Former racer Phil Armes will make an emotional return to the Manx Grand Prix when he will ride in the Past Winner's Lap Parade. Phil's participation in this event would, in all other cases, probably go relatively unnoticed. However Phil is confined to a wheelchair after a racing incident saw him paralysed from the waist down in 1995. So for him and many who know him this is a special event.
Phil will ride a modified Suzuki SV650 which belongs to Talan Skeels-Piggins, a fellow wheelchair user. "When I broke my back I'd achieved most of what I was ever going to, so I saw no reason to get back on a bike - unless somebody offered me the chance to do a lap of the Isle of Man!" said Armes.
Having won Manx and Macau Grand Prix titles, ridden Formula One bikes and held Isle of Man TT lap records ahead of legends such as Joey Dunlop and Carl Fogarty jumping on a bike again after such an accident was understandably daunting. However in April this year Armes faced his fears and at Silverstone rode again for the first time since his accident "Getting back on the bike and riding off that very first time knowing you can't put your feet down was possibly one of the scariest things I've ever done on a motorcycle. But at the same time it was one of the most satisfying too, and also quite a melancholic moment. A lump in the throat definitely. To get back on a bike, it was something I probably thought I would never do again."
However, remembering the rides of his past it wasn't all plain sailing "But on the way home I'd never felt so frustrated either, even with all the things I've taken on in my life, because I knew how I used to ride a bike."
Spurred on by his racing never say never attitude Phil persevered and soon the skills he'd honed started to come back. "But the second time at Silverstone I was a lot quicker, safer, and smoother and I came home with a smile on my face that time. I've had two more at Snetterton since then, and I'm already to go to the Isle of Man at the end of August."
Datatag have provided support to Phil in his quest to get back on a bike and Managing Director Kevin Howells said "I've known Phil for many years now and to be able to help him realise such a dream was an easy decision. I can't imagine what will be going through Phil's mind on this lap but we are just proud to have played a small part in helping to make it happen. In spirit at least everyone at Datatag will be riding that lap with him!"
"It's been almost like starting from scratch. And with the actual lap, the TT goes up into the mountain and down again," said Phil. "There's Ballaugh Bridge to overcome, which people jump over - and I'm not going to be able to do that. So I have my concerns as we've got to make it as safe as possible. But am I looking forward to it? You bet."
Phil's lap of the famous Isle of Man circuit will be the first for a paraplegic rider and will no doubt inspire many who, like Phil, have been injured doing what they love most - riding bikes.

Part of mastering image editing in Photoshop is learning how to save time with image manipulation tricks and useful tools. Here we share five hard-earned tips from professional designers that will help to put you on track to work more efficiently.
- Christmas offer: Save up to 47% on a subscription to Computer Arts magazine
01. Learn smart objects
"One of my top tips is to learn how to use Smart Objects," says Andrew Kitchener, junior designer at Ragged Edge. "Keeping things editable is the key – there's nothing worse than trying to edit a file that's all unnecessarily rasterised."
02. Get your shadows right
"With retouching and mock-ups, it's all about the shadows," adds Kitchener. "Drop shadows are handy and quick, but for 99 per cent of things, they're totally inaccurate. Always look at how light and shadows work on objects in real life, and try to apply that on-screen."
03. Manage your time
"The biggest mistakes you can make are bad timing estimation, lack of organisation and rushing the job," believes Elena Morán, a UX/UI designer at London digital agency atom42. "Every task has parts you won't enjoy as much as others. But don't neglect them in favour of the parts you do enjoy. Give each step its necessary importance, and you'll get there in the end," she advises.
04. Put in the hours
"Education gives you a solid foundation, but becoming skilful is a matter of time," says Morán. "You need hours and hours of practice until you are efficient. Nobody can skip that part of the journey. Working in a fashion-related company helped me a lot; there is so much image manipulation to do there!"
05. Ask questions
"Be patient," advises Harry Gahagan, a graphic designer at Centaur Media in London. "It can be really frustrating but you'll get the hang of it. Making mistakes and asking for help is the best way. Also, YouTube tutorials are very handy; you should bookmark videos and web pages so that you can go back to them."

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a wing-flapping robot that can fly and hover like a real dragonfly. The project originally began with a research grant of $1,000,000 from the US Air Force. Now, the team wants to bring the technology directly to homes as an affordable micro UAV, with the help of an ongoing Indiegogo project.
The TechJect Dragonfly is a palm-sized aerial drone that can hover like a quadrotor and fly with the speed of a traditional miniature fixed-wing aircraft. The team behind the robotic dragonfly say you'll be able to remotely control the drone though a phone or computer for uses like aerial photography, "advanced gaming," and security.
Aside from flying around, the Dragonfly also comes equipped with up to 20 environmental sensors, various cameras, and a GPS system for whatever airborne reconnaissance you need. It also comes with a fully customizable SDK to let you tinker around with apps for the robot.
As of this writing, you can still pick up an Alpha Noiseless Special Edition TechJect Dragonfly for $120. You can also upgrade to a higher-tier Dragonfly for additional customization options and upgraded parts.

Philadelphia practices with Ben Simmons as power forward, Shake Milton at point guard
It's been rumored for a while, and now it seems to be happening.
Philadelphia has been practicing with Ben Simmons playing power forward, coach Brett Brown told the media on a conference call from Orlando Monday. Joel Embiid added that Shake Milton has been playing point guard, which would add shooting and make the Sixers starters a more dynamic and dangerous lineup. That also means Al Horford would be coming off the bench.
Embiid had nothing but praise for Milton, via Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadephia:
"He's been amazing," he said. "He's been the starting point guard. I think he has a huge opportunity to help us accomplish what we believe we can. He's been doing an amazing job, just running the team, and we're going to need him to knock down shots, which he did before the league basically got shut down. He was on a roll. So we all need him to keep it going. But it's been great."
On paper, a lineup of Milton, Josh Richardson, Tobias Harris, Simmons, and Embiid should be a force — but it has played zero minutes together this season. A couple of weeks of practices and eight seeding games — ones treated more like an exhibition game than a regular-season game — may not be enough time to develop real chemistry.
Playing Simmons and Embiid as the frontline is the latest attempt to get their games to fit together. There remain doubters around the league the two can blend — unless Simmons can develop a reliable jump shot and three-point ball to space the floor — but the best chance may be to put three shooters around Simmons and Embiid. One of the three shooters needs to be a secondary shot creator. Maybe that can work, and for the rest of this season the Sixers can take notes on if this will work.
A healthy Philadelphia team — Simmons would have missed a lot of time heading into the playoffs with his back issue — is one of the dark horses in the East. If this team becomes as good on the court as it does on paper, if it can play like it's a home game and not a road game (the 76ers were 10-24 on the road), they have a chance. This lineup may give them the best chance.

Benefit From A Kaytek Retail Consulting Perspective
As middle class income levels rise in India, branding of products and services that were earlier sold as commodities is on the rise. In many product sectors, organized branding and retailing is on the increase.
Kaytek's Consulting Director has had Strategic Advisory Discussions with a Prospective Entrepreneur setting up a Chain of Branded Jewellery Retail Outlets in India.
Some thoughts to help understand the issues and questions in the future creation of a World-Class Jewellery Brand for Indian and global markets. are presented below.
Reputation, Honesty, Integrity, Custom-Jewellery Creation for International Class Quality Conscious Markets are a few of the organization's key strengths.
The idea of Retailing Jewellery in the Indian Market to be done in a Planned, Systematic Professional Fashion.
A Strong Professional Team and Performance Culture is being steadily built within the organization under the able guidance of Established 3rd Generation Entrepreneurs.
Very few Jewellery Exporters have succeeded in creating trusted Brands in India.
Even in the Export market, even though there are a large number of Indian exporters, mostly unbranded jewellery has been sold so far.
Jewellery customers get cheated even by reputed companies in India.
Kaytek believes that it is possible to create a World Class Jewellery Brand both for Indian and World Markets.
The Ratio of 70% - 30 % Margin Sharing in Developed Economies between Retail-Channel and Manufacturers will also be true for India in the future.
The Size of the Indian Jewellery Market is Large.
There are a few known organised national and regional brands like Arisia, Asmi, Gini, Nakshatra, Oyzterbay, Tanishq, etc.
It is expected that more foreign brands will enter the Indian market in the future either directly or via tie-ups with local Indian companies.
Kaytek can help the Organization in their Branding effort through Long-Term, Quality Consultancy Inputs based on our research and study.
We believe that the organization must work at projecting a Strong Uniform Consistent Global Brand Identity while leveraging their Tradition, Current Infrastructure and Skillsets to Mass markets.
The organization's brand name, domain name, logo and Key Jewellery Designs also must be protected worldwide under the international Intellectual Property - Copyright and Trademark mechanisms available.
Kaytek has done some initial research spadework on the Indian Jewellery Market to understand the same better.
Kaytek has prepared Comprehensive Retail Marketing Model and Competitive Analysis Frameworks for various industry verticals in India.
The same study would also be extended to select Jewellery retail outlets and the results of the same would be confidentially shared with the organization.

After Terrorist Attack in NYC, Latino Victory Fund Pulls Racist anti-Gillespie Ad
That didn't take long.
After intense backlash for their horribly racist ad, the Latino Victory Fund pulled an anti-Gillespie ad.
Ed Gillespie is the Republican Gubernatorial candidate in Virginia where an election will be held November 7.
Mike blogged Tuesday:
A new ad for the Virginia governor race shows a man in a truck with a Gillespie sticker and Confederate flag on it, chasing minority children who are running for their lives. Gillespie is the Republican candidate.
What's being implied in the ad is clear. The driver of the truck is a white Republican man who is trying to kill minority children by running them down.
The Latino Victory Fund was rightly chastised for the disgusting ad and Wednesday, the ad was pulled.
From the Richmond Times-Dispatch:
A Democratic-aligned advocacy group has canceled a controversial video showing a truck chasing down minority children after Tuesday's truck attack in New York City.
The Latino Victory Fund, the group behind the ad that depicted a pickup truck with a Confederate flag and a bumper sticker for GOP gubernatorial nominee Ed Gillespie, had come under fire from Republicans who said the ad implied that Gillespie supporters want to commit violence against children. The group hinted that the deadly New York attack was behind its decision to pull the ad from the internet.
"We knew our ad would ruffle feathers. We held a mirror up to the Republican Party, and they don't like what they see. We have decided to pull our ad at this time," said Cristóbal J. Alex, the group's president. "Given recent events, we will be placing other powerful ads into rotation that highlight the reasons we need to elect progressive leaders in Virginia."
Police in New York say a man in a rented pickup truck drove onto a bicycle path near the World Trade Center memorial Tuesday, killing at least eight people and seriously injuring 11.
"Ruffle feathers," is what you do when you get under someone's skin with something at least a little bit true. Portraying all white people as Confederate-sympathizing, brown skin-hating, imbeciles goes well beyond feather ruffling and into defamation.
The ad is no longer available on the group's YouTube channel, but can be viewed here. Just be sure to pop your blood pressure pills before viewing:

When the only thing keeping you above an unwelcome encounter with unseen terrain below is a single powerplant, you'd better know what you're doing. As our important follow-up to Part I, here are some additional rules to live by for single-engine night flight.
Systems Failure. Other systems failures, especially those involving the electrical system, can affect your flight instruments, engine gauges, landing gear and flaps.
- Monitor the ammeter or other electrical indicators for 'normal' operation, and terminate night flight any time you see an 'abnormal' indication.Watch for
- : Low voltage, erratic instrument readings, or the repeated requirement to 'reset' an alternator are all 'no go' items.
- Crosscheck your vacuum and other systems gauges also, and cancel night flight if you see an unusual indication.
- Know what powers which indicators, including the operation and monitoring of backup systems if available.
- Practice, emergency procedures and be ready to accomplish, the alternator failure, partial panel, and manual landing gear and flaps extension procedures on demand… and under stress.
Weather. You won't be able to see most adverse weather at night before you fly into it.
- Never fly at night without a thorough Flight Service (or 'official' equivalent) weather briefing. Period.
- Beware of visibility warnings like close or converging temperature/dew point spreads, low clouds and precipitation — snow showers also lower visibility to almost nil.
- Practice 'categorical outlook flying' — look at the weather 'category' (i.e., VFR, marginal VFR, IFR or Low IFR) and plan your flight accordingly.For daytime flying
- , if the weather is VFR, plan for a VFR trip. If the weather is MVFR plan
as if
- you're planning an IFR trip (routes, minimum altitudes for each segment of your trip, increased fuel reserves, etc.) and fly your VFR plan. FOR FLYING AT NIGHT, 'kick each category up a notch.'
For nighttime flying
- , plan a VFR trip as if you were planning for IFR, including routes, minimum altitudes for each flight segment, alternate airports and added fuel reserves.
WARNING: Don't even contemplate flying visually in MVFR at night. MVFR can and often does quickly deteriorate to IMC at night. You won't be able to detect the lowered conditions visually until you've encountered them.
Routes. 'Direct' might not always be the best choice at night.
- Plan shorter trip legs at night, terminating at larger airports where you'll be more likely to find more available resources should you need them — as well as get fuel for the next hop.
- Know if and when services are available at the airports you plan to fly into. FBOs close, and that 'quick hop' to the next 'nearby' airport might land you a permanent spot in the fuel exhaustion statistics.
- Plan your routes over low, flat terrain, and dogleg as necessary around large bodies of water or desolate stretches to keep airports within gliding distance as much as possible.
- Think of each airport you pass as a new go/no-go decision point — you can always land if fuel, engine indications or weather dictate, and the worst that'll happen is that you'll have to wait until morning for services at this new destination.
Communication. What your eyes can't see, your ears may hear.
- File a flight plan for night VFR cross-countries.
- Participate in Flight Following. Help — or at least someone who knows where to look for you if things go wrong — is available at the touch of a mic button.
- Get weather updates en route from AWOS, ASOS, HIWAS outlets and Flight Service Stations.
- File a Pilot Report to help the next pilot's decision-making.
Flight Kit. Much has been written about night-flying equipment, but never do without the basics:
- Keep spare flashlights, bulbs and batteries in your flight bag.
- Put your gear where you can reach it while you're strapped in the pilot's seat… it does you no good if it's in the baggage compartment.
- Arrange your charts and other gear before starting engines for a night flight. The night cockpit may quickly become a place of very serious business, arrange it accordingly.
Preflight Inspection. Develop your own 'night preflight checklist.' Include checks of:
- Internal and external lights.
- Operation of flashlights.
- Placement of charts
- and other items before engine start.
- Additional last-minute checks of fuel state, oil state, and engine/systems operation.
It sounds like a lot of work, but you have two options. Fly safe, or take unnecessary risks. In a nutshell: equip yourself, equip the airplane, know your systems, watch your fuel, respect the weather, plan your trip and fly your plan. Do so and you've removed most of the added risk of flying VFR at night — then, enjoy yourself!
BOTTOM LINE: All flying — all life — involves risk, and we need to accept some risk … but more so, we need to avoid unnecessary risk-taking. Carefully considered and conducted, visual night flight in single engine airplanes can be an acceptable, and an enjoyable, pursuit.

Business Law involves businesses. In general, Business Law deals with the formation of new businesses, the daily operations, its employees, and the issues that arise as existing businesses interact with the public, other companies, and the government.
This area of the law draws on a variety of legal disciplines, including Tax Law, Intellectual Property, Real Estate, Sales, Employment Law, Bankruptcy, Estate Planning, and others. Most Business Law Attorneys are proficient in transactional work and trial advocacy. In a perfect world, your business lawyer is often hired for the preemptive purpose of avoiding future litigation.
To fully understand the role of business law within the legal system, one must view businesses as entities separate from their owners and employees. Similar to individuals, business entities are subject to legal rules designed to protect employees, the public, and the marketplace.
Different types of business may be controlled by different types of laws. For example, Sales Contracts are controlled by and executed in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC).
New companies must take steps to comply with the law even before opening their doors for the first time. Business Law Attorneys are routinely asked to form new entities on behalf of their clients by filing the necessary documents with the Secretary of State. Clients may also need assistance choosing the business entity best suited for their needs.
Businesses can be formed as Corporations, Limited Liability Companies (LLCs), Partnerships, and Sole Proprietorships, among others. Most of these business forms can be further customized to meet the needs of the company. Examples include Corporations formed as "S-corps" in order to achieve tax savings, and Partnerships formed as "Limited Partnerships" to allow some owners to participate as investors only.
While the selection of the appropriate business entity will depend on numerous factors, the primary purpose of most entities is to shield owners from individual liability. Operating a business that is not set up to provide limited liability means that the owners are putting all of their personal assets within reach of the business's creditors. By working with an attorney at the inception of the business, individual exposure can easily be avoided.
It is usually recommended that your business attorney should draft the internal agreements that will control how a new company is managed, profits are distributed, or how employees are handled. Every business that has more than one employee should have a employee manual.
A few commercial transactions are within the ability of business owners to handle on their own. However, the best advice is to let professionals do what professionals do. You should focus on building a successful business while the attorney you work with should focus on protecting your business.
Even for savvy business people, problems can develop when emotions become involved. Attorneys can provide valuable insight into a transaction, not only because of their legal training, but also because of the objective nature of their analysis. This allows them to spot issues overlooked by business owners who may be too emotionally invested or busy to legal issues on the horizon.

The Setting: Propped up on pillows, sitting backwards on my bed, computer in lap, perpendicular to Hoosband who is soundly sleeping parallel to the headboard, I remain awake.
The Soundtrack: Sirens in the distance; vertical blinds agitated by the intensity of the AC; Hoosband's gentle breathing.
Steaming up the Oven: Yeah, right.
The Scenario: When I was little my parents kept some books in the hall bathroom...just in case someone got trapped in there, I guess. One of these books was titled Don't Sweat the Small Stuff...And it's all Small Stuff. I never read the book, but in my frequent gazes at its cover, I found its title wise and reassuring. I need that wisdom now.
Tonight, after two solid days of scouring the baby stores and the Internet, reading reviews, constructing and deconstructing pro-and-con lists with Hoosband, making up our minds and muddling them back up again, I want to wash my hands of the whole baby-product industry, put a firm pillow in the bottom of a laundry basket, call it a bassinet, and call it a day.
A few days ago we were quite excited to receive one of our most-wanted items from our baby registry, a (very expensive) BabyBjorn travel crib. We immediately examined it and were wowed by its excellently utilitarian design and the ease with which it could be popped up for use and broken down for storage or travel. I was thrilled and contented.
Then something sank in. This travel crib, essentially a playpen we were planning to use as the baby's bed, would be quite challenging for me to properly lift a newborn in and out of several times a day. With it's low bottom and high sides, I wasn't sure I could lift a 6-8-pound newborn out in any manor that could be considered to "cradle the head" or any other important baby-handling term.
Thus launched the hunt for the perfect "playard," apparently the term du jour for a collapsible crib/playpen.
We painstakingly came up with our criteria:
It must have a bassinet feature so that the newborn is easily accessible.
It must, I soon determined, have a detachable changing table because space is to us what fur is to a hairless cat, and the more functions we can fit into one unit, the better!
If it is going to be our only changing table, it must be sturdy and have convenient storage for diapers and diapering essentials.
Perhaps it should include an infant napper...many of the models feature these, so they must be useful, right?
After exhaustive searching, I thought I found one I liked, but I detested the Pepto-pink pattern and couldn't find the same model in a different color scheme.
I decided I didn't need an attached napper. I would get a Fisher-Price Rock N' Play Sleeper (launching an entire search into the dangers of newborns sleeping at an incline) to set up for kitchen/living room (daytime) naps and get a simpler playard with a changing table and diaper storage.
But maybe I didn't want one with a changing table after all. I could buy a changing pad (haven't figured out which one yet) and set it up on an existing dresser with drawers fully dedicated to baby.
So a simple, bare-bones playard with the elevated bassinet feature is all I would need.
Of course, I'd need one with a maximum weight capacity as high as possible so that little Ziggster can get maximum use out of the thing. Most of these max out at 25 pounds.
So perhaps I'd be better off just purchasing a legit convertible crib, wooden and attractive, that becomes a toddler bed when needed. Of course, I'd have to buy a mattress...and linens...and, sweet fetus, this is a lot of stuff!
Suddenly, in the fury of my searching, I became deeply concerned with the amount of toxins in all of the items I was preparing to purchase for my little one. Research into the matter is extremely unpleasant (HealthyChild.org, EWG.org). Did you know that basically everything is designed to kill your baby? I spent a few minutes looking for non-toxic baby gear in my price range before admitting defeat for the day.
I don't know if it can be attributed to the stress of these searches or the two sleeves of Thin Mints I consumed in as many days, but today for the first time in an otherwise belly-only pregnancy, my feet became so swollen the straps of my always-soothing Rainbow sandals began to dig into my flesh. My feet were like rounded clubs under the weight of my body.
Yesterday I had to remove my wedding rings, which only a month ago Hoosband suggested we have tightened (thank goodness we did not!), because my fingers became stubby little sausages overnight, and the skin beneath the rings became red and scaly from suffocation. I'll have to wear the rings on a necklace until the swelling goes down...or get used to the "tisk, tisk, tisk" and "what a shame" looks I've been receiving from the Costco shoppers and YMCA members who believe me to be (a very puffy) 15 and pregnant.
A friend told me today it looks like the baby is starting to bulge out of my sides.
So much for belly-only.
Oh well. Fully swollen and all-searched-out, for now I must attempt to gently reposition Hoosband so I can hit the sheets. Tomorrow I will attempt to remove salt from my diet to combat the sausage hands and attempt to hit the Internet once more with my search-efforts...if, that is, my fingers aren't too swollen to hit the keys.

Waiting for Ziggy
The Soundtrack: The Cosby Show.
Steaming up the Oven: Individual Amaretto Cheesecakes and a Porcini-Dusted Caramelized Onion and Goat Cheese Tart.
The Scenario: Having given up coffee once again (for the sake of the baby), I struggle to remain in an upright, eyes-open position as much as pregnantly possible.
My bouts of nesting are broken up by days spent almost exclusively in slumber, and bits of butter-smudged paper with shorthand-scribbled recipes waiting in purgatory to be typed up play hide-and-seek with the magazines, junk mail, and Wall Street Journals that compose the dilapidated structure of The Hovel.
Hoosband and I have had many productive cooking sessions in recent days, tapping the diverse South Floridian cultures to create our own versions of Cuban Ropa Vieja and Tostones and Caribbean Curried Goat.
We made an incredible key lime pie (thank you, Cooks Illustrated) with homemade graham crackers (recipe adapted from Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook) and delicious Kerrygold Irish butter in the crust, and we finally perfected our recipe for pumpkin muffins.
The cleaning, however, has come puttering to a stall on the shoulder of the road.
As the primary tow truck in town goes by the moniker of Caffeine, and I am trying to abstain, I pray I'll get a jump from the chair-yoga class I attended this morning and the chocolate chip cookie I just devoured.
Meanwhile, I try not to let the laundry or the dishes pile up too much, and I focus on naming my offspring.
Hoosband and I had decided on Ziggy Catalina, but after some reflection (and a phone call from family) he started getting shifty feet.
Now we are back to the fishing pond, where every name we pull out of the water is either too small to keep or so big it breaks our line...which is why we landed on Ziggy in the first place--it was the only thing we were able to fry up in a pan and devour for dinner.
I'm pretty sure that no matter what goes on her birth certificate, she will still be Ziggy to us.
Tonight, in between bites of tangy goat cheese and sweet, caramelized onions, as we cuddle on the loveseat to the tunes of Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical, we shall ponder Ziggy names and maybe, just maybe, get a little cleaning in before dessert.

What is a Special Needs Pet?
November 22, 2019
We have always held a special place in our hearts for the animals that need a little extra care. Special need animals are those animals that require special attention or care. They have some sort of physical, emotional or other type of disability. Some are just shy with strangers. Others have chronic, but minor health … More What is a Special Needs Pet?

Pr. Jaynan Clark
It seems that many are now very concerned about the "church." They are concerned that the "church" is in trouble.The "church" is losing its faith. The "church" is losing its foundation. The "church" is losing its voice. The "church" is losing its position. The "church" is losing its support. The "church" is losing its members. The "church" is losing. . . .
We vote because of the "church" and end up with winners and losers… not really.
Every time the Word of God as the only authority in your life and your faith is put up for a vote, we all-- as a cloud of witnesses-- stand to lose. The church of Jesus Christ, the true and hidden church is not at risk, never has been, never will be as even the gates of Hell cannot and will not prevail against it; however, the institution that prefers to be referred to as "church" is in trouble, as it should be. Let it vote itself out of existence-that is not our concern. After all, there are consequences for putting the Lord your God to the test, placing His Holy Word up for a vote and pretending to serve God and others when serving one's self. The day for pretending to be "good" church people is hopefully coming to an end and the new day for serving a rejected, despised, betrayed, crucified and risen Lord as His forgiven sinful children is upon us. Thank God!
For too long we have cared too much about "church" and too little for the Lord of the church. We have talked about "them" as "unchurched" when some of "them" have greater faith than the "churched" ever imagined. Unchurched isn't the problem; unbelief is and that runs rampant inside and outside the church. How patient has our good Lord been as we continue to organize the over organized in order to take committee action while conducting new "member" classes to try to fill our church pews and coffers? If you listen can you hear Him turn to you as He did to the original disciples in utter exasperation, "O unbelieving generation, how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me." These rather startling words come from the "real" Jesus from the Word of God, as the Word of God . He seems to be the kind that is most likely not impressed with our constitutions, our committees or our mission statements when they function to divert our eyes from the lost and stop up our ears to His simple directives and harsh criticism. After all, He was never portrayed as a big fan of the institutional church.
So, in the midst of today's world with its lack of faith, absence of hope beyond the now, worship of the self and the loss of truth, there are alarming consequences. Those consequences are in our face no matter where we look, are they not? Home, school, office, government, business, on the streets, in the churches and across the nation-evidence abounds that we have lost our footing because we have rejected our foundation and the cornerstone is now our stumbling block. As Jesus promised, He is after all the stone that the builders rejected and on whom we, at the very least, have stubbed our toe.
Perhaps as then, long ago, now He walks in the midst of us for the sake of the "other" not to be referred to as the unchurched but the unbeliever and says "bring them to me!" Perhaps He intends to continue to stir things up until the temple curtains tear, the walls tumble down and He alone remains as the cornerstone and stumbling block. If that is what it takes to wake us up from our slumber and get us focused on matters of faith and unbelief not church and attendance then so be it!
In their suffering, the lost sheep are silently and hopelessly longing to meet a disciple who is real, not a church member who is not. They wonder if we care about their life, their family, their unforgiven sin or if we just want to boost our numbers and fill our pews. They are suspect of those who are paid to tell them about Jesus and therefore they wait for the "unprofessional" disciples to deliver to them the real Jesus of the Bible. They want no more of the professional preachers who debate if He is even relevant today. Sick and tired of pretenders and fixers and platitudes, whether aware of it or not, they hope for disciples and a Savior that "gets it". Those who "believe in God but. . . .. " just can't take one more representative-well versed but unbelieving. They hope for a real, sinful, repentant, forgiven child of God to come on the scene of their life not because they are so good but because He is.
The "real" seems to be missing in action in not only the church but across today's world. A world of computer animation and photoshop and every form of grand illusion that the mind can invent adds only to the facade. If the church of Jesus Christ is also a western storefront with nothing behind it, just another fake, this they do not need and neither does the "real" Jesus. Listen to Him as he calls to you and asks. . . . will you stop worrying about the church and getting people into the church or to go to the church or to join the church or to finance the church and care if they believe in me?
The problem isn't that they are "unchurched" it is that they are unbelievers, they are sheep without a flock who do not know who their Good Shepherd is. They are God's own children whose faces are not on milk cartons but on our very wine bottles and bread bags. Missing, unaccounted for, as we gather around our tables arguing about who can preside at His table. They are those who will never darken the doors of these so called churches because they do not know who the real Jesus is and those in the pews don't seem to either.
"Church" is the gathering that should result from receiving the gift of faith, becoming a believer and being called to be a disciple and therefore wanting to congregate with other like believers to share that common faith and make more disciples. Church is a result of making disciples, the consequence for taking Jesus at His Word and delivering Him over to other sinners so He can miraculously forgive them, free them and transform their lives from "theirs" to His.
Let's be real--He is!

Heed the words of sage Maggie Gyllenhaal, who politely reminded People Stylewatch that her hair does not exist solely make her husband happy. Asked what husband Peter Sarsgaard thinks of her new crop, she said, "I think the way he feels about me really does not have a lot to do with my hair and I'm really incredibly grateful for that." That's kind of the opposite of what Michelle Williams said about her pixie cut — that she "cut it for the only straight man who ever liked short hair" and wears it "in memorial of somebody who really loved it."

We decided to transform ourselves for the post-COVID era and the first thing we realised during the transition was that our data was scattered over multiple excel files and with multiple people. We decided to invest in a CRM that would be easy for our team to use. We researched on various CRMs and tried some of them. Bigin suited our basic requirement as it was easy to use, cost effective and provided us with simple dashboards.

In an Independent editorial entitled 'The Fabian Alternative', Fiona Rotheram asks 'Can a new left-wing policy forum incite widespread public debate on economic and. social issues':
'Among the guests at a recent Auckland event staged by the right-wing think tank, the Business Roundtable, businessman Selwyn Pellett seemed an odd invitee.
He's one of the founding members of the traditionally left wing-associated New Zealand Fabian Society, launched this week to stir up public debate on our economic future. He's also behind the Productive Economy Council, a group of business people who want to see New Zealand return to the upper end of the OECD in terms of GDP per capita but don't subscribe to our current economic policies.
Perhaps the Roundtable subscribes to the old adage about keeping your friends close and your enemies even closer.
Finance Minister Bill English and Roundtable chairman and head of Ernst & Young Rob McLeod both gave rousing off-the-record speeches at the Roundtable do. Oddly enough, Pellett agreed with just about everything McLeod said about New Zealand's economic woes and that Prime Minister John Key needs to start taking more action on the policy front. Where McLeod and Pellett differ is on the solutions needed.
"The principle here is that we don't care about left and right, what we care about is right and wrong policies," Pellett says. He and the other 100 or so New Zealand Fabian Society members argue while there is general consensus that our economic future is precarious - our exports too low, our debt too high, and our relative standard of living in decline - the public debate has for many years been limited to the solutions of the neo-liberal right."We've had sound bite politics for the past 20 years where people vote on things when they don't understand the issues and it gets reduced to 'this soundbite sounds better than that one'," Pellett says.
Which is why the Society is kicking off a seminar and lecture series next week in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. Entitled 'Bold ideas for a better future', the first seminar is themed on building a resilient economy and features BERL economist Ganesh Nana, media commentator and Sunday StarTimes columnist Rod Oram, John Walley from the Manufacturers'and Exporters' Association, and Pellett.The lecture series will focus on tax and budget issues.
Fabian Societies have been previously active in New Zealand, though not for the past 40 years or so, says chairman Mike Smith (former Labour Party secretary until he retired last September). One former member was William Pember Reeves, the Liberal MP who introduced the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act 1894 - the world's first compulsory system of state arbitration (see box story on other famous Fabians).
The Fabian Society started inthe late 19th century as a British intellectual socialist movement, aimed at advancing social democracy principles through evolution rather than revolution.The British society laid the foundations of the Labour party and today is a vanguard think tank of the New Labour movement. In Australia, the Fabian Society founded there in 1947 is that country's oldest political think tank. It also has strong Labour party links, with Gough Whitlam said to have adopted the Fabian approach from the day he entered Parliament. One US commentator (see Americanthinker.com) has also alluded to Barack Obama's administration as the triumph ofthe Fabians because today's Democratic Party has embarked on a course to "remake" America. Smith and Pellett reckon the New Zealand Society will be independent of the local Labour Party."We don't want that and we will be a lot less aligned [than elsewhere] but progressive policy, by its nature, always comes from Left people who want to change things while Conservatives want to keep things as they are," Pellett says. Smith reckons it is not politicalv iewpoints or ideology that matters. "Everyone involved so far cares about what is happening to New Zealand and thinks there needs to be broader debate, and so do I. "They stop short of calling the new group a think tank because it hasn't got the funding (members pay only $20 to join) for in-depth research. Rather their motto is''inciting debate - Wero 0 te ahi".As Pellett says, getting people to debate issues with you is the fastest way to learn whether your arguments are weak or not. It's hard to argue with that.

Diamond Rio was formed in the early 1980's in Nashville, Tennessee. The band released their debut single, "Meet in the Middle," in the early 1990's after signing to Arista Records, and it immediately shot to the top of the country charts, making Diamond Rio the first country group to place a debut single at the top of the charts. Since that auspicious beginning, Diamond Rio has placed a staggering thirty-two singles on the country charts and the band is still going strong.
Diamond Rio's talented members – Gene Johnson, Brian Prout, Marty Roe, Jimmy Olander, Dan Truman, and Dana Williams – have brought their unique blend of country rock, bluegrass, and neo-traditionalist country music to give audiences a series of award-winning albums and singles. After their debut album, Diamond Rio (1991), they released: Close to the Edge (1992), Love a Little Stronger (1994), IV (1996), Unbelievable (1998), One More Day (2001), Completely (2002), and The Reason (2009), the latter of which brought Diamond Rio into the contemporary Christian genre. The albums spawned the hit singles, "Norma Jean Riley," "In a Week or Two," "Love a Little Stronger," "Walkin' Away," "How Your Love Makes Me Feel," "Unbelievable," "One More Day," "Beautiful Mess," and "I Believe."
For their achievements thus far, Diamond Rio has been recognized with a innumerous awards, including: Top Vocal Group (Academy of Country Music, twice awarded); Vocal Group of the Year (Country Music Association, four times awarded); Country Album of the Year (GMA Dove Award); and Best Southern, Country or Bluegrass Gospel Album (Grammy.) The group continues to perform and record with its original lineup and recently left their label, Word Records, in 2014. A new era of independent music was launching, starting with the album I Made It (2015.)

BODIES IN URBAN SPACES is a performance concept created by austrian choreograph Willi Dorner. The dancers involved run to different specific sites and into positions, and stay still for the audience to discover, in this way its like an art museum where you walk with a guide in the city but finding the bodies with your own awareness. BODIES IN URBAN SPACES has been performed more than 40 times all over the world.
We performed BODIES IN URBAN SPACES during the film festival MACHINE-RAUM in Vejle.

As a former two-time NDP candidate in Clayton Park West, and a past Executive Director of the NSGEU, I am pleased to offer my endorsement in the 2017 provincial election to Paul Kimball, the Progressive Conservative candidate in Clayton Park West. Paul has the progressive values, real-world experience, and commitment to public service needed to best represent the constituency.
As an award-winning filmmaker who began his career in government where he administered the film tax credit, Paul has been a passionate and vocal advocate for the film industry for twenty years. But his public service extends far beyond his own industry. It includes a term at Dalhousie Legal Aid when most of his fellow law students were taking corporate law courses, the founding of the Festival of Hope to raise money and awareness for the Nova Scotia AIDS Coalition when he was a musician in the 1990s, and work over the years with a wide range of community youth organizations and school groups.
Paul is open-minded, with a proven ability to work with others in a cooperative manner in order to achieve the best outcomes. Most important, he is deeply committed to the progressive reform of our government so that it works for all Nova Scotians, and not just a privileged few.
In short, Paul is exactly the kind of progressive representative that the residents of Clayton Park West need in the years to come. I will be working to help elect him on May 30th so that he can serve as a true progressive voice for Clayton Park West.
Linda Power
Linda Power served as the Executive Director with the Nova Scotia Government & General Employees Union (NSGEU) from 2003 to 2009, and was the NDP candidate for Halifax Clayton Park in the 2006 and 2009 Nova Scotia elections.

Pro-Am Snooker - 2017 Italian Snooker Open
27th-29th January 2017 / Bolzano, Italy
Current main tour professional Martin O'Donnell claimed the 2nd Italian Snooker Open this past weekend in Bolzano.
Perhaps you may not associate Italy with having a snooker heritage, but in recent times the country has started to stage structured events such as this and a national championship.
Englishman O'Donnell was the only active professional in the field with amateurs representing the host nation, Austria, Germany, Iran, Pakistan and Switzerland also taking part.
O'Donnell qualified from his round robin group to make the Last 16 knock-outs. There he beat Jan Egermann (Austria) 3-1, Norbert Eckstein (Germany) 3-0, Jurgen Kesseler (Germany) 3-1 to reach the final.
He would meet the in-form former Q-School graduate Alexander Ursenabcher (Switzerland) in the final.
Ursenbacher earlier in the month made a 147 maximum break on his way to winning the International 3 Kings Open in Austria.
However, O'Donnell won the match 3-2 after Ursenbacher had forced a decider having been 1-0 and 2-1 down.
The champion took the 1,000Euros first prize; he also made the tournament's highest break with an effort of 118.
For more information, and the full results, please visit the Italian Snooker website here.

The Flatliners have announced tour dates to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their classic sophomore LP "The Great Awake". They will be joined each night by A Wilhelm Scream, who will also be celebrating the ten year anniversary since their release of Career Suicide". Check out the dates below.
Frontman Chris Cresswell said:
"We can't believe it, but it's been 10 years since we released our album The Great Awake…All the way back then, we fired off a message to one of our favourite bands – A Wilhelm Scream – on MySpace (yes… MySpace…) asking them to join us for our record release shows. They obliged, and subsequently embarrassed us on stage every night with their incredible level of musicianship and overall presence.

Bloober Team is proud to announce the launch of BRAWL as a PlayStation 4 exclusive for $19.99! BRAWL updates classic Bomberman-like gameplay with MOBA elements, twisted characters, and a blood-soaked atmosphere not too far from Hellraiser.
Like any good party game, BRAWL features a variety of multiplayer modes that can be enjoyed with up to four friends sharing a couch together or challenging each other online: a classic Versus mode, Color Domination (akin to Splatoon), Sumo mode (where players push each other off the map), Sheep mode (you and your friends must protect a flock of sheep from waves of minions), and many more. No matter what mode you go for, you'll be on the edge of your seat at all times – frantically placing bombs while trying to outmaneuver (and trap) the competition… then blow them to bits.
"We wanted to make BRAWL the ultimate party game for the PS4," says Piotr Babieno, CEO of Bloober Team. "There aren't many party games on the PS4 right now, and we hope to give gamers a reason to invite a bunch of friends over and game together again. We know we screwed up big time with Basement Crawl, and this is our chance to make things right. Anyone who bought Basement Crawlwill receive BRAWL free of charge!"
Each character in BRAWL's creepy roster has a unique single-player campaign narrated by Erik Braa of The Walking Dead fame. The goal? To escape the mysterious Emporium and its maniacal master – defeating hordes of minions intent keeping you there… or much, much worse. Not all minions are the same, though: some carry shields or have special abilities (like eating bombs!). When minions aren't enough to get the job done, be prepared to face terrifying boss battles.
All characters also have unique abilities, including an ultimate attack that is guaranteed to shake things up and rearrange the scoreboard. Even the maps in BRAWL are out for blood: booby traps and environmental hazards are always ready to send players to an early grave.
BRAWL is now on sale on PSN for $19.99. Anyone who purchased the original Basement Crawl will be able to download BRAWL free of charge from the PlayStation Store.

This work is conducted in memory and respectfully honours the First Australian People,
the Aboriginal People of this land.
The following is a brief outline of the 3D digitisation process used by staff, students and volunteers at the UON's GLAMx Digitisation Lab. The process uses Artec 3D SPIDER Professional Handheld 3D Scanner and software.
Several Aboriginal artefacts from the Deep Time Project have been 3D scanned and are available to view at the livinghistories@uon (Click on item you want to look at and then on 'View 3D Model' symbol on Left pane) More about the Aboriginal artefacts that were located in Newcastle West during an archaeological investigation see Aboriginal Archaeology Report of former Palais site released.
Place artefact on wooden board for scanning, Scan one side (1st scan) then scan the opposite side (2nd scan).
Erase the wooden base by selecting 'BASE SELECTION' (PRESS Ctrl + curser on a section you want to delete and wait for base to turn 'red') then press ERASE.
Select 2D to tidy up around the edges, press curser and move over section that needs deleting – enlarge the section by scrolling mouse.
Repeat on 2nd scan. SAVE each scan and make DUPLICATES
3. Go to TOOLS– run FINE REGISTRATION on each scan– press APPLY
4. Go to ALIGN– select AUTOALIGN, if unsuccessful use NEW PAIR. To separate the scans in order to manipulate/move press SHIFT key + both sides mouse. Generally 8 points (4 each scan) are required. To move scan to align with second scan press SHIFT key and RIGHT mouse to manipulate and move one half of scan into place.
When scan is positioned and aligned with second scan click NEW PAIR and place a point on area of alignment (double clicking to set point), and place second point on other scan in the position that you think best aligns. Place points in several locations that match up and press ALIGN – APPLY – SAVE.
5. Go to TOOLS – Apply run GLOBAL REGISTRATION and press APPLY. Repeat similar with OUTLIER REMOVAL and SHARP FUSION – go to MESH SIMPLIFICATION reduce to 30 000 (make sure 'Triangle Quantity' is shown) press APPLY and SAVE project.
6. Go to TEXTURE – To add colour and texture to the 3D scan, go to MENU, select the 2 previous scans (and final aligned scan). Go to TEXTURE and here you can re-check the correct scans are shown (as shown in Left panel).
7. Make sure 'export' is ticked. Click APPLY.
8. Go to EDITOR – select POSITIONING TOOL – place 3 points on what you think is the base of the 3D scan and apply, you can also invert the image if not positioned properly on grid. SAVE project.
10. FILE – EXPORT MESHES – 3 new files (a 'mtl' , 'obj', 'jpeg' files) that will been created/saved in project folder. Make sure that "Save as type" at the bottom the Export Meshes dialog. is set to .obj to get your .obj, .jpg and .mtl. A new window will open 'Model texture format', make sure the JPEG option is chosen. Press export and this will save 3 files (a 'mtl', 'obj', 'jpeg' files) in the project folder.
11. Open project folder on Desktop and create 'Export' folder cut-paste 'mtl' , 'obj', 'jpeg' files into this folder then these 3 files (3D scan) are ready to be uploaded to Recollect – Livinghistories@UON. This 3D artefact can be VIEWED HERE

This is about Gideon Bibles being put in people's rooms that they live in, in Universities.
Firstly, we could discuss the dilemma faced by those wondering whether Aberystwyth actually "has" a university.
But perhaps this would be slightly below the belt as we are not just here discussing the volume-based-degradation of the "University Concept". Aberystwyth is a fine town, and there seems to be a university there. We'll see about that later on.
But in the meantime, the "Universitas" is an essentially West-European-Christian institution; and it is therefore by definition nothing whatsoever to do with post-modern GramscoFabiaNazi fads and their inevitable resulting pogroms. These pogroms, being essentially atavistic, zombie-raised and anti-liberal and pre-capitalist-barbarian phenomena, ought to be isolated and quarantined in the first instance by shutting-down almost all Western "universities".
It's sad, and I'm sorry, but if the "guv'nors" of all those 645,675,497 "universities" had been awake, then this _shut-down_ act would not be necessary. It's however necessary to turn out the "teachers" and the "students" into the real world, to see if _any of them are any good at anything _ . I'm not trying to out-do Pol Pot; merely to show how wrong the bastard was.
Here, the real issue is about overturning established tradition for the wrong reasons.
Secondly, nobody is forcing _'students'_ at Aberystwyth to read anything whatsoever, let alone any copies of the Bible that might be left lying about in drawers and stuff. They can simply ignore it, and the problem if there was one, would simply go away as the thing got covered with PowerPoint-printouts of lecture-notes etc.
Thirdly, WE SAY, to two groups of people:
(a) The White Ethnic British GramscoFabiaNazis, and
(b) Offended Moslems*** and "others" :-
Now look here, dudes. We made this world as it is with our own hands and minds. …You lot _did nothing_ . It functions like it does because _we made it_ and not you. If you like it and use it as it is, and you do – because we see that you do – , then live within it and respect the others here.
If you don't like this world as we made it, then you can leave and find another one. Nobody will hinder you on your travels.
*** This begs the question as to whether any, or even many, British Moslems are offended by bibles in people's University rooms.

New study finds more than a third of Alaska's children live in poverty
(App users, to view the interactive data visualization, follow this
Data is sourced from the KIDS COUNT Data Center. Recently released was their full report for
Use the interactive data visualization, above, to:
• Examine the percent change in Alaska's regional child population, from 2001 and 2015.
• Examine where Alaska's children lived regionally in 2016, between the ages of 0 to 19.
• Compare the regional percentages of children who live in families with incomes below the Federal Poverty Level – using a five-year estimate from 2011 through 2015.
• And examine Alaska's differences between median family incomes by race and ethnicity, from 2015.
A recent study shows 58,000 of Alaska's children are living in households with a high housing cost burden relative to their parent's income, and more than 26,000 live in families with incomes below the federal poverty level according to newly released data.
Published by the Alaska Children's Trust, the 2018 Kids Count report measures the overall well-being of Alaska's children using multiple sources of data from the previous calendar year.
Andrew Cutting, Program Fellow for Alaska Children's Trust, said disproportionately high housing costs can have a lasting impact on children.
"You should not spend more than 30 percent of your budget on housing and a lot of families are spending half their budget on that," Cutting said.
According to the annual report card, 13,000 children in Alaska have at least one parent who is actively looking for work, and 10,000 children live in high poverty neighborhoods.
The report finds that in 2017, 20 percent of Alaska's children lived in homes without enough food.
Kim Kovol, Deputy Director for Children's Lunchbox -- a program run by Bean's Cafe -- said they organization provides around 3,000 bags of food to children at Title I schools serving low income communities.
Kovol said in many families, the parents are working full time or looking for work, and are trying to make tough decisions between paying for gas, electricity, or putting food on the table.

I've never been to a sing-along Sound of Music, but apparently audience etiquette requires pantomime booing of the Nazis. More than a few attendees at the opening night of Opera Australia's new production of Tosca responded in a similar fashion at the curtain call, and it had nothing to do with a generally excellent performance. For yes, there were Nazis. In the light of recent controversies (which include the cancellation of a Nazi-themed Tannhäuser in Düsseldorf in May of this year), yet another invocation of the 20th century's bogeymen-in-chief might sound a bit tired, almost clichéd. And yet, on this occasion it wasn't gratuitous; rather, it was part of a clever interpretation of Puccini's beloved opera which rendered the familiar story all the more affecting.
Directed by Australian Living Treasure John Bell (of the Bell Shakespeare theatre company), the action of the opera was brought forward from the Napoleonic era to World War II Rome. Aside from a couple of out-of-place references to Bonaparte, the basic drama of love, loyalty and betrayal transferred seamlessly into the new context. In fact, it arguably gained by the change: fascist Europe is still part of our cultural memories in a way that pre-Risorgimento Italy is not. The appearance of goons with Nazi banners in Act I induced a momentary shock, and the final tableau in this act, in which, successively, the soldiers, boy scouts, "ordinary" people and finally the coped clergy gave the fascist salute, was genuinely disturbing. In Act II, Mario's defiance of his captors took the form of tearing down one of the Swastika decorations, and this was later used by Tosca to cover the dead Scarpia (a clever use of the "crooked cross" in place of the usual crucifix).
A special word of commendation is due to the design team headed by Michael Scott-Mitchell. The verisimilitude of the Act I set – a Baroque church interior – was simply staggering. Those for Acts II (an interior with a neoclassical feel to it à la Albert Speer) and III (the interior of a prison camp surmounted with barbed wire) were scarcely less impressive. Another inspired piece of business during the instrumental section near the start of the final act saw a number of yellow-star-wearing Jews manage to bribe their way out of the prison. There was no final salto mortale for Tosca (the wire put paid to that), but she took control of her fate, turning to face the soldiers who shot her down. The curtain fell on the sight of her dangling limply from the barbed wire. For once, we had an Opera Australia production in which there was not much blood: even Scarpia's murder was understated, almost tasteful.
Of the principals, Yonghoon Lee as Cavaradossi demonstrated power and tenderness, especially in his top register, and both his Act I duet with Tosca and the famous "E lucevan le stelle" were highlights. In the title role, Alexia Voulgaridou was also impressive in the higher regions, and emoted satisfactorily. Unfortunately, John Wegner, in the role of Scarpia, was clearly under the weather, and was vocally subdued. Nonetheless, he managed to convey a suitable atmosphere of menace through his very stillness. Michael Honeyman, as Sciarrone, had a decided edge over his fellow Nazi officer Graeme Macfarlane as Spoletta. The young Dominic Grimshaw was a touching "Shepherd Boy", a role reimagined as one of the waiting Jewish captives who escapes in Act III. The Sacristan, John Bolton Wood, had some nice comic business in the first act.
The orchestra under Christian Badea had several nice moments – the end of the Act I duet had the proper palm-court sweep to it, and the offstage instruments playing the cantata in Act II were well-coordinated. Perhaps it was where I was sitting, but I felt that the harp sound carried particularly well. Against these positives, there were moments where the divisi cellos didn't always lock in during the lead-up to "E lucevan", and the horns at the beginning of Act III didn't have any resonance. This last wasn't the players' fault – the pit seems to have very little resonance, which appears to affect some instruments more than others, maybe because of where they are placed.
Having seen Verdi's La forza del destino the previous week, I was struck at how dramatically taut Tosca is by contrast. Not only is it shorter, but the brief time-span over which the events unfold gives the drama much more momentum. The dramatic irony at the ending, where we as audience suspect what Tosca is blithely unaware of, and then her breakdown as she swiftly becomes undeceived: all this is melodramatic theatre at its best. Famously described by the musicologist Joseph Kerman as a "shabby little shocker", the current production proves that the story still retains its power to move.

Road to NPA Nationals March 1-4 — AJ Lawson, Shyheim Malcolm, Elijah Fisher, Hafith Moallin + more!
The Road to Nationals is now!
The NPA National Championship is just around the corner. This year, Nationals will be held at Sheridan College in Brampton, ON from MAR 1-4
Session 2: The New Year Challenge showed who will be ready to standout at Nationals and many interesting storylines to watch out for.
The NPA New Year Challenge was a spectacular showcase of very high level basketball. There was some breakout performances including Brandon Muntu's multiple 30+ point games helping Halifax Prep earn their first W in the NPA. Franco Miller became a household name with a 31 point Mic'd Up performance against LBA and Kellen Tynes emerging as one of the league's top point guards.
The most highly anticipated game of season 2 did not disappoint. The defending National Champions, Canada TopFlight vs. Central Tech went down to the final possession. The CT Blues came away with a huge win after Deiondre Reid swatted an Atik Gilao layup attempt at the buzzer.
With the champs finally being defeated after an 18 game win streak in the NPA, they will be hungry to get revenge at Nationals.
Now enjoy all the incredible highlights from the New Year Challenge and get ready for Nationals!

text: Hongkongers have long bemoaned the city's dearth of authentic, regional Mexican food. And so in June, Black Sheep Restaurants (behind hotspots Chom Chom, Belon, Ho Lee Fook and others) opened Taqueria Super Macho, a turquoise-splashed restaurant on Bridges Street inspired by the friendly, fuss-free taquerias lining the streets of Baja and Jalisco. The seafood-centred menu focuses on tacos, ceviche and small plates, which diners can dress up with salsas, jalapeños and limes served from small ramekins. Don't forget to wash it all down with a Corona-rita, a cocktail made from Mexico's most famous lager.
