JAIPUR, India — Crossover Bollywood star Sunny Leone will be seen as this season's MTV "Splitsvilla" host alongside Nikhil Chinappa set to air June 14.
The reality show revolves around young men and women trying to secure a place in Splitsvilla, where they compete to find love. The "hunt for love" show sees the contestants compete in tasks to stay in the competition and mingle with others to find love.
Leone said she has taken a month break from filming her next release, "Tina and Lolo" to shoot the reality show in Jaipur, India.
Splitsvilla is known for being a youth-branded show with mass sex appeal. MTV and Leone together hope to bring the show to an all-time ratings high.
Sherlyn Chopra — the first woman in India to pose completely nude for Playboy magazine, hosted the last season of Splitsvilla.
"It's a fun show focusing on the youth and one of the biggest and most watched shows. I'm excited to be a part of it and I hope people will love me in my new avatar as well," Leone said.
The new addition to her career bolsters Leone's mainstream reputation. The Economic Times recently lauded her as a new breed of digital guru who uses social media — and the power of her adult reputation — to help vault her global success.

DEPUTY Prime Minister Mothetjoa Metsing will next month lead a delegation of government officials and business executives to the United Kingdom to solicit for investment into Lesotho.
According to Trade and Industry Minister Joshua Setipa, the tour would be held from 4-6 April 2016 and dubbed Lesotho Investment Forum 2016.
He said the ministry was organising the trip in collaboration with the Lesotho National Development Corporation (LNDC) as the country's investment promoting agency. Among the sectors for which investment would be sought were mining, tourism, agriculture and infrastructure.
Lesotho is in dire need of foreign direct investment (FDI) to stimulate economic growth and create jobs. Mr Setipa said it was important to engage and encourage UK investors and businesses to consider investing in the country.
"Next week we will be flying to the United Kingdom with the aim of promoting investment in different sectors of our economy," he told the Lesotho Times this week.
"The delegation will be made up of the Deputy Prime Minister Mothetjoa Metsing, representatives from the LNDC, senior government officials from ministries such as Trade and Industry, Mining and Tourism. However, the itinerary for the trip is yet to be finalised."
The minister said the delegation would also include representatives from the private sector, who would be expected to take advantage of the networking opportunities the visit presents and also to improve their business skills.
The trip would be a follow up to a similar tour to London in 2014 led by then premier Thomas Thabane.
In his remarks during the tour, D Thabane said: "My sincere wish is that this forum will rekindle interest for Lesotho as a destination for investment plans. We are indeed open for business."
He said Lesotho offered investors a young labour force, flexible tax incentives, competitive wage rates and a gateway to lucrative markets in the southern African region.
Lesotho already has FDI originating from the UK in the mining sector with Gem Diamond which is the majority shareholder of Letšeng Diamond Mine.
Firestone Diamonds is another UK company that is operating in Lesotho. The company operates and owns a 75 percent shareholding at Liqhobong Diamond Mine.

Mind you, a new survey will depict thereon what exists on the premises as of the date of its creation, thereby bearing no relationship to the legality, or illegality, of improvements or changes made to the premises prior thereto. Remember, it is a drawing, a depiction, of the premises as of a particular date.
So the Lender has good news for the prospective Purchaser, which is "we do not require a survey in order to close". Good news? Not quite.

Ohhhhh what a glorious long weekend it was! The extra day off on Friday was so needed and I feel like my batteries and mind are completely recharged and refreshed. Let's jump into the weekend!
Woke up early for a total body workout, before heading to the beach for a girl's day with Mom at Jenness Beach in Rye, NH.
We had such a blast and it was so nice to get away with Mom for the day. Block Island Organics in Block Island, RI sent me a tube of their sunscreen to stay safe during my summer beach trips. Love this sunscreen! It was light, easy to apply and smelled so good!
We spent a solid 5 hours at the beach, and once we made it back home, I headed out to run a few errands before girl's night with Nichole. We saw and highly recommend seeing Magic Mike XXL. We d-i-e-d! Joe Manganiello, please marry me and not Sofia.
My Saturday started out like my usual long run ritual. Peanut butter oatmeal on the couch while watching tv and waking up.
I had no motivation to run outside since I figured hills wouldn't be kind to my knee, so I headed to the gym to attempt the run. At 4 miles I was beyond dead. The humidity in the gym made me want to crumple over and dry heave.I should have hit at least 7 miles, but I refused to at the expense of my pride at the gym. I finished my workout with a mini shoulder workout and then headed back home so I could get ready for the 4th of July with my girls.
We spent the entire day talking and laughing about everything. It was a much-needed day. Love Lindsay & Nichole!
After girl's day I had some time to kill so I popped into Home Goods and hit a home run with new decor for my apartment. THIS FRIDAY I MOVE! YES!!! 🙂
Ended the 4th with a big tub of fresh watermelon.
Up at the bright and early hour of 7 am. Early morning workouts on Sunday are my favorite thing ever! Usually the gym is always so quiet around 8 when I get there, so it's really nice to have almost the entire place to myself.
I did a 5 minute warm-up walk, 5 minute warm-up run, 15 minutes of HIIT, and a 5 minute cool down run. After that, I completed a rigorous leg workout, and ended it with 15 minutes of HIIT on the elliptical and solid stretching. I felt absolutely amazing!
On my way home from the gym on Sundays I always stop at the grocery store to pick up essentials for the week. I grabbed a big case of chicken, veggies and rice, and headed home to immediately start prepping the chicken. I enjoyed a strawberry protein shake while grilling a good amount of chicken on the George Foreman grill. Grilled chicken > baked chicken. I always cook them in bite sized pieces so that I don't need to cut chicken at work and because it cooks quicker. 🙂
I ate some more. Cleaned. Blogged. Ran more errands. Enjoyed a Sunday Funday out on Murphy's Deck with good company. 🙂
Did you watch the fireworks?
I heard them but didn't see any! I was cuddled up in bed with a good book while all of the fireworks in my neighborhood were going off.
What was the top moments from your weekend?
Beach day with Mom, girl time & everything about Sunday

Christ comforts his disciples with the hope of heaven, 1-4; professes himself the way, the truth, and the life, and one with the Father, 5-12; assures their prayers to be effectual, 13, 14; requires obedience, 15; promises the Comforter, 16-26; and leaves his peace with them, 27-31.
1 "Do not let your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house there are many places to reside. If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and receive you to myself, so that where I am, you may be there also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know." 5 Thomas says to him, "Lord, we do not know where you go, and how can we know the way?" 6 Jesus says to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father, but by me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. And from now on you know him and have seen him."
8 Philip says to him, "Lord, show us the Father and it will be sufficient for us." 9 Jesus says to him, "Have I been with you such a long time and yet you have not known me Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How then do you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you, I do not speak from myself. But the Father who dwells in me, he does the works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me, or else believe me for the very works' sake. 12 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me, the works that I do he shall do also, and he shall do greater works than these, because I go to my Father. 13 And whatever you ask in my name, I will do it so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.
15 "If you love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Comforter so that he may abide with you forever, 17 Even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive because it does not see him or know him. But you know him because he dwells with you and will be in you.
18 "I will not leave you comfortless. I will come to you. 19 Yet a little while and the world no longer sees me, but you see me. Because I live, you shall live also. 20 At that day you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21 He who has my commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves me. And he who loves me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will manifest myself to him." 22 Judas, not Iscariot, says to him, "Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us and not to the world?" 23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If a man loves me, he will keep my words. And my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him. 24 He who does not love me does not keep my sayings. And the word which you hear is not mine, but that of the Father who sent me.
25 "These things I have spoken to you, being yet present with you. 26 But the Comforter, who is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatever I have said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 28 You have heard that I said to you, 'I go away and come back to you.' If you loved me, you would rejoice because I said, 'I go to the Father,' for my Father is greater than I am. 29 And now I have told you before it comes to pass, so that when it has come to pass, you may believe. 30 Hereafter, I will not talk much with you, for the prince of this world comes and has nothing in me. 31 But so that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go from here."

Introducing the Jeep Patriot from Vero Beach Jeep, America's greatest priced SUV. Compared to the 2006-2010 models, the 2011-14 Jeep Patriot had larger spring and damping prices, added rebound springs, and an elevated diameter of the rear sway bar but (in 2011 at least) the finest 4×4 fuel economy in its segment. The 2011-14 Jeep Patriot 4×4 included a low-variety mode with a ideal-in-class 19:1 crawl ratio, brake traction manage, 19-inch water fording capability, Hill Descent Manage, 4×4 Lock (which sends 50 percent of torque to front and rear wheels), and a maximum tow rating of two,000 lbs.
Fuel economy begins at 23 mpg city/29 mpg hwy/25 mpg combined with the manual, dropping to 21 mpg city/28 mpg hwy/23 mpg combined with the six-speed automatic (20 mpg city/26 mpg hwy/22 mpg combined with all-wheel drive) and 20 mpg city/23 mpg hwy/21 mpg combined with the Freedom Drive II/CVT mixture. Schedule a test drive these days to find out how our Chrysler Jeep dealership can serve you. Although the Patriot was out there with front wheel drive, two optional 4 wheel drive packages had been readily available: Freedom Drive I and the Freedom Drive II with an Off-Road Package.
Opt for Freedom Drive II, and the Patriot will do a decent impression of a true SUV in the bushes. The Jeep Patriot had a standard body-color grille and fascias, accent-color bodyside molding, black door handles, accent-colour liftgate appliqué, black side roof rails, 16-inch styled steel wheels and all-season tires. We partner with nearby Jeep Patriot dealers across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland to provide you with the largest decision of Jeep Patriot cars accessible in your area. Each trims of the Jeep Patriot can be had with either of the Freedom Drive 4WD systems.
If you are tight on cash but yearn for a new Jeep, the Patriot can be your ticket into the brand. I bought a new Jeep from this dealer just a year just before so knew they had been uncomplicated to work with. Provided the amount of time we spent with the gas pedal on the floor, we were mildly impressed with this Patriot's 21-mpg observed fuel economy, just 1 mpg shy of the EPA combined rating. In government crash tests, the Patriot received three stars for front impacts (there is no side-impact or overall rating).
Keep in thoughts, although, that this vehicle (which shares its powertrains and platform with the underwhelming Jeep Compass ) is approaching the end of its production. Compass and Patriot shared an interior for 2009, it was improved with additional padding, superior supplies, and additional graceful lines and curves. In short, the Patriot group had to make tough decisions in order to bring an off-road-capable Jeep vehicle to industry at a competitive price. When this engine is paired with the CVT, consumption is 22 mpg city/26 mpg hwy/24 mpg combined.

text: Necrotizing Fasciitis of the Upper Extremity Miguel A. Pirela-Cruz, MD(Disclosure) John C. Dunn, MD(Disclosure) Brendan McCriskin, MD(Disclosure) Enes Kanlic, MD(Disclosure) Necrotizing fasciitis, sometimes called flesh-eating bacterial disease, is a rare limb- and life-threatening soft-tissue infection that can involve the skin, subcutaneous tissue, fascia, and muscle. A variety of microorganisms is known to cause this infectious process. Although it can also affect the lower extremities, 38% of cases of necrotizing fasciitis involve the upper extremities. As in the lower extremities, the consequences of inadequate and untimely treatment of such infection in the upper extremities include high rates of morbidity and mortality. A high index of suspicion and timely treatment can be limb- and life-saving, and are essential for a satisfactory functional outcome of treatment of necrotizing fasciitis and other necrotizing soft-tissue infections. Although necrotizing soft-tissue infections can develop in normal, healthy individuals with relatively minor injuries, persons with immunocompromising illness are at greater risk of developing these infections. This article reviews the treatment of necrotizing fasciitis and other necrotizing soft-tissue infections of the upper extremities.

Navio2 - an autopilot for your raspberry pi
We love the pixhawk autopilot (and its derivatives), so we got excited when the Navio 2 auotpilot arrived. The Navio 2 is a Raspberry Pi hat that turns your raspberry Pi into a Pixhawk-based autopilot but with serious processing power. It runs the ardupilot, and arducopter code so you know its packed with great features and robust code. But since you have all that extra processing power you can mod your drone to include things such as streaming HD FPV video (over wifi or 4G), or install OpenCV to run some object detection tasks.
Naze 32 Rev6 Flight Controllers
Our naze 32 flight controllers are now back in stock, and we are happy to say they are the latest revision 6 versions of the boards.
Whats new in Rev6?
- USB port has been moved to the right of the board so you dont need to mount the board sideways anymore!
- IMU sensors upgraded to MPU 6500 (Rev 5 uses older MPU 6050)
- Receiver connectors are no longer solder pads but common pin hole headers style. This means that you no longer need to directly solder your receiver wires to the flight controller. Also older revisions had issues of pads delaminating when board got too hot.
- Fully pin compatible with Rev 5 boards for accesories such as OSD.
- Integrated SBUS inverter, now you can connect your FRsky SBUS receivers directly with no extra inverter!
- Dedicated Spectrum Satellite port.
- Additional Flash memory so you can use blackbox recording directly. With the Acro version you get 2Mb (16Mbit) and with naze 32 full you get 128Mbit of storage.
If you want to learn more about the rev 6 board, check out our naze 32 rev 6 getting started guide, and also our naze32 versions guide.
Seriously DoDo F3
If you are looking for a miniquad flight controller with the latest and greatest STM F3 processors then the seriously dodo F3 is the ideal choice. We prefer this board to the seriously pro f3 because the dodo has pin hole headers along with the extra hardware UART port make life much easier when connecting all your peripherals to your flight controller.
Vortex 250 Pro spare parts
Although unfortunate, crashes do happen, especially when pushing your vortex 250 pro racing quad hard to get the tightest lines possible. So if you do end up having a serious crash we now stock the full selection of vortex 250 pro spare parts so you can easily repair your quadcopter and get it back in the air.

Blog Tour: Control by Kim Curran
I'm so excited to be part of the blog tour for UKYA author Kim Curran's second book in her series, Control, thanks to the publishers Strange Chemistry. I hope you all enjoy my interview with Kim not that she's a nominated, established author! Also, there are 5 signed copies of both books in the series for giveaway so please do read on!
Interview with Kim Curran
On Control, Writing and Being Nominated
When you originally imagined the story for Shift, was it always for a trilogy or did it develop over time?
When the idea first came to me, I didn't even know if it was going to be a book or just a story, or something that just ended up in my bottom draw. But as I started to get into it, and get a sense for the characters and the potential fun I could have with the power to Shift, I knew I wanted to spend more time in the world. By the time I was half way through writing the first book, I knew what I wanted to happen in the third book and I had the names for all three worked out (Shift / Control / Delete – the whole of which is a sneaky clue to what happens in book three!). But I didn't really know what was going to happen in book two. I had an idea that I wanted to write about child soldiers in Control, a subject I had done some writing for UNICEF on. But the story morphed when I came to actually write it.
Has your style or way changed at all now that you're an established author?
My style has changed in that I think it comes a bit more naturally to me. I'm more familiar with Scott's voice and so don't really have to think about it. But my style changes a little when writing stories outside the Shift world. One thing that hasn't changed are my love of short sentences.
You would think that being an 'established' author would mean it was less scary. But the truth is, it's just as terrifying. And now I have reader's expectations to deal with. So there are still days I want to hide under my desk and only come out once it's all gone away. But those days seem to come less and less now.
I remember when you got your nomination for a British Fantasy Society Best Newcomer Award! How did you feel and did you do anything to celebrate?
I felt utterly, utterly amazed. I wracked my brain to try and work out how I had been nominated (did my mother have membership to the society?) and why (had my husband paid them?). It's in my nature to try and brush things like these off – I'm not very good at accepting praise of any kind. And so I would have probably come up with some excuse to explain it. Like there was another author with a similar name. Or the award didn't mean that much. However, when I saw the name of my good friend Lou Morgan on the same list, I was beyond happy for her and knew how important the award is. Which meant I had to be happy for me too. A weird experience. Damn that Lou Morgan.
I didn't celebrate much beyond having a rum and coke with my friends on the night and a few snoopy dances when I was back home. But the glow of happiness helped pull me out of a pretty glum phase I was going through. So it was impeccable timing.
Can you describe your writing process for Control? Did you listen to music, have a favourite place to go write, do lots of research?
I've fallen into a pattern with writing. Which I guess can be called my process. And although it's hard to remember exactly what I did when writing Control, (I wrote the first version in about two months, so it's all a bit of a blur) I'm pretty sure it followed the same pattern as when writing Shift and now as I start to write Delete. This is how it seems to work.
I write my first draft in notebooks. My favourite place to write long-hand is on the top deck of the bus on my way to work. Weird, I know, but it seems to work for me. I have the Yeah Yeah Yeah's It's Blitz playing on repeat to drown out the sound of my fellow commuters and I write. That album is what I listened to while writing Shift, so it instantly transports me back to Scott and his world.
This initial, hand-written version is hardly worthy of being called a first draft. It's more like draft zero: the basic structure is there, with huge gaps and stuff to work out. So as I type the scribbles up, I start to add flesh to the bones. Once I've finished this version, I'll still probably be about 30-20% short of my final draft word count. I'm an underwriter. I print it out, or send it to my kindle, and read it from start to finish while making notes. Then it's a case of polishing and polishing until I think it's ready to share with my beta readers. Then it's react to their edits, polish, polish and polish, then off to my editor.
I don't edit as I go. Because if I did, I'd probably never finish.
Without giving too much away, what can we expect from Control?
In Control we see Scott struggle more with his power and with the events from book one. It takes some darker turns and Scott doesn't really have that good a time of it. Basically, I'm pretty mean to him. You'll also meet some new and interesting Shifters as well as see your favourites from the first book. And the ending… well, I'm really looking forward to seeing how people react to that. Let's just say, I've been sneaky.
Ooh, that is a teaser if I ever saw one. Can't wait to read Control!
Now a few quickfire questions to end:
(This next set of questions are impossible as I'm both of all of them!)
Tea or coffee?
Tea mostly. Decaf coffee as well as I'm finding real coffee makes me really fidgety at the moment.
Drama or comedy?
Action. 😉
e-Books or physical books?
Both. I love my kindle and love my heaving book shelves. But when the zombie apocalypse comes, it will be physical books all the way.
Indoors or outdoors?
Both. I love spending time tucked away, but have to get out of the house/office often, or else I might go crazy!
Favourite author?
Impossible! There are too many. I'll limit it to my favourite book of last year, which was probably Angelmaker by Nick Harkaway. Or a Monster Calls by Patrick Ness. Or Zoo City by Lauren Beukes. Or The Explorer by James Smythe. See! Too many.
Favourite artist/musician?
Again, too many. But I'm listening to The Heavy a lot at the moment.
Favourite movie?
Alien. Or Aliens. Or Nikita. I'm bad at picking favourites, aren't I?
Favourite ice cream?
Coconut. Finally something I can be certain about!
Thanks so much for doing the interview Kim!

Scott Tyler is not like other teenagers. With a single thought he can alter reality around him. And he can stop anyone else from doing the same.
That's why he's so important to ARES, the secret government agency that regulates other kids like him: Shifters.
They've sent him on a mission. To track down the enigmatic Frank Anderson. An ex-Shifter who runs a project for unusual kids – as if the ability to change your every decision wasn't unusual enough. But Anderson and the kids have a dark secret. One that Scott is determined to discover.
As his obsession with discovering the truth takes him further away from anyone he cares about, his grip on reality starts to weaken. Scott realises if he can't control his choices, they'll control him.

About Kim Curran:
Kim was born in Dublin and moved to London when she was seven. She got her first typewriter when she was eight, had a poem she wrote about a snail published in a magazine when she was nine, and that was it – Kim was hooked on writing.
Because she never thought she'd actually be able to make a living as a writer, she decided she needed a trade to fall back on. So, naturally, she went to Sussex University to study philosophy.
While Kim's plan of being paid big bucks to think deep thoughts never quite worked out, she did land a job as a junior copywriter with an ad agency a week after graduating. She's worked in advertising ever since, specialising in writing for videogames.
She can be found on her website and on Twitter.
To celebrate the release of Kim Curran's Control, Strange Chemistry are offering 5 Signed Copies of Control and Shift! To enter, all you need to do is tell us what embarrassing moments you'd change if you could shift! Simply tweet @strangechem and use the hashtag #Control to tell us what red-faced moment you'd like to erase. Winners will be picked at random; the competition is open to international entrants; and competition ends on 31 August.

As we work our way through the Parables, we always remind the children that Parables are gifts. That is why in our Godly Play classroom, they are contained within gold boxes.
Today's story can be condensed as follows:
"There was once someone who said such amazing things and did such wonderful things that people followed him. They couldn't help it. They wanted to know who he was, so they just had to ask him.
Once they asked him who he was, he said, "I am the Good Shepherd. I know each one of the sheep by name. When I take them from the sheepfold they follow me. I walk in front of the sheep to show them the way.
I show them the way to good grass and I show them the way to the cool, still fresh water. When there are places of danger I show them how to go through.
I count each one of the sheep when they come back and go inside the sheepfold. If one of the sheep is missing I would go anywhere to look for the lost sheep--in the grass, by the water, even in places of danger.
And when the lost sheep is found I would put it on my back, even if it is heavy, and carry it back safely to the sheepfold.
When all the sheep are safe inside I am so happy that I can't be happy just by myself, so I invite all of my friends and we have a great feast.
When the wolf comes, the Good Shepherd stays between the wolf and the sheep. The Good Shepherd would even give his life for the sheep, so they can come back safely to the sheepfold."
As we close each storytelling session, we have wondering time where we can think further about the story as a group.
Some wondering questions to try at home:
- I wonder if the sheep have names?
- I wonder if you have ever been lost?
- I wonder if you have ever been found?
- I wonder if the Good Shepherd has ever called your name?
Remember. This is not a time to quiz children on what they may or may not recall about the lesson. Rather, it is an opportunity to be quietly present as the children share their own experience.
See a storyteller presenting this Parable here on YouTube.

The history of Junior League projects is varied and long lasting. Junior League has served as an innovator of projects in partnership with other community agencies. Many of these projects are taken over by others and maintained. This is the main way to train women to become community leaders.
We have a rich history of working with the schools in the area. Some of the programs in the schools have included:
- Early Indians historical programs – Members visited classrooms and discussed the earliest inhabitants of this area. They presented a box of artifacts to class and passed them around to the students, including pottery shards, arrow heads and other archeological artifacts of this area.
- Kindergarten pre-screening program
- Safety Programs at the schools – Mr. Yuk poison and other safety programs
- Latchkey program held at the schools
- We still work closely with schools today, our most recent project being our contribution to the All God's Children Must Have Shoes program.
Some other projects taken on by League:
- 1955 – Junior League members provided all the services for the Easter Seal Day Camp. The camp was run on the campus of Monticello College (now Lewis and Clark Community College) until 1975, when the affiliation ended and Easter Seals took over running and financing the program. This program is still run today by Easter Seals.
- 1973 – Junior League members formed the founding group of the Piasa Bicycle Trails, Inc. An initial event was to host the Great River Road Bike Day. The state closed the River Road for one day for bicycles only. This event led to the work to put a bike trail in permanently. Piasa Bicycle Trails Inc. was formed to allow separate and continued focus on the issue. This group worked with local, state and federal officials to create a bike trail in the area. The bike trail was dedicated in 1976.
- 1977 – Bike Safety Fair began – It was planned and executed by the provisional class and presented at area schools. This became an annual program until 2002. The last event was held in cooperation with Alton Memorial Hospital. They have now taken over this event and continue the program that gives away free bicycle helmets at their annual safety fair.
- 1975 – Provided leadership in organizing a citizens committee concerned with the new Gordon F. Moore Park. Dr. Gordon Moore worked to develop and implement the creation of the park.
- 1980 – Dedication of mini park fountain and play area at Gordon Moore Park. This was joint effort of Alton/Godfrey Rotary, Kiwanis Clubs and Junior League to have these additions to the park.
- Installing Mini Parks in cooperation with Price and the Alton Parks and Rec. Dept. in small areas around Alton was a continuing project.
- 1985 – Organized Robert Wadlow statue dedication
- Also organized the opening celebration for Famous Barr; now Macy's

The Sterling Institute's mission is to inspire & empower innovation, research & collaboration in our community.
One of our primary focuses is to inspire innovation in SHS's academic program. Currently, The Sterling Institute is partnering with Squiggle Park to investigate new potential tools to foster literacy in our youngest readers. As a school, SHS is committed to developing programs that inspire curiosity and a passion for learning. As a support to SHS's academic program, The Sterling Institute is partnering with Maximum City, which is developing an authentic design challenge to foster further engagement in school.
The Institute also conducts in-house action research in order to inform our practices. Additionally we partner with outside organizations to ensure that our programs are the best that they can be. Currently we are working with the Sunnybrook Research Institute in the areas of exercise and cognition.
Throughout the 2015-2016 academic year, the Institute led SHS through the CAIS re-accreditation process. The Canadian Accredited Independent Schools (CAIS) is a community of independent schools focused on whole school improvement. It supports schools' growth and development through leadership training, research and accreditation. The two cornerstones of a CAIS review are "celebrating strengths" and "determining next steps" for whole-school improvement. The Institute supported SHS as all faculty and staff, as well as many parents, students and alumni worked collaboratively to complete our internal review. It focused on SHS's strengths and areas for growth.

The government of the day, especially the Prime Minister, exercises enormous patronage and exercises considerable power, all in the name of royal prerogative. These powers enable the executive to appoint and dismiss ministers, dissolve parliament [UPDATE: this prerogative was abolished by section 3(2) of the Fixed Term Parliaments Act 2011], grant clemency and pardons, award honours, declare war, declare a state of emergency, sign treaties, issue passports, deport foreign nationals, create universities, designate cities, and to make thousands of appointments. All these powers are exercised with no legislative oversight or control. In the absence of a monarchy, the legitimate authority for these decisions would reside in Parliament, which could choose whether and how to delegate decisions to the executive, and how the executive would be held to account for the exercise of those powers. This alone, in my view, is sufficient reason to want to abolish the monarchy.2. The monarchy has real political power to appoint and dismiss the Prime Minister.
In the event of an election which does not produce a decisive result (the likelihood of which is increased by the possibility of electoral reform) the monarch has real powers to decide who should form a government. The present monarch, Queen Elizabeth, has been actively involved in determining the appointment of Prime Ministers in 1957, 1963 and 1974. Furthermore, there is precedent for the dismissal of a Prime Minister with an absolute majority: one of my first political memories is the dismissal of Australian Prime Minister, Gough Whitlam, by the Governor General of Australia (the representative of the Queen) despite having a clear electoral majority of the lower House. Many Australians believed that they lived in a country in which the outcome of an election determined who would form a government, and were startled to find that the (written) Australian constitution makes no mention of political parties, the Cabinet or of the position of Prime Minister, all of which turned out to be no more than "conventions" by which the Australian Westminster-style democracy operates, just as they are in the UK.3. The monarchy interferes in our day-to-day political life.
Aside from the power to arbitrate the result of an unclear election, the monarchy (and indeed the wider Royal family) exercises real political power. Civil servants produce regular briefings on domestic and foreign policy for the Queen and other royals. The Prime Minister has a weekly meeting with the Queen to discuss current policy issues (NB in a telling piece of Palace jargon, this is an audience of the Queen, not with the Queen), and Government Departments regularly receive requests for briefings on specific issues from the Queen and other senior royals. The royals are not getting all these briefings " over and above what they can read in the newspapers " out of idle curiousity. They see it is as their legitimate role to influence government policy (as Bagehot said, "the right to be consulted, the right to encourage, the right to warn"). It is no secret Prince Charles and his staff have had protracted discussions with civil servants and ministers on policy issues such as environment, architecture, nanotechnology andagriculture.
4. The monarchy perpetuates the class system and undermines the proper recognition of merit.
There is not much wrong with Britain that isn"t the fault, one way or another, of the class system. At the apex of the system is our hereditary Head of State, Governor of the Church of England, Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces and head of the Judiciary (all one person!). Until we turn our back on hereditary power at the top of our political, military and religious institutions, we have little chance of shaking off the mentality of a society defined by class. Growing up in Britain, every child (but one) knows that they could never become Head of State, simply by virtue of being born to the wrong family.
5. The monarchy undermines our reputation abroad and is bad for business (even tourism).
The antics of our royal family certainly evoke an amused interest among foreigners. But the pomp and pageantry of Royalty project Britain as a theme park of Beefeaters, castles and soldiers in bearskins. In short, most foreigners see our royals as we see the King of Swaziland. This is a public relations disaster for our (economically important) efforts to project Britain as a modern democracy, with commercial strengths in modern sectors such as financial services, biotech and new technologies. The Royal Family does not convey the brand that our high-tech exporters want to project. If we want young people from around the world to come to our universities, or international investors to put their money into our businesses, we need to offer more than a quaint history. It is sometimes argued that royalty is good for tourism: but France has been a republic for over 130 years and attracts three times as many foreign tourists as Britain. The Palace of Versailles, which is the biggest tourist attraction in Europe, has more visitors than Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace combined, in part because it is fully open to the public, all year round. The British nation"s royal art collectionsand memorabilia, currently hidden from us by the monarchy, could behoused in galleries that would be a huge boost to tourism, both from within the UK and from abroad.6. The monarchy makes it impossible to separate Church and State
One reason why we still have an established church in England, which discriminates in favour of one religion above all others, is the difficulty of disconnecting the two while the Queen is Head of both Church and State. This is a piece of religious discrimination which is a dangerous anachronism in a multi-cultural, mainly secular society.
The debate isn's about wether "Should there be Royalty IN CHARGE of the U.S.", but "Should there be Royalty IN the U.S." I see no reason why the Queen of England can't visit us, so yes, there should be Royalty in the U.S.

Welcome to the Book Club discussion for You are a Badass, by Jen Sincero. Below is a list of discussion questions to get the conversation started. We are excited to hear your thoughts in the comments section below. We've added our thoughts for each question as well. Feel free to answer all the questions, or pick and choose a few questions to discuss!
1. What were your main takeaways from the book?
I am not really one for manifesting things through thought, but rather than dwell on her points relating to that, I took away that thinking positively and upwardly (is this a word?) are a great start to achieving your goals.
Her discussion on examining self truths also resonated. She suggests thinking about things you say that start with "I always" and "I never." I believe she calls this section "Becoming aware of your stories" and it really stuck with me. I think everyone has a tendency to define their own personality and make grand declarations about their tendencies (For example: I'm an introvert! I hate exercise!). She points out that this can be limiting and suggests breaking free of your own self defined personality boundaries.
2. Did the author's style of writing appeal to you? Did you find it to be entertaining? Too brash?
I enjoyed her style of writing. It was a nice change from the cut and dry tone of similar motivational books I have read. The tone made it feel like she was speaking directly to you, which made the novel almost feel like being personally coached or mentored.
3. What did you think of the fact that the author ended each chapter with "Love Yourself"
I think I just kind of started jumping over this last one once I realized it was repeated at the end of each chapter. It is a good reminder though!
4. So far, have you made any changes in your own life based on the advice given in the book?
I would say I have already adopted two things.
Ask Yourself Why! I am fairly self- aware, but I have been trying even harder than usual to ask myself why I am about to say or doing something, particularly if it leans towards negative attitude. I am already catching myself more. This goes along with the section in which she discusses thinking about why you may dislike something and really break down your thought process.
Get rid of your stories! I have also been trying not to limit myself based on the own definition of my personality I have created over the years. Basically trying to let go of the grand declarations I make about myself to others.

The Taste of Sunshine, originally uploaded by susanvg.
I love the look and taste of blood oranges. The first time I saw one was in Italy and I thought the orange was spoiled. That was years ago and I have since learned to enjoy them.
Mmmm - delicious picture, both for the eyes and for your mouth, I'm sure! You are lucky to have fresh strawberries in winter! We can only get them frozen, and they get quite soggy when defrosted.ReplyDelete
What a tasty looking photo. We are very fortunate in the area where I live to grow a great variety of fruit, lots of which we are harvesting at present. Your photo makes my mouth water.ReplyDelete
What a rich looking photo - love the colors and the abundance of fruit. It looks delicious!ReplyDelete
What a colourful and tasty looking snack.ReplyDelete
Susan- absolutely LOVE the colors and composition of this shot! Looks tempting and tasty!ReplyDelete
I've always wanted to try a blood orange - looks juicy and good! :)ReplyDelete
Your photo shows many different shades of my favorite color - red. I bought some blood oranges before christmas and used a couple of them to make orange muffins. Disaster! The muffins were a horrible looking gray inside!ReplyDelete
really great image! awesome colours and composition. it looks yummy!ReplyDelete

Oman's retail sector shows robust growth potential, driven by demand from both residents and the country's expanding tourism industry. A robust growth in population, growing employment opportunities and a better disposable income are also driving demand for retail space. Apart from growing salary levels of locals, the number of people earning income in a family also increased in recent years. Muscat is seeing some of the highest growth figures, driven by an influx of expatriates, which account for over 60 per cent of the total population of the governorate. Oman's population crossed the four million mark in 2014. A massive growth in new retail space will be seen in the market over the next four to five years, which could include malls, supermarkets, hypermarkets and department stores.
New developments
Several retail chains are trying to tap this demand by building mega malls and other retail facilities. A significant volume of new retail space is set to enter the market over the next five years, across a mix of both mall-based and master plan developments. Four major players – Majid Al Futtaim (MAF), Lulu Hypermarket (Avenue Mall), Muscat Grand Mall, and Marsa Village Retail Centre – are adding most of the mall space. Majid Al Futtaim Properties, a leading business house in the Gulf region, is set to invest RO180 million to build the country's biggest mall in Muscat as part of its ambitious expansion plans in the region. Oman's new shopping and entertainment destination is expected to generate 1,500 jobs for its construction and a further 3,500 jobs once opened and will enhance the Sultanate's retail and entertainment offering for both residents and tourists. Construction of the mall on a 157,000 square-metre land, which will house 350 stores, is expected to start this year and will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2017. The UAE retail chain also plans to build another mall – My City Centre Sur – which will add 16,000 square metres of gross leasable area to the country's burgeoning retail sector. Anticipated to open in the first half of 2017, the estimated investment for the project is RO12 million. My City Centre Sur will be the first My City Centre in Oman in addition to City Centre Muscat and City Centre Qurum, owned by Majid Al Futtaim. Tailored to suit the individual needs of residents, My City Centre Sur acts as a social hub for the immediate community, housing 50 retail outlets, including a Carrefour hypermarket as well as a significant mix of leading brands and casual dining options. The whole idea is to tap the market in interior regions. Being a community mall, My City Centre Sur will be a great added value to the surrounding communities and offer an exceptional array of shopping, fashion and dining options. The new mall is located on Sur's main commercial road, and is set to be a key destination for both residents and the growing number of tourists visiting this coastal city famed for its dhow shipyards, and nearby beaches and wadis. Majid Al Futtaim has been in Oman since 2001 and built the first mall in the capital, the Muscat City Centre. The company also owns and operates Qurum City Centre. Muscat City and Qurum City centres are being redeveloped and expanded at a cost of RO30 million.
Regional players
The Lulu Hypermarket, which opened its Avenue Mall at Bausher, offers a total leasable area of 80,000 square metres with more than 205 retail outlets. The mall can accommodate more than 200 brands under its roof. The five -storeyed mall with 80,000 square metres of leasable area, a wide variety of retail stores and a host of facilities, is home to a mix of local, high-street and posh international brands. The mall, which anticipated around 40,000 to 50,00 people every day, also has around 3,400 parking bays divided equally between the basement and the surface parking to help shoppers. A symbiotic blend catering to the needs of shopping enthusiasts on the one hand and entertainment seekers on the other, the mall showcases an array of new as well as prominent brands from across the world. Comprising a large food court with popular names serving cuisine from all over the world and a well-equipped play area for the comfort of children, the mall has amenities to suit the needs of all shoppers and also includes the existing 20,000-square metre Lulu hypermarket for all the daily needs. The mall also has extensive facilities for party halls, a convention centre and one of the largest health clubs in the Sultanate.Muscat Grand Mall (MGM), the first major mall that opened in 2012 has started work on its second phase expansion – a positive reflection of retail performance. The Tilal Complex, which houses MGM along with other residential units, is planning to add 80 per cent more space to its existing facility at Bausher, taking the total area to 250,000 square metres of space from 140,000 square metres now. The retail part alone will almost double – from 65,000 square metres to 120,000 square metres – and the number of retail outlets will go up to 250 from 145 now.
In yet another development, the retail supply at the Wave is also set to grow from the current 1,500 square metres to over 12,000 square metres, with the development of Marsa Village Retail Centre, which will offer 10,850 square metres of retail and commercial space for lease, and will be anchored by luxury UK supermarket concept Waitrose with their 1,500 square metre-store. Apart from major players, KM Trading, Mars Hypermarket, Al Maya Supermarket, Fathima Group, and Karama Hypermarket have been trying to further strengthen their presence across the country, with a series of expansion plans.

The Tax & Accounting business of Thomson Reuters has introduced a transfer pricing software product that helps multinational corporations like Ford Motor Company cut their tax bills.
ONESOURCE Operational Transfer Pricing enables multinationals to manage transfer pricing data, compliance and reporting in real time. The system collects, validates and standardizes data from multiple ledgers into a centralized system, providing reporting visibility on demand instead of through the traditional annual process. Using the technology, corporate tax professionals can identify and communicate areas of risk early in the year. The new system allows companies to manage, forecast and plan their transfer pricing strategies throughout the year.
Ford is an early adopter of the new system. "With ONESOURCE Operational Transfer Pricing, reporting that used to take four months can be done in just a week, allowing us to reallocate our resources to more strategic activities," Ford Motor Company manager of transfer pricing strategy and analysis Elizabeth Blatchford said in a statement.

The key to "grilling" steaks indoors is the cast iron skillet. You can use a flat one or a ribbed one. The ribbed ones are good for giving the steaks "grill" marks, but the flat one allows the steaks to cook in juices. Let's start with those juices.
30 minutes before you preheat the oven, season the steaks on both sides. I use a steak seasoning from Aldis. Nothing extravagant, just lots of salt, pepper, and garlic.
30 minutes later, preheat the oven to 350 F.
On the stove, get the cast iron skillet medium-high hot. Once hot, spray with something like Pam. Just before you put the steaks in the pan, add something flavorful—butter, olive oil, or bacon grease. If I have grease, I use it.
Then put the steaks on the hot, oiled pan without touching each other. Check at 5 minutes. If they're getting crusty, flip and cook for 5 minutes on the other side. But if not crusty, cook another minute or two. Bottom line…when both sides are crusty, you're finished grilling on the stove.
Put the steaks in an oven-proof dish with foil securely wrapped on top. Turn off the oven. Put the steaks in the oven. Leave there for 10 minutes or more. I really don't fuss about it.
The cast iron pan should still be hot. Add some full-bodied red wine, like port or pinot noir, to the steaks' juices. (Truthfully, I unload something from the pantry that's been stored for a while.) Stir, stir, stir, allowing the juices and wine to reduce by about half. Melt in 2-4 tablespoons of butter. Keep stirring until you have the right consistency.
Five minutes before you're serving, remove the dish from the oven and let rest on plate or cutting board. They should look something like this…
Serve with the juices/wine concoction and, of course, mashed potatoes.

MP: Home minister, BJP MLA in soup for flouting road rules
Madhya Pradesh home minister Bhoopendra Singh and BJP legislator Shailendra Jain rode into controversy when they were caught on camera riding a two-wheeler without wearing helmets in violation of traffic rules.bhopal Updated: Aug 19, 2016 12:27 IST
Madhya Pradesh home minister Bhoopendra Singh and BJP legislator Shailendra Jain rode into controversy when they were caught on camera riding a two-wheeler without wearing helmets in violation of traffic rules.
The incident comes only two weeks after the transport department issued instructions to the regional transport offices to ensure that the two-wheeler riders and their pillion mandatorily wore helmet.
The Section 129 of the Indian Motor Vehicle Act, 1988, too makes it mandatory for drivers and pillion riders to wear helmets. A violation of the rule attracts a penalty of Rs 250, the city traffic police said.
Singh, who also holds the transport portfolio, was riding pillion on the Enfield bullet driven by the Sagar MLA at the Bharatiya Janata Party's Tiranga Yatra in Sagar on Tuesday.
The BJP is holding the 'Tiranga Yatra' to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Independence Day to inject a fresh bout of nationalism among the countrymen.
On August 16, Union ministers Piyush Goyal and Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore kicked up a row by riding a motorcycle sans helmets during a 'Tiranga Yatra' in Jaipur. In 2014, Union road transport and highways minister Nitin Gadkari had also landed in a controversy when he was caught on camera entering RSS headquarters in Nagpur on his scooter without wearing a helmet in violation of traffic rules.
Criticising the home minister, state Congress chief spokesperson KK Mishra said: "It is a serious offence if the transport minister of the state himself is violating traffic rules, who is also home minister…(He) should be dealt with accordingly."
However, deputy superintendent of police (traffic) Sagar, HN Botham, expressed his helplessness over the issue. "What can we do? (The) Tiranga Yatra has made a mockery of traffic rules in the whole country not only in Sagar."
This is when the Madhya Pradesh police had slapped Rs 500 fine on Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi for violating the Motor Vehicles Act during a road show in Gwalior. He had wooed people by sitting atop a Tata Safari.
Jain tried to brush the issue aside. "Since a very long time, I am wearing turban and if Punjabis are given exemption (from wearing helmet) why not me? I cannot wear a helmet over a turban."

WASHINGTON - President Obama on Tuesday night touted his administration's financial services rules, called for steps to benefit the middle class such as lower Federal Housing Administration premiums and reiterated support for legislation to address cyber threats.
Obama's State of the Union address was light on details about his financial services policies. But in a speech declaring that "the shadow of crisis has passed," Obama still touched on issues relevant to bankers as part of broader themes.
He pledged not to sign legislation to further roll back reforms passed during his tenure, including financial rules.
"We can't put the security of families at risk by taking away their health insurance, or unraveling the new rules on Wall Street, or refighting past battles on immigration when we've a got a system to fix," Obama said. "And if a bill comes to my desk that tries to do any of these things, it will earn my veto."
Obama included the Dodd-Frank Act and the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau among policies that, he said, had critics but have proved workable in a now-growing economy.
"We believed that sensible regulations could prevent another crisis, shield families from ruin, and encourage fair competition," he said. "Today, we have new tools to stop taxpayer-funded bailouts, and a new consumer watchdog to protect us from predatory lending and abusive credit card practices."
More concrete policies of interest to banks and other financial institutions had been unveiled in the days and weeks leading up to Tuesday's address than were mentioned in the speech itself. For example, as part of changes the administration is proposing for the tax code, the White House recently called for a 7-basis-point fee on liabilities for the largest financial firms, reviving an idea Obama has raised in the past. But the speech left out mention of a bank tax, instead referencing his tax proposals with a broader brush.
"Let's close the loopholes that lead to inequality by allowing the top one percent to avoid paying taxes on their accumulated wealth," he said. "We can use that money to help more families pay for childcare and send their kids to college. We need a tax code that truly helps working Americans trying to get a leg up in the new economy, and we can achieve that together."
He also mentioned lower FHA premiums among steps to help the middle class. Earlier this month, Obama announced a 37% cut in the FHA's annual premium, to 85 basis points, during a speech in Phoenix.
"Things like child care and sick leave and equal pay; things like lower mortgage premiums and a higher minimum wage - these ideas will make a meaningful difference in the lives of millions of families," Obama said. "That is a fact. And that's what all of us - Republicans and Democrats alike - were sent here to do."
Of particular note to banks, Obama also used the speech to continue to press lawmakers to pass legislation to improve cyber security. In the days leading up to the speech, the administration had unveiled numerous cybersecurity initiatives as the recent massive breach at Sony Pictures has magnified the need for cyber safeguards. They included support for legislation requiring banks and merchants to inform consumers about a cyber-attack within 30 days, and a proposal to improve information-sharing between the public and private sectors.
"I urge this Congress to finally pass the legislation we need to better meet the evolving threat of cyber-attacks, combat identity theft, and protect our children's information," Obama said. "If we don't act, we'll leave our nation and our economy vulnerable. If we do, we can continue to protect the technologies that have unleashed untold opportunities for people around the globe."
