Harper Lee re-enters public life to sue guy who sounds awful
In wholly unpleasant news that, on the bright side, has returned Harper Lee to public life, the beloved author of To Kill A Mockingbird and only a further handful of essays is suing her agent in a bid to regain copyright over her sole novel. 87 year old Lee claims that one Samuel Pinkus –
president of the Pinkus plumbing company literary agent and son-in-law of Eugene Winick, formerly Lee's agent of many years – took advantage of her declining health to trick her into signing over the rights to the bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning book.
The suit alleges that, in the years following Winick's own bout of illness in 2002, Pinkus began to siphon off some of his father-in-law's clients for himself. In 2007, he apparently used Lee's failing eyesight, her hearing loss and her having just suffered a stroke against her in order to have her sign a document that relinquished all rights over the book to him, with no payment subsequently due Lee as a result.On top of all that, at the time of signing, the then-81 year old Lee had already moved to the assisted-living facility where she lives to this day, and now has no memory of transferring the rights to Pinkus or, indeed, agreeing to any of this, suggesting that the suit will be as much a referendum on whether or not Pinkus is in fact history's greatest monster as much as anything else. In case you're willing to give Pinkus the benefit of the doubt and are sure that he must have thought Lee a worthy adversary in this game of wits, no, Lee's lawyer Gloria Phares says 'Pinkus knew that Harper Lee was an elderly woman with physical infirmities that made it difficult for her to read and see,' so if found guilty, he's pretty much just a massive douche.

"Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore." Andre Gide
I recently read an article by Jeffrey A. Harris titled "Preserving the Sites of American Music". While reading this interesting piece, I couldn't help but recall some of my fondest memories while growing up in California and Germany. When I sat back and recalled many of those fond memories, one of the commonalities was the emotional connection to music.
Music has the ability to connect people, transform thinking, awake innovation and capture what might be. Much like "The Arts", it has the ability to bring people together, to mend relationships and spur excitement and innovation. We can all think back to music that has truly touched our lives in various ways.
So if music can do all those on a personal level, can it also do those things on a larger scale and actually assist in transforming communities? Can music be a part of revitalizing an entire community?
When one looks around the country, one will see evidence where music has made a huge difference in the transformation process of many communities. In Austin, TX. we see where a whole section of the city has prospered and grown on the backs of music. In Rochester, MN. the town center is devoted to music and arts and is packed on typical non-winter weekends and even during the week. In Moline, IL. the new Bass Street Landing and its outdoor band shell bring a whole new vibrancy to their downtown. Likewise, "The District" in Rock Island, IL. embraces the arts and music very effectively throughout the entire year. Ogden, UT, once the home of a blighted downtown that people avoided after dark,has become a meca for lovers of music, the arts and entertainment for all ages.
While one can argue that Austin has always been a music town, all the others are simply regular small and mid-sized communities that saw the value of music and incorporated music into their plan of transforming and revitalizing their communities. None of them had a history rich with music, yet they utilized a medium that nearly everyone appreciates and can relate to by creating their town's future through music and vision of what music can bring to their communities.
Those communities didn't just wake-up one day and start promoting music or the arts for that matter. It was created with foresight, vision and strategy along with extensive planning. In their cases, the planning stages weren't long and laborious, but they were long-term and strategic. They pieced together a community-wide vision and then proceeded to make their vision become a reality.
Regardless if a community embraces music as a centerpiece or not, a community without music in their mix is no different than a community without retail or restaurants. A community without music will simply struggle and lose patrons to those communities that understand the binding power of music.
Music alone, however, will do little. Music combined or coupled with the right mix of unique retail and dining opportunities can transform entire communities. Communities would be well served to embrace the value of music as a part of their transformation and revitalization visions and plans. To leave it out will only encourage your local residents to seek this emotional stimulation in other nearby towns and communities.

About Us
Camera Cliques Studios became a reality after many years of envisioning a studio for both amateurs and professionals, alike. The desire to promote photography as an art form and to have a place to socialize with like-minded individuals, grew. When given the opportunity to open a studio, it was seized. We are a family-owned and family-friendly organization. We are located at 43rd. Avenue and Bell Road, behind Discount Tire in NW Phoenix.
My passion for photography started as a child taking pictures with an old used film camera that was given to me. In the early 70's I went to a community college to learn about photography. I even built my own darkroom in a small storage room at home. I developed mostly black & white pictures. When I married, my new bride loved photography and the fact that I had my own darkroom; however, as children came, my darkroom went. Storage became more important than the need for a darkroom.
Until the introduction of digital cameras, photography was difficult to master, so people would use professional photographers to capture their special moments. Photography back in the film days was a hit and a miss for the amateur and the novice. You had a film roll of 12, 24 or 36 exposures and you didn't know what you captured until the film was developed, maybe a week or two later. With today's digital photography, most everyone has a camera in their phone and they take good pictures. Best of all you can take thousands of them at no cost and see them instantly
As good as phone cameras are, they can't take pictures like a DSLR camera. But a DSLR comes at a cost, not necessarily financially, (even though they can become quite costly), but the cost I'm referring to is the learning curve. Before switching to DSLR camera, one must first understand the basics of photography. Without this knowledge they're better off sticking with their cell phone camera. I know many people who bought a DSLR camera, only to come to me later, frustrated, and ask if I would show them how to use it.
I opened Camera Cliques Studios to provide a place to teach people about photography through workshops and to have a place for professionals and amateurs alike, to do their studio work. Amateurs often want to expand their photography skills, and keeping a full-time studio is getting costly for professionals. Camera Cliques Studios also provides a meeting place for professional photographers to network and a photography club for those who want to be part of a group of like-minded people who love photography.

ICOs as a Funding Mechanism: Can it Work for You?
Until late 2017 and the earlier part of 2018, ICOs have been considered a kind of brave new world, an unregulated, uncharted wild west rife with both unknown risk and untapped opportunity.
Nothing excites the imagination like an uncharted landscape, and in the later part of last year, prospective investors rushed in.
By December, ICOs had raised more than six billion dollars and ICO funding had surpassed that of angel and early stage VC funding combined.
But uncharted landscapes don't stay uncharted or unregulated forever. As startups and established companies increasingly turn to ICOs as funding mechanisms, regulatory agencies are subjecting ICOs to serious scrutiny.
Both the SEC and the CFTC are hard at work now regulating cryptocurrencies and token offerings, and also looking at ways to hold errant ICOs accountable, particularly under securities laws. Some jurisdictions are also looking for ways to outlaw fundraising through ICOs and are requiring already-raised funds to be returned to investors.
In the US, (as in some other jurisdictions) regulatory requirements apply to anything that can be offered and sold as a "security", though some ICOs have attempted to skirt this definition by offering their tokens as so-called "utility tokens", or consumptive tokens. The definition of security remains circumstantial and nuanced, but in general, it depends on how the tokens are marketed and whether or not they are presented as an item that will increase in value or can be used in secondary market trading. The SEC has recently taken the position that in its view, there are very few token offerings (if any) that are legitimate utility tokens.
We are working with several clients to make sure their token offerings and/or business models that rely on token offerings are compliant from a securities perspective as well as from a CFTC perspective. The days when you could just issue a bunch of securities to accredited investors is rapidly coming to an end. And our guess is that the SEC may require disgorgement by those companies that did those illegal ICOs.
The takeaway message: If you're considering investing in or issuing an ICO, you'll need to have a sense of the regulatory requirements that can affect your plans. And these regulations are more likely to apply if your chosen token can be considered an investment vehicle rather than a form of currency designed to be spent. Show caution and consider the legal implications if you can answer yes to any of these questions:
Does your coin give the holder a right to share in the profits or capital drawn from your project?
Do you expect that people will be buying the coins because they will increase in value over time?
Does your coin hold value based on another asset, like a commodity, a currency, or an underlying index?
Tokens that operate as true utilities are generally safer from regulatory restrictions and requirements, but once a coin can be described or presented as an investment vehicle, due diligence will require a closer look. Seek legal guidance before putting your trust and the future of your growing company in the hands of an ICO. Feel free to contact us if you have further questions.

Three days ago I made an agressive promise on Facebook.
So, it didn't actually shut me the heck up, but… I have started a process. A self-reflecting and self-regulating process for cleaning up my Facebook feed.
Last week I didn't think much about it. My Facebook settings were all PRIVATE. Meaning FRIENDS ONLY. And I was meeting someone new over coffee when they said, "Oh I looked at your Facebook stuff."
I laughed uncomfortably. "Um, what do you mean?"
"You're pretty active on Facebook. I don't have near that many friends."
"What could you see?" I asked.
"You mean, all my posts and stuff?" I asked, now beginning to get angry. (not at her)
"Yeah, your friends, your posts, your pictures."
Some time later, when I went to look at my Facebook page, this setting (by some update from Facebook, I'm sure) had moved BACK TO PUBLIC.
I flipped it back to FRIENDS ONLY. This was the one thing I was certain of, in my ability to limit my visibility so I could continue ranting and dropping f-bombs, forwarding unflattering jokes, etc. The things I did on Facebook before Saturday.
I clicked on the "More Settings" and immediately reselected "Limit the Audience for Old Posts."
The quaint little warning icon from Facebook. OH MY, are you sure you want to cover your tracks?
And then I went back to business as usual. But I've been thinking about Facebook ever since. What do I get from Facebook?
- Am I narcissistically driven? (don't answer that, it was rhetorical)
- Why are we not getting the online banter somewhere else, some where more personal and private? Like blog comments.
- Why does everyone HATE Facebook and yet everyone uses it?
- What about my sister's kids who started following me at Christmas time? (15-year-olds)
- And that CLIENT who asked to "friend" me BEFORE accepting the terms of our work agreement? I had pitched a significant amount of social media work. What about them?
- And the future clients who are expecting me to lead them in the Facebook world?
- Where was my PUBLIC persona on Facebook?
I am sick of the wondering and complaining about Facebook this and Facebook that. So Saturday, I made the declaration to end the f-bomb and snark-tastic behavior on Facebook. Now, I'm not quite ready to open the floodgates to PUBLIC just yet. And maybe I won't.
But I've decided to allow the TURN ON FOLLOW feature on Facebook.
But the main thing I'm committed to is, upping my positive behavior and lowering my negative behavior on Facebook. I've got some PAGES where I can broadcast my political views and some PAGES where I participate in heated discussions. (no f-bombs anywhere, however, cold turkey stop)
It was Klout that finally brought the Facebook problem home to me.
52% of my social influence was happening on Facebook? GAK! I didn't even really like Facebook. But I lacked a better platform for saying HI, saying YOU SUCK (which I don't say any more) and giving LIKEs to causes, cat and dog funnies, and friend's concerns/updates.
That was going to change.
No f-bombs. No snarks. 100% Positive. And soon 100% public. That's how I used to use Facebook. As an open HOWDY WORLD page. And perhaps that's what it needs to become again. I've got plenty of private places where I share. There's no reason I should be flooding all of my friend's feeds with all of my ideas and inspirations all day.
I'm partitioning off my Social Media Updates to several Facebook pages/groups: UBER.LA, and my musician updates to BUZZIE. And the other two groups, DIVORCE and POLITICS, are anonymous. And then, if things go as I think they will, I will read what PUBLIC means, and learn if my LIMIT PREVIOUS POSTS keeps those posts SHUT.
Or more likely, I will chose PUBLIC or FRIENDS as I post on Facebook in a POST-BY-POST decision process. Consciously deciding is this a PUBLIC idea or a PRIVATE one. And if it's PRIVATE, I think I will redirect it to a different forum. Better yet, a non-Facebook forum.
So that's me, Snark Free – Day #3.
Keep It Social Out There!(tm)

Here I begin my year long journey. I was wracking my brain to come up with a card design for the New Year. From the ether, probably in the shower, I decided on an image of the rings of a tree. Each year, new growth, another ring, another circle of proof of having existed yet another 365 days. And always up for a good block print, I would carve and print the year on top of the image.
Inspired by the results and the fun in doing this project, I challenged myself to a year of block printing. Here is the first postcard…
I used the pink speedy-cut rubber because that is what I had laying around. It cuts quickly and is easier to size than a linoleum block. In the end, it was a bit too soft for the numbers. I would have liked a cleaner, sharper edge.
Printing the postcard 2-up from my ink jet.
Testing the opacity of the ink on the paper.
One down. 51 to go.

Perfect Sugar Cookies Recipe – the best chewy sugar cookies with vanilla cream cheese frosting and festive sprinkles!
Perfect Sugar Cookies with sweet vanilla cream cheese frosting make an appearance on our holiday table each year. This is the cookie we leave for Santa ( along with oats for the reindeer! ). They are chewy, with slightly crispy edges and can be dressed up for any theme and occasion. I adapted my Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies recipe to get the same perfect texture and look. These cookies are bound to become a family favorite!
These Sugar Cookies are perfect for a few reasons: they are super easy to make, the can be frosted and decorated with sprinkles or enjoyed plain. They are chewy, sweet with slightly crackly tops and frosted with my favorite cream cheese frosting.
Sugar cookies are most often made with white granulated sugar, butter, egg, flavor extract, flour and baking soda. It is important to let the butter soften in room temperature before creaming for the best texture of the cookie. Creaming butter and sugar for 3 minutes lets the mixture aerate and bake properly. I also highly recommend using almond extract along vanilla extract. It gives the cookies delicious flavor! The ready dough can be scooped, rolled in your hands into a smooth ball and placed on a baking sheet ( cookie nr. 1) ; rolled in your hands, placed on baking sheet and gently pressed with a bottom of a glass ( cookie nr. 2 ) OR dropped right at the baking sheet ( cookie nr. 3) and baked. Cookie nr.2 will be bigger which gives you more surface to decorate. You can also roll the dough balls in white granulated sugar before placing on baking sheet. My favorite frosting for cookies is made with cream cheese and not an overwhelming amount of powdered sugar, just enough to make the frosting spreadable.

The best chewy sugar cookies with vanilla cream cheese frosting and festive sprinkles!
This recipe makes 24 cookies.
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened ( 12 tablespoons )
- 1.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour see note
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 oz. cream cheese softened
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 cup powdered sugar see note
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with electric hand mixer for 30 seconds. Add sugar 1/2 cup at a time and cream for 3 minutes.
- Add egg and both extracts to butter mixture and mix until incorporated.
Add dry ingredients, in 3 parts, to butter mixture and mix until incorporated.
- Scoop the dough with a medium size cookie scoop ( 1 and 1/2 tablespoon size ) and roll in your hands into a smooth ball. Place cookie balls on a prepared baking sheet. If desired, press gently with the bottom of a glass ( see note ).
- Bake cookies for 8 to 10 minutes ( see note ).
- Cool for 3 to 4 minutes, then transfer onto a cooling rack. Cool completely before frosting.
- To make frosting: in a medium mixing bowl, beat butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add vanilla and mix well. Add powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time and beat for 2 to 3 minutes. You don't have to use all 2 cups, just until you are happy with the texture.
- Frost completely cooled cookies and decorate with sprinkles OR enjoy plain.
Baking time for these cookies is between 8 to 10 minutes. Every oven is different so check the cookies at 8 minutes and if needed add one minute at a time. For me the magic number was exactly 9 minutes.
To properly measure out flour: stir the flour a few times in the container you keep it in, then spoon into measuring cup and level out with knife.
Please note that the butter should be really soft, not just room temperature to touch. It should be so soft, that you need a knife to scrape it off the wrapper. It will ensure proper creaming with sugar.
I use 1 and 1/2 cups of powdered sugar in my frosting but you can use as much as 2 cups, just until you reached the desired texture.
You can roll the dough balls in white granulated sugar before placing on baking sheet. My favorite frosting for cookies is made with cream cheese and not an overwhelming amount of powdered sugar, just enough to make the frosting spreadable.

2. Bhaddā. One of the chief women patrons of Kassapa Buddha. Bu.xxv.41.
3. Bhaddā. Wife of König Munda. At her death the König placed her body in a vessel of oil und mourned for her until his friend Piyaka took him to Nārada Thera at the Kukkutārāma, und there made him realize the folly of mourning. A.iii.57ff.
4. Bhaddā. A woman of Kimbila; she was the wife of Rohaka.
She became famous in the city as a virtuous woman (bhadditthī) on account of her goodness und was admired even by the gods. One festival day, while her husband was away in Takkasilā on business, she greatly longed to be mit him. The spirit of the house conveyed her thither, und from their union a child was born. Her virtue was doubted by her relations, but she convinced them by arresting a flood mit an "Act of Truth." Her husband was also suspicious, but she convinced him by producing a signet ring, which he had given her in Takkasilā. Thus she became famous through her virtue. After death she was born in Tāvatimsa, where she met the Buddha on his visit there, und at his request related to him her story. Vv.ii.5; VvA.109ff.

Toronto entertainment is endless. Nothing stops Torontonians from having a good time. Whether you want dance clubs, comedy, movies, theatres or live music; you will find it all in Toronto.
If there's one thing Toronto does best, it would be the festivals. No matter what month you are in the city, there's sure to be something going on.
Some of the main Toronto festivals to look for are:
- Taste of Danforth, which previously was used to promote the Greek restaurants in the area, but now features booths from diverse cultures along Danforth. The Taste of Danforth has turned into the largest street festival in Toronto.
- International Film Festival, which brings all the stars to Toronto in the fall.
- Caribana Festival, featuring everything Caribbean, and holds one of the best parades the city of Toronto has to offer. Not to mention the authentic food, music and costumes!
- Gay Pride Parade is considered Toronto's largest parade both in viewers online and attendees. It is a celebration of diversity and unity, one that Toronto society holds close to their hearts.
- Cavalcade of Lights, where Toronto lights up its streets and its city on festive colours, each region of Toronto different.
Toronto summer festivals, fall festivals, spring festivals and winter festivals are always done to the nines, and the turnout is incredible. For some Toronto festivals, they block off entire streets in downtown Toronto for a whole weekend!
Another huge Toronto entertainment sector is concerts.
Toronto concerts are a big favourite among locals and tourists alike. You can attend your favourite concert in venues such as the Molson Amphitheatre, Massey Hall or the Ricoh Coliseum. Other popular Toronto entertainment venues include the Phoenix Concert Theatre, Rogers Centre, Roy Thomson Hall, The Guvernment, Yonge-Dundas Square, and Kool House.
You can visit local live bands at various pubs, clubs and bars around Toronto. The Indy rock scene has exploded, especially with the university/college students. For instance, some Universities downtown will offer discount prices to local shows in the area.
Live music in Toronto is rich with flavour and character. For example, Billy Talent became well known after playing in the Toronto live music scene for 10 years (until 2001).
Toronto is considered the 3rd largest theatre city in the world, closely following Broadway powerhouses New York and London. Toronto theatre shows are always being performed at Toronto's favourite venues.
Some of the better-known Toronto theatre venues are:
- The Opera House
- Royal Alexandra Theatre and
- Prince of Wales Theatre.
There are usually packages for dinner and a show, and sometimes a night in a hotel is included in the fee! A package will include a discount dinner for two/four and a theatre show. If you are visiting from out of town and plan to stay in a hotel, that hotel might have a package deal set up. Most of the restaurants that affiliate with the Toronto Theatres can be found in the Toronto Entertainment District.
The Toronto Entertainment District is located between University Ave and Spadina Ave, within the King St West area. Many of the Theatres are located here as well as a great shopping section, restaurant strip, and great pub selections. Since Torontonians do experience a cold winter, when the sun finally comes out make sure to hit up those patios – this is also a great area for dancing.
The Toronto nightclub scene is at its strongest between spring and fall. Torontonians do not let winter ruin their night out, but the patios are closed during that time. The clubs are divided by music genre and age. So it doesn't matter if you are an all-age, rock nightclub fan or a 25+, top 40 nightclub fan; you will find it in Toronto.
Toronto comedy clubs have taken over the city, whether it's at Yuk Yuk's or Second City, Toronto brings comedy to a whole new level. Ticket prices can vary depending on the night of the show, who the comedian is, and if you are buying at the door instead of online.
From festivals to nightclubs to Broadway, there truly is never a dull moment with Toronto Entertainment.

Parent Teacher Support Group
A Close-Knit Team
KC PTSG comprises parent volunteers and teachers who drive home-school partnership in KC. The group is led by two Chairpersons, six Level Representatives and two teachers.
Supporting the School
Whether you have an hour a week or just an hour a month to spare, the time you give tells your daughter that her education is important to you. The school appreciates help from parents in the following areas:
- LOWER SECONDARY NT READING PROGRAMME (for students weak in English): Parent volunteers help students improve their oral communication skills by going through selected reading material with them and where the situation permits, become mentors.
- VIA OPPORTUNITIES: As part of role-modelling service to the community, parents are encouraged to organise and carry out VIA activities together with their daughters. There are many VIA opportunities such as organising CNY parties at elderly care centres, bringing the disadvantaged out to places of interest, serving food to the needy, etc. Your ideas and networks are greatly appreciated!
- CAREER TALKS: Parents are warmly invited to share about their vocations/ jobs or source speakers from a wide variety of sectors to help students gain insights into job choices and career prospects. This is especially meaningful for the graduating students.
- WORK ATTACHMENTS: During the school vacations, selected Sec 3 students participate in work attachments at a wide variety of organisations for periods of up to 2 weeks. These include the Zoo, Awfully Chocolate, Gelato cafes and even film and media companies. Parents' help is needed to source for companies and organisations to host our girls for these work experiences. Work attachments are valuable in instilling values such as resilience, independence and hone skills such as communication and literacy and are very much enjoyed by our girls.
- SCHOOL EVENTS: Parents' help is often needed to support key school events such as fund-raising events or celebrations. Parents may be needed to organise, manage and seek sponsors for such events.
Fostering Camaraderie
There are no formal PTSG meetings; instead, parents meet on a more informal basis (e.g. to plan and prepare for school events, to participate in activities such as badminton, baking or cooking sessions or simply to catch up over a meal at a parent's home or cafes, etc.). These sessions help to promote camaraderie amongst KC parents and strengthen parent-child, parent-parent and parent-school relationships.
Keeping in Touch
The PTSG chairpersons and level representatives keep in touch with parents through WhatsApp. Class and/or activity WhatsApp groups are created for parents to network and discuss common issues pertaining to their daughters' class, development or areas of interest. These chat groups also an integral part of KC PTSG communication. If you would like to join the PTSG WhatsApp class or activity groups, please send a message to the chairpersons so they can add you to the respective chat groups.
PTSG T-Shirt
PTSG has their very own KC PTSG T-shirt for parent volunteers. These comfortable navy blue-coloured dri-fit tees are available in a range of sizes for $15/ piece. If you are interested in getting one for yourself, do let the PTSG chairpersons know or you may also contact the PTSG teachers.

Whether it be new aircraft, alliances or acquisitions Australia's aviation sector has undergone significant transformation over the last few years. And nowhere is this changing landscape more evident than over the skies of Western Australia's resource-rich regions.
In April, Virgin Australia acquired WA based airline Skywest. Skywest began service as Carnarvon Air Taxis flying charter flights in 1963 and was WA's largest regional carrier by the time Virgin acquired 100% of the company. Fifty years later, the business had grown to include scheduled passenger services within regional Western Australia and Darwin, airfreight operations and both regular and ad hoc charters for customers including fly-in-fly-out services for a number of key Australian resource companies such as BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, Chevron/Bechtel and Argyle.
Virgin wasted no time putting its stamp on the newly acquired business and to fast-track its presence in the high growth FIFO market, appointed Merren McArthur to the newly created role of Group Executive, Virgin Australia Regional Airlines.
Ms McArthur brings a depth of experience to the role having led the network and alliances business in Virgin Australia during a period of substantial growth and transformation. Prior to Virgin Australia, she held a number of leadership roles across Australia including Chief Advisor for Commercial at Rio Tinto Iron Ore and Deputy State Solicitor in Western Australia.
Ms McArthur's first job will be to integrate the Virgin regional and Skywest operations. Skywest aircraft will take on Virgin Australia branding and its staff will be retrained in the parent airline's product and culture.
"We believe there is a need for more competition on regional routes and our plan is to grow the current operations and expand our network to new destinations throughout Australia." Ms McArthur said.
WA represents a key regional area for the aviation sector and as Virgin looks to leverage and expand its share of the growing resources sector, it'll be interesting to see how this impacts passenger fares.
"But, as we believe we will, if we get traction out of the merger out of the two businesses and improved loads on some of the regional flying, that enables us obviously to offer lower fares," she said.
In early June, only a month after the acquisition, Virgin Australia confirmed it will increase direct services between Perth and the Pilbara town of Karratha in Western Australia as a result of strong demand from the mining and resources industry.
"Karratha is one of the fastest growing mining towns in Australia and these new flights from Perth are being added in response to strong demand. We have listened to our customers and they were asking for additional frequencies, particularly in the morning peaks," said Ms McArthur.
With these additional services, Virgin Australia will offer 34 flights per week between Perth and Karratha. The newly enhanced regional operation currently has 32 aircraft operating over 800 services per week to 41 different destinations.
"Following the recent integration of Skywest Airlines into the Virgin Australia Group, we now have a strong West Australian base and focus which enables us to quickly identify and respond to growth opportunities in the region, particularly in the high-growth fly-in-fly-out markets. We will continue to review market demand and look forward to growing our regional services right across Australia", McArthur added.
In 2012, an estimated 739,000 bi-directional O&D passengers travelled between Perth and Karratha, up 25.9 per cent on the previous year. Virgin Australia still faces strong competition from Qantas which currently offers an average of eight flights a day from Perth to Karratha and what's the difference in fares?
According to Webjet, a one-way flight from Perth to Karratha will cost from $623 with Virgin and $627 with Qantas.
Merren McArthur will be delivering a talk Virgin's aviation strategy for WA at the WA Transport Infrastructure Summit in Perth on 13 August 2013.
Informa Australia is the nation's leading event organiser. Our events comprise of large scale exhibitions, industry conferences and highly specialised corporate training.

One of the world's most inspiring phenomena is the individual's capacity to cry. Crying let's go. Crying builds up. And crying pacifies. It is but simply amazing, spontaneous, synergistic with true emotion, liberating… I remember the professor who said, "Not to cry is to deprive yourself of your humanity." Beautiful. Wonderfully beautiful.

As with the anti-inflammatory diet program, a lot more studies are required to verify no matter whether this way of consuming need to be anything doctors advise for folks with psoriasis. In spite of their infrequent workouts, these individuals exceeded the 150 minutes a week of moderate to vigorous exercising advocated by U.S. and globe health organizations. Can you all please recommend the ideal suggestion for planning this trip. Some of them have nicer/newer machines and a slightly larger assortment than other people, but for they are all exceptionally clean, and I've never seen them not function. If we could speak to dolphins, and a human and a dolphin engaged in an argument about abstract philosophy, say, the human would most surely win. I will be riding for the 1st time to Leh Ladakh from July 17th to Aug 2nd. Interesting hub, thank you, and hold up the very good perform with your workouts. Creativity: Empaths are quite creative: something from music, drawing, painting, photography, acting, writing, singing and dancing to name a few are adored by Empath's. I program on functioning out there each and every day for the subsequent six weeks, so there will absolutely be much more to come on this topic. Days like this demand a snorkel trip to the renowned Molokini Crater, a crescent shaped island positioned about 2 miles off the coast of Maui. Following reading this post (and other individuals such as harmless banned animals.. And so on) I feel you are quite thoughtful in your opinions and even though I do not agree with one hundred% of what you say I feel you state your case very effectively and I hope you continue to analysis and go over troubles like these regardless of detractors. Jennifer had also left her purse in the vehicle, in which Bart identified a romantic poem she had received in an e-mail.
Hi Smith, you can drink ACV as frequently as you like, however the recommended dosage is two to three instances a day. Ologsinquito, this diet regime is a healthier way to shed weight. Now i never know about dolphins as in bottle nosed dolphins, but i do know about pilot whales which are truly dolphins, which has 37.two billion neurons in the cortex, compared to humans which have 20 billion neurons ( ). Also note that this report says it disproves the notion that more neurons = a lot more intelligence, even even though no 1 has ever accomplished any tests on pilot whale intelligence at all, (they don't really survive in captivity). Ive noticed ppl in sports bras and shorts at the PF i go to. The machines have photographs with how to on them so I don't even ask abt them. Pangong Tso Lake – Thiksey Monastery – Shey Palace – Leh. Mentioned beneath is how the journey would be like along with departure days, timing and fares of bus solutions in Leh Ladakh. The fate of the ammonites illustrates an crucial point: what happens in a catastrophe has nothing to do with classic Darwinian fitness. I actually like of extremely pleasant character there,clean , gear usually the factor missing is an indoors track,as for me.truly like it there. This gym is far more like a nation club, you have everything you could ever ask for. Merely simmer balsamic vinegar till it types a thick syrup. I was afraid that it would mean that I would have to make important changes to my diet regime, and getting a passionate foodie this was just not some thing I was prepared to entertain.
Maybe it's the burbs, probably it is that reality that I am in the mid-west, but this health club had a different… really feel than the other massive commercial gyms I've attended. Mind you the lady had undergone top and bottom surgeries.. the staff came in and kicked the screamer out…Of the gym…And revoked her membership, primarily banning her from all areas. It instinctively knows which moves performs ideal to heal your discomfort by triggering a pleasure issue. In the previous my husband and I usually utilised distinct fitness center gear and not only was it high-priced to acquire a diverse workout machine for each and every of us but our residence is not that big and they started obtaining in the way. Founded in 1992 in Chanhassen, Minnesota, Life Time is marketed as a higher-finish facility with personal fitness instruction, salons, meals courts, big youngster centres, and indoor/outside pools" according to WikiPedia. Also, there is anecdotal evidence that ACV is valuable in treating hot flashes triggered by menopause and evening sweats. Never head to either Nubra, Tso Moriri or Pangong as staying in Leh today is essential for acclimatization. We are taking our bikes (pulsar 150 and pulsar 180) with us till Delhi by way of train. That is an great lesson to discover…. Thanks a lot!….. That's actually so helpful. Hi Fiona, there's one particular study which compared the effectiveness of ACV tablets and ACV juice, and in that study, ACV juice came out a winner. This is a great instructional video that truly delivers a great Shiva Rea Flow encounter for your new All-natural Fitness yoga mat.
Another benefit of utilizing rowing machine is that it is low-impact and non-weight bearing which indicates it won't impact your joints, knees or ankles. Cool lens, I had no notion there had been even 10 films about Gymnastics. Very good waterproof footwear for trekking and riding in case you are a biker as you'd have to face water streams on high mountain passes like Chang La, Baralacha La and others. This is what gave rise to the encephalization quotient, which kind of operates, but not as properly as merely counting the number of neurons in the cortex. Cider vinegar boosts metabolism, and when you add some physical exercise to the routine, it multiplies the benefits of losing weight. I have been making use of this for my early morning workouts and (1) I can watch television on my wireless headphones and (two) my family members can sleep upstairs without hearing a issue. Kusama's bronze pumpkins had been exhibited in London at Victoria Miro in 2014 for the 1st time and along with her other artwork, they have also been displayed in several nations. Right now, the Company operates 102 centers below the LIFE TIME FITNESS® and LIFE TIME ATHLETIC(SM) brands mainly in suburban places, in 22 states and 28 major markets. As with every little thing, it is very best to introduce it into your diet regime slowly. While cigarettes are locked behind glass shutters and a single has to ask for a pack of this or that, alcohol is entirely unregulated.

I thank you for your contribution to this argument and I hope that much more men and women wake up to this issue. A lot of people appear to have some form of a moral obligation to elevate this distinct species' status more than humans in practically each and every predicament. Regardless if you had been to define intelligence in terms of capacity for processing details, then some species of dolphin would exceed humans. Gain education whilst you are employed and earning a wage. What you almost certainly didn't know is that Chuck Norris has been utilizing this property health club for more than 30 years (yes, 30 + years) to help construct and hold lean muscle, keep strong and maintain his body firm and masculine. If I'm facing the mirror (like I choose to do) and I jerk the weight up and then drop it, the bumper plates will hit the fitness center floor rather than the rubber padding that is supposed to be on every single side of the wooden strip. Unfortunately organic meat (which not guaranteed to be free of charge of defects) is not accessible at the market due to its shortage, which is the reason why I'd rather not eat meat than poison myself with what appears to be meat but not in reality. I do not have a lot of money and DVDs are more affordable than a gym membership. There are rowing machines with built in heart rate monitors. Thank you rebecca – I am all about practical and coaching the mind to operate with us rather of against us. I appreciate the read and comment.

So, who's tired of being sick?
I tell you what, I am ready to be over this illness and back into my boring, unglamorous life! Yes, I am!
Today, I finally woke up feeling human again and ready to take on the world. But I was careful to take it easy so I don't throw myself into a relapse like The Viking did. He wasn't careful at all and now he has a full-blown sinus infection that has him blowing his nose constantly and coughing like a consumptive.
We also had a scary incident I thought it might be interesting to mention. Two nights ago I was up with insomnia again and heard rapid footsteps on the floor above me heading from the direction of our bedroom to the bathroom. That was not a good sign. I tiptoed to the bottom of the stairs (The Viking doesn't like me to hover when he's ill) and, sure enough, my poor husband was in there. I waited a moment before moving away from the stairs so he wouldn't know I was listening and then he called out for me. He has never done that before.
I ran up the stairs and found my strong, invincible husband, white as a sheet, lying on his knees with his head on the floor, "we're not worthy" style. The thought of grabbing the phone flashed through my mind but first I decided to assess the situation before being rash. He had woken up feeling nauseated and light-headed and when he ran to the bathroom, he almost fainted. He got down on the floor just in time and called me in to help him in case he did pass out (you know, to make sure he had pants on before the paramedics came).
Thankfully, the paramedics were not needed. He managed to make it downstairs to the couch where I propped up his feet, fixed a close eye on him and began questioning him. Interrogation revealed that he had begun taking a new blood pressure medicine two days before. And in true Viking style, he hadn't bothered reading any of the literature about it. And then he downed 400 mg of ibuprofen. And then chugged about a teaspoon of cough syrup. And then enjoyed a glass of wine after dinner.
I know. I've been after him for years to be more conscientious about his medications. He has been known to pop leftover antibiotics whenever he's feeling a bit off, chug cough syrup indiscriminately and has never paid attention to drug interactions. So I had a hunch when I found him balled up on the bathroom floor.
Turns out it was either the alcohol or the other substances he had taken reacting with the new medication. If he had bothered to check, he would have seen that he should have avoided both alcohol and ibuprofen. Whichever it was, it caused his blood pressure to drop a wee bit too low, hence the faintness and deathly pallor. Thankfully, it wasn't very serious, no one got hurt, and, hopefully, my Viking has learned a valuable lesson. Wasn't that a close call, though?
Do you have any idea how good it felt to be (cautiously) out and about in the world today? I was able to strip and remake my bed, launder two loads of clothes and get myself to my very favorite Mennonite/Amish market today! And I didn't feel like crap when I was done! I do intend to run at least two loads of dishes through the dishwasher and make up a weekly menu tonight, but all in good time, my pretties, all in good time!
As for the weekend, I've got big plans for my desk. More specifically, the overly large piles of paper on my desk. Things have gotten way out of hand and those unsightly, messy piles are going down! I've been meaning to take care of them for months now and I've decided their time has come. Let's hope there's a good line up on PBS for me to watch while I'm organizing! I could go for a good Miss Marple of even a few episodes of Rosemary and Thyme. Of course, there's always my Northern Exposure dvd collection of which I've only scratched the surface.
On that note, I must be off. I scored some plump, cleaned and de-veined shrimp for dinner tonight and need to find a good, easy scampi recipe before it gets any later. And, of course, there's the laundry and the dishes...
So glad to be back in the thick of it all!

Cremation in the Canadian Jewish Community
Judaic traditions related to spiritual death practices do not generally accept cremation as an option; however, there is an ongoing debate within the Canadian Jewish community with regard to this practice.
Cremation has always been considered a spiritual matter of compassion among the Jewish and Christian communities in Canada. It wasn't until the mid-1980s that the Roman Catholic Church eased up on the prohibition on cremation. For the Jewish community, this topic remains taboo among conservatives for a couple of reasons.
Reform Versus Conservatism in Canada
It is important to note why the conservative Jewish faith eschews cremation and why the reform movement accepts it. The religious law, Halachah, is clear in the fact that a Jewish person who passes away in Canada or anywhere else on this Earth should be buried. Deuteronomy us also clear on this, and the Christian tradition of burying the dead is adopted from its Judaic roots.
Reform movements have taken place in both Judaic and Christian faiths. As a thoroughly organized faith, the Roman Catholic Church in Canada received edicts and opinion from the Vatican to allow all rites to the dearly departed whom are to be cremated for any reason. Given the chance, Jewish and Christian families will choose burial for their deceased loved ones; however, this may not always be feasible for various reasons. The Islamic faith also practices burial traditions.
An early 2017 broadcast by CTV News reported that cemeteries in Canada were quickly running out of burial plots, prompting families to consider cremation. North America is hardly alone in this sense; even Costa Rica, a Central American nation that is Catholic by virtue of its Constitution is foregoing its burial traditions adn allowing cremated remains to be interred.
In a 2015 article published in the weekly Canadian Jewish News, a rabbi from Toronto's Oraynu Congregation for Humanistic Judaism, a reform congregation, explained that cremation was more of an ethical than religious issue for their progressive faithful.
Dignity Before Earthly Concerns
In late 2016, Rabbi Lisa Gruschcow of Montreal's Temple Emanu-El-Beth Sholom shared her story of a New York man who wanted a funeral for this dearly departed wife, who was to be cremated. At the time, Rabbi Gruschcow, who had been raised a conservative, thought about declining this request.
In the end, the young rabbi thought about the sacred Jewish tradition of dignity compassion, which are stronger than any earthly concerns. Though many Canadian Jews will still seek burial when their means allow it, they also have options such as the aforementioned Temple, which has its own cemetery to allow the interment of cremated remains, and where the dearly departed are given proper funerals in accordance to Judaic law and rabbinical teachings. Visit Aftercare Cremation & Burial Service for more information.

Blackhawks players and coach Joel Quenneville sounded mixed following a 6-0 loss to the Washington Capitals on Friday night.
Some told the media that they could learn from that loss. Quenneville said the Blackhawks should just forget it. They all agreed on one thing: it was one horrible game on their end and they've got to clean things up fast.
On Saturday the Blackhawks got back to work trying to improve upon what failed against the Capitals, which according to Quenneville was quite the laundry list of items:
"I just think little things, whether it was getting or keeping the puck — we didn't have it at all — going into the puck area, going through the puck area, little details. We've probably given up more rush chances than we have in a long, long time," Quenneville said. "Whether it was the competitiveness from the outset, be it the faceoff circle, across the board, but that start to the game put us in a tough spot."
The loss to the Capitals marked the fifth time this season the Blackhawks have lost a game by three or more goals. Last year they lost 13 games by three or more, compared to 12 during the 2014-15 Stanley Cup season. You take that number for what it is: some games are close until the third period (Jan. 2 vs. the St. Louis Blues, a 4-1 loss) and others are like Friday's effort, or lack thereof.
So, do the Blackhawks forget about that mess or learn from it?
"I think maybe a little of both," Andrew Desjardins said. "You gotta learn from some of the stuff in aspects of one-on-one battles, being in good angles. For-sure plays still have to be for sure, where last night they weren't. As far as that goes, you have to learn from those [things]; you have to see it to learn and to understand it's not good enough. At the same time, you have to use it as a drive to be better for the next game and be a little pissed off about it."
[SHOP: Get your Blackhawks gear right here]
Vinnie Hinostroza's nullified goal (due to goaltender interference) took the wind out of the Blackhawks' sails at that point; they would've trailed 3-1 instead of 3-0. But players said there's only so much pointing they can do toward that no-goal.
"We had the momentum for a second there and it got taken away. But we should've responded better than that. It was still 3-0; still could've come back from that," Hinostroza said. "I don't think we responded, at all, how we should have."
The Blackhawks should have a sufficient level of anger on Sunday night when they host the red-hot Minnesota Wild who, thanks to their 5-4 victory over the Dallas Stars on Saturday night, jumped into first place in the Western Conference. The Blackhawks and Wild each have 59 points but the Wild have four games in hand. This one won't be easy, either. The Wild, who swept the regular-season series against the Blackhawks last year, are 16-1-1 in their last 17 games. That included a 12-game winning streak, which the equally hot Columbus Blue Jackets snapped on New Year's Eve.
Will the Blackhawks have the sufficient response? In most cases when the Blackhawks have had a horrible game one night, they've usually come back with a strong one the next. The Wild, much like the Capitals, are surging and there will be little margin for error.
The Blackhawks had an awful one in D.C. in a season that hasn't had many of them. They happen. But whether they lost sleep over it, forgot about it or learn from it, they definitely can't repeat it.
"You don't want to dwell on it, let one bad game turn into two bad games because you're thinking of everything that went wrong the last game," Trevor van Riemsdyk said. "[The Wild have] got a lot of speed, just like the Caps, a lot of skill. It'll take a great effort. When you get beat like that you want a chance to redeem yourself. Tomorrow's a good chance for that."

Eclectic Line Up for 2014 Festival
HAJAmadagascar & THE GROOVY PEOPLE (MADAGASCAR)
It's been a busy Summer at Africa Oyé HQ! With more globally acclaimed artists to announce, Africa Oyé won the 'Inspiration Award' at Liverpools GIT award ceremony last month and Songlines magazine have also named Africa Oyé as one of their Top 10 UK Summer Festivals for the 5th year running!
This year Africa Oyé will be bigger and better than ever! The family-friendly event features workshops, Oyé Active Zone, DJ tent, world cuisine and Oyé Traders Market on top of the sterling main stage line up.
Now in its 22nd year, Africa Oyé attracted over 30,000 in 2013 to the two-day, family friendly city event, and the team are over the moon with this year's line up. Finley Quaye will headline the Sunday night and is joined over the festival weekend by an eclectic mix of artists, detailed below:
The Artists
Rising to fame in the 90's, Finley Quaye's sound made waves across the globe and he topped the UK charts with hIts like 'Even After All' and 'Sunday Shining'. His debut album Maverick A Strike was an instant success racking up multi platinum record sales. Quaye (whose relatives include Afrobeat purveyor Femi Kuti and trip hop star Tricky) will play a mix of classic and new material when he brings his warm Sunshine sounds to the stage.
Jupiter & Okwess International have a unique story; Jupiter was born into a family of griots from the Mongo region. His grandmother was a renowned healer and she taught him how to play traditional rhythms to heal the sick at a young age. As a teen his family moved to Berlin, where he collaborated with European musicians before returning to the Congo. A documentary about his musical exploration called "The Dance of Jupiter" was released in 2007 and his album Hotel Universe was released last year to critical acclaim. Jupiter also collaborated with Damon Albarn to feature on the album "Kinhasa One Two" in 2011.
Also joining the bill are London based Cuban 9-piece band Wara, playing a mix of latin funk, hip hop and rumba. Bending genres with gusto, band members hail from across the globe; from Argentinia to Spain and this unique mix defines them.
Next up on the bill is HAJAmadagascar & The Groovy People who create Afro trance, in a project that gathers musicians from across Africa and the Diaspora. Rooted in Malagasy tradition (the spiritual music of Madagascar) the charismatic groups live show delivers immense energy, and is a must-see education for music lovers!
'Homage To Magool' feat. Farxiya Fiska, brings together some of the leading contemporary Somali singers living in the UK to present the music of their country's most popular singer, Magool. 2014 marks the 10th anniversary of the death of the Somali legend, and this performance will feature Farxiya Fiska – the first Somali artist to have Youtube hits exceeding 1 million – amongst others, paying tribute to her legacy.
Also added to the bill are Joe Driscoll and Sekou Kouyate, one a hip hop extraordinaire from New York and the other a West African maestro. The expression "music is a common language" has never been more apt. US-born Driscoll speaks no French and Kouyate, who hails from the West African country of Guinea, little English. When they were brought together at the Nuit Metis (Mixed Night) festival in Marseille, France in 2010 and given a week to produce a concert, music was the only way they could communicate. They have since formed a band, recorded an album, and performed over 120 concert dates across Europe to rave reviews. Driscoll and Kouyate are mindblowing; blending hip-hop, spoken word, funk, and soulful, accessible rock with Afrobeat, reggae and irrepressible African grooves.
Mose 'Fan Fan' will also grace the stage at Oyé 2014. One of the original purveyors of 'world music' in the UK, Mose began his career in the 60s and is one of the 'grand old men' of African music in Europe. A central figure in the burgeoning area of 'world music' in the UK in the 80s, it is with great pride that Oye welcomes him to the festival for the first time in 2014.
Afrobeat star Abdoulaye Samb & Minnjiaraby hails from Senegal and brings sunshine sounds to Liverpool this summer. Another sterling addition to the line up includes Abdul Tee-Jay's Rokoto from Sierra Leone, to truly get the Sefton Park stage rocking under the feet of such globally acclaimed talent.

Hi crafty people! Happy weekend! Hope you have some fun things planned! It's been raining alllll week here. We're hoping to get in a day trip to Napa this weekend for the Lighted Art Festival. We'll see if the weather holds out! And there is an eclipse Sunday night with a full moon. I think my hubs is going to go out and photograph it with the photography club! Again, we'll see if the weather holds out for that too. Geez, Wednesday we had a record rain total. Most rain in one day for the past 40 years! And, of course, that was the day I had meetings and errands to do! I should have used a boat instead of my car! I survived and it's all good. I have a fun project to share today! It's something that's been in my head for a few months and I'm eager to use it now that it's made! It's a crochet journal! I intend to write down all my projects and notes about the stitches and type of yarn used... That way if I want to make something again - or if someone has a question - all the information is right there at my fingertips! I've been keeping it all in a spiral notebook so far.
Now, funny story... The one great thing about being a craft supplies hoarder is that you can shop at your own house! LOL. I had ALL the supplies needed for this journal in my room. Hahaha. I've been saving this beautiful paper pack for a special project. And now I've used it. That feels good. The paper collection is called I'd Rather Be Crafting - and it's from Echo Park! It's so pretty, and colorful and fun. CLICK HERE to see the entire collection (Paper, stencils, stamps, enamel dots...) I had this perfect sized binder from Simple Stories in my studio too! Yay! I started this project late at night so it was good that I didn't have to go out shopping.
No stamping in this project. Paper, die cut letters, stickers, twine.... But no stamping! It was a fun project - no stress. I didn't use wet glue - everything is held together with lots of scor-tape. That makes for a smoother finished look. (I am inept at using the right amount of liquid glue). I hope this will inspire you to create your own journal! Maybe for crafting, but also for notes, or recipes or even a pretty scrapbook!
The journal is approximately 9x8 inches. It really is the perfect size! I started by covering the front of the journal with the scissor/ruler paper. Then I added everything else. The letter dies are from Taylored Expressions and I die cut them from some woodgrain paper in my stash. I used lots of the pretty stickers to decorate everything!
I made this little bouquet by using the flower stickers and the cute banner. I wanted to pop them up on foam tape in a little cluster! So I die cut some circles to frame my bouquet! It came out perfect!
Twine, stickers and enamel dots...
My cute assistant was very helpful in choosing which papers to use! LOL.
Coming along....
This is the back cover!
And the inside of the front cover using the scallop edge stickers...
That's it for today! Do you like making paper projects like this? I really enjoy being able to customize things for myself and as gifts. It's so special to have a one of a kind item to use! Best wishes for a happy and blessed weekend! See you soon! XOXO

by Matthew Rusling
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27 (Xinhua) -- With tensions on the Korean Peninsula hitting new heights this year, it remains unknown what will occur between the United States and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) in 2018.
The coming year could be the "decisive time" between Washington and Pyongyang, Brookings Institution Senior Fellow Darrell West told Xinhua, adding that it remains unclear whether the international pressure on Pyongyang will deter its missile and nuclear programs.
West noted that to press DPRK top leader Kim Jong Un to slow down weapons testing, U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened military action.
"That could put the region on a path to greater escalation," West said.
Other analysts, however, have a different view.
Stratfor, a geopolitical intelligence group, said in a press statement Wednesday that the United States may actually end up standing by as the DPRK promotes its nuclear weapons development.
"Though we cannot rule out a preventative strike against North Korea (the DPRK) entirely, the threat of a messy war in East Asia that shoves the world back into economic recession is a steep price to pay," said Stratfor Vice President of Strategic Analysis Rodger Baker.
The year 2017 has seen an ongoing war of words between Trump and Kim, with Trump threatening "fire and fury" against the DPRK if it endangers the United States, and Kim threatening to turn the United States into a "sea of fire."
The businessman-turned-president wanted to rid the Korean Peninsula of nuclear weapons, and is trying to ratchet up the pressure on the DPRK, in a game of brinkmanship that has had many nations on edge over this past year. This came amid continued missile tests by the DPRK, as well as the joint military drills by the United States and South Korea.

Despite Trump's heightened rhetoric, U.S. experts said the DPRK would not be letting go of its nuclear weapons program anytime soon.
Analysts said DPRK leaders have always been astute geopolitical observers.
They saw how leaders in Iraq and Libya were toppled by the United States, and Kim did not want to suffer the same fate. Pyongyang sees nuclear weapons as the only ticket to its survival, many U.S. experts say.
Troy Stangarone, senior director at the Korea Economic Institute, told Xinhua that the DPRK faces a security dilemma, as it is surrounded by hostile powers such as South Korea, the United States and Japan.
"From the (DPRK's) perspective, in the absence of nuclear weapons it would not be able to secure its survival," he said.
Other experts argue that the DPRK has always sought nuclear weapons.
The DPRK "has been seeking nuclear weapons since the beginning of its existence," Douglas Paal, vice president for studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, told Xinhua.
When asked whether Trump's rhetoric will help his goal of ridding the DPRK of nukes, Stangarone said that unlike political opponents and U.S. companies, "Kim Jong Un cannot be intimidated" by Trump's rhetoric.

I often have mixed feelings about being back in the countryside. Whilst I do enjoy the break from routine and the beautiful surroundings, I am a city boy at heart and find myself missing the hustle and bustle of London life. I even miss the sound of traffic at all hours. But the one thing I can never get used to is Sundays. Back at home in Kensington, there is always something to do, somewhere to go or someone to see. But out here, in the back of beyond, I often find myself at something of a loose end. If the weather is fine then I can always take a turn around the grounds, maybe even have my old camera with me and try to capture the landscape or the local wildlife, but by and large, I find Sundays in the country a little dreary.
Of course, the churchgoers amongst the local population have their own routines, drifting as they do between the parish church and the local public house before returning home to the traditional Sunday lunch with the family. Of course, life in the City is very different. Whilst there are still plenty of Londoners who regularly make their way to the local churches and watering holes, they do so with a greater sense of urgency whilst battling against a tide of non-believers heading towards the miriad of other venues that offer up Sunday afternoon entertainment of some very different flavours.
I remember my mother was always very involved with the local church, but I don't think my father ever set foot in the place, except for the obligatory weddings, funerals and occasional christening. Personally, I never been one for organised religion and preferred to spend the time at home with the newspapers or listening to the radio.
Of course, just working one's way through the Sunday papers can be quite a challenge in itself. I know some chaps who only get the Sundays as it takes them all week to read them. Personally, I like to settle into a comfortable chair, with a large pot of coffee beside me, and work my way through the various sections and magazines, with a little Bach or Mozart playing in the background. And there is almost nothing better than doing this in front of a roaring open fire. Now that is one of the benefits of a house in the country, having a real fire to keep you warm and cosy.
I must just say that yesterday's little excursion to the local restaurant that Nigel was so keen for me to visit went down very well indeed. I was very pleasantly surprised, not only by the atmosphere and situation of the place but also by the impeccable service and truly wonderful food. The menu is simple and based largely on local produce, with just a hint of the more exotic in their desserts. And Nigel was not exaggerating about the wines. We had a couple of bottles of a particularly exquisite Nuits St Georges that I must say complimented the local steaks extremely well.

Hood River, OR (USA)
Preface: Once again I reach to the back of the fridge and find what might be a relic… I can't find any promotional literature or sell-sheet. There is no "Best By" date on the bottle. However, it does note that the contents are in the style of a Scottish Ale and the alcohol by volume 6.8%… and so another Friday begins.
Appearance: The crystal clear almost red amber brew is topped with a very rocky light tan head of rapidly collapsing large and medium size bubbles. They tat a very loose Belgian lace
Aroma: The first impression is a touch of sugar candy with under-notes of prune. Next comes a toasted malt aroma, followed by that prune note. Finally the aromas blend together and the sugar candy wins with the toasted malt and prune falling away.
Mouth feel: There is a surprising light mouth-feel to this brew.
Flavor: Between lip and sip there was hint of sweet malted barley and then the warmth and tawny sherry flavors exploded. The second sip woke up the hops and they came late to the table but you know they are there. After the third sip the flavor receptors have been overcome and you could be convinced that this is fairly light bodied brown ale with a bit more alcohol than expected.
Finish: The last impression is slightly metallic and hovers between sweet and dry but can't make up its mind.
Comments: First impressions are always important and this brew comes in as homely a label as I have seen in a long while. I do note that it is a vintage Brewmaster Reserve. With relatively high alcohol content I imagine this could take a bit of cellaring to reach its peak flavor.
The pairing of this brew with a crumbling hard salty cheese or rich Stilton would do it no harm.

This is the thing theatre can do that movies can't.
A one of a kind experience.
A chance to watch a 5 minute play in the intimacy of a real elevator.
I was so excited when Theatre Yes approached me to design their posters and online material for The National Elevator Project. The concept of the shoot surrounded some of the most awkward situations you could find yourself in during a quick ride from the 31st floor of a downtown sky rise.
I encourage you to visit theatre-yes.ca or head over to their Facebook page for more information.
Plays are five minutes in length and will be available on demand during a 2 hour window daily (from 7:30pm - 9:30pm; matinees are from 2pm - 4pm).
Tickets can be purchased at Tix on the Square.
