Hello, We are hoping to create a music events based website using Graphene and are wondering whether to incorporate the plug-ins supplied by Eventbrite. Does anyone know please if it is possible to easily add the calendar and ticket form Widgets from Eventbrite into a Graphene based website? http://www.eventbrite.com/t/how-to-use-ticket-widget
Apparently the theme we choose must support iframes (whatever that is). If not, is there another calendar and/or registration form for events that anyone else has successfully incorporated?
Please note that I don't know anything about HTML code and such, but I can follow directions.
Thank you! Helene
Yes, it does.

Police have launched a manhunt in Polokwane after five awaiting trial prisoners escaped from custody on Wednesday afternoon.
Police spokesperson Colonel Moatshe Ngoepe said the prisoners were being transported from Haenertsburg police station, outside Tzaneen, to Polokwane when they allegedly jumped from the back of a moving police van on the corner of Hospital and Landros Maree streets.
"One prisoner who was initially arrested for house robbery committed in the Haenertsburg policing area was re-arrested shortly after the escape," Ngoepe said.
The remaining four escapees, who were arrested for different crimes which they allegedly committed in the Haenertsburg policing precinct, are still at large.
They include Thomas Nkuna, 34, and Jeffrey Nkuna, 27, from Rwanda village, George Nkuna, 19, from Wisani village and Abel Modiba, 31, from Motjeteng village.
A case of escaping from lawful custody has been opened.
The police are appealing to anyone with information that can lead to the re-arrest of the escapees to contact Colonel Linky Mathebula on 064 756 8218, detective Warrant Officer Andrew Ngamuni on 082 414 3031, Crime Stop on 08600 10111, Crime Line SMS 32211 or the nearest police station.
"Police investigations into the circumstances of the escape are still continuing," said Ngoepe.

MUMBAI: Subhash Ghai's Khalnayak was one of the most successful movies of the 90s. It was the second-highest grossing Hindi film of 1993. The film is still considered as one of Sanjay Dutt's best performances. His character of Balaram Prasad is iconic.
Whenever we see the movie, we can't imagine anyone else in that role, but do you know that Sanjay wasn't the first choice for the movie? The makers had approached a few actors before signing him.
The actors that were considered for the movie were Anil Kapoor, Naseeruddin Shah, and Nana Patekar. Initially, the script involved the character of a simple gangster, but the writers changed the story into a youth-orientated one. That is when Sanjay Dutt came into the picture.
And there is no doubt that he did complete justice to the role.
Who played the role of Krishna better?

Ask Congress to fix the broken immigration system that affects horse businesses. Via the American Horse Council:
"As Congress moves closer to the August recess, House lawmakers have followed-up on a commitment to the horse industry to introduce legislation that focuses on labor shortages at race tracks, breeding farms, and horse shows, among other operations. On July 18, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) joined 44 co-sponsors to introduce the AG and Legal Workforce Act of 2018 (H.R. 6417), legislation which remedies chronic labor shortages in American agriculture by creating a modern and flexible guest worker visa program
Importantly for the horse industry, H.R. 6417 specifically states that workers involved in the management and training of horses will be eligible for the new visa program. The bill would also replace the outdated and broken H-2A program with a reliable, efficient, and fair H-2C visa program, ensuring that agriculture has access to a legal, stable supply of workers for seasonal as well as year-round work." To find your House lawmaker's contact information and urge support for H.R. 6417, please click here:

3 Merchant Square is a 21 storey residential building providing flexible living and retail space.
Overview of Overheating Studies
Thermal Comfort Analysis
Overall occupancy comfort must be demonstrated for the purposes of planning BREEAM or retrospective reasons.
Overheating analysis is carried out using dynamic simulation sotware IES, which gives the opportunity to look at real situations on an hourly basis for a selected period of time.
How is this measured?
Depending upon the project type (schools, offices, homes, etc.) this will determine the official criteria to be analysed against. These are set as per CIBSE guidance:
- TM52 - The limits of thermal comfort: avoiding overheating in European Buildings
- TM59 - Design methodology for the assessment of overheating risk in homes
- BB101 - Ventilation, thermal comfort and indoor air quality in schools
Internal temperatures are assigned on the zonal level by using the 'Building Template Manager' option in the IES software. Internal heat gains is an important element for overheating analysis.
Another important aspect is building construction, specifically the fabric make-up and U-values, glazing U-values and g-values. Thus informing the design team on building performance and important shading options such as brise soleil.
All data is checked against the relevant weather file set under TM49.

The Metasensing radar, when used in RAR mode (Real Aperture Radar), can scan an entire structure for synchronous multi-point displacement monitoring in real time, up to 4000 scans per second. In this video, the response of a rail bridge is monitored as trains of different type, speed and load pass. The differences in modal frequency response is easily visible. This type of scanning can be used on bridges, buildings, poles, towers, and any other structure where realtime sub-millimetre displacements and frequency scans are required. High resolution displacement scanning can be achieved from up to 4km away from your structure, and at a typical distance of tens or hundreds of metres the grid scanning resolution is 0.5 metres.
For more information on Metasensing's RAR and SAR products (both Ground Based and Airborne), please contact us.

Just recently, NBC 'The Voice' was being criticized by BTS fans, as they were accusing the show for using the K-Pop idol group's name for attention and hype.
The reason why fans have been criticizing the show was because a few tweets mentioned BTS and the Jonas Brothers potentially having a collaborative performance in the upcoming final episode of 'The Voice'.
Of course, 'The Voice' never actually said what exactly BTS would be up for in the tweet, but nevertheless had ARMY's attention. But the tweet was deleted and a new tweet saying Taylor Swift would be appearing on the show's finale had ARMY angry.
Hey @taylorswift13 who's performing at #TheVoice Finale? 🤗 pic.twitter.com/OMzRx6PAwP
— The Voice (@NBCTheVoice) May 15, 2019
We don't exactly know what is going on, but Big Hit Entertainment has confirmed that BTS is somehow involved in the finale of 'The Voice'. Given that the agency has made an official statement on May 15th regarding the group's appearance on the show, there's reason for fans to rest assured that 'The Voice' hasn't been entirely guilty of using the group's name for clout. Hopefully.
Stay tuned for updates!

Orland Steen Loomis : biography
Orland Steen "Spike" Loomis (November 2, 1893 – December 7, 1942) was an American lawyer and governor-elect of Wisconsin. He was born in Mauston, Wisconsin and was a member of the Progressive Party.
Loomis received his law degree from the University of Wisconsin Law School in 1917. He was stationed in France during World War I, after which he returned to Mauston to practice law, serving as the city attorney from 1922 to 1931. He was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in 1928 and the Wisconsin State Senate in 1930. From 1935 to 1937 Loomis was director of the Rural Electrification Administration in Wisconsin. He was then elected Attorney General of Wisconsin, serving from 1937 to 1939.
After narrowly losing the 1940 election for Governor of Wisconsin as a Progressive, Loomis ran again in 1942, defeating the incumbent Governor Julius Heil. He died suddenly of a heart attack a month before he was to take office, and the Republican Lieutenant Governor Walter Samuel Goodland served all of Loomis's term as acting governor.
Orland Steen Loomis was buried in Mauston. Loomis Road (WIS 36) in Milwaukee County is named after him.
Loomis married Florence Marie Ely on June 22, 1918. They had three children.

Marseille 'hammer blow' as Bielsa quits
Marcelo Bielsa stunned French football on Saturday when he abruptly quit as coach of Marseille minutes after the French giants had lost their season opener 1-0 at home to Caen.
"I have resigned from my post as manager of Marseille," the Argentine announced at the end of his post-match news conference.
Bielsa, 60, has been linked to the Mexico national team manager's role in recent weeks, and Marseille looked every inch a side affected by the off-field uncertainty surrounding his future.
Immediately after their lacklustre defeat, Bielsa, who only took charge at the Stade Velodrome in May 2014, delivered what captain Steve Mandanda described as his "hammer blow".
"I have finished my work here, I will return to my country," said the man who guided the former European champions to fourth place in Ligue 1 last season."
'El Loco' blamed last minute changes to his contract for the decision which left Marseille president Vincent Labrune stunned.
"I am, like all the supporters, dazed by Marcelo Bielsa's shock decision," Labrune declared in a statement released early Saturday.
"However we take note of this decision which places the club in a difficult place having started the new season with a home defeat," Labrune added.
He confirmed that one of Bielsa's assistants, Franck Passi, would step up as caretaker coach pending a permanent replacement.
Bielsa in his resignation rocket thanked the fans "for always being behind me during games and on a daily basis".
"I am sad and frustrated. I cannot accept the situation of instability at the club," added Bielsa, who accused the club of last-minute changes to the details of a contract he was ready to sign which would have kept him at Marseille until 2017.
To add spice to the drama, Bielsa left it to his interpreter to read out the key phrase of his letter of resignation which was sent to Labrune.
"We had reached an agreement on a contract extension for 2016-2017, which was missing just a signature," he wrote in his letter.
Bielsa said he had met Wednesday with the club's chief executive Philippe Perez and Igor Levin, the lawyer of Marseille owner Margarita Louis Dreyfus.
"They wanted to change the contract," the Argentine complained.
"I took this final decision as working together requires a minimum of trust which we do not have."
And in a direct barb at Labrune he concluded: "Even if I don't think you wanted this, what's happened comes with your authority, I think you know what's gone on."
Labrune in his statement posted on the club's website questioned Bielsa's reasoning.
"I find it hard to understand how a straightforward meeting on Wednesday about the finer points of this contract could be behind this precipitous decision despite all his demands having been met."
Bielsa meanwhile was at pains to point out his abrupt exit had nothing to do with money, revealing he had turned down a new deal multiplying his salary threefold.
And he said he'd been patient with the club, despite uncertainty in the way they had conducted themselves in the close-season transfer market.
"I adapted to the numerous changes on the sporting plan, I took into account their (the club's) work on this front, it's very hard to bring in players. But I can't accept this unstable situation."
Mandanda spoke for his dumbfounded teammates, describing Bielsa's departure as "a massive hammer blow".
– 'Disappointed' –
"At Thursday's press conference, everything was fine, it was all positive," the France international goalkeeper added.
"He was an important part of the club, for the team. We are disappointed. We don't know the ins and outs of it, we don't know what has happened. But we respect his decision.
"He developed almost the entire squad. And what's delicate about all this, there are players who came here because of him.
"We all got on well with him, with a good game plan compared to past seasons.
"But he's made his mind up, and we just have to accept that."
Quizzed on what Labrune had told the team Mandanda said: "He told us he was above all disappointed because he's still a great coach who made us all grow. He is remaining composed."
Teammate Florent Thauvin added: "We haven't seen Bielsa but we had a chat in the changing room with the president who reassured us, we're not going to dwell on it, we have a season ahead of us."

The CIA is officially seeking authority to expand its covert drone war in Yemen by assassinating individuals even when their identities are not known in a move that would codify what appears to already be current practice.
The agency's director, David H. Petraeus, has requested permission to employ the tactic used in Pakistan for years called "signature strikes." This would allow the CIA to launch drone missiles targeting groups of people exhibiting "suspicious behavior," a loosely-defined judgement that would give the agency carte blanche to kill whoever it pleases in Yemen.
The Obama administration has already dramatically escalated the drone war in Yemen and although reports always describe those killed as "al-Qaeda" or as "militants," several incidents are known to have killed large numbers of civilians.
But Washington's approach to targeting is already far removed from knowing all of their victims and being sure of their affiliation with al-Qaeda. Earlier this month, the Los Angeles Times reported that "As the pace quickens and the targets expand, the distinction may be blurring between operations targeting militants who want to attack Americans and those aimed at fighters seeking to overthrow the Yemeni government."
The crux of the Obama administration's legal justification for killing militants outside the war zone without due process is that they present an "imminent threat" to America. The rationale is an especially weak one, but it is even weaker if the U.S. has been targeting unaffiliated partisan groups making up Yemen's many ethnic and political cleavages. And it gets even weaker if the CIA now wants to target people they don't even know.
Jeremy Scahill, reporting for Nation, exposed in February how U.S. airstrikes that kill civilians and those ill-defined as militants – along with support for the brutal Yemeni government – foments anti-Americanism and fuels international terrorism.
As Charles Schmitz, a Yemen expert at Towson University in Maryland, tells theTimes, "The more the U.S. applies its current policy, the stronger Al Qaeda seems to get."
"U.S. involvement is far more than ever in Yemen. We have no evidence that all those being killed are terrorists," Abdul Salam Mohammed, director of Abaad Strategic Center, told CNN. "With every U.S. attack that is conducted in Yemen al Qaeda is only growing in power and we have to ask ourselves why that is happening."
"Drones are a weapon of terror in many ways, and the kind of hostility this is going to breed may not be worth the counter-terrorism gains," says Barbara Bodine, who was U.S. ambassador to Yemen from 1997 to 2001.

My little one's personality began to blossom when she was just two months old. She does typical baby things, like babble, slam her toys against things, and whine for everything I put my hands on, but her relentlessness is a trait that shines through and through. She knows exactly what she likes and how she likes it and if you do not meet her demands, she is not afraid to speak up. That's my girl!
As much as I love my girls already strong-willed personality, I know I am in big trouble as she grows, and I am not going to lie, it cracks into my own tough core. I've heard that tough women raise tough girls, but this girl breaks me down like you would not believe. Who knew a 6-month-old little girl could make a grown woman cry? I'm getting better at holding my ground, but when little darling reaches maximum crankiness, it's all hands-on deck.
This past week has been rough for her dad and me. She hasn't been sleeping well which means we are not either. It normally takes Choreographed Sleeping Rituals to get her to sleep during these times, but lately none of the usual soothing techniques have been working. We just transitioned her to the crib and she had been sleeping well for a while, but it appears that our girls' preferences are evolving once again.
One thing I have noticed is that she sleeps great during rainy days. Maybe it's the sound of the rain against her window, or the darkened sky that puts her at ease, but this never fails. She naps like a princess and the quiet moments help clear my head so that I can get some writing in. It's the perfect set up for both of us. Rainy days have always been my favorite and apparently, I have passed that on. Unfortunately, it doesn't rain everyday, but if I draw all the blinds, make it dark and play rain sounds, this works too.
I have recently discovered that she falls asleep faster when the music is up loud. I am not talking about ear damaging decibels, pounding out of the speakers, but the type of volume that covers the sound of everything else around you. It's loud enough to drown out the excessive noise and it chases away your thoughts. A steady distraction that puts a baby into a calm trance and allows her to slip off into a peaceful slumber.
So, today the rain beats against the window and the music plays on. A perfect day to catch up on sleep and lost sanity.

Plus size, as you may know is not my favorite phrase. Perhaps it is because I have had to ride miles of escalators to the depths of retail stores looking for the "Plus-Size" section or it may just be that I have been Plus Sized for so long that I hate being lumped into a category. It is a well known term, everyone knows what it means when it is mentioned so I am pretty sure it will be around for awhile and I will just need to embrace it.
When I came across a class called "Plus-Sized Yoga" I was at first a bit hesitant, if I go then I am admitting to the whole world or at least those in the class that I am plus sized. I realized that a class is no different than shopping in the plus sized section, and really who said it was such a horrible thing to be plus sized after all.
I arrived at the studio where Rochelle Rice was teaching a series of five classes for her "Plus-Size Yoga" class. I joined a handful of other woman of all shapes and sizes, some clad in fancy yoga wear others in sweatpants and t-shirts, we laid out our yoga mats and started to stretch. There was nothing intimidating about this class or these women, accidental met glances were returned with smiles and everyone was very welcoming. I was invited to get up in front of the class and explain my journey and I was met with even more warmth and support, many of the ladies approaching me after the class to learn more and to encourage me.
Rochelle is the President of In Fitness & In Health, an organization she created that encourages movement and exercise among all body types regardless of size. Her bio sums up her passion for her company "Rice's interest in Plus-Size Exercise came through her concerns about the inordinate stress put on thinness in our society, rather than fitness. Providing a safe environment where women could exercise physically while feeling secure emotionally, became Rice's passion."
If the yoga class I took is representative of Rochelle's work then I personally believe that she is living her passion. If only all fitness classes everywhere could be so welcoming and warming to the soul. I left and had absolutely no qualms about being labeled "Plus-Size" with these amazing woman.

But if you'll forgive

- my curiosity
- and the fact that I'm giving it extra publicity by asking …
… what is the significance of the gesture the wee fellow is making with his right hand? It looks like an inverted "Everything's hunky-dory" hand signal used by skin-divers in my own day.
And his left hand? (Duuuuuh~!)
The right-hand also looks like something wannabe Black Magicians (always poseurs) might use. Or perhaps it's a Playboy Bunny, but his keepers wouldn't let him raise his arms?
Dammit~! I hate not knowing …

Not sure what #MicroblogMondays is? Read the inaugural post which explains the idea and how you can participate too.
I've always been a pretty unemotional person. Not that I don't feel them, but I don't show them. Ok, and I didn't always feel them as strongly as others may have. My heart of stone has served me well at protecting myself in some occasions. Infertility really got to me, but you would never know it because I kept it in (or spilled it all over my blog).
Since my daughter was born, it seems that the stony exterior that protected my heart has crumbled. Initially, I could have blamed it on the postpartum hormones, but I think I have to admit it's more than that. I have a little person that belongs to me, and I to her.
I think through the course of dealing with infertility I closed myself up more, because it was easier than dealing with my emotions. Well the floodgates have opened. Just the other day, there was a commercial on for a sick kids foundation and I could not handle it. I cried, a lot, at a commercial. Like, not just welling up, "oh that's sad". Like big fat tears rolled down my cheeks, I started sniffling and when my husband looked over at me I sobbed; "it's just so sad!". I couldn't imagine our little daughter in a situation like the one depicted in the commercial. I feel all the feels now. And it turns me into a weepy puddle. My baby girl has thawed this ice queen. And now for your viewing pleasure, The Commercial.
Don't watch it if you don't want to cry. You've been warned

2nd of May 2019
Norcliffe Back for Bison on 2 Year DealAs exclusively revealed earlier today in the Basingstoke Gazette, the Trane sponsored Basingstoke Bison are pleased to welcome back, British forward George Norcliffe.
George who at the End of Season Awards dinner won the accolade of "Most Improved Player of the Season" has re-signed for the Herd on a two-year deal as Coach Tait looks to build his roster for the future.
A product of the Guildford junior system, he made his National Ice Hockey League debut in the 2012 / 13 season icing for the Solent and Gosport Devils before moving to the Wightlink Raiders, Streatham and Bracknell Bees prior to icing for the Bison last term.
On re-signing for 2 years with the Bison George said, "I'm really excited to back we came so close to picking up Silverware last season and we'll be working hard to win one next season. I've really enjoyed my year with the Bison and it really was the only place I wanted to play next year. I can't wait to get back out on the ice in front of our noisy and passionate fans".
Bison player/coach Ashley Tait commented, "It's great that we've been able to secure George for another 2 years. We've always seen this as more than just a one-year project and that fact we can bring him back on a multi-year is great news.
Ashley continued, "I believe we only saw a fraction of what he's capable of last year and that's the exciting part. His potential is huge and I'm excited to be working on getting that from him on a weekly basis!"
George will once again wear Jersey number 16 for the Bison and his home and away jerseys will be available shortly through our ever popular 'Own and Loan' scheme.

was applied to another fluid – air – to produce a lifting force.
On 13 Xovcmlxx 1907. a Frenchman named Paul Cornu made the world's first free, untethered, manned helicopter flight at Coquainvilliers. near Lisieux. His primitive machine – known as the flying bicycle' – hovered 50 cm (I ft) clear of the ground for 30 seconds. It would l>e
nuiny years before ibe dream ol vertical flight became.1 practical reality, but it was a beginning.
The early pioneers of rotary-wing flight faced a formidable challenge, because to make a helicopter (die name means, literally, flying screw > fly successfully, several different principles must lx* brought together. The first of these is lift.
The cross-section of a helicopter blade is of aerofoil shape, just like the wing section of a conventional aircraft. The top surface of this aerofoil section is more curved, or canilx*red. than the under surface, so that when a stream of air Hows over it the speed of the air increases and its pressure decreases. Under the wing the opposite happens; since the wing is
usually inclined at ;i small angle to the airflow, the air passing underneath it is slowed down by Ix'ing obstructed and the pressure increases. Hie high pressure area IK'l<>\ the wing tries to move towards the low pressure area above the wing, and a lifting force is created.
Л conventional aircraft has to move forward through the air to reach the speed
where enough lift is obtained to take it off the ground, but with a helicopter, the wings – or rotor blades – are gien motion through the air by rotation, even when the aircraft is not moving.
The amount of lift produced by a helicopter's rotor blades depends on three things: the shape and size of the blades, the speed at which they rotate, and their
angle of attack – the angle at whic h they bile into the air One or more of these factors must Ik* increased if* the lift is to lie increased. The first two iwesibilities are both ruled out; there is nothing the pilot can do to alter the size of the blades, nor has he the reserves of engine power at his dis|X>sa! vers – quickly when he needs extra lift.
He can. however, alter the angle of
attack, for the main rotor blades of a helicopter can lie automatically 'feathered – in other words, made to twist in the rotor hub. If the angle ol attack of all the blades is increased at the same time, there is a sudden increase in total lift, and when the lift Ivcomes greater than the weight, the helicopter rises off the ground. Once airborne, the pilot can

make the aircraft hover by slightly reducing tlie angle of attack of the blades so the total lift of the rotor now balances the weight of the helicopter. 'Го alter the angle of attack of all blades at the same moment the pilot uses a lever known as the collective pitch control.
The helicopter is now off the ground and hovering, but to make it move
forward through the air some 1'onn of horizontal thrust is needed. A conventional aircraft achieves this by means of its propeller or jet exhaust; in a helicopter, the lift force is tilled slightly to produce a horizontal thrust component. Tills can lx* achieved by lilting the whole rotor assembly slightly forward, but in practice it was found more effective to
h*nge each blade to the rotor huh so that it сап Пар' up and down. When the helicopter is motionless on the ground, its rotor blades have a noticeable 'droop* because of this hinge arrangement; a slop is fitted lx*Um each blade to prevent it drooping too far When the main rotor starts t« * revolve at inc reasing speed, centripetal force (the force that is exerted

when you swing a weight around on a piece of string) tends to lilt the blades back to a horizontal position.
As each blade is feathered its angle of attack increased to produce more lift it rises slightly on its hinge. II the angle of attack is reduced slightly as it approaches the forward position on its way around the rotor disc, the lift is
slightly reduced loo; and if the angle of attack is inc reased again as the blade retreats' rearwards so the lift is increased – with the result that each blade flaps downwards as it revolves through the forward position under the influence of centripetal force and rises under the influence of lift as it passes around the rear of the disc.
The whole effect is of the rotor disc tilting forward to produce forward thrust, with each blade changing its pitch as it moves round. This change of pitch is automatic and is governed by the cyclic pitch control.
If the helicopter consisted only of a set of main rotor blades mounted on the fuselage, the reaction to the rotor as it
revolved would lurn the fuselage in I III* opposite direction. Tliis is known as torque effect. and is nornially overcome by a small vertically-revolving rotor mounted at tile tail to prevent the fuselage from swinging round.
To operate all the helicopter's mechanical devices, the pilot has four main controls: the collective pitch control, the throttle, the cyclic pitch control and the tail rotor control.
In the 1920s. while designers struggled to overcome the problems of helicopter design, a young Spanish aircraft designer named Juan de la Сп іл а (Jordonia came up with an alternative, which he named the autogiro In this machine, lift was provided by a frecly-windinilling rotor, and forward propulsion by a conventional aero-engine. Although the autogiro could never jHTlorm all the functions of a helicopter, it had practical applications in
both civilian and military fields, and was widely used in the years lx*tween the two world wars.

The helicopter, for all that it is expensive to operate, has become an
indispensable tool of modern aviation. New technology, in particular the use of advanced composite materials of far greater strength and lightness than anything previously available, has given designers the means to enter a new phase of development that combines greater speeds with lower operating costs. It is in the commercial world of tomorrow that the helicopter will make its greatest impact.

Starting Point (Turning Point #3)
by N.R. Walker
Expected publication: May 23rd 2014 by Totally Bound
My Rating: 5 of 5 Stars
After going past the point of no return and finally reaching breaking point, the only thing Matthew Elliott can do now is start over.
Matthew Elliott is a recovering man. As an ex-cop and ex-fighter, his new job teaching kids at the local community gym about drug awareness and self-defence, is a little bit of both. His new focus on helping street kids is helping him heal, and with Kira by his side, he's making strides.
Brother and sister, Rueben and Claudia, are homeless kids and they're very much alone. As they strike a chord with Matt, he does everything in his power to help them.
But when Ruby and Claude need more help than he bargained for, it stops being about work, and starts being about home.
The day he met Kira, Matt's life changed direction, and it's only now he realises that everything he's been through was a lead up to this. It was never about endings. His life, his purpose, was just beginning.
Early Download - 25 April 2014
General Release - 23 May 2014
Starting Point is where it all comes full circle for both Matt and Kira. When they finally get to realize a life they had only dreamed of in the past. A life full of love that will last them through all the years of their lives.
In this installment, Matt is finally able to realize a life where there is no violence facing him day in and day out. It is a life that he can enjoy: teaching kids self-defence and making sure they are freed from the temptation and violence of the streets, even for just a few hours. He religiously makes every single therapy appointment, and no matter how some days get bad, he always makes it for the next session. He is not at the top of the world, but it almost feels like it. When an unexpected relationship develops between him and a young homeless girl and her older brother, he starts to realize that maybe, just maybe, he is serving a new purpose and, sink or float, he needs to learn how to paddle.
There is some drama and thrill, although, not as up front like the first two installments which were a bit brutal in some parts. Here, there are still some dangers and threats but not pointed directly at Matt. The dangers come from the very streets. And even if life is almost blissfully happy for both men, things are not so easy for Matt. His vertigo can be a bit debilitating still and he copes. He perseveres. Where in the past Matt would hide, here, he never wants to let Kira down. Matt does his best to stick to his vow: no more lies. And he never does.
But the inner beasts are still there. The demons of the past still haunt Matt and keeps him from getting the closure he needs.
Of the trilogy, Starting Point is most probably the tamest in terms of action and violence. This is a new beginning for Matt and Kira, hence the title, so they are on a whole new level in their relationship and despite their faith and loyalty to each other, things still come up short and sometimes not too sweet. But they handle it. Both men learn the hard Knox of family life that may or may not include children and pets.
N.R. Walker wrote this as a sweet and romantic book, but she also wrote it as heartbreaking in so many ways which just made Matt's and Kira's characters even more beautiful, in my opinion. It is in this book where all the barriers are finally broken down. Yes, we saw them clearly in Point of No Return and Breaking Point, but it was like being given the tip of the iceberg. Here, we finally get to see the men as they were meant to be.
It was upsetting when the book ended for I so just wanted more of these two. It was a great read from start to finish and quite impossible to put down. It is one of those reads that has upset me. Simply because it ended.
So yes, this is highly recommended. It is not often when I read a trilogy and all the books are 5 Stars, so this one is quite special.

text: The shekel briefly spurted yesterday following the unexpected announcement by the Bank of Israel of the termination of its foreign currency purchases in the framework of the program for offsetting the effect of natural gas production on the exchange rate. The jump in the shekel rate was probably merely an initial response by investments in forex markets, because according to all assessments, cessation of foreign currency purchases in the framework of the program will have no real effect on the exchange rate. It is important to emphasize that the Bank of Israel has not altered its policy in the forex market; it can freely purchase foreign currency outside of the program framework, as it has frequently done in recent years. Here are the answers to some questions about the Bank of Israel's foreign currency purchases. What is the foreign currency purchases program for counteracting the effect of gas? Former Bank of Israel Governor Prof. Stanley Fischer initiated the program in response to an exceptional isolated event that created a panic at the Bank of Israel. In March 2013, the Tamar Israeli natural gas reservoir began supplying Israel with gas. Power stations of Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) (TASE: ELEC.B22) and other consumers switched to consumption of local gas instead of imported fuels - diesel fuel, oil, and coal - for which IEC paid in foreign currency. Furthermore, reports of imminent signing of deals for exports of gas from Tamar aroused market expectations of a flood of foreign currency streaming into the economy and greatly strengthened the shekel, generating an effect known as the Dutch disease. The rumors caused a wave of speculative purchases, as a result of which the shekel appreciated 12% against the dollar within a short time. Fischer decided to halt this trend by committing the Bank of Israel to buying a quantity of foreign currency that would offset the real effect of gas production on the exchange rate. The Bank of Israel is now discontinuing this program at the end of five years, during which it purchased a total of almost $14 billion. Why was it decided to close down the gas program now? The decision's timing was not random. Every year about November, the Bank of Israel Monetary Committee convenes to decide the volume of dollar purchases for the coming year in the framework of the plan. The decision is taken on the basis of a professional estimate that tries to assess by how much foreign currency purchases were reduced by the substitution of local gas for imported oil and coal paid for in foreign currency. The amount was $1.5 billion in recent years, and it can be assumed that the amount in 2019 will be similar. The Committee, however, concluded that the program was no longer needed. RELATED ARTICLES Bank of Israel ends gas offset program forex purchases What effect will closing down the program have? The announcement yesterday of the termination of the gas program by the Bank of Israel stated that there was a connection between the decision to end the foreign currency purchases in 2019 and the expected establishment of the sovereign wealth fund in the same year. Fischer initiated the foreign currency purchases program only as a temporary solution to the shekel appreciation pressure created by gas production. The permanent solution to this problem should be the Israel Citizens' Fund, which was created to invest taxes paid by Yitzhak Tshuva and his partners in the gas reservoirs on their excess profits from the sale of the gas outside of Israel. What is odd about this story is that according to the announcement, the gas fund will begin investing money overseas only in 2020. Why was it not decided to continue the program for another year, until 2020? The real reason is that there was no real justification for the program other than maintaining the Bank of Israel's credibility. As Psagot Investment House Ltd. chief economist Ori Greenfeld explains, the amount involved is relatively small, and the fact that it was published ahead of time and carried out during the year rendered its actual influence on the exchange rate negligible. The annual volume of purchases in recent years was $1.5 billion, about half of the daily turnover in the forex market. Was the reason the end of Governor of the Bank of Israel Karnit Flug's term? The possibility that outgoing Governor of the Bank of Israel Karnit Flug wants to leave her future successor an empty desk was mentioned in the markets as a possible explanation for the fund's closure. The Bank of Israel said in response, "The exchanges of governors did not constitute a consideration in any form." What is happening with the sovereign wealth fund? Not much. The law for establishing the fund was enacted in 2014, but the fund will be created only in 2019. The reason is that collection of the special tax is due to begin only after the gas developers' accumulated profit exceeds a given ceiling. The updated time for this according to the Israel Tax Authority's forecasts is late 2019. During the proceedings for establishing the fund, the Bank of Israel expected that NIS 72 billion would be accumulated in the fund by 2040, but the Bank of Israel published a more pessimistic forecast in 2015. Meanwhile, it appears that the government is in no hurry to establish the fund. By law, the fund is to be composed of a council and investment committees. An appointments committee headed by a retired judge, with participation from the Prime Minister's Office director general, the Ministry of Finance director general, and the deputy governor of the Bank of Israel must recommend the committee members. Not a single member of the council has been appointed yet. Published by Globes, Israel business news - en.globes.co.il - on November 13, 2018 © Copyright of Globes Publisher Itonut (1983) Ltd. 2018

After years of requests, Hi-Point has started producing new camouflage carbines—and they do look cool. No more Henry Ford Model T policy of "you can have it any color as long as it is black." The patterns are digital desert tan (shown below), woodland (subdued grey/green/brown/black combination), and a fun screaming pink camo pattern.
The robust, all-weather molded polymer skeletonized stock is tough and lightweight. Hi-Point applies the camouflage in its newly-built hydro dipping facility, using a process proven for years by other major makers of hunting rifles and shotguns.
Hi-Point Carbines are ergonomically engineered for easy use. They have three top-side and forearm bottom Picatinny rails for optional vertical grips, lasers, optics, lights that Hi-Point offers at very low prices (and of course the rails will fit any other Picatinny-friendly attachments, including thermal or infrared).
Chambered in 9mm, .40S&W, and .45ACP, the Carbine's longer barrel will typically increase handgun ammunition velocities between 80 and 200 FPS, making it an excellent gun for small game, plinking, home defense and law enforcement. Hi-Point carbines are even legal for deer in some states.
The simple blowback design reliably feeds ammunition from the single-stack magazine that is also designed to fit Hi-Point's same- caliber semi-auto pistols. All American-made Hi-Point Carbines are used by law enforcement worldwide and can easily match both the accuracy and reliability of more expensive carbines in the same caliber. Specifications: MSRP: Camo 9 mm, $359 (Black, $297); Camo .40 S&W, $371 (Black, $315); Camo .45ACP, $392 (Black, $330) Stock: Molded heavy-duty polymer, with standard upper and lower Picatinny rails. Barrel length: 16.5 inches (9 mm); 17.5 inches (.40 S&W and .45 ACP) Overall length: 33 inches Weight: 7.5 pounds Magazine capacity: 10 rounds (9 mm and .40 S&W); 9 rounds (.45 ACP) Sight: Adjustable front post and adjustable rear (ghost ring) Warranty: Lifetime on parts and labor Factory options: Folding vertical grip, 4x32 scope, Laser, red dot sight and flashlight

Out of Right Field: Distractions abound for Mariners as Felix Hernandez moves to pen and Robinson Cano returns
Sun., Aug. 12, 2018
Back in late June in this space, when the Seattle Mariners were still doing pretty well but showing signs of decline, I wrote some fairly critical things about the team. I received some fairly critical responses questioning my integrity and intelligence in my inbox, most not fit to print.
My job as columnist is not to be cheerleader, but an analyst.
Since that column posted the Mariners have played one game above .500 and have gone from 3 1/2 games out of first place in the division to 1 1/2 games out of the wild card. It's been a hard reckoning for the M's the past month and a half, tarnishing what was an exhilarating – if unsustainable – first 70 games of the season.
And it's going to get harder still.
After another terrible performance, culminating a truly forgettable six-week stretch, longtime ace Felix Hernandez was removed from the starting rotation.
Hernandez has pitched to a 7.27 ERA in his last seven starts with eight homers allowed in 34 2/3 innings.
His presumed replacement is Erasmo Ramirez – the definition of "serviceable" – but not a panacea. Ramirez is simply a less-bad option right now than running Hernandez out every five days to throw batting practice.
The next-best options currently toiling in Tacoma are righty Christian Bergman and lefty Ross Detwiler, a former sixth-overall pick of the Washington Nationals who has bounced around four organizations the past three seasons with just 14 MLB starts in the period.
Both pitchers have Triple-A ERAs over 5.00. This is what the M's are left with to try to catch Oakland for the second wild card to get an invitation to get beat up by the Yankees on national TV.
It's tough watching Hernandez' career wind down in this manner. For 14 seasons he's been a stalwart, the anchor. The "King."
A six-time all-star, five-time Cy Young top 10 with a first and two seconds.
But time catches up with everyone.
Each of the past four seasons, Hernandez' ERA, hit rate and walks have gone up while his strikeouts have gone down.
His once-powerful fastball has always been flat, but he used to be able to throw it by hitters with precision to all four quadrants of the strike zone. Now, with no movement, pedestrian velocity, little separation between fastball and changeup and spotty control, if he doesn't have his sharp control in a start he's very vulnerable to contact.
Hard contact.
So, for now, Felix will be banished to the bullpen. The King becomes a foot soldier.
"Very difficult," manager Scott Servais said on Thursday about moving Hernandez out of the rotation. "I certainly respect him and everything he's done here throughout his career, but these things happen and ultimately it's about the team.
"It's never easy. But hopefully he takes it the right way. He'll get a chance to pitch at some point down there. Maybe he can work his way back into the rotation. We'll see. He'll let us know on that."
"Down there."
On Saturday, the first game he was designated to work out of the pen, beat reporters finally caught up with Hernandez and he said mostly all the right things.
"I'm part of the team and I'm going to do whatever is possible to help the team," he told reporters. "I'm a professional. I'll be ready."
But Hernandez also reiterated where his preference lies.
"I'm going to be a starter anyway. I'm not a reliever. I'm a starter."
For a team in a free fall on the field and in the standings, it's a distraction that the team can't afford.
But speaking of distractions…
Robinson Cano is eligible to return to the big league dugout on Tuesday.
Cano's 80-game suspension for violating baseball's performance-enhancing drug policy expires in just a couple of days. Adding an eight-time all-star to a lineup in August would normally be the biggest acquisition a team could hope for in a pennant race.
But therein lies the rub.
Even if the Mariners somehow find a way to flip the momentum and qualify for the playoffs for the first time since 2001 and end the longest postseason drought of any team in the four major sports, Cano isn't eligible for postseason play due to the nature of his suspension.
And where does he play?
Dee Gordon, a Gold Glove winner at second who started the season in centerfield to accommodate Cano, has manned the position admirably since Cano's suspension. Shifting Gordon back to center seems a mistake.
So Cano, who is signed through 2023 at $24 million per, has become the world's most expensive utility player.
He has played primarily first base during his "rehab" stint – where he is 5 of 8 with two homers and six RBIs in two games for the short-A Everett AquaSox – with appearances at third and designated hitter for Triple-A Tacoma.
All of those positions are well-stocked at the big league level.
How – or if – Cano fits into a lineup that wouldn't be able to utilize him in the postseason anyway could be another friction-producing element into a clubhouse that is in no need for any more turmoil.
How the M's manage Cano down the stretch could tell us a lot about how general manager Jerry Dipoto plans to deal with Cano going forward.
If Servais finds him daily at-bats and massages him into the lineup without disrupting the rest of the team, then we might infer that Dipoto hopes to rehabilitate Cano's reputation and resuscitate his once Hall of Fame career.
But if Cano turns into a glorified pinch-hitter and "Sunday starter" down the stretch – in a pennant race – it might signal the first step of an acrimonious divorce between the club and player.
As if the Mariners didn't have enough to deal with on the field, off-field issues with their two stars and highest paid players will complicate anything the team does the rest of the way.

CLAYTON, MO (KTVI)- The Special Olympics torch run made a special stop at the St Louis County Police Department headquarters this morning in Clayton. A large, clapping crowd was on hand when the torch arrived at the county police headquarters around 9am. The torch- also known as the flame of hope- is being carried across the country.
It will eventually wind up in Los Angeles for the Special Olympics world games that start July 25th.
Torch run organizers say they wanted to stop here at the county police headquarters so that the Special Olympics athletes and officials could honor law enforcement.
Officials say law enforcement raises more money for the Special Olympics than anyone else--$50 million worldwide last year and $2.3 million in Missouri.
This morning was a chance for the Special Olympics to say thank you. The torch arrived in St. Louis on Tuesday.
It will end up in Jefferson City this evening where there will be a ceremony with Governor Nixon.
From there, the torch will continue the journey to California.

14/365 mosaic
Tomorrow I start the largest outdoor mosaic I've done this year and that's what's been on my brain today, so I made a mosaic ring. I like the way it came out and it could be a contender for my new production line, if I can speed up the fabrication a bit.
I really should start calling this challenge "A Ring Every Sunday Made Between 9pm and Midnight" as that's what my last 4 rings have been. This disappoints me since its no different than making a ring a day, except I'm not making so many. I also haven't been keeping up with adding other's rings to the blog. I still love rings, but I hate having appointments with them. My experience with Ring a Day tells me this will change, for now it makes me ancy.

Gigue Dual USB Car Mount Holder Review + Giveaway (3 WINNERS) 4/17 US
When I received the Gigue Dual USB Car Mount Holder, I was happy and looked forward to trying it because aside from being a cellphone car mount holder, it also has 2 USB ports included to charge the phone.
The USB cord included is short but it's okay because it's just enough to reach my phone's USB charging port.
The only slight inconvenience I saw was that our Dodge Avenger only has a cigarette socket behind the stick shift and it took a while for me to get accustomed to my phone so near the stick shift. Other than that, the 360 degrees rotating swivel is nice because I can position my phone to my desired angle.

How To Have The Best Family Holiday
The annual, or perhaps semi-annual, family holiday is something look forward to. It's the one time that you can guarantee that you are going to be able to spend time with your partner and your children without distractions getting in the way. You can also finally have the time to relax and recharge, which is something we all need to do from time to time to ensure that we are physically and mentally fit and healthy.
It's essential, therefore, that your family holiday is the best it can be. You want to be able to look back and still feel that sense of enjoyment and calm rather than looking back and feeling guilt or anger about something that did or did not happen. Read on, and you'll discover some of the very best ways to ensure your family holiday is the best.
Book A Villa
You might be considering all the different types of accommodation that are available to you when you decide to go abroad on holiday. There are hotels and caravans, self-catering and all-inclusive; there are cruise ships and villas. Which is best?
In most cases, when it comes to making your family holiday the best it can be, you'll be best off looking at villas in Portugal. That's because villas give you all the freedom you could want. They are as close to a home from home as it is possible to get. You can choose what you eat and when you eat it (although you can, of course, go out for a meal too if you prefer), you can have the most flexible accommodation, you can be close to the beach or further away depending on your preference.
For everyone to be comfortable and happy, a villa is always going to be the best idea.
Leave The Phones At Home
Your family holiday is your chance to really bond with your children and partner, and having your smartphone with you at all times isn't going to help you to do that very well. If you're constantly scrolling through your social media feeds or checking your work email, is there any reason to be on holiday at all? You could be doing that at home!
It can be difficult to leave the phones out of your sight, but it can also be something that makes your holiday. Leave them in your villa and only check them for messages once or twice a day. Buy a cheap digital camera to capture your snapshots. Engage with your children and play with them, and enjoy your surroundings.
When you get home, you might find that you don't want to use your phone quite so much anymore, and that could be better for you too.
Photos Aren't Memories
Photographs are wonderful reminders and keepsakes, but they aren't the same as memories. You don't want to take lots of pictures and spend loads of time posing everyone in just the right way, and then not actually get to enjoy anything that's going on around you.
Take just a handful of pictures, and that will be enough. The important thing you need to do is join in, rather than standing behind a lens. Be involved, and you will make memories that will be far more wonderful than any photo could be. Spend more time in the sea than taking pictures of the waves and the memories of how the water felt and what the salt tasted like on your lips will be far more vibrant.
Try New Things
Trying new things is something you can do easily on holiday. There will always be new places to explore and different activities to join in with. What these are will depend entirely on what you are interested in as a family and as individuals, as well as whereabouts in the world you are.
Take your time to explore your destination and discover what there is to do there. You can even start to do this before you go.
Trying new things will give you a brand new perspective on your holiday and your life in general, and that means that you will be more open to trying new things, even if they are outside of your comfort zone when you get back home as well. It could help you in work or your hobbies, for example, as you might discover that there is something you enjoy, but for the determination to try at least one new thing on holiday, you would never have tried before.
Do Nothing At All
Sometimes, though, it's just best to do nothing at all. Doing nothing together as a family might sound like a strange concept, but it's actually a wonderful thing. We're all so busy, rushing off to do this thing and that, going to work and school (sometimes both), as well as any hobbies or days out that might come up too.
There doesn't seem to be much time just to sit and stop for a moment.
On holiday, this is precisely what you can do. In fact, most of the time it is expected! Take the time to do nothing, and you'll appreciate the peace and quiet. You might even take the opportunity to talk to your children more than you usually do, and perhaps find out a little more about them. Whether or not you feel you should be doing more bonding with your children, actually talking to them with no distractions around you might give you a new idea of what they are really like – they grow up so quickly that it's easy to miss these changes!
No matter where you are going, it's a good idea to find out more about it before you set off. Not only will this help you to work out the kinds of places you might like to visit and the activities that could be available to you, but it will help the children to get a better picture of what it will be like too. This can be even more important if this is their first holiday or first time abroad, and they're not entirely sure what to expect.

Sligo to open a school of soft knocks
'Democratic' centre where children set the rules will boost education, say founders
A new school is set to open in Sligo — but it won't have classes or a curriculum, and the children get to make the rules. Sligo Sudbury School will be the second of its type in Ireland, following Wicklow Sudbury School, a registered charity.
The two are so-called democratic schools, which have existed since the 1920s. Supporters say children studying at them learn what they need to know, without receiving any formal education.
"There seems to be an appetite for an alternative to mainstream education," said Gayle Nagle, a founder of Sligo Sudbury School. There are plans for similar schools in Cork, Limerick and Dublin.
Democratic schooling follows two models: the Summerhill, which offers classes that children can choose whether to attend; and the

The Queen's Lift-Off
Steve Antony
Hodder Children's Books
Those of us who watched the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics will probably recall that Her Majesty the Queen was, so we were led to believe, parachuted into the stadium.
Who would have thought that just a few years later she'd find herself blasting off into space aboard the rocket she's just helped the little prince and princess to build?
WHOOOSH! goes the Queen, zooming faster than the speed of light, first to Mercury. After which, comet-like she soars to Venus,
before coming to land on the Moon's surface
from whence it's merely a matter of a single giant leap to the Red Planet.
Then she boldly takes flight towards Jupiter before she's off again to spin rings around Saturn.
Zipping on past Uranus and Neptune, not forgetting little Pluto, she's suddenly sucked into an enormous black hole.
Surely that cannot be the end of Her Royal Highness?
Not so: thank the universe then, for a passing spaceship that succeeds in safely beaming her up and depositing her safe and sound and none the worse for her awesome adventure, back in the palace garden, where it just happens to be afternoon tea-time. Hurrah!
And who, or what, should be there to serve it up …
Into his seemingly simple story Steve manages to weave some wonderful textual references to Star Trek and the American moon landings.
As always however, it's the awesome illustrations that carry not just one, but many stories (as well as visual starting points for children's own storying). However many times one looks at them there always seems to be something new to discover and enjoy. In this story there's the ever -increasing number of loyal companions the Queen has on her journey, as well as a little alien and his flying saucer which appear from time to time.
Oh and of course, in each and every scene there's a royal corgi complete with space-helmet, looking as though he's thoroughly enjoying every minute of the adventure, Oddly enough, her highness just happens to have some dog biscuits (along with her lippy, perfume spray, specs and the various other necessities she carries in her handbag).
I'm guessing since its near loss, she's never parted from this vital article of personal storage.
I think this series just keeps on reaching new heights; this one is my favourite thus far, although I was probably predisposed so to think because I was lucky enough to have my review copy signed and handed to me by Steve himself. You can't get better than that – until the next one, perhaps.
