Ron Howard's new Pavarotti doc makes billboard: 'upcoming music-driven movies' listPosted At : May 24, 2019 12:00 AM
Ron Howard's latest project documents the life of famed opera tenor Luciano Pavarotti, with testimonials from Bono and Pavarotti's Three Tenors compatriots, while newly available archival clips feature everyone from Nelson Mandela to Princess Diana. Howard on opera's storytelling power: "I thought you'd respect Pavarotti so much more if you understood what it takes to actually achieve what he could achieve. [I wanted] to use the drama of those arias to help tell his story. We could almost create an opera about Pavarotti by using those arias. That was an organizing principle for me."

Nicholas McGegan realizes a dream with 'Le Temple de la Gloire' / All Classical PortlandPosted At : May 23, 2019 12:00 AM
British-born Nicholas McGegan has been directing San Francisco's Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra since the 1980s (about the time that this interviewer started in radio), and has had many sweet successes during that time in bringing great Baroque works to audiences around the world. One of the sweetest for McGegan happened just a few years ago, when he mounted a production of Jean-Philippe Rameau's opera, Le Temple de la Gloire (The Temple of Glory). What made this production remarkable, besides the exquisite performance, is that the original manuscript had been in UC Berkeley's archives during the time that McGegan was busy with the Philharmonia. The music is dazzling, and full of life, humor and emotion. Maestro McGegan shares the story with program director John Pitman.

Igor Levit draws a throaty collective bark of appreciation from Wigmore Hall audience / theartsdeskPosted At : May 23, 2019 12:00 AM
You seldom hear a Champions League-level roar of approval at the Wigmore Hall. Last night, though, Igor Levit drew a throaty collective bark of appreciation from the audience after (for once) an awed hush had followed the final dying cadences of the aria's return in Bach's Goldberg Variations. Had he earned it? Absolutely. This recital was first of three devoted to the idea of Variations. Friday will see Levit play Beethoven's Diabelli set, and Frederic Rzewski's mighty deconstruction of the revolutionary anthem "The People United Will Never Be Defeated". On 27 May, the Russian-born Berlin pianist will take his regular explorations of lesser-known music further with the enormous, post-Shostakovich Passacaglia on DSCH composed by the Scottish-Welsh Lancastrian Ronald Stevenson in the early Sixties. Yesterday, though, the universally acclaimed Levit showed his paces at the familar core of the modern piano repertoire (albeit with a work that Bach conceived in 1741 as exercises for the two-manual harpsichord).

They will be treated to an interesting conversation of the three instruments on stage, as well as the creative musical approach and expression of the trio. Frisell said: "I'm very excited to come to Vietnam. Music is such a mysterious, magical and wonderful thing. Music has the most extraordinary power to connect and bring people together."

On this episode of Performance Today, harpist Yolanda Kondonassis and the Rochester Philharmonic play Jennifer Higdon's Harp ConcertoPosted At : May 22, 2019 12:00 AM
American composer Jennifer Higdon won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for her Violin Concerto. Now she's written a new piece for solo harp and orchestra. On this episode ( MAY 22, 2019 ) of Performance Today, harpist Yolanda Kondonassis and the Rochester Philharmonic play Jennifer Higdon's Harp Concerto. The Higdon's Harp Concerto is the centerpiece to the Azica Records release; American Rapture and was written for and dedicated to Yolanda Kondonassis. Featuring the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Music Director Ward Stare, the album also includes; Samuel Barber's Symphony No. 1 in One Movement, Op. 9; and the world premiere recording of Patrick Harlin's Rapture. The album is designed to highlight three generations of American composition and, as defined by Harlin in the context of his work, to depict rapture not as a religious event, but as an experience of extreme human emotion.

Hello Dolly soundtrack is still going strong / the STAGE REVIEWPosted: June 20, 2017 12:00 AM | By: Admin
REVIEW BY Jill Weinlein - As a little girl, I enjoyed listening to Broadway musical albums over and over before seeing the show. Listening to the music, always brought excitement and enhanced the visual experience, as I knew the lyrics the actors were singing and sometimes would silently sing along with them.
Recently I listened to the new Broadway cast recording of Michael Stewart and Jerry Herman's Hello, Dolly! The revival of this classic musical, based on Thornton Wilder's The Matchmaker, is currently winning standing ovations on Broadway. Earning 10 Tony nominations, Hello Dolly! won four Tony Awards, with one for Best Revival and the other Bette Midler as Best Actress in a Musical. This is Midler's first leading role in a Broadway musical, yet not her first time stepping on a Broadway stage. In the 1960s she was Tzeitel in Fiddler on the Roof. Listen to it often before seeing Broadway's newest Tony-winning sensation at the Shubert Theatre.

Let's start with the basics - what is a blog? It's short for 'weblog' and is in effect like an always online newsletter, but different in that it encourages 2 way communication. It is a great opportunity to offer real time information and give your audience the opportunity not only to add their own opinions, but to see those of others. Some people might see it as the online version of 'Talk back radio' and we know how successful that has been!
A Blog can have some real business benefits (see below for some examples), but in order to realise those results, you have to, at the very minimum, cover off the 5 points below effectively:

A message from Superintendent Chris King The Colorado General Assembly adjourned its session May 11. On May 10, I conveyed to the board Governor Hickenlooper's public concern that key legislation had still not passed that affected 2010-2011 Colorado K-12 funding. These bills were legislation transferring $70 million from other state funds to the state's general fund. If not passed, Colorado K-12 funding would have had to be cut an additional $22 million statewide next fiscal year.
I am happy to report that all necessary legislation passed guaranteeing no further cut to state K-12 funding next year. The 2011-2012 proposed BVSD budget will be presented for the board's formal study. At this point, the state cut in funding to BVSD for next year stands at $9.1 million as earlier reported. My proposed budget reflects that cut which is offset by funds from the mill levy override passed in November.
BVSD Bond UpdateConstruction crews poised to break ground on Phase 3 Bond projectsWith the start of summer break next week the shouts and laughter of children on many BVSD campuses will be replaced with the hum of heavy equipment as projects in the third and final phase of the Bond program start construction. All school projects are now either complete or under construction. By the end of the summer, all Phase 2 projects will be finished and students will be able to enjoy many of the new learning spaces to be constructed in Phase 3.
The return to school in August will be especially exciting for students and staff at Columbine Elementary who will start the year in their brand new facility. At this time, the new building is complete and crews will move furniture and equipment in over the summer. Demolition of the old building is set to occur in June and site work including landscaping, concrete and asphalt paving will follow immediately after. Community members, staff and students will be able to tour the building for the first time at the ribbon cutting and open house on August 11 at 6 p.m.
Photos and progress updates for all projects under construction will be posted on the school pages of the Bond website.
The new Columbine Elementary building includes a semi-enclosed courtyard which was one of the favorite features of the old building.
Columbine fifth graders got a sneak peek at the new school.
Mapleton Elementary will reopen as an Early Childhood Education CenterEarlier this month, BVSD and the City of Boulder agreed to partner on a project that would include Mapleton Elementary in the district's expansion of its preschool services. Thanks to the support of voters last November, the district is rolling out plans to increase its preschool services district-wide. Mapleton Elementary was identified as a potential site to grow preschool options in Boulder.
Mapleton Elementary ceased operation as a school in 2003 and has been used to warehouse IT equipment in recent years. To be operable as an early childhood education center, the Mapleton building will require renovation and remodeling. The City has agreed to provide $3.5 million in Education Excise Tax funds to the improvement project. The district will contribute $1.4 million in mill levy override funds. Operating expenses will be paid with ongoing override revenue.
The program will serve up to 120 students ages 3-4 and 5 until school age. The program offered at Mapleton will be consistent with the preschool program offered in schools across the district. Students from anywhere in the district will be eligible to attend as long as space is available.
This summer, the district will hire an architect and convene a Design Advisory Team (DAT). The group will begin design work in September with construction anticipated to begin next summer. The Design Advisory Team will include district staff, City of Boulder staff, parents and neighborhood representatives. The building will be ready for students for the 2013-14 school year.
Override funds also are being used to construct or augment early childhood education facilities at Aspen Creek K-8, Douglass Elementary, Emerald Elementary, Fireside Elementary, Monarch K-8, Sanchez and Whittier Elementary (kindergarten).
Keep up with the progress of the Mapleton project at here.
The following is a letter addressed to BVSD employees from the medical directors of the Boulder Valley Care Network.
To BVSD employees and families,
It isn't often that physicians get an opportunity to work directly with local employers to improve the quality of care in our community. We, fortunately, have that opportunity with BVSD. We know that health care can be complex, frustrating, and expensive. It is critically important that we work together to make health care quality and access better for you.
The Boulder Valley Care Network (BVCN) is a diverse group of health care professionals working together in order to improve your health and quality of life. We are comprised of three hospitals, several clinics, and over 700 physicians and other clinicians. The BVCN began its collaboration at the request of BVSD to improve the local quality, value and experience of patient care for you and your families enrolled in the BVSD self-funded benefit plans. Know that we are committed to maintain a choice of providers, improve access and quality, and continue to improve our coordination of your care. We are counting on you to be engaged partners in this effort.
Here are three specific initiatives that we are working on right now:
We applaud the leadership at BVSD for having the vision and persistent effort to create a structure for this kind of community partnership. Be assured that the BVCN physicians and hospitals are engaged and committed to work with you, with each other, and with BVSD to make sure each of you has the best care.

Did you know?All buildings will be shut down for the summer except in specific areas with scheduled activities. We are making a concerted effort to consolidate scheduled activities to minimize the amount of energy and resources it takes to power an entire school during the summer months.
TipsAs you enjoy a relaxing summer, please help the earth take a break too. The following are some suggestions for reducing waste and cutting the use of unnecessary resources over the summer months.
KudosCongratulations to Ella Johnson from Crestview Elementary who biked or walked to school EVERY DAY this year!! Thanks, Ella, for setting such a good example for your friends and community.

Neah Bay wins fourth state 1B title in 6 years with 64-34 victory over Odessa-Harrington
For the fourth time in six years, the Neah Bay Red Devils are the 1B football state champions.
State titles have become commonplace for Neah Bay head coach Tony McCaulley. His team hasn't missed a state semifinal since 2009. Neah Bay lost to Lummi in the second week of the season. McCaulley claims it's what made this team different from teams in the past.
"The best thing about this group is that they got better every week," McCaulley said. "We didn't play well early in the season. We played some really horrible football. These guys played better every single week."
After Saturday's state championship game, a 64-34 win over Odessa-Harrington at the Tacoma Dome, it's hard to imagine this team playing horrible football. Red Devils senior running back Cole Svec scored the first two touchdowns of the game — a 5-yard run in the first quarter and a 16-yard reception in the second — to put Neah Bay up 12-0.
Odessa-Harrington answered when Brad Johnston caught a 38-yard pass from Colton Hunt. Neah Bay answered quickly with Cameron Buzzell scoring on a 59-yard run. Buzzell would score two more times before the half, giving the Red Devils a 34-14 lead at the break.
"We wanted to get an early start on them," McCaulley said. "We typically start slow. They are a fast, well-coached ball club. They got away with some stuff. A lot of formations we got confused on. With our depth and our size we wanted to run the ball at them and wear them down."
Svec had 20 carries for 87 yards on the ground and a rushing touchdown plus four receptions for 82 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Buzzell was the star beginning in the second quarter. Buzzell rushed for 168 yards on just eight carries, scoring three touchdowns, and had 59 receiving yards and a touchodown.
Buzzell wasn't done, adding a 32-yard pass to his final numbers. Buzzell finished with 259 total yards of offense and four touchdowns.
"I'm used to it a bit because this is my fifth state title," Buzzell said. "This is my third in football, one in basketball and another in track. It always feels amazing. There's no rush like winning a state title game."
Neah Bay's win was convincing as the team had a total of 498 offensive yards. They did most of their damage on the ground, running for 303 yards on 45 attempts. Rwehabura Munyagi made the most of his 12 pass attempts, completing seven for 195 yards and throwing two touchdowns.

I've never had much time for the genealogy of my own family, after all, I already know what I am, I don't need anyone to tell me I'm American. But what if I had to prove it? As the custom agent pointed out, my NYS driver's license only meant that I could drive in New York State. Although I had to show all kinds of proof of me-ness to get that license, none of it said I was an American. Since a passport only gives me the right to travel from one country to another, there must be some kind of color-coded card I am missing out on right?
So I decided, well, since the BIA has deemed itself the ultimate authority and judge as to what a Native American tribe is, surly they would know? Since a tribe is an "Indian Nation" with it's own separate government, the same criteria should work for me as an American from my nation with it's own separate government. So, I went to the BIA website and saw they had a handy list of seven things you need to prove. Well that sure seemed easy enough. After all, I'm here, I'm a person, I have ties to my community in which I vote, my parents were born here, and their parents were born here so I must be part of my nation the tribe of the United States of America! This shouldn't be too hard to do. I'm sure my family had something to show that they "demonstrate that they have a membership and know they are on the membership list" like the BIA wanted from the Abenaki. So all I needed for one step was to find my family's membership in the tribe of the United States of America.
I went to my file cabinet and pulled out my family genealogy files. I pulled out my birth certificate, my mother's, my dad's, my grandparent's, and nothing, not even a color-coded membership card in my file! Although the certificates said what town they were physically born in, nothing said they were members or citizens of my nation. I next went to the census records to see if I could prove my family's lineage back to 1900 in my tribe of the United States of America. I started with my father's side. On his side I found mostly British. Eek! That can't be good. They had been the enemy! I then tried the other branch of his family and hit a dead end.
Things were not looking good so far. I then tried my mother's side. Well let me tell you my shock to find that my early ancestors on one side of my mother's family didn't have any boxes checked or dates in the citizenship and naturalization column. In fact it said they were born in Ireland or Scotland! So that branch of her family didn't work. I then tried the other side and lost all hope. Not only were they from Austria, they did not even get here until 1920! So I could not prove a continuous link to my nation back to 1900.
According to Channel 3 News in Burlington, Vermont the Attorney General there said, "a scientific study funded by the state proved the Swanton-based Abenakis have no historical or genealogical history as a tribe -- and the federal authorities have agreed." Nor could they show, "blood relationship between the group seeking recognition and an historic Indian tribe." I've never heard of genealogy being scientific. Obviously my genealogy wasn't proving a thing for me either, so maybe I did need to try something scientific. There was only one hope left to prove continuous existence. I went down to my doctor's office and requested a DNA test.
"Are you pregnant?" the doctor asked.
"Pregnant? At my age? Of course not," I replied. "Don't be silly."
Looking a little confused now she questioned, "Then what do you need a DNA test for if not for paternity?"
I matter-of-factually replied, "To prove I'm American of course."
"You know, I'm trying to prove I'm an American. I'm hoping I have at least a quarter American blood in me."
Well, I'm sorry," she said, looking at me like I was nuts as she wrote me up some state controlled prescription, "No DNA test is going to prove you're an American. If you're born in America, then you're an American."
Hummm.... easy for you to say, I thought as I took my little cup of water and pill from her. You try and prove sometime you got a membership in the nation of the United States of America, especially without any American blood!
As I calmly floated out of the doctor's office, to now walk home since I couldn't drive with whatever she gave me for my "condition", I thought I would at least look at the other things on the BIA list of criteria to see if I could qualify. I knew certainly that I did not belong to any other nation, so that at least was one down on their list, nor had I applied for citizenship in any other nation. Plus I was pretty sure no one in my family had any thought of opening a casino so that shouldn't sway any votes unfairly against me, not that it should have anything to do with it. I guess the next thing to look at was my nation's existence itself per BIA specs.
In looking at the list I couldn't give my nation's "present governing document" because I'm not sure what it is any more. I thought it was the Constitution of the United States of America but they don't seem to follow that much anymore. Then I looked at "maintained political influence or authority over its members". Yes, OK, that applies. Political influence has definitely played into who has authority over us. Except for when they argue among themselves, then the media usually tells us who must be right and who should be in charge. Then there was "has existed as a community from historical times to the present" being the time immemorial thing. Well if you don't count when the British, French, Spanish, and Dutch were in charge in different parts of my nation I suppose so. Oh, but wait, there was the Civil War wasn't there, when we didn't know who was going to end up in charge because the nation was split. So I guess I can't include that criteria either can I?
I guess what I have learned from all of this was my "nation" of the United States of America could not pass the ridiculous criteria of the BIA test. It shouldn't be for them to decide. It is absurd after all this time that any Indian Nation has to prove to my infant nation that they still exist.

DONE DEAL: QPR announce Steven Caulker signing
STEVEN CAULKER has completed his move from Cardiff City to Queen's Park Rangers, the club have announced.
The 22-year-old centre-back has joined Harry Redknapp's side after just one season at Cardiff, who were relegated from the Premier League at the end of the 2013-14 season.
Owner Tony Fernandes revealed the news on Twitter, writing: "I would like to announce the signing of Stephen Caulker to Queen's Park Rangers. Welcome."
The defender is believed to have joined the club on a four-year deal for a fee of around £8m from the Bluebirds.
And speaking about his move from Cardiff, Caulker said working with former Tottenham boss Redknapp and ex-Manchester United Rio Ferdinand were big factors in him choosing to join the hoops.
"Harry was a big factor for me, having worked with him at Tottenham," Caulker explained.
"Being able to play with Rio Ferdinand was also a big draw.
I would like to announce the signing of Stephen Caulker to Queen's Park Rangers. Welcome. pic.twitter.com/3c6QvziDbK— Tony Fernandes (@tonyfernandes) July 22, 2014
"He has been a role model for many years, along with Ledley King.
"Our first aim this season has to be to get to 40 points, to make sure we stay up."

Hello, and welcome to our science fair pages. We are two girls from Colorado who have been doing the science fair since -- about forever (kindergarten). We know how difficult it is to choose and research a good science fair project. So we want to help you! Here we present detailed information on five projects that we have done together, two of which were selected to go to the district science fair. We would get tired of doing something similar every year, so there is a lot of diversity among our projects. Each page summarizes one of our projects, and there is a link to our final report which you can download and read. Please do not simply copy our reports and hand them in as your own -- that's plagiarism, and you are on your honor not to do that. But we know how hard it is sometimes to find good background info for a project, so we have decided to make our reports available to other students who can use them for researching similar projects. If you want to cite our reports in your bibliography, use 'Clos, A. and M.' as the authors.
Each of the links below will take you to one of our experiments. If you have questions about how we did something, there is also a link to our mom's email on each page.
Have fun!

Yes and I wish you a week of magic dear Sus. Wonderful colors in this drawing. I like the 'guy' and I love the photos of your world. There is never too many shots by the way. Talk soon, N, xoReplyDelete
Yes, it is such a treat to see blue sky AND to feel warm breezes on bare skin. As much as I don't wish to live in a warm climate, it has been a welcome respite from silvery gray skies and constant moisture. Clothing drying in the sun, dust off the road, flowers blooming almost simultaneously in a cosmically coordinated riot of color.ReplyDelete
BBQ's, beach walks, languid naps in the sun. . . all worth indulging in, while we can!
Your butterfly reminds me that I've seen more moths and butterflies in the past couple weeks, than probably in the past ten years. I hope that is a good thing.
happy summer, sus...ReplyDelete

Solitaire Game: A Fun Card Game
World Of Solitaire is a card game that utilizes the standard 52 card deck. The game is quite simple and involves skill, strategy and some luck. What you will need as a player is the normal playing card deck excluding the jokers and a surface wide enough for laying out your cards. The solitaire game's first objective is building up a foundation by releasing specific cards and placing them into their respective positions. Card placement follows a certain sequence and suit starting from the ace and ending with the king. Ultimately, the player has to build the entire pack into different foundations to emerge victorious.
Game controls:
Playing solitaire game entails drawing a card from the deck. To accomplish this, you hold the control key and then drag the target card from the deck. You then release the left key of the mouse. This will earn you some point and you need to continue doing the same for the remaining cards to get infinite points.
Playing solitaire:
To play the game, you are required to build sequences by transferring the cards presented in the tableau. If an ace is revealed, place it in a foundation pile. A complete foundation will have an ace at the bottom and a king at the very top. Cards are transferred one after the other and if no more face up cards can be moved, you can flip over the initial card to use the stock pile. Removal of cards creates a space in the tableau to enhance manipulation. The space formed can only be can only be occupied by a king.
To win the game, continue transferring the cards until all of them are arranged in the required sequence. The arrangement should be in a descending manner using alternating colors. For instance, a red Queen can be moved on top of a back King. At the end of the game, all cards should be properly placed on all the four foundations.

Howto boxing, MMA Fighting Stance
Howto boxing, MMA Fighting Stance
The fighting stance that we use is a great crossover stance that will serve you well in MMA. We use the basic foot position used in wrestling, boxing and Muay Thai which are the essential parts of the standup game in MMA.
The trick with adapting it to Mixed Martial Arts is to be quick and versatile with the level changes and to train counter techniques for the transition between toe-to-toe and inside grappling as well as take downs and the defense of take downs. For example; a traditional Muay Thai stance is very upright and the advantage it lends is the speed at which a person can throw a kick from there or check and counter. The problem is that, with so much weight on the back foot, it is hard to keep good balance when the opponent is driving forward as a wrestler would. In this case, a fighter who is very confident with his ground game might be ok with this because he knows he can take a toll on his opponent with kicks and if he gets taken down he will survive. An example of this type of fighter would be Donald Cerrone. Most of the time he can get the better of his opponents with his fantastic stand-up and if someone does shoot in and take him to the floor Cerrone would make his life suck badly! Where this is not good for him is when dealing with a boxer like Nate Diaz.
The lower stance, the crisp boxing head movement and the angles tore down Donald's very upright stance and defense.
Another aspect that is coming in to play in the last few years is the fact that Dana and many other promoters are paying bonuses for fight of the night and the careers of the fighters depends so much on making exciting fights and the brawling stand-up battles are becoming more common. No matter what you can do on the ground, the stand-up game is in play!

Gouache Paint and Supplies
Gouache [pronounced gwahsh, French, from Italian guazzo] is a water-soluble, opaque paint. I enjoy working with this medium because of its rich, saturated color and flat, velvety even surface. Unlike transparent watercolor, gouache allows the artist to work back into its surface, change color and repaint sections. Once used by many illustrators for its strong chromatic characteristics, gouache fell by the wayside once the use of computer-generated illustrations became a standard. Gouache is now enjoying a resurgence of popularity with fine artists who choose it for its ability to be both opaque and transparent depending on the amount of water added to the pigment. I like to add just enough water so that the mixture resembles a thick cream.

Dear Sir / Madam,
As former students of PSG College of Arts and Science, Coimbatore we represent the alumni forum.The Chennai Chapter of the Alumni is a new initiative to bring all of those who are staying in Chennai.
PSGCAS is the tree from where we all had spread our wings and started the expedition of our lives. This reunion is not for a simple objective to shake hands, socialize and build relationships; it is aimed for a noble cause.
Yes! It is a long journey we are starting here to lend a helping hand to those who are craving for help. There are many young minds around us who are striving to acquire higher education but failing to do so, because they are unable to afford it. We are determined to help those students who have the zeal to learn but are financially poor. We all would agree that, as senior citizens in the community, each one of us has the responsibility to support them. Having sculpted from the same institution, we all are like‐minded and I am sure that such a noble intention would be present in each one of our minds.
As the saying goes ʹBirds of same feather flock togetherʹ, Let us work together to leverage the strength of synergism for a common cause. We are planning to build a charitable fund for providing scholarships, educational materials, training on co‐curricular activities …etc. This will be provided to the poor students in schools and colleges.
We are organizing a "Musical Nite" on Friday, 30th September 2011, at Kamaraj Arangam, Teynampet,Chennai, a Musical Concert by Cine Fame Mr. Raghav & Mrs. Preetha with many other artists and performers along with Comedy & Mimicry Artist Mr. Chinni Jayanth to raise funds that can be used for supporting such initiatives. We request your sincere participation in all such initiatives and request you to contribute adequately to support this noble cause. Since this will be a mega event, we are looking for sponsors who can lend a helping hand to make this a grand success. We are sure that you will consider our request and donate generously. Looking forward to have a long‐term association with you in this journey of service.
With warm regards
N. Venkatesh Chairman,
PSG College of Arts and Science Alumni Association,

The Jubilee Year
by Wayne BlankThe Lord commanded the ancient Israelites to observe a "Jubilee Year" twice per century: "25:10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family" (Leviticus 25:10 KJV). The primary purpose was to protect property rights of tribal families i.e. land could not be permanently sold or forfeited due to adverse circumstances beyond an owner's control (usually the only reason that anyone would ever give up their property), or an irresponsible or incompetent ancestor (from which innocent children and grandchildren could thereafter suffer a cycle of poverty). It effectively prevented the development of a class system of "land barons" and "landless serfs," while guaranteeing the opportunity to work one's own land, in keeping with "every man under his vine and under his fig tree" (Micah 4:4 KJV).
See also 1 Year Holy Bible Reading Plan
"Ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land"
The Jubilee Year is not the same as the Sabbath Year, every seventh year, in which the land was to lay fallow: "25:3 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof; 25:4 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard" (Leviticus 25:3-4 KJV). Since the land was also to remain unharvested during the Jubilee Year, that meant that no harvesting was done every 49th and 50th years. Did that mean that the people were to starve for 2 years? No. The Lord provided a triple-bountiful crop on the sixth year: "25:20 And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase: 25:21 Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years. 25:22 And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store" (Leviticus 25:20-22 KJV).
"25:8 And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years. 25:9 Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement [see Christ's Day Of Atonement] shall ye make the trumpet sound [see also Christ's Feast of Trumpets] throughout all your land. 25:10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family. 25:11 A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed. 25:12 For it is the jubilee; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.
While land was returned to the original owner, that did not mean that the one who purchased the land took a financial loss because everyone knew that the land was going to be returned to the seller at the Jubilee Year - and the price paid was based upon the number of years remaining until the Jubilee Year. The only exception were houses in walled cities.
"25:23 The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and Sojournerss with me. 25:24 And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.
The Levites supervised the sales, with their own rules for land ownership.
"27:16 And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD some part of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver. 27:17 If he sanctify his field from the year of jubilee, according to thy estimation it shall stand. 27:18 But if he sanctify his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the jubilee, and it shall be abated from thy estimation. 27:19 And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him. 27:20 And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more. 27:21 But the field, when it goeth out in the jubilee, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's.

Oils and fats: we need them, at least some of them, but the news about which ones are best changes all the time! From the margarine craze of the middle of the twentieth century to the coconut oil fad that's raging right now, the misinformation and research are mixed up, making it hard for the average person to tell what's really a "healthy fat."
I'm not an expert. Far from it. I read the same news that you do! But here's my take on oils.
BEST CHOICE: Olive. This is not a recent craze, nor is it a source of contention, in most circles: this is a good fat. I use it for everything. I don't deep-fry anything, so I don't worry about it burning.
OTHER GOOD CHOICES: For flavoring things, I sometimes use a little sesame oil. Walnut and other nut oils are good too. For getting fat in your diet–not for cooking–avocados and nuts provide excellent, healthy fats. Fish oil supplements are also a good choice if you aren't getting enough oils in your diet. Most of us, however, don't have a problem with that!
TREATS: Butter is not evil. It's not great for you–I don't think the recent "traditional foods" craze, such as what's set forth by Weston A. Price, holds up to scrutiny, nor does their canonization of butter and animal fats!–but a little bit now and then won't kill you and is very satisfying. I also think that a little butter really improves many baked goods, and since those are occasional treats anyway, I use it.
THINGS I AVOID: With few exceptions, I avoid margarine, vegetable shortening, and animal fats (except those found in the animal products I'm cooking–for example, I wouldn't use bacon grease).
THINGS I DON'T KNOW ABOUT: I have heard wildly conflicting things about coconut oil. Some people argue that it's the best thing since sliced bread; others feel that it's unhealthful. Canola oil is another that has been held up as healthful since the 90's but has recently come into question. I don't know the answers, so I stick to oils that I am fairly confident are good for me!
BOTTOM LINE: Olive oil is my staple. I also use small amounts of other flavorful fats–sesame oil, butter–when the flavor really improves a dish. One thing to remember, though, is that even a healthful oil like olive packs a lot of calories; many things don't need oil at all, and we often use more than we need.

Kurmanbek Saliyevich Bakiyev (Kyrgyz: Курманбек Сали уулу Бакиев, Kurmanbek Sali Uulu Bakiev; Russian: Курманбе́к Сали́евич Баки́ев; born 1 August 1949) is a politician who served as the second President of Kyrgyzstan, from 2005 to 2010. Large opposition protests in April 2010 led to the takeover of government offices, forcing Bakiyev to flee the country.
Bakiyev was the leader of the People's Movement of Kyrgyzstan before his ascendance to the presidency. He received most of his popular support from the south of the country.
The Legislative Assembly of Kyrgyzstan of the Supreme Council of Kyrgyzstan appointed him acting President on March 25, 2005, following the ousting, during the Tulip Revolution, of President Askar Akayev. In October 2007, Bakiyev initiated the creation of Ak Jol party, but could not lead it due to his presidency.[1]
Tulip Revolution
Following the events of the 2005 Tulip Revolution, Bakiyev won the 10 July ballot for the Presidential election with 89% of the vote with a 53% turnout.[2]
Despite initial hopes, Bakiyev's term in office was marred by the murder of several prominent politicians, prison riots, economic ills and battles for control of lucrative businesses.[3][4][5][6] In 2006, Bakiyev faced a political crisis as thousands of people participated in a series of protests in Bishkek. He was accused of not following through with his promises to limit presidential power, give more authority to parliament and the prime minister, and eradicate corruption and crime. Bakiyev claimed that the opposition was plotting a coup against him.[7][8]
In April 2007, the opposition held protests demanding Bakiyev's resignation,[9] with a large protest beginning on April 11 in Bishkek. Bakiyev signed constitutional amendments to reduce his own power on April 10, but the protest went ahead, with protesters saying that they would remain until he resigned.[10] Clashes broke out between protesters and police on April 19, after which the protests ended.[11]
Over the years, the relationship between China and Kyrgyzstan has grown. The number of Chinese students in Kyrgyzstan has risen.[12] There is even a plan for a high-speed rail to connect the two countries.[13]
In February 2009, while in Moscow, Bakiyev announced the eviction of the US Air Base from Kyrgyzstan, right after a meeting with Russian President Dmitri Medvedev, during which Russia promised a $2 billion investment.[14]
Bakiyev was re-elected in the 2009 presidential election.[citation needed]
After the re-election in 2009, some people in Kyrgyzstan said that he would now deal with political and economic reform.[15] Others were skeptical. The Eurasian Daily Monitor wrote on September 10 that his style resembled other leaders such as Vladimir Putin and Nursultan Nazarbayev. However, he lacked resources and Kyrgyz people were anxious about the risk of renewed power shortages and blackouts like in the winter 2008–2009.[15]
During the winter of 2010 Kyrgyzstan has suffered from rolling blackouts and cutoffs occurring regularly while energy prices have risen.[16]
In January 2010 Kyrgyzstan sent a delegation to China to discuss improved economic relations.[17] Kyrgyzstan national electric company Natsionalnaya electricheskaya syet and the Chinese Tebian Electric signed a $342 million contract to build the Datka-Kemin 500 kv power transmission lines. This would have reduced Kyrgyzstan's dependence on the Central Asian power system. The delegation was led by Bakiyev's son.[17]
In February 2010 Kyrgyzstan had to raise energy tariffs. Heating costs were reportedly going to rise 400 percent and electricity by 170 percent.[18]
Russia backed his government until March 2010. The Eurasian Daily Monitor reported on April 1 that, for two weeks, the Kremlin had used the Russian mass media to run a negative campaign against Bakiyev.[19] Russia controls much of the media in Kyrgyzstan.[19] The sudden campaign coincided with Bakiyev's failure to carry out Russia's various demands related to things such as military bases.[19] On April 1 Russia also imposed duties on energy exports to Kyrgyzstan. It influenced fuel and transport prices immediately, and reportedly led to a massive protest in Talas on April 6.[20]
2010 coup
In April 2010, after bloody riots in the capital overturned the government, Bakiyev reportedly fled to the southern city of Osh.[21] The head of the new provisional government, Roza Otunbayeva, declared that Bakiyev had not resigned and was trying to rally support.[22] On April 13, 2010, Bakiyev said he was willing to resign the presidency if his security was guaranteed.[23] On April 15, 2010, at 19:00, Bakiyev left Kyrgyzstan for Kazakhstan, having signed a resignation letter.[24][25] Otunbayeva stated that she would press ahead to bring Bakiyev to trial.[26]
On April 20, the Belarusian president, Alexander Lukashenko told his parliament that "Bakiyev and his family, four people in all, have been in Minsk since Monday evening, as guests...Today they are here under the protection of our state, and personally of the president."[27]
On April 21, Kurmanbek Bakiyev held a press conference in Minsk and stated "I, Kurmanbek Bakiyev, am the legally elected president of Kyrgyzstan and recognised by the international community. I do not recognise my resignation. Nine months ago the people of Kyrgyzstan elected me their president and there is no power that can stop me. Only death can stop me," and called Otunbayeva's administration an "illegitimate gang".[28]
In February 2012 it has been reported that Bakiyev was granted Belarusian citizenship in 2010.[29]
Parliamentary elections of 2010
Ata-Zhurt, a party campaigning for bringing Kurmanbek Bakiyev back to power, won 28 out of 120 seats in Kyrgyzstan's parliamentary elections of 2010, securing a narrow plurality over the other parties.
During his time as president, several Bakiyev family members had prominent positions in the government, with at least five close relatives working in the upper echelons of power. His brother Janysh Bakiyev was head of the presidential guard, brother Marat Bakiyev was Kyrgyzstan's ambassador to Germany, and another brother Adyl Bakiyev was an adviser to Kyrgyzstan's ambassador to China.[30]
Since the overthrow, Maksim Bakiyev, the younger son of Kurmanbek Bakiyev, has been charged with embezzlement and abuse of power by the interim government. It is suspected that he transferred about $35 million of a $300 million loan from Russia into his private bank accounts.[31] When the revolt took place, Bakiyev was headed to the US for a series of meetings in Washington.[32] On June 14, 2010, Maksim was arrested in the UK when he landed at Farnborough Airport in Hampshire in a privately hired jet.[33] The Kyrgyz government is demanding his extradition.

The undisputed World Superbike racer of all time faced a brand new challenge when he took part in an Iceland trek to raise the magnificent total of £110,000 for charity.
Carl 'Foggy' Fogarty, who lives in Mellor, battled against the elements and also his pal, former X Factor star Jake Quickenden in the southern highlands of Iceland in the expedition for the NSPCC.
The pair met while contestants on smash hit TV reality show, Im a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here in 2014 which Carl won. The duo forged a friendship and Jake is now the partner of Carl's daughter Danielle.
The pair were joined by 38 dedicated and enthusiastic NSPCC fundraisers who formed Team Foggy and Team Jake.
The trek started in Landmannalauger close to Iceland's most active Volcano, Hekla and ended in Thorsmork.
Carl said "I agreed to trek across Iceland to raise money for the NSPCC as I have been involved with the charity for many years and felt that I physically wanted to do more.
"Walking is not my favourite thing so I saw it as a real challenge. I have to say I really enjoyed it and got to trek with a great group of people on #TeamFoggy.
"Everyone really got involved and helped each other out. We even put tents up for members of #TeamJake – they needed a helping hand from the experts!
"One of my team members was perhaps my biggest fan, Michelle Brown, who has even named her Hamsters after me! "Michelle was really committed to raising as much money as possible for the NSPCC and walked the length and breadth of the plane on the way home collecting foreign currency from the passengers.
Jake was equally impressed with the efforts of his team saying: "It was amazing to hear from them about all the different ways they had fundraised for the NSPCC in the run up.
"One girl, Aillie Townsend, even cut off all her waist length hair. What a star she was!
"My team all embraced every challenge, even the Fermented Shark eating competition. Iceland was incredible with some amazing scenery, it's really given me the travel bug now and I am already planning my next overseas challenge. #TeamJake all the way."

Digestive Disorder Cures
Help your self to a healthy digestion
Take small bites of your food and put your fork down in between each mouthful. Try to thoroughly chew each bite of food. This can also help you to lose weight as your body will let you know its full if you eat slower.
Drink plenty of water, as not enough water intake is a common cause of constipation.
Increase your dietary fibre, eat dried fruit such as dates, figs, and prunes. Plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and lentils.
Consider food allergies food sensitivities are behind many digestive disorders. Try to eliminate things from your diet if you suspect a problem then re-introduce to see if the problem re occurs.
Increase good bacteria in your stomach, since not all bacteria is bad. Probiotic bacteria can help to maintain intestinal health. Try good quality organic yogurt that add the active cultures after pasteurization, because this heat process destroys both good and bad bacteria. Bananas are said to encourage good bacteria.

The Most Majestic Maritime Experience
Try this trip to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island
By EVAGELOS SOTIROPOULOS on October 18, 2016
Photo Credit: Tourism Nova Scotia
As many Canadians were returning from vacation and preparing themselves for work and their children for school, my wife and I used the Labour Day long weekend to embark on a trip to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.
We have been blessed to be able to visit several countries in three continents during the last few years. Unfortunately, with the exception of a short stay in Saskatoon for a friend's wedding, and a visit to Vancouver before we made our way down the coast to California, our travels within Canada have been limited.
While we initially considered some rest and relaxation in the Caribbean, the threat of the Zika virus compelled us to change our plans — and are we ever grateful.
After landing in Sydney's small airport, we made our way to the hotel for a quick recharge before departing for dinner in Inverness, with a short stop in Baddeck along the way. It was this scenic small town, home to the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site, where at least three things became apparent.
The natural landscape and environment is both beautiful and breathtaking. The welcoming demeanour and friendly disposition of residents was marvellous (consistent with their reputation). Lastly, the Maritimes is a magnet for people around the world — we saw vehicles from every single province and about half of the U.S. states.
Our dinner that evening overlooking the Gulf of St. Lawrence highlighted yet another East Coast specialty: fresh fish and seafood.
As we made our way along Trans-Canada Highway 105 the following morning, we were energized and excited to explore the famous Cabot Trail. It did not disappoint.
My vocabulary is too poor to describe with exactitude the experience and splendour of the Cabot Trail. The winding roads, lush forests, remarkable trails and panoramic views of the water make the Cape Breton Highlands National Park bucket list worthy. I (half) jokingly told my wife that the federal government should make visiting the Cabot Trail a legal requirement for every Canadian, complete with tax deductions and subsidies to help cover the costs!
We eventually made our way to Nova Scotia's capital, with a sojourn to Antigonish and a tour of St. Francis Xavier University. Our first stop in Halifax was at the Citadel, a national historic site in the heart of the city. Together with its natural environmental beauty, the Maritime provinces also offer remarkable history – an enticing combination for tourists.
We visited and saw a number of attractions in and around Halifax such as Peggy's Cove Lighthouse (a must-see); for me, however, our tour of the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 was moving —and timely given the ongoing political discussion around "Canadian values."
It was Pier 21 where immigrants from around the world, including many of my own family members from Greece, first touched Canadian soil. It was Pier 21 where British babies were sent to escape bombings during the Second World War, where Holocaust survivors reached shores of safety, and where freedom-loving people first arrived before beginning to contribute and help build this great country of Canada.
Values such as love and joy, peace and patience, kindness and goodness, permeated the hearts and minds of an overwhelmingly number of Canadians then, just as they do today. Pier 21 literally opened the door of opportunity to almost one million immigrants between 1928 and 1971 — a door we in Canada are fortunate to be behind, and one that we should responsibly keep open to those less lucky than we.
The last leg of our trip took us to picturesque P.E.I. by means of the 18-kilometre long modern engineering marvel that is the Confederation Bridge. Welcomed by the Canadian and all provincial and territorial flags, we first made our way to Victoria-by-the-Sea, where we enjoyed conversing with locals and snacking on some scallops.
Following the roughly 30-minute drive to Charlottetown, we immediately started touring the compact yet celebrated downtown core including Province House (currently under restoration), Government House (think famous 1864 confederation photo), the majestic St. Dunstan's Basilica and, of course, the historic waterfront.
From visiting the Green Gables Heritage Place to celebrate the world-renowned author Lucy Maud Montgomery, to enjoying the impressive beaches and indulging on some succulent lobster, it is no wonder why Prince Edward Island is a top tourist destination.
As celebrations for Canada's 150th anniversary of Confederation kick into high gear, let us each explore and experience the vastness and great beauty of our country. Let us tour the Okanagan Valley wineries, backpack in the Northwest Territories, and go skiing in Québec. While all of Canada and its people have so much to offer, as many have known, and I just discovered, there's something magical about the Maritimes.

- BrentM53 commented on CrazyMachinist94's instructable How To Make A Tesla Turbine (Greenest Turbine)2 years ago
Tesla was incredible. What you have here really interests me. Thanks for sharing.I have a non electric gravity fed pellet stove that I heat my house with all winter. It has an attachment capable of producing 160 degrees of constant steam that could be used to power this type of turbine.If I were to use this with the turbine do you think I could run my house with this set up adding a couple of pulleys to increase the torque and an electric motor.Would it produce enough power to run 3 appliances water heater, dryer, and stove requiring 220?Would it be capable of running lights, fridge, TV's, computers?My average electric bill is $200.00 I think the KW per HR is about 8 cents.Any feedback would be appreciated.View Instructable »

On Monday, August 22, the New York City Bar will host a program featuring Ethics in the Electronic Age: Be Careful when using that Cell phone, Blackberry, Blog, or Social Network.
The morning program will run from 9:00 a.m. until noon at the New York City Bar Association, 42 West 44th Street in New York City.
Using the latest technology to communicate with clients, the court and the public is often a necessary part of a lawyer's job. But incorrect use of these tools can lead to disaster, particularly when it involves the inadvertent disclosure of a client's confidential information. The stakes are even higher when information created, distributed or stored electronically is subject to discovery. This program will address common mistakes that lawyers make with cell phones, speaker phones, voicemail, email and wireless devices. The faculty will use illustrations from a wide variety of matters, including commercial, criminal and family law cases; the program will provide a basic grounding in electronic discovery and address common errors that lawyers make in handling matters involving electronically stored information. Finally, participants will hear about the latest generation of Internet communications and social networking that carry even further risks along with their benefits.
The faculty members areJeremy R. Feinberg, statewide special counsel for ethics, NYS Office of Court Administration; Maura R. Grossman, Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz; David A. Lewis, Kasowitz, Benson, Torres & Friedman LLP; and Alan M. Winchester, Harris Beach PLLC.

24 Hours in Cape Town
This year, Cape Town set the scene for our summer campaign shoot, but it wasn't only the new season's fashions we fell in love with – it was the beautiful surroundings too! So as you search our pages for your fresh fashion fix, and dream of the perfect summer holiday, allow us to transport you away for 24 hours in Cape Town…
10am: Yours Truly
Every day starts with coffee at Primark HQ, so it's no surprise that we were on the hunt for a major caffeine hit when waking up in this glorious landscape. We headed to Yours Truly on Long Street, and indulged. With a cool rustic vibe, and latte foam to-die-for, this place oozes Instagram chic - we're already looking forward to heading back.
12pm: Table Mountain
No trip to Cape Town would be complete without a visit to South Africa's most famous landmark – Table Mountain. Though a view from below is a breath-taking treat, taking in the city's landscape from 3500ft above ground is what we would recommend. Work up your appetite with a trek to the top, or save time for more tourism treats and relax in the 5-minute cable car ride – bliss!
3pm: Flower Market
A stroll through the Adderley Street Flower Market, tucked in Trafalgar Place alleyway, combined our love for beautiful blooms with an appetite for some Cape Town heritage. With flower stalls handed down from mother to daughter, the over-100-year-old market offered a cultural connection with its wonderful sellers, and gave us major #homegoals inspiration (flowers in every room please)!
5pm: Bo-Kaap
Previously known as the Malay Quarter, the bold and bright houses of the Bo-Kaap neighbourhood were a delicious treat for the eyes. Situated on the slopes of Signal Hill, the combination of candy-coloured buildings with cobbled streets showcased a picture-perfect history of the area's Muslim community. Home-owners can paint their houses whenever they like as long as there's variety of colour on the street – tempted anyone?
9pm: Houtbay Harbour
Our city tour ended with a trip to Houtbay Harbour, to take in the scenic views after sunset at the coast. Set within the mountains and looking across the Atlantic Ocean, the harbour proved the ideal destination for some post-sightseeing relaxation. Impressed by the day's fishing catches and admiring energetic holiday makers swimming and surfing, we could think of no better way to see out our trip.
Having spent our time feasting on delicious food, stunning sights, and fierce fashion trends, it was time to say goodbye to South Africa and head back to our work desks. So 'til next time Cape Town, we'll be staring at our camera roll and dreaming of glorious beaches…

A quick post to share something I have been doing for a while, Actually It's something we both have been doing. I'm sure we all use Beauty Blenders by now...
Beauty Blender's make us always think 'what was I doing with my life before I discovered a beauty blender?' Beauty Blenders are what create your perfect, long lasting base. The problem with these little pink sponges is how long they last. You will notice after around five months of using your beauty blender it won't 'work' the way it did when it was fresh and new looking. They say to ONLY use the BB soap but it runs out so quick!
I found my self washing my Beauty Blender with hotel soaps every time I had a booking in a hotel and I needed to go from client to client in a day. Since then neither of us have stopped using hotel soaps, It will make your beauty blender look like its brand new! Works just as good as the beauty blender cleanser except you're not paying for it, it's complimentary from the hotel ;)
Your Beauty Blender will feel and look like it's never been used. Avoid using shampoos, washing liquid and hand gel to clean them because it will ruin your Beauty Blender and they're not exactly cheap. We're talking about the real deal, Original Beauty Blender here btw.
Beauty Blenders come in the classic pink, white and black. We suggest you use the white for things such as skin care - serums, moisturisers and primers. The black for your cream bronzers and contour and the pink for your foundation :)
We hope you enjoyed this quick post. who doesn't love tips on how to save your money!?
Happy blending,
Sonia & Fyza xoxo
Making your Beauty Blender last longer!
