Together Loves – Kate Sylvester "Electric Dreams"
For Autumn Winter '18 Kate Sylvester presents Electric Dreams, a homage to neo-noir classic 'Blade Runner'. Kate Sylvester's gang of replicants personify Ridley Scott's dystopian sci-fi future where a dark and brooding Los Angeles is alight with neon glow.
Inspired by Blade Runner's '80s futurism, electric colour sits alongside tough neutrals of khaki, nude and moody blue. 1940s silhouettes pay tribute to the femme fatale with neat waists and strong shoulders. Stockings peek out from waistbands to reveal a band of bold colour and ankle boots pop in optic white and red.
Suiting is elevated in a galactic silver lurex dress and sharp two-piece with a glinting gold button. The replicant Rachel is celebrated, wrapped in a luxe husky fur coat with an enveloping collar and a high frequency lace strapless dress. Injections of luxe velvet in bright green and cobalt blue and a scale like lashes sequin is extra-terrestrial, glittering in the dark.
A billowing oriental print in vibrant red nods to Bladerunner's Eastern influence. and a romantic blue Chinoiserie silk is toughened up with a striking leather corset belt. Science fiction maribou trims tickle up the neck on fur scarves and line the cuffs and hems of silk dresses.

The Mets begin their 50th anniversary season Thursday amid modest expectations befitting a squad with thin starting pitching, shaky defense and Jason Bay in the middle of the lineup, but if everything goes right, they might also be fun to watch too. I'm optimistic of a good start at any rate. It's the Mets' 50th season and MBTN's 13th.
As I'm sure you all know by now, the banged up foursome of Andres Torres, David Wright, Scott Hairston and Tim Byrdak all healed in time to answer the bell and comprise a squad of 25 we probably could have predicted back in December. It's further encouraging to see Ike Davis and Johan Santana are among them.
And so today we welcome the returnees back, and the new ones the best of luck. Officially joining the All-Time Numerical Roster for the first time are players Andres Torres 56, Ronny Cedeno 13, Frank Francisco 48, Ramon Ramirez 52 and Jon Rauch 60; and coaches Bob Geren 7, Ricky Bones 25, Tom Goodwin 26 and batting practice pitcher Eric Langill 78. Returning in new numbers are Mike Nickeas, now wearing 4; Tim Teufel, now coaching and wearing No. 18 and bullpen catcher Dave Racianello, in 79. I'll be updating the rosters shortly please let me know if you come across any errors.
Let's Go Mets! Anything can happen!

A rate of return on a real estate investment property based on the expected income that the property will generate. Capitalization rate is used to estimate the investor's potential return on his or her investment. This is done by dividing the income the property will generate (after fixed costs and variable costs) by the total value of the property. If you want to get technical, it is basically the discount rate of a perpetuity.
Cap Rate Definition
Year 1 NOI = Cap Rate
Capitalization rate is a good jumping-off point to quickly compare many investment opportunities, but it should not be the sole factor in any real estate investment decision. Many more factors need to be looked at such as the growth or decline of the potential income, the increase in value of the property, and any alternative investments available.
For information on Capitalization Rates refer to this Wikipedia reference.

These days, I have been day dreaming quite a lot. I was sitting in the Banjo conference room to attend a session on the Architecture of Diablo Alto, which is the latest 20nm FPGA of Xilinx. I was listening to the lecture but my thoughts were all on Girish. I had spoken to him in the morning, and his voice was still ringing in my ears. After the session, I went back to my desk at work, still thinking about him, and smiling. I really doubt if I remember anything about Diablo Alto!!! This has been going on from the past couple of months. I have been screwing up lot of things at home, especially the kitchen. I ended up burning dosa in the kitchen yesterday.
Girish, Girish, Girish… I have been thinking about him, all the time. Sometimes I even see him in my dream. As we are part of different time zones, if it's 4 30 PM for me when it's 6 AM for him. I wait for him to wake up every single day, to talk to him, or at least leave a message on Whatsapp. I am in love with him!!!!
Girish is one of the most wonderful persons I have ever met. He is soft-spoken, jovial and practical minded. He is a down to earth, generous and believes in a simple living. He motivates me in my professional life and respects my individuality. I am so lucky to have a husband who is so much loving, caring and supportive.
Myself and Girish had a different opinion on various aspects of life. For example, I am a vegetarian, while he is a non vegetarian. I believe in God while he is an atheist. As opposites attract, I felt that marriage is not about sharing same views on different aspects of life, but respecting each other's views.
Relationships also give an opportunity to discover oneself. Probably, that is the reason, why a life partner is called soul-mate, or a reflection of oneself, as he or she knows you better than anyone else in the world. After a long time, I have found the happiness in life, and it's because of him. Girish is truly my soul-mate and We are so happy with each other.!!!!
The wedding is on 22nd February, and we are really excited to start a new life together. I will also post the wedding website, once it is ready.

FIRE equipment group Kidde yesterday said a solid order book and a stronger outlook for aerospace products will counter challenging industrial markets this year.
Reporting figures for the six months to June 30, Kidde said sales growth had resumed along with operating profits in some divisions, despite difficult trading conditions in certain sectors.
The Slough company, which employs around 8,000 people, said sales had risen 3.5% to £429m in the half, helping lift profits above City expectations to £41.4m before tax and interest charges. Analysts had forecast profits of £34m.
The news follows an upbeat June trading update. Since the start of the year, the group's order book has grown by 8%.
Kidde's safety-related products have helped its aerospace activities weather the civil aviation downturn, alongside the growth in military aviation markets, where the company makes parts for the F-18 and F-22 jet fighters.
Also, the US residential business has been robust, helped by safety awareness campaigns and marketing.
On the downside, industrial fire protection markets have been mixed, with falling demand from power generation, telecoms and fire brigades.
Chief executive Michael Harper said, "With the North American economy improving, we expect to achieve organic growth in the full year."
At the bottom line, pre-tax profits more than doubled to £27.2m from £12.8m in the first half of 2002, when Kidde was forced to incur legal expenses of £14.5m.
Shareholders will get an interim dividend of 0.89p a share, up from 0.85p.

The Erection of the Ka'bah
Heidi Mahmoud Kheyamy
22 Jan 2018
The Ka'bah was reported to have been built for the first time by the angels, after which the reconstruction of the Ka'bah was undertaken more than once. The first rebuilding began when Adam re-erected it. Then it was reconstructed by Ibrahim and Ismael (PBUTh). During Jahiliyah, the Period of Ignorance which preceded the revelation of Islam to the prophet, Quraish rebuilt the Ka'bah and the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) participated in this event.
The tribes of Quraish at that time wanted to build a roof for the Ka'bah as it was a mere arrangement of stones with no mortar. It was not very high, enabling thieves to steal its treasures which were in a well inside the building.
Quraish had previously used the wood of a shattered ship belonging to a Roman merchant, to make the roof for the Ka'bah. But people were afraid to pull the Ka'bah down, until Al-Walid bin Al-Mughirah encouraged them by starting to pull it down himself. After they saw that nothing happened to him, they helped him pull it down. The tribes of Quraish collected stones to rebuild the Ka'bah but when it came to putting the black stone in its place, they started to argue. Every tribe wanted the honor of putting the black stone in its place. They were about to fight, when they finally agreed to let the first man who would enter through the Al-Safa gate of to resolve the problem. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was the one who entered through the gate, so they said: "This is the trustworthy Muhammad, we accept his judgment." They told him the problem and he asked for a cloak and put the black stone on it. Then he said: "let every leader of each tribe hold an edge of the cloak, so you may all lift it together." They followed his instructions and when they reached the place of the black stone, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) put it in its place himself.
Nearly a decade later, when Abdullah bin Az-Zubair refused to pledge allegiance to Yazid bin Mu'awiyah, he took refuge in Makkah. When Yazid got wind of this, he sent an army to arrest him. The army under the command of Al-Husain bin Numair moved to Makkah in 64 AH (After Hijrah) and fought Ibn Az-Zubair for a few days. During the war, Ibn Az-Zubair and his companions erected a barricade around the Ka'bah. There were many tents around the Ka'bah, which was covered by cloth, and when one of the tents caught fire, the Ka'bah was ravaged by the fire. The Makkans and the Syrians were petrified. Ibn Az-Zubair sent some people from Quraish and other tribes to tell Al-Husain that Yazid had passed away, and he told them to ask him: "Why are we still fighting?" "Go back to Syria and see what will happen regarding the new caliph." The people tried to convince him to approve, and finally he agreed and went back to Syria.
On the fifth of Rabi'ul-Akhir 64 AH Ibn Az-Zubair assembled with the nobles and leaders of the tribes to discuss pulling down the Ka'bah. Most of the people opposed the decision. Ibn Az-Zubair spent some days discussing the matter with them and finally they agreed to pull it down. He wanted to rebuild it according the report of 'A'isha, the wife of Allah's Prophet (PBUH), that Allah's Messenger (PBUH) said to her: "Didn't you see that when your people built the Ka'ba, they reduced (its area with the result is that it no longer remains) on the foundations (laid) by Ibrahim. I said: Messenger of Allah, why don't you rebuild it on the foundations (laid by) Ibrahim? Thereupon Allah's Messenger (PBUH) said: Had your people not been new converts to Islam, I would have done that." [Sahih Muslim, 1333 c]
So, Ibn Az-Zubair did that. He pulled down the Ka'bah and reconstructed it on the foundations of Ibrahim (PUH). He joined the Hijr with the Ka'bah and installed two doors, one on the east side and another one on the west side of the Ka'bah.

In the spring of 2017, George Washington University President Steven Knapp visited high schools across Washington, D.C. He had amazing news for 10 talented students: They had earned full-ride scholarships to the university.
The university selected these students based on their achievements, but merit-based scholarships aren't the only kind of aid that go into financial aid packages. Colleges also provide need-based financial aid to students who need help paying for college.
Read on to learn about both types of financial aid, and how you can get the most aid possible.
What is need-based financial aid?
Need-based financial aid is exactly what it sounds like — it's doled out based on your financial need. Some colleges promise to cover your full financial need, while others only provide aid for part of it.
Each college's financial aid office puts together your financial aid package. It could include a mix of federal, state, institutional, and private aid.
Need-based financial aid could include any of the following:
- Federal Pell Grant: Pell Grants tend to go to students with major financial need. The maximum award for the 2017-2018 school year is $5,920.
- Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG): You can receive between $100 and $4,000 per year through the FSEOG program. However, only some colleges participate.
- Direct Subsidized Loan: Interest will not start accruing on these federal loans until you're out of school and the six-month grace period has ended.
- Federal Work-Study: This program provides you with a part-time, on-campus or off-campus job, so you can earn money to put toward school or living costs.
A college might offer need-based financial aid in the form of low-interest loans. Plus, the state or a private organization might give loans or grants to low-income students.
Massachusetts' MASSGrant, for instance, gives grants to qualifying state residents with a family contribution equal to or lower than $5,328. And the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation provides up to $40,000 per year to high-achieving students with significant financial need.
Whether it's federal, state, or private, need-based aid is largely based on your financial situation. Except in the case of private scholarships, your grades or extracurricular achievements don't factor in.
How is need-based financial aid determined?
To figure out your financial need, most schools look at your FAFSA (a few also require the CSS Profile). After filling out the FAFSA, you'll get an Estimated Family Contribution, or EFC.
As the name suggests, your EFC is how much your family is expected to pay toward college. The difference between the cost of tuition and your EFC is your financial need.
Let's say a school costs $50,000 per year, and your EFC is $25,000. In this case, your financial need would be $25,000.
Most colleges will cover at least part of that $25,000 with need-based financial aid. Plus, they might provide additional non-need-based financial aid.
If not, you'd need to make up for the difference another way — such as by taking out private student loans or choosing a less expensive college.
What is non-need-based financial aid?
Non-need-based financial aid, like its need-based counterpart, is offered on both the federal and institutional level. The Office of Federal Student Aid provides the following types of non-need-based aid:
- Direct Unsubsidized Loan: Unlike subsidized loans, unsubsidized loans accrue interest from the time they're disbursed.
- Federal PLUS Loan: These loans go to parents or grad students. Your credit history must be relatively clean to qualify.
- Teacher Education Access for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant: To qualify for this grant, you must study teaching at a participating college. Plus, you have to agree to teach for at least four years in a high-need area. For the 2017-2018 school year, the maximum TEACH Grant was just over $3,700.
A financial aid office might include these loans in your financial aid package after it has exhausted need-based funding. Plus, it might award merit-based grants or scholarships based on your high school performance.
If you have excellent grades or a strong record of community service, for instance, you could get college scholarships, like the 10 students in Washington, D.C. Or, you could win scholarship money from an external organization.
Some organizations even give scholarships for unusual reasons. For instance, you could win scholarship money for being left-handed, having red hair, or winning a duck-calling contest.
Whether it's an unsubsidized loan you have to repay or a scholarship you don't, none of the aid on this list is based on financial need.
How do colleges give out non-need-based aid?
Unlike need-based aid, non-need-based aid doesn't look at your EFC. Instead, your eligibility is based on the difference between the school's cost of attendance and the amount of financial aid you've received so far, whether it's from the college itself or an outside organization.
For example, let's say your school's cost of attendance is $20,000 per year, and you've received $15,000 in need-based financial aid.
In this scenario, you could qualify for up to $5,000 in non-need-based aid. You're not guaranteed to get $5,000 — or even anything — but you are eligible for these additional funds.
How to get the most financial aid possible
To some extent, your financial aid package is out of your hands. Each college sets its own policies, and the financial aid offices will notify you of its decision.
But there are important steps you can take to qualify for aid, whether it's based on financial need. Here are the top six:
- File the FAFSA as soon as possible. This application becomes available on Oct. 1. Submit it early, as some aid is given out on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Find out if your school requires the CSS Profile. Some colleges ask for the CSS Profile in addition to the FAFSA. They look at this document, along with the FAFSA, to determine financial aid.
- Communicate with the financial aid office. If you haven't applied yet, speak with financial aid offices to learn about their policies. If you experience changes in your financial situation after submitting the FAFSA, let them know. They might be able to adjust your award.
- Use the FAFSA4Caster tool. This useful tool helps you estimate the cost of attendance at colleges around the country. You'll get a sense of how much need-based financial aid you can get from each school. Use this info to be strategic about where you apply.
- Do your best in high school. You could end up getting serious merit-based aid for your achievements. Schools like Boston University and University of Texas at Austin offer full-ride scholarships to students with a record of academic and extracurricular achievement.
- Apply to outside scholarships. There are tons of organizations at the local and national level that award scholarships to students. Speak with your school counselor and browse scholarship search engines for opportunities.
By understanding the different types of financial aid — and being proactive when you apply to colleges — you can seriously reduce the cost of college.
Plus, you can avoid making the mistake that has burdened a generation of grads: taking on too much student debt to fund your education.

8 Important Disclosures for CommonBond.
CommonBond Disclosures
A government loan is made according to rules set by the U.S. Department of Education. Government loans have fixed interest rates, meaning that the interest rate on a government loan will never go up or down.
Government loans also permit borrowers in financial trouble to use certain options, such as income-based repayment, which may help some borrowers. Depending on the type of loan that you have, the government may discharge your loan if you die or become permanently disabled.
Depending on what type of government loan that you have, you may be eligible for loan forgiveness in exchange for performing certain types of public service. If you are an active-duty service member and you obtained your government loan before you were called to active duty, you are entitled to interest rate and repayment benefits for your loan.
A private student loan is not a government loan and is not regulated by the Department of Education. A private student loan is instead regulated like other consumer loans under both state and federal law and by the terms of the promissory note with your lender.
If your private student loan has a fixed interest rate, then that rate will never go up or down. If your private student loan has a variable interest rate, then that rate will vary depending on an index rate disclosed in your application. If the interest rate on the new private student loan is less than the interest rate on your government loans, your payments will be less if you refinance.
If you don't pay a private student loan as agreed, the lender can refer your loan to a collection agency or sue you for the unpaid amount.
Remember also that like government loans, most private loans cannot be discharged if you file bankruptcy unless you can demonstrate that repayment of the loan would cause you an undue hardship. In most bankruptcy courts, proving undue hardship is very difficult for most borrowers.

Tuesday night's episode of Frontline on PBS, "The Persuaders", was about the world of marketing and advertising. It was a fascinating look at how words and emotions are used to get us to do things that other people want us to do. A prime consumer-related factor in this system, which marketers and advertisers use to their advantage, is that we often don't know why we do what we do. Shortly after hearing that from the television, my high school senior son came into the room and handed me the most recent college application he's working on. The part he wanted me to look at was the page about the requested essays. The first requested essay was to be 250-300 words on "Why do I want to attend college XYZ?" A fairly basic question (unlike the others on the page, which grew increasingly complex), but in light of what I'd just heard on television--how most of us don't know why we do the things we do--it became fairly profound. To answer that question adequately requires my son to know key points about the school, as well as key points about himself and his goals, and then to find intersection of these points (all while exhibiting compelling writing style and following rules of grammar and syntax).
What if we all had to write such paragraphs about why we were doing such and so and have them read by an objective evaluator?.....Why did I buy those three sweaters last week? Why did I say yes to that project? Why did I say no to that request? Why do I want to go back to school? Why am I taking this vacation? Why did I say that? Why am I holding back?.....On the one hand, it seems silly to take any amount of time to assess such routine, often intuitive, decisions and actions. On the other hand, thinking through the why's could help us learn some interesting things about ourselves and why we do what we do.

We're a hawk on the issues.
Sanders: 'To Hell with the Fossil Fuel Industry'
Sen. Bernie Sanders called out Republicans on Saturday for their ties to the Koch brothers and the fossil fuel industry.
"This is a party that rejects science and refuses to understand that climate change is real," he said of GOP during the annual Blue Jamboree in North Charleston, S.C.
"I understand if you stand up to the Koch brothers and the fossil fuel industry, that you'll lose your campaign contributions," the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate added.
"[Climate change] is already causing devastating problems all over this world. To hell with the fossil fuel industry. Worry more about your children and your grandchildren than your campaign contributions."
Sanders blasted Wall Street for taking bailouts and betraying the middle class that saved them.
"When Wall Street went broke, they came begging to Congress for help. Now it's Wall Street's turn to bail out the middle class of this country," he said.
"While people are working so hard, what is going on all is that almost all of the income and wealth that is being created is going to the top 1 percent," Sanders continued. "That is not what America is about."
The Hill reports:
The Koch brothers' vast donor network spent $129 million during the 2014 election cycle, according to an IRS filing released Tuesday.
That amount is more than five times the $22.3 million David and Charles Koch spent in 2013, the IRS filing said.
The siblings' political network has previously committed $889 million towards conservative and libertarian principles during the 2016 presidential election.
Charles Koch has suggested about $250 million of that amount is for defeating Democrats during next year's White House and Congressional races.
Sanders has long decried the influence the Kochs and other energy moguls play in working against tackling climate change.
"When you have people like the Koch brothers and ExxonMobil today spending huge amounts of money trying to deny that reality, it slows up the entire world from aggressively addressing what is an international crisis," he said late last month. "This is serious stuff."

Dorothea Green
Dorothea Green was often referred to as "Mrs. Claus" or "Mrs. Christmas" because of her devotion to serving families in need during the holiday season.
For 12 years, Green achieved this mission as the executive director of United Christmas Service (UCS), a United Way of Central Indiana program that provides food, basic needs items and gifts to families in need. "She did not want any child to go without a gift. She had an unbelievable energy – a small woman with a big heart," said her 100 Heroes nominator Jan Bates.
Beyond her work for UCS, Green spent a majority of her life serving the United Methodist Church alongside her husband, Rev. Robert E. Green. She served more than 25 years as a delegate to the general and jurisdictional conferences of the United Methodist Church. She also served on numerous councils and commissions, including the World Methodist Council and General Commission on Ecumenical Affairs and Interreligious Concerns.
Many groups benefited from Green's strong leadership skills; she served as president of the Women's Society of Christian Service, Wesleyan Service Guild and United Methodist Women. She also acted as interim executive director and a consultant for the Indiana Interreligious Commission on Human Equality.
Green was known for her energy and ability to get people involved. This, along with her contributions to the community, landed her the honor of being named the 1993 Woman of the Year by readers of The Indianapolis Star. She was also named an Unsung Hero in 1999 by the Indiana University Center on Philanthropy, now the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, and awarded the Service to Mankind Award from the Tri-County Sertoma Club.
Green passed away shortly after retiring from UCS in 2000. "She was one of a kind,'' Ted Daniels, then-associate editor of The Indianapolis Star, said in her obituary. "A very gracious and caring woman. There are only a few people in the world that you think are truly saints, and Dorothea was one of them."

Aberrant activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling plays a key role in the onset and development of hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC), with about half of them acquiring mutations in either CTNNB1 or AXIN1. The serine/threonine kinase receptor-associated protein (STRAP), a scaffold protein, was recently shown to facilitate the aberrant activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in colorectal cancers. However, the function of STRAP in HCC remains completely unknown. Here, increased levels of STRAP were observed in human and mouse HCCs. RNA sequencing of STRAP knockout clones generated by gene editing of Huh6 and Huh7 HCC cells revealed a significant reduction in expression of various metabolic and cell-cycle–related transcripts, in line with their general slower growth observed during culture. Importantly, Wnt/β-catenin signaling was impaired in all STRAP knockout/down cell lines tested, regardless of the underlying CTNNB1 or AXIN1 mutation. In accordance with β-catenin's role in (cancer) stem cell maintenance, the expressions of various stem cell markers, such as AXIN2 and LGR5, were reduced and concomitantly differentiation-associated genes were increased. Together, these results show that the increased STRAP protein levels observed in HCC provide growth advantage among others by enhancing Wnt/β-catenin signaling. These observations also identify STRAP as a new player in regulating β-catenin signaling in hepatocellular cancers.
Implications: Elevated STRAP levels in hepatocellular cancers provide a growth advantage by enhancing Wnt/β-catenin signaling.

Global Enterprise Data Management Market 2014-2018
19 Jun, 2014, 19:12 BST
DUBLIN, June 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/gwq7l9/global_enterprise) has announced the addition of the "Global Enterprise Data Management Market 2014-2018" report to their offering.
In recent years, rapidly evolving market dynamics and changing aspects of businesses have prompted organizations worldwide to continuously innovate and overhaul their existing business models and enterprise infrastructure. Enterprise data management supports the growth of the company in making better decisions and helps it gain a competitive advantage by streamlining the business processes and improving operational efficiency.
Moreover, enterprise data management is one of the ways to help SMEs since it involves effective storage of business critical information. The infrastructure of many companies requires upgrades and advancements to cater to current market demands. This drives the evolution and rapid adoption of secure and consistent IT solutions such as enterprise data management.
According to the report, the Global Enterprise Data Management market is driven by several factors, of which the increasing amount of data generated by organizations is one of the major drivers. Large amounts of data are generated from various sources including enterprise applications, web-based searches, social networks, and cloud-based applications. As a result, organizations need enterprise data management solutions to automatically track the performance and behavior of the data stored in their systems.
Further, the report states that one of the major challenges is the lack of awareness of data quality tools. Companies face several challenges because of poor data quality such as unnecessary expense caused by large amounts of duplicated data and errors in customer engagement as a result of incorrect data entry methods. It is estimated that all companies in the US on average are losing around US $600 billion worth of data per year.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.

Artist Statement
(Editorial Note - this was created for a Berklee class called "Creative Artistry" and it's pretentious sounding as hell to my ears. I've left it as a reminder of some of the crap they consider valuable for our growth as "artists". That class did have slight value in that it was the first time I had shared my music with others, but that was about it. A bunch of navel gazy bullshit).
I create because I don't have a choice. I'm driven to tell a story, my story, and the countless stories of those without voices. My art means we're not alone. My art means we are connected.
My art is angry, contemptuous, sardonic, amused, nostalgic, melancholic, romantic and a thousand other emotions. My sounds shriek, shrug, push, pull, cajole, sting, laugh and cry. My music embraces, calms, comforts, whispers, strokes, kisses, heals. My music never intends to harm, but it does want to wake you up. Sometimes that's a gentle tap on the shoulder. Sometimes it's a clarion call. I hope to distract you, to help you escape from whatever is holding you back or keeping you down, if only for a few minutes. My art is an outstretched hand, hoping to make a connection. My art is my truth. My art is my story. Maybe it's literal, maybe it's metaphorical. It's always how I feel.
In a practical sense, my music is the culmination of all my years of life and musical experience presented in a fashion that incorporates my love for light and dark, abrasive and mellow, intensity and calmness. I draw on any musical genres that have spoken to me - rock, metal, jazz, classical, folk, electronic and many others. I strive to combine my love of sound, style, and lyrical substance into a cohesive narrative that will move you emotionally and intellectually. I hope to tell a story worthy of your attention and time.

Where should I host my blog?Posted by Mark White, Blog Consultant in Blogging for Small Businesses , Business Blogging FAQs , Setting up a Business Blog
Business Blogging Frequently Asked Question (FAQ)
Q: Where should I host my blog? Is a hosted service better or should I host it myself?
A: When it comes to a Business Blog, we would always recommend that you host it yourself for the simple reason that it gives you most control over it and allows you to make any changes that you may require.
Hosted systems such as Blogger are great for personal blogs because they are free and because there is very little for you to do except start to write. They do come with a risk though, as there may come a time when you want to do more with your blog than can be done with a hosted system of this type, at which point it is very difficult to move all of your content across to your new blog. Even making permanent (301) redirects so that people can still find all of your content that has been indexed is not possible on some of these blog systems, which will make for a lot of frustration.
There have even been cases reported where proper Business blogs have been mistaken for spam blogs (splogs) and had their content deleted. Not a good situation! As we point out in the Business Blogging email course, making the right choice in terms of your blogging platform is a key early decision.
If you do decide to host it yourself, you have a second decision to make whether to select a new domain name and run your blog there or whether you should incorporate the blog into your current website. Both options have merit. If it deals with issues which are distinct from those that you talk about on your main website then it may be sensible to select a relevant domain name and separate the two. However, by incorporating the Business Blog alongside your other content (and integrating it graphically into the look and feel of the site) then you can use it as a complementary means of engaging with prospects and customers, and so enhance the positioning of your business through it.
Both of these hosted options are valid but overall, primarily for reasons of control and security, we would recommend that you steer away from hosted services for your blog when it is going to be such an integral part of your business.

Belgrade Beer Fest 2018
Date: 04-06-2018
If you ask citizens of Belgrade about their favorite event in the city, it is likely most of them will choose Belgrade Beer Fest. The ultimate celebration of beer and music, Beer Fest is attracting more than 100.000 visitors each day, five days in a row. Some may say that free admission is the reason for such large numbers, but festival's popularity has much more to do with choice of headliners, as concerts on Belgrade Beer Fest are, without competition, biggest rock events in Serbia. Only bands that can handle large crowds are invited to Beer Fest, and the very act is no easy task, considering the amount of people, heat and dust.
Belgrade Beer Fest 2018 lineup
Belgrade Beer Fest 2018 will take place from August 15th to August 19th, with exceptionally good lineup and a bit more urban sound than in previous years. Four truly legendary bands will play: Partibrejkers, Lollobrigida, E-Play and Obojeni program. Concerts will be held on the Main stage and on the Alternative stage, while the complete list of bands will be announced in mid-June.
Partibrejkers will be the band that opens Beer Fest 2018, and the last time they played on the festival was five years ago. As one of the greatest Ex-Yu rock bands of all time, Partibrejkers have enough material to play on all five days, but being a band that has nothing more to prove, they are expected to mostly play hits, and only maybe a few songs from albums recorded since 2000.
The biggest party in the region
Croatian-Slovene band Lollobrigida will play on the second night of Belgrade Beer Fest. This synthpop band is one of the most original ones created in last 15 years and is much loved in Serbia, with regular appearances on Exit festival. Lollobrigida won several MTV Adria awards and their concert will mostly attract younger crowd.
Obojeni program is another band with a long history and great fame. They recently celebrated 35 years on the stage, and their sound steady evolved as time passed, from rock to alternative, to electronica and back. They will perform on the third night.
If you are coming to Belgrade for Beer Fest 2018, it is advisable to book your Sky Apartments as early as June. As all the concerts are free and beer prices are really low, Beer Fest is one of the cheapest large events you can find, and all you needs is enough energy and to book accommodation on time.

The vibe was good and I had great company with me as dining companions.
I was disappointed that I was unable to get a vegan veggie burger - the explanation was something around that they make them ahead of time with the cheese on them and stick them in the fridge.
I got the vegan veggie sandwich instead which was ok - fresh chunks of vegetables (onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, green peppers) on toasted bread with hummus and guacamole. The fries were good - hand-cut with the skins on some pieces. I had an iced tea, which was tasty. Didn't get a chance to check out the beer list, which seems to be most of the reason to come here.
I don't think I would go back again unless I was with other people who really wanted to go to Acadia.
Acadia is a fairly cool bar/cafe with a cozy, lived-in feel. It seems like a smaller, slightly softer version of Triple Rock.
I came here and had one of their few vegan items, a house-made blackbean burger ($8 with tax). They also have a hummus sandwich and some boring items of that type. The blackbean burger normally has non-vegan cheese and chipotle mayo, so make sure to specify you're vegan.
The burger was okay. I felt the patty was too beany and dry and the streak of guacamole they added didn't really help to moisten things up. Other than that, you get your standard fixings such as a pickle, onion slices, a piece of tomato and a piece of lettuce. The bun, a dry white flour bun, disappointed me. Is it too much to ask for a fresh, simple, wholewheat option?
The fries that came with it were also decent but not great.
I'd come to Acadia for a drink with friends (they have a large and diverse selection of beers both bottled and on tap) but their food is mediocre for vegans.

Dungeness RNLI lifeboat tasked to assist Dutch yacht whose main sail had blown out
At 10.09pm on 9 July, the UK Coastguard tasked the Dungeness RNLI lifeboat to assist a 11 metre Dutch yacht broken down with a water pump problem and main sail blown out, 4 miles north, northeast of Dungeness Point, with two persons on board.
Once launched, Coxswain Stuart Adams in command of the RNLI Shannon class AWL (all weather lifeboat) lifeboat 13-02 'The Morrell' and her volunteer crew proceeded to their position. On scene the Coxswain assessed the situation and the well being of the passengers on board and decided to safely tow the stricken vessel to Dover.
Coxswain Adams said 'the casualty was fully prepared for their passage but due to unforeseen circumstances they had to call for help. Our volunteers did a fantastic job at that time of night'
The RNLI lifeboat returned to station and was ready for service by 3am on 10 July.

Tuccio out of the race for first selectman
Ridgefield developer Ed Tuccio, who said in July he would run for the office as an unaffiliated candidate, did not file his petition with the town clerk by the 4 p.m. Wednesday deadline.
Tuccio could not be reached for comment Thursday. In July he touted himself as "running as a businessman not a politician." He said at that time his decision to challenge Marconi for the first selectman's position had nothing to do with his winning a civil lawsuit against Marconi.
In that suit, Tuccio claimed his civil rights were violated when Marconi and other town officials refused to meet with him due to prior lawsuits Tuccio had pending against the town. In June, Tuccio was awarded $1 in a judgment but no punitive damages.
Marconi said Thursday "it was up to Ed to fulfill the requirements of getting signatures on a petition. I don't have much to say about his not doing that."
Marconi also said whether there are one or two challengers, "a challenge is still a challenge. We will run the same campaign."
Mason said Thursday he "had no idea" Tuccio wasn't going to run.
"If his intention to run was to hammer Rudy, I think that was the wrong reason. If he had the sincere interest of Ridgefield at heart and wanted to help Ridgefield be a better place, then he'll be missed in the race."
Mason said the more candidates in the race, the "bigger the debate" and the more issues that come forward.
Another Republican on the ballot in November will be John Katz, running to keep his seat of 29 years on the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Katz petitioned to run in the election after being bumped from the Republican ticket at that party's caucus.

Kids need an example in order to learn, and as they are like sponges when they're little, it's very wise to try to inoculate all the principles you want them to have from an early age. Even when it comes to trivial matters, like cooking, a successful early start is a big deal and may change the way they see things. You cannot convince them that food is important if you constantly feed them junk food, nor that greens are important if they never have them on their plates. So, try to apply these rules in order to teach your children that the kitchen is a fun territory which can offer great achievements.
1. While they're babies, take the kids with you in the kitchen. As this room is full of noises, let the newborn get used to the sound of running water, of the oven, the fridge or dishwasher. Yeah, he may smell a bit of food at the end of the day, but as long as he sits in his bouncer or stroller near you he'll be happy. And he'll get accustomed to this place of sounds and smells.
2. Tell toddlers everything you do, explain them the processes in the kitchen step by step. For a toddler it will be fun to have all his "why" questions answered while attending the miracle of transforming groceries into food that looks so appetizing and smells so delicious. Tell him step by step everything you do and he'll associate the kitchen with great stories. And maybe with some magic, too.
3. You have kids that go to school? Awesome, it's time to show them how to use the kitchen utensils. This is the perfect moment to show your school kid how the oven works, how can he heat water, what's the microwave for and why using the dishwasher is many times more sustainable than doing the dishes old school. Let him chop carrots, stir in the pan and play with the batter, and he'll see for himself that being in the kitchen is really great.
4. Preteens? They are more difficult to handle no matter the problem, but worry not if they seem to lose interest in the kitchen during this stage of their lives. If you have a preteen on your hands who refuses to get involved in the kitchen from a point on, don't worry and let him make the first step. Encourage him softly, without making him feel pushed and he'll come back to his old habits when he feels like it.
5. Adolescents? Cool! If you have a teenager on your hands is time to sit back and relax as he'll probably feel the need to show off. He'll look for praise, and even if you offer him recognition regarding his kitchen skills, don't skip an honest feedback either. Encourage him to join you in the kitchen, but also to get creative on his own and show your joy whenever he surprises you with goodies.
No matter the stage in the life of a child, he can learn his place in the kitchen and become fond of it. So be there for him without being too pushy and you'll have on your hands a future responsible adult when it comes to food choices, a person who can cook and really enjoy the experience of it.

Fresh on the heels of his Oscar-winning portrait of a trans woman on the verge, 2017's A Fantastic Woman, Chilean writer/director Sebastián Lelio has crafted another beautifully intricate character study with his English-language debut, Disobedience. If this story of forbidden love within an Orthodox Jewish community lacks some of the stylistic flair that defined A Fantastic Woman, its emotional gut punches are no less impactful or well-developed, and its central cast delivers some of the most dynamic performances to hit screens in recent memory. Lelio is making a name for himself as a director uniquely attuned to rendering believable, relatable characters, and if Disobedience is any indication, he may make the jump from arthouse accolades to mainstream marketability in short order.
While Disobedience may still be too niche for a wide audience, it is a film that suitably — and subtly — bridges the gap between the subcultural specificity of A Fantastic Woman and more broadly oriented melodrama. The story follows British expat Ronit (Rachel Weisz) living a secular life in Manhattan when she is abruptly summoned home for the funeral of her estranged father, a revered rabbi. On arrival, Ronit is greeted with cold courtesy by childhood friend Dovid (Alessandro Nivola) — her father's rabbinical protege — and somewhat more warmly by Esti (Rachel McAdams), who Ronit is shocked to learn has married Dovid.
If you've seen the trailers (or even the posters), you already know why she's so surprised — the breakdown of Ronit's bond with her father was the result of a romantic relationship with Esti, a scandal that led to her exile from their conservative community. Lelio contrasts the unrequited sexual tension between the two erstwhile lovers with the stolid social structure of their peers both thematically and visually, with Dovid's almost ritualistic affections and obsession with keeping up appearances standing in stark opposition to the simmering passion brewing between Ronit and Esti. Lelio frames his leads with surreptitious closeups, tinting their stolen moments together with warm hues that break up the implacable monochrome of the harshly judgmental religious culture that threatens to suffocate them both.
One need only look at the two drastically different sex scenes featured in Disobedience to grasp Lelio's point, couching the culturally mandated repression of identity in a viscerally carnal context. Weisz and McAdams play their characters' distinctions with pitch-perfect pathos, Ronit's open sensuality circling Esti's taciturn desire as two polar forces of nature drawn toward an inevitable collision. And while Nivola, Weisz, and especially McAdams all elevate their respective roles admirably, it's Lelio's slow-burn structure that makes Disobedience so much greater than the sum of its parts — when Ronit and Esti finally reconnect in the second-act climax, it's like watching two starving people stumble on an all-you-can-eat buffet — and the tension built up along the way is almost as unendurable for the audience as for the characters.
Disobedience is a study in oppositions, contrasting love and lust, freedom and obligation, without any shade of heavy-handed moralizing. Lelio has delivered a melodrama that skirts the pitfalls of its soap-opera-worthy premise by searching for the sacred in the salacious, and the result is a love story with a soul-churningly human heart. Rated R for some strong sexuality. Opens Friday at Fine Arts Theatre.

LUWERO - Pineapples in Luwero are a must bite for tourists destined to Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth National Park and Kidepo Valley National Park.
The organic fruit weighing more than 4kg has a price tag of less than sh3000.
It all depends on one's haggling skills.
"Soon, a trip to Uganda without tasting a pineapple will be declared incomplete," said Association of Uganda Tour Operators (AUTO) spokesperson, Jonathan Baniah.
"We are urging all tour operators to include a trip to Luwero as part of the itinerary."
Destined to Murchison Falls National Park, two Japanese Midori Lsozaki and Kusano Kazuki had their tongues wagging for the juicy harvest when they made a stopover in Luwero to sample them on 40 acres of a pineapple garden and Sulma Foods processing plant.
"These fruits are bigger than my head!" exclaimed Losaki as she was served a whole fruit dripping with juice. "Give me chop sticks?"

Losaki was told to wash her hands and eat the nanasi like Ugandans do.
At lunch time, Kazuki swore he had never eaten chicken that tastes like the one he had in Luwero.
"Now I know there is a lot more than the Big Five," confided Kazuki. "There are the gorillas, Rolex and now pineapples!"
The CEO Uganda Tourism Association, Samuel Kawere said the travel volumes of Japanese keep shooting up to 1, 356,700 going abroad.
He added that the challenge is on the marketers to lure them to destination Uganda and keep them here for as long as possible.
"Their taste buds love our pine apples besides the reptiles, birds and mammals!" boasted Kawere. "Luwero has the Nubian stay homes and their crafts besides the NRA war skulls memorial."

Konami's arcade empire ruled a vast cornucopia of great ideas, clever licenses, and a few games that could be a little out there but were fun anyway. Their designers plumbed the depths of nearly every kind of game there was to be from shmups, run 'n guns, fighters, sports, and more. You could always expect a Konami game to be exciting fun with tough challenges wrapped around great looking sprites and fantastic sound.
Sunset Riders in 1991 was such a game. Like Konami's TMNT years earlier in '89, up to four players could partner up as a posse of justice-seeking caballeros in a side-scrolling, Western-styled, shooter pitting them against a small army of bandits and bosses. Points were turned instead into cash and wanted posters let you know who the main guy was at the end of a level complete with a cash award to let you know how tough they were.
The areas were pretty creative. Though it was strictly side scrolling stuff, players could jump up onto balconies to get a better bead on foes or jump back down onto the ground. Other areas involved a kind of pseudo 3D duel as you moved along the bottom the screen to blast enemies in the upper half. Challenge stages in between the main ones, such as shooting a number of enemies in a quick draw sequence, kept players' trigger fingers warmed with virtual gunsmoke.
Damsels could also be rescued and doors beckoned you to push up on the stick to see what was there. A second later, your cowboy could walk back out and take a swig from a tall bottle of good stuff and earn a power up such as dual pistols or rapid fire. Obstacles such as dynamite thrown by daisy duke wearing cowgirls, firebombs, and the creative boss fights themselves added to mix. I gladly sunk a lot of tokens into this one.
So it was only natural for it to get a port onto new consoles like the SNES and the Genesis. Both would get the game in '93, but the versions were quite different from each other from the way the title screen dissolved into view to the way levels were laid out.
The SNES version was clearly the better one with an almost perfect copy of the arcade right down to the four characters available for two player excitement. The colors were rich, the sprites sharp, and the music was solid stuff even though the digitized voices from the arcade didn't make it in. The Genesis version was still a lot of fun, though it was visually lacking compared to the SNES release with a shallower palette and fewer effects. The good news was that the levels were much longer, likely to make up for having four fewer bosses than either the arcade or the SNES versions, and had even come with a dueling mode for two players to go at it.
Both did share a degree of censorship via changes made to certain other elements. Instead slugging back a bottle as you could in the arcade after entering doors for bonuses, you just celebrated with a cheer or left with a barfly's kiss. Dynamite throwing cowgirls were also gone (though the dynamite was still around, just tossed by someone else). In the SNES version, the Native Americans that attack you in a later stage were also replaced with outlaws instead.
But at the time, that didn't matter as much as the fun which both versions delivered and which this ad from '93 wanted to show off. Instead of splashing color and painted art, a live action scene was set up to sell the backdrop of the game for Genesis players alongside the screenshots and a pic of the original arcade stand-up. Sunset Riders had finally come home and regardless of the changes in either copy, Konami still made it a lot of fun in being a Western-styled Terminator. Even if you didn't look like Clint Eastwood.

Mariners rough up Dickey, beat Jays
From the start, it was another rugged outing for R.A. Dickey and the Toronto Blue Jays.
The reigning NL Cy Young winner gave up a home run on his second pitch and was later booed off the mound. Dustin Ackley hit his first career grand slam and Michael Saunders homered twice as the Seattle Mariners romped 8-1 Saturday.
"We're somewhat of a dysfunctional team right now," Dickey said. "We're kind of searching for a way to score runs, a way to pitch well. We're doing a lot of things poorly, myself included."
Toronto has lost four in a row and has been outscored 25-3 in that span. A season-worst 11 games below .500, the Blue Jays have lost 14 of 18 overall.
"We're all pretty beat up mentally right now but you've got to get through that," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "That's professional baseball. There's a lot of season left. You get tested and you find out what you're made of."
Dickey (2-5) was among several stars Toronto added during an offseason overhaul. Despite all the All-Stars, the Blue Jays are 10-21 and in last place.
Pressed on his use of the word "dysfunctional" after a report Friday of tension in the Blue Jays clubhouse, Dickey insisted there's no issue with Toronto's chemistry.
"We've got a group of great guys," the knuckleballer said. "And the chemistry in here, nobody is blaming other people. We're all trying to own what ours is to own in this. But we're not very good right now and everybody knows it. That's no secret."
Dickey was booed by the crowd of 35,754 after Raul Ibanez hit a one-out triple in the sixth and scored on Kelly Shoppach's double. As the runs piled up, some fans responded with chants of "Go, Leafs, Go!" for the NHL's Maple Leafs, currently in the playoffs against the Boston Bruins.
"I did hear them, it was hard not to," Dickey said. "They were pretty animated. You can't blame them. We've played well below our expectation. We're booing ourselves. It's tough."
Pitching on an extra day of rest because of lingering neck and back soreness, Dickey lost his third consecutive start. He allowed six hits, including a season-high three home runs. He walked two and struck out five.
"He didn't give up a lot of hits but they were big hits," Gibbons said.
Dickey said his neck and back weren't a concern against the Mariners, and Gibbons said the Blue Jays see no need to put Dickey on the disabled list.
Dickey lost consecutive starts only once during his outstanding season with the New York Mets last year. His previous three-start losing streak came in July and August of 2011.
It was a bad day all around for the Blue Jays, who even appeared to lose track of the number of outs and were slow to come off the field after Kendrys Morales struck out to end the fifth.
Hisashi Iwakuma (3-1) welcomed the Seattle hitting after receiving just one run of support in his previous three outings. He pitched seven innings to win for the first time in four starts.
Iwakuma allowed one run and five hits. He walked three and struck out five, lowering his ERA to 1.61.
"He's one of the better guys in the league right now and you can see why," Gibbons said.
Yoervis Medina pitched the eighth and Oliver Perez worked the ninth for the Mariners, who have won seven of their past eight meetings with Toronto. Seattle has won six of seven overall.
Saunders homered on Dickey's second pitch of the game, the second leadoff homer of his career, then added another solo shot in the fifth. It was the fourth multihomer game of his career and his first this season.
Saunders added an RBI double off Brett Cecil in the ninth.
"He had a big day for us," Seattle manager Eric Wedge said. "He just brings a lot of energy and intensity to the top of our lineup."
Ackley connected on a 3-2 pitch in the fourth, immediately after Dickey had loaded the bases with back-to-back walks to Ibanez and Shoppach.
"That's an awesome feeling," Ackley said. "Hitting a home run in general is a great feeling, but to have three guys on base and to put your team up, it was pretty important for us."
Ackley's first homer of the season was Dickey's biggest regret of the afternoon.
"Outside of that I wasn't too disappointed, but that singular pitch really put us in the hole, big time," Dickey said.
Blanked by Felix Hernandez on Friday, the Blue Jays struggled to get anything going against Iwakuma, snapping a 23-inning scoreless streak on Munenori Kawasaki's sacrifice fly in the seventh.
Wedge gave 1B Justin Smoak and OF Jason Bay the day off against Dickey. … Dickey underwent an MRI on Wednesday that revealed mild inflammation in his neck and back. It's the same injury that forced him to leave after the sixth inning of an April 18 start against the Chicago White Sox. … Dickey went 5-8 with a 5.21 ERA in 32 games for Seattle in 2008. … Seattle's Joe Saunders (2-3) faces Brandon Morrow (0-2) in Sunday's series finale.
