smith
- Massachusetts House Bill 934, proposed by Elizabeth Poirier
- Maryland House Bill 547, proposed by Barrie Ciliberti
- Missouri House Bill 692, proposed by Tila Hubrecht
- Missouri House Bill 757, proposed by Phil Christofanelli
- Montana Senate Bill 329, proposed by Keith Regier
- New Jersey Assembly Bill 3452, proposed by Ronald Dancer
- New Jersey Senate Bill 2026, proposed by Steven Oroho
- New York Assembly Bill 4777, proposed by David DiPietro
- Oregon House Bill 3017, proposed by Sherrie Sprenger
- Pennsylvania Senate Bill 3, proposed by Mike Folmer
- Virginia House Bill 963, proposed by Dave LaRock
- Virginia House Bill 1473, proposed by Dave LaRock
Twenty-week abortion bans are based on the idea that fetuses can feel pain at this stage in development—despite there being no medical evidence to support that reasoning. These bills are similar to laws already in place in 16 states and to two that were blocked for being unconstitutional.
Worth mentioning: Almost 99 percent of abortions occur before the 20-week mark, according to Planned Parenthood. Often, people who seek late-term abortions do so because they've discovered serious fetal anomalies that weren't apparent earlier. "These are often desperately desired pregnancies that have gone wrong," Lauren Streicher, M.D., an associate professor of clinical obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, previously told SELF.
There are 12 bills that ban abortions through dilation and evacuation, the safest and most common way for a woman in her second trimester to have an abortion.
- Arkansas House Bill 1032, proposed by Andy Mayberry
- Illinois House Bill 2891, proposed by Brandon Phelps
- Maryland House Bill 1167, proposed by William Wivell
- Maryland Senate Bill 841, proposed by Justin Ready
- Missouri House Bill 537, proposed by Tila Hubrecht
- New Jersey Assembly Bill 1700, proposed by Ronald Dancer
- Pennsylvania House Bill 77, proposed by Kathy Rapp
- Rhode Island House Bill 5100, proposed by Arthur Corvese
- South Carolina House Bill 3548, proposed by Sean Bennett
- South Dakota House Bill 1189, proposed by Isaac Latterell
- Texas House Bill 844, proposed by Stephanie Klick
- Texas Senate Bill 415, proposed by Charles Perry
Dilation and evacuation abortions—or D&E abortions—involve two steps. First, a woman's cervix is dilated. Second, a doctor surgically removes the contents of the patient's uterus. The American Medical Association recognizes this as the safest way a woman can terminate a pregnancy beyond the 14-week gestational mark. It's also the most common way for people in their second trimesters to end pregnancies, as D&E is used in 95 percent of second-trimester abortions.
There are 12 bills that require patients to be offered ultrasounds, have ultrasounds, or listen to sonograms before they can have the abortions they're seeking.
- Alabama House Bill 131, proposed by Kerry Rick
- Connecticut Senate Bill 330, proposed by Michael McLachlan
- Illinois House Bill 283, proposed by Barbara Wheeler
- Indiana Senate Bill 118, proposed by Dennis Kruse
- Kentucky House Bill 2, proposed by Jeff Hoover
- Massachusetts House Bill 936, proposed by Elizabeth Poirier
- Missouri House Bill 404, proposed by Tila Hubrecht
- New Jersey Assembly Bill 689, proposed by John DiMaio
- New Jersey Senate Bill 476, proposed by Steven Oroho
- New York Assembly Bill 5374, proposed by David DiPietro
- New York Assembly Bill 5637, proposed by Brian Curran
- Wyoming House Bill 182, proposed by Chuck Gray
Ten different states have introduced bills that would require patients to jump a series of hoops before they can have the abortions they're seeking. (Both New Jersey and New York have introduced two.) Some of these bills require people to have ultrasounds, and others require them to listen to sonogram results. Some just require medical providers to offer to perform ultrasounds on people seeking abortions. If passed, all of them would force people to take additional steps to have the abortions they want or need.
There are 16 other bills that make patients undergo counseling or wait a certain period of time before they're allowed to have abortions.
- Colorado House Bill 1086, proposed by Justin Everett
- Georgia Senate Bill 239, proposed by Bruce Thompson
- Indiana House Bill 1128, proposed by Ronald Bacon
- Kansas House Bill 2319, proposed by Tony Arnberger
- Kansas Senate Bill 98, proposed by Molly Baumgardner
- Missouri House Bill 382, proposed by Sonya Anderson
- Missouri Senate Bill 230, proposed by Jeanie Riddle
- North Carolina House Bill 62, proposed by Larry Pittman
- Nebraska Legislative Bill 59, proposed by Bill Kintner
- South Dakota Senate Bill 102, proposed by Thomas Nelson
- Texas House Bill 612, proposed by Jeff Leach
- Texas House Bill 1971, proposed by Matt Schaefer
- Texas Senate Bill 258, proposed by Donald Huffines
- Utah House Bill 107, proposed by Stephen Handy
- Utah House Bill 141, Keven Stratton
- Virginia House Bill 1762, Robert Marshall
State legislators have also introduced bills that would require patients to undergo specific kinds of counseling or wait a certain period of time before they can actually have the abortions they're seeking. Sometimes, these bills result in people having to make more than one appointment, which can be especially difficult for people who live in rural areas and have to drive long distances to get to a medical provider in the first place.

< 'Bones' Season 12,...
Moving into The Originals season 4 episode 3, what it looks like we're going to end up seeing is a little more information regarding the story of the season. Namely, we're talking a little bit the arc of Hope Mikaelson. Klaus and Hayley's daughter is a much more active part of the show than she once was, and in between the dreams and the drawings, it's clear that we are going to see the ouroboros in some form or another for a while.
Aside from the mythology of that, there are also some key personal moments coming up on the show. How else would you describe a story that allows Klaus to spend some time with his daughter for the first time in years? We figure that it will be wonderful and emotional … but also potentially brief, given that this is not a universe that allots a whole lot of time for happiness. Instead, it far more often puts people in a position where they are surrounded by a near-constant stream of chaos.
Take a look at the synopsis below for a little bit more insight into what's ahead.
The Originals season 4 episode 3 synopsis –
"After five long years apart, Klaus attempts to reconnect with his daughter, Hope (Summer Fontana). Even as father and daughter bond, the rest of the family is still in turmoil. Elijah (Daniel Gillies) mediates a conflict between Hayley and Freya (Riley Voelkel) to determine the best way to protect the family. Meanwhile, in New Orleans, Vincent (Yusef Gatewood) tells Marcel (Charles Michael Davis) terrible secrets about his ex -wife, Eva Sinclair, even as they begin their search for a mysterious witch who plans to sacrifice a group of innocent children – including Hope Mikaelson."
It's a little hard to know what to make of some of the other stories that are coming at present, other than saying that the idea of Elijah as a mediator should be interesting. He's got the temperament for it, but we know both Hayley and Freya at present to be rather fiery when it comes to their personalities.
Promo – The search for the missing children will pick up steam, and Klaus isn't going to let anyone hurt his little girl. Angry Klaus is back!

[the first]
In two years since I started working at the Chamber, today was the first time when I really did not want to work. Yes, I stayed at home because I was sick, but usually I longed to go back to the office after a day or two. My friends still consider me nuts for loving what I do so much (mostly, it's WHO I work with that makes the difference, but I also love to do what I do).
Today, as i checked my work e-mail from home and chatted with a couple of colleagues, I realized that I am in a way dreading going back tomorrow.
I am torn.
On one hand, I really want to dive back into work.
On the other hand, considering all the IT problems that we've been having lately (and the ones that I cannot fix)… I cannot even work efficiently. Last week was basically a disaster because I could not send any e-mails to anyone and we even had to cancel an event because we did not notify enough people about it.
UGH. I have tried to be an optimist, but now even I am giving up on the new system that we've got. It sucks. ROYALLY.
Or, I guess I should clarify. The system itself is not bad. It is just unsuitable for us since we're not a sales organization and hence our needs are WAY different than those of the, I dunno, Citibank, for example.
We're all at our wits' end…
Thankfully, God still reminds me that "this too shall pass" and that after we'll sort this problem, we're gonna be smarter and… and I do not know what.
Gosh, I miss my work and team!
Do you like what you do? Did you ever want to give up because there seemed too many problems? What made you reconsider giving up?

Thoreau and Emerson had a discussion in May of 1846 about the Mexican War--our first war in the European sense of the word that set us on the course we still track today. Conquest of nation-states and the inevitable Imperialism that follows. Emerson counseled his friend that we can supersede the transgressions of a well-meaning State by the Muse. Thoreau wasn't so sure that the State was so well-meaning or that the Muse alone would be enough to supersede it. But he tried both the Muse and "other means" to our everlasting benefit. Civil Disobedience, in the American sense, has always been his child, in large part because he raised it to the level of Literature. "Other means" requires the Muse to be lasting and effective, and vice versa. How would anyone know what the hell you were talking about otherwise, let alone emulate what you're trying to do?
The problem with Progressives today, I think, is that we let other people--Rupert Murdoch, the Koch Brothers, Sun Myung Moon--tell our stories, and those other people do not mean us well. We don't plug our "Muse" into our political discourse very much, and that's a big mistake. Mark Twain didn't make that mistake, and he was among the first American Writers to use the new-fangled typewriter. Why do we children of Twain, Emerson and Thoreau make that mistake now with our new-fangled computers?
For all their faults, Murdoch, the Kochs and Moon understand that people are story-based critters, like it or not, and I think we progressives should like it. By definition, people make many important social (read: political) decisions based largely on who's the best storyteller. It's in our nature, and Corporate Media is a classic example of how Nature abhors a vacuum. We've collectively created a cultural 'narrative' vacuum by allowing ourselves to be so easily entertained by—Corporate Media! And Nature hates that. She'll allow the same garbage responsible for the vacuum (Corporate Media!) to be sucked in and to rattle around until it ruins our cognative motors before she'll let that sad state of affairs stand. Consider: Rupert Murdoch (Fox News) is from Australia and lives in China. Sun Myung Moon (The Washington Times, UPI) is from Korea. The Koch Brothers, of course, are from the sheikdom of Texas. All four are so obscenely rich they (apparently) believe they own America because they paid for it, and we collectively let them define who among us are "real Americans"?! C'mon!
Although it helps to strive toward the goal, progressives don't have to be great writers. We simply have to acknowledge that we have the better stories and we're sitting on our best ones. Our truest ones. Rupert Murdoch has better versions of American Liberalism and Progressivism for us than the real ones told by real Americans? Us? We shouldn't put up with that. Why do we?
Like any historic attempt, we need to find our Voice. Significant action will come only after our contemporary political muse matures, which it hasn't yet. And by the way if history's still a guide--and I hope it still is--when that political muse matures it generally becomes the baseline for much of Western Civilization's meaningful and therefore lasting literature.

And by the way if history's still a guide--and I hope it still is--when that political muse matures it generally becomes the baseline for much of Western Civilization's meaningful and therefore lasting literature.
This blog merely represents my call to elevate our critical modern discussions out of Fox-news-landia back to where intelligent Americans can find their feet and fight back, either with the Muse, by other means, or both. It's not up to some politician to change the narrative. That's up to us. So by definition we still have as good a chance as we ever had. Don't lose hope. It's always been this way. At least in literate societies.
In other words, like Emerson advised and Thoreau partially agreed with: stories matter, and may the best Muse win.

Previewed 15 May 2015, Opened 21 May 2015, Closed 14 June 2015 at the Regent's Park Open Air Theatre in London
Previewed 17 May 2018, Opened 24 May 2018, Closed 15 June 2018 at the Regent's Park Open Air Theatre in London
A major revival and discovery of J M Barrie's original play Peter Pan in London for a strictly limited season.
The return of Timothy Sheader and Liam Steel's acclaimed 2015 production. Imagination takes flight in this darkly comic tale, yet in an ever changing world, and without a mother's love, what place is there for the boy who wouldn't grow up?
For the wounded soldiers of World War One, imagination is their only escape. Yet as they're transported to the fantastical lagoons and pirate ships of Never Land, allegories of the war they've left behind are ever present. George Llewelyn Davies, later killed in action in 1915, was one of the children who inspired J. M. Barrie to create the iconic character of Peter Pan. Remembering him, and a generation of Lost Boys, in this spellbinding reinvention of Peter Pan.
The 2018 cast featured Sam Angell as 'Peter Pan', Elisa de Grey as 'Tinker Bell', John – Theo Cowan as 'John Darling', Cora Kirk as 'Wendy Darling', Omari Douglas as 'Michael Darling', Dennis Herdman as 'Captain Hook', and Caroline Deyga as 'Smee', with James Anthony-Rose, Raphael Bushay, Fred Davis, Emilio Diaz Abregu, Lewis Griffin, Willy Hudson, Luke Johnson, Arthur Kyeyune, Kyle Lima, Tim Preston, Louis Quaye, John Sandeman, and Rebecca Thorn.
The original 2015 cast featured Hiran Abeysekera as 'Peter Pan', Rachel Donovan as 'Tinker Bell', Patrick Osborne as 'John Darling', Kae Alexander as 'Wendy Darling', Thomas Dennis as 'Michael Darling', David Birrell as 'Captain Hook', and Beverly Rudd as 'Smee', with Rebecca Askew, Jacob James Beswick, George Bukhari, Okorie Chukwu, Eben Figueiredo, Owain Gwynn, Jonathan Holby, Richard James-Neale, Arthur Kyeyune, Chris Lew Kum Hoi, Melanie Pappenheim, Thomas Pickles, Carl Prekopp, and Joe Swain.
Staged by the directors Timothy Sheader and Liam Steel, who rediscover JM Barrie's original stage play, to create a Never Land where danger stalks dreams and adventure breeds mischief. In this staging the play's era has been moved 10 years on from its original setting. Please note this is a production of the original play which runs for just over two hours and so is unlikely to be suitable for younger children (this is not a 'panto' version!). Children under four cannot be admitted to the show.
Directed by Timothy Sheader and Liam Steel with puppetry by Rachael Canning, sets by Jon Bausor, costumes by Jon Morrell, lighting by Rick Fisher, music by Nick Powell and sound by Nick Lidster. This production was originally staged here at London's Open Air Theatre in Regent's Park in 2015 (previewed from 15 May 2015, opened on 21 May 2015 and closed on 14 June 2015).
When this production opened here at the Open Air Theatre in May 2015, Henry Hitchings in the London Evening Standard highlighted how "the story of Peter Pan, so often rendered in a cloyingly saccharine style, is radically re-imagined here," adding that "this physically inventive production by Timothy Sheader and Liam Steel mixes an acute understanding of the darkness of J M Barrie's 1904 play with a majestic sense of spectacle... Jon Bausor's courageously raw design is crucial to this bold interpretation, which revitalises a tale too often treated merely as a pantomime staple." Holly Williams in the Independent wrote how "the familiar story is framed by scenes in a First World War field hospital evoked by a grey and raggedly deconstructed set... it's a nice concept, rather than an particularly fruitful one... but if the historical concepts don't always fly, the production happily does: this has family summer outing written all over it." Sarah Hemming in the Financial Times explained that "young first world war soldiers are the Lost Boys in a heart-rending staging of JM Barrie's story... This superb Peter Pan is far removed from the thigh-slapping pantomime versions. It's sprightly, imaginative and terrific fun, but it is also immensely poignant... a cracker." Neil Norman in the Daily Express described how "the analogue theatricality here is pure stagecraft, from the rigging and sails hauled up to create the pirates' ship to the hospital beds piled up to represent hills and trenches," concluding that "this is a Peter Pan for grown-ups, a resonant, heartfelt and revealing production poised between the magic and the tragic." Patrick Marmion in the Daily Mail wrote "Tim Sheader's haunting new production is set in a military hospital during World War I. The idea is to remember the boys who inspired the role of Peter, but who were killed on the fields of France. Thankfully, it's no less enchanting, as the trip to Neverland becomes an escape from the bleak realities of the Somme." Dominic Maxwell in the Times commented that "the Lost Boys become the lost generation in this bold and often brilliant reinvention of JM Barrie's great creation," adding that in "Timothy Sheader and Liam Steel's fluid, physical production... it's beautifully played and admirably adventurous." Michael Billington in the Guardian said: "I admired the production's ingenuity while feeling it sacrificed the weird magic of Barrie's original... I am a little suspicious of the attempt to turn Barrie's play into a sophisticated variant on Oh What a Lovely War and endow it with a retrospective irony it cannot quite sustain." Claire Allfree in the Daily Telegraph hailed it as being a "terrific new production of JM Barrie's 1904 play... Typically of Timothy Sheader's work at Regent's Park, the production is drenched in magical, earthy delights... the elegant, poetic irony that shadows the action is unmistakable; it's a shimmering mix of dream and nightmare."
Presented by arrangement with the Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity. Timothy Sheader is the Artistic Director of the Open Air Theatre where his credits have included William Golding's Lord of the Flies (2011, returning 2015), the Gershwin's Porgy and Bess (2014), Arthur Miller's All My Sons (2014), Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird (2013, returned 2014, returned Barbican Theatre 2015) and the Gershwin's Crazy For You (2011, transferred to Novello Theatre 2012). In the West End he directed the new musical Imagine This (New London Theatre 2008).
Peter Pan in London at the Regent's Park Open Air Theatre previewed from 17 May 2018, opened on 24 May 2018 and closed on 15 June 2018
Peter Pan - 2009 and 2010
Peter Pan at The Peter Pan Tent in Kensington Gardens in London previewed 26 May 2009, opened 10 June 2009, closed 13 September 2009, returned to The Meridian Gardens at The O2 in London from 1 December 2009 to 10 January 2010.
Peter Pan flies into The O2 - performed 'in-the-round' in a specially commissioned, state-of-the-art 1300 seat theatre-tent, this acclaimed production includes a breathtaking 360 degree projected scenic design. This production was previously seen over Summer 2009 in Kensignton Gardens, London.
Peter Pan promises to be a truly magical winter experience for adults and kids alike. Packed with surprises including a breathtaking 360 degree projected scenic design, this major production is conceived and staged by an award-winning creative team.
This brand new stage production of JM Barrie's Peter Pan in London in a version by Tanya Ronder was performed in a state-of-the-art 1,100 seater Neverland Pavilion in the North East corner of Kensington Gardens near Lancaster Gate Tube Station during the Summer of 2009.
Leader of the Lost Boys on the island of Neverland, Peter Pan makes regular visits to the real world where he befriends the Darling children - Wendy and her brothers, John and Michael - and takes them from London to Neverland for a series of fabulous adventures. Petulant fairy Tinkerbell, Red Indians and terrifying pirates, led by Peter's nemesis, the evil Captain Hook are all brought vividly to life in this brand new production that is sure to be this summer's theatrical event!
"Director Ben Harrison's lavish revival goes all out for spectacle, without entirely losing sight of Barrie's worries about adulthood and what makes a true mother - always leaving the windows open should an absent child decide to come home. Designer Bill Dudley has created a dazzling cyclorama above our heads on to which are projected views of London, Hook's pirate ship and the jungle of Neverland. The idea is that while looking up, we're actually looking down and swooping over the landscape like Peter and his friends... Ciaran Kellgren, a bigger, better-looking version of Daniel Radcliffe, gives us a Peter Pan who is part puckish sprite, part emotionally arrested child (when he ran away, his mother barred the windows). He wants to play at being the son - but never the lover - of Wendy Darling, the girl he adores. Abby Ford's Wendy is a strong and touching child-mother, and Jonathan Hyde doubles delightfully as a morose Old Etonian Hook and a devastated dad who has sent himself literally to the doghouse. They all shout too much at first, but once they settle, the show takes flight." The Mail on Sunday
With over 1000 seats in the round, the state-of-the-art auditorium will offer unimpeded views for everyone. No one in the audience will be more than a few rows from the stage, making this an intimate theatrical experience. William Dudley's groundbreaking set design uses sophisticated CGI technology where you'll be able to fly with Peter to Neverland, stand on the deck of Hook's ship, and soar high over Kensington Gardens in the heart of Edwardian London.
Peter Pan in London is directed by Ben Harrison with designs by William Dudley. Ben Harrison, a former associate director of the Almeida Theatre, is one of the world's leading exponents of site-specific theatre. The multi-Olivier Award winning William Dudley has worked regularly at the National Theatre, the Royal Court Theatre and in the West End and he has an international reputation for his work creating 3D virtual environments. The story is adapted for this special stage production by Tanya Ronder whose adaptation include Vernon God Little for the Young Vic Theatre and Blood Wedding at the Almeida Theatre.
Peter Pan in London at The Peter Pan Tent in Kensington Gardens previewed from 26 May 2009, opened 10 June 2009 and closed 13 September 2009. Transferred to The Meridian Gardens at The O2, from 1 December 2009, closing 10 January 2010.
Peter Pan - 2003
Previewed 15 December 2003, Opened 17 December 2003, Closed 7 March 2004 at the Savoy Theatre in London
Raymond Gubbay presents J M Barrie's original fantasy Peter Pan in London starring Anthony Head and directed by Steven Dexter - playing in repertory with The Pirates of Penzance.
All the wonders of the original fantasy for children are magically brought to life in this brand new production of J.M. Barrie's timeless classic for all the family. True to the original script join Peter, Wendy, John and Michael in the ultimate adventure for every child who never wants to grow up and for every parent who wishes they never had. With the safety of the nursery left far behind, fly across the stars to Never Land and enter Peter's enchanting world of make-believe where wishes come true, childhood innocence comes alive and dreams last for ever. Delight at the carefree band of Lost Boys who gambol amongst sparkling fairies, let your imagination run wild at boisterous Indian braves and mesmerising mermaids, tremble at dastardly pirates led by the villainous Captain Hook... and beware the ticking crocodile!
The show embraces all the important elements of a traditional production, featuring a cast of colourful characters, including Peter Pan, Wendy, the Lost Boys, Tiger Lily, the ticking crocodile, and of course the dastardly Captain Hook and his Pirate Band! The spectacular flying scenes and the great Pan-Hook fight, considered by many to be the most vital part of any Peter Pan, are guaranteed to take your breath away. This is the perfect Christmas entertainment for all the family, a chance for adults to relive their childhood memories through this magical new production and to introduce a new generation of children to the ultimate adventure that is Peter Pan. Age range: suitable for children aged 8 and above.
The cast for this production of Peter Pan in London stars Anthony Head as 'Captain Hook' along with Kathryn Evans as 'Mrs Darling', Jack Chissick as 'Smee', David Burt as 'Mr Darling', Jack Blumenau as 'Peter Pan', Katie Foster-Barnes as 'Wendy' and Elin Wyn Lewis as 'Eliza'. It is directed by Steven Dexter with designs by Francis O'Connor and lighting by Andrew Bridge. Steven Dexter's West End credits include La Cava at the Victoria Palace Theatre 2000.
"From the moment the ruched blue curtain rises on the Darlings' Edwardian nursery, it's clear that we are never intended to forget that this is theatre. More curtains, this time cardboard cutouts, hang above the stage and later become the waves of the lagoon in which the Neverland mermaids frolic... The production's air of unreality is well-suited to this tale of make-believe, but Francis O'Connor's sets look decidedly cheap. The script has some slow, wordy interludes that make children fidget, and John Rigby's synthesizer music is horribly tinny.The cast manage to sprinkle a little sparkly fairy dust. Jack Blumenau satisfyingly brings out capering Peter's nasty streak, and Katie Foster-Barnes's sweet Wendy captures the sense of a girl on the cusp of womanhood... The pirates are jolly, and as Captain Hook, Anthony Head is highly entertaining... Despite some winning moments, though, this is a stodgy show that never conjures enough wonderment and exhilaration. It might charm and amuse intermittently, but it's unlikely to leave anyone believing in fairies." The Times
"This plodding production at the Savoy pretends to be Barrie's original, which posed the question: should you put away childish things and submit to conformity and responsibility or retreat to Never Never Land and hang on to childhood for ever? But it's no more the real thing than a plastic Christmas tree, and a tatty, balding one at that... While Katie Foster-Barnes is a sweetly responsible Wendy and Jack Blumenau is perfectly competent as Peter, Anthony Head, star of the Gold Blend ads in the Eighties, is not my cup of coffee as Captain Hook. He brings no more than a stammer to his bland, witless characterisation. Even the flying, in which each child seems stuck in their limited channel like a swimmer in a race, fails to thrill." The Mail On Sunday
Peter Pan in London at the Savoy Theatre previewed from 15 December 2003, opened on 17 December 2003 and closed on 7 March 2004 - played in repertory with The Pirates of Penzance.

|Playing god with monsters
Speaking of Bell's blogs, he mentioned his recent attendance at the Institute of Germanic & Romance Studies, University of London, as part of an international conference called 'Vampires: myths of the past and the future' (2–4 November 2011).
His presentation—'American vampires and the ongoing ambiguity of death'—took place on the 2nd. As is usual with English language vampire conferences, the papers primarily focus on novels and film. That said, good to see a fellow Melbournite—Ken Gelder (Reading the vampire, 1994)—among the crowd.
Here's hoping they're published, a la the 2009 Vienna conference. I've already contacted the IGRS to find out. Let's see what they say.

Role Models and Chapter
by David Lemmons
There has been a lot of talk and there have been several articles written in recent days regarding role models. One can barely keep up with the latest scandals that are being publicized about some of the most popular role models chosen by young people of our day. Some famous people like Charles Barkely may wish to deny that they are role models, but the rich and famous in sports and entertainment are nonetheless SELECTED for that position by millions of young aspiring sports figures and entertainers and admirers. We could wish that the rich and famous might be more aware of and be more responsible with the influence they wield on the minds of young people. However, it does not seem that this dream is getting any closer to reality.
For Christian youth, the Bible urges caution and prudence in the selection of persons to look to for guidance in life. Parents (esp., FATHERS, Eph 6:4) need to be careful in training their charges regarding the selection of role models. Clearly, the people of God are to imitate God (Lev 11:44-45; 1 Pet 1:16; Eph 5:1). The only Perfect Role Model for young people today REMAINS, as always, the Lord Jesus Christ (Mt 16:24; Jn 13:15; Mt 11:29; Jn 13:34; Rom 13:14; 1 Cor 11:1; Eph 5:2; Phil 2:5; Col 3:13; 1 Pet 2:21; 4:1). God's people are to AVOID imitating the wrong folks (Lev 20:23; Deut 18:9; 2 Kings 17:15; Mt 23:2,3; 1 Cor 15:33; 2 Pet 3:17; 1 Jn 3:11,12; Rev 2:14).
This being said, we are blessed by our God to have revealed to us many magnificent role models in the written Word. Our New Testaments contain a total of 260 chapters. Chapter number 215 is an especially helpful one for us to use if we have concern about role models. Chapter number 215 is Hebrews 11. Young people ought often to be directed to this great chapter by loving and concerned parents. Let us briefly notice some of the wonderful lessons taught to us by the faithful ones mentioned in this great chapter…
- From Abel (Heb 11:4)… Worship in faith.
- From Enoch (Heb 11:4)… Please God.
- From Noah (Heb 11:7)… Look toward things not seen; fear God; and don't live like the world around you.
- From Abraham (Heb 11:8)… Have a true pilgrim heart.
- From Sarah (Heb 11;11)… Consider God to be a promise-keeper.
- From Abraham (Heb 11:19)… Leave God's problems to God and simply obey.
- From Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph (Heb 11:20-22)… Face death with hope!
- From the parents of Moses (Heb 11:23; cf., Acts 4:19,20)… Be without the fear of the civil authorities when their pronouncements place you in conflict with the will of God.
- From Moses (Heb 11:24-27)… Choose wisely; keep looking to the heavenly reward; persevere; be identified with the people of God.
- From the Israelites at the Red Sea (Heb 11:29)… Submit to GOD'S PLAN!
- From Rahab (Heb 11:31)… Fear God and DO accordingly.
- From Gideon (Heb 11:32)… Lead others to glorify God.
- From Samson (Heb 11:32)… Use your strength to glorify God.
- From Jephthah (Heb 11:32; Judges 11:27)… Allow the Lord to be the Judge.
- From David (Heb 11:32; Acts 13:22)… Be a man/woman after God's own heart.
- From Samuel (Heb 11:32)… Allow yourself to be committed to the Lord FOR LIFE!!!
Hebrews 12:1-2… "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us. {2} Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."

text: THE FAMOUS SYMBOL OF THREE HARES can be seen as a representation of the Holy Trinity and is found in Christian churches in many parts of Europe as well as in ancient Buddhist temples. What is surprising is the close juxtaposition of the Three Hares and the Green Man in Wissembourg in Alsace and Throwleigh in Devon as well as in other locations. Did the motif start in the Far East, as is generally believed, or did it start in Persia or the Middle East and travel full circle before returning to Europe?

Neroli is heady, sweet, and floral, and is made from the aromatic blossoms of the orange tree. It's rare to find a pure 100% neroli oil, as it's impossible for companies to be able to offer it for a low cost. It takes approximately 1,000 pounds of orange blossoms to make one pound of neroli oil. Therefore, it is not unusual to find it "cut" with another oil. This is perfectly acceptable, and does not reduce neroli's benefits at all. Used for centuries to combat plague, fever, and nervousness, neroli is a one of the most user-friendly oils there is. It helps regenerate skin cells, improves skin elasticity, and even helps with acne, scarring, and stretch marks. Internally, neroli acts as a natural tranquilizer, and can relieve chronic anxiety, depression, and stress. Besides being a beloved oil by aromatherapists all over the globe, neroli is also often used in bridal bouquets, both as a symbol of purity, and for its ability to calm the bride's nerves.
Therapeutic uses:
Acne, antispasmodic, anxiety, aphrodisiac, circulation, depression, headaches, hysteria, insomnia, lethargy, mature skin, menopause, neuralgia, panic, premenstrual discomfort, scars, shock, stress and stretch marks.
Essential Oil Applications:
For acne, wet a cotton ball, then apply a few drops of oil. Dab affected area lightly.
To fight lethargy, use 2-3 drops in a diffuser.
As an antispasmodic, use 2-3 drops in a diffuser or 4-5 drops in a blended massage to improve colon problems, diarrhea, and nervous dyspepsia.
To alleviate anxiety, depression, hysteria, lethargy, panic, shock, and stress, use 3-4 drops in a diffuser. Can also use 8-10 drops in bath water.
To improve circulation, mix 3-4 drops in 1 ounce of carrier oil and massage on body. Can also use 8-10 drops in bath water regularly.
For headaches and neuralgia, use 3-4 drops in a hot or cold compress (whichever works best for you).
To ease premenstrual discomfort and distress, use 3-4 drops in a diffuser or 8-10 drops in bath water.

Origins of the Clan
The originator of the Clan Stirling is believed to be a man by the name of Thoraldus who was granted a charter of lands in Cadder by King David I of Scotland in 1147. His descendant Sir Alexander de Strivelyn, the fith Laird of Cadder died in 1304.
Wars of Scottish Independence
During the Wars of Scottish Independence Alexander's heir, Chief John de Strivelyn led the clan against the English at the Battle of Halidon Hill in 1333 where he was killed. His grandson, Sir William had two sons. The succession of chieftenship passed through his first son, William for four generations and then passed to the grandson of his second son John.
15th Century
John was the governor of the Royal Dumbarton Castle and was sheriff of Dumbartonshire. He was appointed armour bearer by King James I of Scotland and Comptroller of the Royal Household. He was knighted in 1430. His son, William acquired the lands of Glorat from the Earl of Lennox. He also held Dumbarton Castle for the King. The Stirlings obtained the lands of Keir in Perthshire in the mid 15th century.
16th Century & Anglo-Scottish Wars
In the 16th century during the Anglo-Scottish Wars William's son George who was now the chief also held Dunbarton Castle. His lands were forfeited after leading the clan into battle at the Battle of Linlithgow against the King's authority in 1526 but they were restored the following year. George led the clan into battle against the English at the Battle of Pinkie Cleugh in 1547. He died later of wounds he received at the battle.
In 1563 a battle took place between the Clan Stirling and the Clan Kincaid family. Malcolm Kincaid, the head of the family, lost an arm. However this did not stop Malcolm from fighting as the two clans met again for another battle where the Kincaid leader was finally dispatched by a Stirling of Glorat in 1581.
17th Century & Civil War
George's great-grandson Sir Mungo Stirling was a staunch adherent of King Charles I who knighted him in recognition of his bravery. The Clan Stirling fought under James Graham the 1st Marquess of Montrose at the Battle of Philiphaugh in 1645. Sir Mungo Stirling's son, George Stirling was created a Baronet of Nova Scotia in 1666.
18th Century & Jacobite Uprisings
The Stirlings supported the Jacobite House of Stuart during the Jacobite Uprisings. Chief James Stirling was imprisoned and his lands forfeited for his involvement but they were later restored.
Sir David Stirling
Perhaps the most famous Stirling was Sir David Stirling who was the founder of the British special forces unit, the 22nd Special Air Service. Stirling commanded the unit in the African theatre of World War II, where its activities behind enemy lines considerably hindered the activities of the forces of the German General Rommel.
Clan Chief
The current chief of Clan Stirling is Francis John Stirling of Cadder, Chief of the Name and Arms of Stirling, Representer of the Stirlings of Cadder.
Clan Castles
Muiravonside Estate was the seat of the chiefs of Clan Stirling.
Drumpellier House
Keir Castle.
Dumbarton Castle, several chiefs of Clan Stirling from the 15th century onwards have been sheriffs of Dunbarton.
Glorat House, Home to the Stirlings of Glorat

Those distressing coalescences of the subconscious called bad- dreams may be forever changed into a healthy affirmation by applying three questions to any such "Nightmare" that intrudes upon your DARK and hopefully dreamless sleep (the best kind for rejuvenation of the Dura matter so we can keep-on-keeping-on)… to the degree that you remember it when you wake up, it continues to hover, smog-like, over the waking hours…you are still in the throes of your shadow!.
There is a self-lesson to be learned right here and there,so, grab a pencil, a napkin, a cup of coffee and recollect your emergent inchoate thought-forms. before they deliques back into the plenum. Then,and more importantly, forget it. Bye George!!(My new swearword) Banish it; so easy, so powerful, so simple:
Axe[sic] yourself 3 questions:
1. What was the range (a continuum) and intensity (1-10) of the emotions I experienced in the dream? (Leave symbolism to Jung; just answer the 3 questions, please.)
2. Did I act, or was I acted-upon? (As above, so below= however we are in the dream is how we are in waking life: active or passive, self-actualizing or victim.)
3. Would I change this dream in any way; and, if so, How? (It is your dream, the underbelly of your conscious, lived -life, a movie about "me", so make up( you made up the rest of the dream) a better ending and forget about it! It won't come back. It cannot come back. )
I wish I could take credit for this insight, but it comes from a group of California Psychologists, Corrierri (sp?), others too, and the book is called… Dreaming and Waking. Most eye opening. Since you are awake anyway y;~D.

Your basket is empty
Curtain poles are both functional and decorative and can dramatically enhance the appearance of your window dressing. Before ordering from the wide range of designs you need to know what length pole you need.
If you have an existing curtain pole which you are replacing then measuring the length of this will give you the correct length for your new pole.
If you are using a curtain pole for the first time then follow our measuring guide to be sure you buy the right length curtain pole. If you are measuring for a bay window use the How to Measure: Bay Windows guide instead.
All you need is a tape measure, metal ones are best as fabric or paper ones can stretch over time. Take all measurements to the nearest centimetre. Don't worry if your measurements are in inches as you can use our conversion table.
First measure the inside recess width of the window - Measurement ANext decide how much space you want to allow for curtains to be drawn back either side of the window - Measurement B. This should be at least 15cm ( 6" ) each side i.e. 30cm ( 12" ) in total.
Your required curtain pole length is Meaurement A + Measurement B + Measurement B
Now you are ready to start shopping with Just Poles.
A few things to remember when you find the design of curtain pole you like:
All pole measurements are that of the pole only, on which the curtain rings can travel so always check that there is space for the finial design you have chosen.
If you are unsure of the pole length to choose then choose the longer size as most poles can be cut down to size. If you are still unsure add your chosen pole to your shopping basket and then use the "Make an Enquiry" option, providing as much additional information as possible and one of our team will be happy to advise you.After you have made your choice of curtain pole or curtain track you may need some guidance when fitting, please check our Installation page for some handy tips.Back to our Home page www.justpoles.com

Two years ago, Quentin Tarantino sheepishly walked onto the stage of the Beverly Hilton Hotel's ballroom to collect a Hollywood Film Awards screenplay prize for his gonzo western "Django Unchained."
The movie wouldn't arrive in theaters for nine more weeks.
"It's strange to get an award while I'm still in the editing room," Tarantino said. Even so, he thought that the honor could prove helpful in winning arguments with his editor. "I'll be able to say, 'Hey, you want to take a line out of my award-winning screenplay?' "
The Hollywood Film Awards have long enjoyed a wink-wink relationship with movie studios and A-list talent. Honors have often been given to movies sight-unseen. And the selection process could be charitably described as "vague," with the primary criteria being the winners' promise to attend the ceremony.
But now the glitzy event, started in 1997 by Mozambique-born entrepreneur Carlos de Abreu and his wife, former "The Price Is Right" model Janice Pennington, is preparing for a very public coming-out party. CBS has set aside 31/2 hours to air the show in prime time Friday, marking the ceremony's television debut.
"We're designing this as the 'greatest-kept secret in Hollywood,'" CBS Executive Vice President Jack Sussman said of the ceremony, which will be attended by the likes of Angelina Jolie, Benedict Cumberbatch and Robert Downey Jr. "We believe in this franchise."
The network isn't alone. Dick Clark Productions, which presents several awards shows, including the Golden Globes and the American Music Awards, invested in De Abreu's franchise two years ago with an eye toward staging a network television event.
With CBS and Dick Clark behind them, the Hollywood Film Awards are attempting to follow the status trajectory of the Globes, the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. event that has moved from punchline to prominence, helped along by the rise of celebrity culture and the support of studios and talent looking for a red-carpet photo opportunity to promote their awards-season fare.
The Hollywood Film Awards' mission, as set forth by De Abreu, can be best understood by its trademarked slogan: the Official Launch of the Award Season.
Up until this year, the event was held in October. CBS pushed it to November, Sussman said, so the viewing audience would be more familiar with the movies being honored, many of which haven't been seen outside the festival circuit. Placing it in the November TV sweeps period was also a factor, he added.
But the process behind choosing the show's award winners hasn't changed. De Abreu and his invited, unnamed, 12-member selection team make the choices, Dick Clark Productions programming executive Mark Bracco said. The names of the selection committee remain confidential, Bracco added, so "studios won't lobby them for votes."
Awards-season consultants and high-level studio publicists offer a different take, saying De Abreu has always called the shots. "It's just Carlos ... and maybe his wife," said one Oscar consultant, who like others interviewed for this story, requested anonymity to protect his clients from fallout. (De Abreu would not comment for this story.)
The lack of clarity in voting could lead to a problem greater than lack of credibility. NBC took the Golden Globes off the air for several years after the FCC admonished the network in 1968, saying the show misled the public by claiming the winners were determined by a poll when, in fact, the agency said, studio lobbying determined the results.
"Awards are only as interesting as the people who give them, and only as legitimate as the process is transparent," said Mark Harris, who covers the awards season for Grantland. "The Hollywood Film Awards fail on both counts. When you don't know who's doing the judging or how the winners are arrived at, that probably means that what you're hearing about isn't an award, but the result of a negotiation between a movie's publicity team and an organization that's looking to draw stars to sustain itself."
Adds a veteran Oscar consultant who regularly dines with De Abreu: "It can't be a show going forward without some checks and balances. They have to play it straight in terms of accountability."
CBS' Sussman says the lack of transparency would be a "concern" if the Hollywood Film Awards' choices departed significantly from the conventional wisdom, using the oft-cited scandal surrounding the Hollywood foreign press giving Pia Zadora a Golden Globe in 1982 as an example of a left-field choice. "Ninety-percent-plus of the Hollywood Film Awards winners have gone on to receive Oscar nominations," Sussman noted.
The show isn't stingy in its largesse. Eighteen honors will be handed out over the course of a two-hour telecast. (CBS will also air a 30-minute arrivals pre-show and an hour-long program of pre-taped and live interviews after the ceremony.) The network presence will put the event on a clock for the first time, restricting what has been in the past a loose, rambling and occasionally unguarded evening. Presenters, usually someone connected to the winner, will have roughly a minute to offer an introduction. Acceptance speeches will be limited to 90 seconds to 2 minutes, Bracco said, depending on the award.
"We've been upfront with everyone this year," Bracco said. "This is a TV show. We have to keep things moving."
That rigidity will likely streamline the number of effusive expressions of thanks to various "teams" but also rob the evening of some spontaneity. Two years ago, filmmaker Judd Apatow, accepting the Hollywood Comedy Award, riffed for five minutes, offering ideas on how to improve the ceremony, using notes he had scribbled on the back of his program. Among them: "Please tell the kid [Quvenzhané Wallis] from 'Beasts of the Southern Wild' not to mention God. This is Hollywood." And: "Please add commercial breaks so we can all pee, smoke and talk."
Apatow's wish has now been granted. After his biting remarks, however, it's anyone's guess as to whether he'll be invited back anytime soon.

By Gary SheftickOctober 28, 2013
WASHINGTON (Army News Service, Oct. 25, 2013) -- U.S. Army Central Command is looking past Afghanistan to conduct exercises and sustain partnerships in 19 other countries under the Regionally Aligned Forces concept.
For instance, Exercise Steppe Eagle in Kazakhstan this summer involved the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team of the 4th Infantry Division, and that was just one of many Regionally Aligned Forces, or RAF, engagements the brigade conducted across U.S. Central Command's, or CENTCOM's, area of resonsibility, said Lt. Gen. James L. Terry, commander of U.S. Army Central Command, known as ARCENT.
"Long before the term RAF was cool," CENTCOM has been building partner capacity, said Col. Thomas Weikert, ARCENT's G-3 chief of staff. He discussed RAF in countries such as Kazakhstan and Oman during a "Warriors Corner" presentation, Oct. 23, at the 2013 Association of the United States Army Annual Meeting and Exposition.
About 20,000 U.S. Soldiers are currently stationed outside of Afghanistan in the CENTCOM area, Weikert said, and they are doing far more than operating supply routes and conducting retrograde operations.
"RAF efforts in U.S. Army Central are all about setting conditions," Weikert said, explaining the engagements build more capable partners "and that translates into better deterrence."
The 20 nations in CENTCOM's area cover 12 million square kilometers, Weikert said. About 540 million people there speak 60 different languages and practice 27 different religions.
ARCENT conducted almost 1,800 training events and symposia over the last fiscal year, Weikert said. Operation Spartan Shield exercises in particular helped build the capacity of partner nations there.
"There's nothing more challenging or rewarding than working with a partner nation and seeing their improvement over time," Weikert said.
The partnerships and exercises build trust and confidence, he said, and that can translate into "access" when it's most important.
This year, the 36th Combat Aviation Brigade, or CAB, of the Texas National Guard participated in 36 partnership engagements in the CENTCOM area, Weikert said. The CAB participated in the inaugural Exercise Desert Talon with the United Arab Emirates. And the brigade conducted a number of partnership activities over the year with the Kuwaiti Air Force.
The 1/4th ABCT, known as the "Raider Brigade," illustrated the level of partnering and variety of missions that RAF forces undertake, Weikert said.
Upon deploying in February, brigade leaders thought they would be working primarily out of Kuwait, but Weikert said the BCT had to expand to cover everything from theater security cooperation engagements to contingency response throughout the region.
The ARCENT Regionally Aligned Forces are allocated to the command and deploy for a year, Weikert said. In a couple of weeks, the 2nd Brigade of 4th Infantry Division, is scheduled to rotate into Kuwait, and that brigade will replace 1/4th to conduct RAF engagements in CENTCOM.
In addition, ARCENT has also assigned units such as the 160th Signal Brigade, and the 4th Battlefield Coordination Brigade, to form partnerships in theater, Weikert said. He added that Military Information and Civil Affairs units also conduct partnerships, which enhance understanding between the U.S. and nations in the region.
ARCENT is also developing a RAF "Community of Purpose," Weikert said. This will provide a "closed-loop learning model" for units that will deploy into theater and provide insights through lessons learned for units that will conduct RAF engagements in the future.
In January, ARCENT units will participate in Exercise Inferno Creek and work with the Royal Omani Reconnaissance Brigaed in Oman.
Units from the 82nd Airborne Division, are scheduled to participate in Exercise Bright Star in Egypt.
In addition, the National Guard continues to conduct state partnership programs, or SPP, with CENTCOM nations, participating in SPP exercises, exchanges and other engagements.
As part of the National Guard's SPP, the Arizona National Guard has been teamed with Kazakhstan, since 1993. Additionally, the Colorado National Guard has a partnership program with Jordan, and has conducted 29 engagements this year, Weikert said.
The Mississippi National Guard has a partnership program with Uzbekistan. The Virginia Guard partners with Tajikistan, and the Montana National Guard has a partnership program with Kyrgyzstan.
Leveraging partnerships is an economical and effective way to pave the path for the future in the CENTCOM area, Weikert said. He said Regionally Aligned Forces will continue to expand in the region.

how to care for your Christmas tree - to stop those needles falling
December 03, 2009
So the tree you've just bought from your garden centre, supermarket, or roadside, has already been cut or potted for a couple weeks. How can you get the best from it and make sure that it will last all the way through to the New Year and 12th night?
To start with the longer you can keep it outside in the cool the better.
I know.... children don't want it to be sitting outside in the garden, and they want to dress the tree this weekend, so the next thing to do, is to work out where to put your Christmas tree in the house.
This was my cut Nordman fir last year, and a very good example of making sure that you measure the height of your room, before you go out to buy your Christmas tree. We were a little bit overambitious - the result being we had to take 2 foot off the bottom of our Christmas tree and snip the lovely branches at the top as well.
What we did make sure of tho' was to make sure that the tree wasn't sited too near the radiator.
The other thing to do is to make sure that whatever supports your Christmas tree has room for water so that the trunk, can be immersed at all times.
A large cut or potted Christmas tree can take up to a pint of water every day in a centrally heated house. Our metal tree holder had a 2 pint capacity.
There are also sprays on the market which are marketed as making your tree last longer. - What they do is cover the needles in a resin which makes it harder for them to loose water.
Basically the cooler and wetter you keep your tree, the longer those needles will stay on. - up to 12th night? - let me know.

Oh August, the month where we finally saw rain (and cursed it) and squeezed in as many festivals as physically possible. But, before we head into autumn, let's look back fondly on the final weeks of summer.
O2 Academy Brixton | Thursday 23 August
Indie legends, Kasabian decided to make an appearance at O2 Academy Brixton this month, because, well why not? Cramming in a huge, stadium-worthy production, they kept the crowd on their toes as they performed banger after banger, from opener, 'Club Foot' to the finale of 'Fire', it was one of the most colossal performances ever witnessed in the venue. Not to mention the blinding neon coat that Serge decided to wear as well. Feel free to come back soon, lads.
O2 Forum Kentish Town | Tuesday 7 August
It's not often you have a singer as iconic as Steven Tyler walking through our venue doors, but the Aerosmith front man came to O2 Forum Kentish Town last month and put on an outstanding show. Naturally the night mainly consisted of the biggest sing-a-longs we've ever heard, as he performed all the Aerosmith classics, as well as covers by The Beatles and Janis Joplin to name a few. Not forgetting his roots, though, he was also spotted walking to the side of stage to sing to daughter, Liv Tyler, before returning to the crowd and working the room like he's done many a time over the years. This is certainly a show neither us, or the fans will forget in a long time.
O2 Academy Oxford | Tuesday 7 August
The old school punks were out in full force for the Dead Kennedys, as the punk heroes proved that rock is still alive and well at O2 Academy Oxford. Working through their political, ferocious and damn well brilliant catalogue of music, the band sounded as fresh and relevant as they did back in the 80s and it was fantastic to see them still delivering the live energy they became so well known for.
O2 Academy Newcastle | Thursday 23 August
Having had his show upgraded to O2 Academy Newcastle at the last minute, the excitement for electronic artist, Bonobo was unparalleled. His entire performance was spectacular, leaving the audience in awe as he masterfully transformed songs from latest album, Migration into extravagant sounds that danced around the venue walls.
O2 Academy Newcastle | Tuesday 14 August
If you can't see the real Daft Punk, then an orchestral rendition of all their hits is a very good second best. Re:Imagine have transformed the work of the famous French, dance duo into a stunning two-hour set, which includes favourites such as, 'One More Time', 'Get Lucky' and 'Around The World', all performed by a talented 16-piece orchestra. Selling out O2 Academy Bristol was an easy task and judging by the reaction to the show, this is a masterpiece everyone needs to see while they can.
O2 Academy Oxford | Thursday 23 August
It's always nice to take a trip down memory lane sometimes and that's exactly what Gomez did at their recent O2 Academy Oxford show. Celebrating the 20th anniversary of their extraordinary album, Bring It On, the indie-rock outfit treated their fans to a performance of the album in full, whisking everyone away on a nostalgic trip of 90s bliss.
10's ACROSS THE BOARD
O2 Academy Glasgow | Sunday 12 August
Glasgow was filled with glamour when 10's Across The Board rolled into town. Featuring five of the fiercest queens from Season 10 of RuPaul's Drag Race, Aquaria, Asia, Kameron, Miz and Yuhua made the stage their own as they left the audience laughing, crying and gasping with their performances. High energy dance routines, gag-worthy gowns and dark-witted humour well all on offer throughout the night, with the brilliant Victoria Secret and Danny Beard proving they're the perfect hosts, providing unforgettable entertainment throughout.
O2 Academy Islington | Tuesday 28 August
Yung Fume's headline show at O2 Academy Islington was always going to be a wild one. Taking to the stage a week after releasing his new EP, Too Much Wave 2, this was fans' first taste of the new material live and it went down an absolute storm. The room was bouncing from start to finish, soaking up Fume's unmatched talent and thriving off his music. There wasn't much that could have bettered the performance, but Fume had a few surprises up his sleeve and their names were JME, Stormzy, M Huncho and upcoming singer, BRYN, which, as you can imagine, sent the crowd into a frenzied whirpool of bodies. The energy throughout was contagious and Yung Fume only cemented his name as one of the most exciting MC's to come from the UK, who has so much more to accomplish from here on out.
With Star Shaped Festival only a few weeks away now, we thought we'd put together the ultimate 90s Britpop playlist to get you in the mood.
With so many huge bands in and out of our doors, it's easy to forget those bands that are out there, tirelessly working their way up to the top who deserve your attention. This month, we're putting the spotlight on socially-conscious, genre-bending artist, Yungblud.

I'm naturally drawn to neutrals–mushrooms, creams, blush pinks, you name it–but since summer is my favorite season, it's definitely a time when I embrace dressing as colorfully as I feel. This week I went on three lunchtime walks with Alan and even though we came back to the office an hour later a hot and sweaty mess, I realized how great it is to be able to spend time together, in the middle of the day, out in the sun, most days of the week–a really fun perk to working together (not to mention the carpooling!) These bright pieces are perfect for soaking in sunshine and sipping iced tea on leisurely summer walks.

NACCARATO, Michael
If you're fortunate, you'll find someone with whom you can share your life and who can show you how easy it is to challenge your mind, to crave new adventures, to not settle for less than you deserve. Someone to embrace the little things that really matter, and of course to love. Michael shared all of this and so much more with me, his family and so very many Friends. Michael passed away peacefully at Princess Margaret Hospital on Friday, May 12th from a form of Leukemia called A.P.L. Thank you to Doctor WELLS of Sunnybrook, Doctor SCHUH, Doctor PECKHAM and all the very caring staff at Princess Margaret Hospital, in particular, our extended family of nurses in 15A. You all took such special care of Michael, especially over the last few months. To everyone who stood by us both and provided support and a strong shoulder, thank you. For those who knew him, you'll not be surprised that Michael had asked that his many Friends and extended family exchange memories over a variety of music, exceptional wine and delicious food. Details on the how and when we'll do this will be shared in the coming weeks. A private family gathering will be held at Mount Pleasant Cemetery. A memorial mass will take place on Wednesday, May 24th, 7: 00 p.m. at Lady Of Fatima Church in Toronto. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation (416) 946-6560.

Nintendo needs a new console with more to offer than gimmicky controlls
Nintendo continues to struggle significantly with poor profits and sales numbers for its main console the Wii U. The Nintendo Wii U had one of its best years yet in 2013, and even that was bad. Nintendo went from 3.06 million units sold to 5.86 million sold. Those are numbers moved since launch.
By comparison, Sony sold more Ps4 consoles in a couple months than Nintendo sold all year. Microsoft also sold more Xbox One consoles in a few months than Wiis sold all year. There isn't much chance of the Wii U catching the sales numbers of the original Wii.
The original Nintendo Wii sold 100 million units. Nintendo has to give up on the unpopular Wii U at some point and try something new or just stop with game consoles. The 3DS sold better racking up 12.9 million sales in 2013. Nintendo sold 17.68 million games for the Wii U during 2013 according to Engadget.
Nintendo reported net income was down again in 2013. Net income was reportedly $98.7 million. Nintendo needs to step up its game and give us a new console with impressive graphics and stop relying on new controls to sell hardware.

Grants and Awards; education; veterans
Students' chance to commemorate battle
3 August 2016
Schools from the Murray Plains electorate are able to apply for transport subsidies to encourage students to attend the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan.
Leader of The Nationals and Member for Murray Plains Peter Walsh said schools were able to apply for funding packages of up to $1000 to help them cover costs of travelling to the free service and march at the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne.
"The Vietnam Veterans Day (August 18) service in Melbourne is a great opportunity for students to pay their respects to the veterans who fought so hard for our freedom," Mr Walsh said.
"This funding, covering basics costs of the travel to Melbourne, makes it possible for teachers to educate their students in a way they cannot in the classroom."
Mr Walsh said about 60,000 Australians fought in the Vietnam War, with 521 paying the ultimate sacrifice.
"2016 marks the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan, where 108 soldiers from D Company 6 RAR resisted an attack of more than 2000 Viet Cong soldiers," he said.
The Vietnam Veterans Day March will start at the Police Memorial on St Kilda Road, ahead of the service at the Shrine.

Surat is a large city beside the Tapi River in the West Indian state of Gujarat. Once known for silk weaving, Surat remains a commercial center for textiles, and the New Textile Market area is lined with fabric shops. Its finely carved mosques, Parsi agiaris, European tombs and colonial houses all testify to the eclectic mix of ethnic communities that continue to live in the city. Surat is first major city en route to Gujarat from Mumbai, and makes a good base to explore southern Gujarat. Surat, having its name associated with Saurashtra (the good land) is a port city in Gujarat. Surat is the second most populated city in Gujarat. In the vibrant state of Gujarat, is this city of Surat which attracts tourists who are interested in the colonial history of the region and those interested in wildlife. Packed on the south bank of a sharp bend in the Tapi River (Tapti), it is located 306 km south of the state capital, Gandhinagar. This city has the reputation of being light-hearted, easy-going, and fun-loving, with a passion for food. It is an absolutely great place to visit with family and friends and have a memorable trip.
Nice to know
Known as 'the city of flyovers', it is a commercial centre of textiles and diamonds. Surat was once renowed for its silk weaving and brocade. The city still thrives as a textile center, mainly for its polyster fabrics.
