Future Rock and Orchard Lounge, Rocks Off Concert Cruise, NYC- 11/17
A cold November night may not seem like the most optimal time to hop on a boat cruise in New York City's harbor. However, once in a while
when the time is right, one must brave winter's cruel elements for the sake of fun, and in this specific case fun consisted of Chicago natives Future Rock and Orchard Lounge bringing their Windy City styles to the rivers of the Big Apple. For a while these two live acts have been an inseparable tag team. Orchard Lounge, a trio of DJ's, and Future Rock, a trio of musicians, frequently combine forces to merge into a party-driving orgy-instigating sextet.
Orchard Lounge treated the cruisers to an opening set of some light dance music aided by a visual display of psychedelia. Soon, the Future Rock members picked up their instruments one by one, playing along with Orchard Lounge without missing a beat. The remarkable ability these acts have to segue in and out of each other is quite
astounding. It's a rare accomplishment when DJ's and instrumentalists can play along without tweaking the sound in the mix. These guys do it perfectly. Without any noticeable change, Future Rock had taken the spotlight and Orchard Lounge was off.
Future Rock approached the boat cruise in a unique fashion, playing an "In The Round" set of music. They assembled themselves in the middle of the dance floor in a circle allowing the crowd to literally get right next to them. Essentially, every seat in the house had a backstage view. Future Rock began their set with a Daft Punk medley, moving in and out of hits like "Robot Rock", "Prime Time of Your Life", and "Da Funk". The songs were virtually an exact reenactment of the Summer hits. The band didn't stop delving into its canon of covers, bringing out MSTRKRFT's "Easy Love" as well.
Covers aside, the most exciting moment of the evening came when the unexpected guest Matisyahu came out for some impromptu unorthodox freestyles over Future Rock's "Rock Kit". The boat was rocking back and forth to the bearded man's chants. Future Rock's original material such as "FM1" and "FM2" was just as impressive as their selective covers. They have a unique style, something very hard to accomplish in this era of monotonous electronic music. Through keyboard and synthesized drum samples and loops, this band is able to maintain a sustained energy throughout their performance. Their set concluded with more covers of Arcade Fire's "Rebellion (Lies)" and a version of "Milkman" by Aphex Twin. Orchard Lounge then hopped on taking back the reins with some old school hip hop as the boat docked.
Future Rock and Orchard Lounge are the new age tag-team dynamic duo. Like Kobe and Shaq or Jordan and Pippen, these acts do not miss a beat.

The title translates as "New World", which is the name of a newspaper in this story set in the world of Indian newspapers. Puran, a reporter, becomes the object of Asha's affections when she joins the paper. When the editor seems to be weakening the paper's former radical stance, and colluding with the corrupt Dhaniram, Puran leaves and founds New World, but eventually the editor sees his mistake, and re-employs the couple on the once again radical paper.

What is the message your heart most wishes to speak to the rest of humanity?
Get involved! Figure out your answer to the question & share it with the world!
Why does this question need to be answered?
There are a lot of voices on the planet making our ears ring with negativity, stirring the pot of drama, and basically leaving us feeling helpless, hopeless and frustrated. It's time to let the HEART of humanity speak! It's time for the messages that have been waiting in all human hearts to finally be brought to the world and to fill us with hope and joy! There is a secret that waits to be revealed … there are many more of us who hold the codes of light in our beings than there are who hold negativity. Until now, the predominant tones on the planet have been negative, because they are getting the most air time, perpetuated by those who stand to prosper from the majority remaining in a state of fear and powerlessness. But that cripples the whole planet. There is a plethora of positivity that has been held in waiting for the dawning of the Age of Light. Once the heart of humanity is allowed to take voice, this hidden reservoir will be released onto the planet! It is the desire of this project and its founder to receive a minimum of one million Heart Message contributions for maximum success of this project, so spread the news about this project to every soul you know, and even to those you don't know! We are headed for a Renaissance of Humanity the likes of which no living soul has yet witnessed. We are the ones we've been waiting for, and the wait is over. Let your heart's voice be heard!
What is the Heart of Humanity Speaks project?
This project is intended to connect the hearts of humanity so that the world begins to truly SEE that we are all ONE and feel the heart of humanity pulsing the message of LOVE, but also Peace, Brotherhood, Harmony, Unity, and Oneness. These messages will be used in many ways to send out a Beacon of Love to the world and to LIGHT IT UP!
Join this community of heart-centered, heart-directed souls on Facebook! Post your Message for Humanity here!
Our mission is to receive 1 MILLION Heart Message!
(See samples of some of the Heart Messages in the Gallery below.)
FIND us.
LIKE us.
You can also share your heart's Message For Humanity on the Violet Wisdom Forum. Here, too, a community is forming.
How can I participate in the project?
- Please express your message in nine words or less. The purpose of these shorter messages are so that people can read them quickly, memorize those that move them, and repeat them easily to those they cross paths with to ripple the love out even more.
- You can use any medium: type the message or post a picture of the message on The Heart of Humanity Facebook Page; send it to this website via email or the Contact page; or take a picture and email it. If you choose to contribute a photo, you can be in the photo, or others can be in your photo, or it can just be the message … just make sure the message is clear for all to see, or include a note that clarifies the message, too.
- Make sure it is the message of your heart and not your head. You can ensure this in several ways: put your hand on your heart and ask it to speak to you and then listen for the answer (keep your mind from jumping to assumptions); it will be a positive message (the heart only speaks with the voice of positivity); ask your heart for its truth a number of times (you will get a consistent answer from your heart; it is not fickle like the mind). Bottom line, if you keep thinking of a negative message, it is coming from your head (do not send these); messages from your heart are ALWAYS positive and uplifting.
- In the creation of your message, do only what honors. For instance, use only words and images that honor all individuals and the planet (and do not do anything that violates any law or moral rights).
- Use only your original ideas, your original artwork, your original words. Granted, because we are all connected and all ONE, and because the language of the heart is universal, we can expect that some of these will be similar, even identical. No one need take offense, and we wish to encourage the use of whatever words any heart is desiring to bring forward and the generous and open-hearted welcoming of those words from all who participate in and partake of this project.
- Regarding photos of messages, be as creative as you wish, but your contribution to the project must be a simple, photograph of your heart message (see examples in slide gallery).
How do I submit my Heart Message?
- Create your Heart Message.
- If you want to send a photo of your HEART MESSAGE, take a photograph of your message. Make sure it is a good, sharp image. If you just want to send me the words of your HEART MESSAGE, that's okay too.
- Create an email addressed to email@example.com.
- Attach a JPG image of the Heart Message.
- Type the words of your HEART MESSAGE even if the photo is clear, just to make sure the message will be conveyed fully.
- In the body of your email include:
- Your name; first name at least, and more information if you are willing; please indicate if you would like your name publicly associated with the image you send, or provide some substitution (ie, "Jacqueline G. from Ontario")
- Your address, or even just the state, province or country you live in
and how you would suggest the image be identified (a title, caption, or other short description), if desired.
- Any personal thoughts you might like to add.
- Please note that sending me your picture means that you agree with the Disclaimer below.*
- Then send this information and your photo (jpg please) via email! Mail it to email@example.com. or to email@example.com. **
*Disclaimer: My participation indicates that I trust that Cynthia Shepherd's intention for this project is pure and loving and by submitting my photograph/image to her I give her permission to use this image of my message/creation, or the words of my HEART MESSAGE, in whatever way she desires.
**Musicbed for The Heart of Humanity radio show is provided by Laura Derocher, dear friend of Cynthia, musician extraordinaire, and member of the Positive Music Association. Find out more about Laura at www.LauraDerocher.com.
(Thank you from the depths of my heart, Laura! Cynthia)

Although Pennwoods Equine Products, Inc. was not established until 1985, the idea behind the company was born far earlier. It all started in 1957, when John M. Cole left the army and began a career in agriculture. He worked for a local company until 1968, when he left to go into business for himself. John bought a small feed mill in Centre Hall, PA with the money that he had saved.
Within a few years, John had turned the mill into a thriving company. The business remained a small mill and feed store that served the local farming community until the early 1980s. In 1977 Chris Cole, John's oldest son, returned from college to join his father in business. They shared an interest in profession and hobby.
Horses were always a part of the family. To ensure the best possible health and performance in the family horses, a special vitamin and mineral mix was formulated. This type of product didn't exist commercially, and with people asking what their secret feed ingredient was, an idea for a brand new product developed: a vitamin and mineral horse supplement.
For several years, John and Chris developed and tested various prototypes until they felt that the perfect product had been created. Pennwoods Equine Products, Inc. was born. The company included John, Chris and Chris' siblings Kelly and Chad Cole.
Over the last 30 years, the Pennwoods Equine product line has expanded from one to twenty-six products, all available in various sizes. As the market has changed, so has the company. Yet one thing still remains that separates Pennwoods from the competition: every one of our products contains a large dose of common sense. We care about our customers and most importantly their horse's nutritional needs.

Business titans secretly fund Philippine presidential bets
Philippine presidential favourite Rodrigo Duterte has flippantly brushed aside campaign trail allegations of accepting million-dollar gifts, while his rivals have refused to disclose their backers, deepening concerns over business titans' shadowy grip on politics.
The Philippines has one of Asia's biggest rich-poor divides, with poverty rates remaining stuck in recent years despite strong economic growth, and analysts say one of the reasons for the disparity is the debt that politicians owe their secret backers.
Under the nation's campaign financing laws, there are no caps on how much people or companies can give to candidates, nor are there limits on individual donations.

They also do not have to reveal their backers until a month after polling day.
Duterte has entrenched himself as the clear frontrunner for Monday's elections by portraying himself as a frugal, anti-establishment politician who is tough enough to take on the elites.
"When I become president, by the grace of God, I serve the people, not you," Duterte told reporters this week, referring to the elite.
But in the final stages of the campaign trail Duterte, who is meant to earn less than $2,000 a month as the mayor of the southern city of Davao, was hit with allegations that millions of dollars had poured into secret bank accounts.
He initially denied there were any hidden accounts. After a journalist deposited money into them, he admitted they did exist and that 193.7 million pesos ($4.2 million) were deposited into them on his birthday two years ago, nearly 10 times his declared assets.
"That only means I have many rich friends," he said, refusing to disclose who they were.
Asked at an earlier national television debate to name his campaign donors, Duterte gave a mocking answer, answering "Emilio Aguinaldo", a leader of the Philippines' 19th-century war for independence from colonial power Spain.
- Buying politicians -
His rivals similarly have felt no obligation to tell voters who their backers are, let alone how much they have been paid by them.
Senator Grace Poe, who has been in politics for just three years and fashions herself as a lily-white poster image of change and probity, has been widely rumoured to be backed by taipans Eduardo Cojuangco and Ramon Ang.
They are in charge of San Miguel Corporation, one of the nation's biggest conglomerates.
Cojuangco was one of dictator Ferdinand Marcos's cronies until the 1986 "People Power" revolution sent the strongman into US exile.
Cojuangco fled on the same plane but returned three years later and kept building his business empire, while also running a political party that today is backing Poe.
When asked by AFP to confirm that Cojuangco and Ang were funding her campaign, Poe spoke only in general terms that there was nothing wrong with taking money from people linked with Marcos.
"All candidates have support from both sides of the fence. If they say they don't have any they're lying," Poe replied.
She said her backers and their donations would be revealed after the election, as per the law.
Marcos's son and namesake, who is seeking to cement a remarkable political comeback for the family by being elected vice president on Monday, also referred only to his legal obligations, when asked by AFP in an interview to disclose his backers.
Ferdinand Marcos Jnr, whose late father was accused of looting $10 billion from state coffers during his two-decade rule, rejected the notion that he would be beholden to his secret donors.
"That would imply that you bought a politician. I don't think I would allow that to happen to myself," Marcos Jnr said.
- Weak laws -
In the Philippines, campaign spending is meant to be capped at 10 pesos per voter, which this year will mean a maximum budget for each presidential candidate equivalent to about $11 million.
In some advanced Western democracies the donations are typically limited to relatively small sums to encourage a larger section of the population to put their representative into office.
However in the Philippines the uncapped donations mean the funding can be provided by big-money donors in hopes of currying favours with an entire government, according to Ronald Mendoza, newly appointed dean of the Ateneo School of Government in Manila.
He said said the porous election finance safeguards made the economy vulnerable to being held captive by big-time punters' personal interests.
"Only a few can give such large amounts.... so you're no longer accountable to people who voted you in. You become more accountable to the person who actually financed you," Mendoza told AFP.
Historically, Mendoza said this led to monopolies and economic stagnation, since reforms were blocked and competition discouraged to enable campaign benefactors to recoup their investment on the new leader.
A mere 308 Filipinos funded the 2010 presidential election, turning them into virtual venture capitalists financing high-risk startups, according to a study by the Manila-based Philippine Centre for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ).

Caldera from Evan Viera
Posted by cica at July 5, 2017, 6:05 pm in movies , tags: short animation
Through the eyes of a young girl suffering from mental illness, CALDERA glimpses into a world of psychosis and explores a world of ambiguous reality and the nature of life and death.
CALDERA is inspired by my father's struggle with schizoaffective disorder. In states of delusion, my father has danced on the rings of Saturn, spoken with angels, and fled from his demons. He has lived both a fantastical and haunting life, but one that's invisible to the most of us. In our differing understanding of reality, we blindly mandate his medication, assimilate him to our marginalizing culture, and entirely misinterpret him for all he is worth. CALDERA aims to not only venerate my father, but all brilliant minds forged in the haunted depths of psychosis.... read more

This is a Short Horror film I made for my last college project in Creative Media Production, before I went off to University. We were given the chance to individually make a film of our own choice, of varied length and subject matter.
My film is based around a teenage boy who finds himself being stalked by the mythical being 'Slender Man' over a period of days. It has been heavily inspired by the game 'Slender' by Parsec Productions, as well as many horror films I have been influenced by.
It was awarded best short film for our year group, when shown at our student screening at the Duke of York's Cinema, Brighton.

WCC board approves safety policy
By Phyllis Moore
Published in News on July 27, 2012 1:46 PM
The Wayne Community College Board of Trustees has approved a policy provision designed to protect the campus against security threats from applicants without compromising its "open door" admission stance.
The measure gives the college the authority to deny admission to an applicant "who poses an articulable, imminent and significant threat to the safety of the applicant or others."
In recent years, colleges and schools across the nation have been forced to shore up safety procedures. But such procedures have to be worded in such a way as to preserve the college's open admissions policy, which has been in place for years.
The new safety rules, adopted by the state board of community colleges, went into effect June 1 and are currently being implemented at all 58 community colleges around the state.
Essentially, the exemption to the current policy only pertains to students applying to the college. Once admitted as a student, the "student code of conduct" rules apply.
Dr. Peggy Teague, vice president for academic services, said there has been no widespread problem to speak of, although occasionally the college has had issues, citing examples of disgruntled or frustrated students in the areas of financial aid and admissions.
"We do not anticipate this being used a lot. There are some exceptions, because right now we have no way of dealing with it," she said.
Bill Thompson, associate vice president for institutional advancement, said the purpose is to preserve the overall admissions policy, while giving the college latitude in dealing with applicants coming through the front door.
"We don't anticipate that we would use this," he said. "It gives us a little more teeth. We don't have any now."
Board members agreed the issue required immediate action.
"Right now, we have no way to deny them admission because we have no policy at all and it's not just our college," trustees Chairman Gwyn Wilson said.
"I think this is good," board member Andy Evans added. "But I go back to what our council said, it's written loosely enough for us to work within the lines.
"All I'm saying is, from the board of trustees to our employees, don't shortchange yourselves. Utilize it."
Having such a provision in place is like having an insurance policy, Ms. Wilson said.
"Once (a) situation is presented, then we can handle it in a way to give the student due process but also in a way to protect the safety of our staff and students," she said.
"I think we owe it to the staff and students to move ahead with this," board member Dr. Michael Gooden said.
The board also approved two other policies relating to workplace harassment and diversity.
The first guarantees employees the right to work in an environment free from harassment and retaliation and prohibits them from engaging in such conduct. The diversity policy says that the college is committed to fostering a multicultural educational environment that reflects its cultural composition and serves all segments of society.
As the college readies for another year, with classes to begin Aug. 16, officials said student numbers to date are promising, with one more round of registration coming up Aug. 14 and 15.
During his finance committee report, board member Sam Hunter also noted that this past year was especially impressive in the area of financial aid.
"Institutional funds continued to grow all year," Hunter said, noting that more than $8.4 million was awarded through new grants and increased funding for federal grants.
Work study funds also totaled $117,502, he said, while $722,432 in scholarships were awarded -- $215,398 of that from the college Foundation.

Ukrainians mocked the leadership of the DPRK, believing that Pyongyang had "caved in" to the Russian Federation in the 10 tanks with diesel fuel.
The network has mocked the news that the Pyongyang (DPRK) published a new Atlas of the world, which occupied the Crimea marked as Russian territory. Corresponding post published on the page in Facebook the Russian Embassy in the DPRK.
"As we have explained in the Ministry of foreign Affairs of the DPRK, the Republic respects the results held in the Crimea referendum on joining the Peninsula to the Russian Federation, considers the results legitimate and in full conformity with international legal norms", – is spoken in the message.
"God, finally recognized! Waited the entire country. Waiting for Namibia and Mali", "North Korea's acute shortage of useful sanctions or work for already supplied Russian nuclear missiles?", "Hurrah! Pyongyang acknowledged the Russian Crimea! Just 10 tanks with diesel fuel! That is much cheaper than supporting Venezuela or Syria! Why are they not permanent members of the UN security Council?" – write on the Internet.

Credit Refund Information
Refunds are issued upon request on a weekly basis one week after add/drop closes and there is a settled credit account balance to be refunded. Below is more detailed information regarding our refunding process, however, please feel free to contact us if you have additional questions.
How do I request my refund?
Students should send an email from their @drew.edu account to email@example.com on or before Tuesday at 5:00pm to be included in the Thursday disbursement (refunds are processed once each week). Students should provide their Name and Drew ID# with their request.
How will I receive my refund?
Students who have enrolled in a term for the first time at Drew will receive a registration email from firstname.lastname@example.com (Fall 2016 ALL enrolled students will receive this email). Registering for this portal access will allow you to make a selection regarding the receipt of your refund – Direct Deposit to your personal bank account, or Loaded onto a Debit Card that you can use throughout your tenure as an enrolled student, and provide you with options to manage and use these funds. You can register and manage your options at drewchoice.afford.com.
Refund Method Registration Screen (link from email@example.com email)
Refund Management Portal (drewchoice.afford.com)
Can I just pick up my refund instead?
No. Student refunds are no longer provided by paper check. Logging into the Refund Portal (drewchoice.afford.com) and selecting the Direct Deposit option will make your funds available to you the quickest. If you already previously selected the Debit Card option and have the card in hand, the funds will be available immediately once your refund has been processed and uploaded to the portal.
Can my refund be paid to someone else?
Student refunds can only be paid to the student. If you selected the Debit Card option, you will have free access to online bill pay from that account. Likewise, if you selected Direct Debit, you have access to make payments from your bank account in whatever manner you make other payments.
What does "settled credit account balance" mean?
Settled credit account balance means that there are no more PENDING financial aid items or future credits expected that are creating the credit on the account balance. No refunds are processed for a credit account balance that is created by pending financial aid (not yet received) or credits created by future payments on an active payment plan (potential credit).
Why do I have to wait until a week after add/drop closes?
During the add/drop period, students can make changes in their schedule which can also impact your eligibility for the financial aid awards you've been given (Scholarship, Grants, Loans). Once add/drop closes Financial Aid will conduct a reconciliation of awards done during the week following add/drop. This is when they will make any required changes to your aid awards based on your finalized enrollment. Financial Aid may have to make changes even after the reconciliation as it depends on outside award sources (Federal/State verification processes), but add/drop closure is the first point at which we can make a reasonable determination of your account credit.
What if I cannot wait until add/drop closes to receive my refund?
Students who need consideration for an early disbursement of their credit balance to pay for expenses outside of their Drew Student Account can submit their request by sending an email to email@example.com. Please provide detailed information about those expenses and when they need to be paid. Each request will be reviewed and every effort will be made to accommodate your request. It is important to notice that if changes occur to your account that create a balance due after an early refund disbursement has been issued, that balance is due immediately.

ARLINGTON -- Some boo-birds have nested at Rangers Ballpark, and the primary target those displeased fans dumped on Friday night was Josh Hamilton.
Four-plus years of wild applause and unbridled love for one of the most talented players in the game has been worn away for some by a July that continues to get worse for Hamilton, who started the season playing at an MVP level.
His performance in the opener of a three-game series against Chicago ultimately was a mixed bag. He drove in two runs, but went 0 for 4 and looked shaky defensively as the White Sox rallied for a 9-5 win.
Yu Darvish (11-7) lost for the first time in his professional career, spanning 60 decisions, when his team had scored at least four runs. He allowed all six, though one was unearned and another scored after Hamilton misplayed a flyball in the first.
He acknowledged afterward that he heard the boos, mostly after he struck out in the third and fifth innings.
"I noticed, but it's all about what have you done for me lately no matter who you are," said Hamilton, who is hitting .145 (10 for 69) this month.
"There are still more fans who are still cheering and encouraging me than the ones who are booing. I'll pray for the ones that are [booing], and I appreciate the support of the other ones."
The loss reduced the Rangers' lead in the American League West to 4 1/2 games over Oakland and threatened to drop it to four over Anaheim as the Angels played a late game.
The Rangers learned just before first pitch that the Angels had landed coveted trade target Zack Greinke.
But their biggest problem this weekend is the White Sox, who jumped ahead with a run in the first, though Darvish should have worked a scoreless inning. But Hamilton misplayed a popup by Adam Dunn, and it fell for a one-out single.
Alex Rios delivered a sacrifice fly two batters later on what should have been the third out.
"I couldn't see the ball until it reached its highest point," Hamilton said. "Maybe I could have got there with a slide, but I chose not to slide."
But Hamilton quickly delivered a sacrifice fly of his own in the bottom half, and Nelson Cruz followed three batters later with a three-run homer off All-Star left-hander Chris Sale to stake the Rangers to a 4-1 lead.
Darvish, though, couldn't hold it. Kevin Youkilis hit a two-out, two-run homer on an 0-2 fastball to bring Chicago within 4-3.
"The team going out and giving me a lead, two outs, two strikes and giving up that home run, that's something that was very unfortunate," Darvish said. "That was a very big part of the game, big unfortunate event in the game."
The White Sox tacked on two runs in the fourth to surge into the lead.
Fans weren't happy with the effort Hamilton gave on a Gordon Beckham liner into the left-center gap that he stretched into a double ahead of Hamilton's throw.
In the fifth, he struck out to a chorus of boos for the second out after the first two Rangers had reached first and second.
"He certainly didn't play his best tonight on the defensive end," manager Ron Washington said. "I wouldn't say what's going on at the plate had anything to do with it. I hope he doesn't get frustrated because there's still a lot of baseball to be played."
Darvish pitched into the seventh, but would be tagged for an unearned run after Alexi Ogando replaced him. Hamilton would trim the 6-4 deficit by one with a bases-loaded grounder.
The White Sox put it out of reach with three two-out runs in the ninth.

Lena Dunham is recovering at home following emergency surgery.
The Girls star was rushed to hospital on Saturday after an "ovarian cyst rupture" but has taken to Instagram to insist she is doing well.
Meanwhile, her representative previously confirmed the news and asked for "understanding" at the difficult time.
They told PEOPLE magazine: "Lena Dunham has been very public with her personal bouts with endometriosis. This morning, she suffered from an ovarian cyst rupture and has been taken to the hospital. Lena will be undergoing surgery at an undisclosed hospital. We thank you for your understanding and hope that Lena's privacy will be respected."
Lena was previously forced to cancel her promotion of the latest series of 'Girls' because of her endometriosis, a condition that can lead to infertility by causing tissue to grow outside the uterus.
More from Spy:
• Parris Goebel celebrates new milestone
• Kim K's nude selfie - fans react
Writing on Facebook, she explained at the time: "Hey Beloved Pals, I just wanted to let you know that, while I am so excited for Girls to return on Feb 21, I won't be out and about doing press for the new season.
"As many of you know I have endometriosis, a chronic condition that affects approximately 1 in 10 women's reproductive health. I am currently going through a rough patch with the illness and my body (along with my amazing doctors) let me know, in no uncertain terms, that it's time to rest."

The city-state of Zaun is a twisted realm of science and magic ran amok. The air is choked with pollution from the countless factories and magic labs that spew waste into the sky. As polluted as the sky is in Zaun, its subterranean levels are far worse. The waste products of Zaun's many different scientific and magical endeavors have flowed together in its sewers, mixing into a toxic and mysterious concoction. Rising up from this alchemical nightmare is a single plague rat. Unlike his un-evolved cousins, Twitch (as he calls himself) can talk and read and interact with the world as well as any of the other sentient being in Valoran. Twitch has come to the League of Legends to represent himself�the only one of his kind�on the Fields of Justice.
While Twitch's true motivations remain known only to him, his prowess in the arena is a matter of public record. As a creature of the sewers, he is able to blend in with the shadows and ambush an unwary victim of his choosing. He has collected a significant quantity of the toxic soup that collects in Zaun's underground, which he coats his crossbow with. The effect of being shot with one of Twitch's crossbow bolts is extremely debilitating. Even without his poison, he will outright infect those he chooses to attack courtesy of him being a plague rat. As an act of desperation, Twitch may rapidly unleash a flurry of bolts at his foes. He madly peppers the area he focuses on, though the damage is reduced.
Twitch's attack speed is among the highest in the game, try purchasing items with on-hit effects such as Black Cleaver or Wit's End.
Expunge has a large range, apply as many stacks of Deadly Venom as possible before using it.
If your enemy is getting away, use Debilitating Poison to close the distance, allowing you to get the Killing Blow.
Using Lifesteal also helps Twitch's small health pool. Combined with Spray and Pray, Twitch can take down a turret by himself. In fact, left unchecked by crowd control, Twitch can outlifesteal an entire opposing team with use of Spray and Pray.
Play cautiously around characters with crowd control. Twitch's low max health makes him especially vunerable to bursts of damage........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Soko's signature goth style works for her but sometimes for me, it can be a hit or miss. On Saturday(September 24th) Soko attended the 2016 Opera Opening Season Gala at the Opera Garnier in Paris.
She posed for pictures wearing a long sleeve floral ROCHAS FALL 2016 floor length dress with a cut-out back. For a cinched waist, she added a GUCCI black leather belt to her dress.
The dress is a bit too long on Soko but against that backdrop, it is a little too much. In some pictures, it looks like the parrot on the right is actually sitting on her shoulders or head. Overall, I don't like this. Are you feeling Soko's look?

In England (not Scotland or Wales) people are finding that their local school wants to become an 'academy' or someone is proposing to set up a 'free school' in the area. Or the school is being forced to convert to being an academy. Or it is being suggested that the school should voluntarily convert into being an academy. Or they are unhappy about what an academy or a free school is doing or not doing. Or there are issues with a UTC or studio school.
They want to know where they stand 'in law'.
This blog is for anyone concerned about academies, free schools, UTCs or studio schools and the law.
It's also for anyone who wants to understand how it all got so complicated, why it matters and what could be done about it – see here.
I have been advising parents and pupils on legal issues, and helping them with legal challenges, in relation to academies since 2005. On this blog I will try to answer common Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about academies (and the variations on that theme) and the law. I can't promise it will all make sense – a lot of the legal stuff about academies just does not make sense. But I will try to explain the complications.
I have tried to make the explanations as simple as possible. However, the danger of trying to make the descriptions too simple is that they become misleading. Most other explanations of the legal position in academies seem to gloss over important differences between academies and maintained schools, or between one academy and another. That makes them misleading. I am trying to avoid that mistake here. Sorry if that makes things sound complex. That is because the Department for Education – which I will call 'the Department' – has made things complex.
Some posts on this blog provide more legal detail for the people who want technical stuff. If anything needs more explanation, please ask.
I will try to keep the information on this blog up to date. But, in the world of academies (and the variants), it is not always easy to spot all the developments (it is all so complicated and so spread around – in different funding agreement, in legislation, and so on). So please let me know if something is out of date or I have missed something. Or if you think something is simply wrong (this is meant to be a place for discussion).
And please add comments.
So what's it all about – what are these new 'academies' and 'free schools', 'UTCs' and 'studio schools'?
Once upon a time there were just two sorts of schools, public (aka 'independent') schools and maintained schools:
- Public (or independent schools) have traditionally been private schools where parents pay fees. Most of the legal arrangements are in the contract between the parent and the school. So they vary school to school.
- Maintained schools were set up and funded by local authorities (formerly called 'local education authorities') since 1944. Maintained schools are available to everyone in their area, free of charge. Acts of parliament specify how they run, and what they can, cannot, must and must not do. That means that parents and pupils have the same basic legal rights around things like admissions, exclusions, SEN, complaints and so on, whichever maintained school they attend. There are different types of maintained shools: community, voluntary aided, voluntary controlled and special. Other terms were also used: grammar, comprehensive, state, state-funded, and so on. But they all refer to maintained schools or types of maintained school.
Now we have several new types of school – academies, free schools, UTCs, and studio schools. Here's a very quick introduction to the legal framework.
- Academies are (in law) 'independent schools'. But instead of parents having contracts (and paying) academies operate under a contract with the Secretary of State for Education who pays the costs. The rules for running an academy are in the contract, often called a Funding Agreement. The contracts vary from one academy to the next. So the legal rights of parents and pupils can vary too. And funding agreements can be (and have been) overriden by acts of parliament (such that bits of what is in the funding agreement for an academy may actually not apply at all – beware!) On top of that, unlike maintained schools, in academies parents and pupils have very few direct legal rights: it is harder for them to make sure that an Academy or free school sticks to the rules (as they would be able to do at a maintained school). Under the Labour Government some academies were created by converting existing maintained schools, others were new. Under the Coalition Government academies are being created from conversions and from cold.
- Free schools are (in law) a type of academy. There is no real legal difference between something called an 'academy' and something called a 'free school', although the individual contracts could vary and so the detail of each one could be different.
- UTCs are apparently a type of free school and thus a type of academy.
- studio schools also seem (even less information is available) to be another type of academy.
For a slightly more detailed, but still introductory, explanation see the introductory posts on academies and free schools and UTCs and studio schools.
Anyway, all that complexity makes it difficult for people to know their rights when it comes to all these new state-funded independentt schools. It is also more difficult for them to enforce those rights.
The whole thing has become a 'can of worms'.

p.s. this blog is not about campaigning about academies/free schools/UTCs/studio schools – other sites do that

LACKAWANNA COUNTY---Parents and faculty packed into the library at Valley View High School Monday night.
The district has had several bomb threats in recent weeks.
Just last week, a bomb squad was called in after a threat was discovered on a bathroom wall in the high school.
"Our faculty and and our staff and our administration deserve nothing but your thanks because they put your kids and mine and a lot of the people up here ahead of their own, every time, without question and without fail," school director Curt Camoni told the crowd.
Some showed up to ask school directors more about the district's policies when it comes to evacuations and school safety, but for the most part, they came to thank school leaders.
"I commend the faculty, principals, Mr. Kanavy with the process of removing the children quickly and orderly out of the buildings," said parent John Zahradnik of Archbald.
District officials said they are working with local law enforcement to make decisions each time there are threats.
They said armed police officers are in each school building in the district.
Among the crowd at the meeting were teachers and other staff who said they are always thinking of student safety.
"It's easy to sit at home and criticize and critique, but you have to look at the whole picture and give everyone the credit that we're trying to do keep kids safe in the school, during the evacuation, and on the way to and from school," said Lisa Romanski who drives a bus for the district.
"I assure all parents that your kids are safe every step of the way, if I have to stay until midnight until a child gets home safe, that's what we'll do, that's what the administration is going to do," said Valley View teacher Brian Kearney.
The Valley View school board approved having additional part-time police officers for the elementary and intermediate schools through the end of the year at the meeting, as well, a move lauded by local law enforcement as one of the best things the district can do to kep students safe.

Pre-K Fight Spurs Threat Over New York Budget
Legislative Leader Says He Won't Support an On-Time Budget If Taxes Are Not Raised
ALBANY—A powerful state legislative leader on Monday threatened to withhold his support for a high priority of Gov. Andrew Cuomo—an on-time state budget—if a tax increase on New York City's wealthy residents wasn't passed.
The threat came from Senate Majority Coalition Co-leader Jeffrey D. Klein, a Bronx Democrat who has been one of the primary Albany supporters of Mayor Bill de Blasio's plan to fund universal prekindergarten by raising taxes. He shares power in the state Senate with Republicans who, like Mr. Cuomo, don't...

Nick made dinner last night. I had NOTHING to do with it. However, I did agree to blog about his tasty creation. Since I have gained several pounds due to my stupid kidney stone [and not being as active as I should be] I opted out of dinner last night, which left Nick on his own. He marinated steak overnight in a garlic balsamic sauce. While you do not necessarily have to marinate the steak overnight, it does not hurt!
- Steak [whatever will feed you and your family]
- Garlic balsamic marinade [or whatever you like best]
- 1 1/2 cup uncooked rice
- 1/2 cup Mexican cheese
- 1/2 tablespoon Mexican spice
- Gorgonzola cheese
- boil water
- add rice, spices, mix, and cover for 10 minutes
- we added some of the juice of the steak to the rice - it gives it a great flavor
- before serving add 1/2 cup of Mexican cheese and mix thoroughly
- grill on George Foreman for approximately 15 minutes or until cooked to your individual taste
- sprinkle gorgonzola cheese over steak and serve
This was such a simple meal. It was really simple for me because all I did was add the cheese to the rice. Kudo's to my Panda Bear for making such a great meal... and making his official debut on my blog.
Until next time,
Happy Grillin'

I'm fading Actually I guess I'm just tired There are so many reasons for me to not wake up Just stay in bed And catch up on my memories All my friends Think I'm torn apart inside again Why is everyone a comedian When in the end, we all need a little something extra now and then Everything I can see Somehow always Causes me To leave Well tell me why can't I just breathe? CHORUS Holding my head up Trying to stand tall Sometimes it feel like I'm punching through a brick wall But something might happen If we just sit here I need to find out There's more to life than fear. I used to Never want to have to deal with pressure Now look at me I can't believe That this whole time, I didn't see That I was just being lazy Now I'm strong Okay, at least I don't sleep quite as long Give me a break sometimes it's hard to figure out Just where to go "If I don't shape up, I'll fail in life" I know Every time I hear those words No one gets How much it hurts I should just leave Why won't you let me breathe? CHORUS When will I say all my thoughts to you y time has almost been spent I wish that I could get through to you If you would just tell me when...CHORUS

Sir, Since my birth left eye is too lazy than the other .i want to cure this problem. Can you please help me?
All of us agree that healthy habits are absolutely necessary for a high quality of life. It is another story that whether we put them into practice or not. These healthy habits have to be cultivated since childhood for keeping vital organs like eyes in a perfect condition. One's quality of life is closely linked to how well one see and one can take steps now to take care of one's eyes and preserve vision well into old age. Keep Your Eyesight Sharp and protect your eyesight with the five tips listed below:
- Maintain a balanced and healthy diet - It has been scientifically proven that some foods can boost eye health and delay age-related eye changes. One must include eye-boosting vitamins and minerals in diet, such as lutein and zeaxanthin, Vitamin C, Vitamin E; zinc and omega-3 fatty acids to keep one's eyes in best shape. Broccoli, corn, squash, peppers, spinach and kale are the best source for zeaxanthin and lutein whereas citrus fruits, melons, tomatoes and broccoli are great source of Vitamin C. Vitamin E can be found in legumes, wheat germ, nuts and seeds while one can get zinc in found in whole grains, salmon are a great source of omega-3.
- Reduce Exposure in The Sun - Sun's ultraviolet rays can increase the risk of developing cataracts, which is most common cause of age-related vision loss in adults. It is very essential to take precautions to shield one's eyes from the sun. One should wear UV protective eyewear or wide brimmed floppy hat for protection from sun.
- Quit Smoking - Smoking is not only bad for heart and lungs, it can also damage eyesight. Cigarette smokers are at greater risk of developing both macular degeneration and Glaucoma.
- Regular Exercise - Regular exercise keeps waistline trim and eyes sharp. Latest studies have shown that those who led an active lifestyle were seventy percent less likely to develop macular degeneration.
- Go for Annual Eye Examination - Regular examination of eyes can give a surprising number of clues about ones overall health. Ophthalmologist can detect a broad set of problems ranging from hypertension to diabetes by doing a thorough examination of ones eye.
One only have one pair of eyes, so it is absolutely necessary to take the proper steps to care for them. By nourishing one's body with the right foods, getting regular exercise and going in for regular eye exams, one can keep vision sharp at any age. In case you have a concern or query you can always consult an expert & get answers to your questions!
Hi my mother eyes cataract operation is done is she required specs and her other eyes operation also we want to do but she is diabetic also please guide us for proper medication.
Sir, from few days whenever I used mobile phone for any purpose a light headache and my both eyes started burning (JALAN hone). So I started less use of mobile, but it happens if I use more than a minute. Is there any problem? Than please prescribed me to cure from it.
I am looking for homeo treatment as I want to make my eyesight normal and also want to increase my height by few inches. Kindly reply as my age is 30 and I want to try on this treatment.
People may have weak eyes due to a variety of reasons. Astigmatism happens to be one of those reasons. When one is affected by astigmatism, it results in blurry vision. The eye has a part called the cornea, which is the outermost layer of the eye and is responsible for allowing light to enter. When the cornea is not shaped as it should be, it leads to astigmatism.
However, this is not the only condition under which it can occur. In fact, there are two different types of astigmatism. One is corneal astigmatism which is the result of an odd-shaped cornea. The other is lenticular astigmatism, which occurs when the lens has an incorrect shape. More often than not, people are born with astigmatism. However, there are chances of developing this eye disorder after an eye injury or after an eye disease.
How to diagnose?
There are a few ways in which astigmatism can be diagnosed.
- One of the most popular methods is the visual acuity test. This measures the distance at which a letter is read clearly, as compared to what it should be.
- Another way is by refraction. By placing lenses in front of the eyes, the way they focus light is measured.
- The third way by which astigmatism can be detected is by keratometry, also known as topography. Light is focused on the cornea and the reflection is measured to find the curvature of that area.
Treatment options
The easiest way to go about treating astigmatism is by using corrective lenses. This is usually the method of treatment for people whose astigmatism is not that bad. The lenses could either be a part of spectacles or used as contact lenses. The good part about contact lenses is that the field of view is wider.
Orthokeratology (Ortho-k) works to improve astigmatism by using lenses as well. However, the lenses are of the hard variety. These lenses are useful for corneal astigmatism patients as they reshape the eye. Usually, they are worn while sleeping and most people can have normal vision the next day. However, if one stops using them, the eye goes back to its original state. So, they are not a permanent solution.
Surgery, however, can be a permanent solution to astigmatism. LASIK and PRK are two of the most popular types. RK is also popular, but to a lesser extent. It is good to remember that the risks of surgery should be discussed with a doctor prior to undergoing one. In case you have a concern or query you can always consult an expert & get answers to your questions!

Share music on SpotifyDonald Bell shows you how to share music and make it a more social experience through Spotify.
Hey, I'm Donald Bell for cnet.com. Today, I'm going to show you all the ways you can share music using the Spotify to make it a more social experience. The first obvious step is down here on the Now Playing window. We'll find the Share button that will blast out a song link and a personal message to your links Facebook, Twitter, Spotify, or Microsoft Messenger accounts. You can get the same share option when you right-click on a playlist or any track on Spotify whether it's playing or not. This menu also offers direct weblink to the songs which you can plug-in to any e-mail or whatever social network or blog post that you want. Now, if you don't want to scream out your love of Neil Diamond to the entire world, you can also share music to individual friends by dragging and dropping songs on their icon and adding a message. On their end, they'll see the shared music in their inbox in the upper left-hand corner. Now, if you're a Last.fm user who's already comfortable sharing your listening habits in that arena, it's also worth mention that Spotify can track your plays and automatically post them to your Last.fm account. Open up the Preferences Menu and you'll see a Last.fm option right at the top. So, those are all the great ways I've found to share music on Spotify.

For their achievement in combining exceptional design, environmental sensitivity, and energy efficiency, five California nonresidential projects received awards of recognition from the 2007 Savings By Design Energy Efficiency Integration Awards program.
Every year, the recognition program, sponsored by Pacific Gas and Electric Company, San Diego Gas & Electric®, Southern California Edison, Southern California Gas Company, Sacramento Municipal Utility District, and The American Institute of Architects, California Council (AIACC), acknowledges the extra time and effort it takes to successfully integrate architectural excellence and energy efficiency.
The jurors agreed that the highly inventive solutions represented by the winners would be instructive to other designers in California and throughout the nation.
