The fundraisers that we've featured for #FundraiserFriday have come in all shapes and sizes and all ages and abilities. Earlier on this year, we featured 83-year-old Margaret Pogson who jumped out of a plane to fundraise for Parkinson's UK. And now we are delighted to feature 10-year-old Rickaide Bell who is cycling 30 miles by herself to raise money for Erskine.
Rickaide, who is 10-years-old, decided to put her new bike "to good use" and raise money for the charity which is close to her heart, telling us that she is cycling the 30 miles for Erskine; "This charity means a lot to me as my papa was in the army & my other papa WWII and not only do Erskine help our hero veterans but their families also". Erskine is a veterans charity which was founded in 1916 to care for Servicemen and women who had been injured in active service. Their services now extend way beyond this with speech and language therapy, care homes and commercial businesses which employ veterans and supported personnel and disabled workers.
Rickaide will cycle the 3 miles along Prestwick beach 10 times – watched by both of her parents – to make up the 30 miles and intends to try for 50 miles next year. She points out that "not many people realize that it costs Erskine £144.000 each week to keep our veterans safe and happy". Rickaide also says that she hopes to inspire children to fundraise for charity, suggesting they could "maybe give up their iPad or iPod or computer for a week to raise funds in the future".
Rickaide's mum Maralissa tells us how proud she is of her daughter, saying that "not many kids would think of doing anything like this". Maralissa also tells us "Rickaide has suffered many health problems in the past like Bells Palsy at the age of 5, respiratory syncytial virus many times and epilepsy when she was baby. She is such an amazing girl in my eyes and has a really big heart for her age".

Summit success on Dhaulagiri, Sherpa protest on Everest
The first summit success this spring on an eight-thousander is reported from Dhaulagiri, the seventh-highest mountain on earth. "We made the summit of Mt Dhaulagiri on Sunday", Mingma Gyalje Sherpa, head of the expedition operator Dreamers Destination, wrote on Facebook, "on the same day, one of the best soloist died, very sad to hear this news today. RIP Ueli (Steck)." According to Mingma, he reached the highest point on 8,167 meters along with two clients and two other Sherpas. For the 31-year-old Mingma Gyalje Sherpa, Dhaulagiri was the ninth eight-thousander he has summited so far.

Ang Tshering Sherpa: "Low cost operators spoil the industry"
The numbers fill Ang Tshering Sherpa with confidence. "We hope that mountaineering in Nepal will revive very soon," says the President of the Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) when we meet at the International Mountain Summit in Bressanone in South Tyrol. According to his words, expeditions to Nepalese mountains higher than 6,500 meters, which are managed by the government, have already achieved 87 percent compared with the time before the devastating earthquake in April 2015. Climbing on mountains lower than 6,500 meters, managed by the NMA, has even fully recovered. Trekking is between 40 and 50 percent again, depending on the region, the head of the NMA says: "We need to let the world know that the best way to help Nepal is by visiting. Each and every person who spends time in Nepal will help to revive the economy and rebuild the infrastructure."

Ten popular Everest errors
The Everest spring season is gaining momentum. The Base Camp on the Nepalese side of Mount Everest is filling. According to the government in Kathmandu, 279 climbers from 38 countries have registered for the highest mountain on earth. The Icefall Doctors have meanwhile prepared the route all the way up to Camp 2 at 6,400 meters. The teams who want to climb Everest from the Tibetan north side, have also received now their permits from the Chinese authorities and are heading to Tibet. It's going to kick off there too. Before the media Everest season begins, I would like to correct some reoccurring errors.

Mingma Sherpa: "In the end price matters"
The upcoming spring season on Everest casts its shadows before. Ten "Icefall doctors" were sent to the Base Camp on the Nepalese side of the highest mountain on earth to prepare the route for the commercial expeditions. In the past two years, there had been no summit successes from the south (I deliberately ignore the "success" of Chinese climber Wang Jing and her Sherpa-Team in 2014 who had been flown to Camp 2 by helicopter). In 2014, the spring season had prematurely ended after an ice avalanche in Khumbu Icefall had killed 16 Nepalese climbers. In 2015, the 25 April earthquake had triggered a huge avalanche from Pumori that had hit Everest Base Camp and killed 19 people.
On Monday, the Nepalese cabinet – at last! – gave green light for the extension of the 2015 climbing permits by two years. "It is a welcome move from the government that we hope will help bring back the climbers to the mountains", said Ang Tshering Sherpa, president of the Nepal Mountaineering Association. But it might be too late for many of the about 800 climbers who got a 2015 permit, including 357 Everest aspirants, to return already this spring.
I asked Mingma Gyalje Sherpa about the upcoming season. The 29-year-old, who has already climbed seven eight-thousanders and recently made headlines by solo climbing the difficult West Face of 6685-meter-high Chobutse for the first time, is head of the Kathmandu based expedition and trekking operator Dreamers Destination.
Mingma, the spring season is around the corner. What do you expect, especially on Mount Everest?

|Hawaii Governor Neil Abercrombie
photo by Stateside Associates
On July 2, 2012 I called Governor Neil Abercrombie's office to discover if he had signed HB 2078 into law. The highly controversial measure aims to regulate the vacation rental home industry and was signed by the legislature May 1. It was slated to become effective July 1, 2012 though the governor still has until July 10 to either sign or veto it. He has done neither, and his recent press release indicating which bills he intends to veto did not include HB 2078. His staff said that the bill is still under review, and that there is still time for the public to express their opinions.
Governor Neil Abercrombie Decides Fate of HB 2078 by July 10, 2012
The overwhelming testimony provided by stakeholders in this sector of the tourist industry, specifically the cottage industry of vacation rentals, was opposed, yet Hawaii's legislators still passed the bill. It will become effective July 1, 2012, expire December 31, 2015, and anyone who willfully disobeys it will face a stiff penalty, a fine up to $25,000. Thousands of properties are second homes or investments for folks who don't live on the islands, who have a significant financial stake
yet no vote.

The real danger inherent in the bill is that anyone viewing an internet ad divulging a property owner's registration number can then obtain his personal contact information from the public Tax Department License Checking page, also easily available through the internet. This poses a serious risk to the vacation rental business owner for identity theft, burglary and/or vandalism. Since the owner is off-island, properties can be cased and then robbed when vacant. Registration numbers may also be used fraudulently by other establishments that are not licensed. Forty-three percent of Hawaii's housing involve rentals, so the impact on property owners is significant.

Season's Greetings and Happy Holidays to all!!
As we joyously enter this holiday season, let's ensure we seize every opportunity to engage in the greatest gift of all: devoting ourselves to those less fortunate. This was something I managed to partake in during my busy second to last fall semester at Brock University this past November. I had volunteered for the Brock Trivia night event, which is an annual fundraiser put together by Brock in partnership with the amazing non-profit organization, United Way. With its Niagara chapter, the organization helps finance a multitude of separate local initiatives that promote meaningful social and economic development of disadvantaged groups in the Niagara community.
Held at Club Roma, a well-established banquet hall in Thorold, Ontario, the night entailed a tasty pasta dinner, yummy desserts, warm company, and, of course, trivia! Some of the diverse question categories included geography, Canadian politics, movies and science that really tested the knowledge of the attendees. Simultaneously, there was a silent auction for great items ranging from Brock apparel, to spa certifications, to wine gift baskets. It attracted a generous amount of enthusiastic individuals chipping in cash to participate. Additionally, attendees had the chance to join in the 50/50 ticket contest, purchasing tickets with the hope of getting lucky to win the proceeds from the contest.
The night turned out to be a tremendous success for both trivia lovers and the United Way Campaign. It raised a total of $4,528.86, positively contributing to United Way's targets in its 2015 campaign to better the livelihoods of Niagarans.
No matter how big or small, this is a reminder that we should make it a priority to donate our time to ensure everyone has a wonderful holiday season.

Yes, it's a day that you can feel 'love in the air'.
Here's why:
Ummm, okay? To those 53%, REALLY? What is true love to you? Is it really that important to receive a material item, that will probably wilt in a few weeks, to keep your relationship alive?
Don't get me wrong, I love getting gifts or flowers or chocolate! (Especially chocolate.) Everyone does. But sometimes I think Valentine's Day is waaaaaay too commercialized.
And to end a relationship based on the fact of not receiving a gift on a commercialized holiday? To me that is just ridiculous.
Sure I want my husband to acknowledge that it's Valentine's Day. Do I expect big, nice gifts? No.
Valentine's Day and Social Media
Take a look at your Facebook, Twitter or Instagram today. I bet your homepages will be filled with 50% or more of pictures of what your friends have received for Valentine's Day. Or maybe you will even be posting pictures of your gifts?
Let me ask you this. If Valentine's Day is a special day for couples to show their love to each other, WHY is it necessary to share your love with the whole world?
Think about when your husband writes an intimate, heart-felt message to you in a card he got you for Valentine's Day. You take a picture of what he wrote on the inside of the card and upload it to Facebook with the caption, "My husband is the best. I love him so much with all of my heart!".
Honestly, I would be hurt if I wrote a special message to my husband and he put it online. It was to him. From me. Two people. Nothing more. It's special. And when the picture does get uploaded with that caption about how much you love your husband, wouldn't you just tell him in person? Why do other people need to know that you love your husband?
It's seriously like a competition. Which is why all the big retail stores are loving this holiday. Because now days it's not about love. It's about who got the bigger, better present, and who's boyfriend spent more on their gift.
Money on Valentine's Day
Here's another statistic for you.
If we did have credit cards, I would never even imagine doing this. I do believe in sometimes splurging a bit on a nice, special gift that your partner will enjoy. But for Valentine's Day? I see spending a lot of money on a birthday, or anniversary.
I also read that 83% of couples say they feel pressured to spend over $100 on a gift on Valentine's Day.
That's where the commercial part comes in play again. It's a society thing. It has to be an extravagant, popular, costly gift.
Valentine's Day To Me
So these are just my personal opinions on this holiday. To me, Valentine's Day is kind of like St. Patricks Day. It's there, but we don't go all out. Sure the girls and I put up some decorations or have fun with it, but it's not a serious thing for us.
We do get the girls little Valentine's Gifts. Because for children I think Valentine's Day is a cute holiday to have fun with. Charlie has gone all out this year with making old school Valentines. The kind where you fold the paper in half and cut out the heart, then decorate. It's fun. :)
We do eat nicely on Valentine's Day. We all enjoy great food. Whether it's going out or just dining in at home, that's the main thing we do on this holiday. Other than that it's just another day.
I do think couples should show their love for each other every day of the year. Valentine's Day is a romantic holiday, but not the only day to express your love.
For example, it melts my heart more when Sam knows just exactly how I like my coffee and brings me a cup every Saturday morning, than if I would get roses on Valentine's Day. Or, if he knows I'm having a bad day and he brings me home a Dr. Pepper and a jumbo size Tootsie-Roll, rather than a box of chocolates. Because he knows those things are my favorite, and they make me happy. Or most of all? If he would come home and let me take a nice long bubble bath while he plays with the girls and cleans. Which would be free of value, yet would mean the most to me, because I would feel love and care from him. I feel like these are more personal, meaning options. And that's what I do like.
Sorry for the Valentine's Day scrooge bomb. Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

Within hours of friends and family lighting candles at the site of a slain Baton Rouge man, police made an arrest in the slaying of the 21-year-old.
Hardy Allen, 21, 3815 Eaton St., was arrested Wednesday night and booked on counts of first-degree murder, armed robbery and illegal use of a weapon, said Cpl. L'Jean McKneely, a police spokesman.
Earlier in the evening, nearly 100 people released balloons and placed candles on Madison Avenue just feet from where Calvin Chrisentary was shot, as family members recounted how an upstanding man who was always kind to those around him was shot to death near a telephone pole where Madison intersects North Foster Drive.
"He wasn't the one who would be out and about," said Chrisentary's good friend Eric Wallace, who recounted bowling and skating rink trips with him over the years. "He was a humble person."
Chrisentary was shot in the back shortly before 8:45 p.m. Monday, police have said. Chrisentary was still alive when a neighbor saw him lying in the street and called 911, and his condition was not considered serious when he was taken to a local hospital. He later died of his injuries.
Keon Preston, a teen chaplain with the nonprofit group Stop the Violence, said the family has since learned that Chrisentary was walking to a convenience store less than a block away when Allen approached him from behind and tried to rob him. A struggle ensued and Allen shot Chrisentary, then fled the scene, Preston said.
"It's senseless for him to be (killed) walking down the street," said Chrisentary's mother, Harmika Chrisentary-Payne. "He never hurt anybody. He was always a good kid."
She added, "It really hurts me. I just feel empty."
An acquaintance of Allen's, who declined to be identified out of safety concerns, said Allen recounted the events the day after the shooting. That acquaintance said he reported Allen to police.
For Preston, this shooting death hit especially close to home. Chrisentary was Preston's cousin, and Preston's family has already been hit hard by gun violence. Preston's brother, sister and uncle all have been shot before, but Chrisentary is the first in his family to be killed.
"This has torn me up," Preston said, adding that he already tries to head out to the scene of every homicide he can to offer support and to counsel neighbors to come together.
"After this, I'm really going to do all I can now," he said. "I'm going to be out here every day."
After balloons were released, Preston shared stern words with those gathered about the consequences of gun violence.
"How many people have lost their life due to stupid stuff like this?" he said, urging neighbors to report what they see to local police and equating inaction to letting the violence run unchecked.
"Your friends are dying. People are dropping. This ain't no joke."
Alean Johnson, whose 19-year-old son, Demarcus Thomas Sr., was killed in January 2013, briefly shared the story of her loss and how it pains her to see another young man killed.
"You have to be strong to get over this," she told the mourners. "You don't get over your child like the common cold."
She added that police have yet to solve her son's slaying.
"Thank God you got justice, because I'm still waiting," she said.
Wanda Mack, who was watching Preston speak from the edge of the crowd, said Chrisentary's loss was almost too much to bear after the death of her grandson and Preston's relative Enrico Green, who was gunned down at the age of 15 in 2013.
Mack said she was in near disbelief because she had seen Chrisentary just last week, when he was at her house cleaning her yard and taking care of her place.
With the loss of Chrisentary and Green, Mack said, "I've got two burdens to hold."
But Chrisentary-Payne, Chrisentary's mother, said she was at least heartened to see so many residents honoring the memory of her son, who leaves behind two young children.
"I didn't know he touched so many people," she said.

It's Beginning to Look a lot Like a Jew on Christmas
I beat John Safran to the Filipino punch. I just want everyone to know that. (And I didn't need a Spielberg-style budget or cast of thousands to get my kicks at the cost of someone else's religious practice.) Yes. That's right, John. I'm more hardcore than you, and I'm a Jewish girl.
I arrived in Manila bang smack in the middle of Christmas. In November. You heard correctly. Christmas, in the land colonialism sadly didn't forget, begins in the "ber" months, and ends in late January. (At which point, all of the kris-kringle-krud merch is replaced by Valentine's Day cards of dubious quality.) In the spirit of festivity, even evil corporations had rolled out a plethora of Santa inspired attempts to sell their wares.
a) Coca-cola: It's Christmas lunch, and dad (divorced) arrives to pick up his daughter. Mum, however, has the perfect idea to re-unite the family at this cheery time. She pours dad a glass of Coca-Cola, he announces "sarap!" (delicious) and sits down at the family table, gazing at mum meaningfully.
b) Nescafe: A lonely girl sits gazing at a snowy landscape. (In Manila? Where it's 35 degrees in the shade?) Soon she is joined by her friends, who smile and celebrate their reunion, flashing pearly whites that must have enjoyed American orthodontic work. But she notices another sad soul, alone on his balcony…not for long! In a moment she and her beautiful friends are beside him, sharing his cup of coffee and smiling even harder. Cue the lyrics: "A cup in hand makes me feel so right! Let's sit, let's talk…one moment, one nescafe…"
c) Chow-King: This is my favourite! A young boy forlornly decorates his Christmas tree, while singing a Filipino Christmas carol about his lost love. Dad touches down on an airplane, all the way from Saudi (very topical), but he knows not to come home empty handed… It is a bag of Chow-King delights (a crappy Chinese take-out chain) that will really make the night special!
I'd travelled to the Catholic heart of the South China Sea, to work with street children, and it somehow fell to me (a Moriah graduate, no less) to provide them with the festive spirit of family on Christmas Eve. Being a balabusta in training, I was, of course, at pains to offer the kind of merriment that could only be described as the mongrel child of Succot dinner at the Stern Household and A Very Brady Christmas.
Finally we get to midnight mass. At 10pm.Throughout the mass I coolly pretend to know exactly what's going on. I even attempt to sing along to the only carol I know, and find myself excelling in the accompanying hand actions. Toward the end, the adults line up for Holy Communion, and the kids take turns pushing me out toward the front. There's no use explaining that I'm more likely to be accused of desecrating the host than of eating it, or calmly asserting that if I ate the body of Jesus tonight my parents would need immediate cardiac surgery. So I step forward.
As I suck the wafer – and thank the lord I've recently watched a movie in which I've learnt that etiquette dictates sucking, rather than chewing the host – there passes a moment in which I think, "Why do I feel compelled to fit in with this dominant religion? Why can't I be comfortable to openly and honestly declare myself a proud member of Christ's original faith?" (Here I share with you something creepy: some Filipinos, on hearing of my religion, ask me to bless them. Eventually I learn to offer them some bread and invite them to say ha'motzi with me.) And here I share with you that I'm not sure of the answer. Maybe we all feel eager to keep our friends in the dominant religious culture comfortable that we Jews pose no threat. Maybe I just really like having a long weekend at Easter.
In any case, the test is not over. When the parishioners begin handing around a box for donations, I grow very red indeed. I've left my room with only my door key, ala a shabbos trip to shule, so I have nothing to put in the box. By the look on Sister Bernadette's face, I can see I've fallen from grace.

In the country where people like to say they're born with skis on their feet, winter is not something to be endured, but rather something to be enjoyed and embraced.
Outlined by rugged mountains and deep cut fjords, scattered forests with leaning pine trees and roaming reindeer, and miles of unending coastline, five million people call this country home. For the nature lover, Norway is an outdoor bliss. The landscape screams adventure and the opportunity to explore has no limits. Even when the weather conditions are less than favorable – blustering winds, downpours, thunderstorms, snow, ice, more wind, and even more rain – a Norwegian will lean over to the weary traveler with a smile stretched across their face and say, "In Norway, we have this saying: There's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes."
There's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes.
They may be on to something. Learning how to dress properly is something most Norwegians learn before they can tie their own shoes. From the Arctic region of the north to the relatively mild region of the south, it's no wonder learning how to layer clothing is just as important as learning how to count to 10. It's essential. But their secret to surviving the winter is more than remembering to wear your wool socks and long underwear.
Koselig, pronounced koosh-lee, is a cultural concept that loosely translates as cozy. However, while those hand-knit wool socks or the traditional blue, red, and white Marius sweater, Marius genser, may also be koselig, there's more to it.
Koselig is the word Norwegians would use to describe the intimate feeling you get while you're sitting in front of a crackling fire with friends, the conversation is steady, the coffee is hot, and your fingers are slowly tingling back to life after an afternoon spent skiing down the mountain, skitur. Koselig is gathering around a candle-lit table in a local pub on the weekend enjoying a cold beer, kald øl. It's sharing a thermos of hot cocoa, varmsjokolade, after a long hike, or gathering around the dinner table with your family for a home-cooked meal. Koselig means you're taking in the moment for what it is; you're not distracted by the smartphone in your pocket because you're enjoying the presence of those around you.
It's an inner peaceful feeling that can be associated with many things but, most importantly, the atmosphere you surround yourself. Norwegian communities are tightly knit, which only increases their social well-being, but their mindset regarding the winter is one that is unique to the polar north.
In northern Norway, when the sun doesn't peak above the horizon for almost two months of the year, Norwegians turn to life's more simple pleasures. Although some may consider this a way of coping with the immense darkness, Norwegians would consider it a way of embracing this special time of year. They make sure the woodpile is stocked and the wool blankets are plenty. Candles are lit throughout their home and coffee and waffles are always on hand.
The feeling of koselig is only intensified when you know someone made the effort to make you feel more comfortable and, well, koselig.

Once again we're here to bring you the latest of the latest, the juiciest of the juiciest, the nastiest of the nasty -- oh, and all of the completely underground rumors for PlayStation and PlayStation 2. Off The Record is our own completely unattributed, unconfirmed rumor section, complete with sources too "deep" in the thick of development to surface for actual name recognition. These stories may come true sooner than you think (and if they don't, ah heck, don't look at us.)
Majesco bloodies the PS2
It may not come as any big surprise to gamers who have been around for awhile, but for those new to the world of digital madness and fun, Majesco is bringing two games to the PlayStation 2, one of which is a very bloody, visceral, first-person shooter that has made headlines simply because of its realism. And to make the damn hint even easier, the game that's being ported to the PS2 originated on the PC. Can you guess what it is now?
Sony Shafts EB
In the high-level world of retailers and consoles manufacturers, it appears that one of North America's biggest retail chains, Electronics Boutique, was, in the vernacular, shafted by Sony on the PlayStation 2 launch. While no one from Sony would confirm any particulars about the launch politics, a strangely connected competitor of EB who has his feelers in the retail chain, told IGNPS2 that Sony decided to bring more PS2 units to retailers other than EB. Prior to the launch, we heard that EB had demanded all of the PS2 units it had pre-sold and had perhaps even requested them with a certain amount of arrogance. Few folks tell Sony what to do, and the winners of the 32-bit generation then proceeded to deliver three to four times as many units to major retailers such as Best Buy, The Good Guys, Target, and the like, skimping on EB in a big way. After launch day, the numbers proved that EB had the smallest allotment of the bunch. Several stores are simply still waiting for their pre-order units, a humiliating position for EB.
Just for the record, the big generic retailers that scored on the PS2 launch also scored in almost exactly the same way on the PlayStation's launch. So, perhaps it wasn't EB's big demands, it's just Sony's ways. In either case, it appears that Sony is delivering its 100,000 units per week to stores across the nation each week, as our local stores got their meager units in today.
Oh, and one last thing -- if you live in the San Francisco or Northern California area, you may want to stop by Sony's Metreon store, which appears to have plenty of PlayStation 2s. Go there this weekend and make sure to be early!
THQ Acquires a Certain Extreme Football License
For those who love both football and wrestling, you're in luck. THQ looks like it has acquired the license for the XFL, the Extreme Football League, a weird new, untried blend of football heroics and wrestling drama and showmanship. Can you stand the cheesy smell? It hurts, it hurts!
Who knows what this will really look like or play like on TV or on your game console. All we know is that it's coming to at least one new next generation console, and that's PS2, so.... run or cover your eyes, but you can't hide, for long.

Creative, Wedding Photographer
Reportage Style Wedding Photography
I'm a journalistic styled Gloucestershire Wedding photographer who works with a creative, natural and relaxed style. I've always had a strong creative background throughout my childhood I've always been involved and passionate about art, as this passion developed into a love of capturing emotions and light, I naturally turned to photography. This love of photography has stayed with me ever since and taken on many guises through different forms of experimentation and settled into the style of photography you see today.
As my style is constantly evolving as I continually to experiment and develop the way I use my camera, one element alway remains a constant. The honest and unobtrusive way I look to capture the emotions and details I see around me. This element of photography I feel gives photographs a real intrinsic emotional quality and character. I'm a great lover of film photography, as I feel this medium will always be the greatest way to take photograph. Even though the film photography movement is a lot more subdued than it used to be due to the constant progress of digital photography, it still plays it's part in capturing special moments.
If you are a fun, relaxed couple who want your wedding photographs to capture the true nature of your special day, drop me an email and let's have a chat.
My Featured Weddings | My Pricing | My Location | Contact Me
I have never hired a photographer before and thought I may find it a challenge trying to get Mark to understand what I wanted to get out of my wedding day with my wife.

I would highly recommend him to anyone not only for a wedding but for any event.David

ST. FRANCISVILLE — The West Feliciana Parish school system ended the fiscal year June 30 with a general fund operating deficit of $476,021, the School Board's finance director said Tuesday.
Helen "Ruthie" Davis told the board that the system's auditors will show a much smaller deficit when they examine the books, however, because the district had another $378,315 left over from a dedicated half-cent sales tax that it is putting into a "rainy day" fund.
The board does not plan to spend the money except in emergencies, but it will show in the audit as lowering the deficit, Davis said.
The special half-cent sales tax, approved last year, brought in $748,207 during 11 months to improve classroom technology, add foreign language teachers and start building a rainy day fund.
The board had hoped to put $500,000 into the emergency fund, but the revenues fell short, Davis said.
The general fund budget for last year had $25.26 million in revenues and $25.74 million in expenses, with the rainy day fund not included, Davis said. The fund balance in the account is $3.3 million, Davis reported.
Davis also reported that $305,593 remains of special donations to restore and preserve the old Julius Freyhan High School, which is next door to the School Board office. A construction fund supported by a property tax levied by the Police Jury, School Board and town of St. Francisville has $30,797 left for projects to benefit recreation.
Other topics included:
LUNCH PRICES: The board agreed to raise school food prices by five cents next school year. Elementary students who pay the full price for meals will be charged $1.30 for breakfast and $1.55 for lunch. The middle and high school prices are $1.55 for breakfast and $1.80 for lunch.
EXTRA MONEY: The board accepted Assistant District Attorney Mike Hughes' recommendation to accept new appraisals for property expropriated for widening U.S. 61 in front of the middle and high schools. The district will get $502,220 more than the state offered when it took the property, Hughes said.

Most people only know about Kobe thanks to the famous beef, but this city of 1.5 million people is one of the most beautiful and most international in Japan. The fifth largest city in Japan is home to an estimated 44,000 foreigners from more than 120 different countries, and with a position sandwiched between the mountains and the sea, it's incredibly beautiful.
In 1995, Kobe was devastated by an earthquake that leveled entire blocks and took the lives of more than 6,000 people. Today, it's hard to imagine you're even in the same city. It's a compact city that's easily navigable on foot, and while you won't find as many big ticket attractions as in Tokyo or Kyoto, you will find a very livable city with one of Japan's best food scenes and a thriving nightlife. At the end of the day, most people still come here for the beef, and for good reason.

This week, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ruled this week that Chipotle Mexican Grill had an "unlawful" social media policy that violated the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA).
According to published reports which detail the facts of this particular case, the dispute stems from charges filed on the worker's behalf by the Pennsylvania Workers Organizing Committee regarding Chipotle's social media policy and allegations that the employee was wrongfully terminated. Apparently, Chipotle sought to enforce an "oudated" social media policy that was not lawful under the NLRA. This policy had already been replaced, but supervisors sought to enforce the older policy against an employee who made postings on Twitter criticizing his employer about adverse working conditions.
Since the outdated policy is what prompted Chipotle to act, the NLRB found that Chipotle was liable for violations that occurred resulting from enforcing that improper policy.
According to the NLRB's website, the NLRA protects the rights of employees to act together to address conditions at work, and includes certain work-related conversations conducted on social media, such as Facebook and Twitter. This protection extends to employees engaged in "protected concerted activity,"such as discussing terms and conditions of employment with fellow employees.
If accepted by the full board, the ruling orders Chipotle to stop prohibiting employees from placing posts on social media about their wages and terms of employment and order that the employee be re-hired with back pay.
So what can you and your business take away from this?
The first lesson is rather obvious: keep key employees informed of what changes are made to company policies, especially those charged with enforcing those policies. Chipotle suffered from a breakdown in communication between policy-makers and supervisors, which was then passed down the chain to the aggrieved employee. Communication is key.
Second, social media can be a tremendous tool to grow your business, your brand and your visibility because it has changed the way people communicate. But like any tool, it can be abused or misused. Your business should develop a social media policy that meets the NLRA's standards, balances the rights of your employees and protects your company, its intellectual property and its brand goodwill.
Take a look at what other companies have successfully developed as a basis to understand what works. Then, consult an attorney to create a tailor-made policy that will integrate into your company's policies._____

Article Title
Section Name
There have been many attempts to identify "communication competence" by communication scholars. Many attempts in determining definitions have focused on action definitions (speaker-defined competence) and reaction definitions (listener defined competence). In agreeing that communication is transactional, communication competence should be held to the same standard. Communication competence must be viewed as a joint effort by all participants in a situation; not as solely dependent on the communicator or the listener).
Public speaking evaluation forms attempt to measure communication competence of the speaker only. A recent attempt is The Competent Speaker Speech Evaluation Form (1992). This form identifies 8 competencies for the public speaker. These competencies offer the same problems to users that other forms have. These include: (1) the discrimination of the different levels of competence, (2) the subjective judgments from the teacher's point of view to the audience as a whole, and (3) the cultural narrowness of the descriptions of the competencies.

A.M. Bush gives up power!
Caesar's Army A.M. BUSH was once again a hit. The superhero edition themed event, held last Saturday (April 11), saw hundreds of patrons flocking to the Caymanas Polo Club for an early-morning carnival euphoric frenzy in the fields.
Caesar's Army superheroes took over the streets for the second time around for the inaugural event that is the first of its kind to be brought to Jamaica's shores from Trinidad.
Like last year, the superhero clan, all decked out in masks, capes and other superhero paraphernalia, was shuttled from the meeting point to the same location in the fields where several trucks awaited the revellers. As the infectious beats blared across the field, the soca fanatics danced uncontrollably before partaking in the alcoholic libations catered by Smirnoff and Heineken.
After the 2 a.m start time, the desolate farm field local came alive as paint made its debut into the revelry. As 5 a.m rolled around, it was time to take to the streets for the road parade to the breakfast location. The sun lit up the venue, but patrons continued partying until the powder, and then finally water was added to the mix. The mishmash of colours created a beautiful human portrait in the early-morning sunrise. Many thought that the party had reached its pinnacle, but then in walked Machel Montano, who started a high-energy performance that caused massive bouts of 'pandemonium' inside the venue.
The rising sun, music, moving trucks, paint, powder, drinks, breakfast and sheer revelry were all elements of this unique experience that created quite a spectacle for the J'Ouvert party patrons. Patrons were treated to healthy breakfast options, courtesy of CPJ.
A.M.BUSH is an extremely popular and highly anticipated event during Trinidad and Tobago Carnival, and was introduced to Jamaica as an alternative J'Ouvert concept.
Caesar's Army was formed in 2006 by Jules Sobion as a collaborative force with The Julius Caesar Entertainment Company entity. The army began as a means of providing exploration, adventure and intimacy to events and in the Caribbean. Caesar's Army is well known in Trinidad &Tobago for hosting premier events. Included in its line-up are MAI TAI, the Hawaiian-themed megaparty; the one-of-a-kind Caesar's Army Panorama lime during T&T Carnival.

Chairman Ken Linden is confident Horden can mount a sustained challenge for the championship - despite losing to Roseberry Group North East Durham League side Chopwell in the A M Brown Cup on Wednesday night.
"Make no mistake, we have a very good all-round side but full credit to Chopwell who were worthy winners," said Linden.
"We couldn't really believe what we were seeing, but in the end we were absolutely hammered and Chopwell had nine wickets and as many balls to spare."
It was certainly the first upset of the season. Horden looked home and dry when they posted 162 for the loss of four wickets in 20 overs, but Chopwell won, losing just one wicket.
Linden believes it will be totally different tomorrow when Horden go in search of their third successive League victory.
"So far, we have played South Hetton and champions Burnmoor and beaten them both with comparative ease.
"We sat down and talked after the defeat at Chopwell and everybody agreed it was just one of those things which would be a temporary hiccup," claimed Linden.
Burnmoor, in the unaccustomed position of second from bottom, aim to win their first game when they host basement side Seaham Harbour.
Burnmoor have Gary Brown returning and 16-year-old Scott Robinson is given his chance since Michael Callaghan and Neil Young are both unavailable.
The Harbour, too, make a couple of changes with Philip Todd and Adam Graham taking over from David Thompson and Gary Cunliffe.
Eppleton are another side yet to taste success, and at table-topping Boldon are minus captain Lee Welch and the side will be led by Martin Ferguson.
Boldon, who share pole position with Horden, have Chris Siddell coming in for Jonathan Bishop.
TOMORROW'S FIXTURES: Boldon v Eppleton, Burnmoor v Seaham Harbour, Durham City v Hetton Lyons, Felling v South Shields, Marsden v Horden, South Hetton v Whitburn.

A wonderful opportunity to make a positive impact on underprivileged communities while gaining voluntary experience of other cultures during your gap year. Poverty and unemployment affect many communities in Sri Lanka, slowing the pace of development across the board. Through this project you will play an active role in improving the facilities for these underprivileged people. Giving you the chance to work with various age groups in a range of locations, there are options to work with babies, the elderly where you could be teaching and taking care of children, or taking part in construction and renovation projects.
Babies Child Care – The Child and Labour Department of Sri Lanka founded the Child Care Centre to provide a better standard of living for children who could not be given ample care, shelter or food at home. While the work carried out has a positive impact, the centre runs on low resources with a small number of staff. Participants on the project help out by increasing manpower and allowing the daily running of the centre to have minimal interruptions. You will be expected to assist in the care of approximately 15-20 babies who are under 12 months old. This will involve cleaning beds, changing nappies, bed sheets, pillows and keeping the areas clean and sterile. You will also be required to prepare baby food and give the feeds to the babies. It is important to note that the local centres have a methodology for looking after the children that may not compare exactly with Western standards. Participants must follow this methodology, adhering to rules and procedures at all times without making comparisons.
Elders' Home – Having been established for over 15 years, The Elders' Home provides an improved standard of living for elderly people providing food, shelter and medical facilities at no cost. Currently housing 75 adults, male and female, between the ages of 50 and 80 years, the home operates smoothly with the help of private organisations and voluntary participants. Without this extra help, they would have a skeleton staff as well as minimal resources. Centred around the motto "Give Love and Care", the focus of your daily tasks will include listening to the elderly, holding conversations with them, helping them to bathe, playing games with them or reading to them. Additionally, you will be required to assist the sisters with cleaning the home, preparing food and administering medications. It is important to note that the methods of working at the home are very strict, you must adhere to the rules and procedures at all times and not compare the standards with those of Western Culture.
Child Care – Run by Catholic organizations, the child care centres are well established, with St Joseph's Orphanage being more than 40 years old and the Bathshalom Boys Home being 10 years old. In this placement you will be enriching the lives of the children by teaching them new skills, playing games with them and assisting the staff with the general caretaking of the children. Without the support of private organisations and volunteers, these centres would operate with just a handful of staff and a low level of resources. With increased manpower, disruptions to the daily operations of the centre can be minimised. Again it is imperative that participants adhere to the rules and procedures already in place at the centres. You must be accepting of the conditions and not compare them to the standards of Western culture.
Building and Renovation – Volunteer your time and labour to improve the conditions of Buddhist temples in and around Kandy. Your work here will have a huge impact, whether you carry out painting, cleaning, helping with construction work or your role involves interacting with the children and villagers. You could also be required to help arrange community centres for the youth of the village to enrich their experiences.
Monday to Friday
Schedules vary at each of the project sites and the activities you carry out will be responsive to the immediate needs of the centres. However, your days could include the following tasks:
Babies Child Care Centre:
Elders Home:
Child Care Centre:
Building and Renovation

The intravenous route is not FDA approved and is generally not recommended except when no other alternatives are available. Intravenous administration appears to be associated with a higher risk of QT prolongation and torsade de pointes (TdP) than other forms of administration. The manufacturer recommends ECG monitoring for QT prolongation and arrhythmias if IV administration is required. A dose in the range of 1 to 5 mg IV has been suggested, with the dose being repeated at 30 to 60 minute intervals, if needed. A maximum IV dose has not been established. The lowest effective dose should be used in conjunction with conversion to oral therapy as soon as possible.
In pharmacokinetic studies, mild to moderately increased haloperidol concentrations have been reported when haloperidol was given concomitantly with drugs characterized as substrates or inhibitors of CYP3A4 or CYP2D6 isoenzymes, such as itraconazole, nefazodone, buspirone, venlafaxine, alprazolam, fluvoxamine, quinidine, fluoxetine, sertraline, chlorpromazine, and promethazine.
When prolonged treatment (1 to 2 weeks) with enzyme-inducing drugs such as rifampin or carbamazepine is added to haloperidol therapy, this results in a significant reduction of haloperidol plasma levels.
In a study of 12 schizophrenic patients coadministered oral haloperidol and rifampin, plasma haloperidol levels were decreased by a mean of 70% and mean scores on the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale were increased from baseline. In 5 other schizophrenic patients treated with oral haloperidol and rifampin, discontinuation of rifampin produced a mean -fold increase in haloperidol concentrations.
In a study in 11 schizophrenic patients co-administered haloperidol and increasing doses of carbamazepine, haloperidol plasma concentrations decreased linearly with increasing carbamazepine concentrations.
Thus, careful monitoring of clinical status is warranted when enzyme inducing drugs such as rifampin or carbamazepine are administered or discontinued in haloperidol-treated patients. During combination treatment, the haloperidol dose should be adjusted, when necessary. After discontinuation of such drugs, it may be necessary to reduce the dosage of haloperidol.
Sodium valproate, a drug known to inhibit glucuronidation, does not affect haloperidol plasma concentrations.

|Gump Descriptors
|Sun, 19 Dec 2004 11:20:56 GMT
Hi, I have not been very well over the last week or so, and not been able to attend to the Gump aspect of Directory very well, so some of the other Gump folks thought it was a better idea to move the descriptors over to the normal Gump location, and did it. So I have removed them from the Directory repo. If you are still interested in helping out, you should all know; * ALL Apache committers have access to the Gump descriptors, and are encouraged to jump in and help out (even if it initially may cause damage). * Gump descriptors sits in CVS and not in SVN. cvs -q -d :ext:<yourname>@cvs.apache.org:/home/cvs co gump You find the descriptors in the directory gump/project/ and the directory descriptors are prefixed with "directory-" in the name (surprise!)

For the entire first quarter of 2017, bonds held inside a range from roughly 2.30 to 2.60 in terms of 10yr yields. This was the purgatory we occupied after the US presidential election as we waited to see if things would get worse before they got better.
Fortunately, a combination of political drama and friendly central bankers resulted in a nice break below 2.30. After that, the range shifted to 2.12-2.42. On the 2 occasions where yields bounced on 2.42 as a ceiling, there's been some hesitation in moving back below 2.30. Now between yesterday and today's early trading, we're seeing a 3rd example of that same sort of bounce.
As the chart shows, the past 2 examples of these "pauses" at the 2.30 (or 2.305% for hair-splitters) were resolved fairly quickly and positively. If the same thing does NOT happen this time around, it would imply a reinvigoration of this old resistance level. In the short term, the biggest source of inspiration for a bounce or break will come from tomorrow morning's CPI data--assuming it's at least somewhat different from expectations.
That's not to say domestic economic data is the only market mover in town. Indeed, Yellen moved markets in a friendly direction yesterday, and the ECB moved bonds back in an unfriendly direction overnight with unnamed sources suggesting a likely tapering announcement at the September 7th meeting. That news alone was enough to bring 10yr yields up from 2.305% overnight to trade early domestic hours in the 2.33-2.34% range.

Property description
The Little Clogs Loft is an amazing space and worth all the stairs to reach it. Located right in the centre of town and up 5 floors you get a real sense of your surroundings. From the roof terrace you have 360 degree views of the city with it's quirky roofs and wonky buildings and some extra special sunsets. The main open plan living space is large with big comfy sofas and long dinning table with space to spread. The kitchen is fully furnished with an oven, stove top, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. Perfect for any occasion even if it is only sunset snacks and a refreshing drink.
The master bedroom has it's own bathroom with rain shower and skylight. The room is also quite large with wardrobe space and floor space. The bed is a lovely 200×200 King size bed. And being at the back of the apartment it's nice and quiet. You also have a washing machine and dryer.
In the hall is the second bathroom. Complete with bath/shower, basin and toilet. Up the stairs you find the loft and second bedroom and access to the roof terrace. Some great views from up there but please be aware to stay in the fenced area. The loft bedroom can also be set up as 2 single beds if needed. The bed size is 140×200 so a small double. good there is two.
It is a no smoking apartment but you can smoke on the roof terrace. Smoking in the house, if I can tell, may result in a fee from the security deposit. It is also a residential area so private parties are not allowed. Of course we want you to enjoy the space with those with you but we just ask you to be considerate. This property is for the fit as the stairs can be a final challenge at the end of a days walking around. But the views and the apartment make it all worth while. If your looking for something different and special to spend your time in the Dam then this is a great option. The location couldn't be better. Basically 30 minutes walk maximum to all the top places to be.

Mag red faced over Nicolas Sarkozys third leg due to photoshop gaffeSeptember 26th, 2008 - 1:48 pm ICT by ANI
London, September 26 (ANI): Journalists associated with a French magazine have been enraged by a picture featuring President Nicolas Sarkozy sporting a third leg as he stands next to his wife Carla and Pope Benedict XVI, after a meeting at the Elysee palace on September 12.
It was due to a hastily touched up photoshop edit that the head of Sarkozy''s bodyguard had been airbrushed out of the frame, but his leg forgotten.
Unionists at Paris Match magazine have criticised the bungled edit.
"The alteration of photos deforms reality and should be strictly forbidden," the Telegraph quoted the SDJ union as saying.
"New technologies that enable the manipulation of images make the line separating fact from fiction even more tenuous," it added.
The journals management blamed photographer, Pascal Rostain, who is often chosen by the Elysee to cover the presidential couple, for the blunder.
"If we had known, we would not have published it," said Guillaume Clavieres, chief photo editor at the weekly magazine.
Rostain has apologised for his "enormous error".
He said that it was his "personal decision" to apologise.
"I should have warned Match, but not just them, as I sent the reportage to 22 countries," he said.
He also slammed the "hypocrisy" surrounding reworked photos, saying: "Since the dawn of the digital age, photos are obviously touched up. We make our photos more aesthetic." (ANI)

So after the hustle and bustle of new gear, releases and some seriously cool tech being shown to the world, we have explored the enormous halls of Winter NAMM 2017, the greatest music instrument show on the planet, to bring you the best new instruments the world has to offer.
In this post, you'll find the products that we have selected based on innovation, quality, social media hype and just down right awesomeness! So here are our top picks and best gear of Winter NAMM 2017.
Electric Guitar
Ibanez Steve Vai Signature JEM777 30th Anniversary, Loch Ness Green
The legend is back! The Ibanez JEM777 is the first JEM series of Steve Vai's signature model. The 1987 Chicago NAMM Show marked the introduction of the Steve Vai-designed JEM guitars and constituted a major turning point in the fortunes of Ibanez and the development of the electric guitar.
Acoustic Guitar
Taylor A10e
This Dreadnought distills the essential features of a great acoustic guitar into a budget-friendly form. Our Academy Series was designed with developing players in mind, so the goal was to create as comfortable a playing experience as possible.
PRS J-MOD 100 John Mayer Signature Amp
Although the amp doesn't include a reverb, there is an effects loop allowing users to add their own studio reverb of choice. Speaking of the tone stack, Mayer said it provides a "beautiful, spread out tone" providing a crystal clear sound from the offset. The amps gain stage provides rich harmonics and also packs a powerful punch if you're really going for it.
Voodoo Labs Dingbat Pedalboard
Not only have they released a brilliant line of boards in various sizes, they've also released them as sets. You can buy your board fitted with a variety of Voodoo Labs power supplies that the boards themselves are specifically designed to work in conjunction with.
Pioneer Toraiz AS-1 Monophonic Analogue Synthesizer
If you're a true synth nut, you will be aware of Dave Smith and his legendary synthesizers. The AS-1 uses his true analog synthesis engine, taken straight from the Prophet-6 synth to give you a truly classic analog sound.
Samplers/Drum Machines
Teenage Engineering PO-32
Featuring a wide range of sonic capabilities, a fresh selection of new punch-in fx, a built-in microphone and also the ability to allow users of the standard desktop version of microtonic to shape sounds, generate new patches and pattern data, and transfer this wirelessly to the PO-32 tonic.
Colour Sound 900 – New Dimensions for Visual Expression
Extensive research and design efforts have resulted in the most stunningly beautiful finishes: luminous translucent colours preserve the natural appearance of grooves and hammer marks and present a vibrantly radiant appearance. Notably, decades of experience have proven the Color Sound finish to be exceedingly tough and durable – the finish will not ever crack, chip or peel.

Prepare In Advance Before you check the status of your claims, make sure your EOBs posting are up to date. Then make sure to have all the
pertinent information in front of you, including your
account number and password, if you have one. This will speed up the
verification process and allow you to focus on the conversation. Also,
have your call log and a pen handy to take down important information. Try to have an idea of where the claim process went wrong and why it was mispaid: If
you're calling for multiple reasons, make a list of your
objectives to ensure you don't forget
anything. In fact, it's
always a good idea to formulate your queries in advance so you can
express yourself clearly and without hesitation when you deal with health insurance customer service representatives who may ask for such things as:
State the Purpose of Your Call As soon as
you're greeted by a human voice, briefly explain what service
you're looking for them to perform for you today. Don't go into details just yet. Call-center employees usually
handle various types of requests, each with their own sets of
so the objective here is to let the representative know which thinking
cap to put on. If you're calling for more than one reason,
indicate how many queries you have and start with the most important.
Only move on to the next issue once the previous matter is completely
Repeat the Representative's Name Representatives usually start the
conversation by providing their name and their department. If they
forget, don't be shy about asking for this information, and
write it down in case you need to make a complaint or do a follow-up.
Note that, by law, call center employees are never required to give out
their family name. Once you have the representative's first
name, the best way to deal with health insurance customer service is to casually insert
it into the conversation. This seemingly friendly gesture is a threat in disguise. It
indicates that you're paying attention and that
you'll remember whom to thank or blame as the case may
Don't Challenge the Representative No matter how frustrated you may feel, refrain from making disparaging
or condescending remarks. No representative will help you find
alternate solutions if you come off as unpleasant. By the same token,
don't rush the conversation by anticipating questions and
answering them before they're asked. It's
needlessly confusing to the representatives, who likely function better
within their routine. Remember: Your goal is to get a specific service,
not prove your intellectual superiority to a
complete stranger. Instead, follow these simple guidelines regarding outstanding claim payments:

WEST PALM BEACH — Glenlivet defeat Boehm 10-9 despite five goals from Howard Hipwood Sunday in the consolation game of the $100,000 Piaget World Cup at the Palm Beach Polo and Country Club at Wellington.
Hipwood, trying for his fifth consecutive World Cup championship, wasn`t overly disappointed with fourth place.
``We`ve had a good run at a fifth title,`` said Hipwood, last year`s tournament MVP, ``but you have to accept the losses with the victories. I knew it had to come to an end eventually.``
Hipwood was a member of the Boehm teams that won the World Cup in 1981, `82 and `84. He also played for the championship Anadaryia team in 1983.
Sunday`s consolation game, originally scheduled for Saturday, forced the World Cup final between Rolex A&K and White Birch to be moved up seven days to next Sunday.
``We had over 3 inches of rain here Saturday, but we decided that if the field was playable Sunday, we would do everything possible to compete,`` said Glenlivet`s Allan Scherer, vice president of the Polo and Equestrian Activities at Wellington. ``We opted to play (Sunday), while the finalists decided to wait until next week. It was a deicsion the four teams involved made this morning.``

The Tale of Genji:
Women in the World of the Shining Prince
Asian Art and History: Behind the Silks
Artis—Naples Lifelong Learning
Marjorie Williams, Senior Director for Endowment Development, The Cleveland Museum of Art
In the early years of the 11th century, Murasaki Shikibu, a lady-in-waiting at the Heian court, wrote The Tale of Genji, the world's longest and first psychological novel. It chronicles the life and loves of Prince Genji, the Shinning Prince, and the aesthetics of court and culture. During the following centuries, the literary classic was profoundly influential in the performing and visual arts, including Noh theatre, paintings, textile designs and woodblock prints. This lecture introduces the accomplished women in the world of Genji who defined an elegant, sophisticated standard of beauty that endured for over a thousand years in art and culture.
This lecture will be followed by lunch and a discussion with the lecturer that is included in the ticket price. This presentation is part of the Asian Art and History lecture series.

Take a look at this collection of fashion related video - some from SPECS network and some from YouTube.
Welcome to our fashion area! SPECS network opticians believe that choosing your specs is about quality and looks as well as making sure the prescription is right. Our opticians are all independent, so they can stock the frames that they think are best, not just the brands and designs that you find everywhere on the high street.
Take a look at this collection of fashion related video - some from SPECS network and some from YouTube.
Check out news and views on eye wear fashion from our bloggers and industry sources.
Our exciting new magazine bursting with the latest fashion, brands, and advice on looking great
Go for rectangular frames, as they make your face appear wider. A semi-rimless pair will work best. Avoid round frames, as they will diminish your features.
Try a vintage style in a medium-size: too big and it will shrink your face, too small and it will enlarge it, drawing attention away from your features.
Choose frames that give your face structure and definition. Avoid thick frames and circular shapes, as these will make your face look large and undefined. Opt for angular or rectangular styles with a narrow frame.
For this strongly defined facial shape, choose either oval or round frames. Thicker frames will work well as they help to give shape to the cheekbones.
Rectangular frames will complement a triangular face shape. Alternatively, butterfly frames with a soft gradient will create a feminine shape.
Heart-shaped faces already have a lot of natural definition, so your frames should bring out your jaw line and cheekbones. Achieve this with oval or square-shaped frames, thick, geometric frames, or cat eyes.
