Quilt Kits by Quilts & Other Notions typically includes most everything you need to make a quilt, such as a quilt pattern and pre-cut fabrics needed to make the quilt top.
While we believe it is more fun to choose your own fabric for a quilt project, we love the convenience of having everything in a bundle that's ready to use. Don't be afraid to incorporate some of your own fabric into your project!

I managed to snatch some hours in the evenings to finalise the headpiece I had designed some time ago. I found a gorgeous pink quipure lace fabric to embellish® with couture beading and proceeded to wrap with lace using a wire technique I learned and developed under the master Vladimir Statacuic The gorgeous Isabel Phillips from Belle model Management modelled the design on the day. Ruth Tate Sydney created a beautiful frock from the fabric to co-ordinate and Mink Hair and Beauty did an amazing job creating a hairstyle and makeup to compete the look. Its really a privilege to develop your ideas and skills and techniques and try to push the boundaries of your style and skill.
We hope you have found that wonderful outfit and created or purchased a stylish matching headpiece. Here at Embellish we have been very busy making many beautiful bespoke pieces.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As favourable macro conditions in the Eurozone spark a vibrant debate on the timing of the European Central Bank's (ECB) turn towards monetary policy tightening, major changes in the Bank's key personnel are imminent. Four of the six-member Executive Board will be replaced in 2018-2019, and one more early in 2020. This window coincides just about perfectly with the economic cycle. Europe is becoming ripe for monetary policy normalisation -- more conventional interest rates (as compared to negative deposit rates) and divestment from the expansive quantitative easing (QE) program.
"Doves," who have been in place on the ECB Executive Board since the crisis period, have served the loose monetary policy framework of recent years well. These policies were critical to stabilising the financial markets and helping beleaguered economies rebuild. As the bloc's macro conditions are increasingly suitable for a tightening stance, the possible changing of the guard towards a significantly more "hawkish" tone does raise eyebrows about the durability of the Eurozone's economic recovery. Credit growth remains lacklustre and inflation persists at below target rates. This commentary discusses these imminent staffing changes and the macro backdrop on the bloc.

On the West African savannah, there's an extraordinary village in Burkina Faso called Tiébélé. It's been settled since the 15th century by the royal court of the Kassena people. There is something very special about this village's earthen architecture.
Each home is a work of art. Although the village is closed to tourists, photographer Rita Willaert traveled to Tiébélé in 2009 and took these incredible photos.
The villagers have had some interest in opening up their community to tourists for economic reasons, but there's a great concern about the conservation of their structures and traditions as well. To date, Tiébélé is still very isolated.
Travel blogger Olga Stavrakis writes of the village, "… It was only through a process of year long negotiations that we were permitted to enter the royal palace the entrance of which is pictured here. They were awaiting us and the grand old men of the village, the nobility, were all seated waiting for us. Each of the villages has muslims and animists (local religions) and no one much cares who believes in what. However, we were told in advance that we must not wear anything red and we may not carry an umbrella. Only the chiefly noble family is permitted that privilege and to do so would constitute a great affront to our hosts… "
The chief's small door is for protection.
The interior of the structures is more simple, but still artfully elegant.
"Most meals are cooked in one pot over a brazier," explains Olga, "There is little cutting and preparation required. They generally make a starch foofoo or thick paste like porridge which is then dipped into a sauce of vegetables and peppers. The richer the family the more goes into the sauce. Foofoo is made of cassava, yam, plantain, or corn."
Some of the most ornate structures are mausoleums for the dead.
The structures and the decoration are part of the Kassena cultural traditions.

A local government boss who publicly backed social workers at the height of the Baby P scandal has now been accused of suppressing a series of complaints about the abuse of children by Pakistani gangs.
Andy Couldrick was the head of Children's Services at Oxfordshire County Council but later moved to Wokingham Borough Council where is now earns £155k a year as their Chief Executive.
At the height of the abuse in Oxfordshire a former police officer who worked at the council claimed to have witnessed a 13-year-old in bed with an adult. The whistleblower also claimed abuse was taking place at a property Asian men visited during the night.
However, instead of taking action against the Pakistani men a senior Oxfordshire County Council official allegedly complained about the whistleblower to their line manager. The manager in turn apologised for the whistleblower's "unprofessional behaviour" and he stopped making further complaints about abuse.
As result of the inaction of Oxfordshire County Council around 370 children were raped by gangs of men. Today's Daily Mail claims the senior official at the Council who made the complaint about the whistleblower was Andy Couldrick.
Mr Couldrick is a controversial figure in local government, having used his Twitter account to complain about the "disgraceful treatment" of social workers during a documentary on Baby P. He also accused politicians and the media of a "witch hunt" against the profession.
He went on to say of the Panorama documentary: "Such a poor, partial, sensationalist piece of journalism, offering no right of reply for my authority. Shame on you Panorama." Baby P had been seen by Haringey Social Services multiple times but they failed to take steps to prevent his mother murdering him mother in 2007.
Simon Danczuk, MP for Rochdale, expressed his anger at the allegation a whistleblower in Oxfordshire was silenced. He told the Independent: "We should really celebrate whistleblowers – people who are trying to improve public services – not denigrate them and make their life difficult. This was someone concerned about the welfare of Oxfordshire children being told to shut up."
Andy Couldrick claimed the complaints at the time related to the noise from the property not the abuse taking place there. He said: "The concerns appeared to relate to noise and nuisance at the property occupied by the young woman's father. I consulted with her social worker, and the manager of the home in which she was living, and they in turn with Thames Valley Police officers."
He continued: "We did not understand this type of abuse and its scale at that time, and were focused on individual young people." Couldrick's spokeswoman would not comment on whether he made a complaint about the whistleblower.

Columbia Basin College
University Website: www.columbiabasin.edu
Coordinates: 46°15′4.38″N 119°7′17.38″W / 46.2512167°N 119.1214944°W / 46.2512167; -119.1214944 Columbia Basin College is a college based in Pasco, Washington. The College offers many associate degrees and one baccalaureate business degree in applied management.
Despite having been built on the site of a Wasco Indian burial ground, the Pasco campus has seen substantial growth in the past decade, adding new facilities to accommodate the large demand for higher education from a growing community. These facilities include the Thornton Center, the Moore Observatory, the Business Building, the Center for Career and Technical Education, the College Foundation, new athletic fields, and a research farm on its ~150 acres (0.61 km2), along with a Health Science Center at its Richland campus. Infrastructure improvements also include substantial remodels to the Hawk Union Building, the Library, the Science Building, the Administration Building, the Fitness Center, and the I-Complex. In 2008-2009, the college Full-Time Equivalent students totaled just over 6,000, which represented more than 13,000 headcount students. A third of these students are Latino; the College holds designation as a Title V Hispanic-Serving Institution.
Permanent faculty members, who are well-prepared for their instructional areas, hold a minimum of a master's degree in the discipline (i.e., MBA, MSN, etc.) in areas of transfer and basic skills/transitional education, and the appropriate degrees and/or certifications in vocational areas. Doctoral or M.F.A.-prepared faculty members include graduates from a wide geographic range; for example, Claremont, Berkeley, Stanford, UCLA, Pittsburgh, Washington State University, University of Paris, American University, Mississippi State, University of Oregon, Arizona State University, University of Minnesota, Humboldt State, University of Montana, University of Cincinnati, San Diego State, Pacific University, Montana State, and University of Washington.
Columbia Basin College's mascot is the Hawk, and its teams play in the NWAACC. Some of the college's students are teenagers who come from nearby high schools under the State of Washington's Running Start program. CBC also works closely with the Tri-Cities branch of Washington State University to complement each other's programs and avoid overlap, with CBC providing the first two years education of a four-year degree from the branch campus. Across the street from the Health Science Center in nearby Richland is the college's main Richland campus, which has been re-purposed through a five-year renewable loan to the school districts of Pasco, Kennewick, and Richland for Delta High School. Delta is a "STEM" High School focused on Science, Technology Engineering, and Mathematics education.
Richard Cummins, Ph.D. is the current president of the College. Dr. Cummins succeeded President Emeritus Lee Thornton, Ph.D. in July 2008.

My schedule through the week and weekend has its daily ritual of reading the morning paper with toasted bagel and coffee at the neighbourhood java shop. In addition to getting my news fix, the quiet time sets me up for the day. Sometimes, friends and acquaintances drop by my table to say "hi" and then leave me be. Today, an acquaintance sat down facing me, eyed my bagel, and said she would order one too. My newspaper was not yet open and I looked at it furtively –…Continue

Those of us who serve others by helping them be healthier and happier – and I include myself in this group – look to fulfill our life purpose with dedication and perseverance. This single-minded focus is a serious commitment that can easily exclude that 3-letter word "fun". When someone asked me, "What do you do for fun?" I was stymied and had no ready answer at the time. Since that question was asked (and it's been more than once), I've realized it's important…Continue

How do you feel when someone gives you an unexpected gift? A little shy, embarrassed perhaps, flustered, perhaps even self-conscious that someone would have thought to remember you on an occasion other than your birthday? People really do like to feel wanted and cared for. Yet when an expression of caring comes our way, there's an initial response to minimize or deflect it away as unimportant – as if we're not meant to have this kind of abundance. Next time…Continue

Beloved by those who cherish scrappy survivors, Joseph Losey managed to make some dazzlingly off-kilter films, both in Hollywood (1948's subversive The Boy with Green Hair) and in his adopted England after he was blacklisted. Three projects from his European rebound were collaborations with the playwright Harold Pinter, including Accident, as adventurous in its own way as was Antonioni's Blow-Up a year prior (or The Usual Suspects, come to think of it).
To preserve the movie's whomp of an impact, we're just going to give you the barest facts—the first scene will do. It's nighttime, and offscreen, a car violently crashes. In the eerie stillness, a sweater-clad, middle-aged Brit runs to the wreck, extracting a dazed young woman (but not her date, bleeding out next to her). He takes her home and calls the cops.
Eventually, in flashbacks, we'll get to know stammering professor Stephen (Dirk Bogarde), glamorous Anna (Jacqueline Sassard) and Pinter's effortless way with bottled-up fury. Bring a date, because you'll need to talk this one through.

Kenton Labour Councillors Stephen Lambert, Ged Bell and Jane Streather have pledged £4,000 to improve Kenton's environment.
A plan to clear up stubborn litter hot-spots across Kenton, The Gardens, North Kenton, Kenton Bar, Montagu, Kenton Crescent, Gosforth, Cowgate and nearby Kenton Dene has been agreed.
The programme of environmental improvements, known as ''Greening Kenton'', comes as a result of a ward wide consultation exercise, with eight out of ten residents, making 'quality of life'' top of their concerns.
Residents wanted action to clean up litter hotspots, cut back overgrown hedges, neighbourhood litter picks, street planters and the fixing of damaged fencing in kids' play areas.
Labour Councillor Stephen Lambert said ''The environment we live in is irreplaceable. Every resident and local business wants to live in a clean neighbourhood and that's why we've put extra investment to support both the city council, YHN and Kenton School to make Kenton a clean and green place to live in.''
£4,250 has been awarded by the Kenton Ward Committee to fund the work in 2017 to 2018 with the social enterprise charity, Skills Mill, carrying out works on -
· The 400 yard public footpath between Kenton Bar to Kenton School - to cleared of rubbish, pruning of shrubs and removal of bulky items;
· Kenton Crescent play area to be repainted and fencing replaced;
· Six planters with winter pansies to be installed at Arlington Ave, North Kenton and Kenton Lane shopping precincts.
· A 'wild flower meadow' to be seeded on the public green space known as Kenton Dene.
Your Homes Newcastle have also agreed to fund the clear out of copses next to Kenton Dene with a view of installing an extra wild flower meadow between Cowgate and Montagu estates whilst Kenton Academy has pledged to cut back the perimeter fence, prune bushes and carry out student litter picks.
Newcastle City Council's Enviro Schools Officer will also be visiting four local primary schools (St Cuthberts, Kenton Bar, Mountfield, Wyndham) to help raise environmental awareness amongst pupils.
To support the 'Greening Kenton' there will also be a wild flower meadow planted on the old bowling green next to Kenton Park Sports centre while large litter bins have been rolled out across the localities replacing old vandalised ones.

New Orleans, LA - Feb 7th, 2018
An interview with Cardiogram co-founders Johnson Hsieh (JH) and Brandon Ballinger (BB).
What's the news?
JH: A new N=14,011 study shows heart rate sensors you're wearing already—like the Apple Watch, Android Wear, Garmin, or Fitbits—can detect early signs of diabetes. Researchers at Cardiogram and UCSF validated the accuracy of DeepHeart, a deep neural network, in distinguishing between people with and without diabetes, achieving 85% accuracy on a large data set which included 200 million heart rate and step count measurements.
Where and when is this research on wearables and diabetes being presented?
BB: The paper was accepted to the Thirty-Second AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-18) in New Orleans. Avesh Singh (Software Engineer, Cardiogram) and Johnson Hsieh (Co-Founder, Cardiogram) will present the research in a session titled "DeepHeart: Semi-Supervised Sequence Learning for Cardiovascular Risk Prediction", at 9am CST on Wednesday, February 7.
Why does it matter?
BB: According to the CDC, more than 100 million U.S. adults are now living with prediabetes or diabetes. 1 in 4 of those with diabetes are undiagnosed and, even worse, 88.4% of people with prediabetes don't realize they have it [1]. While there have been many attempts to build special-purpose glucose-sensing hardware to detect diabetes, this is the first large-scale study showing that ordinary heart rate sensors—when paired with an artificial intelligence-based algorithm—can identify early signs of diabetes. By detecting diabetes earlier, we can help people live longer and healthier lives.
What other health conditions can DeepHeart detect?
JH: Cardiogram and UCSF have previously validated DeepHeart's accuracy at detecting hypertension (chronic high blood pressure), sleep apnea, and atrial fibrillation. These studies were presented at the American Heart Association's annual scientific sessions in November 2017 [5] and Heart Rhythm Society in May 2017 [6]. These health conditions are important since 19% of people with hypertension, 80% of people with sleep apnea, and roughly 20% of people with atrial fibrillation remain undiagnosed [2-4].
Who's behind this new study?
BB: The study is a collaboration between UC San Francisco's Health eHeart Study (https://health-eheartstudy.org) and digital health startup Cardiogram (https://cardiogr.am). Cardiogram was founded in 2016 by ex-Google tech leads Johnson Hsieh and Brandon Ballinger, is backed by Andreessen-Horowitz's Bio Fund, was named the best iPhone app of 2016 by iMore, and launched for Android in October 2017. The Health eHeart Study is an ambitious, online study to end heart disease which has enrolled more than 100,000 participants worldwide.
How was DeepHeart trained to detect diabetes? What were the challenges?
JH: 14,011 users of Cardiogram for Apple Watch and Android Wear were recruited into UCSF's Health eHeart Study. Then, 33,628 person-weeks of health sensor data was used to train a deep neural network by presenting it with samples from people with and without diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, atrial fibrillation, and high cholesterol.
Typical deep learning algorithms are data-hungry, requiring millions of labeled examples, but in medicine, each label represents a human life at risk—for example, a person who recently suffered a heart attack or experienced an abnormal heart rhythm. To solve this challenge, researchers applied two semi-supervised deep learning techniques ("unsupervised sequence pretraining" and "weakly-supervised heuristic pretraining") which made use of both labeled and unlabeled heart rate data to improve accuracy.
The final deep neural network contained 564,227 neural network weights and both convolutional and recurrent layers.
How, exactly, was accuracy measured?
JH: DeepHeart's accuracy was measured using 12,790 person-weeks of data from a separate set of participants (whose data was not used during training). The final c-statistic was 0.8451 (85% accuracy), where 0.5 corresponds to random performance and 1.0 corresponds to a perfect classifier.
Why can diabetes be detected from heart rate and step count data?
JH: Your heart is connected with your pancreas via the autonomic nervous system. As people develop the early stages of diabetes, their pattern of heart rate variability shifts. In 2015, the Framingham Heart Study showed that high resting heart rate and low heart rate variability predicts who will develop diabetes over a 12-year period (https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/100/6/2443/2829673). In 2005, the ARIC study showed that heart rate variability declines faster in diabetics than non-diabetics over a 9-year period (http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/28/3/668.short).
Does Cardiogram have any user statistics to share?
BB: Yes. More than a quarter of a million people use Cardiogram actively, and 73% of them open the app on a daily basis. In an abstract presented at the American Heart Association's scientific sessions [7], Cardiogram's user retention was 5x higher than the first five ResearchKit apps, exceeding even Twitter or Instagram.
What types of wearables does Cardiogram work with, and where can users download it?
BB: Cardiogram is currently compatible with Apple Watch (all versions) and any Android Wear watch with a heart rate sensor, including the Huawei Watch, LG Watch Sport, LG Watch Urbane, Moto 360, New Balance RunIQ, Polar M600, Montblanc Summit, Misfit Vapor, and Mobvoi Ticwatch S&E. Cardiogram can be downloaded from the App Store or Play Store at the below links:
Where can I download the paper?
JH: "DeepHeart: Semi Supervised Sequence Learning for Cardiovascular Risk Prediction" is available here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wk4ll59uafixk1j/deepheart_aaai_2018.pdf?dl=0
What's next?
BB: While these research results are promising, ultimately, Cardiogram's goal is to save lives in the real world. In 2018, you'll see us launch new features to incorporate DeepHeart directly within the Cardiogram app for iOS and Android. Stay tuned!

Cardiogram's mission is to reinvent preventive medicine with consumer wearables like Android Wear, Apple Watch, Garmin, and Fitbit.
More than 250,000 people use Cardiogram for Apple Watch or Android Wear each month, generating more than 30 billion heart rate measurements with which we've trained DeepHeart, an AI-based algorithm to assess cardiovascular risk. In a sequence of studies with UCSF Cardiology, DeepHeart has shown high accuracy at detecting atrial fibrillation, hypertension, sleep apnea, and diabetes.
Cardiogram was founded in 2016 by ex-Google tech leads Johnson Hsieh and Brandon Ballinger, is backed by Andreessen-Horowitz's Bio Fund, was named the best iPhone app of 2016 by iMore, and launched for Android in October 2017.
Cardiogram is available for both iOS and Android here: App Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cardiogram/id1000017994?ls=1&mt=8 Play Store (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cardiogram.v1

Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin shells made using ceramic material. These are bonded to the front and top surfaces of the teeth and are an excellent, simple and versatile way of enhancing a person's smile. They can be used to fix crooked, chipped, stained and inappropriately spaced teeth. Veneers are virtually undetectable to others and are resistant to stains caused by tea, coffee, and even tobacco products. With proper care, they can give you a healthy and beautiful smile for over 10 years.
The procedure of installing veneers on the teeth takes place in the following steps:
First, we will evaluate your teeth and your overall dental health to understand if veneers are a good option for you. To begin the installation of veneers, we will first prepare the tooth/teeth by removing some part of the enamel to allow for the added thickness due to the veneer. After this, a mold of the teeth is taken and sent to a dental lab where your custom veneer is fabricated. Until then, a temporary restoration will be placed over your prepared tooth.
During your next appointment, the veneer is placed over the tooth using glycerin or water to check its color and fit. Once the veneer is ready for application, the tooth is cleaned, and a special dental cement is used to bond the veneer onto your tooth. A special curing light is used to harden the bond. We may ask you to return for a follow-up visit one or two weeks later to see how your teeth are functioning with the new restoration in place.
Veneers are easy to maintain just like your natural teeth using a good home care regimen comprising of brushing and flossing. It is not uncommon to experience a slight bit of sensitivity to heat and cold after the placement of your veneer. This should go away in a couple of weeks or so.
For more information about how veneers can positively transform your smile, please schedule a consultation at Just Dental.

Missouri town mourns after gunman kills 7, then himself
TYRONE, Missouri (AP):
Residents in a remote area of southern Missouri were up to yesterday still trying to come to grips with what could cause a man to kill seven people, including four of his own relatives, in a night-time shooting spree that spanned four homes.
The shooter, identified by authorities as 36-year-old Joseph Jesse Aldridge, used a .45-calibre handgun to kill two people each at three homes, one person at another, and then himself, in a reign of violence that began late last Thursday night.
All of the victims lived in or near the tiny, unincorporated town of Tyrone in the rolling hills of Missouri's Ozarks region, about 40 miles from the Arkansas border. All of the victims were adults.
Texas County Sheriff James Sigman said people generally have felt safe in small towns like Tyrone.
"Start locking your doors," the sheriff said. "The world's changing.
The motive for the shooting was still under investigation up to yesterday. The few people in town willing to talk about it knew little about Aldridge, described as somewhat reclusive in an otherwise tight-knit area. Some said they'd seen him around and talked to him, but not enough to form an opinion.

A Flock Of Seagulls' Ali Score turned 64 this past Monday; their 1982 smash hit I Ran (So Far Away) holds the record for the most plays on MTV, largely because when it was released, there just weren't that many other music videos around — and because MTV execs figured that its semi-futuristic vibe was exactly what they needed.
So, we're giving a nod to the 80s on The Q's Rockline Theme Thursday today. Just about any rock song which was released in that decdade is probably fair game.
If there's a particular song you'd like me to play for you, send me an e-mail request, or join me at noon oh five and call or text me at 250 475 100.3 as we, like, totally gnarl it up, on The Q's Rockline Theme Thursday.
Fire up the audio player below to hear some musical selections which would get thumbs up from the the Rockline Theme Thursday judging panel today.

South Africa has one of the harshest climates in the world. When our sun shines, it scorches; and, if you live inland, you know all about the dryness. Here's a quick master class on how to keep your skin well hydrated and protected all summer long.
"The best time to apply any of your skin products is early in the morning or late at night, before the sun evaporates all your efforts. Skin absorbs and locks in moisture much better during these times"
"Party season can mean lots of makeup and you may find that your skin is very oily. Try double cleansing to cleanse deeply, without stripping your skin's natural oils. Start with an oil-based cleanser and follow with a foaming one for best results"
"Exfoliate your skin by rubbing in a circular movement, especially aroundthe thigh and buttocks area to stimulate blood circulation and reduce chances of getting cellulite"
"There's a 30-second magic window period from the time you get out of the bath or shower to when you apply moisturising products to the skin. This window period is the ideal time to apply product, as your skin is still slightly damp and absorbs better (like a sponge)"
"Drinking water throughout the day will help to keep the skin hydrated and youthful, and will also help to detoxify your entire body"

Hello, I am looking for anything on the following Alberti's:
Giuseppi Alberti was born 5-21-1894 in Sicily and died 68-11-1961 in New Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He married Theresa Costanzo on 6-22-1920 in Newark, New Jersey. Theresa Costanzao was born 5-21-1898 in Sicily and died 9-13-1937 in New Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Giuseppi Alberti, I am told, has his name on the Ellis Island monument in New York City as one of the immigrants who came thru there from Sicily.
Their children:
Vincent born 11-26-22 in New Toronto, Ont. Canada
Rosario born 12-16-24 in Newark, New Jersey
Joseph born 8-22-32in New Toronto, Ont. Canada
Rosario Alberti changed his name to Russell Alberts and died a few years ago in Misssouri.
I would appreciate any info on Guiseppe Alberti, who also may have changed his name in Canada to Alberts.

The Come and Get It singer, who has also been linked to DJ Zedd, admits she is scared of using sites like Tinder - but doesn't need because she has plenty of admirers.
The 23 year old says, "I would never go on Tinder! I think it would scare me. I go on dates. It's not that difficult - I'm a nice young lady."
But the currently-single pop star is in no rush to fall in love again: "I'm really stoked about being with myself right now," she states.

Beginning with his first vintage at Tertre Roteboeuf in 1978, François Mitjavile didn't need long to grow his (staunchly!) unclassified estate into one of the most respected names in St Emilion.
Part winemaker, part philosopher, Mitjavile is one of the great characters of Bordeaux. He could be considered almost Burgundian in his approach - the opulence and grandeur are for his wines, not his front gate, the cellars are not gilded halls and statues.
Mitjavile generally picks late, uses 100% new oak, and produces no second wine. Truly one of the personalities of the region.
Medium deep crimson. Beautiful complex dried roses, cherry, smoky oak aromas. Supple and sweet with lovely dried roses, leafy notes, fine al dente tannins and beautiful rich toasty/ roasted chesnut oak. Superb slinky dry tannins. Sensuous wine with chewy long finish. Wonderful and different.Tasted at Ch Tertre Rotebeouf.
97 points
The 2016 Le Tertre Roteboeuf is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc cropped at 35 hectoliters per hectare between 14-18 October. This year I was hosted by François' daughter Nina Mitjavile, who has been working alongside her father for several years. It has a wonderful bouquet, very pure and fresh. I anticipated that François Mitjavile might have been tempted to pick a little later like others, but it was an assiduous decision to have the fruit in the vat by the 18 October and lock in that freshness. The palate is very well balanced with fine tannin, extremely well judged acidity, the new oak present at the moment but in proportion with the fruit. This is a stylish Le Tertre-Rôteboeuf, very sensual and luxuriant with layers of crushed strawberry, blood oranges and raspberry fruit. In a word...irresistible.
96-98 points
Proprietor François Mitjavile and his daughter, Nina, craft uncompromisingly gorgeous wines from a tiny cellar in Saint-Émilion that looks more like Burgundy than Bordeaux. Their 2016 Tertre-Rôteboeuf is a real head-turner. Sweet, voluptuous and racy to the core, the 2016 exudes depth in every dimension. This is one of the more overt, exotically ripe 2016s readers will come across. Then again, that is one of the signatures of Tertre-Rôteboeuf, one of the most deeply personal and unique, artisan wines readers will find in Bordeaux today. Harvest took place on October 14 and 18.
94-97 points
Yields were much lower here than elsewhere in Saint-Émilion in 2016. Mark Savage's 38th vintage as UK importer. François Mitjavile rang Mark because Pascal Delbeck suggested it. Very rich and heady. Rich and round and lovely. Completely different in structure from all other Saint-Émilions. Round and voluptuous. Thick and sweet but not heavy. Hugely sensuous.
18/20 points
St.-Émilion is the star of Bordeaux's Right Bank, north of the Dordogne River. The rich red wines produced in St.-Émilion, based on Merlot and Cabernet Franc, are less tannic and generally more fruit-driven in flavour than the Cabernet-based wines of Left Bank. Merlot thrives on the plateaus high above the Dordogne, where the soil is filled with sand and clay, a perfect medium for creating opulent, fruit-forward wines. With a typically savoury character, St.-Émilion wines are sometimes called the "Burgundies of Bordeaux." These refined reds, with loads of finesse, are elegant companions to beef, chicken, pork and duck.
The wines of St.-Émilion were not included in the famous 1855 classification of Bordeaux, which ranked wines of the Left Bank. In 1955, St.-Émilion published its own classification, based on soil analysis, wine quality and reputation of the properties. Unlike the 1855 classification, St.-Emilion's system requires properties to continuously prove themselves. The list is revised regularly, most recently in 2012. There are two tiers within the classification, Premier Grand Cru Classé and Grand Cru Classé. There are currently just 18 Premier Grand Cru properties and 64 Grand Cru Classé properties.
The St.-Émilion appellation is home to hundreds of individual producers, enhancing the variety of wines made there. Many of the properties remain small, family-run enterprises, unlike the large châteaux of the Left Bank. The area is also the base of France's controversial micro-châteaux or garagiste wine movement; these innovative winemakers operate outside the traditional classification system, making very high quality (and very expensive) highly extracted wines.

Around 5:23 a.m. authorities received a call regarding a collision involving a wrong-way driver.
Sergeant Matthew Burgess with the CHP says a Nissan pickup truck entered I-5 south from J Street going the wrong way when Brian John Anderson, 58, driving a big rig in the number two lane, spotted the headlights.
Anderson, a resident of Tucson, Arizona, tried to brake then swerve to avoid the pickup but was unable to avoid the collision. Both vehicles went up in flames instantly upon impact.
The big rig driver was able to exit the truck cab but the Nissan driver died inside the car.
CHP has not identified the driver. They could also not identify the make or model of the Nissan because of the extent of the damage.
All traffic on I-5 south was redirected through Garden Highway and Richards Boulevard due to clean up efforts on the freeway. Part of the roadway underneath the freeway was also closed due to overhanging debris. All lanes reopened at 1:56 p.m.

Filipino American Association of Bucks County, Inc.
President: Grace L. Arnaiz, RN
Mailing Address:
Tel. 215-630-5403
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Click here to view FAABCI's 2015 "Pasko sa Nayon" book.
Almost 41 years ago in December 1973 a group of Filipinos headed by Ruben Admana held a Christmas party at the Holiday Inn in Bristol, Pennsylvania attended by all the Filipino residents of Bucks County and turned out to be a big success. This important event triggered the birth of what is now known by everybody as The Filipino-American Association of Bucks County, Inc. (FAABCI). Since its founding FAABCI made its mark within the our Council as one of its most pro-active members.
At the recent "Pasko sa Nayon" event held at the Radisson in Trevose, PA; FAABCI's work was highlighted with a slideshow presenting their work with underprivileged children in the Philippines. Grace Leano Arnaiz was also sworned in as the new president.
During the year, FAABCI participates in many events around the community and work closely with other members of the FECGP. We encourage our members to send it their photos for us to select for publication.
Immediate Past President Nida Imperial reports: FAABCI have been sponsoring children in the Philippines through Pearl S. Buck International for several years now and FAABCI Board Member Norma Yabut regularly visit hese kids every year. Last February 16 & 17 Jay and myself, Rick and Norma Yabut with the staff and Director of Pearl S, Buck International Manila visited 13 children; 8 of them sponsored by FAABCI.
Since this was my first time to visit the kids I was so excited and emotional. I cannot stop the tears of joy and happiness and was able to interviewed them: how they are in school and how they feel that they have a sponsor.
They told us that they are lucky and life has changed and they are inspired to study harder to have a better future. They were equally thankful with our little "pasalubongs" and the Christmas money that we always give for the holidays.
We could not forget the warm welcome of their families who proudly showed us their Posters outside their doors saying Welcome FAABCI members. Our 2 days visit in Subic Bay, Zambales, Pampanga and Bulacan was a very unforgettable and wonderfully special.
One of the Kid presented us his gift: an artwork from school saying "Thank You FAABCI for sponsoring me. Hope and wish that we could join the Yabuts every year and them again. Please if you could try to sponsor some more of these unfortunate children in the Philippines."
FAABCI's support of the Amerasian and Filipino children in the Philippines has become its major commitment. It has collaborated with Pearl S. Buck International, as The non Profit international child assistance agency set up by Pearl S. Buck in 1964. The foundation initiated services in the Philippines in 1968. A majority of the children in it's programs are Amerasians. The half American children whose fathers have abandoned them but now it's mostly the Filipino children. FAABCI has sponsored 4 children started by Marcial Mariano until to the present we have now sponsored 6 children until they graduated from High School. Three of them are in college 1 being supported by Mr. & Mrs. Stella & Marcial Mariano and 2 are supported by Mr. & Mrs. Rick & Norma Yabut.
In support of its goals, FAABCI celebrates the annual Pasko sa Nayon (Christmas in the Village) as a major fund raising event and our Spring Dance. For the last 38 years and 17 years it has been well attended by our Kababayans and Friends in which the FAABCI members and officers present cultural dances in December choreographed by Winda Almazan.

Starting a blog may have been on your radar for quite a while. Actually getting around to it may be the problem. Many organizations and groups can benefit from having a fully functional blog. Understanding the process required from www.howtostartablog101.com can be helpful. This can be done within 20 minutes time and you will be up and running.
At www.howtostartablog101.com you will learn not only how to start a blog but what some of the benefits are. Organizations ultimately want to gain support, which require the public's attention. This may be financial support for the works of the organization. Attracting volunteers is another consideration for these blogs. Using the posting system will help you to achieve these goals.
Select a Proven Platform
WordPress has been around since 2003 and is considered one of the truly proven platforms. There are more than 60 million sites associated with this platform. You can build one specifically for business content or start a blog. Since there are so many users, it is possible to build a consistent following. These are often people looking for causes to support and volunteer opportunities.
Provide Information
The information that you provide to site visitors is important. This is not only how you tell your story but reach out to supporters. Contenting in a real way is critical to this process. This is why many organizations use their blogs. They have a vast array of posts that achieve different goals. You may want to post information that details specific topics or promotional events.
Update Content
Blogs have a social media appeal that followers utilize. This is why it is important to regularly update the content presented there. Providing fresh content that showcases achievements and goals is paramount. Organizations that are just beginning need real life volunteers not matter where they are located. This includes volunteers that can lead and direct activity. Blogs are tools that can make this happen.
Gaining Support
The support that an organization requires can be diverse. The initial things that people think of are money and volunteers. Other types of donations can be extremely useful for these groups. Your blog posts offer you the opportunity to present what the needs actually are. Attracting this support is important no matter the size of the organization.
Blog posts generally range from at least 250 to 300 words. Some of these even reach article length of 500 words or more. There are creative tools to composing these posts that can help your organization. The use of keywords, for example, could steer your Search Engine Optimization goals. Most blogs are attached to business style websites.
These are built to provide content about organizations and their executive staff. The future goals and plans are presented in a concise manner on the website. Blogs allow for more detailed information that connects with readers. It is also possible to link posts to donation pages. This is a great way to gain financial and operational support for your cause.

I did a 5K today. Yeah. Did that.
Ok, I walked it, but I did it. I can add it to my list of items to check off my bucket list. Walking a 5K isn't spectacular as far as accomplishments, but I can be proud of it because it rests up there next to driving cross-country (both ways), living abroad (for 3 years!), learning a second language (as an adult), and being published on a magazine's blog bi-monthly (that equals being paid to write). I have done lots of cool things, I worked hard at them even though at the time many seemed to just kind of happen.
Now I am older. I'm a single mom to two young kids. I don't really feel I have the liberty to just pack my hiking backpack and hop on a plain to go take a seasonal field job anymore. I don't really even have the liberty to just uproot and move to the other side of the country – or even the next town over. I am responsible and I am proud of that. I am stable and I provide my kids a stable life. Yet, I admit I struggle with feeling tied a lot. I did feel free before, I feel kind of stuck now.
But I did a 5K today. I liked it, though I don't thing it wasn't totally my thing. It was held in my small town so I thought it would be nice to walk for a cause. It was. Yet once you add in the element of competition, I'm done. I compete against myself and that's about it. It was no leisurely walk either, it was an hour long power walk. Which was good exercise but not really my kinda thing. I'd rather go pay the $8 to get the kids and I into a state park and stroll along looking for salamanders and identifying trees.
Don't get me wrong, part of me loved it, I guess, and left going, "Yeah, it would be awesome to get in shape and go all around the region to participate in these things." But the other part of me thought that it'd rather not be in the crowd.
I don't know if I will participate in another, but I do feel like I accomplished something today. Yep, something else checked off my bucket list. Something else that just kind of happened. This is what happens when you choose life, choose to live rather than sit and watch life go by passively. This is life lived. And it is sweet.
Share your thoughts: What are some awesome things you've checked off of your bucket list?

The camera I had set up for star trails happen to capture the Chinese satellite booster that burned up rather spectacularly over Reno and Las Vegas.

Britain's Bionic Athlete Claire Lomas
Attention Iron Man fans. Powered suits of armor like the one designed by fictional industrialist/engineer Tony Stark may soon save or improve the lives of real people.
In 2011, a motorized exoskeleton created by engineering students at the University of California, Berkeley allowed classmate Austin Whitney to walk across the stage to receive his diploma. Now, English athlete Claire Lomas is making medical history as the first paraplegic to use an exoskeleton to get around home and town.
Lomas, who was paralyzed from the chest down by a horseback-riding accident in 2007, walked a marathon and recently lighted the Paralympic cauldron in London's Trafalger Square wearing a device developed by Israel-based ARGO Medical. The ReWalk system supports the body's weight and allows the wearer to stand, sit, and move forward by tilting to indicate the desire to take a step.
Exoskeleton research has been going on for 50 years, but only recently have advances in software, sensors, and other technology made the machines practical. So far, most systems are found in specialized settings. Until Lomas suited up, for instance, the ReWalk exoskelton was used exclusively in rehabilitation clinics, with a therapist accompanying the patient and providing constant step-by-step guidance.
Dubbed the "Bionic Woman" by Britain's press, Lomas is the first to use an exoskeleton to independently move around her home, climb stairs, and walk around the neighborhood. Earlier this year, she suited up and completed the London Marathon, taking 55,000 steps in 17 days of often-wicked weather and raising about $350,000 for research on spinal damage. But routine activities, like standing up at a bar, are just as gratifying. "To be stood up in this means everything to me," Lomas told The Independent.
Watch Claire Lomas cross the finish line:
ARGO Medical estimates that 250,000 of the 6 million wheelchair users in America and Europe could benefit from the exoskeleton. Company chief Larry Jasinski hopes one day to see "ReWalking" as a part of daily life. The system's $70,000 price may deter potential customers, however. It's also slower on flat surfaces than a wheelchair.
For many paralyzed individuals, the benefits of independent movement outweigh the disadvantages. The military reportedly is interested in using exoskeletons for wounded warriors. U.S. defense contractor Raytheon has developed an experimental "wearable robot" that lets soldiers shoulder three times a typical load.
As for Lomas, her plans for the next year include a London-to-Paris bicycle ride using a special bike that artificially stimulates the paralyzed rider's own muscles to speed it along.

#Life Lessons
I struggled to accept this for a while but I've reconciled that the fact that you don't see my light and my value is really your issue. Yes it affects me in the short term, but the continued lack of insight on your end will surely bring you to your own demise. This doesn't bring me any joy but I release my attachment as I understand this lesson will come to you on it's own time. The best that I can do for me, is to take the lesson and be better and When you know better, you do better. – Oprah Winfrey

Life routine as the art by illustrator Anton Gudim
Modesty is the soul of wit. And no words are needed. The extraordinary irony in the art of Moscow illustrator Anton Gudim do it itself.
The artist, who touched souls of thousands social networks users, transforms the daily routine into sardonic illustrations. By the way, more recently the number of Anton's subscribers in Instagram reached the mark of 100,000 followers!
They say "it would be ridiculous if weren't so sad." Now we can not only hear but also see the real meaning of this phrase. But Anton somehow makes people laugh at what in the depths of the soul disturbs absolutely every person. But it's easier to live with a smile, isn't it?
© Anton Gudim / instagram.com/gudim_public
Not that often it possible to meet a talented and modest artist who put his creativity before personal life. SFG Magazine has talked with Anton and asked him a few questions.
— The Internet is full of your works! I think it's time for all social media users to find out more about the person, which literally illustrates their life. How do you get an idea of illustrations? After all, not everyone can turn, say, his morning routine into an art.
— I believe that I don't have a special talent for inventing ideas. Everyone can find something interesting or strange in his surrounding, you just need to try to look at thing more accurate and move in this direction.
— As far as we know, you have a technical background. Your love for illustration appeared before you choose a specialty or it was born on pages of lecture notes?
— It's really nice that you are interested in my biography :-) My brother and I really loved to draw when we were younger. Later the school was started and then — a university. I also drew to amuse myself and my friends. But it was never for me a "matter of life". I had the skill to "draw something nice" and didn't develop it and didn't apply it outside of my circle. Maybe the fact that I have become an illustrator was influenced by my technical specialty, where everything was too uncreative. I began to draw to somehow compensate for the lack of creativity in my life.

— Tell us about your way as a professional illustrator and what was your first order?
— But I'm not a professional illustrator, so you can't draw blood out of a stone :-) As I already said, I've been drawing all my life, and if we are talking about drawing not for self-joy, it was started with drawings for my friends (which I usually did pretty bad) and my attempts to create decals for t-shirts. But I don't really remember what was the first order that I was paid for.
— Are you familiar with modern trends in illustration?
— Um... Apparently, I'm not taking it too serious. If we are talking about trends, then I don't really know what is going on there, but what goes to artists, I do follow some of them on social media.

© Anton Gudim / instagram.com/gudim_public
— How does the illustration change with time? Do you see the difference between, say, today and 30 years ago?
— When I was little, I was surrounded by illustrated books, comics, cartoons and magazines of the 90's. And everything from that time was so different. I didn't follow any particular style, and for me the main thing was realism. Actually, I don't think I'm an expert in thing that go with art of illustration. Now there are a lot of different things around, and I can see only a small part, so I don't have the whole picture.
— What about modern illustrators?
— I think that Rob Gonsalves and Pete Revonkorpi are pretty good. But I don't think we can call them modern or trendy.

— You definitely have your own style. How would you describe it?
— My style was formed without my participation. I just draw, and it lives its own life. I started with prints, and drew them in a vector, so my style corresponds to this.
— Tell us about your most interesting project.
— My own :-) I just draw and sign Gudim at the bottom. The best thing about it — there are no boundaries.
© Anton Gudim / instagram.com/gudim_public
© Anton Gudim / instagram.com/gudim_public
— Despite the fact that people most likely to relate to your art, there are always those who can make you feel insecure. And I don't mean constructive criticism, but the standard "I don't like it", "It sucks", etc. Does it affect you and your desire to draw?
— Of course, it can drag anyone down. Whatever you do, there always will be dissatisfied people. But in general it does not affect my desire to draw, it would be foolish to give up on everything just because someone offended me on the Internet :-)
— Can you give an advice to beginners on how to stand out from the crowd and become a recognizable author, like you did?
— You just need to draw a lot. Everyone has period of life when you stop seeing the meaning of things you do. I think it's completely normal, just never stop and keep doing what you do.

Hey Everyone! Thanks for stopping by Novel Descent. My name is Melanie, I am born and raised in Canada and an avid reader and fan girl. My time usually revolves around reading (obviously), gaming and watching movies. I am also completely horror movie addict – I've seen it all. Most days are spent with my two fur babies. One is a Chug (Chihuahua/Pug mix) named Scully and the other is a mix (unsure sure of what) that was rescued from the shelter named Pepper. They are my heart. You can see them in the photo I've put up. Yes, my dogs go to photoshoots! I'm just that kind of person!
I am not currently working, as I am disabled now. I did; however, get my degree in criminology and sociology. I have a particular interest in books surrounding mental illness as I have suffered from PTSD, depression and anxiety for most of my life and am always looking for good representation. Chronic illness is another subject close to my heart, as again I am now disabled so I'm always looking for books where the main protagonist is also disabled.
I mostly read YA, New Adult and Middle-grade novels. I have recently been getting more and more into graphic novels and intend to start reviewing those as well. I enjoy most genres, my favorite being fantasy, science-fiction, horror and contemporary.
On this blog you can expect to find reviews on both new and older releases. I like to keep it varied so I'm not exclusively reviewing the hottest trends in the book community. You will also find books hauls, wrap-ups, and various topic discussions.
I am always happy to meet new friends and chat about books – always up for book chats! I normally can't participate in buddy reads because I co-run a couple of groups and I host book-of-the month reads in those (more info below). However, don't be shy to send me a message or a friend request at any of my social media accounts.
Instagram: @noveldescent
Goodreads: Melanie (Novel Descent)
Twitter: @noveldescent
Email: email@example.com
If you are looking to request an in-depth review then please check out my review policy.
I also co-run two book groups. One is on Facebook and the other is on Goodreads. You are more than welcome to join in on the fun.
Forgotten YA Gems
Forgotten YA Gems is a Goodreads group. Ever get tired of all the bookgroups doing the same new releases? This club only reads YA books that are at least five years old. June's Book-of-the-Month is The Raven Boys. Be sure to join us! You can join by clicking the photo or going to Forgotten YA Gems on Goodreads.
Life & Life
Life & Lit is a Facebook group book community. We talk about all kinds of books, have a book-of-the-month read, contests, reading challenges, and lots more. Come join the fun! The more the merrier. To join click on the picture above or by going to Life & Lit on Facebook.
